Both the regular camera and Google camera apps suck for panorama on my phone. What are people using to get good ones? My old S5 had great panoramas.
I've been getting pretty great (by my standards) panoramas with the Google Camera. What, in particular, do you not like about the results?
stock camera has horrible resolution for panorama. google camera is higher. panorama on this phone sucks compared to the note 4...then again the camera in general does too, but panorama is just awful software by moto.

I am currently running Froyo on my Desire, but one thing i REALLY miss is the HTC Camera, as it is far superior to the stock Camera app.
Does anyone know a good alternative? or preferably an APK that will let me install the HTC camera?
Totally agree with the Sense camera being far superior to the stock one.
Would love to see if anyone could port it.

Wow 191 views and no one can recommend an alternative camera app? that kinda sucks,
camera 360 seems nice enough
Vignette?
best cam app i found so far, loads of fun playing with filters and fx
There is one called Camera ZX I think, check that out.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
there is FX camera and retro camera both are free and quite nice
From those I've tried on my own device and that of my friends, Camera Pro, Camera Zoom FX, FX Camera and Vignette are the better apps. They all have differences though, and limitations. They take the same pic slightly differently, sometimes very differently. The most sharpness, visual acuity and the least noise in taken images I've found with the stock HTC camera app, but the best colour reproduction, white balance and contrast I found with Camera Pro. In daylight and at night, these aspects looked almost indistinguishable from what my eyes were seeing of the objects. The best overall app was Camera Pro for me, but, it didn't have the high quality shot settings which others did, and that made a big difference for me. Enough to not use it.

Hey guys,
I installed the Android 4.3 Google Edition rom, and love it so far. Everything is smooth and simple, but the only real thing I miss is the panorama and how well it took those. The pictures are easier to focus and it seems to have better lighting and faster shutter speeds on this Google Edition (AOSP) camera, but the panorama just doesn't compare to the stock touchwiz...
Here are some samples from my back yard...
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_EOuDeOnDcoMklDTnc3bjZndFE&usp=sharing
TW.jpg is the stock Touchwiz camera...
AOSP.jpg is the GE camera but the quality is nothing close to the TW.
HDPanorama.jpg... I decided to purchase this 'HD Panorama +' application, but as you can see, it has artifacts and missing links... just a waste of money...
Is there a good Panorama camera app that is anything close to the stock touchwiz camera?
Thanks in advance...
took some shots with each camera from random things in and around my house in case anyone wants to draw a conclusion of the google cam vs stock cam

my conclusions, both cameras are inconsistent, but, both possess the power to at least sometimes take a good shot
thanks for this. the Moto X cam isn't that bad. really hoping L brings consistency in the camera department
I have them both installed. I hadn't even thought about differing image quality, but I really like just being able to tap the screen to take a picture in the moto x camera, and the burst mode, and I also love the photosphere and panorama from the google camera. The Moto X camera software has panorama too, but the implimention of actually taking the panorama is so much superior in the google camera app.
Judging from what I see the camera sucks. Noise...noise everywhere!! The bikes are sweet, the first one could be a sweet cafe racer and the second one looks like a cool dirt track bike.

Yes, lots of noise. The first bike is a cafe project I'm building with my oldest son. The second little bike was a bike my younger sons built for a custom bike contest. This one is my project that I've been building over the past year
ProCapture is amazing. This app truly shows that its a software issue and not hardware. The low light/ indoor photos (using their Noise Reduction option) displayed photos 10x better than stock or google
Is there a way to set Google cam as the default to use with wrist twist motion

I don't believe so, could be wrong however.

No. The twist feature is tied in with the Motorola Camera
sent from my Moto X (2014)
It's kind off nice to see the google camera do better in some cases, which would mean there still is some hope for more optimizations of the camera
it's just so inconsistent no matter what camera you use. one shot will look great, the next will look like an oil painting. i've also tried procam, vignette, zoom fx, and all cameras have the same result.

With Root and Xposed and the "Twisty Switch" module you can use Google Camera (or any app for that matter) with the twist gesture.

