[Q] Alternative Camera MIUI V5 - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

Hey Guys,
Hope that someone can help.
Currently I'm running Miui V5 but the camera is very poor. As i'm going on holiday soon and want to take some decent pictures.
Does anyone know of a good camera app or mod that i can use?
I have tried the following
Apps
Camera ZOOM FX - Took photos but did't add them to any album?
Snap Camera - Kept freezing
Mods
Camera JB from nexus galaxy s4 - FC'd
Camera Mod Cyber-shotâ„¢ For Xperia S - Flashed OK but didn't work
Any Idea?

The same problem.
Maybe somebody knows how to install original stock camera from SGS3 on MIUI v5 (3.6.28) - 4.2.2 (JDQ39E)

why dont you move back to stock rom if you need the camera ?!

Because MIUI the best one. I love this rom...

Guys,
Its all good, latest miui update seems to have sorted out the issues that I had with the camera.

In my opinion the one that works best with the Xperia S is "ProCapture - camera + panorama"
Good Luck!:good:

I recommended to use:
1. Cymera - Camera & Photo Editor
2. Camera Zoom FX

Newer N4 camera app

I've built a zip of what I think is a newer N4 camera. I got the camera apk and it's associated lib files by downloading and deodexing the N4 factory image. I got the GMScore.apk from a the 4.1.2 MC3 firmware. The zip is zipaligned and signed.
I renamed the N4 camera to Gallery2 instead of GalleryGoogle. I've tested it (running MC3) and it works. It should replace the stock camera in aosp ROMs.

@Theshawty Works on cm10.1 roms and fixes the front camera too. The front camera no longer gets stuck when taking a pic and works normally
Touch to Focus??
Does this fix Touch to Focus with flashlight issue?

Supposedly, yes. It does not have the option to choose storage, though.

Thank you! Works so much better!
I'm still facing the flash problem but I can open the camera after it happened immediately to take another picture which wasn't possible before. The freeze of front camera is gone :good:
Does it have sphere function? Does it replace the CM10.1 cam. CM cam has now got fixed Touch2Focus.

Yes it has photopshere and yes it replaces the CM10.1 cam. Touch2focus should work as those as hal fixes I believe.
It works for me. I think the picture quality of this is better than CM cam (comparable to SS stock and Huawei cameras). But this Cam lacks several new features recently added to CM (except for sphere). Camcoding HD suffers from the same "distorted preview" as in CM cam.

I have just had a clean installation of the latest CM nightly, and CM cam has no distorted preview. But when I flash N4_cam, it still shows distorted preview in HD (720 and 1080) mode.
If you have no such issue, pls share the latest N4_cam flashable zip.
:highfive:

Nexus 4 camera app for Galaxy Nexus

hello

same android, same camera ( except the 8 megapixel)
anybody try the n4 camera app on galaxy nexus ? the HDR function is in ?

It will not work that way. Try CM10.1 ROMs, their camera app has HDR function

and the cm10.1 camera apk will work on stock ? maybe this way

Sorry won't work because CM10.1 camera use CM files permission i try it before and the camera was crashing every time that i was trying to open but the HDR is no that good anyway you have to use a tripod or it will be moved the photo is really sensitivity because it will take 3 photography on one shot
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
thanks the information, hopefully the next android release will be include the HDR
Use HDR Camera from the Play Store. Works better than the CM camera in my opinion, which had a tendency to blur photos.

done. but the n4 make better pictures. this is why i want to this feature in my gnex
thats easy
- with root explorer delete gallerygoogle.apk on system/app
- extract gallery.apk from cm10.1 file and move it to system/app (don't forget change permissions to rwx - rxx - rxx)
now you have hdr feature like N4 on your gnex with stock camera
i already test this on rootbox 4.2.2 ROM and no FC on camera

it takes better pictures because the actual camera in the N4 is better than the one in the G-nex. different lenses, larger MP etc.
HRD camera is a great way to get some "HDR" action on the Gnex. or you can download something like picsay pro and apply the HDR filter afterwords. no, its not TRUE HDR like the Nexus 4, but our hardware just isn't fast enough to take real HDR shots.

