HDR is in your camera settings. Auto, on or off are the choices. I suppose any app for HDR hooks into this setting.

Camera application

On default camera application, i seted best qualitu, but images little smooth because jpg commpresion is on high level.
Is there any chance to set commpresion manualy or turn off compression?
Or maybe anybody know another good camera app?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Manually set compression? Not aware of... Probably if you modify the camera.apk.
Did you tried to remove the back and take pictures without the cover? If there is a huge difference, then remove the plastic covering the lens - I have it like for 6 months now.
Good camera app? Zoom FX, Camera 360 ultimate ect...
Ok, i will try this app. Maybe photos cant be better, because phone is not camera :-/

I'll try too, thanks!
about the cam app...
you can try "HDR camera" from the markett
thereĀ“s a free version with a banner here and there, personally i live with it
it takes 3 pictures and computing the best resolution or something like that..
just remember its a suckysucky cam app for taking pictures of moving objects because of the "3 picture thing" it has..
im just a noob here so i cant upload a picture taken with HDR so you gotta test it out yourself, have a good one!
search a bit around...you have to edit the build prob and set up this..
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100
most roms..should have this inside...like mine hybrid
with kind regards

Try opencamera or snapit (vibe x2 camera). I try maybe all and these are the best in quality. Regards

Google Camera (v2.7.008) Lens Blur outputs low resolution image

Hi all,
I've been using Google Camera (this particular version) since Nexus 4, then S6 and then now OnePlus 5. Just found out that the image size was only 1.6mp when using Lens Blur. I can't remember exactly the image size, but I believe it was higher in S6.
Any idea how to get this *fixed*?
Thanks for any input.
PS: There was a reason why I didn't grab the latest version Google Camera. But at the spur of moment, I've forgotten what was the reason.
From what I can tell based on searching, lens blur has always had a low resolution. At one point when the Google Camera app was first released, they had an option to have the resolution at 2048x1536 instead of the default 1024x768, but that option was removed later.

Thanks for the info. Looking back at some Lens Blur photos produced on S6, it was only 2.4mp. I was getting 3.1mp with Nexus 4.

Best alternative Camera App

I just got my new Mi A1 and i found that the stock camera app is very good in good light conditions, although in poor light i got only blurred photos.. I tried to install the google camera (stock apk and also the hdr+ mod) but it always freeze and stop when i launch it.. I don't have root, so camera2 api aren't activated (and the hdr+ don't work without that), but i thought i could have used the google camera as a normal camera app just to try it.. are there any good camera alternatives that i can try or should i root to improve photo quality in low light?
Without rooting i don't think you can improve camera quality much
Maybe you can try open camera and see if it helps much.
I tried most camera apps out there and the best option is root, enable EIS/Camera2 in the build prop and ported Google cam with HDR+.
Rooting is easy enough on the A1, but if you don't want to do that try the latest HTC camera on apkmirror. Only thing not working on that camera is the HDR mode; it crashes if you turn it on. It will give you better photos indoors with normal lighting conditions. Low light/night will still be quite blurry.
Thanks a lot, i'll try the opencamera and the htc one, cause i decided to wait until andorid oreo for root.. ? anyway, any idea why the google camera apk (from apkmirror) doesn't work?

Because you need to enable Camera2 API in the build.prop. Otherwise it won't work.
You can install an old version of the Google cam like v2.7 but then you don't have HDR+. Other than that it works fine, though.
Try AZ camera
Well this is just my view but after trying open camera,
Snapdragon camera, the default camera hht mode, and bacon camera. I got the best results for night shots using the bacon camera manual mode and selecting the Sutter speed set to the lowest of 1/8 but keep in mind you need to keep your hands very steady. I used my selfie stick as a stand it helped me keep steady.

Because google doesn't support dual camera.
If I root my device will I get Google upgrade via OTA?
I use this port by B-S-G (MGCB_7.0H_C2API_Min_v.1.4.apk):
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-updated-zero-shutter-lag-xiaomi/
nivost said:
I edited the build.prop and added the camera2api without root. Both cameraapps work properly (GCam and MiCamera).
It improves camera qualitiy very much, especially in low light conditions

How did you edit build.prop without root? Also the link leads to a 403 forbidden page... at least for me

And one month later you'll ask why OTA update fails to apply.. Just wondering, why do you prefer direct modification of system files instead of systemless Magisk? It really puzzles me why some people do and suggest this without mentioning the drawbacks.

Oneplus camera. Working fine.

If u do it without touching system partition, yes. Can be done with Magisk and the module in the Mi A1 development section.

Front camera doesn't work, neither does access to photo galley. Also photo taken was quite small file size, open camera seems better. This was with Jan 18 updated one plus camera app
Try Bacon Camera (CameraApi2 Free)
Check out the bacon camera from play store, you don't require root and it is specifically made for non supported CameraApi2 Phones,
It has a ton of manual settings.
Hope it helps
i use this port:
"scrubber_GCam_5.1.018_25 (scrubber, 2018-01-09, no config needed, changelog)"
i am new user, so i can't post links. Just google it and search for celsoazevedo.com.
The you can find almost all ports that were mentioned here (requires root)

Edit: nvm found out it needs root.

Lost my original Google camera HDR+ apk

Hi guy's
I had to reset my phone because of the moisture detection message error (don't even ask nightmare)
Anyways I had the excellent ORIGINAL HDR + camera app, and loved it used it for most of my pictures but cannot find it now! I've tried seriously about 100 version from here of new modded ones but most crash and don't work or the ones that do don't get close to the over egged pictures I use to love using the original. The one I had official all I can remember is it had the option to turn on or off HDR+ mode lots of the original I've tried don't seem to have that option in top settings bar, also the app logo was the black one with blue camera centre if you get me.
Just checked on my photos I uploaded to Google photos on my lost Google camera app and is as below info

Cheers bud... Have got one that works but just can't replicate the image quality. Not sure if you saw my imgur image above. I'm not a pro photography and no doubt it's not the best but I love the type of image I use to produce

Got it mate ....yes more like it always had the delay for HDR processing happy with that though for results i get.....:good: many thanks will back it up closest i have got to my original but not tested this properly yet but looks good.
Outside picture effects on HDR on google camera were awesome for me
You know GCam is based on algorithm learning... In a day or 2 u will see the result... Also processing time decrease if u use zsl.
