I really like the Android Stock camera app, more simple ( with less options but I don't care) more faster.... But I'm in love with the second camera and I would like to have it on my G5 working perfectly, so can anyone make Google Camera work like Whatsapp camera (tapping the flip camera switch to the second back camera)
You should use the Snap Camera that all the CM based custom roms used... It's just like Google Camera!
Hey,
I'm using lineage for over 3 weeks now and I'm very happy with everything except the camera.
I had CM13 Sultan before and the overall picture quality was much better + i managed to get the google camera to work so i had the google camera for snapshots and the "sultan camera" for manual mode.
Now on Lineage things are a bit different. The built in camera isnt great for both, snapshots or manual shots and the picture quality is also not as good. I flashed the OOS 3 camera zip but now HDR doesnt work anymore for me..
What camera App / Librarys do you use to get the most out of your opx with lineage?
The default camera app from LineageOS makes the selfie cam very choppy/laggy, I need this fixed if there is a fix because i'm planning to take some pics with front and back cam really soon. the selfie cam works on snapchat without problem and very smooth, but don't know whats the problem with lineageos' camera
Stock camera is not crappy but it's awesome
Hello XDAers,
I'm on Lineage OS 14.1 with the GCam installed. It works well except for when I zoom to take a picture (or even the portrait mode on the rear camera) the image after clicking is shifted to the right. I'm attaching examples below.
The first picture is a screenshot of what I'm actually focussing on. The second pic is the actually picture clicked. As you can see it always shifts to the right!
This happens with the LOS stock cam and all versions of GCams when I zoom. Portrait mode (which is 1.5x zoomed by default) also has the same problem!
Any help will be appreciated!
Known bug
Is it a bug in LOS or in the device itself? I bought it as an X829.
It would be great if you can share what this bug is called and any links describing it
It's a bug with Nougat and this device (camera blob problem). It's only digital zoom anyways, so nobody really cares.
True. My only gripe with it is the problem caused in the portrait mode (GCam). Otherwise doesn't bother me so much.
Thanks!
The only way to have correct zoom is by using pic size of 16:9.
hope some one else have a batter solution with the size of 4:3 so we can enjoy the full power of the camera.
I have the same problem but left-shifted and only on Messenger camera. In GCam i haven't this problem .
Thanks @ali7_has !
That's pretty unusual that you have a problem only with the messenger cam.
I haven't this problem on stock ROM or other based stock but I have this in Nougat and Oreo ROMs ( i tested 2 roms Nougat and one Oreo ROM). I have this only in Messenger cam, in GCam or preinstalled cam iI have no issue
thanks to @prsapphire the zoom is working correctly even for 4:3.
fist I installed his EUI 6.0 from this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/rom-eui-6-0-0617t-prerc-port-x850-t3739612
than I clean install AICP oreo and now the zoom is working correctly.
I think his modem firmware is the solution for our zoom problem.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Are you sure? That didn't solve it for me. Still right shifted in 4:3 ratios.
EDIT: Just installed latest Pixel Experience and low and behold, zooming works correctly. However I think this might be to do with the fact it's now using the open source Camera HAL?
Heyyo, use Camu from the Play Store. It's the only camera app without that issue... Not sure why tbh.
As for Oreo ROMS? If they use the new Open Source Camera HAL? They won't have the zoom issue. It's a known bug with the camera shim used in Nougat and early Oreo ROMs.
Hi there!
I recently switched to an AOSP Rom (bootleggers) and I've been wondering if anyone has experience with any camera apps that support manual mode for ASOP. I've tried filmic but that is not compatible with the wide angle cam and while I find gcam great for photos for video I like more manual controls. So what are some of the apps that do a good job with the v30's cam?
