RAW shooting with HONOR 8 - Honor 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hi,
I was little bit dissapointed with no option to shoot in RAW mode.
BUT...
I installed my fav camera app SNAP CAMERA and inside photo option i found possibility to switch on RAW (DNG format).
and guys...it works !!! I processed DNG files with Adobe Camera Raw and realy its much more better quality ...dynamic range, noise, shadows, over exposure, higlights etc. Everyrhing can be processed with right editor and behavied like true RAW format...
So try this solution

yes this one, there is a textwall of options but no raw for me

'Open camera' can do it as well. Just enable 'use camera2 API' and you can turn on the shoot in raw option

Sorry guys...I forget to mention, that you need check USE CAMERA API 2...as written

guys, i need your help. snap camera or open camera? i can't make a decision. which is the better one for the honor 8?
by the way: a better camera has this option too
so, new question: which of this three one?

Open camera is a great choice . it doesn't have compitability issues like snap

But, I think, open camera don't use booth camera chip, only one. You can see it very well in low light condition

Can anyone confirm that any 3rd party camera app (Snap Camera, A better Camera etc.) uses both lenses? I tried to cover one lense and compared the pictures and barely noticed a difference on Snap Camera and Open Camera which suggests that they are only using the main lense.

Second camera is not used for RAW capture. Shooting with both lenses requires the software to blend the 2 captures into a composite image which can only be done as a jpeg, just like any other in-camera effect. I'm using RAW capture in emui 5.0 and frankly I don't see much improvement by shooting RAW on this phone. In fact I think you get better low-light and better HDR performance by shooting with both cameras as a jpeg.

In EMUI 5.0 stock camera has RAW option in "Pro photo" mode.
Simply shooting in RAW format doesn't make your photos look better than jpeg. But editing a RAW photo can help extract much more details as you can seen in the OP example.

Exactly, this will output a regular .dng file which many editor apps like Snapseed can process for you; even the built-in gallery app will do some raw editing adjustments. It gets you far more data in the highlights/shadows to pull out of your photo when editing exposure and color in post.

Sorry to derail this, but I was wondering.
I have a P9 Lite. Several 3rd party camera apps can shoot raw dng, but I'd like to enable that option in the stock camera app. I notice pro mode on the P9 and other higher specced emui 5 phones allows dng capture so I had an idea.
I went out on a limb and tried editing /system/emui/lite/prop/local.prop and set ro.build.hw_emui_lite.enable=false, however I still can't find how to enable raw dng capture in the stock camera app.
Any ideas, tips?

Can i know which modules are installed in 6x ?

Plz can someone let me know ?

[Q] What camera app do you use?

So since the original camera app by SE is beyond retarded by compressing 8MP pictures to 4MP sizes and below what camera app do you guys use?
So far the best I've come across among the free apps is Camera360. It doesn't compress images as much if you set it to 90% quality giving you a 2-3MB pictures when set to 8MP and 90% quality (though I played with some settings and now it's only creating 1.2-1.6MB pictures, but it's still noticeably better than stock) so I guess I need to try the paid apps next.
Anyways I was just wondering what does everyone else use in an attempt to get the most out of the great 8MP sensor on the Neo?

really?
is this when enabeling something or zooming in?
or just when taking normal pictures....
Go put em on PC, you won't find a single one above 1MB regardless of your settings. If you set it to 2MP you get a picture that's 150kb-290kb. 6MP gets you a 500-700kb pic. The Arc and as far as I know all SE phones are affected by this "feature"/bug
If I take a 6MP pic with out point and shoot dediacted 6MP camera it's usally 2.3-3.4MB big.
If I take a 5MP pic with my Nokia Navigator I get a 2.3MB-3.5MB pic.
In other words SE is compressing the 8MP pic to WAAAAAYYYY below the size it should be.
Might be true, but for most things, you won't notice the compression.
I use the stock camera app and Vignette, mainly for the effects. It has 84 effects. There's also a demo.
I'll try out Camera 360 aswell.
You'll notice it the second you zoom into any pic you've taken on PC. The quality is then barely better than a 2MP pic.

just took a picture in Vignette, quality superfine, 8mp. It's 5,99mb. Mind. is. blown.
just go to filestube.com and search for vignette or buy it in the market. Also just tested the speed to make a photo from the homescreen. Stock app was a second slower than Vignette, camera360 was 3 seconds slower. Vignette takes a picture and processes it on the background, so you can take another picture right after another.
Vignette doesn't do normal pics though?
Right I've been testing Camera Zoom FX, Vignette, Camera360 and the stock cam and in my opinion Camera360 takes the best pictures because it has superior image stabilization to Vignette (unless I just haven't found anything), then Camera Zoom FX and lastly the stock cam.
The stock cam captures much less extra detail than the others.
Basically since Camera360 is the only free one I recommend everyone tries it. Watch out though, if you set it to save 100% it compresses it's images the same way the stock cam does but if you set 90% you get the best this app can take.
This includes any Arc owners that come across this thread.

Yeah I found that. Still can't find anything for image stabilisation though.
I seriously think Camera360 Free takes the best pictures.
LoL, i never needed an image stabilization,
Even if i enabled it in stock SE cam app, i noticed no difference
Vignette is best snapper and the best editor(especially when editing in full resolution)

All my Vignette pics come out shaky to the point that it looks terrible.

It really has so much options, but it processing pictures takes quite a long time (though you can use everything on your phone meanwhile).

Have you used a pirated version or the paid (or the trial). Maybe you could try some other versions. You can also find older versions.
i just snap picture using normal camera and edit it later using apps like picsay, picplz, photo enhancer, etc ^_^ so far so good

The point in this topic is that the stock camera app compresses photo's too much, so we want to find out which camera app makes better looking photo's

3.1 MP is standard. There should be a button (second one from the right) with the resolution in it (e.g. 3.1MP) if you click on it, you should be able to choos up to 8MP.
I can't get Vignette to take good pics, they end up even worse than stock despite being 5 times as big (I'm talking about shakyness/preservation of small details). Camera360 Free consistently takes better pics though. Unless SE fix this issue I reckon I'm gonna keep using Camera360 Free for all my still shots that don't require zooming or vids.

I can only speak for myself. All my shots taken with the official Samsung camera app. If I apply a filter, I only use apps on my Alpha. For those shots I used a filter in Camera360. The only other editing apps I use are Adobe Photoshop Express, VSCO Cam and Snapseed. All android apps, and really only a few filters.
Thanks for your explanation gavinfabl!

Only modification i have done is cropped and sharpened the first pic in picasa (it is called google photos or something) app. rest of pics are taken with stock camera app, because it seems to choose shutter speed and ISO more adequately than other apps. If someone knows app, that would prefer longer shutter over higher ISO please suggest.

You can try to use "DSLR Camera" and "ProCapture" each of one best photography apps in the store (in my opinion).

]Toms95 I just got my Alpha and not an expert you may turn on
Picture Stabilization because it appears to
leave shutter open longer primarily for low light shots but can be used other ways.
I think the trick may be to put phone down or Tripod mini etc and voice actuate the Camera to avoid motion on longer exposures.
Everyone else REALLY nice , sharp photos !
Some think it is the exact same sensor as S5 but lowered to 12 megapixels in firmware.
Is it sharper than S5 ?
Here is an example of using picture stabilization AND moving exposure up to +2 for a night shot in Miami Beach- it was much darker than it appears here and I rested phone on Latte Cup and voice activated shutter because this is a long exposure ( HDR must be off to go up to +2 exposure) .

Gavin I see you do great work with phone cams , cameras, etc etc.
With Alpha are you using a Tripod to get it so sharp and possibly using picture stabilization for longer exposures in daylight even though not needed ?
Or are the filters sharpening in edits ?
Thanks.

No tripod needed with the phone. It's got a good camera to start off with.
Some say Alpha is same Sensor as S5 but clocked down to 12 megapixels in firmware.
Do you think S5 is more detailed and sharp than Alpha ?
And will S6 be in your hands soon so I can get your opinion on that one ?

Hey guys and girls.
i had an nexus 5x before i switched to the Samsung Gang (A520F)
Loved my nexus , but they used weak chips (my Nexus just died and thats when i first heard of this issue)
What i most liked bout the Nexus 5x, was its camera. HDR+ shot were really fantastic, popping colors and were awesome to look at.
lot of people liked this camera and its software, so this guy is porting the camera app to other devices.
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-customization-raw-support/?nocache=1
really awesome work. tried it few times before, but the current release is working on the Samsung A520F.
i was just glad to be able to take photos, and compared it to the standard camera app, it's way better!!
much sharper , and i did not experiment much till now, there are plenty of option to around with.. so please give it a try and share your settings.
first HDR+ that worked for me with this settings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

anyone who knows a fix for the front camera?
Didnt try the front cam, didnt realize its not working.
Dont know if the settings change anything. Iam afraid the settings dont work, hdr is not processed.
Cant tell a difference between the different settings when comparing images..
There is a problem in front camera ...when i switch to front camera i have a force stop
When i switch to front camera i have a FC, please help.Thank you.
Well yes, also FC when switch to front cam.
Other settings also seem to have no influence on the image. Sadly no processing.
Hope it will work somehow.

Try one of the updated versions from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/google-camera-hdr-b-s-g-port-version-t3659879/page22
For me it's working - at least partially. Front cam and auto HDR are broken.
One version, the installer tells me it's not suitable for my phone - an A3. It was an apk file.
Hello @SchWeinSAuG, could you please upload your APK file or tell which version you used? I've tried a few and I can't get HDR+ to work, even when using your settings.
It works but with 2 problems. The flash is out of sync and the pics are too dark compared with the normal app.
As someone said earlier, the photos don't look that different from the stock camera. I tried many parameters and got basically the same results.
Could someone tell me if the Google Camera app runs on your A5 2017 and what is the version that you use?
I downloaded an application some time ago but the HDR + did not work, nor have I obtained better results than with the stock camera.
I would like someone to tell me if the HDR + works and if the photos are better than with the stock, and also what is the configuration to do in the settings for it.
Also, I would like to know if there's any option to activate the Digital Stabilizer for the videos in the app.
If there is one that works well, put the download link, please!
Thank you very much!

