So I've been using these for the past couple of days, both on stock CM11 and on Carbon. These have been pulled straight from the Oneplus One and should work on any ROM that has CM11 as a base. Try them out if you want.

Both apps is working on AOSB.
IMO the camera app is even better than Moto X camera.
Loving the gallery. Thanks!
Thanks fallendown,
I've spent the whole morning looking for and testing alternative Camera.apk for my phone
and I can say that this is the one that will get it's spot in the system/app folder :victory:
It is essentially the same camera as the CM11's one but with [imho] a much better user interface.
[I've never been a fan of the simili-pie control settings of Camera2.apk].
For others that could be tempted to test drive it, here are few more of my observations*:
*: [tested on a 4-5 days old CM11 nightly build]
- you can install the camera as either a stand-alone [unkonown sources checked] apk OR push it to: system/app [and set its permissions as other file in there] [and reboot];
- you can manually and independently set the front/rear camera resolutions to 16:9 ratio [cropped to 6MP for back] [which is exactly what I was after to begin with so :good: :good:];
- you can hand-pick the scene modes that you frequently use.
Let's say: cloudy, portrait, backlight, actionmode, nightmode, etc.
Then you can directly swipe up/down on the cam screen to flick through/apply them.
No need to have to fight with the phone with muddy mountain bike gloves on some tiny little camera settings buttons and have to scroll through a 3 pages-long list of scene modes on a cloudy day....
..pretty awesome if you ask me!!
OK, phone's charging and has to cool down; testing the crap out of 4-5 installed cameras got the battery bloody hot...
Time to go decompile that beast and see what theming magic I can add to it ;-p
Thanks again for the find. :thumbsup:
Cheers,
/AL
Edit: it turns out that "cloudy" is not a scene mode but a white balance [set with one or two small button touch] but the rest remains true and you guys get the point I'm sure. Here are two screenshots to make up for the slight mistake. /A

I wanted to create a thread specifically for showing pictures taken with either the Desire Camera ported to the Nexus, or the stock camera app. In my opinion, the desire camera takes better pictures, even if very slightly. But who knows? And maybe we can learn something from each other about how to take better pictures with this awesome phone?
Please put along with your photos:
Camera (Desire or Stock)
Lighting source (indoors/outdoors)
Megapixel level
ISO Level
Changes in brightness/contrast/saturation/sharpness or any relevant settings
Focus (Auto/Off/Tap to Focus)
White Balance
Any other settings changed from default, or relevant information.
Pens at my work
After clicking on link, Right click on picture and hit View Image in Firefox (and whatever is the equivalent method in IE and other browsers)
Desire Camera
Indoor lighting
5 Megapixel level
ISO 100
Tap to Focus (on yellow marker)
Auto White Balance
I should really do some comparison shots, Ive got a stock N1 I can get my hands on, 720p'ed rooted custom etc N1, a stock desire and a froyo'ed desire
I compared the stock camera and the one that comes with CM RC3 and it turns out that both have almost same output. Camera360, however, does a pathetic job sometimes. The night mode (and the enhance contrast mode) on Camera360 does a *brilliant* job though.

What camera comes with CM RC3?
How is this in the QandA section? This isn't a question! Mods please move it back to general!
I know you can take panoramic photo's with the camera on the phone by taking multiple photos..
But is there an app like on the Taylor swift commercial that you just sweep the camera around the room?
Not that I have seen, but why? That feature works perfectly in the camera, you don't really need an app for this.
I'm pretty sure its basically the same thing. The Samsung camera software just gives you a green box to follow and makes a camera sound when you reach it... you're still sweeping from left to right in real time.
Any way to get higher res panorama with the stock camera? The panorama is 640x480 photos stitched together.

The phone does this with the built in app. You can move the phone in a sweeping motion and it will take 8 sequential shots. This can be done in either landscape or portrait mode.
When sweeping the camera a green outline will appear in the area of the next shot to help you properly align the photo. When the outlined area is centered on the screen then the phone automatically captures the next image...wash, rinse, repeat.
I have been using this feature a lot lately since the pictures are gorgeous and it is awesome for group photos. A fun thing I like to do is have someone move along to the next shot and pose so you get a strange clone effect of one person throughout the scene.

Have you tried the action shooting mode? Does a very similar thing.
I too would like to see an app that used higher res images (640x480 really does not cut it)
I would also like to see something that could take 360 degree photos, not just moving the camera left to right but also up and down.
Well that's just the sensor setting, the final resolution will be much greater than that in one direction. Holding the phone vertically will give a nice photo. But I would like a 1080 vertical mode for my dual monitor setup and no black lines.

Yeah, but a panorama that's about 550px tall and has fairly obvious seams makes it less of a big falk that the phone stitched out all by itself. Oh well, if you want it nice you really need a camera with a proper mount, anyway, and preferably raw output, and striving on a computer...

Hello xda
I would like to ask for assistance regarding changing the orientation of the camera in paranoid android
For a really long time now, regardless of the custom rom, i've always had the phone oriented landscape when taking pictures. I recently downloaded paranoid android 3.99 and i'm happy to see that the graphics problem with cm10,1 based anrdoid 4.3 roms seems to have been fixed. I did notice now though that the phone should be oriented profile to take pictures.
i tested taking pictures in profile for a few days and i noticed that the edges look a bit distorted and it's really difficult to take pictures of scenery because it's hard to fit everything in profile.
How do i change this back to landscape? I've checked hybrid settings and the settings of the phone and i tried different search words in search but i couldn't find anything.
thank you
In these thread i try to collect the best working gCam Version for the Xiaomi Mi A2 with the best functional and stable config. I get a lot of private messages because of the lack of good configurations. I try nearly every gCam version in the wild and always check the website from "celsoazevedo" for newer ones. Big THX to him, for the nice collection (www.celsoazevedo.com) and the Devs of the different kind of gCam mods. This mods are incredible and a game changer in the smartphone market! THX
Requierment: Activate Camera2Api
Best working Version so far (04.10.2018):
GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3bfix.apk
Info: Focus Dots on clear blue sky can be reproduced. On yellow (i have just a yellow book and a banana) is nothing to see. I will added the strengh of focus dots to my criteria. In the attachment are three cropped pictrure (1/9 of the pic - center/focus) of clear bright blue sky, a bookcover with an own structure and a banana - all in heavy sunlight. The dots are just slithly visible in the sky... The Focus Dots on SkulShady builds are way stronger and bigger. I will test more builds in the next days.
Whats not working (with this version+config):
- 1080p in 60fps (heavy zoom - every gCam Version)
- 4K Video (Fatal Error - every gCam Version)
- Motion Pictures ('No HDR' & 'HDR+' - brake frontcam in normal mode)
Missing Features:
- Google Lens (need build 5.3.x)
- 20MP front-cam mode (just 5MP - every gCam Version, because camera2api limitation)
Working:
- All Photo features front+back
(Panorama, Photo Spehre, Focus Effect, Portrait)
- No HDR, HDR+, HDR+ enchased
- 1080p (30fps)
- Slow Motion Video (120fps)
- RAW+JPEG
- front focus led in 'No HDR' pictures
See config in the Attachment! :highfive: and dont forget to close and restart the app after configuration.
Update (06.10.2018): A new (older release) gladiator entered the arena to mess with Arnovas release. In reason of focus dots i played around with this version of gcam (THX to saneklic):
GCamera_Mod_v.5.1.23_R5Plus_fix_crash.apk
Unfortunatly its very cloudy in marroco, but first tests show no focus dots. More tests and a deep comparision (even with longer exposure pics) will follow. The important thing is, this release support the same video and photo capabilities. But more tests will come... At first this release is the new compatitor. The settings are complete different and i think, maybe low light might be difficult to beat, compared to Arnovas release - but we will
Update ENdOfLife: My device rebooted and stayed in a bootloop. I tryed to flash just the boot img etc. but the storage mmc gets corrupted :silly: all my vacation pics are gone. Thank sou Xiaomi. I send the device back and bought a OnePlus 6. Thats why im out here - sorry! :crying:
My Device: Xiaomi Mi A2 64/4 (no root/camera2api :good

Im actually for 10days in Marraco and make every picrure with the gCam (bright, dark, high contrast pictures) and cant recognize any focus dots :fingers-crossed. But i will take care about that dots
Update: i made some bright blue sky pics and can see the dots. I will try to find a plane yellow surface. But actually all seems fine. (I know, Arnova posted about a wrong raw mode from the dual camera driver - but still, i cant the any dot).
Update2: On a yellow book i photographed is nothing to see. But i put my attention to the strengh of the dots
Update 3: yellow banana in bright sun - no dots.

Im sure, front cam just works right now, when you switch at first to portrait mode and then switch to frontcam.

Which settings use you?
Found a couple of bugs in the native camera app so far. One of them I posted in another thread which is the inability to turn off the obnoxiously loud camera shutter sound. There are even slider toggles to do it found in two different places in the camera app, but enabling and disabling the toggle does not turn off the sound.
The second one has to do with the beauty mode when taking selfies. When using the selfie camera, if you select the beautification option at the top (the icon that looks like a girl's head), you'll see 3 options at the bottom: Origin, Auto, and Personal. If you select Personal, you can adjust individual settings for things like slim face, smoothing, eye size, skin tone, color and brightness by utilizing a slider for each option. Well with the SMOOTH option, the placement of the slider that you choose NEVER sticks where you want it. For example, if you set the slider to 30 (it goes from 0 to 100) and then go to another option like eye size, and then come back to the smoothing option, the slider will not be where you put it. From what I can tell, the SMOOTH option is the only option where the slider never stays where you put it. It's pretty maddening. I've tried to clear the cache and data of the camera app but that doesn't work. In addition, the slim face option is hit and miss. When adjusting it you can see it trying to slim your face the farther you slide it to the right, but sometimes the app bugs out and it goes back and forth from slim to fat to slim to fat, etc. It's just buggy.
In the multi shot mode the EXIF metadata is not correct. It seems that the EXIF data from one of the modules (the one in focus?) is written to the two other images too.
In the "normal" camera mode the "2x" module works in the 35mm equivalent mode what is about 1.2-1.3x.
In the manual and the 64MP mode the 2x module is cropped an upscaled so that the label 2x is matching.
RAW/DNG images from ProShot show that the "2x" module is in fact a 1.2-1.3x module with an equivalent focal length of 35mm.
Is is also a shame that the multishot excludes the 2x module and incorporates only the 0.5x, 1x and 5x module producing a huge zoom gap in series.
Firmware MyOS12.0.8_A2022PG_G LB camera slows down in video mode, shoots jerkily. how to fix?
