Hello,
there are many camera apps available on play market. Have you had better experiences with any of them comparing to stock JB camera? Are there any major quality/speed differences?
Two that I like are ShotControl and Camera FV-5
The latter has option to save in .PNG. Former has more onscreen controls for easy access.
No apps can change the quality and speed of the camera majorly. I personally love stock JB camera and am not thinking of switching to any third-party anytime soon
CameraZoomFX and Vignette are also 2 really good apps to try.
vignette and camera360

Hi, have been using stock sgs camera. Its okay.. but was wondering if there's a better camera app out there.
When I had my HTC magic, camera 360 really improved the quality of the photos.
But when I compare the photos I took on my sgs from the stock camera app vs camera 360, I kinda prefer the stock camera colours.

Have you tried Vignette.It has loads of different settings.
I've only tried the demo version of vignette. And that does not allow the 5mpx resolutions to be used. Besides the array of settings, does vignette actually improve the quality of the photos taken? Thanks.

The full version of Vignette does indeed take better quality images, but it takes significantly more time to process the photos.
i just tried vignette and the quality was near enough the same .. refunded it cos it wasnt worth the money
the camera is the only thing i dont like about this phone
Have you tried the Photoshop app? Its not exactly a camera application but it has lots of settings for touching photos up afterwards. Maybe one of the filters will give you the effect you require
I too would pay for a real pro app. Something that will take higher res panorama shots and something with a real HDR function. By real I mean not a simulation and not tone mapping from the gallery pics. There's a app for the iDevices that works wonders on the iP4. Tried everything so far, still waiting.
Try: camera 360 pro

360 pro simulates HDR and simulates a lot of other stuff, we need a app that actually takes better shots etc. At least that's my experience with it.
The camera apps on the android market are really sub-par.
I don't use the camera much to begin with, but an app as good as Hipstamatic or Camera Pro like on the iPhone would be great.
Vignette has an ugly interface and has average picture quality, and Retro Camera has horrible picture quality.
Hi Guys,
I know there are similar threads, BUT the ONE X does have a very special camera, and I was wondering if anybody has had any luck with any specific Camera Apps yet?
Here are a few that I've tried so far, but nothing too special to be honest:
1. Camera 360
2. Paper Camera
3. Stock Camera App
So far Camera 360 is probably the best, but I've heard good things about Camera FV-5 and Camera Zoom FX?
When you say camera 360 is probaly the best, in what way?
Lower compression would be great, but I wonder how much the imagesense chip will restrict this and can third party camera apps bypass this process. I have tried camera fv-5 and there does seem to be a little less compression, which allows for slightly more detail, also you can save in png, but there is no zoom function.
All third party apps bypass ImageSense. I love Camera360. Way less compression, and the available filters are pretty cool too, better than Instagram~
I use now Camera ICS.
This one can disable the compression (at least it says so) and indeed the files get much bigger (100% in jpeg mode instead of 90 or 95%)
And since it still is JPG, you still can use the EXIF info.
I tried some others, but they did miss options or did also compress or the lighting was worse, or .......
I've tried a lot of 3rd party camera apps and, honestly, I find the stock HTC app to be the best.
Camera FV-5 is very good though.
Camera360 was great until some background process started to overheat My HOX, and I uninstalled it..

Stock HTC app has the best UI, but the worst image quality.

Hmm, can't say I've ever had this problem.
You may find this of interest, I have done a quick comparison between these camera apps.
1. Camera 360
2. Camera ICS
3. Camera FV-5
4. HTC Camera

Ive just been using stock ive had no problems with it
Stock is better than camera zoom fx, that thing may have bigger files but it is grainy in low light and over exposed everywhere else (unless you like that).
I can get better pictures using stock and the opening gallery and clicking that edit button.
If you click edit > effects then edit at the top you can manually edit all the filtering

The thing about the camera apps is that you can control exposure way more than you can with the stock app. If you were serious about taking pictures on the HOX, you'd be fiddling with every setting there is Stock camera definitely has the better metering, but I still believe that image quality wise, there's still way too much compression. I'll try to do a comparison some day.
Hi, all
I'll be switching over to AOKP (probably once build 40 comes out) from Juggernaut, but my only hesitation is losing the stock camera app, which I've come to love.
Any recommendations for a replacement with the same feature set? That is, one that takes advantage of all the tweaks available for our camera (exposure, metering, ISO, white balance). I don't care so much about filters (I prefer taking "regular" photos) or upload/sharing capabilities. I just want to take high quality shots with a stable app, preferably one that's not particularly resource heavy.
From what research I've read, these are the apps on my watch list:
Camera360
CameraZoom FX
Vignette
IgCamera
Any recommendations? Thanks, all
I use Camera FV-5. I am a semi-pro photographer and this app makes me miss my 5DMKII a little less.
Bro I use procapture and it works great. Way better pics.

Anyone have recommendations of third party camera apps for our phone? Running CM 10.1 and really dislike the quality of photos taken with the stock camera.
I have Camera Zoom FX and it is pretty good. Anyone have recommendations of a different third party app that works well? I am looking for the best quality picture with everything set to 'auto' as I am by no means a photographer. Thanks!

Try LgCamera: It was simple and very fast for me and sometimes people don't want 400 settings, filers, moes, etc.

Does xperia M5 camera let you set shutter speed? I know the stock camera app doesn't have option for that but maybe third party apps? Camera fv 5 and android camera test will let you see that.
I find it strange that xperia phones come with such a poor camera app. They don't even save RAW. Good camera quality is one of their marketing factors.
