I just saw a phone yesterday Samsung Nexus Prime I9250 and the camera is almost same as our phone 5MP with LED flash. but the features and quality of the pictures capture by it was awsome. Then I checked it has update of Android 4.2.2. Its panorama shooting mode is awsome. Is that possible that we mode our default camera to that features camera?? And if anybody has done already then could anyone provide me link? I checked all the threads reg. camera but could not find it so, I created a saprate thread for that.
I suppose you're talking about the galaxy nexus. It has a better sensor. It is capable of capturing 1080P video and also, it performs better at low light.
There aren't any software mods which can totally compensate for hardware limitations. However, you could try installing certain camera applications and see if it helps you in any way.
And regarding the panorama you're taking about, it's called photospehere. As far as my knowledge serves, we do not have any mod for that.

Just wondering who's using an aftermarket camera app on their N6 since the stock Google Camera app is pretty basic. In particular, I'm wondering about a good camera app that can do burst mode and slow mo video. Ideally, free, of course without ads, but if it's a really good app, I don' t have issues purchasing.
I've seen/researched various camera apps on Google Play that have the features and are rated well, but haven't seen/read any reviews (that i can find) about one being used specifically with the N6.
Any thoughts/recommendations?
questions go into q&a not into general. general information goes here.
I have camera fv5, a batter camera, and some others but in my own opinion google or AOSP cameras take the best pictures especially with HDR+
What do you think is the beat camera app for the nexus 6??

For the N6? Manual Camera! Lovin this app! It's still a work in progress, but it is a very cool app.

I switched from Manual camera to Camera FV-5, which also uses the new APIs (so it can output DNG). It is a lot more polished and stable than Manual Camera.

Manual camera capture in 4:3 and you cant change quality and HDR seems very broken or non functional.
Very slow shutter rate, aosp and google camera is so much faster, Manual Camara not worth it at all.

It seems you have missed the idea of the app. It's called MANUAL CAMERA!
You don't change "quality" settings. You don't have HDR mode. Those are AUTOMATIC modes. This is a MANUAL application that allows you to adjust MANUAL settings like ISO, Shutter Speed, Over/Under exposure, white balance, etc. If you want all the "programmed" or "automatic" settings that come in the camera app, then use the camera app!
And if your shutter rate is slow, it's because you have a SLOW SHUTTER SPEED selected!!!!
Complaining about an app that is doing what it's supposed to do, is epitome if stupidity!
ARGH!!!!!!!

The app works perfectly fine on my Nexus 6 and I really like the manual options. Too bad it's not possible to edit the raw images on the phone yet.
And the low fps isn't a problem on a phone for me because the auto focus isn't that fast anyway.
A timer for timelapse photos could be a nice feature.

Edit RAW with Photo Mate R2 in PlayStore.

Manual Camera was updated to v2.1 today, and it is now showing as incompatible on the N6. Anyone else seeing this?
seem problem incompatible N6
Edit : the fix should be available for download in an hour or two in play store

Google kinda dropped the ball on it. Hopefully it will be functionality added in at some point.
core issues with N6 video before slo-mo can happen

My sense is there are some very serious issue preventing slo-mo. That is, slo-mo you want to share because it would be close to garbage as it stands.
I shoot video frequently and was very unhappy when I got my N6.
- signal to noise (S/N) is not good on this device at this stage of the game. It simply is noisy, and it is correctable in software. Until then, slo-mo will be very nasty if anyone is brave enough to try to encode it.
- exposure compensation in video mode is poor - if you shoot a video of a person sitting in front of a blank wall (or a sky) and slowly pan up and down - you can see the exposure compensation "clicking" in stairstep manner as the device adjusts to brightness changes. It needs to be silky smooth or video looks like crap. It can be corrected in software.
- you can workaround the exposure issue by using a third party app which locks exposure compensation - but shooting video with locked exposure compensation is not a good solution.
my opinions.
@warriorpluto I couldn't agree more...I was hoping that there be at least a working port of maybe lenovo, sense 6 camera,z2 or z3 camera...maybe when more devices get lollipop well be able to enjoy the nexus camera...but I suppose for now the google camera shall do for now lol smh
Z camera is good enough. The only one u can take picture wit no lag. But no HDR .

Manual Camera just came out a few weeks ago, but it's by far been the best for me (a camera junkie).
It's best used if you're used to the settings on a DSLR, but has an awesome auto setting and the fastest auto-focus i've seen yet on the N6.
So is the best camera app "Camera FV-5" with Cinema FV-5?
Just cleaned up in here. You guys can take the political debate to a different forum, please. I have absolutely no idea why this subject got brought up in camera thread (actually I do, but I'll deal with the certain member(s))......on a development site.
No need to discuss what I just cleaned in here. Please keep it on topic.

Hello Good evening
just signed up to the site today and have a question regards to RAW on the nexus 6 XT 1100 (please go easy on me as im not sure if this is the correct forum to ask )
Been along galaxy s4 s5 user and just bought my nexus 6 because of the screen size and the ability to shoot raw also folk have really raved the reviews of this phone being one of the best there is even now
my question is i want to use the stock phones camera app to shoot RAW but read it wasnt enabled and there is no feature on the current version so i have to use camera FV-5 to have the RAW images
my phone is running 7.0 and still no RAW feature in the stock app
is there a way of updating the stock app camera so RAW becomes available or do i still need to rely on 3rd party apps from the play store ?
im not understanding the mechanics of phones nor know how to install APKs so if anyone would be so kind help me out here with answers or instruction how to install whatever it is i need to get RAW working in the stock camera app it would be very much appreciated
thanks you guys
You'll need to rely on third party apps to be able to shoot in RAW. Currently Google Camera does not support RAW, though there are indications in the Android Police teardown of the version 3.2 APK that Google is leaning in the direction of supporting it in the future.
Snap camera is also a promising camera app, and it supports raw capture too.
I don't spend money on apps, to be honest, BUT Manual Camera is one of the 4 apps I have ever bought. I believe it gives great control and is easy to work with. You can try it out, it supports RAW shooting as well.

Second the recommendation for Manual Camera
Is anyone on XDA trying to improve the camera performance via mods or roms?
I do not have the skills to improve the camera performance, but the 20 MP Sony sensor is surely capable of better performance. Short of my first attempt at contacting Alcatel...the rep seemed to think updates were unnecessary... what can I do?
In a side note, does anyone know how to get Cortana to use my GPS app (CoPilot) as default? Win 10 Phone wants to use Bing Maps. In 8.1 it was easy to assign a default. Otherwise it's a very capable phone.
For videos, if you have issues with image stabilization, Google Photos now automatically 'corrects' the shakiness. Kinda cool

Interesting about Google Photos. Does one upload the finished video to a website, or is there an on phone app that does this?
There just seems to be more potential in this 20MP sensor. I've read nothing about the Creator Update (coming to mobile soon) helping camera performance.

The Google Photos app has an update that has a 'stabilize' option available.