It will give you FC if you use stock... You r using a rom base on cm that's why may worked

Use a modified GAPPs like this one. I will get rid of photoshere and not sync photos to picasa but it will give you the HDR option. Its called :gapps-jb-20130301-signed-edited.zip
at this website ---http://goo.im/devs/qnhoang81/toroplus/AOKP
its easier to just install camera360 (free)....... the HDR functinon is FAR better with more options ..... as an added bonus you get all the other filters and functions as well

Cybershot Mod for JB rom or Best Camera Mod

Is cybershot app mod available for any JB rom and if not will it ever be available?
I have searched hard enough but failed to find it.
Which is the best camera mod for JB roms? I am using SJB.

So far, no one has succeeded porting sony's camera to non-sony JB ROM.
Maybe it is a trade off we must pay for JB speed. Believe me, everytime I use a JB ROM, I always goes back to sony's ICS ROM because of the camera.
Sent from my LT15i
The question is whether it will ever be possible to use any cybershot mod on JB roms.
If not, I'll have to switch back to ICS with a heavy heart...

Camera FV-5 has a few otherwise missed features: [play.google.com]
I'm planning on switching to CM10.1 sometime. If anyone tries this out on a JB rom sooner, please report back. Thanks!
FV 5 and cybershot are completely poles apart. It's for full manual control while the later is for powerful automatic mode. Plus its not free (limits resolution) and is not good enough to be purchased.
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda app-developers app
You're missing the point. It's not as good as Cyber Shot but it brings a few features (excluding scenes) to Cyanogen roms that would otherwise be stuck with the stock app. If you're running a Cyber Shot compatible Rom, stick to Cyber Shot.
Try Ucam Application. It's not a mod but it's a good app.

Blur option force closes, video recording is choppy, photo sphere and panorama do not work and image quality is not impressive. That is on CM 11 16.04 nightly.

WOW! seems to be a piece of ... but reportedly, it works better on Mahdi ROM
every thing works fine on liquid smooth v3. official build... :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Currently on CM11 20140418 nightly.
Pros:Minimal Interface
Nicer Icon
Full HD recording is smooth
Cons:Average Photo Quality(Normal on Cyanognenmod ROMs though)
Lens Blur DOES not work(Presses the button,then FC)
Panorama and Photosphere DOES not work(Gives Black viewfinder)
Overly Simplified UI does not have much settings.(By much I mean nearly NONE)
Verdict:Can be much improved if all the bugs were fixed and some of the settings return.The UI is slick but too simplified IMO.
I recommend you get it once bugs are fixed.Hence,getting a much better experience.
Score:3/5
Photosphere works fine on CM11(Unofficial).

Unfortunately there isn't any.It only works on 4.4 and above and as you know stock is currently 4.1.2 and has yet to be updated by LG.
But you can find the apk file here:http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/04/16/breaking-google-releases-stock-camera-app-to-the-play-store/
I am not responsible if your phone bricks or anything though.
search new google camera for jelly bean and you'll find some results. I've downloaded but not tested yet.

[REQ] Archiport stock camera for AOSP 4.4.2

Is it possible for someone to get the stock Samsung camera from Archiport 4.4.2 onto AOSP roms such as CM11. The stock camera is the only one that seems to allow video recording on Snapchat or Vine & I'd like to have it in CM11:good:

Samsung have the blobs for the stock camera, aosp camera is a toy in comparison for this reason I will never return to aosp T_T. so if samsung don't give us his sources we never have the awesome view in aosp
PD:I love aosp but the camera...

Actually the camera on Slimkat works pretty fine. I agree that its not that good as samsung stock one, but not that bad at all. I've heard also that in new CM11 for our phone the camera works well too. But as it was said - I wouldnt believe that it will be as good as stock, because I don't think samsung will give us the drivers.
@edit
I also saw some fix mod for camera, which replaces stock camera in AOSP rom and works even better

To be honest All i want is a camera that works with both Snapchat and vine for video recording. snaps only record 3 seconds instead of 10 and vine just wont record at all :crying:
