A stock camera alternative. - ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hey guys, I saw this on the xda portal and since I think the stock camera sucks I gave it a go.
Surprisingly it worked on Badboyz rom 3.2.
Just try it out for yourselfes, it seems promising to me!

P. S. I do not own this, all credits go to their respective owners.
EDIT:
This one seems to work as well.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/themes/apk-snapdragoncamera-codeaurora-build-t3533687
But none of these let me adjust video brightness, which is sad.
Only Open Camera does that.
Anyone has a good video camera alternative?
Stock is sooo dim.

It's been talked about many times now so try a search.
People found snap camera to work very well.

Did your photo quality improve?

You are the one who needs to do some reading I think.
I made this thread for a camera app that did not exists when people were talking about the alternative camera apps, also no one talked about the video brightness in snap cam or any other cam app to be honest.
I did my searching before posting, maybe you should do your reading as well.

I have used stock roms, Cm7.2, Miui, and Cm9.
Only to be continually disappointed by my photography results. I hope I don't insult anyone because I respect the photon by I had similar problems with the Atrix cough Motorola cough.
Has anyone found a good camera app.. Thanks and please don't take it negatively just honest.

try my 23.5 sprint 1080p cam
Edit:lokis has 1080p
And and one of jokers blur roms
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Thanks, may I ask where I would download that? Also I am currently with locked boot loader rooted with Ics keyboard and launcher pro. Lightning launcher is cool too. Anyways I realize the stock camera is pretty good and the pictures I had from ICs were not so bad.
I use camera zoom fx, and it works pretty well. I at first thought that my camera didn't take good pictures either, but once I put it on the computer it came out looking a lot better than I thought.

Agreed. The Photon screen makes human skin look redish-greenish. Transfer your pics to a computer and they'll look a lot better.

Hi welcome to SGS2 forum
Just some advice first, In here we expect some common sense when asking for help and common sense would dictate that you give relevant information like what rom and kernel you're using etc etc.
Have you checked your roms thread for info?
Have you re-flashed?
Tried other kernel?

It happens on stock rom, diaster and slim. I havent tried other roms yet.
You know skype, google+, stock camera so i can take pictures of me making duckface
that is certainly interesting, i have seen a few roms with actually broken camera apps, that give errors, once you activate the silly faces effect on the front facing camera.
also there is a known bug of google+ on several samsung devices including ours, that makes hangouts less than pleasant, i.e. not working at all most of the time.
but given that you experienced it on several roms and in all circumstances actually points to kernel issues, i agree with theatheist. (the rest was just for general information).
when it comes to recommending kernels, it really comes down to what rom you are currently running and personal preference.

Port of camera

So, theres this camera here I want to flash but gallery fc's when ever I open Camera, thus making it un-usable, anybody have a solution or maybe a link to a better or similar flashable camera? Heres the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133327 , what I'm mainly looking for is macro focus, but the more features the better!

Last i checked and tested, any 4.2 Camera port is for AOSP ROMs only. I have not found one nor gotten it to work on anything other than AOSP ROMs. I may be wrong, just stating my experiences.

D'oh. Well I like to stay on Stock-Based roms because I like full functionality of the dock, but thats not too important I guess, but I'm using a 4.2 camera on Hydro 7.0 right now, and its working fine, would this be cause its specifically made for the TF300T?

Okay on Fulmics it is not working.
is it normaly that in darkness the flash dont work before ffocusing? Always "blindshots" and most are foggy and unsharp, cause focus cant work without flash in darkness
hello this camera application is nice but is there a solution that inverts the front camera?
I agree with @mingo_mgx... it's hard to read all the pages, hundred pages... but I got lucky to see your comment answering to a noob, @DamiDev!! you linked the guy (and me, and probably many others) to this version :

that's an amazing version! it should keep sticked on LG G6 threads, it's really a big improvement... all of you here that doubt if it's worth it, just try this version!!
sadly it doesn't work with the Wide Angle camera, and having a 2.09mm version, i'm really sad about it...
thank you again, @DamiDev

oh by the way, this version HAS front camera portrait mode too... the portraits look A-MA-ZING!! so natural and well done!! it recognizes the subject very well and makes very cool bokeh effect... I was so impressed... now I really want to make more and more photos! <3

You can test a new version with wide angle for our g6 (just a beta version) but follow the thread for the final v

What's the best GCam solution for Magisk Rooted 20h?

