Can someone share some GCam and stock camera app photos? - ZTE Axon 10 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello! Can anyone please share some GCam and stock camera app photos? I wanna see how GCam works on this phone, especially night mode. If GCam makes the camera on this phone much better, then I am buying it. There is a deal for 500$ in Sweden.

Which camera app is the best?!

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 donĀ“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?

Best GCam (Google camera app) for the xz2c

Hi everyone, i just get my new xz2c. I found this site where you can find a list of modded gcam apps. most of these apss are developed fot op5/op5t. But some versions run on xz2c too. And front camera bokeh works too.
Different modded apps have differente resolutions. The best version so far i tried is this one with these resolutions: Rear camera 8mpixels, front 5mpixels, bokeh rear 2megapixels, front 5megapixels.
Any feedback from other users?

Can't get HDR+ to work, but that's the only Gcam working for me.
Any Gcam for S845 available yet ?
I'm my opinion Xperia camera is pretty superior to any other camera app I tried, why use Google camera?
Selfie camera is better With gcamera
HDR is not really the bestest on stock camera.
I wonder if with the release of Pixel 3 with SD845, whose ISP should be confirmed to be used straightly on XZ2, situation might not improve.

Hm, I like the HDR mode of the XZ2 a lot. It doesn't look artificial, and just increases the dynamic range.
However low light performance could be improved if HDR+ can be used. That's why I would want to use the Google Camera. The XZ2 has a large sensor, so low light performance could be pretty good, even without image stabilisation.

This is kinda OT
Btw you have to go to manual mode
Enter the settings (the gear) and turn on HDR
Yeah, I know, it's totally nonsense putting this option there

Hey that's my biggest complaint about the cam app because we often need to switch HDR ON/OFF on this device.
Especially as I shoot in manual because I prefer its results than the auto mode, more natural colors in general and so much better for taking people faces when the light is low.
It's even more stupid to have to go into settings since they already have an HDR toggle icon right on screen in video mode. They could just put the same HDR toggle for stills.
Can someone create a mirror? Link doesn't work anymore. Thanks!
can u post the correct setting for the google camera cam for potriat mode front and back
Thanks, in XZ2 is the best Gcam too.
Worst quality in photos tan stock camera app but photosphere is cool
With the announcement at IFA, Sony will update the camera app. Sony they know that the software needs to be improved, and now the developers are working on it with a mirror photographic series Alpha.
it has been a while since this topic is updated did anyone check one of the latest updates with pixel 3 apk? there are some ports made for op6.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77819850&postcount=2268
my wife complains a lot about the stock sony cam, grainy, red skins in low light. so I cannot really test the apps myself
I tried some modded versione of Google camera 6.x
None works right now...

Wide Selfie or Panorama Selfie

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

Best Camera for RNote 7

I've found a lot of topics but none discuss in fact wich is the best camera app for Redmi Note 7 (Global Version).
I love the camera lens, but the stock camera app not so much... Wich one you thing is the best camera app ever for Redmi Note 7 Pro?
Paid, Ported, Free,...
I'm also very interested in this.
I've never installed a different camera app to a phone before, but the default app doesn't seem very good, and if there's better to be had I want it.
I constantly hear praise for Gcam, but it sounds like there's many different ports of it and no real clear answer on which one works the best.
Bumping this question, and ignoring the fact that the OP is talking about lavender and not violet, but are there any good Camera apps for the RN7P yet?
I've got the China RN7P and i've flashed crDroid onto it, but now that i'm looking into it, i'm having trouble finding a good working cam.
All of the Gcam ports i've tried have failed to recognize the 48MP rear camera, and completely hides the "Gcam settings" option so I can't even re-balance the terrible saturation.
I've also tried crDroid's default camera and Open Camera from the play store, both of which also didn't let the rear camera go above 12MP, and the pictures they took didn't stand up to what even the 12MP Gcams took (minus ruined saturation).
So is there anyway to get Gcam with 48MP and functional settings working on a custom rom, or is there any third party camera app that can recognise the 48MP on a custom rom and get close to Gcam's quality?
and if no to both of those, any idea how long it might take for a working 48MP camera to be working on a custom rom'd RN7P?

