[Q] What's the best camera app for Nubia Z7 Mini? - ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini

Hello
I can't decide which camera app gives the best results for shooting photos...
Because of the fact that the mini lacks the OIS, it's really hard to take a good photo...
What app did you find that provides the best results?
Thanks :good:

So no one is taking photos I guess..?

After testing several, the one that gave me better quality photos was Snap Camera.

The Nubia Camera App is pretty good and has a lot of Functions.
Using now another Rom and the Google Camera App

Snap camera is pretty good indeed...
But I cannot record live performances with that phone... It seems like mic gain is too loud..

Which ROM are you using?
The stock camera is not going to work if you are not using a stock based ROM, I'm trying to port it but there is a lot of work to do.
You can try the generic app from http://app.nubia.cn/app but it's not full like stock one (no HDR).

I'm using Cyanogenmod 12. I always use Cyanogenmod. The sensor in the oneplus is the same as in the nubia Z7 right? So I don't understand why the pictures look moved and the colors look washed out.
I don't know how I feel about the nubia, the size is good, it's smooth, the battery is good but the oneplus camera was waaaay better IMO.

I am using CM11 and Lenovo camera, with this phone you can also use freedcam (search here on xda) and you'll have access to the raw image.
Drivers and software can do a lot of difference even with the same sensor.

Yea but my Oneplus was also on CM12 and using the cm11s camera. Would it be the other hardware like the 1GB ram that's missing and the CPU that's clocked lower?
The pictures look moved easily and the colours are washed out!

That's because not like the oneplus, the z7 mini lacks OIS...

Oneplus does not have hardware OIS as well (I think). So no software OIS?

Hi,
I like the native app of nubia, but i have a problem of sound. Every sound are "metallic" very bad result.
Do you have an idea to solve this problem ?
Thanks.

i buyed z7 max but they send with 5.1 LP but the front camera not clear view in the day and night pls post to my id [email protected]

Flashing custom rom will change camera quality

i have buy redmi note 3 after my samsung note 3 neo, but 16mp camera of rn3 is not good as samsung 8mp camera, sometime 8mp samsung photos are way better than rn3 16 mp, rn3 photos are very grainy when zoom in but samsung photos are very sharp, so i have read some post on miui forum and internet, and find in some user say that this probelm is due to image processing algorithm of miui, so flashing any custom rom will change my camera quality or not.
OK.
Are you asking a question, or are you telling us?

i am telling you my problem and asking for solution..
If you using MIUI stock camera, try another camera app like Google stock one.
MIUI Stock is over-saturated, over-sharpened.
I'm using customized setting for MIUI stock. Lowering everything, contrast, saturation, sharpness.
But camera movie quality on stock MiUi is great! Just Recorder a trial of my Band yesterday and result was best over all AOSP or CM13 tries I did before!!

Wow that's impressive ! Thanks, I was expecting way more artefacts with a software only stabilization !
Wow man, I don't believe this.
any link to download AE warp stabilizer

No separate link. He just used an effect found in Adobe After Effects. so you have to download After Effects
Which place is this ? And is it Modded GCam ?
Very good to our phone, IMHO this cam is the weak point in RN3 pro... but with software help is good .

Google Camera On Zenfone Max Pro Tested!

Hello everyone, I recently unlocked the bootloader of my Asus Zenfone Max Pro and installed Magisk to root the phone. All of this was done for just thing - Trying out the Google Camera as I do feel that the Stock Camera app is pathetic and that's the major reason why the Zenfone Max is not performing that great. For Google Camera to work, After you have rooted your phone, download this app called 'build.prop editor'. After it is downloaded search for 'persist.camera.HAL3.enabled' The value would be 0 by default, Change it to 1 and then reboot your phone. Now install the Google Camera apk(Whichever you feel like, I'm attaching the one that I keep using) and you're good to go. Everything including HDR+, Front And Back portrait Mode, Video Stabilisation works.
Here is the complete video review along with Comparisons with the Redmi Note 5 Pro On Google Camera.
Thanks....google cam is definitely better.

