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.
Has anyone here used Zoom FX as a replacement for the awesome stock Sense camera? I really want to install PAC-Man Rom because of all the cool features but I LOVE the stock HTC camera app. I take a lot of pictures and one of the features I love about the stock camera is that you can extract still images from video. Plus it seems like the stock app would be best able to take advantage of the One's ultrapixel camera. I'm really torn between staying stock and keeping the camera and installing a custom rom and having the advantages that come with that.

I have this app. It is feature rich. I don't know if you can extract a still with it, I looked within the app and googled it, can't find anything.

I've been using CameraZoomFX since day 1 and it's a perfect fit for the One's camera. I set volume up as the shutter, made sure it's taking pictures as Wide 4.1MP (native), and use Stable Shot. Sometimes the "auto" white-balance isn't the best, but that (and tons of other options) are easily adjustable
Ok... Thanks guys! I think I'm going to go for it and install PAC & buy ZoomFX. I guess I can always restore to my current configuration if I hate it and waste $3 at the very worst.
Has anyone try the google camera app on the zenfone 2 ? I've heard pictures might be better
It depends. If you're on CM13, it's better because the Marshmallow version of Google Camera's pretty good, but on the other hand the Marshmallow version of Google Camera is broken with video so it kind of varies. If you're still on stock ROM, then I would recommend Camera FV-5. It's a pretty nice camera.
It depends really. You see the Google Camera that you can download from the PlayStore installs a different version of the app for every version of android that you're running, it also gives certain features that only Nexus phones can utilize. So if you're running stock ZenUI running Lollipop, then i can't say for sure of the quality improves a lot, but if you're running on a custom ROM, then i think it does have a difference. Personally, i'm running ReusrrectionRemix and the image quality is just great.
Hi, I was lurking for a new camera app on xda to make up for the Huawei Camera software which provides a superb quality when taking photos, and I ended up encountering the Snapdragon Camera 2.2 for the Alcatel Idol 3.3.
Acording to the dev the camera apk should work on every ROM based on CM.
Since I'm on CM14.1 I gave it a shot and surprisingly it successfully installed and its working quite well.
The thing is, I can't decide which one is better, Snap Camera or Snapdragon Camera.
I was hoping if you guys could help me
(the first one I used stock snap camera which comes with CM14.1 and the second one I used Snapdragon Camera)
Note - the xda app might compress the photos a little bit, so expect some low quality between them.
Edit - link for the snapdragon camera : https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/themes-apps/app-snapdragon-camera-v2-2-marshallow-t3402224
Here are some photos :
cool. maybe there's a way to extract he camera apk feom EMUI? its a really good app. and as a bit of advice, some links to the threads for snapdragon camera would be great . i'll test them too. the 2nd pic looks better imo, so i think snapdragon camera is better than the stock cm one. i'm using google camera (preinstalled with stock gapps) and i'll do some photos too when i get home
edit: the snapdragon camera is a bit better. not by much. the google camera app has a pinkish tint and is brighter, whilst the snapdragon camera has more natural colours but it is less bright, as seen in the OP.

It is possible to port the apk to CM or whatever ROM you're using, but without the drivers from huawei we can't get the maximum performance from the camera.
I also think that Snapdragon Camera looks a bit better, but Snap camera for me I think it's better to use on dark environments haha.
Edited the post with the link for the snapdragon camera.
Thanks.
I don't have any kind of experience regarding Android extraction of any kind, but if we took libs and camera apk and all the dependencies for it, make it a flashable zip with correct permissions straight to /system, would it work?
It's too bad that we have Nougat running great with mostly no issues (location via wifi is not working, but activating GPS will locate you in 2 seconds, some users also have the echo call bug), and the camera is not optimised properly. I'm pretty sure on stock ROM all other camera apps gave more or less the same performance as the stock one, so i doubt there is a lot to do with the app itself, more with the drivers and libraries (as you have pointed out).
Huawei stock cam app i think its pretty well
it would be great if it could be ported
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.

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.