It still works? I thought the first post said something that it's not in development and may not work? If it works, then I may give it a try
Edit: the bugs that are there made me not want to use it...

One thing I have noticed using the google camera app and using the front camera it is very laggy. The back camera it works just fine but the front camera and google don't get along for some reason.

I believe any camera app you use the front camera will be laggy. hopefully Lollipop fixes this
Glad I found this thread!
I'd like to see some shots using HDR mode on both cams. Google Camera has a pretty amazing HDR+ mode on Nexus, but I guess this will not be active on the Moto X, right?
In my Galaxy S4 GPE the HDR feature in Google Camera takes impressively good pictures...
I'm currently trying to decide between the oversized Nexus6, the Moto X or maybe something completely different. Camera is one of the deciding factors...
Thanks!
Here's my comparison between the Stock X (2014) camera and Google Camera.
https://plus.google.com/109547535739901455455/posts/es5bnENnaz3
Looking at zoomed in sections, the stock camera does quite a bit of over-sharpening, and Google Camera seems to do a better job of capturing detail and better exposure.
I'm really excited to see what 5.0 brings us camera-wise in the coming month.
In my case i prefer the nexus 5 camera. Just the ois is a good feature.
I still use different camera app to understand what is the better one.
I'm sure is only a software problem and Android Lollipop can resolve this.
Why are people complaining about noise? If you're worried about iso noise, take photos with a real camera.
Hi, do you notice difference in quality tacking landscape pics with Google camera than the stock ?
For me it seem to be more focused with the moto app than Google even with the touch to focus.. I see this in zooming into the pics...
And for me it seem that the Google camera uses more battery...
What are your feeling ???
Until now camera is not good in lineage OS 14.1 but which is the best app so far?
this camera is not good, end of story, if you really need a great camera you should bought another phone.
Go back to stock.
Does anyone have the EUI camera app APK to side load?

No, camera Sensor is not Bad, but in lineage OS 14.1 it is not good. I think maybe if Nougat will be released official, the camera will improve and it will make its way to lineage OS 14.1 too.
Dies this make sense?

Can we simply install it as apk?
Try SnapIt camera
I dont find snapit.
Is there any other good camera app. Maybe an .apk to download driectly
Google camera is good
I've just switched to A Better Camera. So far so good, has HDR & Panarama options, easy to use UI. It does go wonky with displayed aspect ratios when previewing, but the pictures turn out good.

+1 for A Better Camera app. Works very well compared to stock app.
the best camera are 2:
1) a better camera (but the gui is horrible)
2) snap camera hdr
see you!
I use open camera. It's a very powerful app. You can adjust ISO, expose time, manual focus, expose lock. It's almost with all the function of SLR. I love it very much.
just curious. does anyone have any photo comparisons of stock vs lineage? i bought the phone recently and it shipped with lineage so i have no idea what the camera difference actually was, but i do think that camera kinda sucks. my s5 shot better photos.
Not specific for Lineage, but is there a camera app that do digital image stabilization for video?
I think the picture mode is quite decent with stock camera app, but the video mode is disastrous...
+1 on Open Camera. Also looking at but haven't yet downloaded or tested Qualcom's Snapdragon Camera. I also think the Snapdragon camera may be our default Lineage camera - so I'll likely stick with Open Camera.
Camera
I'm using moto z ported camera app. It's better then lineageOs one.

I tried:
google camera, it doesn't work;
jishnu htc one m9 (and m10) camera ports, work but are buggy;
open camera, not so great after all.
So far the best one, and i'm settled on it with my rom, is aforementioned moto z camera app.
cheers

Personal opinion: After a careful analysis of the photos, I think that Bacon Camera is the one that keeps the details "richer" even if it tends to underexpose the photos.
The photos with Bacon Camera are indeed "uncompressed" in BMP format.
Google Camera and A Better Camera Unlocked (both with HDR enabled) have a better balance of lights and shadows, but they lose a lot of detail by mixing more photos.
