Is it just me or the Aria does have camera with the slowest capture speed out there? I'm using Liberated Aria right now but please let me know if you're using another ROM and you got better luck.
Here's my steps to reproduce this issue:
1. Open the camera app
2. Aim for an object
3. Tap the optical joystick to lock focus
4. Press optical joystick firmly to capture (the screen will "freeze" for a split second, it looks absolutely beautiful, focused & perfect, i don't expect more than this)
5. Then it the "screen freeze" is gone, pretty much Aria says "oh here's the actual picture saved to memory, that one you saw, yeah the pretty still image i showed you a split second before this, i just threw it away since i felt like it. but here's a bigger resolution ultra blurry image you've always wanted"
This happens mostly indoors (of course with sufficient lighting), when I'm outdoors I also have the same experience though not as severe.
I found that reducing brightness helped very very little.
is there any other trick I can do to get a better picture out of my camera. At least I want to get what I see on the screen when the focus is locked.
The camera app in the cm6/7 Roms works beautifully. Takes very nice pics and is fairly quick to do so. I'm fairly certain you can take that camera apk and push it to liberated (if its even a different app)

yeah, i never had any camera issues running cm7 on my aria.
I was having the same problem. Rebooting temporaryly fix it. In my opinion, gallery and camera 2.2 is too much for the aria to handle.
Not having camera problems with cm7 (knock on wood) but gallery still slow and don't find all pics consistently

There's a fix for the slow gallery. There is a file on your sd card you can delete and it forces the gallery to rebuild. The first load is slow but after that its pretty quick. I can't remember the file but I di remember the fix was in the cm6 thread. I use quick pic as my default viewer though because it loads almost instantly.

+1 for Quickpic. It's waaaaaaaaay quicker than any other gallery app I've seen. I think it should be bundled as default in the ROMS over gallery.

3d gallery works fine for me? very very snappy
the file that callmearia is talking about is /android/data/com.cooliris.media
just delete that folder and it will force it to recache thumbnails
However, I must agree with the OP, the camera app in FR008 is laggy as hell while the camera in CM6/7 is much more responsive. I've tried to get this camera into the FR008 build to no avail - even removing the HTCcamera apk from the ROM and adding the one from CM6 and then flashing the ROM - won't work.
Is there any way to get this version in to FR008 as I much prefer it??

By doesn't work do you mean it just force closes when you try to open it? Or it wont install at all?

If I remove the HTCmail.apk from the ROM zip file and replace it with the camera.apk from CM6 or 7 then the ROM will install properly and you can see the camera app in the app drawer but it either won't launch or force closes.
I'm wondering if there is another file I'm missing or that I need to remove?

you can try not deleting the stock sense camera and installing them side by side. Or you can try renaming the cm7 camera to whatever the Sense camera apk is called and then using adb to push the renamed cm7 camera.apk to the phone and it will replace the stock camera.apk. I could probably be a lot more help if I actually had a Sense rom installed...

Nope, tried it and tried it, no worky! LOL. I appreciate the help though. It's just do weird. I can get every other file that I drag and drop in to the ROM to work fine but not the camera! Weird but I suspect it has something to do with the Sense ROM, certain apps are maybe more deeply integrated than we know?
A couple things that might help here.
1. I noticed my camera started taking really hazy pics and was having a hard time focusing. I popped the back cover off and removed the two top screws. After I pulled off the top inner cover I had full access to the camera lens. What appeared to be clean lens while the cover was on was not. It had a nice layer of dust/lint on it. I cleaned the lens up and now the camera is back to normal.
2. Yesterday I installed the miui camera apk I found over in the android developement section. It not only takes pics faster than the stock camera it focuses much much faster and takes very clear pics. I'm making it my full time camera now. For anyone who wants to try it, it has to be flashed in recovery or pushed via adb. It wont install with the apk manager. Also you can install it side by side with the stock camera.

Yea I can almost say for sure that the camera starts acting funny when the lens gets coated in dust. Every couple of days I hit it with a clean dry q-tip and "spin" it in the lens hole. Works like a charm!

Well, I'd like to know what is going to happen with us?
I know at least we got gingerbread working but without photo camera.
We need someone who help us, I have spent some days trying to match some files from froyo to make camera work, but no success
Is there anyone out there with the solution?

Yes I read it, lets hope motorola send you another bravo.
I thought that you were going to be without your bravo alredy, but I see you can get another one.
So man, tell about your progress with it. Did you get something while you got the phone?
I was desperate because there is another version of android running and we cant still get the camera working for gingerbread.
Gingerbread for me is one of the most important updates. Lets see what ICS got for us.
i dont think we should look at ics much actually i pretty happy with just having ginger bread on this device. Our main concern should be getting the stock camera to work. dont get me wrong fast burst is a quick fix but sometimes the app freezes up on me.

