[Q] What camera app are you using on your idol3?

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.

moto 360 camera

I'm not sure if there are threads for the 360 mod camera already, but i haven't seen any here on moto z2 play. I just recently got this mod, and very impressed by it. Any way we can use it for other apps or probably used in any videochat app?

I own the mod and a z2 play, while I havent tested on video chat Apps, you can stream to FB (it will be 360 video), and some timer apps do capture with it, once connected it will be available as another camera input, but programs not designed for 360 video will get the flattened out image from the 2 sensors, depending on the app, the super duper extra wide video frame (composite from the 2 sensors) might crash it.

New Nokia Camera update for N7+

So, I just got an update for the Nokia Camera app through Google Play. It was a whooping 250MB!! So far I noticed it includes:
- All shooting modes (photo, pro photo, video, bokeh, slow and fast camera...) moved to a slide carousel in the bottom
- Front/back camera switch moved to bottom left (thank god!)
- Added a shortcut to google lens
- Option to take "movement" photos (like a short gif)
- Added a button with Snapchat-like masks
- Auto HDR is now inside the burger menu on the top left
So... I'm opening this thread so you can discuss!

Still don't get update. It is possible to backup camera app and post it here?
edit:
Ok, I found it. I must manualy search for Nokia Camera and then update app. Don't have it with others app that need update on my device.

Apparently the filters and masks sections updated itself over the internet and where I had just 3 masks, there's now also an animoji-like Chinese lion and several light sources filters

Cant find the app when I search in Playstore. Any links?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hmdglobal.camera2

I wonder how the image quality differs from the Google Pixel Camera port.

Probably a really dump question, but can't find the control for manual HDR anymore...

They removed the manual hdr. There's a auto hdr in the settings.

May I know if there is a way to manually set HDR permanently on?

After the update, the Google assistant commands work. Saying "take a selfie" the camera opens automatically with a 3-second countdown

Still forces EIS on 1080p (and lower) recording...
I wish they put an option to disable it.

They should also add 60fps recording for video in 1080 as the processor supports it

I kinda like the new options.

Is ridiculus to not have manual controls on the hdr, is like absurd, like a bad joke....

Front cam at low light is so washed out. It's like saturation set to -100. Wow, just wow.

My stock camera app is different than Nokia Camera app. And for the Nokia Camera app Google Play says "This app is incompatible with your device"

Same here TA-1055 in UK. I have to admit that my Oreo is a restore from Pie Beta.

Well, just got a notification - update for stock camera app (Nokia Camera) and it is whole 247 MB Probably HMD had messed up with this app few weeks ago, then pulled it out of the store and now put it on hopefully a corrected version?

Every time I click a picture it gets in to a never ending processing photos loop and never saves the pictures properly. Even after rebooting the phone it gets back to the same loop.

Camera Panorama function question

I'm running the modified version of the Xiaomi camera app for AOSP, but I assume the Panorama function works as stock.
My question is how to get it to go into VR mode. It seems to work two different ways, but I can't figure out how to switch between them. In some photos, it takes the panorama shot then stitches it all together into a single composite, slightly wonky picture. In some, it creates a VR picture, Google Photos shows the thumbnail with a VR icon, and when you view it, it pans around the image when you move the phone from side to side.
The other question is how to make Panorama mode work in landscape. I've also managed to do this before, but when I try it now it tells me to reorient the phone. Maybe I'm misremembering and did, in fact, do the previous VR shots in portrait rather than landscape.

nvm

There's a modified version that runs on the AOSP roms.

U-Wide Camera accessibility

Halo,
I'm trying to use the U-Wide camera of the P40 pro in my app.
i used both camera2 and camera kit (huawei camera engine) and in both i couldn't retrieve the U-Wide or set the High res camera option

using CameraKit, in the Bokeh mode, i was able to retrieve the U-Wide but the background is blurry so kind of useless for me ..
