Anyone here got a working Android 4.2 Camera that uses 5 Mega pixels instead of 3?
I've tried lots of mods out there but it doesn't seem to work.
Besides, I wonder why it only is able to use up to 3MP and not 5MP unlike other phones?

I second that. The difference comes in when you're viewing it on the computer.
Hence, I was wondering if I could retain the 5MP on the 4.2 Camera because it's blazing fast.

Good for you. I don't have one though. I wouldn't say I depend on my camera a lot, but should there be any events, I'll depend on my phone's camera. Too bad that the new camera only takes up to 3MP. I was hoping if someone would fix it. It can easily replace the previous CM10 camera
in any custom rom.

The camera will be able to take 5mp shot when:
a. someone mods it
b. roms with android 4.2 starts coming for our device.

Agreed. Since I've no experience in coding and modding, I can only come here to seek help from more professional people.
I wonder if 1ceb0x will give it a go? Since it's available in paranoid android rom, naturally it's good to get it fix and share it with the community.

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:

Snap Camera:
• Exposure compensation to -2 ev
• ISO manually set to 1600

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...

The LOS camera, i.e. Snapdragon camera, is great, probably better than Sony stock camera.
Alternately, you can try OpenCamera, very good too.

I've no such problems with LOS camera on my Z5.
To force external-sd saving, you can use the magisk module Magic Folder Binder

thanks a lot for your reply!
can LOS14.1 cope with other camera ports? is it worth trying to make camera quality better using port?
you are talking just about camera apps. i'm sorry if something is wrong from me, but i dont know much about it.
and one more sorry for my english..)

There are several HTC camera ports available on XDA, you can try them (anyway always backup first...)
Do note I have an Xperia Z5 so results may vary for you, but I've found best results using the ProShot app, it's worked amazingly on several different phones I've tested so I'd imagine it would work well on a Z1 as well. Definitely worth looking into.

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.

ok let me start custom roms blow stock out of the water but the only thing that made me go back to stock was the camera app , in my opinion gcam struggles to focus I do consider myself a a photography pro , that being said , i love the performance of the customs roms overstock , hands down, but the default camera is the deal breaker in my opinion, g-cam struggles to focus , especially in macro mode , I do hope some one port the ANX camera to a custom rom ... just my 2 cents and I tried them all Gcam / configs so save your breath...
I agree, the stock cam is just better, more convenient and faster imo. Luckily for me I dont care much about photos.
Sorry I got that wrong.

It's true, thanks to a user of this forum that I don't remember the name I was able to use the Gcam for normal and night photos but the macros are still a problem.
Another thing that is making me think about going back to Stock ROM is that there is no support and continuity of updates.
I really love the stock camera too. But for Macros or really close photos it can't focus could you give me a tip, to improve it.
Does any custom rom support the stock camera app?

Hi,
right after taking the picture the app closes, the picture is saved but every time I have to reopen the app. If I take a photo in night mode the app closes and the photo is not saved.
I also have Gcam installed can there be a conflict?
