Stock camera alternative for CM12? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any camera app for CM12? like in touchwiz, i mean more advance than the CM camera app??!!

Google play is the place to try. Maybe google search for "the best camera".
There are lots of Top 10's about those kind of things.

Looking for an answer as well. What I'm really looking for is a camera app that can match the night mode of the touchwiz camera.

if i found great camera app, it will for sure missing the camcorder!!

Camera FV-5 And Cinema FV-5.
but it's a paid app. you know what to do already. (if you know what i mean)
but it has no front camera feature. so just use the normal aosp camera for front cam features.
that's what i'm using when i'm on AOSP Builds such as CM11,CM12,Carbon Rom etc.... :good:
good luck

Can anyone who's using GPE by Danvdh tell me how the OnePlus One camera app is compared to the Motorola and Google Camera? I always wondered and now I won't have to start a new thread

I thought you're from Davao? Never mind dude... [emoji1]
Found a really promising camera alternative for low light photography. App is called "A better camera."
What I really missed though is the touch to focus feature from the TW Camera in night mode. So far, every app I've tried won't work with touch to focus in night mode.

touch to focus actually works on Camera FV 5. but focusing on that camera/app is only at the center

[Q] Alternatives to Default/Stock Camera App?

do you guys use alternatives to the stock Camera?
been thinking of trying Focal but just wanted to get a sense of what else do you guys use
(assuming that there's always a better alternative to the Samsung apps)

I'd like to find a camera that supports video at 60fps. Focal has a setting but it does not work.
Stock camera does not remember the 60 fps setting for me. I have to set it every time I open the cam :_(

the stock Camera app tends to cause 100% brightness upon launch

Some samples
Hello all.
I've had the device for around 2 weeks now, so I can't say I have mastered it.
My experience says that It is definitely not as easy as an iPhone that you just point and shoot and 9 out of 10 you will get a good photo.
This phone/sensor has great capabilities BUT you need to work on the settings.
Here are some samples from these 2 weeks I have been using it.
:cyclops:
SAMPLES HERE
More will be added in time.
Did you use the default camera app, or maybe some alternatives? I like ProCapture, but the focus speed and overall snappiness is better with stock camera app.
Nice pictures thou, the manual mode selection and exposure compenstaion is really visible.

What you see is a not focused picture stitched into the pano. Third party cameras like google camera sometimes doesn't focus correctly, they don't wait long enough for the focus on this phone.

Huawei mate s or p8 camera port

hey I wondering if it is possible to port the good camera from Huawei mate s or Huawei p8 , even honor 7 . they are the same with lot of good functions. well nexus 6p is a Huawei device too, do u think it is possible ?
It likely uses the EMUI framework so I doubt it. The Google camera app is great and there are other options on the play store if you don't like the stock one
y cant we have few features like using the fingerprint sensor for taking selfie or scrolling? No such app?

Its a Nexus (AOSP based)not a bloated EMUI phone. That's why it doesnt have those bloated features, nor does it need them. I never take 'selfies' or even use the FFC so it's not important to have for me. You have to remember that this is a Nexus not a skinned UI phone so it only has the bare minimum in terms of software features. If it had Huaweis normal UI it would be slower and the phone would be ruined.

Sorry m8 but the stock camera app sucks. No ISO, no Sutter speed, no manual focus, nothing. Fv-5 is great but it needs some bug fixing cuz sometimes is just wont focus and won't capture at all.

None of that is really required on a phone. The stock camera app works great, and doesn't clutter things up with necessary features. I use my DSLR frequently in manual mode which serves a purpose for a real camera; phones don't need manual adjustments especially not the 6P. Every picture I've taken has come out perfectly the first time I took it. I don't need to play with settings like I did on my LG G3, Nexus 6, or S5.

I don't know about you but I really miss the HTC camera app. Editing the photos in real time using the MF, SP, and ISO can give you the image your looking for. Nevertheless, even on auto setting on FV-5 it takes better photos then the stock camera app on the 6p. For me it always seems to be over exposed and washed out.

