Hi all,
I was wandering if there is any performance or quality hit with the s5 camera when using a custom rom with does not use the s5 camera app.
I have heard that they had some improvements with the Samsung app.
Thanks!

I've been using the Google Camera instead from the Samsung one. The photos at night have better quality, and the interface is more simple .

There are many hardware features you'll loose out on by using Google's camera app rather than Samsung's camera app.

Hi everyone, I've been reading around a bit about the Z2 camera and I'm finding some very conflicting opinions. GSMarena did a camera shootout not too long ago for which I'm pretty sure the Z2 came last or at least did horribly. (http://www.gsmarena.com/camera_shootout-review-1104.php) What makes this interesting is that DXOmark (http://www.dxomark.com/Phones/Sony-...ed-model-takes-first-place-in-Mobile-rankings) did a review on the Z2 camera and it scored quite highly. Am I missing something here? I don't think the stills are amazing to be honest and I mostly use superior auto. Is superior auto just garbage?
Camera has been improved with the new 4.4.4 Android update.Second of all,yes - Superior Auto is complete crap to be honest.The real deal is shooting in Manual Mode.So you need to play with the camera options abit to achieve the shot you want to see.Apart of that i don't beleave that the scores from dxomark are true.Sony has a crappy software (we all know that),so if u have time to shoot something - do it on manual. You will be surprised with the results.Use superior when u need to take a fast shot only.

Well you can try by yourself and decide which one fits you the best..Personaly i use the stock app using Manual mode.Other good apps are Camera 51 , ProCapture camera , LGcamera. Try them and decide. Cheers :highfive:

Thanks man.
I have to admit this the Z2 is horrible under use of Superiour Auto however manual mode with correct settings, this camera will eat others
I recomend using the stock camera

I dont know of any guides
Try googling words you dont know such as:
Exposure
ISO
Metering
White balance
Anything else you dont understand
I usualy like to use these settings:
ISO400(always)
Metering: Spot or multi
2MP size
Apropriate exposure and white balance
Flash i try to keep off

Just see.
My opinion: currently Z2 Camera is amazing, in Manual Mode.
Recommended.
See more on my Flickr, here is the example:

Sony only pretends to allow other apps to take control of for example ISO (FV-5 Camera comes up in my mind in particular), but doesn't do so. The onyl camera, which really can use manual settings like ISO from user is crappy Sony Camera app unfortunately. We should all pray for Sony not screwing up 5.0 update with all it' new camera APIs being open.
So it seems to be unanimous that superior auto is crap, I'll start using manual then from now on
Thanks guys!
Is there any camera app for CM12? like in touchwiz, i mean more advance than the CM camera app??!!
Google play is the place to try. Maybe google search for "the best camera".
There are lots of Top 10's about those kind of things.
Looking for an answer as well. What I'm really looking for is a camera app that can match the night mode of the touchwiz camera.
if i found great camera app, it will for sure missing the camcorder!!

Camera FV-5 And Cinema FV-5.
but it's a paid app. you know what to do already. (if you know what i mean)
but it has no front camera feature. so just use the normal aosp camera for front cam features.
that's what i'm using when i'm on AOSP Builds such as CM11,CM12,Carbon Rom etc.... :good:
good luck
Can anyone who's using GPE by Danvdh tell me how the OnePlus One camera app is compared to the Motorola and Google Camera? I always wondered and now I won't have to start a new thread

I thought you're from Davao? Never mind dude... [emoji1]
Found a really promising camera alternative for low light photography. App is called "A better camera."
What I really missed though is the touch to focus feature from the TW Camera in night mode. So far, every app I've tried won't work with touch to focus in night mode.

touch to focus actually works on Camera FV 5. but focusing on that camera/app is only at the center
hey I wondering if it is possible to port the good camera from Huawei mate s or Huawei p8 , even honor 7 . they are the same with lot of good functions. well nexus 6p is a Huawei device too, do u think it is possible ?
It likely uses the EMUI framework so I doubt it. The Google camera app is great and there are other options on the play store if you don't like the stock one
y cant we have few features like using the fingerprint sensor for taking selfie or scrolling? No such app?

Its a Nexus (AOSP based)not a bloated EMUI phone. That's why it doesnt have those bloated features, nor does it need them. I never take 'selfies' or even use the FFC so it's not important to have for me. You have to remember that this is a Nexus not a skinned UI phone so it only has the bare minimum in terms of software features. If it had Huaweis normal UI it would be slower and the phone would be ruined.

Sorry m8 but the stock camera app sucks. No ISO, no Sutter speed, no manual focus, nothing. Fv-5 is great but it needs some bug fixing cuz sometimes is just wont focus and won't capture at all.

None of that is really required on a phone. The stock camera app works great, and doesn't clutter things up with necessary features. I use my DSLR frequently in manual mode which serves a purpose for a real camera; phones don't need manual adjustments especially not the 6P. Every picture I've taken has come out perfectly the first time I took it. I don't need to play with settings like I did on my LG G3, Nexus 6, or S5.

I don't know about you but I really miss the HTC camera app. Editing the photos in real time using the MF, SP, and ISO can give you the image your looking for. Nevertheless, even on auto setting on FV-5 it takes better photos then the stock camera app on the 6p. For me it always seems to be over exposed and washed out.

I've never owned an HTC so I can't say I know what you're taking about. I know there are a lot is good camera apps out there, but I've never had any bad pictures from the stock app with auto HDR and flash off

As It is well known that Google Camera app works only Root, is there any other better camera app without Root? What about Samsung Note 8's camera app? I've tried the one plus 5 app. The results have very minor difference.

Except Google Ported Camera all other camera apps are very bad for A1. A1 stock camera is really nice in Day light. U only have issue in low light with A1 camera.
And Samsung Camera won't work in A1 ...

Open camera has support only for single primary camera
Try Snapdragon camera. The HDR is way better on sd camera than the stock camera. Remember to set the image quality to High

google camera is now ported for A1. you can use it without rooting your device
my only answer:
for daylight with plenty of light - the stock camera app
for lowlight and HDR mode - GCam HDR+ (no other camera app can replicate how this one does)
:cyclops: I already tried those "other" camera app and paid the premium version.. still GCam wins
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.
