Huawei mate s or p8 camera port

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

You need the frameworks so the camera won't crash

Weird. I just downloaded it. Well I didn't get the marshmallow version. Maybe being rooted has to do with it

Google Camera and HDR+

I know some devs have succesfully ported pixel camera for nexus devices to allow HDR+. Is it possible to do the same for the LGV20 so that we can also expirience that HDR+ software?

So this question really irked me, in a good way of course. Whilst studying for my history exam, I was thinking that HDR+ is essentially software based. The Pixel's camera's specs are kinda mediocre aside from the 1.55um sensor—only f2.0 aperture and no OIS; the best part about the camera is the software to back it all up. So, I looked around to see if you could potentially port the camera app itself, which might have the correct algorithm for HDR+. I came across a dev who made the app Camera NX, which in essence is a port.
So here is a brief overview of the app.
And here he explains how the HDR+ has zero shutter lag.
What really got my attention is the following quote:
This mod is just an update to Chow's Camera NX app, which itself is a port of the Pixel's stock camera app and libraries. What that all boils down to is that you don't even need to be rooted to get Zero Shutter Lag with HDR+ mode right now.

Anyways, since I do not own an LG V20 (I hope to soon, once my Note 4 contract expires), you'll have to do most of the testing and report back, if that's alright. Nonetheless, I hope this was helpful!

Thanks for the reply. I did come across that apk and installed it. It does work as a camera but unfortunatly there is no HDR+ present. There is exposure setting and whitebalance toggles. The other problem i notice is that the slow motion seems worse quality then what is found on the stock app. By all means i am no expert bit if any one else has feedback or have tested this themselves and see improovements or HDR+ present let us all know.

Unfortunately I haven't found Google Camera to work on the V20;it works good on the note 5 though...weird. Stinks because there is no option to make photo-spheres with the V20 .
scrap that. I just downloaded the latest from xda...no problems!

Thats the link I used, I just realised it was a modified version of Google Camera from the new Pixels!
Kudos to Mishaal Rahman!
Photo spheres come out fantastic with the V20!

Unfortunately with that app there's still no HDR+, and no UHD video recording.

actually the hexagon dsp on the snapdragon 820/821 does the heavy lifting for hdr+ which works different between the pixels and the 5x/6p. the latter ones only can do software hdr+. there was an interesting post on reddit about this. currently also searching for a modified google camera app as camera nx is only modified for the nexus phones. the lg g5 and v20 are very much capable of what the pixel does.

It probably isn't as simple as that. But have you tried changing the build.prop to identify the phone as a pixel?
I can't try myself as I don't have root access.

You can easily ,ake photo-spheres installing and using Google's Street View app
I tried in a recent trip to Mexico and I was amazed by the quality.

Photo sphere works on the regular Google camera app available on the play store, you don't need a modded version to use that feature

Except Google camera app is not available in the store with stock LG V20 software.

Does anyone know if it's possible to use the pixel camera mod with the wide angle lens? I'm not sure how you would put the ability to switch from regular to wide in the app but is there any way to have it default to the wide angle lens instead of the regular one?

There are reports of the app using the wide lens and for others it uses the regular narrow one. For me on my h918 it uses the regular narrow lens. There is no button for switching like on the stock LG camera so as of right now I'm not aware of any way to switch between them.

I've found nice GCam mode suitable for V20

Best camera app for le pro 3?

Hello,
i am a bit dissapointed of the camera. Quality of pictures are even worser than the quality of my oneplus one.. I dont know why, but is there a app which is especially good with le pro 3?
Which gives the best picture quality?
Thank you.

try google camera, but mine is okay, esp if you browse it on the computer and you'll see the detail talking about the built in APP

In the Telegram group, people recommend Cameringo, A Better Camera, Snap Camera
Stay away from Open Camera as it may hardware-brick your device.

Yes i tried cameringo, its OK but not that good.

I just bought "A Better Camera". Seems solid so far. A little confusing at first, but the developer seems to keep it updated. Snap Camera has not been updated in quite some time, and is much more expensive.

Feedback?

I use footej camera and cameringo for simple editing. Actually i dont notice significant quality difference compared to stock leeco camera. Its just feature/ease of use preference.

Camera App alternative

I've got a Huawei Mate 9 Pro with dual cameras and I must admit, the software is magnificent - so many modes and options. Bokeh is achieved through 'wide aperture' and it looks fantastic.
When you look at the OP5 camera software, you're feeling a little underwhelmed. It's shame because everything else is so good!
Is there an alternative?
I see there's "Camera MX", but I'm not sure if this supports dual cameras and the Bokeh effect?

Open camera seems to work ok lots of options to tweak over stock cam app

But not sure if this one can take advantage of the dual camera or do Bokeh?

No idea how you could tell if is or not but looks crisp good enough for me I'm sure 1+ will be working hard to improve cam as it was ment to be there main selling point , ??

The open Camera apps allows you to be able to capture and render 100% of the details, special effects like portrait mode .. unless they add it to the open camera source coude the app wont be able to reproduce the same mode..
Open Camera takes abit longer when taking pictures with 100% quality but the results is the quality is inded higher than the stock camera app, at least in my experience that is in OP3.

I am impressed by Open Camera. Less blurring and easy to use.

Try OP5 camera apps, its portrait mode is super

Best Camera App for Mi A1?

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 ...

Just trying out open camera, seems a bit better than stock. Next I'm trying is bacon camera

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
