Cam results?

Hi,
I got CM 11S flashed on my Chinese OPO, boot loader unlocked and rooted.
But the cam results are terrible.
1. Front camera though 5MP has better results.
2. Main camera, in Auto mode wit Flash set at auto, doesn't flash in darkness, if for some reason it does the pic results are so dull, creamy unsharp, despite that its a 13MP.
3. Flash sensor issues?
4. I got great results with Color OS initially......... and later when previously flashed CM 11 S over Color, they weren't that bad either..........may be by chance the the Color cam got ported over CM 11S?
5. So disappointed plan on going back to Color.
Any suggestions, recommendations,
Thanks.

Yeah, i'm not a fan of the camera. AT ALL.
Some things that bug me about the One's camera:
1) pictures look destaurated and color's don't pop.
2) exposure is too dark in almost all cases
3) sharpness is no where near my nexus's 5 stock camera.
Nexus 5's camera is MUCH better.
Unless someone can tell me how to improve this, I just hate the one's camera. sucks.

Thanks for the reply.
My phone's issue is cam sucks with CM 11S?

When I got it CM 11S with cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot OR cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed results of cam were not bad.
But with this OPO_64GB cam sucks.
Thanks.

For the camera, I don't know what to tell you, but it sees like you just want to modify the camera shutter and exposure settings to your preference. Or you can go into the themes/app section and reflash the stock camera.

I would have to manually over expose the camera EVERY TIME i launch the camera app. Annoying.
I've already installed Google Camera. The stock OnePlus camera and some other ones from the play store.
They all give the same results.
It's fundamentally a camera sensor issue.

Yea, that sounds amiss; personally, I haven't had any noticeable issues with my camera.
But shouldn't the settings persist though, so you don't have to do it EVERY time?

Am a a bit confused........does the Color cam give bad results or CM 11S cam?
Stock OnePlus camera and Google camera have similar results.....What do you imply by stock OP cam?
Is Google cam available at GPS, should I try installing it over CM 11S?
Camera sensor issues are with Color OS?
Thanks.

Guys, it's a matter of knowing how to use a smartphone camera properly. Point and shoot just doesn't cut it for all situations.

If you know how to use it, it is really good.

I've used the app Perfectly Clear to help edit brightness and saturation and have been very pleased.
Again, it's a camera phone. You can't expect DSLR quality. Great lighting is key with these sensors.

Woh simply too good.
Probably should reflash CM 11S.......... cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot.
Thanks again.

I have seen some complaints but for the less than two days I have had this phone camera has been wonderful.
Outside in good light is on par with most flagships in my opinion and low light is OK but have seen few phones that are better.
Been using slimkat with Google camera and response time is great with auto mode
Xda doesn't like my file sizes....

[Q] Nexus 5 iso selection

Hi,
I was trying to change the ISO value on my nexus 5 and I discovered that google camera has not this feature. Therefore I tried to use another app (Camera FV-5 light) that allows the ISO selection but is seems that this option is disabled on my nexus 5 (grey colour of the writing and nothing happens if you click on it).
Then I installed the same app on the nexus 7 and this option works allowing to select the ISO.....
Is it a problem of my phone or of all nexus 5 devices?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance for the help!

the reason why its not in the google camera nor aosp camera app, and grayed out camera fv-5, is because the nexus 5 doesnt have the capability, it isnt available for the camera. so it shows up grayed out.

Thank you for the help! This means that it is an hardware issues? Or there is the possibility that the iso control will come with a future update?
It is a little displeasing to heard about since nexus 7 has this setting even with a lower (or almost not better) camera.....

i dont think its hardware, i think its software related. but google is doing many new good things with the cam, lots of new code they are working on and that they already put out for developers to start working on.. i think iso will come.

I hope so! But sorry.....a further opinion (since I'm not an expert of hardware or software matters)...
If it is only software related, why if I change app (from Google Camera to, eg, Camera FV-5 light) still I miss the ISO setting?
Is it depend on the OS? But why on Nexus 7 with the same OS and Camera FV-5 light I'm able to do it?
Thank you again!

again, because its not enabled to do so. if not enabled, an app isnt going to change things(maybe a root app that changes system files). as of right now, it cant.

