[Q] alternative camera app

So based on you're experience which camera app would you suggest? I am kind of shocked to find that the camera app is so slow. My Blackberry Q10 is very quick compared to my Turbo.

I really like the Google camera app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera&hl=en
Unfortunately on the turbo it still does have some lag. Hopefully that will be fixed with future OTA updates.
The main thing I like about Google's app is the option to take photosphere images and panoramas. I know the stock camera app does panoramas but Google's app allows for much higher quality images.
I have taken some really awesome images using this app.

Lenovo Supercamera is great. Adds lots of effects and options, more so than stock camera on S5

Thanks! I tried installing but it wouldn't connect to the camera. Which version did you install to get it to work?

Latest, 3.6.7 with permissions removed. Definitely works for me. Maybe restart too - sometimes it seems like camera apps can lock another out.

Ahhhh.... I was going down to the second post and installing the other camera. Nice!! Going to have to play around with it more tomorrow. Thanks again!!!

Thanks to everyone who posted. I actually really like both of those options and will probably use both. Anyone ever try any fisheye lenses?

Do you see this as well on your install?

Yes, those resolutions are correct for the Turbo camera (even though they say a lower MP).
The 5248x3936 is the same as the full 21mp (Standard) mode, and the 5248 x 2952 is the same as the 15.5mp (Widescreen) mode. Assuming that this is what your asking?

Exactly what i was asking. I figured it was cosmetic. Just wanted to be sure.

I will the first update might have sped up my camera. When I left the store it was slow, as I read about. Next day I searched for updates and got one. My camera is normal now. The only issue I notice is swiping to pictures from the camera, it swipes right away, then the screen "blinks" real fast. Might try a different camera to compare though.

Maybe I'm crazy but this seems to speed the shutter up a bit.

Perhaps more tinkering in the ladybug settings could help, or the ability to reduce mp size further?
Let me know what works for you all!

Yep, other than the resolution displaying wrong it worked good too. I ended up installing the moto camera+ and taking a bunch of samples to compare the two, found it to not take any better pics than the moto camera + with the settings unlocked.

[Q] Does the L Camera, or camera2 api, work on the Nexus 6?

It would seem silly if not, but I haven't seen confirmation. I've just seen that it works on the Nexus 5 and not on the Nexus 4.

No problem, I'm still looking for a decent camera app as well. I wish I could use the stock LG one from my G3 on here but I don't think it will work.

Did you try L camera too ?
His git is here go into it and download the app
https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera/
Hit view code and scroll down it's Lcamera-debug just updated today

It opens and I can take pictures but it crashed after that. I tried to mess with the settings in the app but then it crashed again.

I want to use the moto x 2014 camera app but I need root to install it. It fails to install normally, are there any other good alternatives to a basic camera app like the moto one or the LG ?

There's no option for it as of right now. Also the photos look a little worse than the stock camera app when I compared them. The app has potential if you can edit the photos saved as a RAW format.

I see by the pics that there are a number of options that end in x60. Is that frame rate? What do the videos look like when you use those? The assumption is that the playback is still going to do 30 fps and if shot at 60fps then the playback would be slo-mo.
Also what are the grayed out options and the blue options, if you know?

Blue is my selected option, grayed out are ones that I can't click (don't work on my phone)

Google Camera Question

Is this apk just for the Pixel phone?
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...-017-253834016-android-apk-download/#variants

jd14771 said:
I just downloaded the gcam for the snapdragon variant.
In the future, the gcam port is dependenant on the phone it's intended for, otherwise you need to adjust the settings manually.id highly suggest not touching ANY settings in the camera app that are in the " settings" menu. You can change the camera modes and stuff but don't touch the settings menu.
As for whitch version to download, any gcam that is in red and Bold is a stable working non beta version.

Yes I did. You told me what you did, what I should do, gave me a couple links to sites...but you never answered the question. Yes or No would have been sufficient since I know all the other stuff already. I just wanted to know if that link was just for the Pixel, since the article didn't make that clear.
BTW, I have changed many of the settings (as suggested when they came out) in earlier versions to get them to work.
Thanks anyway.

So can anyone point me to the correct gcam for my Note 9 Snapdragon? I assume the latest and greatest Google cam port is pretty much install and use as is? I'm seeing several in Red and bold.. Haven't been keeping up lately. Thanks

And these are the kind of pics it produces (just took this a minute ago).
Everyone says you make no adjustments to the settings, yet unless I'm living on Venus, green pics are not what I want.

that may be but i wonder if the gcam port for SD devices has a hidden load config file menu for .xml profiles like the exynos gcam port has.
i guess only you may be able to check it out.

which settings?

Seems to be a rather stable version. Can someone confirm that the 3x and 10x zoom lenses are not possible to access with 3rd party apps and that they are blocked by Samsung (not listed in "Camera2 probe" app)? The different download versions seem to be a workaround for that but i think that does not work anymore?
"different package signatures, they are needed for some devices whose access to additional objectives is only at application with a specific package name." --> com.samsung.android.scan3d or com.samsung.android.ruler
I don’t get access to the zoom lenses with 3dscan and ruler version. (S21U Exy.)

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

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.
