Is it possible to update htc 10 camera app to a newer version (it currently is 8.6 something on oreo stock ) . As far as I know there is a 9.* version. Is there a way to use a newer version of htc camera that better utilizes the sensor or the best way is to find a good enough google camera app ( since many are buggy )

Yes. Install one of the UpDates from HTC Camera.
Ehm did not really work. Get an error app not installed during installation.

My humblest apologies for being so late on this -but- you can try these two apps from Google Play:
Camera FV-5 Lite and
Cinema FV-5 Lite
There are also Pro versions which will cost you some dollars.
They have lots of settings. The HTC camera did both the stills and videos but these are two separate apps.
Take care,

How would that be possible without the sense framework ?
Los no sense = no sense framework layer.
If it would be possible it would have been done years ago .....
This actually installs on crdroid N.
Can't say for O, P, Q
But gcam takes far better shots.

Sense Framework is just a set of native libs + APKs.
When you need to port an app using them, you just have to "bake" them into your app's APK. So instead of using system-wide installed stuff, a ported app would use the ones from its own APK.
The only major two issues are poorer compatibility of such app across Android SDK versions and larger APK size compared to the original APK targetted a system with pre-installed Sense.
Actually, HTC has published a set of its Sense apps available for any device already.
And fortunately, HTC Camera works on LOS 16

Thank you the link, I didn't know about this port.
What do you mean by "gcam takes far better shots"? If you're talking about image quality it depends solely on camera's hardware quality (which obviously is the same in both cases) + a set of settings a camera app sends to the hardware for taking an image.
How a generic gcam written to work with any cameras from horrible ones to best-of-breed (thus having multitude of compromises in its source code) could send better settings to the HTC OEM hardware compared to a HTC's own native Camera app on HTC device?

You know, you could Google for an explanation instead of going after @andybones, the person that tried to help you out with a great suggestion.
If you take a little time you'll see that the gcam ports are omnipresent, every single device subforum has a request or a thread for one. To answer your question, it's been known for a while now that the hardware isn't the only, or even main determining factor for image quality in smartphones, and Google showed that better then anyone with the Pixel lineup. Those devices have inferior camera hardware, but shoot the absolute best pics. And it's all down to the software processing that the camera app has, which still works with the ports, even with the shortcuts and loss of features that are expected.
Go ahead and give it a try, I actually came back to this forum looking for the port so I can install it on my mom's HTC 10 since the stock camera is pretty underwhelming

Also, next time when somebody would ask me about a 'camera app X port' in a topic dedicated to that canera X app, I'd answer 'Dude, camera app Y is the best, But don't ask me why. Use Google to prove my own opinion'.
Thank you fir this lesson, too! Is this also a rule in your XDA rule set?
Nothing was accomplished . Please delete.
That's fair enough.
I just attempted to get your objective arguments on your subjective statement.
Because 'X is better than Y' without objective arguments is a subjective statement. If you're not gonna provide them here, that's fine. Nobody is hurt
I think we've perfectly understood each other So following your great example - I'm not gonna continue the 'gcam is better than X' discussion anymore. Thank you for your advice and have a great evening!

Hey all,
I know this has probably been asked hundreds of times but...
I want to know what rom everyone is using that is non-ICS?
There are so many out there and I'm sure there are a few that aren't worth downloading.
Soo what rom does everyone recommend that is non-ICS.

Why would you say that? I'm sure the devs that put a ton of time and effort into cooking and posting the ROMs would love to hear that they "aren't worth downloading".
People have different needs and preferences, that's really the main difference. I've tried many different ROMs, and they are each awesome in different ways. Its unfair (and insulting) to say that a ROM is "not worth downloading".
This question gets asked a few times a week. Its not worth it being answered yet again. You've been an XDA member long enough to know to use the search function.

I feel like I'm swinging the stick every time I hit that search button.
OP - Please, please, please use that search button.
Back to the matter at hand. I've always enjoyed CM7 for my stock fix. Mexdroid AIO (didn't really care for the new version) when I wanted something different. And finally I tried RevHD which was great for a Sense ROM.
I've been using ICS since T4z did his first port and haven't really looked back. Only thing I've been missing is the camera, and its not as big a deal.
quatro has working camera, or did I lost my mind .. ?
anyways, I asked the same thing a week ago, and I actually tried all of the "known", or should I say - popular roms, and this is my conclusion:
1. G-lite or G-slim. AOSP android expericence for speed. not so much good with OC which is a paradox by me, and people do not reccomend the OC (let's increase default speed, but do not temper with max speed, eh .. ? ) those are good "strpped" ROMS for freeing CPU&RAM. I dd not try the strpped CM7 verson as I dont like CM or MIUI (I prefer Andrody look more)
2. Virtuous Sense - for Sense experience. fully working ROM strpped of cr*p and fine tunned.
those are my favorites, but let's say that this is ALWAYS individual opinion, as I have read many people not liking these roms, and I tred 10 in one evening, giving every rom half an hour chance and I liked those 2 (3)

