Camera KK this looks like it was built with CameraNext and has had the best results from any camera app on Fire Phone I have used. Even with flash!
I attached some unaltered shots outdoors and indoors with lights on and off in my server room.
Free has ads and $1.99 to remove them. So try it and let me know any tips you might find.
Still has flash issue in low light. It's going to take more than an app in the store to resolve the issue.
Nice, good find, flash pic quality looks similar to the ones from Snap Camera... I found the post I was thinking about:

And now get that cable management in order! *shudders*
Just kidding... this should be posted in "General", since it's useful information about one of the biggest issues, Magnum_Enforcer to the rescue!
Do I have the power to move it?

No, but I do.
I tried reducing exposure -1 and that did a little but the flash normal was also pretty good. The pic from the op was in a completely dark room so have to see what low light looks like.

Oohhh very nice, that's a very solid result for basically "default settings"! Will download it and take on a "test drive" tomorrow.
Compared to the pics taken with the new Huawei Mate S, why are we even complaining... :laugh:
(...added the quote about the Snap Camera settings in my previous post, SC requires a little more work to yield good results...)
HDR freezes the app... sigh...
... and so will * every other app when using HDR. I don't need it, some people can't live without it (looking at you, russy23 ^^).
Camera KK is a solid alternative to Snap Camera or Camera MX, and easy to use because of the stock Android look & feel.
*almost
Camera Zoom FX
I tried taking HDR pics using Camera Zoom FX and it didn't crash.
I also found a good camera app that works great on the slimcat rom: cymera. Flash works and great filters are integrated. Couldnt find an option for HDR though...
Could someone try Simple Camera, it went free in the amazon app store today. Didn't know if maybe being from the Amz App Store might make a difference in getting a good flash... I'm back on Stock Fire OS right now so I can't try myself...
Thanks,

Thanks for mentioning (It's free in the US store, in Germany for example, they want 74 cents, hehe)
But sadly, being from the Amzn Store means nothing. A lot of "Devs" (more like "copy paste coder" ^^) publish their apps on multiple portals to make a little more $$$. This app is the exact same version as on Google Play Store.
It's based on OpenCamera, it even creates the "OpenCamera" subfolder in the "DCIM" folder. ^^ Default settings: flash pics are overexposed...
edit: Also tried "Cymera" on the weekend. It's, uhh, very "girly". For people who love filters & gramin' it's a feasible alternative, I'll stick with the "functional" ones, like Camera KK.
Can't you use the camera apk from Fire OS? Or does that require all the Amazon framework, kernel, our HAL stuff?

Correct, source code for the camera HAL is needed. Highly unlikely that it will be released by Amazon.
Oh wait, we're all getting bootloader unlock codes for Christmas when they put the developer version under our trees.
LOL Camera KK force closes on me. Cymera works though.

I bought Snap Camera, it has a good amount of options for people who want to customize their photo settings.
Quality is good, flash pics work too, you can correct the exposure if needed (other apps have this as well, ofc.)
Right now, I'm still using Camera KK (free version), because I just need a simple "shooter", just like the stock android app.
Anyone found a decent camera to take pictures when light is low without using flash? My pictures are always too dark even if I try to change light exposure...

Camera KK, exposure -1, is the best I got. Tried a bunch.
Better use this one port
Probably you all may try and find out how to get best shots
Remember to set HDR+ mote to enhanced

Ok, I've seen that stuff before. So this is still the same line of that port where we have to dig through menus in hopes of finding the magic combo to make HDR stuff work? I had zero luck with that in a previous version. And did you use the same download link?

I used the download at the bottom of the link I sent you. Seems to be the same port you mention but to be honest, I havent even played with it yet.
Yeah, I'm definitely going to need to find the original link to this from a reputable source. Just tried clicking into the link in the OP from work and the safeguard software that usually comes up yellow/gold for sites that are not allowed came up red. That's a first for me and enough for me to not download from that site.

I can tell you a side by side won't happen. That's the first time I've ever seen that severe of a warning pop-up for a site before so I won't be going there. I did load from the this link though and it looks like this still requires some set-up to get HDR working on it. It's dark out now so I won't know until later.
I tried the google camera. However, I find GP camera app sometimes adds more noise but does not over expose as much as LG camera. However, in some cases the LG is better...Guess it just depends on the situation. Here are some sames I took in auto mode using the same focus point (touched area to make sure they both focused on same object). of course the ones with the post it GP on them is the Google Camera app. These are in low light to very low light.
https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...?key=SVQ0dTNfY2dfSDBObEJKRE9nMEJCc2RkMG9EY3Fn
ya....i have the same opinions. V30 camera app at times produces better photos, where others Pixel 2 Camera does.
Pixel 2 ZERO SHUTTER LAG is no joke though, and i'm not sure if HDR+ is occuring as since if so the HDR+ is done within a split second with no status.
Is this better or the same as Google camera NX 7.1?

