[Q] Speed up Camera of.5.6.890

Hi guys, now that we have root and can flash some kind of SBF, is someone able to edit the camera app so that it will shoot photos faster? I have no Idea how and where this could or couldn't be done.
If its impossible, we have to wait for another update.

not just shooting photos faster but switching between front and rear camera faster too, sometimes you think "oh, my press didn't register, i'll press it again" and it switches back - very frustrating

The MIUI Camera posted here works great on D3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15307536#post15307536
Just no FFC ability. Good for quick photos though until we get a camera fix.

Yes, the MIUI camera works GREAT!!

I have to admit that it shoots pics faster, but its not sooo beautiful, not fully translated and has no working camcorder.
The only thing I figured out is, pictures are shot MUCH faster if you set the picture mode of the stock camera app to "Steady Shot". Then the speed, even with flashlight is almost on par with the Droid 2.

The camera apk has a lot of coded bloat used for other phones x2, defy, photon and fire - so much garbage no wonder it takes so long to start, it has to detect the current phone specs and appropriate values.

The Miui v17 camera app worked perfectly for me, although I did hear of one person who flashed 890 on top of 890....go figure! lol

I pushed the MIUI camera to /system/app, installed Quickpic, then froze the stock camera and gallery applications using TB. Everything seems to work fine.

What gallery do you use? I actually quite like the moto gallery because it always takes you to your most recent photos and videos.

Quickpic: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder&feature=search_result
I used to use Gallery3D on my Droid Incredible running CM7, but it would lag every so often. Several people recommended Quickpic and I've loved it ever since.

[Q] Which camera app is closest to stock's?

Hello guys. I just flashed Virtuous Quattro's ICS ROM and after playing around with it I realized that the camera has a bit of a problem ( tho I knew it did from the forums ) and I was just wondering which camera apps which are out on the market is the best for taking good pictures. I've tried Camera360, FxCamera but it's not really satisfying. ( Could be because I came from a sense ROM although I prefer AOSP builds but sense cameras are just really good )
If possible can anyone name me a few camera apps I could try out? One that can focus manually if there is an app that does that. THANKS IN ADVANCE GUYS!

Here are a few I have tried - Ucam, lgCamera, CameraMX and Pudding Camera.. They are all pretty decent.

amaze camera is greate

Best video camera app for Note?

I know there's no real best app, but I'm looking for one that doesn't have bad lag and choppy video, and lets me touch focus.
To be honest, the stock camera app that came with Gingerbread was really good and fast, and later ones started to lag for me. But I don't think there's any apk for the old version.
So can anyone recommend a good video camera app?

Google Camera is the best, but you can not have it without installing an AOSP or CM ROM.
Google Camera work only with 4.4+ and up Android.

I am interested in getting the apk for the original Samsung camera that shipped with the android 2.3 galaxy note. Where can I get it? I don't know how to extract it from the ROM.

anybody?

For the N6? Manual Camera! Lovin this app! It's still a work in progress, but it is a very cool app.

I switched from Manual camera to Camera FV-5, which also uses the new APIs (so it can output DNG). It is a lot more polished and stable than Manual Camera.

Manual camera capture in 4:3 and you cant change quality and HDR seems very broken or non functional.
Very slow shutter rate, aosp and google camera is so much faster, Manual Camara not worth it at all.

It seems you have missed the idea of the app. It's called MANUAL CAMERA!
You don't change "quality" settings. You don't have HDR mode. Those are AUTOMATIC modes. This is a MANUAL application that allows you to adjust MANUAL settings like ISO, Shutter Speed, Over/Under exposure, white balance, etc. If you want all the "programmed" or "automatic" settings that come in the camera app, then use the camera app!
And if your shutter rate is slow, it's because you have a SLOW SHUTTER SPEED selected!!!!
Complaining about an app that is doing what it's supposed to do, is epitome if stupidity!
ARGH!!!!!!!

The app works perfectly fine on my Nexus 6 and I really like the manual options. Too bad it's not possible to edit the raw images on the phone yet.
And the low fps isn't a problem on a phone for me because the auto focus isn't that fast anyway.
A timer for timelapse photos could be a nice feature.

