Which camera app are you using with the OP3?
I'm wondering if I should use another app with more functions than the stock camera.
Can anybody recommend a good alternative?

Unfortunately the camera API appears to be buggy. Someone said the OP2 had camera API issues at the start and they took care of them quickly, so I'm optimistic. Third party cameras rely on that API, so they'll be kind of crippled until it's fixed.
As for cameras, I'm a big fan of FV5 and ProShot. It depends on what you are looking for. I definitely don't care for filter-centric cameras, so I can't suggest anything.
Can you record 1080p 60fps with alternative camera apps? Try for example open camera.
Thanks
I'm waiting someone make a port of OPPO camera, I had it on the 1+1 and I love it. Now I'm using native Camera and google Camera but I had install htc and meizu camera too.
Does the OP3 camera API support the full features of ProShot?
Coming from a Note4 particularly missing white balance sampling for documents and such.
Thanks.

Is it possible to copy the algorithm of Google pixel camera and install it in Xiaomi mi 5s? Because both have exactly same sensors. As I have seen the reviews of Xiaomi mi 5s, there is a room for improvement in the software. Specially night shots need improvement. So is there any way to copy pixel's algorithm and software into mi 5s?
At this point? Probably not.
In the future? Who knows, I hope so too...
We might (or might not) need to copy some libraries from pixel's system image, and probably must use the included google camera (which requires android 7.0 for now...)

Why not replace the crappy dual camera of 5s plus with dual imx378? Is it possible? I am really curious to do something with these phones.

Not possible because of so many things...
- There's likely no drivers for IMX378 included in the kernel/system by xiaomi for Mi5s Plus
- You must have to somehow find dual IMX378 module with the same pin configuration as the original one for it to even turn on (won't work if there's no driver for it though...)

It would be redundant, the 5s plus uses a normal sensor with a monochrome sensor, similar to P9, and this allows (should) better lowlight, and higher dynamic range, however from samples I've seen, Xiaomi has not implemented it very well. They would have been better off with one 378 sensor, as that is currently one of the best mobile sensors
Man I think the original idea is ask about how we can get the eis and quality photos video from pixel to the mi5s small who carrier the same sensor.
How get software from pixel to mi5s (pixel too expensive), I want use the Xiaomi mi5s small with cm14 and Google pixel software/library features camera

Yes, and I think I've already answered that. Pixel runs android 7.1, Mi5s runs 6.0, you can't get the camera app that comes with pixel to run on mi5s, and if you manage to backport that to android 6.0, what if it needs some library, can you make sure that it is can run on android 6.0, while it is built for android 7.1?
Moreover, I found out the hard way that Mi5s did not specify it's HFR modes, so the latest Google Camera that is compatible with android 6.0 won't run at all. Except if you turn the HFR functionality off, by adding this line to your build.prop:
Code:
persist.camera.hal3hfr.enable=0
I don't know if this bug comes from xiaomi, or xiaomi.eu (as I am running xiaomi.eu's ROM right now), and I don't know if it's gonna be fixed in the future.
You're welcome to pursue this idea, but keep that things in mind
Since Google's HDR+ is so good in low light, has anyone tried alternative 3rd party apps that use image stacking to improve low light IQ ( Better Camera and Snap HDR Cam low light modes come to mind)
I am interested in this phone because of the price and sensor and would like an HDR+ alternative.
Has anyone tried those apps? Thanks
Try cortex camera, it basically is the best app at stacking images.

Hi, thanks for the information about google camera. Any possibility that we can have settings like manual iso, or hdr (just normal hdr) ? Is it exclude to nexus devices, I mean after hacking still? How about the snapdragon camera, it seems that we need caf kernel, but maybe it's working after adding this line?

We already have manual controls, just use snap cam and enable cam 2 api in it's settings, or use FreeDcam and you get full manual

That's true, I'm just curious if google has better post processing (now I think an app won't change much) If apps can't change, is it possible to copy the drivers from pixel, if the sensors are the same? Meanwhile, we don't have iso 50 (although maybe the native iso is 100, so 100 might be better than 50). Freedcam seems to be able to enable eis on camera api 1, but it crashed a lot, and it's api 1. Now I'm confused which is the best choice. I'm using snap camera, but there's no long exposure like the stock camera (up to 32s, I think it's a stack of photos). Sorry I asked a lot, but it seems that you are an expert . Last question, the stock camera in manual mode, the preview never changes while changing iso/shutter speed. In other apps, it got very slow when the shutter is long (1/3 s). I wonder if this is because imx 378 is very powerful and generating large data, or it's MIUI‘s bug?

