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?

Requirements: Android
Overview: The new Camera app that originated from Tech From 10′s test Android Market, but for whatever reason, may not work on some phones but currently working on Gingerbread DX and others.
SO what's the difference between this and the previous Cam?
I don't have the Macro setting for some reason.

Me the same.
For first lock new version has no difference with stock.
Oh, and I seem to have lost my widescreen photo settings.
thx for the apk file
thanks but i prefer the sense camera !
force closes when i switch to video
I haven't the macro setting
the sense camera is the best, it even has a face detection feature, the stock android camera is really, well the android developers in charge of the YouTube app and camera app, should just get fired, thats just my own and personal opinion.
im sorry if i offend anybody, but i just had to say it.
Yeah...sense camera have touch focus too...

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.
Hi all,
I've got a problem:
When im taking photos with my rooted incredible s runnning aosp rom (CM7, MIUI all versions, icsbeta) the quality is very bad and the focus is very laggy, there is also alot of overexposure. Theres also alot grain in darker pictures.
When im installing sense based roms (tried 3) then the quality and focus/exposure is good again.
for some pictures you can pm me and you will get them asop, cant post pictures yet.

This is a issue on all aosp roms because they don't have HTC camera drivers. However there is a aosp ics rom called virtuous quattro 4.0.3 that doesn't have camera lag however its not fully working.
God damn it I love this question.
Thats really the biggest weak point of aosp.
The roms are just great!, i like miui alot!
But the downside is the cam,
I've not seen this question somewere else, is it that only the ins suffers the most?
Other cam apps wont bother.
I just want best of both worlds together.
The cam of htc rulezz and interface and possibilities of miui rulezz.
(With MIUI i get 3200quadrant
and 3750 antutu oc stable on 1.5)
All HTC phones run crap camera rez without sense
My CM7 seems decent quality with no lag?

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
camerazoomfx and vignette(good post processing)
I know, there are always problems with the cam in 4.4.2 - unfortunely.
But meanwhile I need a full working cam, so which custom-roms are highly recommend?
Thanx in advance.
PS: I'm well aware that I have to install a version lower than 4.4.2
I have 6 different cameras that work great on rooted 4.4.2 but it is still locked AT&T I-537 so not a complete custom ROM
Including: Stock Android camera, S4 GPe camera, Cymera, Focal and Google Camera. All are free. What doesn't work on yours?
Often the pictures are very overexposed. I can see it in the cam-modus. If I restart the camapp, it is normal exposed.

Would be glad to hear answer to this. Or is it just that every custom ROM (4.4.2) has this problem?
I'm really waiting forward to have KitKat in my S4 Active (nordic countries), as now I can't use for example Polar's sport applications with my official 4.2.*
You can't expect too much from this camera. It will do decent pics, but not more. Which is just fine by my standards.
Stock 4.2.2 camera works best overall, both with photos and videos. For other ROMs (4.3 and 4.4), photos are ok, but the video side has always been poor, regardless of the app or ROM used. Especially the sound volume, which is way too low, really frustrating.
Maybe things will improve with official 4.4.2 and hopefully ROM developers will manage to catch up with Touchwiz when it comes to the camera.
It shouldn't be long now.

I'm now testing unofficial CM11 for SGS4A. I agree - doing decent pics would be just fine, IF camera wouldn't freeze after changing the settings Well, waiting...

I use @spegelius's CM11 build from 03.05 and it's all I need. The only freeze/crash events occur when trying to shoot the first pic after switching to and from HDR. After that it works smooth, although HDR is not really important to me. The other thing is the first film you try to record when switching from 1080p to 720p, which comes out unviewable. I couldn't find any other flaw with the rest of the functions.
The 03.05 is the build you need, if you don't use it already.
