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...

lgcamera - Android app that can be installed from Market. It offers the possibility to take video recordings with customized options. This app works on Wildfire (tested on nightly CM7) and if messing around with the app settings a bit, it can take videos of a higher quality then the default camera app.
This thread has the aim to inform you about this wonderful app and to encourage you to test and post here your settings/configurations.
Thank you.
Ok downloaded it now installing...Testing later reply tomorrow
EDIT: Ok well first impressions: yay no border .
For recording...what settings its best? it's record but not playing after...
I use Vignette, it works great, it does photos and video all from a full screen with no borders. I love it. Give it a try lads!

lgcamera surely can take better video recordings than default CM7 Camera app. (i specified it has been tested on CM7 nightly)
I'm aware that you were talking about cm7. Maybe the quality is better, but its still bad enough that I won't use it anyway (my fifth gen ipod nano comes handy here )
So I merely said that its of no use to me. (I find vignette far superior, although it lacks video recording)
this app is great for photo shooting but the zoom don't work on my phone
Hey guys,
after a couple of days with the Z2 I really can't wait for Cyanogenmod to arrive. Although I'm very happy with the hardware, the ROM leaves a lot to desire.
One thing that does seem to be better with the stock ROM is the camera. Between the 4K video recording function and the various other functions that come with the stock camera I was wondering what prevents us from getting the stock camera on a 3rd party ROM? Wouldn't it be possible to extract everything from the stock ROM to another ROM?
If that's not possible, what good alternatives for a 3rd party camera are there? Any recommendations?
Camera FV-5

I just tried the cinema app they offer and sadly it is limited to 1080p and a max framerate of 30. These are really two features I'd like to keep. Still gonna try the camera app and compare it to the stock app. Will post the photos later tonight.

I don't know any good app for 4K video but Camera FV-5 is pretty good for stills...
Hi,
Has anyone tried the one plus camera apk on the p20 lite. I am getting noticeably better photos. Major difference being the size and sharpness of the photos and videos. The downsides would be not able to access gallery from the app and the inability to shoot portrait and slowmo. Let me know your thoughts. For the ones who would like to download it, the apk is available at apkmirror.
Thanks
Could you post some examples, maybe even the difference between photos with both camera apps? I am interested in this phone, but the camera reviews are not really positive.
And important to me: is there an option to change the picture resolution to a 16:9 aspect ratio? If yes, at what amount of megapixels is it?

Thanks for the informatio, I downloaded the app and tried with a picture of my cat and the hair looked sharper, but I had a problem and won't let me use HDR.
Anyone please upload some comparative sample pictures taken with the stock camera app and this other app.
And/or make it able to download from somewhere in the original size and quality so it is comparable in the best way.
No one?
I can pick the phone up this weekend, but I need to know/see if the pictures are better with that other app.
The ones with the stock app are not the best, so I would like to see a comparison.
The only problem with stock app is how the jpeg file is being processed. It needs to be corected as RAW files are much better in terms of quality.
I know.
But I think it is also possible/easier to have a good app that makes better pictures, even in jpg.
I use Camera FV-5 and it always gives me better quality.
That's why my question stands: please post some comparative pictures.
Hey there guys, i have 9.0 pixel experience ROM on my RN4. Camera2api enabled.
I don't know which version of gcam i am currently using but it gives a lot of force close errors and a green tint on front cam too.
I tried a lot of apps to know whether I've a Samsung or Sony sensor in it, but to no avail.
Would you please be so kind as to point me to the best gcam version suitable for my device right now?
Thank you so much kind stranger.

NO FC's, no green tint, portrait works, HDR works for both front and back and you can choose bitrate for video recording, using it for months and never looked back.
To avoid issues first fully remove old gcams you have installed.
Also i recommend flashing this magisk modules: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1RkHruqNGIKnkgfhX0B7BaeEGYc-airBc
It will let you record in [email protected], fixes distorted sound in video recordings and enables 30fps in viewfinder. (it works for Samsung / Sony, not sure about Omnivision)
To check which sensor you have just run some logcat reader, open gcam and shoot few pics, look for sensor info in log.
What is gcam? Can anyone explain.

Gcam stands for Google Camera. That's camera app from Google and it is originally found on Google (Pixel, etc.) devices. However, when using it on other phones, it can significantly improve photo quality in comparison to what stock camera and other available alternatives on the market can achieve. That's because Google Camera relies heavily on "clever" software and superior photo processing algorithms capable of generating and preserving more data. So even hardware-wise "bad cameras" can benefit from using it. Of course there are some downsides as well, since the app is not designed to be run on other - non Google - devices you need modified version of it in order to use it. That said there are many different modifications of said application with variuos degrees of functionality, bugs and stability. You can check most of them collected here.

Hello guys, what is the best GCam port for the Motorola Edge 40 Pro? If there is one, where can I download it? Thank you in advance
FYI I tested a lot of GCams 8.8.224 (the latest version as of now) and the only cam that doesn't crash is the Shamim SGCAM_8.8.224.10_STABLE_V9FIX. I will keep it becauseyesterday I was at a live concert and the stock camera microphone is a total mess (every video that I made has the audio extremely distorted, while the instagram camera doesn't have this problem, but the video are ****ty).
There are a few problems tho:
1- it is extremely slow when you click every button
2- without touching any settings, pictures and videos are worst than the stock camera
Let me know if that version works for you, and if so, which setting do you use to improve the camera quality!

Tried what you recommended but that gcam had too many problem. 4k 60fps recording just hangs never actually enabling. I'm satisfied with the camera, just wasn't happy with the speed it takes photos.

Have you tried to record a concert with the stock camera? You would get a super distorted audio (with every other camera app i don't have this problem). For now I keep it just to record live concert, but I know it has a lot of problems unfortunately

I don't go to concerts lol. Everything I've filmed has been fine on my end audio wise, I work in a relatively loud environment and the mic holds up about as well as any other phone.
