Hello
Is it possible to run apps in 16:9 such as Snapchat so the camera sensor isn't cropped as much, or du recorder so that only the 16:9 portion of the screen is recorded.
Since this is stock android, you don't have the 16:9 compatibility of Samsung and LG skins.
Is there any other way to do this?
Thanks

According to "OpenCamera" I am using a 4160x3120 resolution when taking pictures.
This isnt a wide-screen resolution and I wonder if that makes any difference quality wise? Can I just stick to this resolution or should I go for a 16:9 reaolution (4160x2130) ?
Thanks !
Wide screen mode on the camera is the equivalent of taking a 4:3 image and cropping it in Adobe Photoshop. The image has fewer pixels after cropping, which is why the stock camera and some other camera apps make a big deal of pointing out the resolution at each setting. You don't lose anything in terms of quality as you are taking the image with a 13MP sensor. The software simply discards the unused data.
The setting is a matter of personal preference. I keep mine on wide screen despite the data loss because I like it. If you like it, set it and snap away. Otherwise stick with 4:3.
Hi, I'm interested in using third-party camera applications.
I seek above all the following:
It works on Nexus 7.1.1 without rooting.
Record to slow camera videos
HDR of the best quality (for now the Samsung has seemed the best because I do not change the color of the photo too much, the HDR + colors a lot and there are comic photos)
I have already tried the typical Open Camera-Fv-5 DSLR Camera- Bacon Camera .... and they do not give me what I am looking for
Thank you
Camera Zoom FX Premium. It has the best HDR of the third party cameras I've tried due to it using exposure bracketing to create the shot. The exposure bracketing however means the camera is slow in taking a shot, because it has to take three shots and merge them together in software in order to create the image. This also means that moving objects in a HDR image may create ghost images.
HDR+ in the Nexus devices that support it I feel is a better option than even Camera Zoom FX Premium's HDR. HDR+ isn't perfect. It takes a shot quickly but has to spend time compositing the final image, due to how HDR+ works. It does however eliminate the problem of moving objects in a shot. This is because unlike the exposure bracketing of HDR, HDR+ brackets using film speed (ISO). The reason for the amount of time spent compositing the image is due to HDR+ taking ten images with one press of the on-screen button.
I had bought it, but I did not think it was very practical, right now I use Fv-5 and Google camera.
I really like the samsung camera application, because it does not distort the actual color of the photo,
And I do not need to do several photos to have an hdr by software. But I do not find anything similar in third-party applications.
Is there no port of the LG, Samsung, HTC camera that works on a nexus 6?
I'm not aware of any ports of those camera apps. As to the Samsung camera, it uses software to create an HDR effect. Software-based HDR by its very nature distorts the color as the HDR effect is applied to the image. As a result software-based HDR is always going to be inferior to hardware-based HDR solutions.
True, but it is difficult to do 3 photos in a row, without tripod, and many times there will be people, which will result in ghosts.
Which is why HDR+ is better than exposure bracketing HDR. I do believe I said as much in a previous post.
Hi guys,
To my surprise, my brand new P30 Pro camera's app doesn't come with 16:9 aspect ratio resolution which is a shame...
My old Mate 10 Pro had it and I can't see myself watching my picutres with those 2 white squares on the left and right of my pictures...
Let me link you an official thread about this issue: https://uk.community.huawei.com/mate-20-series-20/who-would-like-the-option-to-take-16-9-aspect-ratio-photos-with-your-huawei-phone-1520
For me, it's a bummer...
If any of you is able to "mod" the app to get back that 16:9 aspect ratio with high resolution, please advise ! Or any kind of contact to Huawei cuz this doesn't look THAT complicated to add back..
Regards
Yea, that would be awesome to have this. A phone this expensive doesn't have this crucial aspect ratio? How come? Don't people watch photos on tvs or monitors? 16:9 should be the standard for casual photographers.
It still has a full screen photo mode, but you have to lower the photo megapixels from 10 megapixels to (full screen) 6

Full screen is 19.5:6 aspect ratio, which is far too wide. The point is to view the photos on TV or monitor in full screen. This aspect ratio is rather useless, it crops too much. The camera is nice, but if I knew it doesn't have 16:9, I'm not sure if I would buy this phone. Now it's too late, already bought, and I'll have to spend a lot of time to crop thousands of photos I'm doing on my trips.
Also the default gallery application in which I can crop the photos has a bug - if I do a 4:3 photo in 40 megapixels and crop it to 16:9 in the default gallery application, it changes the photo resolution to 3648x2050 from 7296x5472, so I need to use some external app for that.
So if anyone is reading this:
DO NOT CROP THE PHOTOS WITH DEFAULT APPLICATION

Use Google photos app:
7296x5472--->7296x4102
40mp--->29,9mp

if you mean this one:
getdroidtips.com/download-google-camera-for-huawei-p30-pro/
I tried it. Sure it makes the photos, but it has lots of issues:
1. Camera switching doesn't work, I can only use the main camera. No wideangle, no tele
2. After zooming in the app crashes
3. Max mp I can get in 16:9 mode is 8.3, not 29.9
4. No portrait mode and lots of other modes from stock application are also missing.
So sure, I can do photos with 16:9, but what's the point if I can't use most of options that hardware provides? Cropping for hours or days after making thousands of photos is still the only option here.
There is not good solution, which is really sad.
And if you mean an app for cropping, I already found a better one - Simple Gallery and PicTools for cropping in bulk.
News about this topic? I have just faxed
Faced this on my Huawei and I feel really frustrated!

I have 16:9 mode enabled, but viewfinder (i.e. the screen) has this big semitransparent black area on the right that makes it difficult to visualize what's in the picture. The shutter and some options are on this big black stripe. But it is really getting in the way.
In 4:3 mode the stripe becomes solid and everything is ok, but in 16:9 part of the photo is actually behind that stripe which really makes it hard to take good pics.
Any solution or workaround? Do most people take 16:9 pictures these days?
I try take 16:9 it's look zoom in on camera app but after take photo it's look normal
I found that using screen recording while using samsung camera app in photo mode makes the field of view wider compared to video. And dynamic range is better also.(forget 4k). But good for social media sharing.. but the only problem is the zoom toggle in the way. Is there any way to remove that toggles.. maybe a modded apk or something???...
I think it's because when the camera is in photo mode, the app uses the whole sensor. This means that it is recording with a resolution of 3000x4000 pixels (3:4 aspect ratio). But when you record 4K, the camera app uses only a portion of the sensor equal to 2160x3840 pixels (16:9 ratio). That is the reason you see a wider view in the photo mode and not in the video mode. The only solution right now, might be to use OpenCamera to record video but you have to select the 3:4 ratio in the video settings. If you do that though, OpenCamera will only film with a resolution of 1440x1080 so the video will not be that sharp. I admit, I would love to see a mod or a toggle from Samsung that lets you record in 3:4 though.
Thanks. But what about the hdr.. i mean i have tested it and the hdr performance with ultrawide camera in screen recording is great compared to normal video capture. Even in low light the screen recording looks way too wider and brighter and had great dynamic range. (I have also tested shoooting in 1:1 in video). Kindly test it out and see it yourself. But don't pixel peep it's obviously less crisp than 4k. But great for social media.
I see what you mean. Video from screen recorder is a bit different from video mode. However I do not know why this happens. I suspect that maybe screen recorder is not able to capture the whole color gamut of the HDR preview.