You are not wrong, fast burst is a quick fix, but I think it it isnt.
If we had at least an app to take photos at 3mpx it would be really awsome.
I remember that when CM7 was being adapted to cliq XT, there were some apps that worked.
Still we need someone that knows code or something cause i would love to have the 3mp camera back

We are all waiting for it man.
I would like to do it, but its difficult.
To use my word of the day, yes, this is being "uber" difficult to do. Anyone that want's to see where my phone progress is at can check out FedEx's website with this tracking number. 795366278313 . At the time that I posted this it had just left Bend, OR. on it's way to Texas.
++++++++UPDATE++++++++
I forgot to mention, I almost had the camera working. It previewed, it clicked, it saved to the gallery! But exit the camera and it was gone. GONE! Just poof into nothing! I swear. I took like 20 pics almost at the same time, like 1 or 2 mins apart! Saw them all in my gallery in the camera, exited and went to the phones gallery and nothing! I searched all over the file system of the phone and nothing! No trace of anything. Getting close I think.

Using defy camera app with gingerblur, Im able to take photos, a file is saved, but it has nothing on it. You can see file in gallery, but no image.

I have been doing somethings with walter79, trying to make camera works and trying to port some other MS2ginger (gingerblur) to bravo!
But still nothing, defy has more libs camera files, because there are two versions of the camera for defy (green and red lens) so its not easy, I really hope we get it soon.

I've been thinking that maybe should try porting some rom directly from MILESTONE 2, I dont know if M2 have the same problems with different lens colors, but if not it should be easier to get camera working matching some libs.
@BravoMotorola Is there any rom that you can port some rom?
That maybe must be what we need!!!

I don't think it has to do with lens differences. If it had to do with that then I don't think the camera would even show a picture.

I say that because of the files and libs it uses, sometimes you can see some roms which has 720p recording for green lens and not red.
I mean, there are many files in the defy roms to match with the camera depending on the lens colors, maybe in the M2 roms there arent such files and it can be easier to match libs and get camera working.
Just saying, I'll try to port some M2 rom to my bravo and if it works I'll try to match some libs.

Well truth be told I was removing alot of the Libs from CM and replacing them with the stock libs on the Bravo. Was doing the same with the permissions and I think the com and another folder. Need to take note's . My phone is in Texas now getting looked at by Motorola. New tracking number now. 1102783078. This is the one to see where it's at on repair at Motorola it's self. Life update, sold acouple of my old phones and bought a computer desk. Wife happy that she get's her dining room table back, pissed because she lost a corner of the dining room. I say good trade off.

@BravoMotorola
Is it possible for you to get me the Bravo Stock Rom in another format besides...... CRAP! ALL MY FILES ARE DELETED! Back to 1. NEVERMIND! First smart thing i've done in awhile. BACKUPS! Saved everything on 3 CD-Rom's. OK. Back. @BravoMotorola Now as I was saying, Stock Bravo rom in an update.zip format would be great if it's possible. Pretty pretty please! My computer can now look at differences in file folders and make changes to one based on the other. A little faster than me copying and pasting everything.
Another odd thought occured to me. What if we took the entire lib from the bravo and placed it into the CM7? Not combine the two but just take out the CM7 and replace it? I need my phone back now. Ebay another one? Hmm.... Somebody else try in the meantime please and report findings here. Oh Oh try and google some program that will explore the root system of our phone on a computer. Kinda like back in the day there was P2K editor for all of our really old phones (Like all of my Razrs). I don't think P2K works for the bravo, too new of a phone system? I've been back to "school" on ModMyMoto.com for my other phones and there's a Bravo section on it but never really looked into it since I don't have my Bravo at the moment. Pot of coffee on now diving in.
Hi friend, we all know that our Z haven't camera key...
So I thinking to use sensor Proximity to take pictures and that's help's to take underwater picture.
This is theory and I don't know how much real it is... Because. I'm not developer and it's just idea
Waiting to see your opinions and how much realistic.

yes i know this ways i just share my idea..
I don't know if proximity sensor is immune to water, though.
I like the idea, is the only thing I miss from my last phone.
'Wave to snap' sounds good, you'd have to get the sensitivity just right though.
Perhaps ask the creator of cybershot mod. He'd be the best person, who might know what to do.

