Slow motion video Google Camera app - General Questions and Answers

Hi! I recently installed a custom rom in my HTC One M7 and i want to have slow motion video, and i saw that the google camera app supports slow-mo on nexus 5x and 6p, and i want to ank if it is possible to enable this feature touching something in the app's code.
I have already tested a lot of ports of htc camera and none of this works with slow-mo...
Or if it isn't possible, what libraries should i port in order to make slow-mo working with the htc camera on a custom rom.

[Q] A better Camera App

Hello.
First of all, my compliments to everone that makes great things like custom roms, mods, and so.
I'd like to know if is there a way to mod/improve/change the camera app, so the shutter speed can be set.
Thanks.
Hello again. It seems this thread gained some interest, but no one could give an answer. What I asked was if is there any way to hack, develop, activate improved settings for htc chacha camera.
Videos are saved in 3gp format. Is there any way to make camera app to save them as mp4?
Pictures get blurry if the subject moves quickly, or you are not steady when shooting. Is there any way to set the shutter speed?
I don't know if the camera app can be disassembled or something, and hacked into make that things.
Maybe the camera app can be ported from another model that uses the same camera model, and can do that.
I asked HTC about this, and they answered "latest 2.3.5 version has many improvements", but none about the camera...
The camera is way better than Wildfire, which my wife owns, but I think it can be even better if the camera app is up to it.
Thanks for reading.
The big question revolving around this issue is if the cameras themselves are the same between the phones. It's not only the camera.apk that's connecting them, it's the hardware as well. Yes, there could be a possibility that the cameras are the same, between ChaCha and Wildfire (for example), but at the same time the proc or image sensor might be of a newer generation. Unfortunately I have no hardware specs on this, if anyone knows it would be nice to know.
Question: Do you know of any phone that has advanced settings inside the Camera.apk that allows you to set shutter speed? Would be interesting to compare them a bit.
In the camera.parameters public class there is a setting called scene_mode_sports that seems to be the only way to set a faster shutter speed.
I can't see it in my HTC Chacha/Status, and even lgcamera hasn't that option in the menu.
There is a profile.xml file that sets the limitations of the camera, but it seems people hack it to allow the camera to record movies in higher resolutions, because many times the limitations are imposed by the manufacturer and not the hardware.
Also, hacking the firmware and/or the drivers of a camera would allow to gain the full features of it.
This reminds me of people that upgraded the Nokia N900 to allow it to record movies in 720p, just by replacing binary files in the phone.
Is there an app that tells you what exactly hardware your phone has, and such drivers or modules it uses?
Thanks all.
Hello all.
I'm reviving this with some news. The camera module the ChaCha uses is a Samsung s5k4e1gx (http://www.samsung.com/global/busin...t/cmos-imaging/detail?productId=5622&iaId=220), the same found in several other HTC models: HTC Desire Z, HTC Mini and others.
It seems that in the Desire Z this camera is able to record 720p video.
I think this is determined by the firmware loaded for the camera, and the app itself.
I'd like to know if it's possible to port change the original ChaCha camera related modules and firmware from the Desire Z ones, so the camera can get taht 720p video shooting.
Also, I'm searching for a way to disable the auto light metering so a manual can be set. There are many 'better camera' apps in the market but they all seem to improve the original camera app itself, instead of getting the most of the actual camera sensor.
Thanks all.

[Q] Best Camera Apps from Google Play Store

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.

[Q] Laser Assisted Camera Focus Feature - Only With Stock Camera App?

Can anyone tell if the laser assisted focus feature is only available in the camera app that comes with the LG ROM? I installed some other camera apps, like Google Camera and Camera Zoom FX. I noticed that the LG camera could zoom in quite well on closer things with greater clarity, but some of the other apps seemed to focus faster, especially things that were a bit further away. I was only using the preview view, but this laser focus feature is a first for me, and I'd like to understand it better before I start looking at other camera apps or even other ROMs that may not have built in support for the hardware.
Laser auto focus works on all 3rd party camera apps I've tried. I tried out numerous aosp roms and even miui and laser auto focus works each time.
The laser support is found in the kernel, not the camera app. This means that a camera app simply asks the phone to focus and its the kernel tells the laser to focus.
Therefore if laser focusing works on the stock app (meaning it is supported in the kernel), then it will automatically work for any other third party camera app. If you are using a custom ROM/kernel that hasn't been tweaked to support the laser focus (most of them have already been tweaked to work with the laser however), then it won't work for any camera app including the stock app.

Camera app

Hi,
I'm looking for a good camera app for CM12 to replace HTC Camera app.

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.

Playstore ver only available to 5.4 while the latest one on XDA is 6.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/app-cameranext-modded-t2999275
Some guys also reported CameraNext Modded is a good camera on CM12, maybe give it a try too.

[Q] Still no way to record slow-mo on hammerhead?

L camera did 120fps back in the days, it's 2018 now and everyone gets slow-mo via stock or Google Camera mods or Magisk modules - EXCEPT US! Any new way to achieve 60/120fps on Nougat/Oreo for N5?
Interested in this.
However, what mods of google camera are there for nexus 5? I cannot find any searching on xda
