Best camera app for Lollipop - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There are plenty of camera apps on Google Play, I'm sure you tested at least few of them since stock one is really basic. What's your experience? Which one is the best?

I'm using L camera from github. Manual controls, no bloatware. I know it doesn't have all the features most people use, but it does have what I use.

[Q] TW Gallery Replacement in and so on AOSP ROM

So this week I went ahead and flashed Liquid Smooth...overall I like a lot about the ROM. However, I have found a few things that I miss from the stock TW. Those things include:
The Gallery App - What I really miss is the ability to display social network photos (google and Facebook) and also easily use high quality versions of the pictures within my phone (ie. wallpapers).
Related to Gallery - The ability to view videos and pictures on my Co-Star (GTV) box at the push of a button when viewing on my phone. Instant big screen viewing...I miss it.
I know that TW apps such as the gallery and phone cannot be installed on AOSP...but does anyone have any suggestions on apps that may be able to replace those features? I have found Pictarine as a pretty good option for Facebook photos (since JustPictures! FB login no longer works). However I'm still missing the ability to push to my Co-Star...since it's not closed Samsung functionality, I figure that there has to be something out there.

For some things there just aren't viable replacement widgets out there, like Email., but there are plenty of TW based custom ROMs here that allow for unbelievable themes and mods which look and perform as good or better than CM /AOSP and still let all the Samsung features work or even add more features from S4 and Note 2. Its surprising to me how far Google and 3rd party developers seem to have messed the boat on good widgets. Of course for Google some of it is politics, they don;t want to be closely tied to for example Facebook integration, since Facebook is in many ways a competitor to Google. Its for that reason that I think the new "Google Experience phones will be a failure with most people because honestly, AOSP Google is pretty bland and has no good pathway to better widgets unless you intend to use only Google apps and not things like Facebook, twitter, etc.
For the Co-Star/ ViMu media player you might try some of the UPnP/DLNA compatible stream apps in the market

[Q] Unable to recover Stock Camera App

Hi Comrades,
I have some concerns with Camera Zoom FX app, I purchased it from store to avail its futures but noticed that it completely override stock camera app in my Androids, Nexus S and Nexus 4.
I uninstalled the app, but I couldn't find stock camera app anywhere, not even under disabled apps. It is completely gone! on either devices.
More over, when I installed the FX I realized that it doesn't have the capabilities to capture Video nor the stock app is visible to capture. I am little frustrated. I wasn't able to find any solution for this anywhere, I do know the last resort being to flash the ROM or do a recovery. I am not considering them as my options due to volume of data I have on these devices.
I want to remove this crap FX camera app and get my stock camera app. FX might have tons of features but its no good for my limited requirements.
Kindly help...
Thanks in advance.

Camera app?

Is there any similar app to cinematography lense on Windows Phone? Please suggest?
More camera application which can take different type of video and photos? Thanks to all
Unfortunately limited knowledge on Apps for camera but what I did was go with proven camera and its abilities and downloaded Oppo camera apk and plugins and works flawlessly and easy to use, it gives professional like abilities to user and gives 50mp superpower to the oneplus one and 4k video as well, download apk and install like an app then the plugins same way install like an app then select and use, remember to follow instructions and you be fine , for some reason can't post link on here (spam concerns) but search for Oppo camera/ plugins apk for Oneplus One and look for site that you feel most comfortable with xda is a great place to start . Good Luck

Get Cyanogenmod Apps?

I'm using stock Android but I'd like to get some of the apps available with CM like Eleven, the camera and the gallery app. Is that possible without using an app like this CyanApps (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maartendekkers.cyanapp). I'd prefer getting them elsewhere because I don't know the dev behind CyanApps, I don't know if he can be trusted and I don't know where he gets the apps.
Thanks!

I don't know why it's so hard for developers to give us a custom rom with no bloatware

i want a rom with the minimal google services and every other thing is available on the damn play store, you don't need to fill me up with google speech services as well as the google application, yet android webview and don't even get me started on google services for ar and the list goes on and on for the bloatware that we in the first place, abandoned the official miui to get rid of, rather the developers of pixel experience and arrowos, etc... are giving us so much bloatware, even the vanilla builds they have so much bloatware, what i want is google play store and google play services and i will and can download any other application that i want and uninstall anything i don't want on my phone, developers seem to be forgetting the basic gist of a custom rom, it's to get rid of bloatware from its roots, not to just hide it or even disable it, but don't have that kinda storage on my or active background processors i wanna have the best battery life, with the basic functions of my xiaomi note 10 pro, i wanna have the 108 camera application, the default miui calling application, it's very light, of course i don't want the buggy google phone app, it's very laggy and severely slow.
don't give me the google calendar preinstalled i will just get it whenever i want it, don't give me no option to uninstall the aosp keyboard, give me the bare minimum just to run this rom as light as possible, anything else i will get it i promise, if i couldn't get it, let me cry on my own.
everything is installable, but not everything is uninstallable.
i have tried every other rom, that's on here, they seem to be just copying and pasting roms with different names, we don't need a ton of useless roms, what we want is one rom, very miui like, but with no bloatware and i don't wanna hear, try xiaomi eu, cause i did, and as a matter of fact i am on now, it has a lot of bloatware as well, mi browser, mi calendar, mi weather, mi coin, get apps, with no option to uninstall any just disable. still the stuff remains in my system storage, taking up my storage for nothing, and i am assuming also draining my battery very minimally in the background.
if a developer can provide that, we're by all means willing to donate very generously. we don't want a bunch of copycats, i already said that, i can't put enough emphasis on it, though.
Cause we didn't leave miui indonesia and so on and so forth, to get buggy custom roms with a lot of bloatware as well, and also so much more buggy that miui roms, no rapid charging, no taking advantage of my 33 watt, no 108 camera.

This rom is very big with a lot of bloatware let alone unneeded apps. What I want is a rom that's very simple and minimal as possible to give me the best screen on time