I didn't really mean it in that way, I understand that the devs have done a great job and their work shouldn't get slated, but what I should have put is 'older' and I'm looking for something that is recent but not ICS (as I want the camera working now and also annoyed at the odd bug and gfx glitches)
Sorry for that, I also have searched but as above I want something recent, and there are so many I don't have the time to download them all.

Yeah I know it's down to personal preference, just wondered what are the top roms that are 'good'
I'll check out those roms though, thanks.
I would highly recommend Virtuous G-lite or G2 slim, they are the simplest, most battery efficient ROMs for our phones but at the same time they're very fast. I've used every ROM for our devices except for a few Sense 3.* ones and the two i've recommended are the ones that i would still recommend each and every time that someone asks the question that you posed.
I am actually waiting for future development of ICS based ROM, cause Quattro is awesome (being the most stable ICS), and I tried it, but it has lots of bugs and crashes even like that. just the Dialer crashed 2 times for 1/2 hour testing, and there are some graphic screwups.
Virtuous is in hiatus, or we are in for a surprise, I guess. RC3 Quattro still isn't for everyday usage.

Still completely missing the point. If you ask what ROMs are good, that implies the remaining are "not good" or "bad".
They are all good. Just for different reasons.
Better to ask for personal favorites. Or better yet just browse through the already bazillion other threads on the same topic. Many of which are very recent, so you need not worry about the recommendations being outdated.
Andromadus audacity, any virtuous rom, or cm if you like cm. They are all good. Pick your poison try a few out.

Hi Everyone,
I’m new to XDA, so I thought I’d try to make my first post as helpful as I can (I love the noob video on the registration page by the way! )
Anyway…
I was recently taking part in an online discussion with some Android beginners, and a really big topic for them was the new camera app in Sense 4.0 / upcoming HTC One series. Due to the varying knowledge levels of the people and the difficulty of typing out so many replies, I offered to create a video to (attempt to) address many of their questions.
So, with the aid of the S4X ROM from the Virtuous team, I put together a 24 minute video that goes through the included pre-release version of the camera app in Sense 4.0 from start to finish.
Please note that I was asked to go through each and every one of the menu options, while also having to add a walkthrough of the updated panorama feature and include explanations of stuff like ISO etc. For that reason, some of you may find that the video drags on a bit (oh, and I’m no Spielberg either ).
Still, if it helps a small handful of people, it was worth the effort.

Cheers,
Bugsy.

I posted a link to your vid in the sample images thread as they are discussing the topic of interface videos there at the moment. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543802
Hmm, there was something in your video that got me thinking.
You pointed out that an f2.0 camera lens allows twice as much light into the camera than an f2.8 lens would (so 100% more light).
This reminded me that HTC stated that the One X lets in 44% more light than the previous model. Does anyone know which previous model HTC were refering to? I'm guessing it's not the Sensation, because I doubt that has an f2.3 (ish?) lens
Sensation is f2.4, One X is f2.0

In relation to an F2.8 lens, 44% more light does equate to F2.4. Having said that, I can't say that I've ever seen any documentation where HTC have stated that the Sensation has an F2.4 lens. Images don't appear to contain this info embedded in their EXIF data either.
@EddyOS Would you mind telling me how you found this info?

EDIT: This guy just made my day!! I just made a 47kbit video with this mod to stock camera.
NOW we can close this thread if mods so desire =) Thank you everyone!
So the bitrate on HTC One X's camera is hilariously low.
Videos that it spits out terrible when compared to SGSII which I gave to my wife. Video is just strobbing and wobbling due to it.
I understand that some people have very low quality standards and are satisfied with it, and there were some threads about it here.. but everything kinda died out.
I think hardware is capable of "normal" bitrate, since some market camera apps allow for it.. But can we make a hack to our camera to allow for high bitrates?
I mean, I love the phone.. but what's the point of 1080p video capability if it spits out 10k bitrate? None.

