Hello,
do you guys have an advice for me if there's a camera app out there, matching the following points:
- HDR images with good quality (comparable to stock camera app)
- High-resolution (!) images with good stitching (not the low-res ones out of the stock-app)
- some more features than stock app
- maybe even a kind of photosphere-function
- in-built video-recording, so I don't need an extra app for that
Most of the apps I tried (Snap Camera, Focal, A Better Camera, ProCamera and some more) failed at the HDR-images.. any recommendation maybe?
Photosphere 4.3 download the apk and install it.

I will try that one, thank you!
.. do you mean the stock nexus-camera-app?!
I only can find Google's Photosphere.. it has the same problem as the panorama-mode of the stock app: low resolution
the stock camera app has the best hdr option, without a doubt. and yea, make sure that you use photosphere, even for just a regular panorama shot, its quality is much better than the panorama option in the stock camera app.
Noticed that already, yes..
But it's still tuned for speed, not high-resolution, quality (stitching and so on) is great though! Would be great if there was a High-Res-Mode for Googles Photosphere in the app.
For now I'm using the stock app an additionally a panorama app for up to 20mp-panoramas, that seems to be the best combination for now.

Hello,
App name: Vignette
I've found this pretty app which takes 2D full screen pictures(16:9). It really gives good quality pictures, try it.
Once you open the app click back button to see options and change them.
Note: Free version gives just 0.3MP quality while the full version gives full 5MP.
can also try pudding camera.
The Panorama camera in that app also gives full screen. Free app
default camera is bad?
Camera 360 is the best.

No matter what camera app I downloaded I couldn't get good pictures out my original Motorola Droid. But the same apps gave great results on HTC Incredible S.
Clearly its a matter of which phone with how good a sensor.
What top 3 Camera Apps do you think really change your opinion of your Phone camera
My List :
1. HTC Sense 3.5 camera (Custom ROM by NIK :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312021 for HTC Incredible S - Ironically my first choice is an in-built app and not from Google Play Store)
2. Camera Zoom fx
3. Instagram
Camera 360 is pretty nice in my opinion.
1)Camera 360
2) Instagram
3) Camera zoom FX
CAMERA ZOOM FX is really great!
Camera zoom is one...

Camera Zoom FX is a great choice
I also use HDR Camera for HDR shots or Camera360 as it offers lots of options as well
the best for me are both Instagram and HDR Camera+
Has anyone tried 'Camera ICS ' ? Lots of people on the forums mentioned this. It worked great for a while but then started force closing on my HTC Incredible S.
This app, when it was working, was definitely faster in focussing than the stock cam.
i think that camera zoom fx is the best app on play.
but cyanogenmod app je really great too.
Hi,
I'm looking for a good camera app for CM12 to replace HTC Camera app.
I know that there are a lot of app on the PlayStore but I can't find an app that have Burst mode , HDR mode and slow-motion video capture.
Thank you

You should try this:
1. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.lite
2. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magix.camera_mx
But on non sense based roms quality of photos will be very poor due to missing htc image chip libs (drivers) in non sense based roms.
Thank you,
Going to test both.
Why it's a so big problems to get these drivers? Why HTC don't give them like we can see in PC world ?

In the old time, you really need a stock camera to get the best quality out but I think now some of 3rd party apps actually done a good job without dedicated ISP like Snap Camera HDR(also supports video recording on our phone [email protected] 20Mbit).
I've been tested it(just a couple of days before) on One S and found result isn't bad for a non-stock camera, the older ver of Snap Camera HDR is bad quality but recent ver does improved much. I actually think that the quality is real close to stock but the zero shutter lag function doesn't seems to be working on our phone and buggy, don't enable it. I set the JPEG quality to best, disabled preview cropping, turn the sharpen to 10~ 15 from 5(default is too soft) and you may also want to enable Stable Shot as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35633104&postcount=1
Playstore ver only available to 5.4 while the latest one on XDA is 6.3

Some guys also reported CameraNext Modded is a good camera on CM12, maybe give it a try too.
Google Camera? Camera Zoom FX? The default? What's working for you?
Same question here, stock camera is okay, but is there another app that will save to SD card beside stock

I use the stock app for videos, OpenCamera for stills, Freedcam for landscapes using RAW mode , and Google Camera - if I want panorama or photo-sphere.
'A Better Camera' - will save to SD card. It is pretty nice - but I uninstalled it after I realized that the free version had a limitation of number of HDRs pictures it allows.