I have an app called "pro capture" which offers "exposure" settings to + or - 2. I'm not sure exactly what this does. Typically exposure is a combination of aperture, shutter speed and ISO.
ISO is a sensitivity to light. Exposure compensation in a real camera would adjust the the shutter if you were in aperture priority mode. It would adjust the aperture if you were in shutter priority mode. None of these are controllable on the nexus so not sure what this app is doing. Some sort of software post processing I imagine.
Here are a couple of shots with + 2, 0 and - 2

Is it worth buying the app? Probably not. I bought it for wide-screen shots but I only use Google now as it has higher than 2mpix wide now.
Does it benefit us in anyway? Probably not other than avoiding brightening a dark image in a image editor afterwards

Capture screenshots by holding the Home button. This app replaces Google Assistant.​

Save screenshot to the device
Share screenshot with your friends
You can find it in Google Play​

Hi. Nice app. But I am having a problem. Most of the time, only a white border will appear around my screen, but no screenshot was taken. I had to close/reopen app, or try numerous times.
Android 7.1.2, OnePlus One

Hammer, Thank you !!!!!!

Just to confirm, this worked perfectly on my Huawei Mate 9 running Android 7.0 Nougat with EMUI 5.0. Yes I know EMUI already has this feature built-in, but just chiming in to say it works

How do I return the long press to Google Assistant if I uninstall?

I have only one Problem, OK Google don't work any more.

Go to settings and search for "assist". You should find a setting to set the default assistant app. Choose the Google App.

When you change the default Assistant app, I believe you have to go into the Google App's settings once again to enable "OK Google" voice detection

This app replaces Google Assistant which is responsible for OK Google. Maybe I could fix it somehow. I'll look at this problem.

Wow, this is extremely responsive on both my axon 7 and oneplus 3.
I would definitely be willing to pay extra for a version with a scrolling screenshot.. This app is too good!!! ?? Excellent work!

You can see in 1st attachment, there is a white border, but after that, nothing happen. Also sometimes, very rarely, the screenshot taken after a few seconds that white border gone.
In 2nd attachment showing that I excluded this app from battery optimization.
If you cant figure it out, maybe a logcat can help? I can try to get it if you want. This app is supercoll because my power button will be dead soon, so Im trying to use my power button lesser than before.

Why is it targeting a website upon capture? I could be wrong but my internet filter is blocking it

Such behavior indicates that something is killing Screenshot Assistant.
I've seen on the screenshot, that you're using Greenify. Make sure Screenshot Assistant is excluded from Greenify's hibernation.

On oneplus 3 you can take a long screenshot. If you have an article it can scroll down and capture more than just size of screen. Like doing a panoramic pic but vertically

Interesting. It works only in a browser or also in applications like Messenger or Phone contacts? Does it work with Google Chrome?

Can you add status bar and soft navigation bar in the screenshot?
Thank you very much!

I'm afraid I can't add status bar and navigation. The app receives screenshot from the system after you hold Home button. System sends it without status bar and navigation bars, so I don't have a control over it.

Btw, great app!

Works well on my Samsung Note 4.
Shame it can't be installed on my Samsung Tab S2 or Tab A tablets, it says device not compatible. Is there any reason why you prevent it from being installed on tablets?

Pixel Camera Port?

Does anyone know of a google camera port that's working for the a7 (2018)? Thanks.

use the samsung s7 gcam port, works well with my a750f

It didn't work for me. Which version of gcam you are using?

It also didn´t work for me. When I tap the shutter it always goes to restart my phone. Which version and which settings do you exactly use, please?

I have read this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a8-2018/help/google-camera-galaxy-a8-2018-t3840838/page2 and in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77603383&postcount=170 there is this link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eKlaHEyw97QcOe8_6pgVmmLs0ho31KrK/view with GCam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666__N6_1.8.apk
It`s working for both front and rear cameras (with active HDR too). I have tested literally every option including video and everything works ok and save correctly.
But for some reason even if full 24MP are selected in the settings I only get 8MP pictures which is really frustrating. I`ll continue my search for better working variant.

I'm using Google Camera Idan 1109 ver. 3.2.9 previous SG7Exy_v8 (exynos).
It is important that don't use a flashlight, just turn it off and after install reboot the phone.
Only one custom camera app works. Stock and one custom that's all.
My conclusion even the phone has a 24mpx the camera works terribly.
I have xioami 4x and it bits this A7 2018 as hell in google camera photo compare.
I don't know why the 24mpx camera is so weak.
Wide camera doing a good job

Does the portrait mode works for you? For me it reboots the phone.