Poor HDR at night and the benfit of GCam

Last week I go Boracay and take a shoot of 7-11 near airport.
Use inbox camera app & HDR On. The banner of 7-11 totally white:

full sense:
Yes it's work, but anything on street are black.
Then I try GCam:
full sense:
My GCam without config, color is not vivid enough,
but overall the result is much much better then inbox camera app.
It's another photo take with inbox camera,, default setting, the banner is "RED", not "white"
As you see, the Mi-camera always record bright red light as WHITE.
Thanks GCam,it's save me much.

Delete data before installing. Stock camera is 2x fold worse compared to this GCAM.
1. HDR Enhnached
2. HDR Enhnahce 30 frames
3. Lib patcher - Chroma denoise 1.0, luma denoise 0.5
Do not take a picture, until the one you shot does not process completely, open the picture and check the loading phase. It is slow but its worth it.

The stock camera app (EU 11.10.12) always makes "light of any color" white at night.
For example, the blue and yellow LED string lights on the Christmas tree have all turned into "white LED"
And a new sample photo I took last night:
This photo is nothing like what I saw at all.

You need to both enable HDR Enhanced + from the main initial settings, and into the advance settings (main is the motion picture section, and advanced you set it to 30 or 45 fps, i set min to 45 fps. The pictures with this settings are stunning.

The Night Mode is very noisy. I think the Stock Night Mode from xiaomi is more accurate.

I agree. Gcam has better details in daylight. The main benefit IMO is using the 3.7x lens. It is so much more detailed in gcam, especially indoors.
And, of course, astrophotography. You can't beat that.
This appears to just be links to the two best known Gcam dev's Gcam versions rather than specific versions for the Mi 10/Pro.

Hi! one question, I installed the app en de XML..but how can I toggle all the lenses? Kind regards Tom
Depends which app you installed, after some research (actually hours of playing around) I came across some apps that have the option of adding additional lenses.
Several of the Gcam 7.4 I tried were not stable so I m using Urnyx05's 7.3.018. version 2.1.
I ve attached my config, you have to go into settings and enable the other lenses, I dont think the config enables them. (edit: it does on ports that support it, edited XML)
It might also be worth following the Note 10 Gcam thread too, as the cameras are the same, the same apps and configs should work too, although I ve not tried them yet.
Install burial beta 7
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.3_Burial_release_beta_7.apk
Then apply my in customized xml attached and you will be happy
Tried 4 different cameras and none are saving night sight pictures
It takes the picture, a preview shows in the bottom right, but then it just disappears
I ve had that sometimes, now I just cant view pictures via the camera, got to go to the gallery, using burial and the config 2 posts up.
It takes like 20 seconds to save night sight photos and I don't know why
Usually show up is photos app after 20 secs
Probably cos its stitching all those images together. Not that impressed with Burial tbh, lots of noise in night mode.
Does the gcam record hdr video in 10bit bt 2020 Color space at 4k 60Hz or just 8bit?
Anyone else not not able to use other cameras with ARNOVA8G2?
FAQ says to tap the screen and a tree will appear. I see no tree.
I've taken a photo of a toy cat and some printed text/pattern for comparison. I keep hearing that gcam blows the stock cam out of the water but I just don't see it. The stock photos are much warmer indoors, but I have lightroom mobile on my phone so that doesn't bother me too much. To my eyes, the stock app does a much better job at resolving fine detail and I have no idea what the gcam app is doing in the 3.7x zoom. Also the portrait mode, while probably sharper than the stock app, doesn't really do much background blurring.
For selfies, I get it. I think gcam captures more detail but I always need to touch them up because gcam seems to pump up the red channel far too much.
Here's a dropbox link to the photos.
These were all taken with Urnyx's 7.3 v2.3: GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.3.apk and the yan1.xml config file.
EDIT:
I've found another gcam version (Burial) which gives me better results. I also tested out the Lightroom camera which I am a big fan of. There is more noise in the Lightroom photos but there's also more detail. The best example of the difference in detail is to look at the dark grey around the text. In real life it's a very fine cross hatching. The stock camera renders this as a mix of diagonal lines, hatching and smudges. Gcam does better abut renders it more as black dots to the right, pretty good in the centre but a little smudged and then diagonal lines to the left. The Lightroom camera looks more like the actual pattern, albeit with more noise and less sharpening. It does soften as you move right to left but it's the most consistent of the three.
Here's the Dropbox link.
Lightroom is also much warmer but again that can be easily dialed in. For the purposes of this I've just left everything on Auto.
Not sure which one I'll use. I might need to do some more testing.
I ve been using Burial 7.3.018 months, waaay better than stock, you can add each lens too.
