[App][2.3+]Snap Camera - Paid Software Announcement and Discussion

This is a thread to discuss my camera app.
It's a modified Android camera/gallery/editor with many features for Android 4.0+ (an older version also runs on 2.3).
Now with full 4K video recording on the Nexus 5 (3840x2160) , see this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57672891&postcount=2405
It's available on the play store for about US$2.
I really want it to work on as many different devices as possible so let me know how you get on with it.
The app is here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap
See the website for tips and FAQs:
http://www.marginz.co.nz/snap
Attached to this post will be the latest release and/or beta test, if you have purchased the app you can install this to test.
If you haven't purchased the app you can still install this but it will only work if you do not have a network connection on your device (wifi or mobile data).
If you have bought the app but want some extra features you can get the beta from the play store here:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.marginz.snap
You can opt out of the beta at any time by visiting this link again.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/153r0o/jelly_bean_camera_and_gallery_ported_to_all/
from first impressions, people are blasting the price, they think this is just picking up google's work and releasing it as a paid app :S they don't realize there's work involved to port it to 2.3+.
Dzo, I really suggest an ad supported or a trial version. That way, they'll have the chance to try it before blasting it :S

Looks interesting, but no free version to try.

Why aren't all apps as fast and cool looking like this? The only thing I'm missing so far versus Aurora's standard camera is the sharpness option. I usually set that to 0 or 1, because the default added too much noise.
The icon could use some work though. It's a bit... empty... and flat compared to other colorful, 3D-looking icons. Maybe I should clarify this, I mean the icon in the apk you sent per mail. The one that's just a white octagon
Btw, when I take a photo, the screen is tinted green. The photo is all right. Is that intended?

I think an ad version would be nice..

Just bought this
First impressions: looks very good and really fast to shoot and modify settings. Really great camera app!
One question: I don't get that how I shoot time lapse. I press it to on, select settings and press done, but where is option to start to shoot it? I think that it's somewhere, but I do something wrong

Is photosphere working?

bought and seems to take great pic, and easy to use as well. any plans to give the option of saving to external SD card?
would be great if one could.

First app I have ever bought. Bought it just to support dzo for his great job what he did for mine phone (U8800). I tried it and must say that it is really fast and great to use (sometimes little laggy on U8800 but what should we expect on 1ghz single core ) Found two bugs though. 1. app cant play videos taken from app itself (maybe just bug on U8800 idk) 2. when i watch any video in it, the blue top line with buttons like share and back never fades out (while looking at photos i just tap on screen and top overlay (idk if its called like this, english isnt my native language) fades out but in video it just pauses the vid.
Keep up good work :good:
edit: video recording doesnt work in 720p (and because of this i could not open those videos) but is working 480p

In fact, it's not available, because it's proprietary google technology that Dzo couldn't port if the app was to be a paid one. At least that's how I understand it...

Sharpness is at the top on the controller. It's supposed to be a pencil sharpener!
Sharpness, contrast and saturation don't keep their settings after a restart, perhaps they should.
Yes, the launcher icon needs some work. I'll get into it. The green tint isn't supposed to be there. Just a feature of Aurora.

Thanks for the hint, now I'm happy
The whole workflow for snapping a picture and checking if it's come out alright is so much better with the integrated gallery.
@zazza8: Time lapse is not for photos, but for videos. Activate time lapse and start shooting a video, it works.

- manual whitebalance (within Auto-Mode and easier accessing)
- manual focus
- face recognition in auto-mode
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda premium

Oh hell, yes i found it. Not really easy accessible and usable. I changed my feature-request ^^
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda premium
-an API for manual control of the camera in our own apps, ex: shutter speed, Aperture, everything in "expert" mode, etc.
-time lapse option that bypasses the preview requirements. ex: time lapse with screen off to save battery
-unlimited continuous mode. ex: take pictures as fast as hardware allows and save them until the SD card is full
checking for protrusions in front of the lens when camera is activated on start up or activated by apps
else this happenshttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38367332#post38367332
Speaking of remote, how about publishing the remote protocol so we could write special purpose apps with vastly greater control than just launching a "take picture" intent.
And two new options in settings:
1) Don't start camera on power up.
2) Remember my default preference for using the sdcard, don't keep asking on every power up.

+1 for these 2
evSril afflicted
Only owned mines for a few hours now
but
+ 1 : Don't start camera on power up., straight to dashboard would be better
+1 for some type of Focus Control
:- 30 Second Shutter Window instead of 16 seconds
:- Different Flash Modes, maybe its me but I can only see auto, Rear ,Slow Fill etc.
hello
it was helpful thanks
- advanced panorama features like in LG's new phone (LG G Pro) and Samsung WB850F compact camera
- 3D panorama
- action panorama
-3D photo with one lens (as in WB850F)
Normal voice phone calling!
+1 To remember SD card setting on start up
+1 To not start Camera App on start up
+1 Flash auto fill mode
+1 Higher resolution Panorama modes
+1 3D Photo Options
What about untimed video recording option? Currently limited to 25 minutes.
And of course the most important:
PLEASE ALLOW NORMAL VOICE PHONE CALLING!
Sv: What features do you want updated/integrated from Samsung?
+100000000 for most of those named earlier.
Personally, I am really disappointed with the lack of fine-grained manual controls (even in manual mode). What I would really appreciate is
manual focus control
manual flash control (mostly intensity)
smarter handling of flash in all modes: when popping up the flash in auto-mode, chances are, I did it on purpose. If the light conditions don't seem to make use of flash necessary, use it for fill-in, already.
better use of screen estate / refined controls in manual mode. Of course, the huge dials for manual settings do work, but at least for me, they simply steal focus from taking the image. Give me onscreen buttons to modify the function of the zoom-rocker in real time instead, as is done with the dialer on SLRs: hold button for AE and the rocker changes exposure compensation instead of zooming etc...
Sent from a compact camera (Samsung Galaxy Camera, EK-GC100)
Manual focus control
Manual flash control
Faster and better autofocus
Manual White Balance, Can make phone calls maybe because for now i fell interrupted with no native app phone call... when i want check balance of my sim card i should swap to another phone and new features on camera like sgs 4 :fingers-crossed:
i need Manual focus control, Manual flash control
Manual focus slider
+1 for all above,
personally I've mostly missed manual focus, as I like to take shots of moving objects, or objects that are not yet in view.
is there any workaround app for the manual focus ?
also full remote controls for the remote viewfinder would be nice.
+1 dont start camera on power up !
like every digicam has a switch for viewing pictures without turning on lens motor ..

So I'll go ahead and close this one. Thanks for the share though.