Using stock, OpenCamera, A BetterCamera. I like OpenCamera except it doesn't yet support writing to external SD.
My main complaint with the stock camera is that it seems to only support two resolution settings (and I am guessing they are the really the same resolution, just one is cropped to make 16:9 aspect ratio). Am I missing something? Is there a way to take lower-resolution photos (e.g. for web posting or faster email upload) using the stock camera app?
I use Camera FV-5.

Does it allow saving to the external sd on lollipop? As far as I know only the stock camera allows that.
Camera FV-5 I found does not work for some reason on the Idol. I start the camera and get a black screen. I do get the settings but nothing else but a black screen. I going to contact app developer soon about it.
The best camera so far (for any device) it's procapture because: it can silent all the sounds (except those in whats app), it can put the grip on and it can capture just by touch. Besides theese, there are many-many other settings as wb, iso, hdr, light mode etc

Your phone has to support Google's Camera2 API in order for the app to even function. Right now only a few devices even support the official Google Camera2 API. The ones I know of are: Nexus 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Samsung Galaxy S6, LG G4. Since the camera hardware is the same as my Nexus 6, I'd expect this app to just work, but Alcatel's software side probably isn't even written with Camera2 API in mind.
Could anyone please post photos clicked using stock and 3rd party apps?
In some reviews it's mentioned certain manual features (like shutter speed) cannot be controlled in Moto X style/Pure. Is it true?
true for stock camera. can't adjust iso either. the camera app blows.

Moto Camera app versus Google Camera, in panorama
The first attached file, is a panorama with the Google Camera app. The second is a panorama with the Moto Camera app. With Panorama, the Moto app does not handle lightt well at all. For any indoor panorama shots, use Google Camera.
And of those two photos. I can tell you from being there. The lighting in the room is very much like is shown in the Google Camera shot.
panorama is garbage on this phone. it's such a low resolution, it's always blurry never in focus.. it's god awful.

Try it with the Google Camera app. What I have posted here, is chopped down during upload to XDA and are not the full size photos.
Thanks for all the posts!!
Could anyone pls try the manual camera app and let me know if the Raw files, ISO, Aperture control etc. are supported on Moto x Pure?
I read somewhere that the camera apk2 is not included in moto camera app and thereby limiting some of the functionalities. Thanks for the reply!
Manual camera does not work. It crashes constantly if you try to change ISO or any of the other settings. I don't understand what Moto was thinking? Surely there is a way to provide a nice point and shoot experience while also allowing advanced settings if the user is so inclined. This phone has a killer Sony Sensor and the Moto Camera app handicaps it terribly.
I installed Google camera on day one and haven't touched the Moto camera since I experienced it's awfulness.

The Moto camera app is complete trash for panoramic shots. I'm not sure what they were thinking there.
I too have experienced the crashing apps from trying to change ISO. Bummer because I love using FV-5 and it is pretty much useless on this phone.

They flat out excluded the Lollipop Camera2 API. That is why nothing works and you get the crashes. Hopefully someone smarter than I can bake it into a custom rom soon.
Motorola excluded the camera2api for some dumb ass reason. No manual controls at all.
I use the Google Camera app, overall I get better results than the Moto crap app.

This is getting depressing. With things like this and the non-enhanced dialer. This is not the "pure" Android experience I was looking for. It at least this is resolved by using Google Camera. Google does not have a separate enhanced dialer app.

Open camera can record in UHD 3840 x 2160
I use open camera but with no stabilization I don't even really bother taking photos at all. Especially since even using flash produces blurry photos with the slightest subject movement. I've been very disappointed with the quality in that department. If your taking a still and nothing is moving even the slightest then the image is good.

You are saying that when you check the auto-stabilize option, it doesn't work for you?
To those that use Open Camera, does the stock gallery display the pictures taken? Seems that with the stock Moto camera, Google camera, and Camera MX, pictures taken by any of them show up in the gallery. Pictures taken with Open Camera? Nope :\

The pictures on my phone showed up under the albums tab, in a folder called OpenCamera on the stock gallery.
I wish OpenCamera had and option to save to the external sdcard though.

Hmm.. seems that I fixed my own issue. Under Options > More camera controls, if you have Use Storage Access Framework checked, it seems it wasn't having my photos appear in the gallery. With it unchecked, photos I now take are. Don't know the cause of that.
Right above that option is the Save location, where you can have the photos saved to the external sdcard :good:
