We all know z2 has a solid stock camera app. But on cm and cm based rom we cannot use it
So what are you guys using it? Any comparisons of photos taken with different camera apps? And how do photos compare to stock rom? Do share your experience
Im using stock camera app, but Pictures Come a bit too bright for me. Could anyone recommend any good camera app?
It doesn't matter what camera app you use really, as CM (and all AOSP ROM's) use the same camera driver, and Kali used a hack to get it to work using Z1 code (don't know the actual term) so... It will always be substantially poor compared to stock. I know this thread isn't actually a comparison between the two, I'm just stating the facts and eventually I'm sure Kali (or another Dev) will fix it and use proper Z2 cam code. Then, we will have a truly next to flawless AOSP camera and ROM.
I'm just using Google Camera for lack of a better one. It's not great but it gets the job done.
The camera on both stock and CM give the same result. Its only the post processing that the stock app does that changes the result.
For testing, install Google camera on stock and click pictures. Do the same on CM and compare your results.

Hey hey try out this Camera :laugh: It looks exactly like the stock Nexus 5 camera and it is the best I have tried. :victory:
Tip: The Google Play Store will view it as the Google Camera you are using and will ask for an update , I recommend you not to do it
ENJOY !!! :good: :good: :good:
Please hit "thanks" if I helped you

Hopefully we will see some camera improvements when Android L have been released and CM updated.

Just a quick tip guys, I had issues with low quality photos in CM11, I tried ProCapture app and in good daylight the pictures turn out to be good and as good as stock, in low light you'll have to tweak the settings a bit but you can manage to get pretty decent pics. SO yeah, for the benefits CM11 gives, I can completely live with it by using a third party app
I see that MIUI port has stock XZ2 camera. If so, is there any way to use on CM11 as well? Any tips?

I have a stock camera (4.4.4) and I am not happy at all with my camera. :/ Most photos are not clear, landscape mode takes bad photos (one part of the photo is good/zoomed, biger part is blur).
I heard some stories about Z2 with good camera and Z2 with bad camera, can thia be true, although it sounds ridicilous.

Agree.. I tried cm11 snapshot m12, All pictures of mine turns out too bright. The front one especially pixalated with weird coloured dots like a 0.5mp camera which I used to have when I had an old Nokia phone. Other than this, cm is a perfect rom.. Hope there are still development on this while with all the hype on lollipop(not sure if the camera code will get better by then)
I recommend the OnePlusOne camera! It's faster, more organized in terms of menus and I think that the image quality is little bit better because of the filters used... :good:

My bad for bumping a few months old topic but I had the same issue as the OP and this was probably the only place I can see fit for me to post.
Anyways, I followed what you have said to get Camera IC's.. I got it and its working great! Pretty much like the stock camera but I have a problem however, there's an issue with the framerate... Would there be a solution for this?

Hi, if anyone wants to try the Moto x camera for the OnePlus here is the link . I don't know if I can post it here. I did not make this apk , thanks to whoever did. It works very smooth, its very simple and I think the autofocus works much better then stock One Plus camera.

Maybe it can´t be installed when using ART?
Works for me on CM11 nightly, but the pictures look pretty bad. Not surprising, since this is Motorola we are talking about.

I've found the moto camera to be better than the Opo camera. Or any other smartphone for that matter.
Works great on Nameless! Thanks!
I installed it but there is a problem. You can only take normal pictures. What I mean by that is like... you cant change it to Night View.. or turn HDR on/off... aqua view.. and so forth.. Camera works but the settings are not changeable.
Coloured line??
I also have the "no settings" thing going on and on top of that there is a white/yellow vertical line while i am taking photos.
But i still prefer this camera app over stock camera app.
Simple point and shoot. Does take great pictures though. Nice find!
Anyone have the latest motorola camera apk working on our phones?
any improvements comparing to the stock camera app?
Who in the world would like to want a crappy camera app that can't even focus on subject. Moto x users rooting their devices to remove that app. and we are trying to install it here. Great

So based on you're experience which camera app would you suggest? I am kind of shocked to find that the camera app is so slow. My Blackberry Q10 is very quick compared to my Turbo.

I really like the Google camera app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera&hl=en
Unfortunately on the turbo it still does have some lag. Hopefully that will be fixed with future OTA updates.
The main thing I like about Google's app is the option to take photosphere images and panoramas. I know the stock camera app does panoramas but Google's app allows for much higher quality images.
I have taken some really awesome images using this app.
Lenovo Supercamera is great. Adds lots of effects and options, more so than stock camera on S5

Latest, 3.6.7 with permissions removed. Definitely works for me. Maybe restart too - sometimes it seems like camera apps can lock another out.

Thanks to everyone who posted. I actually really like both of those options and will probably use both. Anyone ever try any fisheye lenses?

Do you see this as well on your install?
Yes, those resolutions are correct for the Turbo camera (even though they say a lower MP).
The 5248x3936 is the same as the full 21mp (Standard) mode, and the 5248 x 2952 is the same as the 15.5mp (Widescreen) mode. Assuming that this is what your asking?
Exactly what i was asking. I figured it was cosmetic. Just wanted to be sure.
I will the first update might have sped up my camera. When I left the store it was slow, as I read about. Next day I searched for updates and got one. My camera is normal now. The only issue I notice is swiping to pictures from the camera, it swipes right away, then the screen "blinks" real fast. Might try a different camera to compare though.

Perhaps more tinkering in the ladybug settings could help, or the ability to reduce mp size further?

Yep, other than the resolution displaying wrong it worked good too. I ended up installing the moto camera+ and taking a bunch of samples to compare the two, found it to not take any better pics than the moto camera + with the settings unlocked.

sadly looks like they didn't add slow motion... kinda bs.
installed it and yeah no slow mo but still this could help the dev's to make that happen much easier since now we have a working apk. fingers crossed...
Actually really disappointed from Google...just a simple restyle for old nesuxes without any port of the new functions.
No good.

right. its an app, not something that adds features. since slow mo isnt a n6 feature, it wont be there, but will be there for the n6p as it has that feature.
I've been using the hydrogen os camera from the oneplus forums and slow motion in that camera has been working for my phone.

how can u keep saying that when other phones with the same hardware (their camera), can do slow mo recording at 120fps?
it's definitely not a "feature" problem, it's a choice from google not to add the function just to sell their new phone.

It's the stock camera app for nexus, not just a camera app from Google. Every mobile producer improves stock apps to have better features if the hardware can handle.
Not even burst mode...come on...

It's just hdr automatic. The camera will determine if it needs to use hdr to capture a scene or not. That's all.

Hi. I am interested in getting this phone.. But most of the camera tests I see online, the images are too dark. Also, strangely, although images are generally underexposed, they still somehow manage to blow out highlights sometimes.
I am very impressed with the camera quality apart from the issues stated above, but surely they are software issues and can be fixed with a patch or alternative camera app?
Thanks

Everything can be fixed and by far improved using the GCam. Search the thread for examples.
Thanks
I saw some pictures but they didn't seem hugely better to me.
Plus most apps need a root to install?
I wouldnt wan't to buy a phone and risk installing an app and then can't send it back if I'm not happy.
Do you know a link for some good picture and video samples?
Thanks

There was one where the Stock camera was better I think.
But all the others the Gcam looked quite a lot better.
And does the Gcam also give better video recording?
