Alternate Camera apps, but... - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been testing out several (15 total) camera apps and NONE can handle; indoor, low light, and no flash photos using all default setting like G2 stock camera app. Please test out your favorite camera apps vs G2 in low light conditions and confirm this, but also try out a few awesome camera apps I've been testing out.
1. FOCAL (read on CM controversy and they just fixed FC issues)
2. ProCapture (check out Fibonacci Spiral composition)
3. Camera FV1 ( overrides brightness, huge menu and 5+ second custom exposure and manual focus)
4. Camera Zoom FX (FX)
5. Pudding Camera (full of artistic live filters)
6. Perfectly Clear (after photo fixer)
7. Camera360
8. CameraMX
9. Camera Fun
10. LGCamera
11. FxCamera
12. Nemus Camera
13. Paper Camera
14. 4.4 KitKat camera
15. Cymera

I've tried a couple too. Not all of the ones I listed but a few. The only one that comes close for me is fv-5.

Try camera awesome, its 2.99 but IMO well worth it. I'm not sure if it's compatible with stock yet, but it will let you install on any aosp ROM and backup and install on stock. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just thought it worked really well on PA and cm vs the other options. I'm also nowhere in the vicinity of knowledgeable about photos, but they look good to me and it's quick with a lot of options.

Do we know if the camera performs better on something like CyanogenMod instead of the stock software?

Camera Apps Which one do you use ?

Which Camera app do you Use ?
I have tried quite a few but mostly I use Stock and Camera Zoom FX.
2.Camera ZOOM FX
3.Pro HDR Camera
4.Camera FV-5 Lite
6. I forgot to add CameraPro
7. ProCapture - camera + panorama
Stock camera is one of the best for pictures.
I use Pro HDR and HDR Camera+ for HDR.
Camera FV-5 for creating burst panoramas, and lgCamera for movies only.
wrong section post in Q & A section... I use Camera 360
Camera zoom fx saw it on iPhone as well.

Stock one. I think it's functional enough since I don't like effects and filters. Just downloaded the 4.2 camera. Hopefully it'll be as good as the say.

[Q] Camera JB+ Application

Does anyone uses the camera JB+ application (com.moblynx.camerajbplus), I don't like the CM 10 default one.
I tried the AnTerNoZ zip for the CM 10+ camera, but it just doesn't work properly.
Just want a little advice before buy it.
Thanks.

It has a trial version, I will give it a try.
Thanks for the tip.
Also if I may recommend LGcamera. Has quite a lot of options which are not easily accessible without editing system files.

Best camera app for JB
I tried Camera JB+ application & it's like Quarx CM10 camera app - it still lags on video recording... Better install galery ics & camera ics from Google Play. On Camera ICS app video is recording fine without lag. The JB camera apps is brokened on Jelly Bean... Because it conflicts with old moto binaries. On camera ics with old moto binares is fine (because you know that on CM9.1 video rec is fixed). Also I tried LG camera app (it can't save settings on defy etc. If I change focus settings & after save it's focusing fine when you exit it & open - camera settings is gone (including auto-focus). So best camera app for JB is Camera ICS (or paid ICS+ version)... also if you install Camera ICS, unistall system Gallery.apk & when also install Gallery ICS from market.
flash this zip,
flash this *****, it works on me! cm 10.1 View attachment 2010703

[Q] What Camera app do you use?

What app do you guys use for the camera? I have tried stock, Motorola apk and STRATEGISTs AOSP Modded Camera, however haven't found the perfect one
Don't use sphere mode, so no need for that. I love the overall UI of stock, but I hate not being able to use volume/power as a shutter button + no burst or timer mode and too few scenes. The AOSP mod has the ability to use power as shutter, but it's badly implemented when it locks the phone or the shutdown menu shows + no quick settings for scenes.
Do you guys have a favorite camera app for the nexus 4?
Btw I am running PA3.60 (with the included kernel), so mods are welcome.
Camera JB+
Its what i use, and exactly what you need.
it has time, volume as shutter and burst
Try snap camera HDR. It looks like the stick camera with tons of extra features.

I just use the stock camera app. Works well for just taking quick pictures.
for special occassion always have the DSLR handy

A better camera app?

First day with this fabulous device. Came from Note 7. The only disappointment so far is the camera, especially low light. I'm wondering if it's just the app itself. I downloaded LIGHTROOM and I'm getting better results but has anyone found another camera app that works well?

"A Better Camera" seems to take better quality pictures in low light (just testing it at my desk). It crashes on setting image size in the setting though (but not from the in app menu).
However, it's video function doesn't let you set resolution/rate and such like the built in app.

People seem to like "snap camera" app the most especially on low light. Maybe you can try this.

Camera Zoom fx premium
None of these seemed to make a difference for me. Mist be the hardware.

1) As a general point, low light photography is the weak point of the Axon 7 camera
2) You can try open camera. I have had good results. It is a free open source app
One thing i found just by mistake, was if you tap on where you would like to focus in low light conditions it will turn on nightmode and give slightly better picture.
Anyone able to extract the stock camera app?
Can u use Google camera ?
Sent from my Pixel using XDA-Developers mobile app
I was not impressed with Snap camera's low light performance. I actually think it's worse than the stock camera app.
Cinema fv-5 for better video
And the app called: 'a better camera' for better pictures

Yes, Google camera works great... Not any improvement in quality, but works great. Not like it did on the Nexus 6P (not able to swipe to change from camera to video, have to use swipe-out menu).
If you have the ZTE camera open, then try to open Google camera (or any other), you'll get an error the camera is in use by another app.

You should be able to extract it from any of the stock system partition images -- either direct from ZTE's files or from DrakenFX TWRP backup versions.

Oh well i had the axón 7 twise for over 2 weeks and its just too much the lack of development so I went back to the 6p got tired of waiting and waiting it's not my game

The default camera app already has the best options for low light. It's just a trade-off between shutter speed and grain. You can use SUPER NIGHT mode or ISO100 mode in manual to get less grain but you have to hold still to avoid blur. SUPER NIGHT seems to make a composite to reduce blur though.
Any sample shots using super night mode?
Zte is not using the CameraApi2 so you won't get the same quality with a 3rd party camera app.
I've personally found that HDR works quite well in low light, sometimes making the shot look brighter than real life. The only annoying part is keeping the phone steady to avoid blur.
Freedcam

I feel are the best

You can use both gcam mod and for stock camera, use camera M.
I'm personally using both of them. Both mods are good. I like both of them.

They take better photos than stock camera? Also, in order to take good photos you have to focus first? Lock AE/AF?
For me, GCam is the best :good:
Pros:
- Sharper images IMO
- Better low-light photos
- Portrait mode is awesome
- Updated almost daily
*Highly tunable, i like that i can set different models, and different modes and see which is better
Cons:
- Not compatible with all Firmwares/ROMs
- Need a Magisk module for Front camera portrait (+ it's only 4MP)
- Dots -_-
- Updates are unstable (Some of them are working better than previous versions, but some crashes immediately)
It's just my opinion
How do you take photos? Focus or not? Single tap the screen?
