I want to buy the honor 8 but I am not sure if the photosphere images from Google camera are good. This is the most important thing in a phone camera for me.
Has anyone tried it yet? The photospheres on my current Redmi note 3 are a blurry mess
Also can anyone please share a photosphere picture here from the phone so anyone who is on the fence like me will find it useful
looks good imo

I must be dumb, how do you find the photo sphere feature ?
I'm running EMUI 5 on my Honor 8, can't find it. Also tried the google camera app, but it crashes when I launch it...

Oh thank you ! I was really dumb, last time I used that feature was so long ago (on my marshmallow nexus 5), at the time photo sphere was directly integrated into the camera app.
Anyway, thanks
Hi, this picture was taken by my honor 8!

Hello
Is there no one who can optimize Snapchat for our Honor 8? The H8 has a great camera and it's sad to see Snapchat not getting everything out of it. Is there any developer here who can do something about it? I know my best option would be contacting Snapchat but I doubt they will do something about it.
Wrong section. Post your question in Q&A. Thanks.

According to Snapchat their app has issues on the Android platform itself. Snapchat is planning to rewrite the Android app for the platform. This is what happens when you're not OS agnostic.
Currently, I doubt anything can be done about it since Snapchat is a closed source app. Unless, of course, some of the Jedi hackers on XDA are able to optimize it with the power of The Force.

Snapchat is rubbish anyway.
The thing is on Android because of the different kinds of hardware snapchat uses this bizzare way of optimising per device. It limits the resolution of the video or photo taken to the resolution of the screen. So for instance even if I had a high end phone with the best camera but with a 720 or 1080p display and my friend has a mid range phone with a 1440p display he'll definitely have great quality. The Honor 8 usually takes photos at a much higher resolution and snapchat just doesn't let it do so.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
Some Samsung are making good photos even with Snapchat on zoom per example but with my Honor 8 if I zoom something it sucks
I don't use SnapChat, but everything I've heard about it indicates the programmers of the Android version were lazy and just take screenshots while the camera is on instead of actually using the camera to take the picture. That's why the resolution sucks and you get such poor quality when you zoom in. It is not a full resolution picture.
However, the weird spinning issue you have is likely due to the Honor 8's jacked up gyroscope. We can't use VR apps because of it. It seems to affect 100% of Honor 8's yet no update is coming to fix it. Not a high enough priority, I guess.
I read that Snapchat is going to rewrite the app from scratch on Android is this true? And when it will come out?

Yes. B394 Honor 8 running Android 7. I don't have any trouble with it and didn't have in previous versions of EMUI either. Tested with 360 Youtube videos.

I don't use Snapchat, but if they don't work it is totally because of the Snapchat's poor coding.

Yeah the app is pretty poorly developt for such a big company. But the 3D figures work perfectly on the honor 9 of my friend so i think it might have something to do with the messed up gyroscope of the honor 8. I hope honor will fix this in Android oreo but i dont expect it to happen. Sadly.

try this one.. working on my 9 lite
What was your experience with this port? On my phone it installed properly, but taking a picture lasted forever, and then other apps couldn't access the camera. Only after rebooting could I use any other camera app. Details of this one picture I took were however much better than taken by a regular camera. I had to uninstall the port.

Go to Netflix click on account it will take you to browser and your account, go to playback settings and select high , now swipe Netflix away and restart it turn brightness up at least 75% choose a hdr film it does take a few seconds for the quality to render up ,, best over wifi i have found for testing,,,,, some films look amazing some don't look as good in parts but it's deffo hdr.... You can always switch on your network speed in the icon bar to show how much data it's downloading ,, it's more data for hdr .. Here's apic of settings
Its not really a Mod Version -_- Just the first 5.X Version that had HDR Support.
The newest Version from the Store shows only HD, but I Compared them and all tough it doesn't say HDR it seems to be HDR.
Im sure an Netflix Update will come and it will show it properly. I also got the EVR-AL00 8/256 and received the HuaweiUpdate.

Yes, I could still click the button on the right to change the zooms. Also it's very easy to change the zoom by slide-up or slide-down anywhere in the camera screen.

Which configuration have you set up? I´m trying it and black screen on EMUI 9
This is what I'm using and it's working pretty well for me so far.
Using EMUI 9 here.
that worked, thanks.
Set to "Pixel2018 HW Zsl Hdr(need YUV)" and no black screen. ?
It work but still no HDR+
It works but still no Night or portrait mode. Any config idea?
No ideas at the moment.
Been wondering myself if there's a way to get them to work.
Fabulous, yes HDR+ doesn't work but finally its the end of the Huawei heavy post-process, I tried and love the softness of pictures, ability to choose the quality of pictures, noise reduction etc...
Btw "normal" Panorama (not 360) is super laggy, but works.
Big thanks for the share, I was really waiting for it!

P20 pro's camera is great enough. A gcam port is just useless imo.
Let's be honest the 7 Pro is not a very good camera right now. We all know with OnePlus it will take a few updates to get the camera where we want it. I was wondering if the Gcam apk is a better alternative right now or is it still in development for the 7Pro??
Don't know about you guys, but I been taking really good photos with it. Stock app and not even Nightscape.
