Best alternative app to take time lapse with P20 Pro - Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

Ciao everyone
Since in the settings of the camera stock there is no way to change the time lapse setting, I would like to know if you know any well-functioning app on our P20 Pro capable of giving a good quality of shots and recordings about time lapse with some "pro" features like ISO, etc.
In Playstore seem there's no so good alternative...
I ask because I would need to create a Time Lapse of night sky, during 5/6h with 1 shot every 20 seconds.
Thanks for your advise and support!

It's not a camera application you should be looking for, it's a intervalometer and this one is the best out there as it works with any camera application of your choice. I'm using it myself for timelapses and more.

camera app for tab with autofocus?

Does anyone know a camera app that uses the full screen of the tab?
With the integrated camera app not using autofocus it is mostly useless to me since i cant read any text i photograph.
I tried several other apps. They all use the autofocus and it works great, but they dont utilize the full screen of the tab.
The camera app in JM6 features touch-to-focus, and I have no problems making photos of text. Maybe i could post the apk + odex files, for testing on stock firmware.
Yes, the app works fine, its me that didnt function correctly.
You just have to hold the button down, it will autofocus and beep when done.
Thanks very much for thay info now alsi i Focus.

Another strong user of Vignette here.
I posted a topic on the use of Vignette over the stock camera App.
Vignette has so much more to offer and one special mention has to go with 'Zoom'. As you all know the default camera has no zoom but id you use Vignette it uses a very clever 'live crop' tool that works very much like a zoom.
An added benefit is you get to see the surrounding area you are cropping out of the shot..... AND the shot taken is so, so much better than the default camera App.
Much greater detail, cleaner, sharper focus and better colours.
Next is the settings..... there is an absolute MAMMOTH of settings to choose from.
I have one customized that gives me an 'ND Filter' at a touch of a button.
In my experience, if you're looking for the most options & filters, then Vignette is the way to go. But if you're looking to take the best possible "normal" photos, Camera360 is tops for that.
I don't know what it is, but Camera360 shots ALWAYS are clearer & much more detailed/cleaner looking in comparison shots against Vignette.

I must confess, although I have great admiration for Vignette, Camera360 Ultimate definitely does have some very good settings.
Of particular value I find the 'Tilt-Shift' to be fantastic. I also like the focus settings with it's 'Manual Focus' where you can focus on a subject then move the camera to another subject to throw the focus out.
So, my recommendation for photography would be Vignette & Camera360 Ultimate for taking the shot and Picsay Pro to post edit for even better image processed results.

Blurry picture

Hi guys,
is there a fix for the blurry pictures that come out of CM Camera?
With auto and ISO HJR, I've often blurry pictures..
is there a fix to lower shutter time? it's a shame to have such a good sensor and a bad software under it...

XNPH44S stock
The camera prefer to have low ISO and too high time exposure so it takes blurry picture
Please try out the "Sport" and "Action" mode if you haven't already. Those might yield the result you are after. I've also notice that OnePlus's camera requires some steady hands to achieve blur-free pictures. If possible try getting a mini tripod for it and boom problem solved. Or if you don't want to make any other purchase, go grab the "Perfectly Clear" app from Amazon app store (for free right now), the app features a very effective anti-shake feature that helps alot (from my experience) plus other good features that the stock camera app lacks. Let me know how it works out for you
I'll try perfectly clear... I hope cyanogen team will fix his camera app

[APP] [3.0+] Selfio - HD Selfie app

Selfio is a unique app with a patented idea of using front cam of your device to frame and back cam to shoot the same image.
Frame your selfie using front cam.
Flip such that back cam faces you
Device senses flip and shoots your selfie in HD with flash if needed.
It is available on play store now and will soon be available on app store too. Please download and tell me what you guys think. It uses magnetometer to sense flipping. Working on gyro sensing now.
Nice app but most of the time the delay is very long and picture gets blurred by moving the device. There should be a help section or tutorial.
nice
Great app work but sometime fails to give hd image.Quality is not too fine,,as it delays while capturing image.
Thank you guys

Anand, have you tried setting resolution to maximum inside the settings? also, can you share what device you are using? Because we are aware of a bug on Nexus 5 and a few other devices and we are fixing it with next update.

Thahim, thank you for your comments. Can you let me know what device you tried it on? Also, help is inside the settings gear. We are trying to design a better design for the tutorials.

Nokia 7 plus GCam mod for Android P (9.0) Dev Preview

Greetings fellow 7 plus users!
I've seen some requests here and (mostly) on Nokia community forum for a working GCam port on Nokia 7 plus Android 9.0 Developer Preview, which is a pretty fair phenomenon, since the stock Nokia camera is still a bit unpolished (ridiculously high exposure and lack of shadows for me). While there weren't 100% working ports, today I found a nearly perfect version on a GCam port repository website (URL: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/). I tried many apks, but this was the single one in which I couldn't find any major bugs. Also worth mentioning that portrait mode and HDR+ works fine as well. There is also well-functioning portrait and slow-motion mode. The only minor bug is a small "5 second burst" pop-up text always visible in normal camera mode, but that is an acceptable compromise in exchange for the working functions. Also, sometimes the photos are a bit brighter than they should be. I guess it requires some tinkering in the settings, but I didn't have too much time to actually find out what causes it. As soon as I find the fix for it, I'm going to update the post.
C R E D I T :
The port was made by @fu24 based on @Arnova8G2 's port. Colossal thumbs up for them.
P H O T O S :
Also, I attached 3 sample photos. The first one is a normal image in Auto-mode taken with the stock Nokia camera app, the second is also a normal photo in Auto-mode taken with the GCam mod app, while the third is a portrait-mode shot. As I said, the brightness is a bit too much, but the details are fantastic. Hint: it's worth taking a look at the sky and the reflections on the car when comparing the two images.
Stock Camera Sample Photo
GCam Sample Photo
Gcam Portrait Sample Photo
D O W N L O A D S :
The APK can be downloaded by searching for "GoogleCamera-Pixel3Mod-Arnova8G2-V3_Aux-4.02.apk" (without quotation marks) on the following URL: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

I think maybe someone wants to try to use the second back camera. You can switch lens with the "Toggle back camera ID".
But I can't guarantee that it is suitable for Nokia 7 Plus. I must explain that I am just a beginner with limited ability. I really don't have the ability to fix other problems.
To use the second back camera, if the phone does not even report all cameras through the Camera2 API ( Includes second back camera ) (use Camera2Test app to verify your device info). You need to install the zoomfix module.
I tried that option, but it resulted in force close. :/ The highlight/shadow saturation options might refine the photos though, I'm going to try them later today.
Edit: Tried it. Increasing both value made just the perfect photo.
Also, unfortunately I can't install zoomfix due to the lack of bootloader unlock possibility.
I posted in another thread what I probably should've posted here, but I didn't see this thread until later.
I think the 7 Plus has the same camera sensor as the X4 (based on research and sensor data).
Here's the variants that work best for our sensor. I'm thinking you may have luck with the following versions of the Google camera:
This version is excellent in low-light and general photography. This is the best version as far as noise and color accuracy go, it's superb. It's also very easy to set up. Simply set your desired HDR+ quality, and that's it.
And this second version I use as a backup, because sometimes the other camera port will drop shutter speeds indoors for better lowlight performance.
If I'm right about our sensors being identical, you should have good results. The lens on the 7 Plus is even better than the X4, so I'm excited to see what images can be captured. Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be completely Android P compatible (of course, since it's just a dev preview). Slow-mo crashes the app, and sometimes portrait too, but other than that it's a working version with nice results.

Gotcha; that worries me for once P lands on my device. Stock vs. the Google camera ports is no contest, and I don't see that changing. Good luck with the 7 plus.
Which version work's for you guys on P beta?

It's not working, the Portrait mode is not capturing the bokeh effect. When the motion is on, after taking snap the app gets crashed.

Question Camera Port or alternative

Hey folks,
is there any chance to port the camera app from the Vivo Pro series? Or does anyone know a very good alternative?
The Pixels camera app is quite simple and i didn't find any good solution so far.

What exactly are you looking for in a camera app that Pixel doesn't have?
There is a chance for a camera port, will it happen? I doubt anyone will bother porting a camera app from another OEM TO A PIXEL device. lol
Did you ever had a chance to use a vivo camera app? I like that handling very much. It also has some features, that even the gcam apps dont have. Like Showing the level, or different panarama modes etc. Adding live LUT filter is also very handy...
