Replace camera app on CM7?

Is there another market camera app or something else to replace the one on CM7? I cant shut off the camera click noise and there is no tap to focus and a few other things.

I for one would like to have the HTC camera app on CM7, but I doubt it will happen due to the possible framework differences.

I was looking for exactly the same thing. Installed CM7RC2, and the only thing I've found lacking was the camera app, which just doesn't come close to the one on the stock HTC rom.
I've just tried out Camera360, and been looking at reviews for Camera ZOOM FX, but both seem to be focused on applying a wide range of effects rather than improving the actual process of taking a photo. To my knowledge, neither had tap-to-focus.
Anyone know of a different app that might do the job a little better?

You can try the MIUI Camera app. The only problem is it doesn't have the ffc, but it's so much better than the stock CM7 one.

I'm trying to figure out how to install the MIUI one and keep the stock one (to use the ffc when I need to).

I use vignette.. Set the resolution to 8M and superfine quality.. Man, that thing takes a photo at 4mb.. Really good image quality.. Definitely first choice..

Second vote for Vignette; costs a couple of pounds and is well worth the price. A ton of brilliant effects, and the image quality without effects is outstanding. I don't think I've used the HTC camera app once since I got this.

Macro Photography in HOX?

OK, I don't know if my hox is faulty or this is a bug in all of them,
so I ask,
How close can you focus the camera on your hox ?
On my device I can't focus less then 0.5-0.7 meters
and that seems odd couse my old nokia could take
great pictures from even 10cm ...

Well I can easily takes pictures of spiders and stuff like that, pretty close.

can you show me?
Mine just get blurry and unfocused
(and yes, I use MACRO mode)

I've managed to take a picture of a sushi menu from about 5-7 inches away from the surface? I'm a freak for properly focused images, so was pretty happy that with the JB update, the camera seems to be able to focus closer than on ICS.

AGRRRR!
So Why can't I?

It's possible, but the camera sometimes seems to go nuts and not focus properly, focusing the background and not the thing you want to take the pic of. Even with touch to focus ^.^

The right lead doesen't seem focused to me.
Does all of your HOXs has this foucus problem?

I have completely surrendered to the idea of taking macro pictures. My HOX just doesn't do it. So I am with you.

For Macro there is a Macro mode given in the camera scenes, beside that after JB update this has been fixed, and focus is like a charm + touch to focus nd shoot is also added. you'll simply love your camera

is it normal sometimes freeze?

Every phone I've had has taken good close pictures without a macro mode. But ok, I put macro mode on and still it can't focus well. I just did a test tonight...took a EVO 4G, a one s and my HOX and they all took a great picture of the ingredients of my coke. My HOX had it all blurry, even in Macro mode. It sucks.

In the LGCamera app, there is a macro focus option which will lock the focus to minimum distance.

Was on purpose, the leaf is not parallel to the phone only half of it is focused. Let me search another pic that looks better.
But is still tricky, it does not always focus perfectly in Macro.. and when it doesn't work I just close the camera app and try again.

Doesn't that make you MAD ?!
Parsenly, I got the phone because I heard of it's great Camera,
and not having a MACRO mode makes me get angry of HTC.
What were they thinking!? I can't even use it to "scan" a writing
on a note or recite

It does makes me angry, because I got specifically the HOX for the Quad-core, 32GB, great screen and camera...Although, I works like charm, and I got JB already, the camera is disappointing. I take pictures everyday since I manage social networks and my phone isn't living the expectations. I need to see if it can be repaired somehow and how much would it cost me.

I believe it must be a bug in software ...
When I try to focus on something close, the phone
IS ABLE to get focus for a moment and then losses it.
(Can't lock the focus)
Any chance it's fixable by some software update?

Anyone knows how to get the Stock G4 Camera app?

Hello!
Yesterday I flashed CyanogenMod on my G4 H815 and just before the phone rebooted, I realized that I won't have the mega-awesome Camera app from LG. So does anyone know if there is any apk or any way to get it? To mention, I didn't backup my device because... because.
Thank you!

Probably won't work even if you get the apk, since most OEM specific apps need OEM specific framework to run. I think the only way to have it working on CM would be to port it. But why would you want that anyway? The image quality won't really change. It's not that much dependant on the app but rather the drivers running the camera.

It's not necessary the image quality, but the flexibility you have with that app (manual focus, iso, exposure time, etc.). I hope there is a way to use that app. While I was searching for it I found that there is the G4 Camera app ported for G3, so I am thinking that there could be the original app somewhere..
Thanks!

