Hello guys,
I have just found a decent Google Camera apk that mostly works for the Honor 8 and with it, I take better photos on the OpenKirin ROMs with this than the Huawei Camera ever could.
WORKING:
-Taking a photo
-Bokeh mode
-360° panorama
-Google Lens (with the Google Lens Enabler Magisk module)
NOT WORKING:
-Video crashes the app.
-Panorama is REALLY SLOW.
-Night Sight crashes the app.
-Time Lapse crashes the app.
-Taking a portrait photo breaks the app. If the error occurred with you, you should force close the app, delete its data in the Settings and restart the phone. If it doesn't help, you have to reinstall the app.

Try this version - https://www.cyanogenmods.org/downloads/huawei-generic-google-camera-apk/
It's based on a slightly older version, but everything works except Slo-mo. I'm using footej camera for slo-mo and huawei camera for night shots. Should work like a charm.:good:

A few people have asked me which camera based apps work well with this camera. So I thought I would share some findings here.
Essentially any Android app that makes use of a phone's camera will work with the Galaxy Camera, ie will allow access to the camera module and take the picture. The compatibility issues to be wary of are interface issues. This I find is either an app that only allows portrait mode, an app that uses an on screen slider for zooming (the zoom button on the camera controls the volume level in the app), an app that keeps the lens extended making the camera awkward to hold whilst using the editing features within the app and finally some storage location issues.
The following camera and editing apps are the ones I have tested so far:
HDR Camera+
Takes the picture with the shutter button or a screen tap and applies colour processing as desired, but uses an on screen zoom slider which zooms correctly but is awkward to use when holding the camera.
Camera Zoom FX
As above. The horizon level and shake detection work as designed too. However the camera shutter button sometimes takes the picture at the halfway point. Because of the weight of the camera and slightly awkward positioning of the on screen controls, I found myself accidently taking pictures.
Lapse it Pro
Again uses an on screen zoom but otherwise works as expected.
Pics Play Pro editor
An excellent editor but sadly only works in portrait mode. Does not have its own camera, will ask you to choose including the default camera.
Instagram
Comes pre-installed but interface only shows portrait mode, you can take a shot in landscape but the interface doesn't rotate with the viewfinder. I believe this is the same when used on a phone.
PicSay Pro
This is probably the best photo editor out there, it works in landscape mode but the feature that's missing oddly is a capture function. Why this is missing is beyond me. So you will have to take a picture normally then open it up in the app.
I would be quite happy to try out any other camera specific apps if anyone wants me to and will add to my list.

Thnx for post!
Can you please try from play google com

rubberbigpepper.lgCamera
com.tequnique.cameraxfree
And one more question - can any of photo applications control Optical Zoom by its on-screen-slider (not by hardware buttons)? Or only built-in?
Can you get any app to record slow motion video ( or does it work only in samsung's app ) ?
And maybe little OT: if you could please check little of USB OTG functionality ?
I can confirm that, on a rooted SGC, the OTG works, if Stick Mount is installed. I didn't try it without Stick Mount installed.
The default file manager opens automatically, I switched to the USB drive and could read all contents and open images using default Gallery.
---------- Post added at 06:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 AM ----------
The paid for Pro Capture Camera + Panarama app works with the Zoom button, albeit in a less smooth fashion than the default camera app. It doesn't automatically display the volume slider on the display, as most other camera apps from Play. I'll be checking this app out further so will let you know if there's anything else significant.

Paper Camera (paid)
Lets you apply some quirky effects to pictures and movies. Zoom does work in about 3 or 4 stages though (emailed devs, they're looking into it).
IP WebCam
Get to use your cam as a very high resolution IP webcam. Produces some very nice video. More for fiddling around than any serious purpose
The best panorama app in my opinion is ProCapture. You guys should definitely try it out. It produces some amazing hires shots and the algorithm seems very smart.
For HDR, IMO nothing beats HDR Camera+ with 'Pure' setting and noise reduction set to None.

