Yep, Camera 360 is the best

miui camera if you dont need fancy effects

Camera360 is a great choice.

I have used pretty much all of them and have finally stuck with vignette as it produces slightly better low light images than the rest IMO.

[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!

Ok...i have used long before. Let me see if it has become better.
Edit: It is not bad but panorama is blurry and the processing takes a lot of time.

[Q] suggestions for sense cam replacement in aosp

The one thing keeping me on a sense rom at present is the lack of a camera app that is anywhere near the HTC stock One.
Really want to make the switch to jellybean and was looking for a few suggestions. Ucam seemed good until I realised you can't stop it beeping and it doesn't use the stock gallery. I have purchased camera360 in the past as well as camera fx but none of the seem quite as easy or fast. By the way I'm fully aware sense cam can't work on aosp.

Currently running CM 10 preview with JB and also missing the camera app.
I tried a couple(mainly to get the hold for multi shot functionality) but they were a little poor.
Pudding Camera - worked ok but not as good.
Fast Burst Camera - very fast burst mode but really poor quality.
Camera Magic - not that good

I found camera mx to be the best. Make sure you update it though to get video recording.

[Q] Best camera app other than stock?

I am running cm10 nightlies on my sgs3 and was wondering what app is a good replacement to aosp camera app? It doesn't take as good of photos as the touchwiz camera on stock, the light balance is too dark and flash gives it a weird hue. I love cm10 but need a better camera app and from what I gather, touchwiz camera apk only works with touchwiz ROMs. Suggestions?

Yes, the AOSP camera sucks big time and the interface is super, extra, ugly and outdated.
you can try lgcamera

For the majority of people, myself included, the stock Camera is just fine for PointAndShoot. I've even purchased CameraZoom when it was on sale, but prefer the simplicity of the default camera. "Best Shot", "Smile Shot", and the other TouchWiz gimmicks are almost never used.

Well I actually don't use any of the gimmick features of the stock touch with camera app, the thing that I liked about it was how it handled low light situations and getting the true color. I will try LG camera.
* I also purchased camera zoom on sale and am currently trying it out.
Any more suggestions? I don't need gimmicks and I don't need photo editing, I just need a very good basic photo taking ability

The best one I've used (and I've tried a bunch!) is the camera app that was included with the Serenity rom....which i think is just the ported Note II app. If you can get your hands on that, try it!

When I was on CM10 I used ProCapture. It lacks HDR which is a big deal for me, but it's pretty good apart from that. The TouchWiz camera is one of the main reasons I switched back.

i have cm10 and i use camera zoom fx it work just fine for me

Yeah...back to touchwiz myself... I am sorry but cyanogen mod just can't equal the picture quality of stock camera... I love aosp...but I have found a good compromise... use a touchwiz rom, use a good aosp launcher and keyboard, and messaging and gallery.... and you get to keep your good camera! Though on another note I am somewhat disappointed with the aosp keyboard now....the Swype is cool but just isn't add accurate as I would like... actual Swype I never have to correct... stock 4.2 keyboard is always getting my words wrong...

wow.
I find the AOSP camera interface great.
are you suggesting the tw camera app is more modern and less ugly interface, because it doesnt look that way here.
For the past week I had aokp on my phone, I was trying to make it work, and had used the camera a dozen or so times to take photos of the weather. I was pretty happy with it initially.
But then yesterday the camera started crashing and not working, a reboot made it work for exactly one photo so not good enough, so I switched back to neatrom (TW). Now by comparison this camera seems a lot worse in functionality. Is probably 70% configurable options missing, seems slower, so the menu responds slower and the focus is pretty bad in comparison it takes a while to focus and then doesnt stay in focus. On top of this I see can only have limited shortcuts at once meaning all the options are never accessible at same time, have to choose which shortcuts. I think the s3 TW camera app is poor, and am currently looking for AOSP camera to put on TW (but seems noone has bothered except chaos?) but would AOSP camera app still be unstable on a TW rom.

I like camera JB+... It does have a similar UI to the aosp camera though (I think I'm one of the few people who love the aosp camera UI).

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!

I'm using Focal (Beta) at the moment and i realy like it

This app is gonna be great when it's released !!
Just my opinion.

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.
