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

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 !!!
Hello everyone,
I just want to share info that Google Camera with HDR+ is working on HTC 10. The camera version that works on our device is V2.1 - Download

yes, but low light performance suck. much noise
Please visit the HTC 10 Camera Thread, we've been discussing the different versions and best settings for them. The latest releases (based off from 5.0 and 5.1) provide a much better photo than the older ones.

Do you have any sample photos?
In theory, this let us use aosp roms but still enjoy xiaomi images processing ie same quality photos as stock?
Thkans a lot! I've flashed it on Pixel Experience rom and everything went fine. Appart from a few freezes in portrait mode, I had no bugs so far. :good:
Works perfect on lineage-16.0-20190109 with MiPa Kernel [19.01.19] - no freezes here

Not as easy unfortunately. The camera HAL, which in stock ROMs use to be always better, normally decreases quality on photos for custom ROMs not based on stock.
Also the custom camera blobs used on custom ROMs use to have less quality.
In any case not sure how much this facts still apply since Treble integration.
To summary: i didn't do a comparison between stock and custom ROMs using miuicam but i did with both using gcam, same conditions and parameters, results were the same/very similar.

Thanks, do you experience that cameras are "snappy"? Are they crashing under some circumstances or are there lots of features that doesn't work?
Crashes when I try to take a picture or video on Pixel Experience GSI Rom.
Does it benefit from using dual camera? Is there 2x optical zoom option using second camera?
Everything work perfect in Pixel Experience. Bye gcam
I used it with LineageOS. It worked fine, but my QR scanner doesn't find the camera as it tries to open the original Snap camera app, which isn't able to connect to the camera anymore.

Yes. It utilizes both camera's. 2x optical zoom works. And portrait mode also works.
I did have a bit of a bug with the second camera freezing, causing the app to crash when 2x optical or portrait was selected. But that was fixed after a reboot of my phone.
I am running Pixel Experience.

I got this solved with the help of the developer in the Telegram group. This is how: I opened the file ANXCameraMagisk_5.OldShamefulAnt.zip and deleted the lib folder in /system in the zip on my PC (it didn't work on my phone), reflashed it in Magisk and now the stock camera works again and so does the external QR code reader. Also the Miui Camera kept working after a short glitch when I tried the first time.

I found that portrait mode doesn't work anymore after that mod. Did you try that as well?

Same here. So I use Gcam for pics and the miui ported cam for video.
Anyone got it working on a GSI rom?
I can make short videos. And change all settings. But as soon as I try to take a picture, the app crashes to homescreen.

Rom in question
Do continuous shootings work? One thing wich is holding me back from switching to AOSP Roms. Every Mod i tried so far can just make a picture for each press of the button but not shoot until i release the button

Running pixel experience with android 10. Haven't had any issues since upgrading to 4GB ram runs just like it use to back when I first got it.
By the way, facing problems at camera section. I was using Camera NX (super smoothly) for pixel experience with android 9 but it does not work with android 10.
Does anybody has the stable Gcam for pixel experience with android 10?? If yes, it will be highly appreciable if you share the download link.
+1 to this. We need sone sort of minimal or stable gcam for our sluggish device :crying:
I have the same issue. The only camera app that work nice and fast is the camera go (see my post here)
I think there's an issue with the camera library that comes with PE10. Every time I take an HDR+ picture, it crashes the camera app (I've tried several).
Best way forward is to debug the issue.

Yo, I recently purchased a Pixel 3a xl and was running the device on Android 10 (QQ3A.200805.001) but when using the camera app, video captures were getting pixelated and lags. I did a factory reset to the device but the problem persisted. I started to try different versions and I saw that the recording went smoothly in Android 9 (PQ3B.190801.002). Even though I tried modded apk versions of the same version camera app on Android 10, I saw that it did not give the same performance. What exactly is the difference between these two versions? Maybe OIS or EIS software? Also on 7.3 version video brightness is higher then 6.2 and when i move the device different angel its keep focusing.
Android 10 Camera App Version: 7.3-7.4
Android 9 Camera App Version: 6.2.018
