Cyanogenmod Users, tell us about the camera app you are using

We all know z2 has a solid stock camera app. But on cm and cm based rom we cannot use it
So what are you guys using it? Any comparisons of photos taken with different camera apps? And how do photos compare to stock rom? Do share your experience

Im using stock camera app, but Pictures Come a bit too bright for me. Could anyone recommend any good camera app?

It doesn't matter what camera app you use really, as CM (and all AOSP ROM's) use the same camera driver, and Kali used a hack to get it to work using Z1 code (don't know the actual term) so... It will always be substantially poor compared to stock. I know this thread isn't actually a comparison between the two, I'm just stating the facts and eventually I'm sure Kali (or another Dev) will fix it and use proper Z2 cam code. Then, we will have a truly next to flawless AOSP camera and ROM.

I'm just using Google Camera for lack of a better one. It's not great but it gets the job done.

The camera on both stock and CM give the same result. Its only the post processing that the stock app does that changes the result.
For testing, install Google camera on stock and click pictures. Do the same on CM and compare your results.

ENJOY !!! :good: :good: :good:

Hopefully we will see some camera improvements when Android L have been released and CM updated.

Using Google Camera on Carbon. Shots are great!

Just a quick tip guys, I had issues with low quality photos in CM11, I tried ProCapture app and in good daylight the pictures turn out to be good and as good as stock, in low light you'll have to tweak the settings a bit but you can manage to get pretty decent pics. SO yeah, for the benefits CM11 gives, I can completely live with it by using a third party app

I see that MIUI port has stock XZ2 camera. If so, is there any way to use on CM11 as well? Any tips?

I have a stock camera (4.4.4) and I am not happy at all with my camera. :/ Most photos are not clear, landscape mode takes bad photos (one part of the photo is good/zoomed, biger part is blur).
I heard some stories about Z2 with good camera and Z2 with bad camera, can thia be true, although it sounds ridicilous.

Agree.. I tried cm11 snapshot m12, All pictures of mine turns out too bright. The front one especially pixalated with weird coloured dots like a 0.5mp camera which I used to have when I had an old Nokia phone. Other than this, cm is a perfect rom.. Hope there are still development on this while with all the hype on lollipop(not sure if the camera code will get better by then)

I recommend the OnePlusOne camera! It's faster, more organized in terms of menus and I think that the image quality is little bit better because of the filters used... :good:

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?

[APP] Imprint Fingerprint Camera - Use your fingerprint sensor as a shutter button!

Hi everyone,
I recently published a new app called Imprint - Fingerprint Camera that I think you might enjoy. The idea of the app is simple, use your phone's fingerprint sensor as a camera shutter button to capture photos and videos. I believe this is the first app to use the fingerprint sensor for something other than security, but I could be wrong.
"But can't I use the volume rocker already?" you might ask
Yes, you can, but I think Imprint offers some improvements over the volume rocker. First, it's much easier to reach the fingerprint sensor on larger phones when in portrait view (like the 6P). Second, touching the fingerprint sensor tends to bump the phone less, resulting in clearer selfies.
The app uses the Nexus Imprint API to interact with the sensor, and allows any finger to take a photo, so you can hand off your phone to a friend and they can still use the app. Imprint also uses the Camera2 API for the crispest pictures.
The feature set is pretty simple right now, with front and rear camera support as well as front and rear flash support, but I am hoping to add more options in the future.
Here are some promo codes to test it out!

Found it in the Playstore for $0.99: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nyelito.com.imprintcam

Sorry I wasn't allowed to post a link since my account is new. That link is correct though.

wait... so can i still use the google camera app to take a picture using the fingerprint sensor after installing this app? or is this the app that's used to take the actual picture?

Hey OP
Possible for a coupon code for a free download to test this out?
Or perhaps you can post the APK here for a short while?

It's against the rules to do a thread with a paid app unless there's a free version

Right now this is the app that takes the picture since I need to be detecting fingerprint presses. I am planning on looking into if I can build the feature into the Google Camera app as well.

Thanks.
I used one, and sent you an email with a small feature request/bug.
To add to that email, if the vibration can't be removed, add a 0.5 second delay to the shutter.

all the codes have been redeemed?? any chances for us to try the app or not??

This! Interesting idea, but not sure how practical it would be unless i am able to try it out.

why should i start a camera app with less features than any other just to use fingerprint sensor?
There are so many good app ideas for alternative use of the sensor... but this app is useless

But I'm so happy that I can use my Nova Launcher now

Urnyx's 7.3 v2.2 and the associated configs should work.
I'm using Nova Launcher though, as a heads up, but whatever version I had prior was not even launching on Nova Launcher.

Do you know if the wide angle camera will work? I couldn't get it to work. Same with Arnova's new hot fix beta for 2.5. Which of the 4 config. files are you using with the SD S-10 and Urnyx's 7.3 v2.2?

Oof, yeah I just noticed now that front facing nor wide angle is working, only the back camera.
If anyone figures out which configs work I'd be happy to know. Also, GCam automatically loads configs from "GCam/Configs7", right? In the past I remember having to choose a file.

By double-tapping on the front-rear camera button, I was able to achieve both a normal rear and slightly wide-angle camera shot. It appeared to be a restricted wide-angle shot showing a little more in the photo, but not a regular, wide-angle shot if that makes sense. It did offer me a choice of .xml files. It wouldn't recognize them from my configs folder. I had to create a configs7 folder and move them into it.
Anyway, here is the link for others that want to try it. Better than nothing I guess. Color has to be set to auto in advanced settings or pictures will come out purple.

Same here. No working front-facing camera on any of the Gcams after the UI 2.5 update. Also, lots of crashes. Forced to use the Scam a lot of the time uuggghhh. Hope there is a fix soon.

Found a fix yet?

What is the latest Google Camera version that works on this? (Exynos)

I tried lots of ports and different verions, even those that were made explicitly for the Note 9, but i can't seem to be able to take photos with any of them.
It "takes" photos, but all of them just result in a black image, top to bottom.
It doesn't happen with one version in particular, it's consistent on all of them.
The viewfinder works just fine, so do most modes, even HDR+. But it can't take photos at all.

@Myrmeko
Not sure if this camera app has the functions you would like to use, but have you tried the Open Camera app?

I use Open Camera on a Note8 and Galaxy Tab S4 because the Samsung Camera app continuously crashed.

Try this, working for almost all Exynos devices. https://koopahtmaniac.com/getLatest.php

Yes, Open Camera is very good, but it doesn't have the features i was looking for.
On my Note 9, Samsung Camera works just fine, but i was only curious to see how Google's Night Mode and HDR+ work.

The latest one works just fine, but the photos look pretty bad. Night mode gives that pink vignette that was the problem on the HTC One M7/M8/M9.
I wouldn't recommend using it, tbh. You're better off using the stock camera. Or if you really wanna mod it and you aslo have root, just buy Zero Camera Mod and support one of the developers here. You can tune every Samsung Camera parameter with it.