Maybe that should tell you something. Do you think starting a new thread when others are open is going to change anything? It's been acknowledged and is for now a fact of life. What are you expecting to happen? More ranting? A petition perhaps? For those that are desperately miserable with all or parts of the One X, why don't you sell it and get an SGS3? Repetitive ranting here isn't going to change anything no matter how many threads are opened.
Duplicate threads, especially those that are stated as duplicate threads, get closed.
I agree, 720p goes ok, but 1080p stutters a lil bit.. the bitrate should be higher..
tried it with some other apps, like lgCamcorder.. you can select the bitrate and you'll get smoother video (20mbps is enough)
---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------
maybe HTC will eventually bring out an update, wich increases the bitrate of the camera app (hope so)

Look at you all puffing and pissed off, lol. Angry little creature.
I opened this thread because it's a legitimate question about why aren't those threads getting an attention they deserve. Perhaps people are satisfied with choppy wobbly video that One X produces, perhaps a solution has been found that I'm not aware of. Hence, the thread.
And a related question - What are you expecting to happen by yelling at me for opening this thread? More ranting? For you, desperately miserable and super angry about this thread, why don't you see a shrink - perhaps they can fix you up.
Now unless you got something relevant to contribute to the problem at hand, go rant somewhere else.

I remember seeing someone who developed a higher bitrate camera for Sensation trying to make one for HOX.. but not sure what happened there - did he lose interest?
It just surprises me that this isn't discussed much more.
Search for the sense HQcamera mod - when i was running sense i got 29fps at 11-12,000kbps and uncompressed/4-5mb pics BIG difference compared to stock camera. CM9 - im getting 18-19,000kbps with 22fps indoors, will test outdoors later.
It's been talked about A LOT, especially by me in this thread.

Yes, I remember that one. Unfortunately, development of it for HOX was stopped, and existing beta mod freeezes up and FCs a lot. I just tried latest 1.3beta for Sense4 - that is indeed the case.
I contacted that developer with a PM, asking him what does he need to fully port that mod for HOX, with 25+mbits for 1080p. If he needs a financial incentive to compensate for his time and effort, I'll get a bounty going here.
So far, only Camera ICS works decently well, without crashing.
LGCamera is on and off kind of thing. About half the time it doesn't record anything - just black video feed.

one thing to open a new thread to "talk about the problem" over and over, another with the purpose of actually solving / improving the issue.
imho i'm tired of discussing the "problem", it has been discussed already to death, that's why the search function is for.
as far as the "solution" goes, there's couple of threads/developments around which (WOW) are linked in the respective "problem" threads....
@OP: there's other alternatives to LgCamera that work well...care to search for them?

And your ranting adds what to the thread?
LGCamera doesn't work very well with HOX. Many times it can't get the feed from camera and won't work until reboot.
Camera ICS is a bad alternative as it's ugly, has adds and has resolution problems.
HDCamera mod doesn't work with HOX.
I did read those threads, that's why I opened this one.
Now, can we stop acting like a new thread costs millions of dollars and move on with the discussion? If you don't want to participate - don't participate. If all you want to do is complain - please avoid this thread kkthnx.

close your eyes when taking a photo so you don't have to see the CameraICS interface...add 1.99$ to the mix and get rid of the ads. there are no resolution problems.
nothing new that hasn't been said before.....

I've never mentioned it before, but all those apps at least used to have dodgy aspect ratios when recording video, couldnt find any option to work around it.
Just looked now actually, most recent version of camera ics has fixed that...

It still does =(
Just bought a paid version of Camera ICS - tested it out - stretched videos. Had to get a refund immediately.
So Camera ICS isn't a viable option, so is LGCamera that can't even connect to the camera about 80% of the time (tested on several ROMs).
Back at square one =(
45kbit+ video mod for stock camera!!! Seems to be working fine so far. Now I'm happy =)
Seems to be recording at 24fps only. Not smooth enough for me /:

there was a mod for 29FPS out there, wasn't it?
but bitrate still @ 10-12mbps
pick your poison, will take a genius to combine FPS and bitrate in one mod
Hello
I have bought Z5 premium, coming from Samsung s6 edge plus.
I would like to have some help ith the camera because really I can't understand well....The phone has a 23Mpx sensor for sony, but I've read in a lot of places that for real the sensor is 8mpx...
Now I want to understand how to shot the picture....how can I have the best results? Shoting in 8mpx or in 23? At the moment I'm not so happy about pictures, with S6 the pictures were better so I need to understand how to have better results....
Or it's better to use another app from the market?
Thank you so much if you can help me
I think the Samsung 6 has a better camera.

You're not helping yourself either.
I'm just telling you, I don't think you will get as good results as the galaxy s6.
I don't understand how anyone will answer your question. You will have to just see which shot are best in superior auto (max 8mp) and manual (up to 23mp) depending on the type of shot you are trying to take.