I've never owned an HTC so I can't say I know what you're taking about. I know there are a lot is good camera apps out there, but I've never had any bad pictures from the stock app with auto HDR and flash off

I know that mostly Custom ROMs have Snapdragon camera, I was saying that mabye I'll try to use Camera FV-5 on some custom to see if there will be manual focus at least (I don't think there will be focus peaking tho). In MIUI installing FV-5 there's not even manual focus, instead on MIUI camera app there's manual focus and focus peaking too.

After Leaving MIUI 8 and choosing CM13 on my mi4i , i just felt miui camera app is awesome. A d after 2 weeks trying every 3rd party camera app, luckily i found a good alternative to this, and that is OPPO camera mod, you can find oppo camera app searching in threads. That works great but i have downloaded a oppo camera version that looks same as R7 camera app. You can try that searching in forums.

Probably I tried some Oppo camera with my Mi4, but I can't remember well.
I'll definitely give it a try, anyway I guess there will not be focus peaking feature.

Actually, Oppo camera app have more features than miui camera app, like HDR, HD pic (more sturations for cropping), slow shutter (lightning painting), Gif, doubke exposure etc etc... All you need is to download 2 apks, 1 for app 1 for plugins.. thats it. I HAVE UPLOADED 2 CAMERA APP INTERFACE SCREEN SHOTS. THATS Mi4i. CM13

Google Camera and HDR+

I know some devs have succesfully ported pixel camera for nexus devices to allow HDR+. Is it possible to do the same for the LGV20 so that we can also expirience that HDR+ software?

So this question really irked me, in a good way of course. Whilst studying for my history exam, I was thinking that HDR+ is essentially software based. The Pixel's camera's specs are kinda mediocre aside from the 1.55um sensor—only f2.0 aperture and no OIS; the best part about the camera is the software to back it all up. So, I looked around to see if you could potentially port the camera app itself, which might have the correct algorithm for HDR+. I came across a dev who made the app Camera NX, which in essence is a port.
So here is a brief overview of the app.
And here he explains how the HDR+ has zero shutter lag.
What really got my attention is the following quote:
This mod is just an update to Chow's Camera NX app, which itself is a port of the Pixel's stock camera app and libraries. What that all boils down to is that you don't even need to be rooted to get Zero Shutter Lag with HDR+ mode right now.

Anyways, since I do not own an LG V20 (I hope to soon, once my Note 4 contract expires), you'll have to do most of the testing and report back, if that's alright. Nonetheless, I hope this was helpful!
Thanks for the reply. I did come across that apk and installed it. It does work as a camera but unfortunatly there is no HDR+ present. There is exposure setting and whitebalance toggles. The other problem i notice is that the slow motion seems worse quality then what is found on the stock app. By all means i am no expert bit if any one else has feedback or have tested this themselves and see improovements or HDR+ present let us all know.
Unfortunately I haven't found Google Camera to work on the V20;it works good on the note 5 though...weird. Stinks because there is no option to make photo-spheres with the V20 .
scrap that. I just downloaded the latest from xda...no problems!

actually the hexagon dsp on the snapdragon 820/821 does the heavy lifting for hdr+ which works different between the pixels and the 5x/6p. the latter ones only can do software hdr+. there was an interesting post on reddit about this. currently also searching for a modified google camera app as camera nx is only modified for the nexus phones. the lg g5 and v20 are very much capable of what the pixel does.
It probably isn't as simple as that. But have you tried changing the build.prop to identify the phone as a pixel?
I can't try myself as I don't have root access.

Except Google camera app is not available in the store with stock LG V20 software.
Does anyone know if it's possible to use the pixel camera mod with the wide angle lens? I'm not sure how you would put the ability to switch from regular to wide in the app but is there any way to have it default to the wide angle lens instead of the regular one?

There are reports of the app using the wide lens and for others it uses the regular narrow one. For me on my h918 it uses the regular narrow lens. There is no button for switching like on the stock LG camera so as of right now I'm not aware of any way to switch between them.
I've found nice GCam mode suitable for V20