[APP][CM11][DEPRECATED][V22]CameraNext Modded

New CM12 based mod here
This app will no longer be updated. V22 is the final version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...eranextmod-t3086513/post60202401#post60202401
Modded Camera
There is no need to do anything with your original camera. This installs as a separate app.
This is my modded version of the CM CameraNext app. I decided to share this because I have seen many people want to use the Color OS camera because of its low light performance. So far, I have implemented the 16 and 32 second shutter delay and I might add more later on.
Requirements
Root if you want a higher bitrate for videos and the fix for auto-focus "Click" sounds (Flash the zip file)
Changelog
V1
16 second shutter added
32 second shutter added
V2
disable extra shutter button
V3
Rename app to "CameraNextMod"
Set "Slow Shutter" to the default scene mod on app open
1/4 second slow shutter (User request)
24 second slow shutter (Good balance between 16 and 32)
30 Burst Shots
50 Burst Shots
XML code cleanup
CM12 Panorama fixed with lib file
CM11 and CM11s Flashable zip
CM12 Flashable zip
V4
BIG Thanks to @nicholaschum for this version
Rename package
Eliminate need for root
New Icon
Flashable zips will now only work on their corresponding android versions
V5
Add "Experimental" section under settings
*ROOT* Double bitrate for 720p and 1080p (Flash the zip to enable)
V6
Rename camera from v5 to v6 to keep all the file names the same. No actual change in app versions.
*ROOT* Fix Slowmo video quailty (Flash the zip to enable)
*ROOT* Max bitrate for 720p and 1080p with fixed slowmo (Flash the zip to enable)
*ROOT* Modify mixer_paths.xml file to fix the autofocus clicking sound (Flash the zip to enable)
*ROOT* Disable Camera sounds Instructions
V10
Rebased on the YU CameraNext app
Change version to 005
Zero Shutter lag
New ViewFinder
Video HDR
Digital Image Stabilization
All features from prevoius versions
Couple of things to note before installing V11
Uninstall V10 manually
Smart Scene was removed from the new app but I added a toggle under Experimental called "Best Shot""
When "Best Shot" is enabled, you wont be able to switch scenes
If you have video artifacts, then try disabling video HDR and Video Stabilization
V11
addon.d script thanks to @kantjer (All camera mods will survive nightly flashes) (Need to flash zip)
Best Shot toggle
Second shutter option replaced with a blank
Version Number is on the last page in settings so its easily identifiable
CM12 users use "4k UHD (CM12)" option to record in 4k UHD
Notes for V15
If you are missing options, make sure you are on V15 by going into the camera settings and then swipe to the "General" page
If you have problems, clear the data
Shutter speeds lower than 1/30 REQUIRE FULL DAYLIGHT. It is used for capturing very quick shots
V15
Based on 05Q firmware
New installer for zip files
ISO - auto(HJR) is defualt now
1/5000,1/2500,1/1000,1/500,1/250,1/125,1/60 shutter speeds
Smart Scene is back
HDR Force closes are fixed
Video Focus Mode added
First off, sorry guys for taking so long with this version. I was tinkering with the Color OS cam for a bit
V16 Notes
I optimized the settings for point and shoot
To get my settings: reset the app, set quality to 95, Sharpness=6, Contrast=4, Saturation=6
V16
1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2500, 1/5000 shutter modes for quick shots (needs daylight and Auto ISO)(See image below)
ISO_HJR is default ISO mode
Video Focus Mode
Fix HDR
Reenable ZSL toggle
Renable Face Detection toggle
Fix RAW derp from last version
V16A - Tiny update, only cosmetic changes
Rename "Slow Shutter" to "Variable Shutter"
I did this to accurately represent the shutter modes available from 1/5000 (very fast) to 64 seconds (Very Slow)
Bring back "4k UHD (CM12)"
V20
Focus ring is now smaller and thinner (User request)
Burst Mode Icons added
Burst Mode added to quickbar
ISO added to quickbar
Second Pie menu includes Sharpness,contrast, and saturation
1/4, 1/8, 1/16 Variable Shutter
Variable Shutter menu Bug fixed! The options dont reset to auto now!
Mix and Matching is now possible
Notes for V20
Variable Shutter can now be used on ALL scenes
Burst mode is enabled for ALL scenes
Moved autofocus click noise to a separate zip because it forces mono sound to fix it
To reenable ZSL make sure Variable Shutter is set to off
For EX: I can set aqua scene, set the variable shutter to 1 sec and turn burst to 5. It will shoot 5 aqua sslow shutter images in a row without touching it
EX 2: Turn burst to 5 and use HDR. Now it will take 5 HDR pics without you touching it!
Once again, Thank @infinityplus!
V21
Added more icons for Saturation, Contrast, and Sharpness
Change Second pie menu icon @infinityplus
moved and redid ISO icons
Focus mode added to the second menu
V22
Remove Focus mode
Fix force close
Notes for Color OS Camera VS CameraNext
Color OS Denoise default is off <> CameraNext Denoise default is on
This is why the CameraNext pictures are smaller. Denoise compresses them, thus the smaller file size. I would recommend turning this off for day shots. On night shots, I highly recommend turning it on, otherwise the pictures will look like garbage with scattered RGB artifacts. This is why Color OS cam provides slightly better detail in night shots
Color OS Contrast and Saturation Values are 5 <> CameraNextMod default is 4 and 6 respectively
Color OS cam has three modes (low, mid, and high). The numeric values are 0,5, and 10. CameraNextMod values ranges from 0-10. I tried to tune it for color accuracy, Your results may vary.
Color OS Auto Exposure is set to Center-Weighted <> CameraNextMod Auto Exposure is set to Frame-average
Color OS Cam by @BOOTMGR here
Color OS Cam mod port by @infinityplus here
Bugs
Shutter option shows up twice but one is disabled
Shutter option will reset to auto if you open and close the settings
All previous Stock CameraNext Bugs
To use it, you must change the scene mode to "slow shutter" and then select the speed. If you don't have this scene available, then your camera does not support it and won't work.
WARNING
THE ZIP FILES ARE ONLY FOR THE ONEPLUS ONE DEVICE. The CM12 zip WILL CAUSE A BOOTLOOP if flashed on CM11 or CM11s due to the panorama fix and vice versa. IF STUCK IN A BOOTLOOP, FLASH THE CORRECT VERSION FOR YOUR DEVICE OR DIRTY FLASH YOUR ROM. DO NOT FLASH THE WRONG ZIP. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DO NOT READ OR MESS UP YOUR PHONE.
NOTES
Starting from V6 onward, if you're running a modified version of the mixer_paths.xml file, you'll have to remodify it. If you are using one of my audio mods, I'll update them to into the camera fix. Just flash the new file and you're good to go.

