Camera app - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi
I am not a fan of the camera app, especially because it oblige me to use Gallery to open recent photos.
I would like to know if I use another camera app, Google camera for instance, will I have the same image quality ?
I understood that there is software enhancement for photos processing with the S8, is it dependant of the camera app or not ?
Thx

I like this app and would love to see it on my Galaxy S6, is there a way to port it to other devices?
Other apps i used where Open Camera or Camera FV-5
Greetings

Change the Gallery shortcut in the STOCK CAMERA

Hello, I found the stock gallery very unpleasant
for exemple when you want to delete a picture, it take you 2-3 taps
AOSP gallery is really faster, you delete pictures in a blink, and if you miss you can still go back clicking "cancel" button
Don't want to change camera, beacause the stock one is clearly the one with the best results (sharpness, noise, focus...)
So, any way to change the app launcher by touching the little vignette on the corner of the camera app ?
Not anymore. Used to be possible on the first firmwares the phone came with, but they deleted that functionality. It's not possible on the S5, either, so likely a KitKat thing.
You also can't select it in Whatsapp, Facebook and other such apps. Wish we could.... Stock gallery is a nightmare if you have more than 20 pictures. I have about 6000, when I want to select a picture to send in Whatsapp I have exactly 1.2 seconds to select it before the gallery crashes and takes Whatsapp/Facebook with it.
I do have to object to the statement about the camera. FV5, Procapture and Zoom FX take much higher quality pictures.

Google Street View app has a 360 camera built into it. Works pretty much just like the Google Camera app.

Any recommendations are highly appreciated.

I have been testing out Camera zoom FX, it seems to have all the features that the N4 can use, but i don't like the way it handles HDR.
The thing is that Google Camera (at least the 3.2 version i have) is the quickest to open (<3 sec), which is something I care about.
Open Camera is also ok, while "perfectly clear" is complete **** (which i was very surprised about).
camera mx
sorry, maybe you try camera mx, I think is so good.

Does Nexus 4 support Camera 2 API to use HDR+? I doubt it but I ask just to be sure.

I never found a complete answer for this, but what i understood is that N4 does not go beyond LEGACY level for Camera 2 API. (other options being LIMITED and FULL).
This may be due to firmware issues, sensor limitation, or DSP/ISP.
So, max I think devs can do is make an app install on the N4 but none of the "extra" features will work (like manual controls, RAW images).
I did want to mention that there are apps out there that seem to "reproduce" some of the features of more modern cameras.
For example burst mode, or some exposure settings, even ISO. (e.g., Camera FV-5).
This is mainly why I asked this question here, to find out if there is a full feature packed app out there that N4 users prefer. Since most of these camera apps might have more features than the stock google cam one but the end results are crap...
Google Camera 4.1.006 seems to work fine if you have a ROM running 6.0+ (I think). I have encountered a few bugs though.

Stock camera app from LineageOS 15.1, works for me.
Latest Google Camera working on LineageOS 15.1 Android Pie
The Nexus 4 is a ARM device (arm-v7a). I tested Google Camera APKs from APKMirror on Nexus 4 running LineageOS 15.1 Android Pie. I had to manually uninstall the app between versions, otherwise the other versions refused to install.
Google Camera 4.2.035 doesn't work. Force closes on start up.
Google Camera 4.2.022 doesn't work. Force closes on start up.
Google Camera 4.1.006 works. Video @ 1080 causes app to crash. To work around this, go to settings and change video resolution to 720p.
Google Camera 3.2.045 works. To get past the tutorial, change to selfie camera. Video @ 1080 causes app to crash. To work around this, go to settings and change video resolution to 720p.
Overall v4.1.006 is the latest version that works on the Nexus 4.

Fix Camera2 API to show all cameras in all camera apps?

Hi, i was trying to use the ultra-wide camera in hedgecam2/OpenCamera, but besides gcam and the stock camera, no other apps show option to use the zoom or ultra-wide.
then i found out those apps like opencamera CAN and DO use all cameras the phones have, but the API of the phone only show 2 cameras available (like on opencamera log, "No. of cameras: 2").
on the forums, most newer LG and samsung phones show the correct amount of cameras, and allow all apps to use them (even on whatsapp, etc..)
so, my question: is this fixable? can the camera api be modified to show all cameras? or perhaps change the main camera to be the ultra-wide one?

Xiaomi mi 9t and zhiyun smooth 4 compatibility

Hi all,
Recently I bought a zhiyun smooth 4 gimbal and that the app of the gimbal does not have permission to use all the lenses. The gimbal is compatible with Filmic Pro, but neither this app can use other lenses than the main one. It is possible to let third party apps use all the lenses of the phone?
Another possibility is to use the gimbal with MIUI camera app. Somebody knows if it is possible to use the buttons on the gimbal with the MIUI camera app? I tried to connect the gimbal manually via Bluetooth but with no luck.
i think the problem is the camera API. i posted this tread a while ago:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/help/fix-camera2-api-to-cameras-camera-apps-t4078935
about the same problem, third party camera apps only see main camera, no wide or tele. because the phone tell the apps it has only one back camera.
only "special" apps circumvent this limitations, like the stock camera app or gcam
maybe a custom rom can shows all cameras properly.

Thank you for your reply. Maybe I will try a custom rom later. But for now I observed that with Filmic Pro the recorded videos are noisy with 24 fps (with higher fps is even worse) than that I observed with the stock camera app. This happens mostly inside where the lighting conditions are not perfect, but still I don't understand from where comes the difference.
Because of this issue, now I'm more interested in using the gimbal with the sock camera app. Even if I can use just the record button on the gimbal is better than to have noisy videos and pictures. But for the moment I could not find anything regarding this.
