Hello. Is there any port of Sammy or other camera app to N5? Stock is terrible in panoramas - it stitches worse panorama than my previous budget sammy and totally uncomparable to gs3 panoramas.

Since most of these oem cameras can't be ported onto aosp roms for the same phone, im going to say its unlikely. Try 3rd party apps or aosp cameras

I do NOT reply to support queries over PM. Please keep support queries to the Q&A section, so that others may benefit
Since touchwiz is a closed deal, I would assume that their apps that go along with it are also closed.

try doing a panorama with photosphere instead. its quality will be much higher. and you would need much more than the samsung camera app to make it work, youd need the framework, the cpu, and kernel support for it.
Thanks for quick reply. True - panoramas are muuuuuch better with photosphere. Not as good as with gs4 but good enough. Br!

Just pray someday Google will fix their camera software someday that is near.
It's a shame Google markets the camera like as if it's the best camera ever on the market. Don't market something if your not gonna make your camera software AWESOME.
Even the GSIV and HTC ONE looks crappy if you use an AOSP ROM with the Stock AOSP Camera.

Might be a noob question, but can it be done? Even if its not for the 720p video recording possibility, the galaxy S has alot of features within the camera app that are useful!
I was interested to know that too....
No it requires the touchwiz framework. There are many threads about this. Use the search feature before making a new thread.
Try the miui rom it has pretty much nice camera functionality or a third party app such as camera 360

Hey guys, coming from the epic I an missing the great camera options it had. Does anyone have a good app they use for pictures? I'm not looking for better output, but options like panoramic and whatnot.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions.
The stock ICS camera app can take panoramic shots, albeit in not very good quality. For a replacement app, I'd recommend Camera zoom FX (was on sale for 10 cents awhile ago). It really depends on what features you're looking for though.

Camera360 another good one. They have free verson
Has bunch features like touch focus

Camera360 as well here
I use an app called "Pano" for panoramic shots.

lgCamera is also a good, free alternative with lots of options.
Is there one with zoom, or is that not possible on the nexus a 4G?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
I'm using Camera Zoom FX and Vignette. Both are very good i think.
Both have a Zoom but of course only a digital zoom.
If you don't have a zoomable lense (nexus phones dont have) then only digital zoom is possible, which has a poor quality and you can do better yourself on your computer.

You realize since it's a fixed lens that any zoom will only be digital? Thus it's simply like cropping a larger picture to see a smaller section...
Edit: Didn't notice blackg3cko already mentioned this. My bad.
Hello,
How are you?
SInce I am using my note a bit more to take pictures, I was wondering if there is a camera App that is better than the stock camera in regard to overall image quality, either by lower compression of files, or by better use of the camera hardware.
So, dear note users, what is your take on this?
Thank you.
Cheers!
I use as photo application Camera ZOOM FX https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom is very good camera App :good:
I'm running Paranoid Android and find the stock Camera to be pretty poor. The best alternative I found is:
Pro Capture
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neaststudios.procapture&hl=en
I should say though, that the stock TW camera is better.
CameraZoomFX is good if you plan to add effects and stuff to your pic's. if you want a more DSLR/professional like handling of the cam app and .png files instead of .jpeg, you should take a look at FV-5 Camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.lite there is also a paid version with even more features.
I'm using Pudding Camera and it's really cool but the stock app in TouchWiz is enough for daily use.
I use the Camera X or even the Shot Control Camera.. They have many customizable options like a pro at your finger tips
I am using shot control too.
Dev seems responsive according to comments.
Have emailed regarding geolocation support and custom folder support.
Other than that, it is a pretty sweet app that allows you to access features on the main screen.
So you can control ISO, and exposures, and focus modes easily.
You can also map to hardware keys.
The Note's large screen does help a little here.

@Markuzy Totally agree with you.. Shot control screen is just great on the galaxy note considering the screen size. The feature request is also just what i was looking for.
Is there any mod for the camera on the note? Like there is for the HTC One X?
Cheers

Honestly my dream camera app will be something that can do everything from HDR merging to fast capture to panorama.
Unfortunately I have yet to find an app that does all that. Only the individual apps for each feature can be found.
One thing I found out is that localized touch focus on Gingerbread Galaxy Note is proprietary to Samsung while it is native to ICS.
This may be something that you are missing out on 3rd party camera apps unless you are on ICS already.

Try Camera FV-5. It has all controll on the screen.

