I have a xz premium that is unrooted and recently upgraded to Pie (a bit underwhelming...). Can anyone recommend a good camera app with a portrait mode. Play store says google camera is incompatible.
Many thanks

I think the original Android app takes better photos
The only problem with this app is the HDR
I installed the original app 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4, none of them has the HDR
Any way to solve this?
Anyway?
Hello,
do you guys have an advice for me if there's a camera app out there, matching the following points:
- HDR images with good quality (comparable to stock camera app)
- High-resolution (!) images with good stitching (not the low-res ones out of the stock-app)
- some more features than stock app
- maybe even a kind of photosphere-function
- in-built video-recording, so I don't need an extra app for that
Most of the apps I tried (Snap Camera, Focal, A Better Camera, ProCamera and some more) failed at the HDR-images.. any recommendation maybe?
Photosphere 4.3 download the apk and install it.

I will try that one, thank you!
.. do you mean the stock nexus-camera-app?!
I only can find Google's Photosphere.. it has the same problem as the panorama-mode of the stock app: low resolution
the stock camera app has the best hdr option, without a doubt. and yea, make sure that you use photosphere, even for just a regular panorama shot, its quality is much better than the panorama option in the stock camera app.
Noticed that already, yes..
But it's still tuned for speed, not high-resolution, quality (stitching and so on) is great though! Would be great if there was a High-Res-Mode for Googles Photosphere in the app.
For now I'm using the stock app an additionally a panorama app for up to 20mp-panoramas, that seems to be the best combination for now.
Google Camera? Camera Zoom FX? The default? What's working for you?
Same question here, stock camera is okay, but is there another app that will save to SD card beside stock

I use the stock app for videos, OpenCamera for stills, Freedcam for landscapes using RAW mode , and Google Camera - if I want panorama or photo-sphere.
'A Better Camera' - will save to SD card. It is pretty nice - but I uninstalled it after I realized that the free version had a limitation of number of HDRs pictures it allows.

Using stock, OpenCamera, A BetterCamera. I like OpenCamera except it doesn't yet support writing to external SD.
My main complaint with the stock camera is that it seems to only support two resolution settings (and I am guessing they are the really the same resolution, just one is cropped to make 16:9 aspect ratio). Am I missing something? Is there a way to take lower-resolution photos (e.g. for web posting or faster email upload) using the stock camera app?
I use Camera FV-5.

Does it allow saving to the external sd on lollipop? As far as I know only the stock camera allows that.
Camera FV-5 I found does not work for some reason on the Idol. I start the camera and get a black screen. I do get the settings but nothing else but a black screen. I going to contact app developer soon about it.
The best camera so far (for any device) it's procapture because: it can silent all the sounds (except those in whats app), it can put the grip on and it can capture just by touch. Besides theese, there are many-many other settings as wb, iso, hdr, light mode etc

Your phone has to support Google's Camera2 API in order for the app to even function. Right now only a few devices even support the official Google Camera2 API. The ones I know of are: Nexus 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Samsung Galaxy S6, LG G4. Since the camera hardware is the same as my Nexus 6, I'd expect this app to just work, but Alcatel's software side probably isn't even written with Camera2 API in mind.
I just got my Pixel 2 today and ran all the updates and my front facing camera won't do portrait mode. I can choose it but once clicked it flips to the back camera. There is also no Google Camera app downloaded or installed in the Google Play Store for my phone. I'm not sure what's going on or how to fix the issue. Any help would be great

More there is another thread about upgrading the camera if portrait was not available in front camera. I never had that issue though.
Found the thread
