Better Camera

So what makes a camera stutter? After trying out the ported OnePlus camera and noticing how smooth it looked, I now hate the stock camera. However, the camera doesn't work correctly with nougat (it takes pictures and when I look at them in the gallery, they're rotated 90° counter clockwise). So what's a camera app that works almost perfectly and also provides fluidity with that such as in the OnePlus camera?

There is a workaround for the OnePlus camera if it takes photos rotated, Simply select HDR from the 3dot menu in bottom right and then deselect, your photos will be fine. Even if you do not deselect HDR it will be fine but I recommend deselecting it because HDR doesn't show much difference to me and there is processing after the pic so it takes more time. If you want to try other camera apps, I made a thread on it some time ago https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k10/themes/root-stock-camera-apps-ported-devices-t3573485. The app you should try is Google camera but the one in the thread is for marshmallow and as you said you have nougat, there is a never version for nougat. Look for it in apk mirror or request me if you cant, I'll look for you.

I have the Google camera, but on my device it's a bit Jarry and sluggish.... I tried the HDR fix, and it didn't work. It may be due to your port being for marshmallow, and I'm on nougat with different hardware..... Thank you for your response though!

20MP (IMX 376K) how to access in normal conditions?

Hello,
I want to take pictures in jpg +dng with the IMX 376K sensor. Are there some third party apps, that have access to the IMX 376K ?
And what is with FreeDcam? Any plans to integrate this?
Thanks

FYI 20MP is scaled up number. You won't get good quality like primary 16MP lens. So not much use of the secondary lens however they should give option to switch lens in pro mode.

Hi
For tests you can dial *#*#1597#*#* which should open the camera app in test mode.
Then you can switch sensors with the camera switch button on the left side.
Cheers, Axel

The [wide] one is the main camera, and the [telephoto] one is secondary.

I see this also works on the new OP 6+ (Plus) model for 2018. But I can't switch to 20 mp sensor with volume buttons - However, I can still use telephoto/normal (1X/2X) using the camera app. Isn't that strange?

Google Camera HDR+ and Portrait mode (no root) for Emui 8

Thanks to user p8srbija on YouTube.
Tested and works.
drive.google.com/drive/u/0/mobile/folders/0B7oAweIKkrytSXdJYkQ2NUtxS28
P.D.: I can't attach files and post links

Can others confirm this works? Are there any comparison photos from stock to this? Does Portrait mode work?

Seems to work on the P20.
Will test it further.
Tks

Nice!
The Arnova's One Plus 3 version, works too but it's unstable

HDR doesn't seem to be working

HDR does not work on my P20 Lite. The whole point of that camera software is HDR or HDR+ - fantastic noise reduction. Can someone make this port happen? Thank you.

Does not work at all. P20 Pro.

Despite if. It works or not, is it worth it?
I mean, is it better than P20 stock one?

This one works for me:
MGC_6.1.009_MI8_V1a.apk
I can't post the url but you should be able to easyly google it.
1. Install the app and give all permissions.
2. Go to settings, "BSG MOD" --> Input Model --> Pixel 3XL for Rear & Front
3. BSG MOD --> Saturation --> Highlight Sat to 2.5 and Shadow Sat to 3 for both back and front camera.
4. Go to settings --> advanced --> turn On all the switches except HEVC/H.265 one.
5. Restart the app

Google camera for Samsung Galaxy A50

Hi,
Does anyone know a version of Google Camera working for Samsung Galaxy A50 (Exynos 9610 Octa core) 2019 android 9.0?
Thanks.

Camera2API Spport
This device currently dont have camera2API support. When checked using Camera2API probe app, the highest support available is "Limited".
There is no use of GCam as of now.

Anyone got any gcam working on a50???

There is GCAM for A50
Here is the link.Try this.
f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666_IDan_N6_4.1_fix.apk
Portrait is not working currently, don't know if any settings in developer mode make that work.

camera worst quality so please help me for good app or Google camera .. photo size not more than 3.5mb

To address your issue, I'm going to suggest you to change the aspect ratio. It's currently 9:16, right? So, you have multiple ratios available to choose from. So, the ratio that has the most pixels is the "3:4H". This is the highest you can get on your A50. Now you get crispier photos with larger photo size. Hope it helps! :laugh:

Install recent update and change camera settings.

Install recent update provided by samsung and change camera settings (set aspect ration to 3:4 H). Try using pro mode, which will give you satisfied output.

Nothing to do with settings. Enable camera2api using ADB and try again.

@stark1296 Can you please guide on how to enable Camera2API using ADB. Thanks

I tried latest Arnova version of gcam. While changing modes of camera, camera lens moves backward. You can confirm by seeing the movement through camera glass.
I am not sure if it is safe for the camera hardware or not.

Google it. There are many help articles for that and also, you can confirm if it works on samsung devices. Actually, I currently don't remember the command which is meant to be entered in ADB.