Hold then raise = take picture
Hold in Album = return to camera not useful because when you take picture you need to satay in camera

I don't think that we need this, because I using "CONTINUOUS auto focus" mode during preview, so it focusing every moment until you tap to proximity sensor, after tapping IF it is not focused yet, it focusing and taking picture and IF already focused, then taking picture immediately. So focus on hold will not have effect, because it already tries to focus.

Also I've been reading about the absence of camera2 api and the unability to install manual camera apps is it true??? And wasn't there any update to fix it???and is there anyway to enable it without having to root the phone??
And finally which 3rd party camera apps do you prefer?? And does google camera work fine and are its pictures better than stock app or worse???
Thx in advance
any answers please????

Google Camera is no longer available, it has been pulled from the Play Store... When it was there, it worked fine.
Personally, I use Camera ZOOM FX... not that it is much better than anything else, but I bought it years ago on sale for 25¢, it works quite well, and I am familiar with it. It has a multitude of adjustments, although it is not using the Camera2 API.
The Manual Camera Compatibility app fails on all items it checks, the phone does not support the Camera2 API and unless Moto adds support in Nougat, we likely won't get.
This is not to say that the Moto X doesn't take good pictures... personally I think the picture quality is excellent for a smartphone, far better than most of the other phones in the family except my son's S7 Edge (which has a fantastic camera). The only real drawbacks in my opinion are the stock camera app (which is bad, wish we had the new Moto Camera app, it is much better) and the lack of OIS.

I've tried Google Camera on my Style but it faces crashes at times. I've installed HTC camera (new) and it works good. Pictures are really sharp.
You can download the stock moto camera from the play store which I feel works really well and takes great pictures.

Umm... that is the app that is included with the phone, it is not good. The new "4th generation" phone Moto camera app is quite good but unfortunately it isn't usable on a stock device.

Sorry hadn't had my coffee and I had been reading the development forum right before. Head wasn't on straight.

If you mean the G4 Apps thread in the Themes/Apps section that just goes to another link where you can download flashables and APKs, the APK doesn't work... Says something like "Your device is not supported" and exits.

No offense, but do you have a reference of where this file came from? I really don't like to install random APKs...

I totally understand you concern, I downloaded the original apk from this post and than modified the file myself to enable professional mode and the debug menu.
i have yet to find a way to download apk directly from the play store but i keep looking from time to time.

How do you find professional mode in your apk? Is that the options in debug?

You should find a new professional mode option in the camera mode menu found in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
If you don't see the option it means that the ro.product.device setting in your build.prop file is not been set to one of the valid device names that will enable professional mode in this modified version of the app.
The list of device name that will enable professional mode in this version of the app are: athene, griffin, addison, clark, osprey, luk, kinzie and otus
From the 5 professional mode settings I discovered that the "Shutter speed" setting does not appear to work the on stock android 6.0.1 and somebody else reported that the "ISO" setting does not appear to work on android 6.0.0, "Manual focus", "White balance" and "Exposure" all appear to work as expected.

Hey guys,
I'm intending to buy a new moto x pure for a relatively cheap price in my country and I've been reading about poor camera so can anyone tell me is true.

I used the mod from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/cameramod-t3420739
and the FreeDcam app and my MXP is happily shooting manual/raw. defcomg even created a flat field correction file for the cam sensor. This little camera is producing images that rival those of my Canon 7D.
So I bought a moto x pure few days ago but I've been really busy moving to a new home in the city where I will attend university;
Thx for your help,
About the new phone I like the performance, camera is great but not as great as you would expect a 21mpx camera to be I mean it's sharp but details are Kind of blurry if you zoom in so much and dynamic range is unsatisfactory completed to my brother's Nexus 5x camera!
Best thing about it is the front panel! Front facing camera, screen and speakers (they're so damn loud)
Camera app isn't as bad as I thought but still not so good!
It just needs getting used to coming from my Nexus 5, Google camera was way more comfortable and makes a lot more sense! The only Google camera app that worked for me is the old one I Mean the one from KitKat times! Still a nice alternative with a slightly better color reproduction!
So if you find a way to make camera 2 api work or any better camera app please let me know