Now that you have rooted are you able to use Tez ?
Wow man that looks far better!

hey brother, first big thanks to you for doing this.
yesterday i just ordered 3gb version of this and glad to find your google camera app review. i earlier saw your videos with max pro m1. i like the way you reviewed it, like a daily usage user unlike others who do monotonous review which gives the feel that the person did not even use it.
https://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_max_pro_(m1)_zb601kl-9173.php
Anyways, my query is regarding google camera app on max pro m1 ?
1) In the specs, its given that phone supports 1080p/60fps recording. During its announcement it was mentioned that such feature will come ? Could you please check whether google camera app provides the same ?
2) And in the video you have mentioned with google camera app, support for EIS comes in ? Could you please elaborate more on that.
And part from this, please give your general view with new updates how much is the Fingerprint sensor and Faceunlock is making life better or worse as most says because of its slow speed?
Cheers,
Arnold
Any apk for unrooted device? All can't root the device, as it has risk of making phone dead.
What happens to the Battery life and futures OTA updates !?
Thanks for the post
Indeed am looking forward to root my asus max pro m1 and install google camera
But Need to know how it affects the battery life and Future OTA updates that the Phone is likely to receive.
Looking forward for an answer !
Cheers and Peace!

It doesn't affect the battery life and apparently OTA Updates will work with Redwolf Recovery. I haven't tested it since there is no new update to test with

I haven't found anything for unrooted phones. Rooting won't make your phone dead. There are ample amount of guides here on xda which are very simple.

I couldn't see 60fps option but I will try some other google camera apk and reverify. About EIS, yes it works with Google Camera. Sometimes you get some artifacts on the left/right edge but overall the footage seems a lot smoother. I still find fingerprint sensor to be slower and face unlock is a hit or miss. I'd say it works 70% of the times. Struggles sometimes in indoor or dim lighting conditions.
i just use Oneplus Camera, i think its still better than Google Camera. Go find it at apkmirror.

Google Camera 6.1[ no root] VS Pocophone's Stock Camera Comparison

Hi,
A very special thanks to B-S-G for making pixel 3 camera port for Poco F1 and
Also Sreekant(XDA senior Member) for letting us know and for links.
Google camera 6.1 is just a beast
When I took some night/low light shots from both gcam6.1 and Poco F1's stock camera I really shocked how good the night mode is.
And I'm also a small growing YouTuber so pls Checkout my channel,that would be too helpful and I really do appreciate it.

Yep. Front camera is where you can notice how bad Stock camera struggles with light exposure. Whereas there's no problem on Gcam.
Please check attached photos, clearly MI 6 wins, even without Gcam. Stock camera HDR on Poco is useless unfortunately

Sorry but... Dont know why you All are so happy with the Port. Its slow... Standard Pictures issue to take 2 or 3 seconds... After 3 shots the App halts. Yes the Image Quality is good but there is no WAY to Make serious images with IT...

You've probably not configured it probably
Excuse me? I haven’t configured it proberly?
Are you kiddin me ? Sorry I expected to use a camera app as it comes for the device... my fault. You`re right Next time i’m Gonna configure it correct before using it. Didn’t expect it was windows what we were talking about.
I’m fine if you tell me this app needs a pie rom for best usage and indeed i only tried it on Miui 10 beta so far - but on miui10 it sucks. As i installed in in more than one version.
Edit:
I don`t want to miscredit the developer of the app in general. I really appriciate his work here. I would love to use it really - but cant in daily usage. thats all i wanted to say.

In settings the front camera says 5 megapixels and can't be changed higher than that. Are the photos in 5 megapixels or is it just a visual bug.

You won't find working 64mp on any Gcam port. You can get all lenses working and I believe a max of 48mp. That will still get you good photos. Higher megapixels doesn't always mean better pictures. I think you'd be satisfied.

I'm using Urnyx05's GCam port for some months now and am really satisfied. Still I would like to use the full resolution of the sensor to have more detail and be able to zoom in closer. Also using all the Quad Bayer features of the sensor would come in very handy. Otherwise it's just a waste of potential.

Unfortunately to use 64mp you would need to be running stock. I feel you tho, I run AOSP ROMs without Gapps, so I'm limited to just the main sensor at 16mp.

Dear Friends & Developers,
I installed it.
It works great except when I change the video res to 4K, app shuts down, whereas it works in full hd .
I was wondering if it can be fixed.
because I enjoy other functions of the program and I appreciate very much for the hard work.
I hope you fix it so that I could use your program rather than the phones default cam which takes 4K videos without any problem
all the best

Not going to happen. Only way to use stock camera is with stock firmware. If you want all working lenses on a custom rom then you will need Urnyx05 gcam.
Well, it is not what the OP asked for, but there are two free and open source Apps that can help with the Camera:
1. Open Camera - go into settings and enable Camera API V2. the quality of the pictures and videos are good.
2. FDcam - it allows you to use all the cameras, except for the depth camera. They all work.
Unfortunately, none of them get get more than 16Mpixels out of the main camera.