Firstly the on-screen zoom slider does operate the optical zoom in these apps, it's not a digital zoom
Camera FV5 Lite
As far as I can tell this is working as designed, there are a lot of features in the app but as they are processing options they should work fine. Zooming once again isn't available on the hardware button.
LG Camera
The on screen button that has a flower icon... not sure what this is supposed to do, but all that happens when you tap it, is the whole screen turns white. It restores when tapping again. Auto flash is selectable when flash is raised but you cannot turn it off. Lowering the flash light will allow you to select off, but obviously it won't fire anyway in the lowered position.
Camera X Free
This has compatibility problems due to the screen size/resolution. Some of the icons merge together, are not selectable as touching them causes a picture to be taken. Adverts cover top part of screen and saved shots don't seem to appear in the gallery. I would give this a wide berth for now.
My conclusion, is that the camera's own set of utilities and effects are far better than any of these third party camera apps.
I use HDR Camera+ as it's more customisable than the built in Rich Colours setting. I use Camera Zoom FX for the props and frame overlays etc, all other apps I have tried so far I deleted as they just don't add any real value to the camera's own settings.

Hi,
I'm trying the recommended apps on my GC.
However, I'd like to have some other Camera features:
- 3D still photo (don't say it's impossible with a one-lens camera, Samsung WB850F smart camera can do it with a similar(or same ?) lens of Galaxy Camera)
- 3D panorama (this is another great feature of Samsung WB850F - captures panorama with 3D feature)
- Action panorama (this is another great feature of Samsung WB850F - captures panorama and a moving object on the still background)
Are there any 3rd party apps which could do these 3 features ?
thx.

no ideas ?
I've tried the following apps on Galaxy camera. Some of them are really useful apps. Some of them are not working, crashing.
HD Panorama+
Nice app for panorama photos.
Camera 3D
Manual 3D photo app. There are tons of this kind of 3D photo apps. This one is pretty good.
3D Photo Cam
The description of this app is tempting but it crashed on my Galaxy Camera. HAs anyone tried it successfully ?
FaceinHole
Great app for face in hole scenarios.
PIP Camera
Great PIP scenarios. Really nice.
Twin Me!
Crashed on my Galaxy Camera. But it seems to have uniq features like having 2 times same object in the photo on same background.
Does anyone have any idea why it crashes ?
MotionGraph
Nice one to have only some part of the photo moving.
Why do we have so many apps crashing ? (if they also crash on your GC)

I don't believe so, kept alive by yourself, thanks!
I have become frustrated at the amount of camera apps that only allow portrait view in both interface and on taking pictures. I guess this is down to the damn iPhone mentality again!
I have tended to just use what Samsung has provided and use some decent editing software (where necessary)

Camera front
when taking a photo with the front camera it looks like blurry and ugly, even with the hdr + or without the. and the portrait mode looks fuzzy and purple or green
Thanks
This one is more snappier and more optimized than the previous GCam 5.1 i used
Slow motion doesn't work but I'm fine with that
Most of the fancy stuff like manual focus, HDR+, Portrait and Lens Blur does work
Edit: the Built-in camera app does have slow motion, so there's that

I have been testing it (with default settings, HAL3 enabled and gcam front camera fix) and I found some bugs.
Sometimes, the shutter does not respond correctly and when I move the camera I can appreciate some lens distortion. I also noticed that the pictures taken with the rear camera are saved with a lot of background noise. It is normal?
If I disable HAL3 (into /vendor/build.prop), replace libmmcamera_platina_imx576_sunny.so (into /vendor/ lib/ ) and restart the device to be able to use the front camera, it takes photos but camera interface freezes instantly.
I am using Pixel Experience Pie (aosp version 2019 05 08) with Acrux Kernel 1.0.1 Stable

Put beauty mode to 0 and then you can shoot with front camera without freezing, noise is there, but pictures have much more details in comparation with stock mi 8 lite camera. I will post new version with night mode and longer default shutter speed soon, also i find how to fix beauty mode. Lens disortion is associated with cameraservice lib, stock lib from mi8 lite make lens totally distorted and wrongly oriented. I will try to fix disortion if i can. Miui camera from Pixel expirience don't use second lens for depth ??

Try to flash module with magisk, if camera app don't get installed you need to delete other camera apps manually via root file manager and flash again. With some roms camera won't get installed and after flashing you need to extract module and copy from priv-app miuicamera folder together with other libs in miuicamera priv-app in your phone

Use lib form my post, disable camera2api, and add this line to vendor/build.prop persist.vendor.camera.HAL3.enabled=0 Every app should work then with Pe, there is no benefit from Gcam if you broke everything with camera2 api enabled. Miui camera taking great photos now and portrait work perfect

Exactly, copy lib in vendor and turn off HAL3 to 0, and everything will work perfect, but Gcam will be broken.
