MIUI Camera APK

Found a miui camera apk for the Amaze that works pretty well on our phones (no video though). Thought I would share it.
Link: Miui Camera
I find I can take better quality photos with the miui app which seems to have a better ability to handle exposure settings, and produces better quality images (especially in macro) than the stock app. I know a lot of people hate the miui camera but I'm not one of them.
Few samples (from my T989 and i9100)

Just wondering - is the Samsung camcorder disabled using this app? Is it possible to use the MIUI camera and Samsung camcorder.....

Of course It won't overwrite the stock camera app. You can still use the stock one at any time.

Lower ISO is normally better... ISO 100 would be best. Low ISO's and Low light won't work though....pictures will be blurry.

Best camera app

I have about 4 different camera apps on my phone. I would love to hey Rid of as many as I can to make space. what is your opinion on the best camera app in terms of both real time and post processing effects, quality, etc. maybe even one that can also do 720p video without stutter. I'm on mikg 3.11 ROM. Thanks...

I just switched to the Nitrous ROM from mikg. I miss the mikg camera though. Is there any way to get that camera on another ROM? I had to switch because of insufficient storage issues and not being able to do a titanium backup. I tried everything suggested in the forums to no avail. Oh well. I like the Nitrous, but miss the camera.

Camera 360 is solid

[Q] App for panorama in CM7.2

I flashed official CM7(latest nightly) and I liked its performance. But I found out that the camera app was poor and it is not as good as the one in Samsung Stock firmware. Also, the panorama and smile shutter option is missing and there is no way to use flash in video mode. So I want to ask a few things...
1)Is there any good panorama apps in the market or somewhere else which is like the one in stock camera and which takes good pictures without blur? I need it very much!
2) Is there any way to enable flash in video recording?
3) Is there any app for smile shutter(I use it rarely anyway, mostly for showoff!
Thanks in advance!

CM10 HDR mode, a joke compared to Samsung TW camera

So I flashed CM10 so I could have the latest Android release. I like the new features and I love the camera controls. The HDR feature though is weak, pretty much unusable unless you have a tripod. The stock TW camera was nearly perfect when I did HDR. Ive tried other HDR apps in the Play Store and none of them are any good.
Does Samsung have something special in its camera app? Better algorithms that nobody else has figure out yet for HDR? I know this is probably not possible, but could the TW camera be used in CM10?

Agreed and no, and Samsung camera has all the code it needs to function, CM/aosp and other roms alike use what they can and crack their own hacks to make things function. If they had the proprietary drivers and coding and such their camera would be superb. No go on the TouchJizz camera on CM though, I wish it was possible to have Touchwiz camera and AOSP gallery but they just had to tie them into one app lol.

Search for app 'Hdr Camera' in play store.
Works better than stock CM HDR - takes photos *much* faster, combines them more accurate.

Tried that app, found it slow compared to Samsungs camera.

Can anyone recommend a camera app?

Okay so I started using the stock ROM but then I moved over to cyanogen for a little while only to find out that the camera in cyanogen was really bad so I move back to stock and I'm not saying I regret the decision but I really would love to go back to cyanogen so I was wondering if anyone might know of a camera app that is comparable to the stock app for this device any help would be appreciated!

yes I was using focal but i cannot have a buggy camera. im a photographer and I use my phone a lot for scouting for shoots rather than carrying around my main gear. need something that will replace the cm10 sh*t camera with good features and functionality as the stock camera on the s4.

ProCapture!

There's an .apk for the Google Edition camera over in the Themes/Apps section. I use it alongside the stock camera and it's every bit as good I think.

I disagree with the assessment that AOSP camera is sh*t. Kudos to the developers - it's pretty fast and very, very usable, and the swipe to gallery is great (haven't seen that in any other party camera app). I'm picky about the camera.
That said, if you're set to find a 3rd party camera, then look at Camera FV-5.
Compared to all the other apps listed on this thread, it's superior with basic camera features missing in the other apps, such as focus mode, manual ISO, exposure compensation, exposure bracketing, grid layovers, etc. No gimmicky filters or effects like the others listed here. It makes a decent 'manual' camera out of the limited capability that the phone comes to begin with. It shows the 'life' shutter speed. Its auto ISO has a bias to go higher ISO than AOSP camera - up to 2000, so it may guard against shake but at the expense of grainier pics in the darker settings, but these phones aren't meant for that anyway. ProCapture is the closest to FV-5, but not as good for manual settings (i.e., after you set the exposure compensation on ProCapture, you won't see the value explicitly shown, so that could trip you). The one thing about FV-5 is it has a tad slower startup than the stock AOSP camera.

Updating my recommendation to either "A Better Camera" or Lenovo Super Camera.
