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!

Hi! I'd like to get Google Camera app with HDR+ on my Xiaomi Mi A1, but the official XDA port doesn't work. I've heard of some people using the app in SD625 devices, and the Mi A1 has the 625 SoC, so in theory it may be possible to port the app... I can't code, so does anyone know something about a download link that works on Mi A1 or can mod the XDA apk to work on the Mi A1?

If you are rooted you have to add below line in build.prop -
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
after that reboot. you will have working gcam with HDR+. although the slomo option won't work. and you will have EIS too in gcam.

i think Google camera hdr+ need a snapdragon 820++ isn't it?

@thewarrior2 It doesn't, it needs a 64bit OS and a snapdragon SoC packing a certain Hexagon DSP

Can anybody post comparison pictures of hdr+ and stock xiaomi camera app? I am really interested in seeing the results before buying this phone.

If you cant find the difference by looking at the samples posted, then you dont need HDR+.
But the fact is the difference is night and day!
Google is primarily known for software, which is what HDR+ is all about.. It uses the camera h/w, takes many pics when you click the shutter button, each in different contrast, and applies some kick-ass machine learning algorithms on every pixel of each groups of pics it took, fuses all of them, to get awsome looking pics.. Thats all it does, and thats all that no other stock camera app does from any other manufacturer. Thats why it beats even iphone.
So basically, google does more through software , what all others achieve through multiple h/w.. Reason why pixel 2 still has single Camera.

No you just use primary lens RGB.

Well it's a good place to start. If anyone is able to work on this to get the latest Google Camera working, or at least 5.1 that would be amazing.

Need to root?

To have real HDR+ to work you must have check mark in the dot/circle next to HDR+ icon.
We don't have this check mark when we choose HDR+ ON.
I think that real HDR+ processing ia not present now.
Testing the camera now on my P10 Plus, but there is a lor of noise and seems HDR+ is not working really with image stacking and all...

I'ts have hdr+, its faster becose it use 4 pictures to get 1 pic, not 10 like Pixel phones, becose of algoritam 4 diferent scenes of lighting.

Hmm I don't think this is actually producing any HDR pics. There is no difference in file sizes or any other data between two photos taken with and without HDR+ turned on

Yes, I noticed that too, makes no sense that HDR+ is working when the sizes are the same of pics after HDR+ is completely ON and OFF. Not only that is a sign it is not working, but as I said the check mark inside the circle is a real indication when HRD+ is turned on. Here HDR+ ON icon doesn't change with a check mark- this is the sign that HDR+ is activated.
On top of that there is so much noise in pics and no detail.
I have seen a friends Mi5s Plus with working HDR+ Mod and I tested it extensively and I know the behavior of HDR+ and the kind pictures it produces.
I hope that this mod will get better soon, it looks promising!

Hdr not working

Does it need root?...,if so where can I I?

any update with this apk?
BTW thank you for this apk

HDR+ needs Oreo to work.
Im waiting for update on P9 to test it. For now no difference comparing to native camera app.

root: It works on my Oreo P10 without root.
HDR+: I don't see any difference in the images if I check HDR+ on sv HDR+ off. So it does not seem to work.
Nevertheless, Photo Sphere is working which is good.

The best part of this APK is it does not crash except may be Slow Motion. For all others pic quality is good at least we may a working APK which can be improved over time.
Great start

And finally go to developer settings and check them like this screenshot below.

Does the Portrait mode works on Front camera? inst working for me on my S9 SM960F [ EXYNOS]. Despite this, the rest of the functions work perfectly. I have already installed and configured more than 10 different versions of GCAM for Exynos processor and I did not succeed with portrait mode with the front camera, does anyone know which one works?

Oh, I thought he was talking about the selfie. The stock camera app is sharper than gcam and HDR is much better as far as I've seen, gcam just darkens all the shadows and the processing looks overdone.

I know a lot of people used to think the stock camera was oversharpened, personally I think some images look a bit soft on auto, but pro mode especially using raw and editing in lightroom you get an amazingly sharp detailed photo

There must be a reason. If I was you I wouldn't count only on GCam. An update can disable it.

Since gauguin now has LOS 17.1 alpha and mi-globe currently the lack of a good working GCam is holding me back to seek to buy this one - and a little the imanent release of Redmi Note 10 Pro, which should have the same Snapdragon 750G and maybe Radio support.

Try this gcam mod - gave it a quick test and all basic functions seem to work
Video will record in 60fps without 4k option selected
30fps with 4k option selected - if you try 60fps the app will close and you need to clear data of app to use video again
