Just looking for a replacement camera app with better overall performance
- as a bonus, an app that can take advantage of photosphere? Looks like 360panarama doesn't work on the N4. Also, ability to upload to google maps is a nice bonus to handle sharing photosphere without google+?
I'm gonna guess I am at Google's mercy with all things photosphere though.
I'm looking for one with a self timer. Don't care about photosphere...

this one seems to be all about filters... does it have good actual camera functions and controls = better than the native cam?
Camera fv5, many manual controls
Motorola stock camera app from this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069139... very great with timer and a lot of options

Don't need to install that ROM? Just install the APK?
The default camera app struggle way too much with the auto focus and just cant get it right in the first trial. Therefore, I use Camera FX Zoom as mentioned by people above too. Its a great app. Has timer.. Burst mode.. and focuses extremely quick and accurate.

Its a known bug in N4's camera. N4 Auto focus complaints:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=43153
There are 28,660 pages filled with user complaining about auto focus.
They should have seriously fixed the camera auto focus and WiFi screen off in the Latest update. Who knows what went wrong with Google ...........

Seems you can't do HDR with front facing camera and all photos that save from front camera are upside down. Anyone else have those two issues?

Hi,
I currently use this, Camera JB+: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tb2JseW54LmNhbWVyYWpicGx1cyJd
Simple, easy, looks like the stock camera app (with her own gallery), standard settings plus a bit more, perfect for my use...
2 reasons this thread has made my day
1. I'm not the only one with a focus bug using the stock camera pp
2. It introduced me to Camera Zoom FX, it's brilliant! (if you won't miss photosphere)

Here is the million dollar question though. Does it focus well with FLASH? Google really messed up with this damn camera. I swear up and down that the Nexus One had a better camera than this garbage they put in here. It's absolutely useless with flash. I can't use it at all!! Damn you Google!!?

My problem, in addition to the worst focusing ever, is that the camera software totally blows out anything I take a picture of with flash. Pictures of my friends make them look like highlighters!

That 28,700+ (now) number is the amount of open issues with Android in general, not the auto-focus.

Well, I love photosphere and I have got into the habit of taking them almost everywhere I go and then uploading to the google maps streetview project (which makes them easy to share in photosphere mode without google+).
But, I have to assume there isn't any camera app out there that can share to google maps other than Google's own. So, I still will be stuck with the stock app for at least that.

Hi,
here is a beautiful fast & unique camera app from Moto x,
Action:
•Press the screen to captures picture
•Holding the screen activates the burst mode for capturing multiple pictures.
•Dragging up and down zooms in and out.
•Swiping fingers from left to right brings camera settings, and from right to left takes to the Gallery.
•Another convenient gesture is twisting your wrist twice (quickly) while holding the camera in hand launches camera anytime. It’s a great feature for a smartphone with no dedicated camera button.
Features:
•Single shots
•Burst shots
•Video recording
•Front-facing camera toggle
•Swipe to open settings
•Swipe to open gallery
•Touch to focus toggle
•Flash mode toggle
•Shutter sound toggle
•Geo-tag toggle
The camera app can be installed as a normal APK file. Installing this camera app does not replace the stock camera of your device and having installed it, you’ll see two different shortcuts in your app drawer.

Good one, but what does the SLO mode do? It seems locked for me. I can't use it. Anyone has an Idea.?
Few others I've used
Have been using many camera apps currently. All have some or the other feature which I like. I use according to my purpose.
1. Camera Zoom FX: Using it for its Voice Activated feature and its Collage feature. Voice activated mode will click only when you make a noise or say click or cheeze etc. You can use it when you click your own pics or wanna have a group pic.
Use collage mode and click multiple pics and you'll get all of them in single pic. That's way quicker then click normal pics and then use collage.
It also has a stable indicator that indicates when the object or the phone is stable to click the pic.
2. Pro Capture: For providing many various Focus and Scene modes in one touch, especially the Macro mode and the Fibonacci Spiral is also one of the best feature it gives. The golden Spiral does make sense in pictures, I personally believe.
3. Fast Burst Camera: Name says it all. Soon I'm gonna check the Moto X for its continuous shots and if the result is better I might replace. But this app is quick good. It clicks like a machine gun. Some times even if I try to click it ones it quickly response to the second touch and takes another shot . Sorry that might be a negative point as well
4. Camera 2: This app is real fun if you like to take pictures and video like that of Old time (1940s, 1960s, etc), It has Sci-Fi mode similar to Green coloured Matrix like of stuff with number falling down in a line. Comic mode, Artistic mode. Best part of the app is that you cannot just click pictures but also take videos in those modes.
Well I used many others too but removed them for less or more their limited features.
I hope this might help you in any way. :good:

Hi,
Does anyone have any recommendations for an alternative camera app? Something that gives you more advanced controls and taking pics whilst recording video. I'm coming to the nexus from Samsung and even though the lock screen shortcut will launch the default app, having a more advanced one would be useful.
Thanks in advance

The apps A Better Camera I have used before and like the features it offers, good amount of fine tuning options. Another app worth taking a look at is Camera360 Ultimate different setup then A Better Camera but still plenty and some different features as well. Let me know if you still have questions.

I just got my N5X and installed A Better Camera on it, it does work, it takes photos, records videos, and you can take a photo while recording a video. One big problem though: everything (photos and videos) is recorded upside-down. The app has a setting allowing you to rotate the view manually (I guess to accommodate cameras that are installed in different orientations), but it doesn't work on the N5X apparently. I also got one force close while using it.

What about Camera FV-5? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro
It was discussed in another thread, but I recommend Open Camera. Has a lot more features than the stock Camera app, and it works fine with our reverse-landscape mounted sensors. If you enable the experimental Camera 2 API support, you can try out the EIS option for video recording. Works fairly well I think.
Hmm. Can we adjust the double power button to go to another app? Also on the default app can we shut the noise?

Hah downloading another app just makes the double press give you camera option. Sweet. Open camera is good but no hold to burst or pictures while video.

Use a different launcher, like Nova, and you can assign gestures and shortcuts to several actions on the phone. I use Nova and have the camera app set up to launch whenever I touch home when I'm on the home screen or double touching of home if I'm on any other screen.

Hey how long does the manual camera let you keep the shutter open for? What is the lowest the setting can go to?
On the Nexus 5 it was .8seconds. Really hoping for it let you keep it open for longer like the G4 does.

As I said upthread, A Better Camera lets you take photos while recording video. It records everything upside-down when used on the Nexus 5X though. Presumably that will be fixed in an update.

Hi,
So my question is if the pixel 3 cam will be ported to our phone the pixel 2 cam was ported pretty fast to the first generation, is it possible with the latest one too?
i reallyyyyyyyyy hope so. I am running a custom pie rom and it has the pixel 3 camera BUT no portrait mode unfortunately.
So somebody has started porting it already (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/) You can download the latest one, if you already have the normal google camera app installed you won't be able to update it, so you can use app cloner (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.applisto.appcloner) and create version with a different internal app name to install it separately. Portrait mode and photobooth are available, slow motion does not work

This one has functioning night sight, slow motion, and portrait mode (front and back), haven't found any weird glitches and don't have to do any "tricks" to get the app to work, like clone it or flip cameras back and forth to get it to take a picture.
Motion photos don't work though.
