Hi all,
I have just upgraded my HTC one M8 to lollipop and it is great. I was hoping though that there would be support this time for the sense camera... I would really love the extra features it brings, especially the slow motion video.
I would definitely settle for another app with the same functionality...? Are there any others around that can utilize the hardware on the M8 to do 720p 120fps video...?
Thanks!

The Sense camera is being added to this GPE rom here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716306&page=754
Thats a negative, I'm running that ROM and have the sense camera when u try to record in slow motion and HDR it switches to normal recording and the sense gallery doesn't work u have to use quickpic, gpe camera uses a different pictures folder then sense does, but everything else works great! Oh and the skydragon ROM 5.0.1 is awesome!
Hello,
Deep in my mind I still remember how my Xperia S was amazing with taking pictures on stock rom.
Than i got kk, and now 5.1 nAOSP from mickybart.
So i wonder is there any port of camera that brings back the vivid and sharp photos?
The nAOSP camera is "ok" but it lacks options, no hdr etc. and it have sooo much problems with focus.
So i thought that someone may know how to improve it.
I srearched over crossdevices xperia thread but not much I foung for android 5.0+ there ;/.
Any help ??
My Xperia is still in the drawer [emoji15] . Well I used Lenovo'S Super Camera (can't remember full name) but it is ported on XDA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706891&page=1
This port is for Android 4.x and above. I think I stopped using it due to the startup time [emoji20]
Try the Google Camera from the play store if you'd like the android stock look [emoji1]
For android 5.x I'd recommend the HTC port. I haven't tested it on the xps but works great on s5 and works on all Android 5 builds as it doesn't use the new camera2 api
https://goo.gl/Zi0uKQ
I've extracted it from my device - install camera first and then if it fails then install service pack then camera then gallery. The files only work for ANDROID 5.
My personal experience is with the Lenovo Camera and it is far better than AOSP stock. I've never tried HTC on the XPS but it is hundred times better than the Stock Camera on my S5 due to the manual exposure settings and quick snaps. Some modes like panorama and bokeh don't work they require the HTC Camera chip (omnivision device)
Is there a way to have the stock camera on nAOSP ? It would be perfect !!!
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

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.
Is it safe to assume that the google camera on stock based roms is better than the miui 9 default camera?
Im saying this because I just got the Honor View 10 and will be doing some camera comparisons and dont really want to go back to miui rom.

Imo yes, Gcam is better. Especially front camera.
In my Mi6, the stock camera was better than Gcam

Which ROM?
miui9 with Camera2 enable way too much noise
Official Aicp 12.1, Google Camera can't focus, in the end i'm using bacon camera
Unofficial LOS 15.1 Too much noise again
The best picture i could get with my Mi6 was with the stock rom and default camera

I'm surprised.
Google camera on any ROM I've used has been consistently better than any other set up.
I don't even use HDR+ because of the autofocus issues.
Just normal photos.
Always better than stock camera and others even when using HDR+ with those.
Video is another area though. Only MIUI camera produces consistent video quality.
Gcam just lags and crashes.
Bacon camera was decent enough as an alternative for video.
Currently on AOSPA I have gcam for normal photos and MIUI camera for video and special photos
I was really eager to use Gcam, the phone i had before the Mi6 was a J5 Prime.. So no Gcam either. Everyone said it was an awesome camera, so i waited 72 hours, unlocked bootloader, twrp and then enable camera2.. I tried a few gcam mods and in my Mi6 none of them where superior to the default camera that came with miui9.
Hi,
With the all Oreo roms out there for our zuk z2, developers had tried very hard to bring camera2 API to our device.
Though still we are missing those incredible night shots from stock with long exposure upto 32 sec.
All Oreo roms supports exposure time upto 1/2 seconds only.
This is a request to all developers please add support for long exposure time in manual camera.
Some developers had achieved this through modifying camera libs of their device.
Hope some one will look into this.
I know this is not easy and might not significantly important to all but this is humble request to all developers.
Thanks.

Same here.
Tried almost all camera mods but none of them worked.
It may be hal3 issue or some libs need to be modified.
The redmi note 4 have a mod for change camera libs to take 32s exposure.
Maybe for Zuk needs makes that change too.

Exactly !!
I think very few people are interested in this or didn't aware about the power of manual camera controls !!
If more and more people requests then may be some developer will try to do the same.
Seriously, a good range of shutter speed is needed in manual camera. In oreo roms other than zui, i get a max of 1s exposure time in Lightroom's camera. Nothing good. Zui stock camera had 32s exposure time that was impressive. Rom developers are throwing at us several features but this part is always overlooked.
Also, in case of video recording, I cannot get 60fps or truly 120 fps slo-mo working in oreo custom roms. And recording is also much darker, i mean it is useless to record video anymore. These things need to be taken care of, rather than some cutting edge features, devs should fix these first (if it's possible)
Hi any developer here ??
Please consider this
Hey,
Is it possible to introduce both camera API 1&2 and so hal1 and hal3 like OnePlus users did ??
If we do this then we can use long exposure and Google cam by just switching hals.
Take a look at this-
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/7cz7t5/oneplus_roms_camera_situation/
You can do one thing, flash a oreo rom and dual boot zui for long expo shots

I tried to search that too but some users reported that dual boot doesn't work with Oreo roms.
And also it would not be feasible to boot both major os.
If anyone is here who has some skills then please try to implement old camera API & hal.
Anyone?
I hope the Dev's consider this.. @optimumpro @amog787 @rodrigo rodriguez @AgustinLorenzo @davidevinavil ..
