What's your experience on 3rd party camera apps such as Snap Camera, A better camera, Camera Zoom FX etc. in comparison to stock google cam app? Do they perform any better in point-and-shoot scenarios? Some of these apps recently got support for camera2 API on Nexus 5. Does that actually change anything except RAW support and 4k video recording?
I use "A Better Camera", and shoot in "Super" mode. I took several pictures with the google camera in various levels of light, on normal and HDR, and took the same with A Better Camera using normal, HDR, and Super. Super looks hands down the best. When zooming the pictures in all of the way, you can easily see that A Better Camera's pictures taken as Super contain the most detail and most accurate colors. A Better Camera's HDR also beats the stock camera HDR in detail. For low light A Better Camera destroys the Google Camera.
Edit: Also, A Better Camera focuses better than the stock camera, and doesn't need to refocus every several seconds.
I do not use any post processing.

Just have it a shot and your right!! Thanks for the suggestion!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
I installed it and it certainly takes a better picture, but I cannot find any "super" setting.
Where is the super setting?
You need premium
Also, do I need premium for it to zoom? I can't get it to zoom like the regular camera does.
You shouldn't need premium for the Super setting. Tap the circle at bottom right to get shooting mode settings, and Super should be the tile in the middle. For zoom, swipe down from the top to get the settings menu, tap More settings (at bottom), tap Viewfinder settings, tap More, and make sure Show zoom control is checked. Then, when you go back to the main (picture-taking) screen, swipe from left to right to bring the zoom slider out.
Thank you for the clear explanations.
I found the zoom control hidden on left. I had been trying to zoom using 2 finger stretch like in other apps but didn't work here.
But super is not there. I purchased the app but as you see in the screenshot there is no super.....
Odd... yours has Night where mine has Super (2nd screenshot). Super was there for me in the free version too.
Well, at least I'm not going blind.
I have the latest version. Just purchased it.
I thought I edited my post to say I'd figured it out, but something didn't save... anyway, if you are running Lollipop, pull down your settings menu, tap More settings, tap General Settings, tap More, then make sure Use Camera2 Interface is checked. Then you will have the Super option available. (If you're still running KitKat, that won't work since KK doesn't use the Camera2 interface.)
Thank you.
I'm still on kitkat. So no super mode. ?
HDR, Full HD, Shoot either by Power Button or Black Screen capture.
It needs to have all this functions, Unfortunately I couldn't find a good spy camera like that, sometimes I find one but it never has all these functions together in one.
I use the traditional Spy Camera(The 4th one in Play Store) but it lacks the HDR function which motoX requires a lot for a good picture.
Hi
Someone know if it will have macro mode for picture and stuffs like this? Will it be better than note 5 for photos and video. Someome know?
Thanks
The Samsung galaxy camera is impressive in its own right. It shoots excellent pictures out of the box, with very little fuss. But it can do more. Much more.
Samsung actually pared back some of the features in the camera app this time around. That makes the initial experience easier no more overwhelming feature lists but it does mean you're lacking things that were built in before. Say, the ability to record an animated GIF, for one. The good news is these features are pretty easy to get back. Here's how.
First things first: You're going to need to have a Samsung Account to get to the new (well, relocated, anyway) camera modes. That is, you'll be downloading them from Samsung's app store. The good news is it's relatively painless to sign up for one (you can now use your Google account to do so.
Surround shot:
This is Samsung's version of Google's Photo Sphere.
Sports shot: Aids in taking pictures of fast-moving subjects.
"
Sound & shot:
This is a cool one that adds in a few seconds of background sound at the time you took the picture.
Beauty face:
Digitally adds makeup.
Animated gif: Takes a series of pictures 20, actually and stitches them together for animation purposes.
Rear-cam selfie: Helps the rear camera identify faces and auto focus for ... a picture of yourself with the rear camera.
Dual camera: Simultaneously uses the front and rear cameras for that front-back effect. Or, as we like to call it, Mullet Mode.
Auto mode (default).
Pro mode.
Selective focus mode.
Panorama mode.
Slow motion mode (for video recording).
Fast motion mode (for video recording).
Virtual shot mode.
For the front camera, there are 4 pre-installed Samsung Galaxy S6 camera modes:
Selfie mode (default).
Wide selfie mode.
Virtual shot mode.
Interval shot mode.
cool
Impressive
Very informative and detailed review. Thanks a ton
thanks a lot for the information.

