Hello there. I wasent sure if this went here or in the Apps department or in the general . But anyway. I really like the samsung camera app. But I also really like cm10. But im keeping touchwiz just for the camera. So my question is this. What camera would you recommend that has all the same features as the stock one?

I haven't found one that has the instant shutter but overall I like ProCapture the best, which takes good pictures and also has a panoramic mode, touch to focus etc. Camera Zoom FX is also another popular one, but I don't think it has panoramic but it does have burst. Neither are exactly like the TW camera but both are pretty good apps IMO.

Would love to know what you guys think is the best camera app. (I would also like it to work with the front facing camera)
The only app I know of that can use the front facing camera is Tango. Tango is for video calling, works like Qik.
Fx camera is free and really nice IMHO

vinnette seems to be the best at the moment
but i'm pretty happy with the Stock camera app, it does what i need, abeit not has HQ as vinnette, but is good enough for a quick snap shot

That app turned my crappy Milestone 2 camera into a quite decent one. So much I paid for it and I don't even use the effects you get when you buy the app.
Om my friend's SGS he didn't think it made much of a difference tho.
I really can't spot any difference between the stock camera app and the 3rd party ones. The only app that has made a difference for me was HDR camera, but you have to keep the phone steady (absolutely steady, not in your hands, it has to be on a support or something) for like 7 seconds. Its not very practical but if you're looking for the best qualitty it is for you.
The title pretty much says what I'm looking for.
The AOSP camera has the simple time lapse video recording. I know there are other apps that can do this, but the overall better experience I have had with the AOSP version is what I want.
The only way you can have the touch wiz camera is if you use a touch wiz Rom. I'm not entirely sure if the aosp camera will work on touch wiz but I don't see why it wouldn't.
well, Im on a touchwiz rom. Im thinking if I try to either flash or install it in the system apps, its going to replace, or try to replace the touchwiz camera. Other then doing a nandroid and just trying it, any other thoughts?

Replacing it in zip and flashing is the way to do it. My guess is it is going to FC anyway. Could be wrong but will at least probably lose some integration supported by Touchwiz. :laugh:
It won't work.I don't understand why you and this guy: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/35342-port-request-touchwiz-cameracamcorder-for-aosp-roms/ are so hellbent on getting the TW camera. Yes, it takes better pictures but if you are really looking for quality maybe you should be using a DSLR or something anyway.

What he said. And also i don't notice a huge in quality of pictures anyways and i've been on AOSP jellybean the past couple weeks. All my pictures turn out to look really nice, or maybe i'm just crazy. The AOSP camera really is not that bad at all. Its missing a few features, but that's about it.
The TW camera just runs smooth already. Other camera apps lag or FC, or missing features. Its not a quality issue. I dont know why Samsung left the time lapse feature out.
And I do have a DSLR for my good pics. but DSLR is not nearly as accessible and ready
There are plenty of camera apps that are from the market that dont replace the TW camera. How can we make the AOSP one like a regular app like those?

Any help would be appreciated...

This is sort of a half baked answer because I'm on a stock ROM, but of the many camera apps I've tried on the stock ROM, this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.almalence.opencam has the best quality for still shots amoungst those that have panorama support, that I have found so far. I have not tested panorama yet. Its most likely that I picked it up on a free app of the day account.
Another one that does not have panorama but that is very good for still shots, the best one I've seen and is free, is this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lightbox.android.camera which I mention just because the quality is very good and when I've been on non stock builds in the past the camera has been the thing that has always brought me back to stock.
Hopefully the current cyanogen camera is of good quality, and its quite possible that the ones I mentioned front end the stock camera rather than hooking into it at a lower level. Its worth a quick try with the first one though; 15 minutes trial isn't much for a camera app trial but its a better offer than what those other phones have
Agreed ABC is the best camera app I have used photo quality is great.

So, i really love the SONY's Z3 camera app, but it hasn't many filters.. so i am looking for something like retrica.
I tried retrica, but wtf, it has been really laggy on my S4 mini, S3 Neo, and my Z3, is it normal?
Not enough filters? Check the extra add ons you get within the stock camera app... There are loads of them

take a look at Camera FV-5 or A Better Camera, i use both of them and think they're much better than the original camera app...
VSCO Cam.

Agree. There are loads of downloadable contents in the default camera app, with millions of filters to choose from!
Hello everyone!
My question is rather simple, which applications do you use as an alternative to the stock camera app?
I would like to hear opinions of people who have tried more of them and decided in the end for something else than stock.
Maybe also list pros and cons for each.
Thank you very much for your help!

We use stock, so...why do you what to change it anyway?
It' s very good.
Thank you for your reply. Personally, for me it's the interface where I need to go into Settings for any adjustment. Moreover, HDR is limited only to 8MP. And more choice when it comes to scene modes would be nice.

In PlayStore you'll find some alternatives.
Some are paid apps, but just read the Description and the Reviews, to make up your mind.

Thank you for trying to help, however what I'm interested in are experiences of people with different apps. For example, I was recommended Manual Camera app which turned out to be quite useless without the new API being supported by this phone.
I use Camera FV-5 and like it best...tried some others (stock, a better camera, google camera) and for editing i like pics art...

I search for another camera app too. The stock camera app doesn't include effect for high res photo (8MP or more). Also, it doesn't produce vivid color like Samsung/LG G3 stock camera app. Up until now, i use Camera360 in its easy mode.
Very usefull, and i think its better in some aspect (like saturation and effect).
But i'm still looking for the best app.
Try Snap cam. I use it all the time. It takes great shots