Things I can do
Remove scenes
Rearrange settings
Unlock hidden options
Things I can't do
Modify the ViewFinder
Change the framerate for 1080p to use 60
make the an option for 240 fps
To remove camera sounds
go into /system/media/audio/ui
delete camera_click.ogg
delete camera_focus.ogg
delete VideoRecord.ogg
To remove the mod completely
To completely uninstall the zip file, you have to delete 90-CamSettings from
/system/addon.d/
Then you have to uninstall the app by using titanium backup or deleting CameraNextMod.apk from /system/app
Finally to get rid of the autofocus click fix and increased bitrate, just dirty flash your ROM.

Wow brilliant. Looks fantastic buddy! Will give it a try
Thanks for improving my preferred camera app.
Do you think is feasible to have a better noise suppression algorithm? That is the biggest difference I noticed when tried Color OS camera app.
Looks amazing! Thanks for the effort! Would it be possible to change the aspect ratio of the viewfinder? Currently it is a little zoomed in so the actual captured image is actually wider than what is being shown on the viewfinder
What an idea ! Well done :highfive:
How did you manage to take such a clear picture with this speed of shutter ? You have a tripod or something ?

Nice work.Thank you for the mod and hope to see more updates.
I clear data on the original camera next install, uninstalled and then installed your modded version but I still have a Max of 8 seconds on show slow shutter settings. Any ideas how to fix?
Edit: Nevermind, checked again and I now have two separate options for slow shutter speed, one with a Max of 8 the other with a Max of 32,i guess the first is ignored?

[APP][PORT][Repost] Google Camera port for LG G5 Normal & Wide Angle (by cstark27)