It`s working alright. Both for rear and for the front camera. Also with or without flash, with or without hdr. Also with burst series (taking pics as fast I can press the button).
As I said in my previous post I tested every single option to see if it`s really stable and at least for me everything works really stable.
The only problem is that it doesn`t save them as 24MP even if it is set in the options. It`s always 8MP size.

Strange. My phone reboots every time I select the portrait mode. Did you change any configs?

Nothing aside in the settings you can see in the screenshot in my earlier post.
The only thing I did may be differently before installation was to turn off the hdr in the build in camera app as per advise from somewhere. After that I went and turn it on and there were no problems at all. So now I have normally working samsung camera app and the gcam one. I can switch whatever I want in the apps and there are no problems.
I also have another camera app - CameraZoomFX (paid) with turned on Camera2 API and it also work ok with every available setting. I have even used them all at the same time to test what would happen - well nothing really. Everything works ok.

Did you enable camera2api on your phone is yes. How?

From here
Btw yesterday I have tried many other versions for exynos cpus but only GCam_5.1.018.177470874.41362666__N6_1.8.apk worked ok all around.
Most of the other apps crashed on the start or I got to the options but the apps crashed few minutes after that.

What app is this from?

I have already wrote it? Camera Zoom FX Premium https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom , but I think that the free version would also let you select this option.
Aside from gcam and camera zoom I am currently testing few other apps:
HD Camera Pro (paid)
LG camera 7.1
Camera FV-5
CameraMX
Open Camera
After more than 700 pictures taken side by side with each app I have come to the conclusion that as for sharpness, details and balanced light HD Camera Pro is the best for indoors and Camera Zoom FX for outside day and night photography.
This ordeal took me over a week to do but was worth it.
The only problems with all these apps is that none of them supports the wide camera, it`s only available in the integrated samsung camera app.
I still hope for some time in the future we will got our hands on fully functional Gcam port with wide camera support. And I think that it would beat all of the above apps. I hope it would happen sooner than later.

I think the same. I hope Samsung will fix this. Is it possible to disable bokeh effect? I hate it because details are terrible

Just install the APK or root is necesary to install API?

I cant open Gcam in my A 7 2k18 what to do ? Every time i tap to camera icon it say camera keep stoping close app !

@Kalpsmart7 I somehow missed your post so I apologize for the late reply.
This is my way of fixing the problem.
Go into the apps section to the gcam app and force close it.
Then clear the cache for the app.
Then turn off HDR into the main camera app.
After that start the gcam app - it should start working normally.
Then you can go into the main camera app and turn on HDR again as it would not cause any more problems.
But as I said in my earlier posts although you can set the resolution at 24MP the end result will be in only 8MP.
I don`t know the reason for this problem but for now it`s like that. If I find other working port I`ll test it again.

still have troubles registering my fingerprint. dunno what happened. it was pretty good until that previous update that was suppose to improve the fingerprint reader *shrugs.
gotta see if they have fixed this other bug that i've had since i got the phone. sometimes the auto rotate will lock onto landscape.

I had to remove all the stored fingerprints, do a restart, and with clean hands register the fingerprints. It's working now, one time he just wouldn't recognize anything, I had to restart the phone and worked after. But I have been thinking for a week now that it does pretty well (or I'm just used with the way to unlock, with a slight slide of the finger). But yeah, like you it was really a mess after the update! Registering without rebooting got the things even worse.
I think what they did with the previous update is lowering the sensitivity of the sensor, because before I always had "too many attempts done, please try again later" because it tried to detect fingerprint each time a part of skin touched it.

Are we going to get a new thread every month for an update? Wouldn't it be better to post in the other update thread....

this update change No. firmware only but some feture not change.

Few features have been added with tweaks

Improved Stability of connecting Bluetooth headset signal (especially in AAC connection mode)
Improve background control capability, optimize power saving of native system
Improve preview speed of camera interface and camera stability
Improve zoom framing and image quality
Those are the highlights according to the update page.
Some users are reporting back that fingerprint recognition is faster, and more reliable, noise reduction is better, Album is quicker, preview and processing speed increased, and 2x zoom is faster too.
309mb update.

"improve picture quality and zoom framing for the camera, as well as deliver a more optimized camera interface and a more stable shooting experience overall."
Is this true?

I still didn't receive this 55.0A.6.56 firmware. I am using TMobile in Maryland. Anyone knows when this is available? Thanks.

It'll release once the J8170 variant gets it. No definite time.
Check xpericheck.com from time to time for the update.
