Does 4.4 increase camera quality?

I'm relatively new to the Moto X and I'm rooted on 4.2.2. I keep hearing these things about post-camera OTA updates and stuff. Does the 4.4 OTA update help out the camera quality? Or is all that handled through the Camera updates through the Play Store?
Basically I'm considering staying on 4.2.2 for a while since I'm rooted and have the OTA updates frozen. But I want to make sure that my camera software still gets updates.

Yes

Awesome, thanks for the quick answer!

4.4.2 is even better

Go 4.4.2 and leave the camera in HDR mode. I think it is fine, if I want to be a professional photographer I will buy a Leica!!

At first i want to talk about your phone. it s really nice. I have use it before. And obviously you can get Camera updates from Google Play Store

HRD mode is HORRIBLE in low light. For that reason I cannot recommend leaving it in HDR.

Yep, I have found that out as well. HDR mode should stay in Auto 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?

[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

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!

I've tinkered with it but I don't know what I'm looking at. Not a photographer but I'm sure you repost it in general? I have someone who knows what they're looking at toy with it?

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.

Google camera bypass moto processing?

I know the zealous sharpening issue with the stock moto is a post processing problem and has been mention if not rooted no actual fix yet.. Also others have stated open camera didn't take any better pictures... However I'm wondering if certain apps simply rely on the OS post processing and don't have their own built in. As I used Google camera today to take 2 exact pictures. I sat holding my hand in exactly the same position without moving.. Then launched the stock camera and the comparison is a visibly less noisy and softer photo. I will upload the comparison

Attatched photos taken with both cameras. No hdr no settings adjusted same place touched to focus.
i named each file accordingly. but incase you cant see file names.
goes moto google then for st shot google moto

On custom roms, the Google camera is great, but still has a few issues. Sometimes, it only allowed me to take a few photos at one, and then stopped letting me take any. I had to exit out and go back in to fix it. That said, I saw it on the lineage camera and open camera to...
Either way, the big problem in find is other apps using the camera, which seems to either not work or show a very dark image. This affected mostly QR apps in my experience, (2 factor apps, WhatsApp, etc.)

Thanks, I tried 4.1.006 with some buildprop tweaks and 2.7.008; just was curious if you were using the target sdk version for stock or not.

Sorry maybe this one isn't compatible. You'll need a apk off a mirror site but I don't know which to trust so will leave that decision to you

Nah, that's for a different processor I think. I can't find it

I downloaded the versions listed previously from apkmirror and enabled camera2 in build.prop. There is a Magisk Module for enabling camera2 now as well.
I had no issues with 2.7.008, but 4.1.006 would occasionally fc when switching from camera to video.
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 is the build.prop I used.

Someone please kindly share me the APK of Google Camera for non-rooted Moto G5 Plus. I thought I could also use it in my phone!

For me it's still not there, though Google Photo is updated to the latest version.
