Replace the stock Camera app with a newer version of the Gcam HDR+. Absolutely glad I did that, best photo taking experience as of yet on the already amazing LG G6

Hello, i want to install cyanogenmod but from what i read, camer app sux, so i want to install the samsung stock apk, i haven´t flashed CM, (still have touchwiz) how do you extract an apk from the current rom to install it on another rom ???
the touchwiz camera will not work on aosp-based roms as there are framework variations. the 4.3 camera is working superbly for me. cheers.
The cyan camera is great IMO, only issue I've noticed on some aosp ROM's is the HDR being too dark. Easily fixed by just unchoosing and rechoosing the HDR option. I like the focusing a lot more than the stock camera.

Hey folks!
The recently published new camera app from Google has some nice features. Unfortunately, as many other camera apps for the G2, this camera app lacks in picture quality in comparison to the G2 stock camera and its derivatives...
I'm not a developer but I thought that maybe it would be possible to modify the GoogleCamere to shoot better pictures using our beloved G2...
What do you think?
Bye, Spatz

Why not just use one of the posted g2 camera mods? They're already optimized.

Because,
1. most of them are only updated for stock roms and
2. the don't have those nice new functions like focus control, that the new GoogleCamera offers...
The camera mods change more than just the camera app.
I find the Google camera just as good as far as basic photo quality.

Most of the optimisations in the camera of OEM phones is in the app, but many are in the Kernel. Without both you will never get the same level of quality.
Porting them over is just not possible since its not just about settings, but also drivers and often you will not get the benefit of the drivers without the OEM app.
I wouldn't mind only a mod to select 16:9 for pictures instead of only 4:3 formats.

I installed the Slimbean 4.3 Camera apk from another device and the camera quality has improved significantly!!! The only bugs are that panorama and video recording do not work..

I have the Google Camera 2.3.017.apk installed on my X and everything works splendid. I actually prefer it to the (confusing) stock camera app.
might want to change your title of the post to include the word camera.

I'm curious. How is the stock camera confusing? I found it to be one of the simplest interfaces ever.

That's exactly what I was wondering.
There's no difference in picture quality either!

I agree the moto x camera app is the best interface I've used. Google camera is too hard to switch modes and has needless letterboxing.

Guess i should have been specific. It's the "carousel" settings thing i just find off-putting, that's all. I just prefer the Google camera version.

Very good idea....it really should say "CAMERA quality improved". Simply edit your first post, and click "GO ADVANCED". Then you can rename the thread.
Are you able to assign the "shake to start" gesture to opening a new camera app?
You can if your phone is rooted and Xposed is installed. There is a module called twisty switch that allows you to launch other apps with the wrist twist, instead of the stock camera app.

Probably should mention that the app A: Uses only 6MP of the 12 the X is capable of. And B: Duplicates the official Gallery app.
Didn't saw a real image improvement....
As we all know nexus 6p has excellent camera hardware, but I am not satisfied with camera app with no functionality and sluggish.
Please recommend the best camera app you guys using.
I'm using the Sense camera, love it

I'm digging the moto x pure camera...allows you to touch anywhere to take a shot.

I got bad performance and quality from it.
From where did you get it? Maybe some ports are better than others.
The Moto camera is good also, but I like the features on the Sense camera the best. I'm just using the camera from the play store, but to do so I'm using the Sensify Xposed module. I sometimes use camera360, but have also started to mess around with ProShot. But the HTC camera is my go to camera always.

I use Proshot if I ever want to use manual, but haven't had to use it lately.

Camera FV-5 is also a great Camera App, I wish there were a way to make the Color OS Camera work with the n6p

Proshot or the stock camera for me
Thank you guys.. I will give Proshot a try..
I was using camera Fv-5
but all of a sudden it stopped auto focusing. That's bad. I'm on latest PureNexus ROM.
I like the stock camera, ProShot and Manual Camera the best. The Sense camera was my all time favorite, but I've had some reliability issues with it in the past on non HTC phones (even using the xposed hack)
Too bad third party apps like proshot can't do HDR.
I'm just making this thread because I am just not too thrilled with Google's camera. I'm hoping together we can figure out which camera ports out there work well for the 6P - and I'm hoping for some 3rd party camera recommendations as well.
Remember not to link paid apps here - just name them if they're paid
I'll start...
I tried the Moto X Camera shared by @not-i. I thought it was pretty responsive. The UI seemed a bit tricky when trying to use the "Control Focus & Exposure" feature.
Any other cameras you guys care to mention? Maybe I'll throw them in the OP. Let's see if this goes anywhere
The HTC camera port is not too bad but i wish it had Manual Mode.
This may sound crazy but I'd kill to have a port of the Samsung camera...
Be nice to have the Color OS Camera Ported

I like ProShot as a paid app. Wasn't excited about the Moto X camera cuz it didn't do HDR. I'd LOVE the moto x camera with HDR. I still use the stock camera app day to day because even ProShot shows too much graininess in dark shots.
Any suggestions for good night camera or action camera
Snap camera HDR. Also has a second api. Lots of options.
There's a trial option so you can check it out, can alter the icon within the app.
Edit: scratch that, just installed it and it doesn't work wtf? Gutted.
I'm using the HTC camera as my daily.
