I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. Is there a way in Android or an App that can take Raw photos ? IE: Have the raw camera data to process in a program like Photoshop. I am using Android 4.2.2. | NO, there is no public API that allows developers to create camera apps that takes raw photos.

Google Maps was updated last night (9-July-2013 v7.0.0). While there's a lot they added, one thing they removed was the ability to cache maps offline. I relied on that functionality in poor-coverage areas. Is there anything I can do? | Update: Apparently there was enough of a hue and cry about it that they've added a button, although "ok maps" will still work.