BTW ISO and Shutter speed do not work, changing them won't affect the picture however white balance and manual focus work great!
I've read a lot about this phone lacking a good camera. I own a S6 and an S7, so I dumped the camera app from my Samsung phone as well as the frameworks required for the camera app to work.
I'm not sure if this will work because I don't have a OnePlus 3T phone on hand (I am planning on getting one though), so this hasn't been tested. These files are stock files and unmodified. From what I've read as long as the frameworks are available, the APK files should function, so if anyone would like to test these out and report back to let me know how it works I would appreciate it.
Recommendations:
Just to cover all bases, I do recommend everyone to make a backup of their system. This archive won't make any changes to your system outside of installing the stock samsung camera app, but I don't want to be responsible for any issues if something stops working for you.
I don't foresee anything causing any trouble because if this doesn't work, you can just uninstall it like any other app and remove the *jar files and everything should be fine.
Here are the steps:
1. Extract the archive file. (you should see a readme.txt, SamsungCamera4.apk, and a system folder)
2. Install the "SamsungCamera4.apk" file like any other app (Don't open it up yet after you install it)
3. In the system\framework folder of this archive, you will see a bunch of *.jar files. You need to move those into the .\system\framework folder on your phone. (These are required libraries for the APK to work properly)
You can do this using an app like "Root Browser", but you NEED to be rooted for this to work.
4. After you copy the jar files over, reboot your phone.
5. (Optional) When your phone powers back on, try and clear the cache for your camera app.
6. Try and run the Samsung Camera app on your phone.
I hope this will work out on this phone, because I would really like to see a better camera option for such a great phone!
Let me know what you find!
Extracted the apk and doesn't install.
Do you get any errors? If so, what is the error?

I installed it as a system app because it can't be installed normally (package appears to be corrupted) and installed all frameworks with rw-r-r.
When I open the app, it flashes black for half a second and then closes
Dang, okay. Let me look into this and see what I can do. When you tried installing it as a regular app, did it say it's not compatible or anything came up?

I would like to be optimistic but if it was possible someone would have done it ages ago. You should be able to port from one Samsung to another as the frameworks are similar but you would need to build it from the source (i.e. build the app yourself from scratch) to have it working on Oneplus 3t and the source code is not open I believe.
You would have better chances at tweaking stock camera than porting Samsung's
Yeah, I might need to look into it a bit further. I was being optimistic and hopeful. I mean, I get that the hardware is specific to the device, but I don't see why a camera like Samsung's camera app couldn't be ported for all Android devices. After all Android is built off the same base platform.
Thanks for at least giving it a try. I think I will go and order my OnePlus 3T when I get home from work, then I'll be able to do more trial and error on my own as well!
Thanks for the attempts guys!

Good luck in testing this once you get your phone but I doubt that you'll be able to port Samsung camera to Oneplus 3t. I think better idea would be working on the stock camera and improving the algorithms and post processing there.
If you get stuck and need experts view on your ideas or help with the code ask the greatest camera developer defcomg for help as he with his expertise will be able to assist you where possible
Thanks! I was actually looking at some other apps in the playstore that are considered "high def camera" apps. I know that a lot of the quality in pictures is based on the hardware itself, however I also know that the software is what drives the hardware to work the way it works. I mean, granted the specs of the camera might not be the same as Samsung's, but a 16mp camera should be pretty darn good quality nonetheless.
Has anyone played around with any of the other camera apps?
I know someone here tried the stock android\google camera. What about one of these?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riseupgames.proshot2
I realize some of these are paid apps, and I'll look into it once my phone comes in as well. I definitely think there is opportunity for some optimization to make the camera a little better based off everyone's feedback about it.
This is a good initiative to improve the software side of the camera. I know sultanxda has his own hals in his ROMs but I find stock oxygen ROM to have better images and videos with less distortion.
All the luck for your attempt. If you're able to tidy up the algorithms ,it's gonna improve the camera for sure.
Crossing fingers.
That being said, what camera hal version is the sammy cam? But even if it´s the same, I belive you have to build a wrapper to shim the sammy function calls to the qcom camera hal... Good luck!
Propably logs (logcat and dmesg) from the crashing camera app would be usefull.
Bah, unfortunately it seems like I got ahead of myself. I did a little bit more looking into this, and it looks like the SamsungCamera app is actually using a custom SDK, so it doesn't follow the same practice your other universal apps use. Apparently SamsungCamera uses some more low-level technique that doesn't utilize HAL.
Hey Guy's
Have you tried Google Camera? You can get this on apkmirror.
Cheers
Right, it's like I suggested in one of my previous posts. There seem to be a few high def camera apps available across all android platforms which might be a great alternative. I'm not sure, but it's worth a look and test.

Having tried numerous Google camera versions unfortunately none of them give us the same controls (no HDR+, burst mode which no one uses ) that would give to Nexus line users as this is limited to just Google phones. If HDR+ worked on Oneplus 3T it would give the results that Pixel users get and since Samsung camera app is no-go as expected I think working on Google camera app to unlock HDR+ that Google/Pixel phones get would probably be the only solution to improve the results on OP3T.
@m0d hipp¥ can you port or arrange samsung Gallery app for Oneplus 3T???
It will be a great help bro
