Hi all, I've wondered if you guys use some more "professional" camera apps.
I really liked Sense camera with a lot of options like manual macro, manual iso, etc.
Right now I'm on CM9 and don't really enjoy stock app... I've got the feeling that it has too little options and takes pictures of worse quality.
Do you have any suggestions which app would do better?
The Sense camera app relies on the Sense framework, so installing that one isn't an option. You could give Camera FX a shot.
Thanks for help, I've been using FXCamera for some time, but suddenly on Market I've found CameraPRO and I think I'll go with this one. Anyone tried it??

This is more of a "state your opinion" thread, but what do you guys feel is the best camera/camcorder app? I currently use the integrated camera app in MDJ's CM7 build and do not like it at all
I haven't taken a look at whats available lately but the last one I used regularly was camera 360, it's still being updated too which is nice
camera 360 is great, the best in my opinion, but the fact that theres adds on a paid version and its saving advertisement and crap/spam to my sd card has brought me to uninstall it. Anyone know a way, other than running one of the firewall apps, to block this app from using data or doing this crap?
Why is there ads on a paid version?
Geez...
Have you tried something like Adfree? http://www.appbrain.com/app/adfree-android/com.bigtincan.android.adfree
Oh and the MIUI camera is pretty good and it takes widescreen pics too so the pics fill up the screen.
Somebody posted it in the milestone forums as camera.apk i believe.
I ma going to try a couple and let you know
+1 for MIUI. Its the best I've used out of any market apps or any camera I've used from other roms. It has some very nice options to play with.

vignette is the best camera app i used so far.
camera 360 would be 2nd best.
and if you want some effects then i recommend fx camera.
My vote is the Miui camera app as well....There was an update on one of the....well lets say its not on the market place...... It is a very nice update allows for anti shake, burst, color effect, delay snap, and silence, etc. Its my daily camera app.
Alright so I've been doing some searching and cant really find anything so here's my question
Which ROM Makes best use of the Camera Hardware for the Nexus S 4G
To go further into detail im an avid user of the Stock Camera App
I'm not much of a fan of these other camera apps that are just bulked up with filters and all that jazz.
The only Other App that i use when taking pictures is LG Camera which gives me a lot of features for controlling the photo before its taken
I've tried a decent amount of other apps like "Camera 360" "Streamzoo" "HDR Camera+" "Camera ICS" and obviously "Instagram"
I do know each app has its strengths and weaknesses i do switch around between most of them
But what im looking for is more Camera Control.
Theres a ton of apps out there but apps can only do so much with what the system will allow it to do so thats why im wondering if anyone knows of any roms that give the user the most out of the camera.
Example:
Jelly Bean and Cyanogenmod - Gives the user touch to focus which i love because ICS didnt give that to its users ( with the exception of a few apps)
Are there any other users out there who love taking pictures and have wanted more features and options to mess around with for there camera?
Do you know if any other ROMS possibly up the quality of the photos taken?
Are their any ROMS that Possibly Give me access to more features in my Camera that i can Manually Change and not have the camera AUTO judge what the best settings are..
I love when to have the options to do things manually like change the Focus distance, ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed. Things like that.
^ Probably best sums up my question
Any and all help is always appreciated. Cant wait to see if you guys can lead me in the right way

There's nothing, sadly. You are pretty much "stuck" with what you've named so far.

Thanks for the reply
The on-going debate about the S3's camera when using Touchwiz vs. an AOSP ROM made me wonder about the camera apps itself. Which camera app do you primarily use? Coming from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, I actually miss the AOSP camera app (where you have the touch-wheel that lets you adjust settings on the fly). The stock TW camera app isn't quite as intuitive (e.g. to change white balance, I have to press the Options button and scroll down through a litany of settings just to change it).
I've been tempted to try OTHER camera apps, like Camera MX. Does anyone have a preference?
Snap camera. Easy. Love it. There is a thread here somewhere where the developer is active in it.

