[Q] Cameras in Android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok im sure that with add ons like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276&highlight=camera
people have noticed that cameras quality can be improved on android with the same hardware. But what is the best application / kernel which can use an android's camera to its fullest potential?
Stock rom's quality can almost always (atleast on the HTC phones ive tried) be beaten by custom roms like those from cyanogen or miui. Can i just push those files which improve the quality into my droid? Or is there an app which can do all this automatically?

[Q] Looking for suggestions - x10 as Camera

Hey all
Okay, I've switched to the Arc for my day-to-day phone, but i'd like to repurpose my x10 as a camera - Panorama Beta, HDR+, tonnes of other software and i bought photojojo's lenses for cell phones and installed them there as well. So here's my question:
Which custom/stock rom/firmware would YOU suggest for best camera performance?
I will not be putting a sim in the phone, but i do want the wifi to work. GPS tagging is nice too. i'll prbably rip out all the telephony stuff to minimize OS drag.
Any thoughts?
Stock 2.3.3 with custom kernel,get rid of bloatware and install camera 360 for HDR pics.
hope this helps
or 2.1 with the mod of the camera.apk and the above requirements.

Samsung Stock Camera experience in non-Samsung ROM (e.g. CM)

I'm a big fan of CM and other non-Samsung versions of Android. In the past, there has been no real reason to keep Samsung based ROMs. But with the S3, the stock camera app seems so much better than everything else, this is a problem.
Are there any ways of running the stock camera app in CM at the moment?
OR
Are there any alternative camera apps that can do the kind of continuous speed shooting (20 exposures etc.) that the Samsung stock app can do?

I would recommend using hx camera mod. I can say that it 's the best camera app so far especially when recording a video at 30Mbit - 1080p superfine. Try to look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691145 or http://hx-custom-roms.com/galaxy-s3-camera-mod

Thanks. I think this will only work on stock roms though as it is Samsung framework dependant. What I really want is something that will allow me to leave Samsung roms and move to for example Cyanogen mod, but keep the additional functionality found in the Samsung camera app.

Samsung apps does not work on AOSP ROMs. You will have to use alternatives.

Do not tell, because why? And maybe there is some sort of video player animated preview app-like video list?
There are ups and downs to different types of roms.
TouchWiz: Laggy(yds), features u will miss when gg to aosp etc, camera, the apps by samsung
Aosp etc: Poor camera quality, the stock music player app is not good, however very fast and snappy, no lag at all.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
on the lg p990 forum we had the same problems with cyano.
Someone ported part of the lg framework on AOSP and we were able to use the official lg's camera (extracted from ICS) on cm10, instead of the crappy aosp one.
No way we can do something similar with i9300?
sorry, but it's not about the pros cyanide, about samsung apps, frameworks and TouchWiz also have ports, so why not to port these two applications?

Which custom ROM for an efficient camera use?

Hi,
I'm a bit new to custom ROMs although I've known for a long time what advantages it could bring. Today, I need to develop, for a project, an efficient and low latency streaming app from my old SIII camera. I thought that there may be a custom ROM that would enhance JPEG frames compression by a better use of CPU/GPU, however I did only find "Camera improved" on ROMs descriptions. I thought of Android Revolution HD, but not sure at all!
Any ms gained is good to take, so I'll be glad if anyone could help a bit here!
Thanks in advance
Try archidroid 3.0.2 (KK).
CM
Hi,
CyanogenMod and all based ROMs have got Snap-Camera. It's very good.
Download:
CyanogenMod: cm-13.0-20160115-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip
AICP: aicp_i9300_mm-11.0-NIGHTLY-20160116.zip
Thanks, I'll look for both of these CM!
However I just don't see how snap camera can help me, I haven't any source code that could help me developping an optimal JPEG images diffusion stream (like done here at the end of the article -> google "peepers fox dog studio", can't post link yet)
Also, does anyone know if there is a possibility to mod S3 camera in order to record in [email protected] ?

Is there a "Best Camera APP" for custom ROM's?

Hi all,
Im thinking about getting back to stock firmware because Im not able to find a camera app that suites my usage needs. This is for me the best camera app i used but unfortunately it does not work on custom roms.
Since I turned to LOS, i couldn't become friends with:
-LOS stock cam app
-Google camera
-Camera Zoom FX
and some others i tried and deleted.
Best so far but still not really satisfying is Open Camera.
Is there some app that comes close to the V10 camera or is better than open camera?
Thanks for any answer!

some say footej other proshot are best for LOS.
as for v10.. ccamera its not the camera app. its the framework..used in tock LG based roms..
Hey, i think footej is a bit better than open camera but only in pro version, because only in pro version you can set jpeg quality to high.
Only footej camera premium! Basic isnt good but premium (paid) is the best.
Thanks for the input. Footej seemed really good. Unfortunately, before buying it it crashed when i was selecting the shutter speed. I mailed the support and wrote about it. I think i'll wait a little longer before buying the app. Also, the phone gets really hot regardless of the cam app i use. Any idea why? i cant recall if it was the same before LOS. Other than that, it seems like a really good alternative.
lightroom the best
Guys in Proshot there is Noise reduction adjustments. Manual doesn't say which one does what. There is NR HQ and LQ. My question is which option out of the two has least noise reduction as High quality vs Low Quality could be interpreted in different ways. One where High quality means lower noise reduction and other High quality meaning high strength of noise reduction applied meaning more smooth photo and less noise. Unfortunately Proshot manual does not list any description and can't find info anywhere. Thoughts guys?

For me Proshot camera is the best "alternative" app for take good quality photos... After this I can tell you that noise reduction in LQ works better than HQ, pics seems more real and smooth, HQ is too aggressive and photos loose their quality.

Ok that is where confusion lies. Tell me this. In LQ or HQ you see more grain in pictures ?
Actually is not so easy to answer. It depends a lot from light and colours. Sometimes HQ specially in day lights give better results, less grain and sharper photos, but sometimes specially in the dark LQ is better less sharp but photo quality and grains are better. For sure without noise reduction grain is always too much
I'm looking to get a G4 and installing LOS. But I don't know what 3rd party camera has manual controls for still pictures and/or video.
What's the slowest shutter speed I can get with them?
What are the framerates available?
Please don't hesitate to give as much info as you guys can muster.
Thanks.

i ditched LOS and went back to imperium rom. I tried Camera ZOOM fx, Footej Camera, Google camera, open camera, free camera and some others i think. For me, none of them came close to the stock camera app or V10 Camera ported to G4 but the one i liked the most was Footej camera. As others said, it is an driver issue in Nougat based LOS. Once the official nougat camera drivers are included in LOS, i might go back. The lack of a camera app that i could use comfortably was a dealbreaker for me.
I've had this same issue as well. I was using a stock based rom, but it stopped being updated, and my phone kept trying to update, using all my mobile data in the process. I couldn't find a way of stopping it downloading the update I couldn't install, so switched to resurrection remix, but now have the same camera problem. http://telewizor.serwis-tv.com/?lcd,23 I've been using Open Camera mostly, but its not ideal. I never thought this would be as big of an issue as it was.
What about snapdragon camera with hdr or hacked google camera with hdr+? Links are in AOSCP rom.
Which of the camera apps is able to make 360° photos compatible with facebook, like Samsung does?
I have tried Google Camera, various versions (original 3.2, 4.0 and modded 4.4), but all of them crash with error "Can't connect to camera" when I select Photo Sphere or Panorama in menu...I have stock Nougat (V29A) with titan kernel...
