hey guys, just wondering if you guys can list your recommendation for best alternate camera on R4P when using a custom rom (LOS, RR, etc)?
Biggest annoyance for me i've noticed is "shutter lag"; the viewfinder tends to pause and i have to wait before i can take the next picture. Which doesn't really happen with the default MIUI camera.
I've tried a couple, open, snap, htcfix, but yet to find one truly that's smooth. Any recommendations?
The cyanogenmod camera that comes stock with mokee/los seems to be working best for me. Have tried a bunch of camera apps and they all either have a ****ty UI or are functionally deficient in some way. Google camera would be great (love that HDR+) but it crashes when switching to video mode.

Yeah.. not sure why it is but the shutter lag just really kills me. I'm half tempted to go back to MIUI just for the camera. Best one for me i've tried so far is the HTC one.
Guess have to wait and see if Camera2 api makes any difference

I use Open Camera, it has a lot options to customize camera behaviour. I like it's UI.
Has anyone of u tested new ported MIUI camera on custom rom? i dont own anymore r4p but i see lot of u still have trouble with camera and recording.

I remember coming from the Touch Pro, that it had some sort of Sport Mode, were it take about 5 pics at the same time.
Is that possible with our Hero?

Vignette has kind-of like a shutter feature. Check it out.
camera360 is my personal fav
I have tried both vignette and camera 360 both are great apps i like the interface of camera 360 more myself and went with that one. It takes amazing pictures. The difference from the stock camera in CM6 and camera360 is night and day even though the hardware is the same.
The stock camera always produced blurry photos which is why i started looking for something better and i found it. I use my phone as my job-site camera, my internet access, and of course my phone. once i switched to camera360 my project manager jokingly said he could see the ants crawling up the building from 100 ft away.
Test them both out though your preferences may be different. you can always return the one you don't like.
BTW loving CM6 for hero. It makes my hero functional. I use to waste so much time waiting on stock sprint and Sense UI to finish lagging.
I have ILWT cm7 , and i think is the best rom , anyway i do not know but the camera on cm7 rom's sucks a lot. I mean: when i tryed (a lot of time) sense roms , and sometimes MIUI the camera is better , for quality , focus and all.
I would like to have a sense camera on CM7 , i think is impossibile , or someanother solution?
Thanks
Currently on ILWT, and I use the camera a pretty good amount. Haven't noticed their to be much difference (if at all) in picture quality between the CM7 camera on ILWT and Sense cameras (which I used for a long time). I find the MIUI camera near useless (at least the one you have the option to choose in Aroma on ILWT while flashing), due to the lack of selectable ISO.
Have you tried adjusting ISO and white balance? These often will give less blurry photos if you manually adjust them. Both Sense and CM7 cameras take too much time calculating the proper white balance and ISO, resulting in long shutter delay and resulting blur from camera movement.
You can try the MIUI camera app, it is offered as an option in the ILWT.txt configuration file.
I'm running ILWT and much prefer MIUI camera to CM7 camera app. That said I think Sense camera and in particular the one included in the Doubleshot ROM gave me the best results. That is actually the only thing I'm missing from Sense, the very nice camera app.

I totally agree with this.
Actually, the HTC Amaze Cam from the MT4G gave me the best results i have EVER had from my phone. That's the only thing that makes me want to go back to Sense.

You're right - forgot about the Amaze camera app which produced very fine results. Still not enough to make me want to go back to a horribly slow experience.
When one of the Sense 4A ROMs get a working camera I might be intrigued. I flashed one just to try it out and it seemed remarkably smooth compared to any of the Sense 3.0/3.5 ROMs.
Until then, ILWT and MIUI cam it is

Needless to say, it will not make your phone do anything that is not supported by the hardware.
Photos will remain 5MP maximum and the sensor in our phones doesn't support burst mode and other features that is not normally supported.
Also, using the Amaze camera app you are stuck on a Sense 3.0/3.5 ROM that is painfully slow compared to AOSP ROMs.
So far I've landed on ILWT CM7 with MIUI camera app as default.

the xperia rom is fast and uses sense 3.5, I also have the amaze camera running on it, you can change the media_profiles.xml file to have no compression but you will have large photos (3mb) I do notice some difference.
I also removed the plastic cover around my camera and made a glass one, that made a huge difference but it was a pain to do.

