I've been looking for a better camera app.
By "better", I am referring to faster/quality. Not instagram and other image manipulation nonsense.
I am also aware that we are limited by hardware, but still there must be something better.
Has anyone found a suitable contender?

Is there any way to improve the quality of the camera? It is almost useless. Rooting or something?

The best camera, IMHO, is LG Camera Pro.
Better Camera App
I am using super app LGcamera (there is free version too) and there is available to set these things:
video bitrate (default is 15MBps) i use 20MBps
audio quality is better (FULL HD VIDEO) 96kbps, mono, 48000HZ
you can change your save destination
take a photo while recording a movie
....and more
Hey guys
thanks for the opinion!
I've tried for a while jb+ and I enjoyed it more than the stock one (was faster and minimal UI). I did not enjoy however the way you change settings, it seemed awkward. Also the video recorder does no support 1080. Another thing was the lighting setting, auto mode was rubbish and I had to manually select lighting for each photo.
Starting today, I'll be trying LGcamera.
So far, I'm impressed. It really feels solid and works good.
Video supports 1080 and takes photos at 5MP(stock takes photos at 2MP, I believe)
Focus seems better to.
I'd like to ask you guys:
What settings to you use? (focus, photo mode, light)
Also for video
Thanks!
I'm a fan of the stock Nexus camera app and purchased Camera JB+....works for me.

I see no point in recording in 1080p.....just my humble opinion. 720p works for me too.

Those options have terrible video framerates.
CameraJB+, LGCamera, Camera FV-5, give me bad framerates in video. I'm not sure if there's a fix or something but in darker areas like indoors, the exposure doesn't fix so the framerates dip into the single digits. The only thing I want is just timestamped filenames. Is there a modified Stock possibly?

Hey, I see what you mean and I think I can help you.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Get root access to your device (there're plenty of ways)
2. Unzip the attached archive and replace your device's media_profiles.xml with the one from the archive.
To do that, use Root Explorer app and go to /etc. Copy new media profiles and confirm the replacement. Then, don't forget to set the permissions of the new one to rw-r--r--.
3. Restart your device.
Now you have better sound quality in stock app (48000 kHz, 160 kbps) and you have better fps compatibility.
There're several apps for you to use:
a) For better quality and control, you can use FV-5 Cinema app. You should get fixed 30 fps under default settings.
b) As for LGCamera (the one with the older interface, version number around 5.4), you should set fps to 25 and you will get a stable 25 fps, regardless of the lighting.
c) However, if you are using the newer LGCamera (version 7), you'll have to go for a little trick:
Launch the app, and set the fps to 30. Now, go to Setting tab (the last one), select "Edit camera script" and add the following after the existing lines:
preview-fps-range=30000,30000
Now, restart LGCamera app, and you will have stable 30fps performance.
So, there're 3 options for you, choose whichever you like
P.S. I have P765 with the stock firmware from P760, version 20p.
Thanks but

That trick unfortunately didn't make a difference.. All third party apps are still agonizingly laggy. Thanks though, it was worth the shot.
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...
I have an app I use to take photos and it takes over the camera and flash fine and does the photo uploading for me. The problem is it doesn't allow the zoom to work in any format with the S4 zoom. Is there something I can change on the camera or is this simply a flaw in the app software that is preventing the zoom feature from working?
Someone might know of a trick but I bet it voids the warranty!
I imagine the app is designed just for camera phones in general rather than specifically for optical zoom versions as there aren't many of them around!
I've noticed that the K Zoom can't zoom in when used within Whatsapp.
What is the app you use?
The app is Provision by Vauto. I've talked to the app developers and they said it's not made to work with any zoom. It would be nice if there was a way to make it let me use the camera in its native state because the uploading feature of the app saves me a lot of desktop time copying and uploading photos from a digital camera but the quality of the pictures aren't up to par if I can't use the camera's features. I don't mind voiding the warranty on the phone if there was a way to get around it.
Thanks for the reply!
stock camera stinks, so what is best camera app to try with it?
Haven't tried it much since our camera sucks anyway, but Open Camera has lots of settings to play with.
I like Snap Camera HDR on play store
I am more put off by the slow opening speed and focusing of the stock camera app. Stock Google camera is basic but solves the problem.
I use Camera MX. I like the Live Shot option. However it takes a lot of sd card space and only you can see it. (You cannot share a Live Shot, except in the form of a video or GIF. I don't think the GIF option even works. )
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...