[APP][PORT][Repost] Google Camera port for LG G5 Normal & Wide Angle (by cstark27)
cstark27 said:
NOTE: I am not a developer but I have tried my best to create a port that has most of the basics working on my LG V30. I cannot promise I can fix any bugs for other devices but if I have time, I can try to look into some. This version is based off Scrubber's [4PDA] and uses information I've learned from using and looking at Arnova8G2's, BSG's and others versions. All their work is much appreciated and is the only thing that makes this possible.
NOTE: This is how the V30's Camera ID's are laid out. My normal lens app uses ID 0 and 1. My wide lens app uses ID 1 and 2.
Camera 0 "LENS_FACING_BACK"
Camera 1 "LENS_FACING_FRONT"
Camera 2 "LENS_FACING_BACK" (wide angle)
I cannot guarantee success on other devices, especially if the phone does not even report all cameras through the Camera2 API (use Camera2Test app to verify your device info). If you are on LineageOS, please consult your dev to see if they can alter the camera ID's to properly match LG stock roms, if my version does not work.
Working on my V30: Optical Image Stabilization; Front/Rear/Wide HDR+ ZSL & Enhanced; Front/Rear/Wide Portrait Mode; Front/Rear/Wide 1080p 30fps video; will test other functions later but the menus work
My normal version should work fine on devices that have a decent Camera2 API support. Snapdragon Galaxy S8, Note 8, Nokia 6, Nokia 8, Essential PH-1, HTC U11, etc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cstark27 v3.6
If you have issues, Clearing App Data is recommended. Open "Camera"> Settings>About>View App Settings Page>Storage>Clear Data
LG G6 Lineage users can use the toggle in the wide angle APK to fix their camera ID issue. You must force close the app.
-Added 5 Exposure Time settings for Adaptive Shutter Speed. "Super Slow" is the same as V3.5. "Very Slow" is about 2x faster and so on and so forth. On my phone "Slow" is not actually Slow and matches normal HDR+ Enhanced speed. But it may change depending on device so I left it.
-Normal APK: Save HDR+ choice after going into Settings (credit Miniuser123)
-Organized Settings>Advanced by grouping all HDR+ Enhanced stuff into a section. Changed a couple strings so they'd be translated to other languages.
-Skip Color Fix if Adaptive Shutter is enabled
-Removed Slow Motion menu item unless you have a LG G5, G6, V20, or V30. BUT, you can enable it in Settings>Experimental.
-Wide APK: Change HDR+ Config to Taimen so ZSL (Zero Shutter Lag) is back, but I've defaulted HDR+ to Enhanced. This won't change until you clear app data or go into settings though.
-Wide APK: Remove Slow Motion menu item
2 Separate APK's (download both, they do not require each other though so you can use a different normal lens version if you want):
Download standard rear + front cam: cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_v3.6
Download wide rear + front cam: cstark27_GCam_5.1.018_24_wide_v3.6
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no model or config to set, you should be good to go after installing. But here is the setup:
-Normal Lens APK Config:
--LG G6
---Rear Model: Nexus 6 (shamu), Front Model: Huawei Nexus 6P (angler)
--All other devices
---Rear Model: Pixel 2 XL (taimen), Front Model: Huawei Nexus 6P (angler)
-Wide Lens APK Config:
--LG G6
---Rear Model: Nexus 6P (angler), Front Model: Huawei Nexus 6P (angler)
--LG G5, V20, V30
---Rear Model: Pixel 2 XL (taimen), Front Model: Huawei Nexus 6P (angler)
Previous Versions:
cstark27 v3.5
-Clearing App Data is recommended. Open "Camera"> Settings>About>View App Settings Page>Storage>Clear Data
-Added Advanced>HDR+ Enhanced Portrait Mode : This forces Portrait Mode to use HDR+ Enhanced which will offer better dynamic range but you lose Zero Shutter Lag (Thanks Arnova8G2 for this cool trick)
-Added Advanced>HDR+ Enhanced Adaptive Shutter Speed : This is the Slow Shutter mod from miniuser123. I would say this is "beta" for LG devices. I know on my V30 some tuning is needed to the parameters but I want your guys feedback first. It only affects HDR+ Enhanced. The shutter speed will slow down the darker your scene is. You probably want a tripod or something to prop your phone against, for best sharpness. In normal lighting the shutter speed seems to be the same as before so I don't think it would be a negative to leave this on - but it's your choice and needs testing.
-Added LG G6 Lineage Camera ID Fix toggle to Wide Angle APK so there shouldn't need to be separate Lineage builds for G6 anymore
-Optimizations courtesy of Arnova8G2
cstark27 v3.4
-Added Lens Blur Mode on side menu
-Added Advanced>LG G6 Color Fix from cstark27 v3
-Removed Zero Shutter Lag option from Wide Angle due to issue with very over-exposed highlights. Will be brought back when this issue is fixed.
-Removed Disable ZSL toggle as it did not fix anything and caused more problems
cstark27 v3.1 standard and v3.2 wide
-JPEG quality increased to 98% by default
-Removed LG G6 Color Fix option hoping the model change fixes their color issues (you may Delete Data of the app)
-HDR+ Parameters moved to Advanced menu
cstark27 v3 wide angle beta 1 (with LG G6 LineageOS patch)
-Separate APK based off cstark27 v3
-Fix front camera crash
-Change "config" to Nexus 6P (ZSL on the wide angle does not process HDR+ currently, so this ensures the user always gets HDR+ processing)
cstark27 v3 wide angle alpha
-Separate APK based off cstark27 v3
-ALPHA version of wide angle support
cstark27 v3
-fix G6 video (and probably other Android 7.0 devices) thanks to Arnova8G2
-add LG G6 Color Fix option under advanced thanks to Arnova8G2
cstark27 v2.1
-EXIF fix, thanks Arnova8G2
-Enable HDR+ toggle by default
-Uncheck camera:use_photos by default to increase stability (turn back on and test if you want. Enabling this makes it use Google Photos.)
-Uncheck camera:enable_micro by default to increase stability (turn back on and test if you want. Enabling this enables Motion Photos for Oreo only(?)
cstark27 v2
-fixed video on Pixel configs for LG V30
cstark27 v1
-based off Scrubber's APK
-forced model of front camera to Nexus 6P for proper HDR+ Processing and color (thanks BSG)
-rear model is set to Taimen
As always, thanks to Scrubber (whose APK I started with), Arnova8G2, BSG.