I had been using this camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.camerajbplus&hl=en until getting onto 4.3.1, whenever I use a 3rd party camera, it's fails and then no app can connect to the camera, I have clear the cache and dalvik cache to get the stock camera to work. But if the the jb+ camera works for you I'd recommend it. I use this camera when I'm not in a rush https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro&hl=en (there's a lite version too I think) It just gives you complete control of your camera. It's great for arty fartsy stuff but if you need to take a quick photo it might not be the best the app.
Stock Camera
I use the stock camera, but I just downloaded VSCO Cam, I'll see if its any good.

KITKAT 4.4 From the best! sspencer10 best rom for 4.4 try it out hes doing a great work on that room 4.4 camera is running very smooth i love it but i alwayz keep my stock camera hehe

Actually I completely agree with you. It is fairly childish but honestly Note 2 on CM11 this app works better than the currently alternative. Hence my excitement
Missing options
i do have an issue, there's no panorama, and no photo sphere, even tho i have this options on my cm11 camera
Apparently Google is leaning towards "dumbing things down" by removing the more complex capabilities in some of their native apps by making them so simplistic as to literally become "point and shoot," especially with respect to this particular camera app. But when you think about it, the overwhelming majority of smartphone owners want just that: a device that works, that's simple to use, and doesn't require a huge set of menu options to just "point and shoot" and get good/useful results so, I suppose it's a winner in that manner for sure.
Tried it a few times, doesn't seem particularly special or useful over some other camera apps like Focal or others. Doesn't seem to do HDR natively and there's no option to enable it so that relegates this app to "ok, I tried it and then I uninstalled it" status for me.
For me its not better than LG G2 modded cam app.
The issue with me is that the CM11 Camera app gets stuck too often hence this is a great alternative
It is good, the only problem for me is when the flash is on and I tap to focus and than to take a picture theres a lag of about 5 seconds. Anyone have this problem? Also no HDR mod, and my camera have that option.
I'm having FC on settings option, on carbon kitkat in Samsung i9070.
love the lens blur mode. Any more cam apps that have this option?
I like it.
Yes the settings option does FC the app but honestly at this current moment, its better than the default camera app.
actually, the only setting i would change is 16:9 ratio, nothing else.
if some1 knows a shortcut for this...?
Good to know, may need to try this out, with custom roms i found a few the camera app always frooze or crashed

I've tried to change the settings thru the preferences files saved in \\data\data\com.googleCamera\shared_prefs\, but I couldn't change the resolution to the max, only the grid, flash, etc.
I want to change the "photosphere" and the "lens blur" to max resolution.
Any Idea?
let me try
Going to download it now and give a try in my grand i9082
I'll be trying it out on my Galaxy S2 with PACROM 4.4.2
Someone minds uploading it somewhere and sharing the link, I can find it on play store but it says its not available in my country I find that weird as its just a camara application...
Thanks in advance...

Go down to Additional Information for each app (if it doesn't show on mobile, revert to a computer) and find out what android version you need. Many require 4.0 these days (hence the coining of the term "ginger-death").
If sticking with this device, you may be ROM'ing after all. I would suggest starting with TBaldens CM 10.1. GimmeABreak also looks nice. If all you need is 4.0, then I would recommend CM9 (although I never used it, Sverhagens 9.1 version sounds more improved than the official).
Dam so this phone will be useless cuz most apps wont work I just kept it to for the camera had a baby so takes great pics and videos and awesome camera adjustment video settings any new roms that have the same settings?

To keep the HTC Sense camera, your options would be limited.

None I've tested, may want to do your research on them to see which works best for you.
Alternatively, you can do what I've done, and install CM anyway, and use a third party camera app -> Ultra Camera (theres a few, but UCam has a free version). Works well. You can see if you like it by installing the camera app now (supports Android 2.2 and up) and trying it out, taking comparison shots. Note that you will have to tweak the settings a little...when I installed it, it took 6MP pictures, where I have since scaled it up to the proper 8MP.
Hope this helps.