I'd been looking for a working recent version for awhile. The other ones I could find were either an older version, or the updated version with all the options, but didn't work. Thank you for this! Going to test in a bit. I know it won't be Pixel 2 quality, but if I could match S8/N8 quality, I'd be super happy.
ok...so last night i was doing a bit of testing with Arnova's 5.1.014_v8.1 (Android 7+): same as BSG's v.4.0, but based on the new GCamera 5.1.x, with settings set as listed below. I do have to say...image quality as well as color reproduction is better than with the V30's camera. the difference is slight, but noticeable when you zoom into hard to focus lock area's. color reproduction is also a touch better. one thing to note though was I did run into a few freeze or hick ups with GCMod 5.1. When I'd press the shutter button, it would grey the screen, or do nothing. Would have to press the shutter button 2-5 times sometimes but it eventually would take the photo. Not always but sometimes this would occur.

Settings:
Model: Pixel 2XL (or Nexus 6P if you want more detailed images)
Config camera HDR+: Nexus6 HDR+ Auto Zsl (or Nexus6 HDR+ Auto)
HDR+ parameters: Medium (or higher)
To enable the HDR+ UI button: Settings > Advanced > HDR+ control (img)
The rest (video resolution, camera sounds, etc) is up to you.
Warning: You need to restart the app so the new settings are applied.

Droid Life today says the V30 Oreo beta is available to a select group of users in Korea. Naturally they cite "speed improvements" and I'm sure the camera software is lumped into that.
http://social.lge.co.kr/newsroom/lg_v30_os_1102/
I'd have to guess that at some point "too soon" in the V30's Nougat development, the team was forced to say "that's good enough -- ship it" and move on to 8.0 (or 8.1 -- fingers crossed) development. No sense in wasting resources perfecting an already out-of-date OS..
It's unfortunate the timing works out the way it does -- surely this results in some of the critiques the phone has received, and those blemishes can't be easily undone, even if they release a *flawless* Oreo in the next couple of months with a fully optimized camera experience.
As usual, simply having this app installed on my device causes a battery drain. Oh well. It works rather well though.

Hello, lads.
This is my very first post, so go easy on me.
I've bought, yesterday, a Mi A2 Lite and since then I am looking for some stuff to make me feel more comfortable with it. The Stock ROM is beyond acceptable, and having easy root with Magisk is amazing.
But the camera really bothers me, the stock app is boring and lacks features.
So then, I've start my adventure, looking for anything promising, I found a good Google Camera (6.1/5.1) mod, etc, today I found csabiii's thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/themes/mi-a2-camera-magisk-module-32sec-long-t3844208) about the Stock Mi A2 Camera, and its amazing features, such as Group Selfies, Multiple HDR modes, etc., but what caught my attention was the "32s Long Exposure", I tried it but it's outdated (Sep. 2018), probably for the early Oreo build, so I started to look for Pie versions but no luck.
I've seen something on Magisk's Repo that could function (MIUICamera v2 for whyred), but after softbricking my phone with Mi A2 Stock v4.5 module, I've given up.
So I came here, to ask you guys if anyone know about a functioning Mi A2 Stock Camera w/ Long Exposure, or a substitute that might do the job.
TL;DR: Any Mi Stock Camera that could/does work with Pie and has its Long Exposure. If not, could be just a normal Play Store app (paid or free), doesn't even has to be 32s exposure, 15 sec might do it.
Thanks in advance.
PS: Does anyone know if those ZommFix 3.1 zip change anything for Mi A2 Lite?

Major difference if you know how to set up everything properly. Open Camera only "lacks" that fake bokeh effect.

I've tested it, many features indeed, I'll try to config it for better results. But I'm still looking for something "better".
About the Long Exposure, I've tried the Camera FV-5, but it kinda looks rubbish. Argh! Frustrating, tbqh.

Open Camera is as good as it can get with this device, it doesn't have great sensors to begin with.
I would suggest trying freedcam(after looking for many hours)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=troop.com.freedcam
it has a lot of options
Hi guys, in your experience do you recommend any custom Gcam or you think stock's works just fine?
I use this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...-camera-mod-pixel-3-3xl-t3909624/post79091513
It captures more details (and the picture files are much bigger).
Only issue I have is it force closes if I shake the phone too much.
You can ignore the camera driver mod if you want and just use the modified gcam app if you want.

The app I linked is basically the same as stock but it gives the option to use up to 36 shots for a better HDR and sharpner shot (I think stock uses 24)
The processing takes like a second with our Snapdragon 845 which can seem much and that's probably why Google went on a little less shots in the Pixel 3XL stock app.
This app can be useful if you want to crop the pictures as it has a bit much details.
Also if you want to fine tune your shot in Snapseed it has more information to play with.

The overall effect makes the picture softer, great for some landscape or portrait shots. You end up losing some of the fine detail such as fabric surface, brush strokes on a painting, etc. I'll be using your settings for some outdoor shots, thanks!
