Hi all,
So I purchased the One for my wife, while I'm using the Nexus 5 on Stock ROM (rooted and all).
I decided to install a nightly build of CM of Lollipop 5.0.1 (unofficial). Doing so, I had the default Google camera app.
The only thing I can say is, "It's CRAP"!
The OnePlus has a great camera H/W installed, yet the Google camera app does it ****ty reputation since I got these 1 year old focus issues as I'm getting with my Nexus 5 on the same app. I do realize it's the app more than the H/W of OnePluse One. Yet , I was really in shock when I realized that the image quality and video quality are so bad that when you take videos, you see how the camera keeps hunting for focus on a bright day sunny day.
Is this something you experience as well? Do you have any recommendations on a good camera app that takes images without delays and no focus hunting?
Lets face it, the M7 camera ap is not much to put in the christmas tree.
Hopefully you will also be able to get better photo result with a 3rd party app ?
Which maybe have better auto settings etc, better auto exposure ?
I have tried the google camera app a little... it is a lot faster then the m7 app faster interface.. but I see no direct
improvment/difference in photo quality. But the Google camera app is good enough to replace the mediocre M7 Camera app, but I am sure there is even better ?
a better camera. Don't know if the photos are better but more options/tweaks.
Hi
I dont understand why people are complaining about mate 7's camera so much. It is much better than my old LG G2's camera.
I am using stock camera with no tweak. Really happy with its performance. I am on holiday with my friends and as you guess i took tons of photos and selfies, all my friend praised my phone's camera as having a very good performance.
I have tried an app called perfectly clear it brings superior quality to the m7 camera in hdr realistic mode.. A must have now... Must good hdr apps cost money...
Down side with the app is that you must hold the of steady since the app takes two pics and merge them so it takes a few seconds longer to take the shot but it's worth it.
Hi everyone!
This is something that has been bothering me (well, the only thing) regarding Mokee rom.
I don't like its camera app. I prefer miui 's camera app but I don´t want to go back to miui just because of the camera software as I'm loving all the rest in Mokee....
So, is there any really good camera app that does moreless the same job of miui's camera app? The one in Mokee is just so limited... and if you breed meanwhile you just can't take a nice picture, specially at night... I really have to stop breathing to take a nice pic at night with mokee's camera...
Which camera software do you recommend me to use? I tried several from playstore but none gave me the results of miui's camera.
Many thanks in advance
I'm currently using the cost free variant of HD Camera Ultra. I like its features.
I too am curious as to what other (preferably cost free) camera apps other Xiaomi Mi 4c users may be using.

I looked over and over and finally I found something that impressed me... Try searching for "DSLR camera". I downloaded the PRO version from Aptoide.
Finally I have a real camera... It's just wonderful.
I also tested HD camera ultra and didn't quite liked it also but this DSLR camera is just perfect for me.
Well thanks for the feedback anyway
Two other cost free camera apps

Glad to read you found an app that you like. There is a DSL Camera on Google Play Store (by Geeky Devs Studio) and I assume that is the 'pay' app you are referring to.
wrt cost free applications, there is also
LG Camera on Google Play Store (by RubberBigPepper). I played with it briefly and it provides a bit more control over one's camera than "HD Camera Ultra". I did encounter a bug with the white balance in "LG Camera". After one of my earlier pix, it selected one setting for while balance and locked on that even thou it was set to auto. This was very frustrating, although eventually I learned that to work around a clear 'bug' in the software, I had to manual change the white balance to something else, then go back to auto, before the auto worked (ie I managed to find a way out of some bug in the software's white balance auto setting). LG camera does have some adverts that I found a bit annoying - clearly they want one to pay for the commercial version to remove the adverts. I did not check out the cost to remove the adverts. Instead, I will likely remove the app. I can't see paying for a white balance bug.
.
Open Camera on Google Play Store by Mark Harman. I played with this briefly. I really like its autofocus implementation. Click on any object in the camera view, and the software will endeavour to adjust all settings (and not just the focus) based on a small area about that object. I found that kind of neat.
As noted, likely I will delete "LG Camera" and keep "Open Camera" and keep "HD Camera Ultra".
.
I'm using A Better Camera Unlocked, bought last year during 90% discount (was is christmas?) time just like this black friday discount.
I tested a lot of cameras like dslr camera, google camera, better camera, camera fx, camera fv-5, snap camera and so on.
For me camera fv-5 and snap camera hdr gives me the best results by far.
I personaly prefer snap camera hdr :good:
Quick question: Does the quality of the picture changes (does the post-processing algorythm changes) between camera apps, or is one better than the other just because of it's manual options?

Post processing algo could differ from one app to another of course, it's up to the app writer to use what algo (possibly user configurable). The parameters sent to the camera might differ as well, where that could generate different initial image from the camera hardware.
Is there any camera that can take instant photos like miui camera? Snap camera can but it changes to a lower resolution.
Try google camera... it's much better and also faster now
What is not OK with the stock MIUI camera? Works really well for me.
Miui camera is wonderful... Probably the best I tried... But as I'm sticking with Mokee I dont have access to miuis camera... Using google camera at the moment... Simples but works well...

Miui camera is excellent but if we use cm or mokee rom then we can't use miui camera obviously.
I'm using Snap Camera. The picture is much more better and clearer compared to other apps that i had tried.
just my opinion tho..
Snap camera is really good... Tried google camera but... Snap camera is to me the best option... Lots of options and best image... IMO better than miui camera.

Did you change around any settings in snap camera?
I changed ISO to get best PICs at night, steady shot is also very nice... Being able to Adjust brightness, exposure, contrast, sharpness while taking the pictures also gives a good improvement... Well among many other things I dont even know what they are for... Loool
But specially the night pics get much better...
Can somebody explain me, why Camera API 2.0 isn't used by most of the vendors? This is just ridiculous.
As for me, I use A Better Camera with everything unlocked.
Hello friend, but if you do like the Rom miui because you bought a phone Xiaomi?
Hi guys. I have been using my OnePlus 6 device since launch and overall I love it. The only thing I miss is the S9+ Wide Selfie camera mode. I looked and surprisingly there is no panorama app for the front facing camera. It really comes in handy for family group shots when on vacation. Anyone know of any solution to this? I'm seriously considering switching to a Pixel 3 XL for this reason. OnePlus really needs to add this useful feature to the camera app!
it's a hardware issue not a software issue, it cant be done by update
is there any gcam for redmi note 6 pro?
Hi, I've tried many different versions of GCam but this is the only one with a low level of noise (expecially in low light zones):
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog288/
It works perfectly, except for slow motion. Please set Nexus 6p as input model for front camera to avoid colour problems
With Experience Pixel rom, it works pretty well, the slow motion works.
I disabled HDR + and remove motion.
Night Sight works, slow motion works.
Must put in input model "Front camera Nexus 6P" because if no there are color problems.

GCam
Would you say either of these are better than the stock cam app?

I'm using it and it surely is far superior in my opinion in terms of the image quality. Regarding using the app itself is not such a pleasant experience i.e. the app is subject to FCs and sometimes the photos don't get saved on MIUI 10. However, there are quite a few apks out there and you can choose which works for you the best
Does gcam work on miui?
Specially night shots.
Is there any cam app that can take those night mode shots? Like the photos in honor 6x for example?