I really like the camera functions and modes on the stock TW. However I have been trying out various AOSP roms and I feel that the camera quality is not the same and the modes for the AOSP camera dont seem to work very well like the TW do. Has anybody compared them? Or is it just my imagination?
Aosp camera is not as good as tw one

This has always been the case for me. It sucks since I do enjoy aosp. But the Samsung camera on the s4 is really nice.

I was in the same situation with my old htc inspire. The sense roms had the best camera but the aosp, aokp, even miui couldn't compare.
Sent from my GS4
I wish there was a way to get the best of both!

When I had an AOSP rom running, I clearly noticed the downgrade in camera performance. For one thing, AOSP took about 1-2 seconds to snap a shot, whereas the TW rom (which I now have loaded) was pretty much instantaneous. The quality of the photos was lacking on the AOSP rom as well.
Yeah that would be awesome to have a TW camera version on AOSP, because I really do like everything else about AOSP.

You aren't alone.
I loved using aokp by task but unfortunately the camera was sluggish and slow compared to tw camera.
So I switched over to cleanrom which is essentially stock with all the bloatware gone. Thankfully scott was able to make it happen. Even now, I am using tw camera. I could care less all the features in tw camera but the quality and speed are very nice compared to aokp's.
one of the reasons I'm sticking with a TW rom.
As much as i love the camera on TW, I just can't stand the legginess on tw.

AOSP camera has and will always be garbage. That's the only thing that keeps me coming back to TW or any stock rom on my devices. it just so awful, there's really no comparison between any stock rom camera and the garbage AOSP camera.

Try flashing the Google Play edition ROM, camera app is flawless. It literally takes pictures just as good as the touch wiz camera. And you get working photosphere

What ROM is this? I would just like the camera app to compare.
Ignore-
thought one of the previous pages was the last page...my question has already been answered
You can download and install the Nexus Experience camera (without ROOT may I add) on your stock rom. It works perfectly. I really love the fact that I can use my TW camera and when I feel like using PhotoSphere or something I can just open the other camera. You can download the file in the link below. Just installs like any other APK

::grabs popcorn:: i'm watching that thread
The aosp camera takes just as good of quality photos as the touchwiz variant. If you doubt this statement then show me proof. I use cm10.1 on this device and I've got a pretty good knack for photography owning a nicer Sony nex.. So understanding the settings and your environment is most important to capturing a good photo.
Guys, don't believe the fluff around the touchwiz camera, its not any better - its the same hardware and that's what matters.

So what youre saying is that I will get the same exact picture with either camera? I have tested the newer AOSP cameras and it has gotten better but I think on a few modes, like for example night mode, pictures do come out better on TW. Please clarify this because im itching to stay on AOSP and the camera is one of the biggest falls for me to stay on TW.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Any comparison must include not only sample pictures/video but also account for the user experience while in the camera app. If AOSP cameras take longer to focus and snap pictures, that means the experience using the camera is worse than on TW, even if the actual pictures are equal in quality. It's all subjective anyway. (objective? I always mix those two up)
Comparing the two is like trying to compare SLCD to Super AMOLED screens. You will never ever get everyone to agree one is better than the other and the debates will go on and on.
NEW: LGCamera Port for Android 4.3 ALL and i9500/i9505
Hi Guys,
I have compiled the latest LGCamera App and its supporting depedancy libraries to make it work on Android 4.3 General ALL and i9500/i9505. This is a tested package and All the features are working as expected. Device to Device features might work or might not work.
"BSDgeek_Jake_LGCamera_Port_AndroidGeneric4.3ALL_i9500_i9505_CWM" to be Flashed from CWM recovery.
"BSDgeek_Jake_LGCamera_Port_AndroidGeneric4.3ALL_i9500_i9505_MANUAL" to be extracted to '/system' and manually set permissions to '0.0' (root:root) and '644' (rw-r-r). You might want to use "Root Explorer" to achieve this or your prefered explorer which has root capability.
NOTE: Before doing any modification to your device, please Remember to take Backup for your Device through CWM. Although i have tested this package thoroughly and found no issues BUT I am not responsible for any issues which might arise.

2. no possibility to chose external SD card and it places pics always on internal SD.

For second one,
Since this has been taken from LG G2 & G2 doesn't support External SD, Camera app doesn't have save to External SD option.

Google Play Edition requires a seperate modified LG Camera App since it's completely AOSP based or Pure Android.

Shutter sound bug is default problem part of Samsung firmware. Not camera app problem i think.
