Is there a fast enough camera app that produse decent quality photos to be used as the default in CM7? I like d default in sence rom. Is there a similar app to be used in cm7?
Vignate, HLR Cam and all others i tried are slow. The faster cam apps produce poor quality photos.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
I have tried camera360 and vignette, as they were the best camera apps they told me. Both take about 10 seconds to process a photo though which annoyed me, and imo the quality was not even better than the stock cyanogenmod app.
So I keep using the stock one, which can also make videos (as many camera apps can't). Try using a different theme that changes the layout of the stock app a little. It still looks like ****, but at least a bit better
Hi,
how about this?
I just install it to CM 7.1 RC and its lots better than stock camera. Better setting.
If interest, download it to link what is in page 3, then you get english version, otherwice it is china...

on page 3 it is posted "With default parameters aosp stock camera beats miui in terms of sharpness and focusing."
Also I read about problems uninstalling it, so I haven't tried it myself...
I'm using MIUI Camera, pretty solid and good.
I've been on the camera hunting too. The ONLY app which satisfied me (and reminded me of the features my previous phone -n95- had) was Camera Advance But on the CM7Nightlies at least, the app produces a black screen when taking photos, rendering the camera useless untill you reboot the device. The dev knows about it, but it has been months since the last update.
But it's worth the try if you ask me. Photo quality is awesome.
Hi!
I've just unlocked my bootloader and flashed the Jaguar Rom. I like it very much, but opening the camera app came with it was quite a disappointment. There are very few settings and autofocus is.. well.. not the best.
So i'm wondering if you guys know about any well tested, good performing camera apps which works on this rom.
Yeah, i know there are similar threads, but they are at least one year old. I'm hoping something changed since.
I am on Jaguar too and I am using Open Camera from Play Store. I think OptimusPro is using it too.
We only thing I miss is, that I cannot make fotos in 20MP 16:9. But I think this is a restriction to the AOSP rom. The camera apps for stock sony rom seems to be a lot better. But quality is ok for me.
edit: the standard camera app is really a joke.
So, this is it. I'm running ZUI 2.5.412 ST, and read somewhere that it has a glass lens and it can compete with many high quality cellphone cameras. The thing is, that with stock camera app I'm not getting nearly the performance on mid light as i see on youtube. Pretty much on outside light it looks amazing (anyway, the fact that i cannot tell the difference there doesn't mean that it's not there). Also there are [email protected] videos there, where the stock camera app and stock zui doesn't let me modify the fps settings at any way, the questions are mostl likely:
1) Is stock camera app the best quality option? I'm not into ROMs and this kind of apps neither, so don't know how much it would change. Could I change the fps and more quality settings with this or that is a ROM-thing
2) I want to flash a new ROM (as I read, Jaguar is the most stable) but, if I'm not mistaken, general camera quality for videos and photos on ROMs tends to be worse, can you confirm me this? Or there's a ROM with good photos and video quality that I can check out? I'm using automatic settings and that's mostly what I look for, anyway wouldnt mind having great manual settings to adjust if i want to for some specific shots!
3) When you flash camera blobs and default camera app on a custom ROM, what does it really mean? I can get stock performance on custom ROMs? Will it work for any camera app as long as I install the blobs?
4) What's the native and best output scalation for front camera and front back camera? Don't know how to tell if the lens are 4:3, 1:1 or 16:9, is there info of that somewhere?
Thank you so much!
Stock ZUI has better camera quality than a custom ROM. AFAIK, no one has ported the ZUI camera app and framework to a custom ROM.
On a Nougat custom ROM without camera2 API support, your best bet is the OnePlus camera app. It does HDR, but photos are still awful. This is the current setup I have, and photos are much worse than the Nexus 5 I migrated from (which used the GCam app with HDR+).
Some Oreo ROMs support camera2 API, so you can use a modded GCam app. Google's HDR+ algorithm produces pretty decent photos. This is probably the highest quality you'll get on a custom ROM - but it's still a little unstable at the moment and I don't know how it compares to the ZUI camera.

Yes, but I mean, I saw some photos on youtube/google and also videos, my quality is not even near that, I understand photos could be taken with manual options, but the videos too? Also saw that many low-light videos look slow af, mines doesn't, but the quality is waaaay worse. Don't know what setting I'm missing really. Does the OnePlus camera app let you configure all the settings for photos and video? Or it's as limited as the stock one?
No, the OnePlus app has very few configuration options. It's probably worse than stock in that regard.
You could try flashing one of the ROMs with camera2 API support and see how you find the quality of GCam HDR+. I don't know where you saw videos of fantastic Z2 camera performance - it's always been really disappointing for me personally, regardless of settings or configuration.

Just saw a few from youtube, I didn't mean it's fantastic, but it's better than mine for sure

Does the modded Google Camera HDR work on these roms?

I have a nexus 5 , looking to upgrade. Good choice?
I keep switching between ZUI stock camera app, Open Camera, and Camera MX app.
I guess they process images quite differently from each other so at different condition, different app (out of those 3) produce good results.
I am not a camera guru so I rarely go manual. So I keep switching between those three in auto mode to find the best one to shoot.

I got the Z2 early this year - it was a good replacement for the N5. Similar form factor, much better battery life, faster performance. But the N5 has a better camera and the ROM scene was much better.

Does the ported GCam work on this? The camera on nexus 5 rocks with HDR+... If it works, this device is mine...

Yes, but only on Oreo roms because only there does the camera2 api work, and at the time all the Oreo ROMs are on an alpha stage, so unless someone manages to enable c2a on nougat, or if you want to be using an alpha/beta stage roms, you will have to wait a bit for the best experience

Thanks for the update. That's encouraging! I would've migrated the phone to Oreo if it were not for the lack of Agps.

There is gps and Agps, maybe he meant that on actual Oreo roms there's no way to enable Agps, don't know

A-GPS is network assisted GPS and it's not yet possible on Oreo for ZUK Z2. GPS on the other hand will work but a location fix will take minutes, that means no instantaneous location sharing or resolution in apps.
Does picture quality take a hit on custom ROMs such as Lineage, DU, AOKP, etc.? The reason I ask is it seems like I remember reading that some of the software tricks that google uses to improve pictures is proprietary to the Pixel phones software so it is not in AOSP builds? Is that accurate or bologna?
If you use the ROM's stock camera then yes, but you can always install camera apps based on the Google Camera apk such as Camera NX.
hi,
Anyone know how can improve the camera quality since the google camera application wont work without gapps.
I thought about using the modded gcam, and i have tried a few, and they also wont start.
Device is Pixel XL.
Thanks

Some AOSP roms include the Snapdragon or Snap camera, which is considerably better than the AOSP one.
You can also try third-party cameras, like Open Camera.
