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.

Hi,
I tried several camera apps and there are many good ones. But i miss one feature which only is available in panorama apps and starts working from the second picture.
When i look back at the pictures, i notice the horizon is not always horizontal. So, i'm looking for an camera app with the level feature in it. For example it beeps when i hold the phone horizontal. Is there such an app ?
thanx.
Google Camera App - Released to the Public on April 16th.
I tested it with CM11 on Note 2 and works like the champ with only a issues.
Have you faced any issues with this camera yet?
Code:
Google Camera snaps quick and easy photos and videos, and has creative picture modes like Photo Sphere, Lens Blur and Panorama.
Features
• Photo Spheres for immersive 360º views
• Lens Blur mode for SLR-like photos with shallow depth of field
• Panorama mode with high resolution
• 100% viewfinder for getting the maximum resolution from the sensor (no dropped pixels)
• Updated UI that gets out of your way and is centered on an extra large capture button
• Works on phones and tablets running Android 4.4+ KitKat

Is it only me or the Camera UI is really ugly/simple/Looks like First Android Camera APK made by kid?

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...

Really loving the recommendations to turn the phone sideways when recording video, to push people away from filming the horrors of portrait video.
tested in my droid x. somehow force close when i hit the setup menu.

I'm not 100% sure where to post this, because I'm not sure if its Nexus 5 related. I did a good bit of searching for those complaining with the same issue and I've come up empty handed - perhaps I'm using the wrong search terms.
Basically, using Google Camera, if I rotate the camera from/to portrait and landscape, the UI and the preview take a significant amount of time to refresh to the new orientation. Is this the same for everyone? Is there a comparable app to use for taking pictures that do not have this issue?
Hello and good day everyone, these past few days my default camera app can capture up to 13megapixel and today, i just found out that it's stock in 8megapixel. But apparently Droid Info detected my phone having a 13 megapixrl camera resolution, i also download a camera app called camera 360 and it can also capture up to 13megapixel. I also tried to clear data and restore my camera app to default but nothing happens. Is there any way to fix this problem? I just want to use my default camera app, it suits me perfectly. Thankyou very much