Google kinda dropped the ball on it. Hopefully it will be functionality added in at some point.

core issues with N6 video before slo-mo can happen

My sense is there are some very serious issue preventing slo-mo. That is, slo-mo you want to share because it would be close to garbage as it stands.
I shoot video frequently and was very unhappy when I got my N6.
- signal to noise (S/N) is not good on this device at this stage of the game. It simply is noisy, and it is correctable in software. Until then, slo-mo will be very nasty if anyone is brave enough to try to encode it.
- exposure compensation in video mode is poor - if you shoot a video of a person sitting in front of a blank wall (or a sky) and slowly pan up and down - you can see the exposure compensation "clicking" in stairstep manner as the device adjusts to brightness changes. It needs to be silky smooth or video looks like crap. It can be corrected in software.
- you can workaround the exposure issue by using a third party app which locks exposure compensation - but shooting video with locked exposure compensation is not a good solution.
my opinions.

@warriorpluto I couldn't agree more...I was hoping that there be at least a working port of maybe lenovo, sense 6 camera,z2 or z3 camera...maybe when more devices get lollipop well be able to enjoy the nexus camera...but I suppose for now the google camera shall do for now lol smh

Z camera is good enough. The only one u can take picture wit no lag. But no HDR .

Manual Camera just came out a few weeks ago, but it's by far been the best for me (a camera junkie).
It's best used if you're used to the settings on a DSLR, but has an awesome auto setting and the fastest auto-focus i've seen yet on the N6.

So is the best camera app "Camera FV-5" with Cinema FV-5?

Just cleaned up in here. You guys can take the political debate to a different forum, please. I have absolutely no idea why this subject got brought up in camera thread (actually I do, but I'll deal with the certain member(s))......on a development site.
No need to discuss what I just cleaned in here. Please keep it on topic.

Hi guys,
I thought i just keep posting the new Google Camera versions modified by BSG. @snowwolf725 seems to upload them on Androidfilehost. So credits to him.
Hope it is okay if I post them here. There are 2 versions now:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6ejYykLAFSdSjd1TjBua19LM00
Changelog:
Code:
[B]3.2 all in one [/B]
- lots of custom settings
- honestly losing the overview and google translate is not the best
- basically an updated version of the one @sergykm provided
If you prefer 60 fps video over RAW photos this is the one for you:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634795625
Changelog:
Code:
[B]Modded GCam Min 1.3 with 60 fps video support[/B]

Btw this is the original post:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=782469&st=4340#entry63971754
Requires Android 7.0

Can I choose the camera? as I found that only one of the wide back camera could be used. the normal back camera cannot be used.

Is this a new version?When did it came out??

Seems to work can only using the front camera and the rear 16mp camera, not the wide camera as mentioned above. But i think it's losing alot of detail somewhere compaired to stock as its 1mb -3mb less than stock

Is Lens Blur working for you guys? Mine is crashing when proccesing the image..

Afaik this is by Googles rendering methods and there shouldnt be any lost details. You can take a photo with stock and one with G cam and compare them on your pc with a 100% crop. Should be the same level of detail.
Havent tried it myself yet but I am happy with the quality and I've read somewhere that Google enhanced compression a lot

Unfortunately also crashing for me. (since the first version already)
Edit:
There is a newer version with some fixes for front flash and video recording. If anybody has the issues on their phone I'll post the link.
The original dev works mainly on the mi5s so I don't think our devices are affected by this.

Ok, another new version with WORKING CONFIGS.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-Y4Wh0lWPBGNlFma1FZcFp5UXM
You can change different configs in the settings. You don't need restart your camera, it's working at once.
Before install clear data and cache and remove previous version. If you have FC after change config just clear data and cache of app..
So, maybe anybody can test and compare different configs?

The mod works only for Snapdragon 820 and above, and in some others but only in special cases... So i dont think it will be available for th g5 se soon

I tried Version 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6. It seems that all the new configs which are designed for the mi5s break a few things for us. Hence I couldn't get any of them to process HDR+ properly.
Noise was pretty high and the images inferior to the ones taken with the LG G6 camera app from fulmics. If you guys want I can still provide the newer versions but I don't think that it's worth installing them.

I had the same experience... Currently using Mod_GCam_4.4.012_MI5S_7.0H_Cam2API_Final_1.0.apk.
The processing takes quite a toll on the processor, but it produces nice pictures. My wife has a Nexus 5X and her pics are still better though

earlier port that is 1.4 was working fine

Has there been any progress with the Lens Blur on G5?
I would love to have this feature... (if anyone made this into a paid app i would buy it right away...)
Also i think the Photos taken with my G5 (stock cam as well) look too "soft", like a filter rounded off all the edges...

Do you know how to configure the app so that both HDR+ and blur work. When I change the config to Nexus 6 HDR works but blur crashes, when I use the original config there is no HDR.