[ Arnova 8.1 XML Configs ]
There are four XML configs for this version: FrontA, FrontA_shasta, FrontB and FrontB_shasta. If front camera white-balance fails in certain lighting conditions with FrontA, switching to FrontB is advised and vice-versa. FrontA is ideally suitable for day selfies and FrontB for night selfies
NOTE: Back camera performs the same with all four configs. Only front camera white-balance is affected
Download the XML Configs from HERE
To learn how to load XML files please see this tutorial
Create the appropriate path for 8.x version on device storage » put the XML file(s) inside "Configs8" sub-folder » open G-Cam and double-tap the black empty space around the shutter button » load config (switching between configs does not require rebooting)
NOTE: Android 11 users must grant full file permissions to Google-Camera in order to be able to load xml configs
Long-press on G-Cam icon > Info > See More > Permissions > Files and Media > Allow management of all files
For info about XML features and tuning, please read the changelog upon loading the configuration file!
Shasta is a bracketing mode capable of merging multiple frames of different exposures. Affects noise, controls shadows and allows for a wider dynamic range. Works only with Camera and Portrait (capturing is prolonged while active)
Some basic rules for better understanding of shasta in good light versus low light:
a) in good light, shasta generates more details, but may also add more noise
b) in low light, shasta generates more details, but reduces noise by a large margin
[ PRO Back Camera Tips ]
When shooting in low-light scenarios like after sunset or before sunrise, tap to focus on the viewfinder for a better exposure. Focusing manually will raise just the right amount of exposure for a perfectly balanced ratio between highlights and shadows
When shooting a subject with strong light coming from behind, tap to focus on the subject and slightly raise exposure using the exposure slider. This will ensure the subject will be well exposed
[ PRO Front Camera Tip ]
When shooting a selfie with strong light coming from behind or when shooting in low-light, your face may be underexposed. To counteract this issue, tap to focus on your face and slightly raise exposure using the exposure slider. This will ensure your face will be well exposed
[ Other Useful Tips ]
∆ EIS works only on 1080p ~Auto/30fps videos using ‹IMX586 QBC HDR Mode› video stream which is set by default for back camera. Only compatible with ‹Standard› and ‹Locked› stabilization modes ∆
For ‹Active› and ‹Cinematic Pan› make sure to set Video Stream Config to ‹OFF› from Advanced » Stream Config menu
For recording 60fps videos make sure to set Video Stream Config to ‹Video HSR 60› from Advanced » Stream Config menu
For recording 4K videos make sure to set Video Stream Config to ‹OFF› from Advanced » Stream Config menu. For smoother 4K videos HEVC must be disabled from Advanced menu ~ 60fps not supported
NOTE: Some ROMs do not support video streams for back camera and/or front camera. If there are issues with Video mode, make sure to set Video Stream Config to ‹OFF› from Advanced » Stream Config menu
To prevent slow-motion focus hunting issues, tap to focus on the viewfinder and lock AF/AE by tapping the lock icon on top of the EV slider ~ 1/8 not supported
For Astro mode there is a dedicated ‹Astrophotography On› button which can be enabled from Night Sight drop-down menu
{ AWB On } { Focus » infinity } { Timer » 3sec }
For faster photos with HDR+ Enhanced, set Image Quality to ‹Auto› (alternatively standard HDR+ can be used)
For smoother selfies with less facial details on HDR+ Enhanced, turn off Ram Patcher from Advanced menu and set Image Quality to ‹Auto› (alternatively standard HDR+ can be used or turned off completely)
IMPORTANT: A clean install is always recommended prior to using Google-Camera in order to avoid possible functionality issues with the app! First uninstall all G-Cam apps currently found on your system » install G-Cam » open it and grant permissions » close G-Cam » clear G-Cam data and cache » open G-Cam and apply the settings/config » reboot device
ABOUT 48MP RESOLUTION: True 48MP is not currently supported on any G-Cam mod due to a limitation in RAW Sensor/Camera2API. This mode is only supported in MIUI Camera. On few devices this hindrance has been tackled via Magisk modules which override that limitation. But on mid-range devices it isn't a viable solution because 48MP coupled with HDR+ will basically freeze the Google-Camera app due to processing power being insufficient. There are some older 6.x.x G-Cam versions which support a 48MP resolution on portrait mode, but it is just an upscaled resolution and not the real deal

