I was reading on here that apparently we can update the camera drives / libs for better quality. Anyone have these libs and can upload them for me please? and tell me how to install them
Thanks in advance

Camera quality depends on camera's sensor & lenses, i don't think that any software related update can make a difference.. And if our devs do not add them maybe there is no such?

So there's this new update that apparently increases the camera quality. Did anybody notice any difference?
I didn't have the chance to test it because in Switzelrand there's no update available

Take a few shots with the old FW then take similar shots when the update is out. And share them. :good:

Yeah we all are aware about the camera quality of our beloved N4. There is no such fix for camera(in terms of hardware and software).
BUT
you can try apps like camera zoom fx(paid) it is too cool for clicking pics with good quality. Try it yourself and see it satisfies your needs.
Press thanks if I helped you. :good:
Why custom ROM camera cannot defeat stock ROM camera quality?
Because it can and does? Stock rom has awful side effects like aggressive sharpening and noise reduction. I hated it and had to mod my system files to get decent photos. Unless the custom Rom you are using has bad camera library files or something, I don't see why it wouldn't be a major improvement over stock.
I know some custom roms, like the pixel experience one, are supposed to have camera2 and HDR+ out of the box. Maybe it depends on the rom?

I have used pixel experience too, but i see almost all custom ROMs fails miserably at low light compare to stock ROM, may be some custom ROMs are using bad libraries..agreed!

Well , the motorola magic tricks aren't good at all .
Just look at the agressive noise reduction and oversharpening.
I think side loading the google camera app on the custom roms might help.

IMHO, stock and Google camera manual mode gives you very good pics.

They aren't on XDA... yet. I wanted to add them to my camera mod guide here but haven't gotten around to it yet. Savitar is defcomg here on XDA. He's a pretty awesome source of information on this topic.

Can you post these mods here and also if you can ask savitar to mod camera lib callibration as pixel2, cause both got the same sensor and having pixel2 callibration will surely improve camera quality.

Actually, Savitar said the Pixel 2 calibration was worse than the one he's been using, aside from adc noise profiling and color calibration. The rest was unusable/ didn't enhance.
There's a thread where I've tried to gather relevant links and information about the camera here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/how-to-fix-g5-plus-camera-mods-tools-t3722844
No need for custom Rom. Use Bacon camera from the play store.

For those on stock ROM, there is a modded Gcam that works on 32bit. This Gcam does not have all features, only HDR+ on rear Camera, front HDR is borked so needs disabling in the settings if front camera is used. You also need camera2 api support by adding this to your build.prop, "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1".
The camera was made for Nougat but works on stock Oreo also.

Screen attached of the settings to disable front HDR.
Excellent. Thanks for sharing.
portrait mode works?

No, as I said in OP, only HDR+ on main camera. Most features definitely need 64bit rom.
I have been informed that by changing the default black level for front camera to 16, HDR+ works. I can confirm this is true. Thanks to XDA user capedukewuhaha for pointing that out.
Also I can confirm that this 32bit mod actually works better than all the 64bit GCams I have tried on custom ROMs. I am on linage now and this camera works best.
for me, this port doesn't work... i am on moto z2 play stock oreo 8.0 October update
edit: oh, now i see... must be rooted, nah...
i am willing to root because of this moded app... would like to know if there are any improvements in pic quality, some examples? thanks in advance

There is hdr+ and less image processing. Stock camera is better for video, I use both cameras when on stock. If the extra hdr is not important I'd stick with stock since you can use Snapseed to get a similar hdr+ effect on photos. I have something else in testing that reduces the over image processing of stock camera which I will post if it works on Z2P(originally it is for Moto G5 plus, both same hardware almost).

You need root. Add the camera2 api line to your build.prop.

Settings GCam HDR+ 3.2.045.
Model and both cameras - choose Nexus6P.
HDR+ parameters - Super High.
What the front-facing camera would work in HDR+ - Black Level Value(Front) to choose - 17 (but will work both with 16 and with 15 if it is necessary).
What the back camera would record of video - in Resolution & quality - Enable video stabilization(switch off).
With these settings works all but slow motion.

MGC_3.2.045_FINAL_3.1.apk
Anyway, this app is very buggy, if u want to take good shots with it set model to Nexus 6p and auto exposure correction to *2 or Min.ISO.
Remember API2 must be enabled (on stock rom).
But, you won't get amazing pictures with this apk (our sensor, Sony IMX362, is capable of a lot more in terms of quality), HDR+ Algorithm is not very good.
I fixed focus of a bunch of gcams for our device, will post here later maybe (this subforum is dead). You will need 64 bit OS.
Hi there,
Was wondering if there is any known way to improve the camera quality a little.
Like for example do you use a 3rd party app or some mod for stock app,
or is the stock camera the best you can get ?

I already tried but sadly the newer versions, who actually improve image quality require newer android version and camera api2. Not sure if anyone managed to get it working yet, but on stock rom it surely doesn't work.
The only gcams that are working are really old and the picture quality is significantly worse than the stock camera.

The very best way is to replace the camera lens cover!
It's a small part, it's cheap and you'll be astonished