I have the Camera2 API Enabler Magisk module installed, but the official GCam from Play Store is only compatible with Android Pie.
Should I just find an older version of GCam for Oreo? Or is it more complicated than that?

We used to have very active V30 Gcam thread, but the most popular version was from @Cstark. I suggested he start a dedicated thread down on the mods sections, because his kept being drowned out by the others in the "everything" thread.
It worked (February 2018) and the other "general Gcam" thread died out as his version was clearly the best. However, he had to widen the scope to other LG models because all the other LG model owners came in here begging it also work for their camera.
Suddenly it wasn't "GCam for V30", it became [GCam] [Wide Angle] LG G5,LG G6,LG V20,LG V30.
Stuff like this was also going on for in other forums for other brands like OnePlus, etc. So, a few months later XDA decided to MOVE all the GCam threads to another section of XDA:
Google Camera Mods
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/google-camera-mods
Also about this time, @Cstark stopped developing for the V30 as he got another phone, but someone else stepped in to continue his work. He never re-named his thread, so even though it says v 4.2 it's well past that.
Someone also created a thread in that forum section for the succcessor's mods, which work on a lot of phones:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78054159&postcount=2
You are right it's a popular question, but that's where it's all being discussed.
Gotcha, thoroughly detailed as always
I once spent a fair amount of time and effort keeping track of different GCam mods. Then I lost interest, because the stock cam was always the most reliable.
Several times it happened that there was a good photo taking opportunity in a trip or so, and working through different GCam issues, options and settings botched it. So, I am back to using stock camera. The best picture is the one you already took, not the one you could have taken.
Individual experience may vary.

I feel the same way. On rooted stock, the switch between cameras (wide angle, front/back) always works seamlessly, there's no green tint on any...
I even have access to G7/V40 improvements through the Anxious V30 Magisk module.
One of the reasons I never installed a custom ROM, because I use stock camera.

Aside from the green tint on the selfie cam, Arnova's 1.7 (Gcam 6.1.021) works great for me. I don't take selfies, so I don't care about that.
For fast/quick pictures, I use the stock camera app. But if I want to tinker, play, or use night-sight, this Gcam works well for me. Night sight just takes a little longer to do its thing. In the end, I have both available, so it's not a big deal to me.
Do you guys download any GCam apks from celsoazevedo? I thought I had found a link there for a specific version for the V30 but I can't find that link anymore. The OP on the cstark27 thread has a link for 5.1 but people in the comments are talking about a 6x version, but I can't find the download link and I don't want to click through 200 pages of posts to try to find it
So far I'm agreeing that the Stock Cam is just fine, however I did take a picture in Portrait Mode on GCam5 and it looks outstanding. And since I just recently got this phone, I wanna play around with GCam and see if I can find something that works for me. Currently I have Stock Cam, GCam5, and GCam6 all installed but I'd like to find one that works best instead of having 3 separate cameras. Got those from the /r/lgv30 sticky

I use stock and GCam5. I don't even bother with trying to find a GCam6 that works fully because there isn't one and probably won't be one. The only good use of GCam6 is the night sight. But I hardly ever have a time where I need it. I mainly use GCam5 for pictures because it does a better job of processing the photos. And Stock Camera for video because it has more options.

Yeah I eventually found the link again from the reddit page, but the cstark27 GCam 5 seems to be the most reliable. The only thing it's missing is Night Sight but I can just use the stock cam for that.

Have you tried Open Camera? It's surprisingly good, at least compared to the default cam in LineageOS.
