Camera replacement apps

Does anyone know of a 3rd party camera app that can utilize the Tab's front camera? I really don't like the built in app, I always have issues with it not initializing the camera. I start it up & most of the time I just get a black screen- I have to manually kill the process & restart it to get it to work. Even when it works its painfully slow & the pics aren't very good.
I've got Vignette & it's pretty good, but it doesn't work on the front cam. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't mind paying for a good camera app, I just want some suggestions first cause I can't afford to buy every one on the market to see which one works best.

there were a questions with the same THREAD Title , you may wanna have a look in forum Search function

I use camera 360 ultimate, i feel it takes better pics than the stock app, probably just a placebo cause it was $3 lol
But it works with the front camera and has a whole bunch of other cool stuff, there is also a lite version to try out.

You can use the self shot option at stock app. On the problem you are facing, reflash the stock rom that it may solve.

OK, I tried Camera 360, but can't get it to work with the front cam. Is there a setting I'm missing or something?
I did search, but didn't come up with anything useful. Search on XDA has been kind of wonky lately.
I'm honestly kind of afraid to reflash or tinker with it. I've rooted it, but I have the Sprint version. Not a lot of stuff out there for it.

Do you have a wifi only tab by any chance

Have you flashed any custom roms? If you have i guess you could try flashing it again.

[Q] Panorama action shot JB?

The only thing that I am regretting migrating to JB 4.1.2 on my SGSA is that the camera app no longer includes the "action shot panorama" photo style.
This was brilliant to use with my kids, so you could press once and let the camera take several photos, and stitch them together whilst at the same time focusing on an active subject.
I've trawled through the Play store to find an alternative (I'd happily pay!) but haven't found anything like it.
(If I was able to add a link to show you an example, it would include the dropboxDOTcom server over https followed by /s/23ynpqie9y2gjm0/2013-03-23%2014.44.03.jpg?v=0swn-
Has anyone found a replacement?
Cheers!

I even mailed some of the android camera app developers to see if they could add it to the list of things to do. It was a great little feature, and "it just worked"!
It's not the end of the world, but I would prefer to have it back!
(Congratulations on your 900th post )

Yeah... Although the stock 4.2 camera app has Photosphere - even that doesn't work on our phone... These two features are the things I'm missing the most .
But there are couple of good camera apps in Google Play.. Just search "panoramic camera" and you will get a bunch of results there... I haven't tried any - but most of them have many good reviews..
We can wait for Samsung's next update for our phone.... Since I think its included in Samsung's latest JB firmwares...

I've tried most of those panorama free adopts on the play store but they only do the nice landscape-type panoramas, not the cool action one.
Would it be possible to create a custom ROM with the gingerbread camera app in it instead of the jb one?

I have seen people porting JB 4.2 apps to JB 4.1 or JB/ICS apps to GB... But never from GB to JB
But I will try to do it anyway... If I get some free time from my exams

try "twin" apps
I am a developer of this feature (worked at Samsung at some point), and I can say it it is not easy to do
The most similar apps I saw are "Twin Me! Camera", or "Easy Twin Camera (Clone me)". Albeit they allow you only two copies and lack object tracking capabilities. But maybe someone will come up with this as well.

It was a truly awesome feature, you should be really proud of being part of that one. Just really odd that it was dropped completely when the cameras were perfectly capable of doing it. And doubly so that it can't just be ported straight across from GB.
I don't think it was particularly well named in the camera app, so I doubt too many people realised what it actually did.
I still think about dropping back to GB to get that functionality back!
Matt

Please do something about this get this app or option back in phones, point and shots, high end camaras, 360 camaras, all camaras. Do what you can , you helped make this, and it worked Awsome! I'm with the iniatial post , I am looking for this app . Try looking up devices with it , you cannot, it doesn't have a name other then it's named function. So frustrated . I would purchase a product simply because of this " mode" . ( I don't want to purchase a old camara phone model just to have it.. But I might!) thank you cheers . Great "mode"

Moto X camera for One+

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.

I was able to install it without an issue.

Doesn't install on latest Vanir.

I have it installed on stock One Plus

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

Hdr not selected, why?

HTC M9 Camera

Today I got HTC M9 Camera & Gallery app is working fine in my Nexus 6..
May be some users like me not satisfied with the default Google Camera app. That's why decided to share this info..
Enjoy..
Watch this video by Mike Barrett..
http://youtu.be/q-8vo6JLOP4
Download info.
Simply install as normal apk..
**Camera: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-corporation/camera-htc-corporation/
**Gallery: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-corporation/gallery-htc-corporation/

This works better because it has all the lib files and everything for extra functionality. (I removed the link due to the powers that be, but google search HTC m9 camera port and you will find it.)
At the bottom of the comments someone provided a full patch for 4k video.

Does it have an HDR+ option?

Selinux needs to be permissive for some reason

Thanks installing apk's work fine no forceclose.

@manup456 and @Ryjabo :
I actually use the zip file as well, but if I was you I should remove the links because that is the Jishnu Sur port and every kind of material, links etc coming from this guy is forbidden here in xda.
I say this just to let you avoid a warn by a moderator.

I get what your saying and thanks for the heads up, but its not like XDA post a list of people who are banned from XDA so why would they warn me? They keep track of who is banned not me.
But I will remove the link since XDA has changed so much and I don't want issues.

Awesome find..

Working good on benzo rom

If you are using lean kernel, there is an option available in lkconfig.
Otherwise, you would need to use the app SElinux Changer.
It was pulled from Google Play, but can be downloaded here on XDA:

Is it better than Camera FV-5?

there is any diference between zip file and apk files?

Could also use a terminal emulator app and run "su 0 setenforce 0" without the quotes. For me, the SELinux app here on XDA was not persistent. I would be switched back to enforcing after a reboot. The terminal way persists through reboots.

Of this gets HDR mode then adios 2012 Google camera
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

More features awaited!
Well, I've been using the HTC One M9 Camera App for about 4-5 days as my primary camera app and I'm quite happy. For instance, there are some awesome modes in it like Brokeh, Split Camera etc. But, Google Camera has better panorama. The HDR mode is needed as I compared the photos on my laptop... Google ones were better even when HDR+ mode wasn't even on! Having said that, HTC One M9 Camera is a beautiful addition to our phones as the Google Camera is still 2012 in my opinion!
Features awaited(in terms of importance):
1. HDR (most important)
2. Slow motion video
3. Faster focusing
Please hit the THANK YOU button if you think my review helped you. I will continue to post further info on this.

This is way better than the stock camera. The focus issue on the stock camera made me hate my camera,now with this I'm liking it. Thank you

Question Can i choose what app i could use to open my pictures on the default camera?

I really do not like the default "photos" app by oneplus, but when i use my cam to access a preview of a picture i have to enable photos... Cant i use another app instead??? Is there a way to change the default app?

This is not what i meant ... u see when u use the camera app and take a picture it appears in that small circle on the left corner. When u click it it redirects u to the gallery app of Oneplus. Can i change this redirect to my chosen app???

I did understand what you meant, but you'd need another app to do it.
Have to admit it's been a while since I needed to but that's what I did when I had to.
Edit: just tried and it didn't work so I'd assume not.

ye seems so ... deleted the original app with adb. waiting for gcam to come around and test. might be a better camera app with a feature to choose the gallery. I can work around without it functioning for the moment thanks for your time

Yep have just had a look about with forcing defaults..seems the camera isn't happy unless it's the stock app..it's a bit crap really..
Disabled the app, installed about 5 different galleries, same thing.
Maybe if you could spoof the camera app into thinking the 3rd party gallery app is the stock one? Sounds like a ballache but may work.
Maybe even a magisk module for it, not sure man, sorry can't help more.
