3rd party camera apps (maybe GCAM) for the Zoom lens? - Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers

Was wondering if there are any 3rd party apps that work for the Zoom lens on this Zenfone 3 zoom device? Maybe a version of gcam?
Thanks

I don't remember which version, but some versions of gcam had the ability to switch to the zoom lens by holding down the camera switch button.

They do, yes, but there are lots of artifacts on the screen while taking the picture and the pictures can't be saved in your storage. I don't know if it's different for someone with a rooted device, would be nice to know.

Better Camera App?

Any of you guys have any recommended camera apps?
The stock one (as we know) is so barebones.
Check out "Camera FV-5". I'm using it and I quite like it more than the others.

can you extend the shutter longer than 1/5th of a second?
Manual Camera also seems to work well.
I'm liking Pro Camera so far. Cheapest of the bunch, and it has plenty of controls. Developer is also very active on Reddit, answering questions & responding to feedback.

I was wondering about this too, but I can't get mine to go longer than 1/10th (I mean, it does on the scale, but there is no change in the amount of light the preview shows). Not sure if it is Camera FV-5 that is limited or it's the 6P's camera. LG's G4 Camera can do up to 1/2 and I'm missing that (along with OIS)

I've emailed the developers of Manual Camera and FV-5 to ask about this with no response yet.
When I try to use FV-5, it won't recognize my main camera. It shows the selfie camera when I'm in selfie mode, as well as the main mode. Anyone else having this issue?
Sorry to hijack.
Do any of the cameras mentioned allow pictures during video recording?

I hope u find this helpfull
Someone Can share some feedback?
Next week I will try Slim ROM with HTC 9 port
I'd like to find some good camera app with the focus peaking, but until now I had no success.
MIUI have it, but I'd like to have it in custom ROMs too.

I know that mostly Custom ROMs have Snapdragon camera, I was saying that mabye I'll try to use Camera FV-5 on some custom to see if there will be manual focus at least (I don't think there will be focus peaking tho). In MIUI installing FV-5 there's not even manual focus, instead on MIUI camera app there's manual focus and focus peaking too.

After Leaving MIUI 8 and choosing CM13 on my mi4i , i just felt miui camera app is awesome. A d after 2 weeks trying every 3rd party camera app, luckily i found a good alternative to this, and that is OPPO camera mod, you can find oppo camera app searching in threads. That works great but i have downloaded a oppo camera version that looks same as R7 camera app. You can try that searching in forums.

Probably I tried some Oppo camera with my Mi4, but I can't remember well.
I'll definitely give it a try, anyway I guess there will not be focus peaking feature.

Actually, Oppo camera app have more features than miui camera app, like HDR, HD pic (more sturations for cropping), slow shutter (lightning painting), Gif, doubke exposure etc etc... All you need is to download 2 apks, 1 for app 1 for plugins.. thats it. I HAVE UPLOADED 2 CAMERA APP INTERFACE SCREEN SHOTS. THATS Mi4i. CM13

If you enable camera2 api, all apps that support it will work. Otherwise, only MIUI camera has it (proprietary api?).

Can anyone port google camera with hdr+ for zenfone 3 ze520kl/ze552kl

Can anyone make google camera with hdr+ work on zenfone 3 ze520kl/ze552kl. Tried every version and each config settings inside the app. Even redmi note 4 supports it but zenfone 3 don't, despite of having a good sensor
Is this what you're referring to?

I tested it and it's working fine on my ze552kl
With the right settings, it will. I'm using it bruv. ZE520KL.

@saswatmeher05
Might be an issue with the viper rom then, I've had no issues wit hdr+ enabled and stock settings.
Have you tried the stock Rom to eliminate that as a possibility?

bro ive tried on stock rom but didn't work so I switched to a custom rom but didn't work either. Btw hdr+ works when the config shows in bottom of the screen like(pixel experimental features). And taping on preview it shows hdr+ processing. If it clicks with no shutter delay and no popup then its normal image not hdr+ processed.
If working for someone then what are the settings. Keep in mind that I'm talking about hdr+ processed photos, not just normal captures. When it shows processing on the screen after u tap the shutter button then its hdr+ processed if not then its just a normal image.
I see it takes pictures @ 12Mp (4:3) instead of 16Mp.
Also, I don't think HDR (or ZSL) settings make a difference...
The picture I've taken with Google Camera are grainier (especially shadows) than with Asus, using 12Mp settings in both.

hey bro I know the camera app is working just like google camera but the problem is that it isn't working with hdr+ . When hdr+ processes the image it takes seconds and looks different than normal shot(Tried with my brother's oneplus 3t). Some people on youtube are claiming that it works(with hdr+ processing) in redmi note 4(snapdragon 625 variant).

ya bro not making any difference since it gives fc on hdr+ processing. If the photo is not hdr processed then its a normal picture. i've tried how the hdr+ works on my brother's oneplus 3t. the difference is very noticeable.
I installed the apk on my ze552kl running stock nougat with latest update. I keep getting force close when I open google camera. Is this a known issue in general and is there a fix/workaround?
edit: did some reading and this seems to be related to the ambient lighting when you turn on the camera. if you're in a well lit area the camera will work, when i pan towards a darker place (or open the camera in a darker place) the camera immediately FC's

GCAM v6

Any Stable gcam v6 app with night sight with working front camera, slow motion etc.
Would Love to try that
Try this one https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/MGC_6.1.021_MI8_V1f.apk
Front camera does not work at all. Rear camera is fine.
Few low light sample photos, please.

he is talking about front camera dude. There's still no stable gcamv6 for our device
Hopefully some devs ports it soon to the device. Its a bit of a hit or miss because theres no one porting it currently. Or at least i believe at this moment.

Yes, you can use stock camera, other camera apps (eg Instagram and snapchat etc.)
I have a problem with this port. HDR processing stops halfway or in 3/4 of process and the picture doesn't get saved. I tested few versions on clean installation of the newest Arrow OS and Havoc OS. It's useless and I have to stick with stock PIE beta. If the HDR would work I could use this for back cam and stock camera port for front and I would be good to go on custom roms. If this won't work, its still a dealbreaker for me...

Why No google camera for our G6??

many lower price device have some awesome gcam/mod stuff.but,our g6 not get any port of gcam!!we totally disappointed..
I think you are not exploring this forum properly, there are many stable ports and we all are already using it. You can try this version which is stable so far: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IJZXYNojIh0bIr07UQLxJd44AZyaWpn7
LG G6 Gcam XDA forum link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ap...stark27-google-camera-mod-wide-angle-t3747263
I used this one but when I compare the photos of the OEM app and this Gcam the processing is identical so I think there is something wrong with this one, the photos from it look identical with the same over-processed look. see photo attached showing OEM crop vs GCam crop (comp1) OEM camera left, GCam stark5.1.018_24_v4.2t3 on right. Then see comp2, OEM camera left and a different LG G6 camera port from GCam on the right, where you can see a nice improvement in IQ with less processing etc. more natural looking detail.
Still on Cstarkgcam v 4.2 on my lg g6 h872. Any newer version worth installing? I tried bsg and arnovas own but cstarks version is better.

so what's your suggestion, should we use t3 version?
Cstark on hdr+ is better than stock g6 cam. I like the little over processed look. Even hdr is greater than g6 cam....heck any ported cam is better than the g6 stock cam. Ctsark's own is stable and no configs are needed. Night mode is a gimmick so leave 6.1 alone.

The selfie quality is bad too. Faces look very soft.
Ah ok sorry i have never ever used my selfie camera but you can try setting the front camera to Nexus 5X or the 6P and then see if it helps. Don't see the photo on your link.