This feature does not work on our device due to a limitation in RAW Sensor/Camera2API. And even if this limitation can be overcome, there will be serious performance issues because 48MP coupled with HDR+ Enhanced will basically freeze the Google Camera app due to processing power being insufficient. Google Camera is not designed to work with such high resolutions. Even on the few devices where it does work, it causes huge lags and also the viewfinder is significantly cropped.

This is ANX (MIUI) Camera, so of course 48MP mode works fine. It doesn't work with GCam.
The photos from front camera are turning me into an Avatar character. I guess the channels are getting exchanged? RGB <-> BGR ? the live camera preview is ok but the clicked photos are coming out to be so

This is due to color filter arrangement which is set to <RGGB> by default. Changing it to <Auto> will solve the problem. Better yet, use the XML config provided on 1st page.

Try it and see if it's good enough for you.
Hi
Just a few things I noticed. Sometimes the location data is not saved, the logs cannot be disabled. It keeps logging regardless of the settings. Other than this and the known limitations it's a good port.
L. E. : another issue that I found is that sometimes the camera doesn't take the picture. It focuses, when I click the shutter it seems to take the picture, but nothing is saved. I can't reproduce it. It happens randomly.
Cheers!
Has anyone tried Gcam version 8?

XML CONFIG: I have created an XML config for this version which is tuned for best image quality. You can download it from HERE
To learn how to load XML files please see this tutorial
NOTE: Switching between configs does not require rebooting!
AWB is disabled by default to ensure a straightforward and hassle-free user experience. Suits all indoor and outdoor conditions by rendering accurate image temperature and colors whether shooting in natural or artificial lighting
AWB On (Auto) is suitable for shooting in particular outdoor conditions where a cooler image temperature is needed. Great for capturing foliage with dark-blueish greens and generally recommended for blue colors. Especially suitable for cloudy weather and useful for framing the blue sky with a mass of water in one shot. Not suitable for capturing warm colors such as light-greens or yellow colors in general and great for neutralizing sunlight
NOTE: PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE XML CHANGELOG FROM MODS CONFIGS CREATOR!
[ PRO Back Camera Tips ]
When shooting in low-light scenarios like after sunset or before sunrise, tap to focus on the center of the viewfinder for a better exposure. Manually focusing on the center of the viewfinder will raise just the right amount of exposure for a perfectly balanced ratio between highlights and shadows
When shooting a subject with strong light coming from behind, tap to focus on the subject and slightly raise exposure using exposure slider. This will ensure the subject won't be underexposed
[ PRO Front Camera Tip ]
When shooting a selfie with strong light coming from behind or when shooting in low-light, your face may be underexposed. To counteract this issue, tap to focus on the center of your face and slightly raise exposure using exposure slider. This will ensure your face will be well exposed
[ Other Useful Tips ]
For faster photos with HDR+ Enhanced, set Image Quality to ‹Off› or use standard HDR+ instead of Enhanced
For smoother selfies with less facial details on HDR+ Enhanced, turn off ‹Use Sabre› from advanced menu, turn off lib patcher from Mods Configs Creator and set Image Quality to ‹Off›
For smoother 4K videos HEVC must be disabled from advanced menu ~ 60fps not supported
To eliminate focus hunting issues while recording a slow-motion video, tap to focus on the center of the viewfinder and lock AF/AE by tapping the lock icon on top of the EV slider ~ 1/8 not supported
[ Night Sight Astrophotography ]
For Astro mode there is a dedicated ‹Astrophotography On› button which can be selected from Night Sight drop-down menu
For best astrophotography results, set ‹Samsung S5KHMX› as AWB model for back camera from Mods Configs Creator and select ‹AWB On› button from Night Sight drop-down menu