I guess Google's HDR+ algorithm is the only great thing the Pixel has we don't besides that fact they don't have long exposure so they can't take as good night pics as us.
In camera 1 Api we can go all the way to 60 sec, although stock libs limited at 32 sec which is fine. Also we do have ISO 50 on FreeDcam API 2, I think I have a specially built FreeDcam by @defcomg who sorted it out. I'll ask him if I he or I can post it here.
Also Quallcomm seemed to mess up the camera libs recently and max exposure on cam 2 api is only around 5 sec.
But I suggest you to experiment with Snap and FreeDcam, I use FreeDcam for long exposures and low light shots. And I use snap camera in the day time. I have denoise and ZSL forced off for both of them.
The preview should get slow and laggy on cam 2 api but stay the same on Cam 1 api

I tried freedcam with 50 iso, but the photo actually got iso 100 still. You can also set iso 50 in snap camera, which still outputs 100.
Turn ZSL (0 lag?) is better for HDR? I heard a saying that ZSL is not as good as longer hdr, which is software implementation.

When zsl is enabled you can't have manual controls, so that's why I disable it. But also try in FreeDcam (cam 1) to set shutter speed and leave ISO on auto and see, it's possible to get up to 0 ISO.

cam 1 you mean Camera api 1? It crash a lot (every time I touch to focus, or use exposure longer than 1/3s ). I couldn't got iso lower than 100. Do I need to use hdr mode to get this or any mode as long as I set iso to auto and a long shutter?
hdr+ is out for mi5s
It's funny since people thought it was impossible 1+ year ago but now thanks to awesome devs more devices can taste the magic of Google Camera HDR+

I'm an android developer and I need to know if this phone is implementing the depth module from the camera 2 api.
Is someone available to install a very simple apk (attached) that lists the camera capabilities and post the screenshot with the output?
It would mean a lot, thanks.

What will this do? Can i install on my v30?
The app just lists the camera functions supported by each camera. you can install on V30 but I already know that it doesn't have depth capability

Well, this is bad news, whats the point of adding a TOF camera if you don't expose it in the api? Only for some portrait adjustments in your own camera app and even those don't work that well according to the reviews.

The p30 has a tof camera on the rear as for the g8 it is on the front so if you think you can improve the rear portrait videos by implmenting the tof data differently you are wrong.

I'm pretty sure the only reason LG cared about the tof cam is for face unlock. It works seamlessly, while everything else here that uses tof are half baked gimmicks.
Does face Id is supported for third party apps authentication?
Hi, I would like to use the wide angle and macro lens in apps that access the camera using the "camera2 api"... Unfortunately on MIUI only the main camera supports the camera2 api...
If I install a custom rom, will I get all lenses to support camera2 api? (I had a Huawei p30 pro in my hand, on which it worked normally)
Maybe i could add camera2 api support by editing build.prop... but I don't know how.
Could someone help me? can someone confirm me that "Camera2 API Probe" app show camera2 api ID for all lenses? (on custom rom ofc.)
plakonn said:

I guess support for the additional lenses can be added to build.prob, but i think nobody figured how to do it. (and even with root i cant edit build.pro for some reason... so it wouldn't help me anyway)
EDIT: Can someone with custom rom tell me? (if app "Camera2 API Probe" show all lenses? i mean more than two camera IDs)

All the lenses on miui rom support Camera2api and all lenses can be enabled in gcam for example on bsg or arnova.

I would like to use all lenses on third party apps downloaded from playstore... (like Streamlabs, filmic pro (and other camera apps)
app called "Camera2 API Probe" show camera2 api support for two lenses... ID 0 (that is main sensor) and ID 1 (that is selfie cam.)
As i mentioned in edited post. I had borrowed Huawei p30 pro, that was able to use all lenses in these apps.
Xiaomi is restricting third party apps to "see" the additional lenses. You'll have to edit the build.prop to add their package names in order for them to be recognised. Still there's no guarantee that it would work.

You need to be rooted and edit the build.prop in Vendor or System by adding the app package name to "vendor.camera.aux.packagelist".
@zaqm Thanks you soooo much! I did not know about this... Thanks you!
Edit: unfortunately its not working... The reason why it don't work may be the fact i don't know how to edit build.pro (im using magiskhide module that can systemless edit build.prop) or its not working cause xiaomi using different approach to aux cameras (or different api.... I dont know)
