New Stock JB camera from port from Google edition HTC One and Galaxy S4

Hey I have tested the port app from the Google edition HTC One (GS4) and it works like a charm on my Xperia Z with Android 4.2.2.
All functions including Photosphere work when accessed from the Gallery app. The Camera shortcut does crash sometimes. All you have to do is just download the APK and install it on your phone. It will not replace your stock camera app so you can just install it and use it as an alternative.
You can download it from this website: http://android.hdblog.it/2013/06/27...e-galleria-di-ones4-google-edition-per-tutti/
Or here is a Google Drive link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1liTNaofBHRQTNHZzQ2V1YyaTQ/edit

Sorry if it is s stupid question but does this app give you any better pics? Specially when there is low light or night time...I get pathetic images on stock app during night time...red dots all over..

Is it possible to put this camera in the lockscreen (Where now the XZ camera is)?
I tried to search to replace it, but nowhere to find (for me )

Here is a quick test result:

Top man. Works nicely. Confusing as hell to use though.

I played a little with photosphere app. Great app. But the picture quality is not very good when zooming.
I compare 2 photoshere from the same point (one with my Xperia Z, one with S4 not google edition).
The one from S4 is much more sharp than the one from Xperia Z. What a pity...

Alternative Camera App
Reckon I will give this one a shot in a little bit. Was trying to get the Honami Camera app to work last night after de-odexing new Stock ROM, but this might keep me content until Honami is updated for new Firmware. Nice One !:laugh:

Camera application from lenovo flagship set with 13mp

This is a new camera application from Lenovo flagship set with maximum number of features including HDR.
"Lenovo Smart Camera software means enabling intelligent smile correction, auto face 'make-up' editing effects, and auto-exposure mode "
I'm amazed by the quality of the camera. Takes sharp and good pictures than our stock camera also no yellow/pink tint and smooth video recording and now that's what I call 1080p full hd
and also gallery has lot of editing features like beauty , special effects and I love gif creator.
All you say is wow after installing this app.
( If you don't know about lenovo flagship set " It is the device with 13mp camera with 1080p display and is powered by Intel".

Thanks Good application :thumbup::thumbup:

Woah, it is sharp as mentioned and much lower noise than our Sony camera app. However, I couldnt find the setting to make it 16:9. May not be that big an issue, can always crop using editor. But the main thing is, this app by a china company interestingly beat the Japanese in terms of software.

i like this app because it is better than stock camera app, more effect and more details

A cimplete port for this and if all function is working...this would be a masterpiece which break the stock camera...this app is amazing

Too buggy right now on CM10.2
Looks good, but all effects crash the app. Focal on the other hand is light weight, good, and fast.

Picture quality really is awesome =)

we need to find the system dump , so a developer can get the libs which use these features which dont work

nice camera app from lenovo flagship set with 13mp

Just instal and see the difference. You'll love this camera app with sharp pictures and less noise.
This can be installed on optimus 4x hd. The camera app has functions like hdr , lots of cool effects,
etc.
This app can be downloaded from official Z thread.
I take no credit . Thanks to one who helped to poty this cool camera app.
Official thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415295

I like it, thanks. Not perfect, some options don't work (eg. shutte sound set to off still plays) and the gallery is portrait only, but quite good app. Only thing left is to see if 5+ MB pics are corrupted like with stock.
Yup, still corrupted :c

Nice app. Burst and panaroma options make the application crash when selected.
You can record videos in gif format and the gallery application is quite good.

Thnx, I like the app on my 4X HD

Thanks for sharing, really work great on our phone. Though the burst and panaroma mode having bug of crashing, but not big deal to me since never use these 2 features. Importantly is it improve a lot on low light capturing, especially on video mode.

Gallery keep crashing... Camera works on slim..

try this one too. it works for me. almost everything works(low light is working, amazing one. effect works, front camera works, picture in picture works, video recording works, gallery works). the few things that didn't work for me are the burst mode(don't even try to use it, it will drive you crazy), panorama mode(just crash), HDR(?, not sure, takes picture but don't see any differences).
i'm using cyanogenmod 11 official, today's build.

same thing lol it works great.

after a day, this app went crazy and made my cpu stay at 100% almost all the time.
Deleted it and now its fine

I tried it on CM11 20140107 version and iodak v9.1 and it takes better pictures regarding the frontal camera, while it's the opposite with the main camera.
It has many settings and options and I would recommend it for its pictures taken from the frontal camera.
O.t.: I would like to know if there's any way to improve the brightness of the frontal camera during videocalls..

Google Camera is Dark again

I am running the latest 5.0 build from Google and my friend is running the latest 4.4.4 build. We are both completely stock and have noticed with the last Camera Update that when you switch to camcorder mode it gets considerably darker. I thought they fixed this issue and yet we have it again.

The videos are darker for me too . i think have done this to maintain the frame rate at 30fps .

That makes sense, but makes the camcorder useless in low light situations.

Other camera apps maybe

I was about to say that setting isn't available when in video mode. L Camera is promising, but they haven't started with the camcorder yet. Its just pictures
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

I think this behavior is intended. I see the same thing happening to my gf's iPhone 6.

Its in every phone... To maintain 30fps.. Before 4.4.2 videos were brighter but at 25fps.. Videos weren't smooth on 25fps hence google modified it

Just forget about "stock", I use simple AOSP and camcorder is actually brighter than actual scene...

What camera are y'all using

Stock or is there some better for nexus 7 specifically?

You mean Nexus 6? I use stock.
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/01/1...ext-purchase-if-you-own-a-nexus-5-or-nexus-6/ looks promising but lack of features.
Gives me hope that a better camera software will be available because stock takes awhile to take a shot.

I'm using Camera FV-5. I love the DSLR type controls.

16:9 would be nice. Obviously there will be no HDR + which I use mostly... Not sure if they'll do true HDR in the future.

i use the google camera and aosp camera. a better camera is good, since they started using the api2 with it. but it has an issue with focusing at the moment.

Manual Camera by GD Software is best overall camera. Worth every penny. You can find on App Store.

The camera for nexus is going to update with the new api's. You can Google it and its being developed on as we speak. Cheers

Using FV-5 for the RAW format captures if it's a photo I'll want to keep. Stock camera if I have to snap a photo to share on hangouts or FB.

I bought it but I hate how the settings do not save
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

I've read about Manual Camera and how there are a few major issues with it (no front camera access, no videos, no saving of settings etc) but the positives are very good too (fast, good control, RAW). With a few updates it could become the best camera for the Nexus 6.
Reports that Google are updating the camera aren't all that informative and I dont expect the stock Google camera to have dramatic changes in post-processing abilities, speed, options or anything else. They MIGHT add RAW, but then the post-processing of photos through the stock camera (as well as speed) do not compared to other cameras out there (especially on other phones...Note 4, 6+ etc.).
If I were anyone wanting a new camera experience, I'd keep an eye on Manual Camera.

I can't help but feel the RAW thing is a bit of a gimmick on a phone though, and I say that as someone who shoots exclusively in RAW.
The benefits of using RAW are negated by the relative lack of quality in the camera itself (Compared with a DSLR for example) so realistically, I think it's a catchy term that'll appeal to those who aren't a big fan of the stock camera.