I'm on a G5, and my camera crashes when playing with lens blur on the back lens. Any ideas on how to fix it? I did clear the data as you suggested.

I have no problem with mine with the normal and wide lens apps. Try un-installing both apps and do a clean up of the phone with a phone cleaner, then re-install both apps.

I don't know what you mean by a "clean up" app but after running Power Clean or whatever it's called my camera still crashes.

That's what I meant, then I have no idea what's causing this.
The last solution might be to reset your phone to factory.
Go check on the original topic if anyone as the same issue.

no because google's phones doesn't have sd card so google have only the option to store it in internal storage.
I don't know if a developer can change this from within the code without creating bugs and crashes
Has anybody successfully installed and used AR stickers on the G5? tried many times with multiple apks but so far no success
Sadly doenst work on G5 SE (looks like there's no Gcam that works with it), but works really great on mine Zenfone 3!!! Thanks very much!!! I didnt like the photo preview from portrait pictures compared to Arnova, but now I have HDR+ working which is awesome!!!
Hi. I am using this apk of cstark WITHOUT ROOT and the photos look amazing. The only problem I have is that I can not record at 1080p 60fps even if I select that quality. will it be because I have to activate the camera 2 api?
Although it says that it's been tested on an LG G5, when attempting to install onto my LG G5 SE it says that it's incompatible.
(Downloaded only the standard APK due to network connectivity issues)

GCam 7 and 6 for Lenovo P2 [Android 8, 9 and 10] 13th August 2020

Dear friends,
November has been a very productive month for P2 owners with all sorts of Pie ROMs roaming around. But what everyone wants is a stable ROM with a working port of GCam 6.1 because it has got the magical "Night Sight" feature which actually does magic in low light.

Google Camera 7
GCam_7.0.009_A_011.apk by marlin-ku
Features:
Night Sight replaced Panorama
Swipe down to access quick settings to enable one-hand usage
Quick toggle for ISO/Exposure Time for HDR+ and Night Sight
Time Lapse up to 120x

Bugs:
Face retouching isn't working even in Night Sight unless you select "test key Pixel2017 or 2016" from "Mask". However, it will disable the Portrait mode
SlowMo not working. However, it never works for me with GCam so try it yourself.
Google Camera 7 may only work with Android 9 and above. Please, test yourself if you are on Android 8 and report in the thread.
Google Camera 7 for Android 10
PMGC_7.0.009_PopugVersion_V11_1
Front camera greenish photos under dim light can be corrected by doing few things:
1. Enable HDR+ enhanced from drop down menu
2. Go into advanced settings and set time for front camera "1/5s" in ISO/ Exposure Time HDR+ or ISO 100. 1/5 captures photos faster though.
3. Reduce HDR+ frames to 5-10. Whenever you want to capture night shots without flash then enable HDR+ enhanced.
Configuration file
Video Capture Issues:
GCam is bad at capturing videos with P2.
Hence, install Open Camera, select 30 fps from video setting of the app then select audio source as default or optimised for voice recognition.
Keep resolution at 1080p for capturing, otherwise app will force close.
Adjust exposure while capturing videos at will.
This solution would work on Android 10 as well and it will record audio too.
Don't forget to test capture video to understand how it works.
Note: Config files are given as attachments.
What works:
Portrait, Night Sight, Face Retouching, AR Stickers, Playground, Photobooth, Panorama, RAW image, Video capture, Photo sphere, Lens, Motion Capture, Super Res-Zoom (Full zoom with HDR+ enabled), SlowMo (ROM dependent), Lens Blur

It is not my work at all so don't forget to Support and Thank the worthy developers who are working day&night for a flawless modded GCam for Android devices.
Also share if your favorite ROM allows this Gcam port to work in full swing. Sharing of some photos will be an added benefit. Peace!

I didn't play with it much because I couldn't get a chance to check it in clear outdoors but the attached photos might be useful.

As far as I know, RR is the only 8.1 ROM for P2 with almost zero or controllable bugs so an upgrade to RR should do the trick.

May be the camera is not focusing the object you are capturing. First touch the area you want to focus and then capture. Otherwise, restart the app. I tried a few flash photos and found that it did shoot few overexposed photos. I restarted the app and it was all good again.