I can see both are awful....but in manual it use really 23mpx?
Do you think that Nexus 6P has a better camera?

Yes but you need to go into settings/ resolution and change it to 23 (4:3)

Agree with what's being said by others... No need to spam every section of the forum with the same post...
In response to your question I'd say go to a phone shop an try the phones out for yourself unless someone in here has all the phones you're asking about and can give u a proper comparison.
I can tell for sure sg note 4 camera is better compared with z5p. With n4 camera you can burst shoot like mad, it is sharp, much more fast focusing, lighter.. where z5p is like a turtle. Also the post processing on z5p is too aggressive (which is probably the reason for this high dxo rating). In general sg n4,n5,s6,s6p,s6pe cam is much more better as a daily driver. But If you are dslr guru (and especially Nikon lover) u'll like more the z5p sensor.

I'm not spamming I've just asked a question and not yet received a response....
Is the sony sensor really 23mpx? because it seems to me to be only 8.
Any suggestion about an app that can use all the 23 mpx if they are real?
It's impossible to go in a shop and make a comparison of the pictures...you must see the pics on a pc, to understand how good they are..

You won't get the full 23mpx in any other app than the stock Sony one.
It looks like Sony have locked the full sensor use to their own software or their is something these that the app developers haven't added to their apps.
And it is spamming when to u put the same post in multiple threads. One post, one thread is usually the correct way of asking a question on xda.
It is a real 23 mpx sensor. Just Sony use different api and all camera apps can't use the sensor as 23mpx.. (Do not ask me why, as usual noone knows)
But this one somehow can use the full power of the sensor at 23mpx

Hi guys , as lot of us I want a Pixel Rom with the Pixel Experience and most of all the Pixel Camera (So we can really use our camera sensor )
I have been in talks we some Developers of Pixel Roms and ask them if they would be interested in trying to make a Pixel Rom for our Mi5s and 4 of them answered me with a positive answer.
I'm creating this thread because for them to try to build the Rom we would need to join forces and Donate enought money so we could purchase them a Mi5s.
So if you are interested in a Pixel Rom and don't mind giving up a Buck for the cause just let me know in the Pool to see if this would be possible.
So I created a CrowdFunding campaing to see if we can reach the goal , I set the goal to 460$ to see if we could get two Mi5s to the two Dev's who are most interested.
If you want this to happen just donate 1$ it's a Beer and it would help alot!

Lads , after the dev reach His potential, what Is he going to do with the device? Kept or send it to another one? I have questions about that
So have you actually found a developer who ported camera software from pixel/nexus phones before ? (I suppose camera is the main goal for us, no doubt pixel is doing this job much better having same hardware). The camera app itself doesn't affect picture quality that much, it is rather result of usage of underlying algorithms. Porting rom (or doing it feel it like pixel has from the box using lineage or another existing rom) won't be a big problem for a specialist, but all underlying software may not be so easily accessible, because it uses google developments that they likely don't want to expose. I'm not a rom developer so just want to clarify things (maybe they already released all required drivers in open source and it is only problem of testing it on a real device )

Hi there , I think the point would be for him to stay with the device and we would only consider that of sending to another one if the choosen Dev won't be able to do anything per say.

What I did was asking some Developers from the Pixel section if they would be interested in making a Pixel Rom for the Xiaomi Mi5s and if they would be able to try to Port the Camera Firmware or Algorithms from the Pixel to the Xiaomi Mi5s.
Of course they can't know for sure if they are going to be able to do it but they said they would love to try , and that's the best answer we can get from anyone to be honest.
We have broken closed source libs lolololo. The camera is the toughest part of all. Totally.

If there is progress in this direction, then certainly is good news.
I think the only possible problem for this is that Google locked their prop libs to work only on Pixel. But I doubt it!!
I have disassembled the Google camera application and it checks the phone if it is Pixel or not.
If the libs were locked down I think it would mean an unnecessary double check.
I am a software developer myself and I am considering porting this to our device, however, I have no experience with android so far so it will take a bit of time.

I would like to help, but like you I'm a software developer and I don't know if I can help with my knowledge. But it's cool to see peoples interested to the improvement of this camera.
When and where do we donate money?
And I would like to see comments from the developer

Nexus Experience rom is very similar to pixel. http://www.nxrom.us/mi5splus.html I can't tell a difference from it vs the pixel rom on my 5x other than some LOS features included.
Google photo thinks it's a pixel (unlimited storage)
Flashing the google camera - https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-ported takes care of the camera part, although I use a separate app for video recording since its video recording is buggy and FCs
