[Q] Camera App Recommendations

I'm not very fond of the camera app on MIUI, looking for a third party one if available.
Any fan favourites out there?

Hmm, I was expecting more of a response to this one, can anybody suggest any camera apps, or could someone get me the apk of the default Samsung camera app?
Thanks

Try using
1. Paper camera
or
2. Camera 360 ultimate (recommended)

Thanks, I'll check them out!

Hmm, Paper Camera seemed to be a little cartoony for my liking (very effects based), and 360 wouldn't let me use my front-facing camera
Just looking for a simple camera that can store to my external SD, and preferably allow the power button to take photos

Sphere Pictures

How to make sphere pictures with droid 4 ?. Google camera has that option but it needs gyroscope that is absent in our phone.
Anyone knows a way to make fake gyroscope or some similar to google camera app to do this ?

Hi,
can you be more specific when you say "sphere picture"? Are you saying that you want an app that will turn your picture into a sphere?

[discuss] Using the Wide-angle camera as a primary camera

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if we can use the wide angle camera for camera apps such as Snapchat and or Camera MX. Itt would be amazing to show off on ur friends.
I think where we should look is how to switch the primary camera to the wide-angle camera.
Your ideas are welcomed!! :good:

Tried WhatsApp & twitter, both let you toggle all 3 cameras.

I have another concern. If there are AOSP or CM-based ROMs in the future, is there going to be a way to make the Google camera app use the wide angle lens? Or even better, be able to switch between the lenses like the stock ROM?

I wouldn't use it as primary because it lacks auto focus but I'd love to switch between them especially for photosphere photos..
It works for whatsapp but it doesn't for Google camera

If Twitter and WhatsApp let you use all three cameras, hopefully it's just a case of waiting for Snapchat and Google to implement support.

Yeah, i guess we need just a little more time for snapchat to support the third camera, specially more up coming phones now have 3 cameras

Don't expect anything from snapchat team. They are super lazy for anything about android.

Try Casper Snapchat client (casper.io) it let's use choose which camera app u want to to take snaps with including lg's camera.

I dont recommend using casper because you get banned from snapchat

Photosphere missing in default camera app.

I have a new motor x4 and while using the camera app cannot find the photosphere option anywhere. This is a Google phone so I cannot understand why such an important option is missing. Maybe I just don't know how to find it?

have you checked panorama mode? My Fi X4 has it.

It's missing in the default camera app but you can still make photoshperes with the Google Streetview App.

It's not a Google phone, nor is the camera app included from Google. You could port the modded GCam over to your device for better image and video quality, but I don't know what to tell you of the lack of a photosphere. If you mean the "tap anywhere to capture" feature, then that can be disabled in the camera's settings.

I also miss the photosphere function. Or, on other words, I do miss the official support from Google to Port the Google camera app to more devices.
Latest GCam has been modded to work with other devices under Android Nougat.
I am using that to make photosphere, but I can not import photospheres to G. cardboard viewer.

Moto X4 has a version of photosphere, more like a photocylnder
I just activated my Android One X4 last night, switch from Moto X2 and discovered this morning no obvious photosphere. very sad.
Turns out the Moto camera app (which updated last night) used panorama mode to replicate official sphere. If you take panorama with wide angle it captures a full 360 degrees. These images are then available for cardboard and other sphere viewing modes.
Sadly, or I haven't tried enough, it does not do up and down. Image is blurred above and below, which is a bit disappointing, but understandable.
My photosphere from Machu Picchu would have been lacking without seeing down into valleys below and beautiful sky above. My sphere of last year's eclipse from a cliff overlooking a lake in Wyoming would have been dull without eclipse in sky and terrain/lake below.
But I can guess 90% of spheres have sidewalk/grass below and sun glare above so ...
I could just explore app more and see if it can do it with some settings tweek.

Use camera app with external USB cam

Hi there, I have an USB endoscope camera, and I'd like to use it with the factory camera app (it would be great because of the voice activation controll, say "shoot" and take picture without pressing/touching a button.
But unfortunately when I attach camera, it works fine just an another application. Is it possible to change something in the factory camera app to show me the external camera's picture?