Excuse the messy living room pictures, and the fact that they're rotated despite being upright on my pc
but there's no difference at all, even in the properties of the images.
Pretty much same image quality, exact same resolution, and the settings still only says 12MP without an option for 48MP.
The first image is from 'camera' and the second image is from 'portrait' (which for some reason always takes pictures in burst mode).
Also I don't really know what level of quality I should be getting from the RN7P's camera, but I get the feeling they shouldn't be this visibly blurred and noisy.

I own the Chinese Redmi Note 7 Pro (Violet)
Back when I was on MIUI 10, the MIUI camera app did recognize the 48MP camera, so it does have it.
Unless I somehow got sent the Indian version instead, in which case, i'd be pretty upset because it also has worse bands for my country too.

I tried both the xtreme and fu24 versions of gcam posted here in the Mi 9 forums, but both of them still only let me go up to 12MP in the settings.
The xtreme version took identical pictures in both 'camera' and 'portrait' mode just like the other gcams I've tried, and the fu24 version refused to even take a picture in 'portrait' mode.
Use Gcam 6.1 And Click Photo in Portrait Mode after Select Photo without Blur in Gallery.
Portrait Mode Support 48MP.

It's a bit hard to tell if pro mode is actually taking 48MP pics with the current bug that puts out small resolution images, but hopefully that should be fixed soon.

Hey can you try the Gcam 6.1.021 Note7pro
I can't post the download link because I'm a New member sorry. ?
You have to use portrait mode to get full 48MP photos.
Also to get the best possible results increase the saturation to 1.6 in settings and in Gcam settings enable HDR+ for portrait mode and disable Zoom in portrait mode to avoid the crop that Gcam has on it's photos.

I appreciate you trying to help, but I've tried 3 different ports of Gcam 6.1.021 and one port of Gcam 6.2.something
Even in portrait mode, the pictures it takes aren't 48MP, I've even posted examples in this thread.
No matter which port I used, what settings I changed or what mode I used, all the pictures came out the same.
12MP, and a resolution of 4000x3000

Just a thought here because I might be wrong but could gcam only be finding 12mp because of the pixel binning? Essentially, from what I've read and seen the sensor combines 4x 12mp to create the 48mp. I'm running the rn7 myself and see no difference between 12mp and 48mp in pro mode apart from being able to zoom slightly more on the higher mp shot.

Actually, the main camera sensor is a real Sony IMX586 48MP. The reason you don't see any difference between 12MP and 48MP is because both the photos are coming from a same sensor. It's just that the former one is pixel binned to decrease photo size and capture more light.
I believe True 48 MP mode can only be accessed using proper camera libs. Otherwise you can only get the 12 MP Mode

Take a pic in night with both the modes in RN7 PRO with Sony IMX586. You'll see the difference. Not sure about samsung sensor.

OP7 Pro Panoramic Photos - Still shaky/distorted/not stitched correctly like 6t?

Hey guys
I'm looking to ditch my SD855 Samsung S10+ for the OP7Pro. But i need to know if the panoramic photos are sorted now. I had the 6T and always the panoramic photos did not stitch correctly and were all over the shop. I ended up installing GCAM just for good panoramic photo stitching as the OP camera software was rubbish - but TBH I would prefer to just use the inbuilt app if it works good.
If anyone can confirm the panoramic pics stitching is ok now with the OP cam app, then I'll drop the $$ and get the 7 Pro
Many thanks in advance

Decent. But panorama are not made for close up photography truly. Try a city skyline or something you'll probably find better results
Yeah, everybody lives in between skyscrapers naturally :good:
No such thing here.
I always used GCam for panorama on my OP6, the stock camera app was bad at panorama.