It's not possible right now. There have been efforts to port it, but nothing has come out of it yet. There are however other apps that are pretty good. And the CM stock camera app only misses the HDR and Manual settings. The quality otherwise is similar

there are 3rd party apps that should work for manual setting but your max shutter won't exceed 0.7s. This is the already the case with the stock firmware and 3rd party camera apps.
There is something called night shot which the G4 resorts to very often especially with the front camera. that will be gone. Selfies ain't going to be as good. it's also used for the rear in lower light. Though a longer exposure will produce better images. night shot is a convenience when you don't want to set up on a tripod.
The quality otherwise is similar

How can you tell ?
it requires a side by side in full resolution with 2 G4's one with stock & CM under varying lighting. Lots of comparisons like that.
How good is the Cm camera in auto ? that's one of the strengths of the stock G4 camera.
Does the Cm camera make use of the colour sensor at all.

Except for the 30s exposure there is nothing special about that app, just use Proshot and you will be far better, cancel noise reduction make dngs and you have better shots

I can tell because I have seen photos from both cameras (on the computer). And if you really need 2 separate G4s under the same conditions side by side to tell the difference then there is not much difference. It's the audio bitrate debate all over again.
I am not saying it's as good as with stock but similar in most situations. I miss the HDR feature because it helps in low light situations.

Can you post links to examples of photos taken with cm camera ?
saw a few in the g4 community but the max resolution was just 2.4MP, need to be full resolution.
The low light shots on auto were crap. The G4 is a low light shooter in stock auto.
And if you really need 2 separate G4s under the same conditions side by side to tell the difference then there is not much difference. It's the audio bitrate debate all over again.

Such are the requirements for a clinching argument. otherwise its based on faith.
if people want to go down this route they need to know what they will be losing.

heh, anything from 0.5s UP TO 30s isn't possible.
I would be very sceptical about replacing stock with cm camera until i see plenty of examples with cm.
Also bear in mind that vendors keep a very tight lock on their cameras and don't share much with 3rd parties. yeah you can use a 3rd party app in some circumstances but you can never replace the stock camera in all situations. This stock cmaera that can challenge the likes of smasung and is touted as a major selling point of the G4. Yeah, i say its pretty special.
Which is a requirement to any one considering the CM path.
What i'm reading here is if you want CM then you don't care too much about the camera to begin with. That would not surprise me as people that are good with roms don't tend to be very good with camera and vice versa. it's rare to find both those skill sets in people.

Quality camera

Hello
I'm going to buy this phone. but I've heard various descriptions of quality mobile photography ( Elephone p8000)
I need to have a few pictures under various conditions
I finished so I can take your pick.
Please take a few photos taken with a camera in here to share in different lighting conditions
Thank you

I can tell you that the camera is good in the daylight but very poor for low light?
Oh yeah... The macro is terrible(read no macro) since the 05112015 update till today. Except from that the phone is very very very good. Especially if you have Eragon custom rom! But if the camera is no. 1 thing for you buy m2 or wowney...

Pretty much this.
Camera takes pretty OK pictures in good light, terrible pictures in low light and doesn't macro well.
If you are looking for a good and reliable camera, you should look elsewhere (and spend more, most likely).

Camera is decent for a China mobile phone.
Sometimes the edges are a bit blurry but it's okay.
And in my opinion low light pictures are decent as well.
I mean it's the same sensor as the one inside the Galaxy S4 but the software is not well adapted to the sensor with our P8000.
Look at THIS POST HERE
I have no issues with Macros at all. Not with the "workaround" and not without. :good:

The phone has quality problems. The camera is slow (focus lock) and failed while using apps like Whatsapp.
The operating system loader has bugs.

Im using Eragon and HTC camera app. I can beautiful pictures. But to focus takes a little long. I'm hoping Android marsmellow release from elephone brings some improvement. But I definitely recommend this phone but only if you use a custom ROM it's so much beter then the stock ROM

Hello mate,
Have you taken this from Elephone P8000? The pics are amazing. Which camera app and which rom and kernel. I won't get anything even close even if I jump from a building .
Can you please help us amateurs to calibrate settings to get such pics.
Thanks,

Good app i Snap Camera. You have options like in digital camera. I've use from copule of weeks and in my oppinion is much better than orginal stuff.

What camera app are you using?

Hi,
We all know how much ****ty the camera is of our htc 816 , first when i was in kitkat i guess it was fine and great But after lollypop it's completely ruined.
So for the best performance what camera app are you using ? Mostly for taking selfies - when i take selfies there so much noise and blurriness in the pictures.
Also if you are using some custom setting for your camera app please share :3
I have been thinking of buying a new one only for front camera, so if anyway i can make this one better that will save all the money
Thanks