I'm running CoreDroid on Inspire 4g and this Sense 3.5 is running like an aosp. Pacha's sense 3.5 stripped down senseless, I get the same quality. Love cm7 but, sense camera is the best hands down. I've been through so many cameras on cm7 and nothing compares to the sense camera. I've yet to try thee Amaze app. Gonna give that a go now.
Hello so i just switched from Stock to AOSP but the cameras like google camera and the stock camera from aosp really sucks its slow and bad quality not like xdabebbs camera. Can you guys suggest me whats a good one for aosp? Thank you

Well the camera image processing software is also pretty good from LG and they also paid for the licences and Aosp is free so they don't have an amazing camera quality like from big company's who invest lots of money in those software.
Here are some tips I can suggest you,

http://d-h.st/xR7 ( Jishnu sur 3.5 Camera for CM)
More I can't really suggest. The only remaining thing you could do then is search on the wide web for an camera app which is good but it will probably go hard since most camera apps also on playstore aren't with advanced image processing as on the LG stock camera. If you are on Cyanogenmod I suggest to also take a look at the 3.5 camera from Jishnu sur maybe. And also the others :laugh:
Goodluck:good:
P.S. I don't know or they all work good also with image processing etc since I still have to decide which phone I will get myself .
Until now camera is not good in lineage OS 14.1 but which is the best app so far?
this camera is not good, end of story, if you really need a great camera you should bought another phone.
Go back to stock.
Does anyone have the EUI camera app APK to side load?

No, camera Sensor is not Bad, but in lineage OS 14.1 it is not good. I think maybe if Nougat will be released official, the camera will improve and it will make its way to lineage OS 14.1 too.
Dies this make sense?

Can we simply install it as apk?
Try SnapIt camera
I dont find snapit.
Is there any other good camera app. Maybe an .apk to download driectly
Google camera is good
I've just switched to A Better Camera. So far so good, has HDR & Panarama options, easy to use UI. It does go wonky with displayed aspect ratios when previewing, but the pictures turn out good.

+1 for A Better Camera app. Works very well compared to stock app.
the best camera are 2:
1) a better camera (but the gui is horrible)
2) snap camera hdr
see you!
I use open camera. It's a very powerful app. You can adjust ISO, expose time, manual focus, expose lock. It's almost with all the function of SLR. I love it very much.
just curious. does anyone have any photo comparisons of stock vs lineage? i bought the phone recently and it shipped with lineage so i have no idea what the camera difference actually was, but i do think that camera kinda sucks. my s5 shot better photos.
Not specific for Lineage, but is there a camera app that do digital image stabilization for video?
I think the picture mode is quite decent with stock camera app, but the video mode is disastrous...
+1 on Open Camera. Also looking at but haven't yet downloaded or tested Qualcom's Snapdragon Camera. I also think the Snapdragon camera may be our default Lineage camera - so I'll likely stick with Open Camera.
Camera
I'm using moto z ported camera app. It's better then lineageOs one.

I tried:
google camera, it doesn't work;
jishnu htc one m9 (and m10) camera ports, work but are buggy;
open camera, not so great after all.
So far the best one, and i'm settled on it with my rom, is aforementioned moto z camera app.
cheers
Comparative (I'm with LOS 14.1 Superluminal Team):

Here new Photos

Personal opinion: After a careful analysis of the photos, I think that Bacon Camera is the one that keeps the details "richer" even if it tends to underexpose the photos.
The photos with Bacon Camera are indeed "uncompressed" in BMP format.
Google Camera and A Better Camera Unlocked (both with HDR enabled) have a better balance of lights and shadows, but they lose a lot of detail by mixing more photos.
hey, can any brilliant developer create a super stable video for gcam like on stock camera app? i really liked that but its not possible with a custom rom or maybe there is, so can anyone do it?

Go to the Google camera ports web page and try these 3:
Xcam 6.2 beta (which version depends on your Android version) - has all features basically
Urnyx 7.2 v1.4 - same as above however it is Google cam 7 (unfortunately cannot use xmls to configure settings)
Parrot 7 V12 - unlike the 2 above, does not allow for switching to ultrawide or telephoto, however is a great cam with xmls, lots of config options in settings and is also Google cam 7
the video is not at all stable compared to stock camera

What mod are you using? Gcam has lots of mods and tweaks, I'm using Gcam 7.2 by Parrot mod and don't face any issues.
Neither version of Gcam has video stabilization like stock cam...period!
I agree at some point but to compare stock Mi9t camera 1080p/30fps/h265 vs Gcam 7.2 1080p/30fps/h265 the quality is much better on Gcam when you're walking or hiking fast the video stabilization is not that much progressive or smoother on stock camera I'd say max 5% or 10% more accurate and it's hardly noticeable but the quality drops during the video I can clearly see the image distortion and noise.
In addition Gcam is much more configurable and better quality because it is being developed constantly and Xiaomi stock camera software is not something to judge or the company is aimed for but rather quality and production of smartphones and various equipment.
