CAMERA app: which one is best working on ZF3 + AOSP? - Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers

On my ZF3 until now i've tried ResurrectionRemix 8.1 and the camera apps: snap, open camera, FV-5.
Whith the "snap" and "open camera" the scene modes do not work, there is no change when choosing them, tried with camera2 and camera1 api.
Which camera is to your experience best working on the ZF3 and AOSP ROMs?

You could use PixelMaster Camera for LOS

But RAW pictures are buggy on our phone, atleast on my phone
Edit: I had 3 reboots within a short time while opening camera apps since I've edited the build.prop. I'm on official RR, but the camera2 features are working fine (except raw), thanks for sharing!

Camera fv-5, snap cam (from play store), open camera and a lot others, they have to support camera2 api. On some camera apps you have to enable it manually in the settings. Then you can control shutter speed and some other things. I've attached also a picture, on the left side the shutter speed is short and on the right side the shutter speed is a lot longer. So for "normal" pictures you won't need manual controls, but in some cases it can be useful.

Thanks for the guide.....this has solve the problem of reboot while using third party camera apps......google camera is also working without any problem
At least. MANY DIGITAL COOKIES TO THE OP. This was a thing that I was asking before even buying the phone. Many thanks to the OP.
Hmm I am using Snap Camera with camera2 API. Best thing) But it's need to activate camera2 in the Snap Camera settings (menu--"other"tab--go down and check Camera2 API string). Nice manual focus and manual settings in the HDR mode) Snap camera may a RAW format. There opens in built-in viewer and (who installed) can be pen into Snapseed editor.
Example of the photo in HDR mode with manual settings) Sorry for my curved hands and academical English)))
My curved hands cannot make good man ual photos yet)) Who knows Russian - you can check 4pda.ru forum--Redmi Note 3 Pro Camera branch. http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=750102&st=860 Many people tested this hint and VEEEEERY pleasured)))

best camera app? [nougat]

Which camera apps are people using? Curious to also know what the latest version of Google Camera is that you found can work (fully) with our phone?
I managed to get 3.2 working (only 720p recording though).
Any recommendations are highly appreciated.

I have been testing out Camera zoom FX, it seems to have all the features that the N4 can use, but i don't like the way it handles HDR.
The thing is that Google Camera (at least the 3.2 version i have) is the quickest to open (<3 sec), which is something I care about.
Open Camera is also ok, while "perfectly clear" is complete **** (which i was very surprised about).
camera mx
sorry, maybe you try camera mx, I think is so good.

Does Nexus 4 support Camera 2 API to use HDR+? I doubt it but I ask just to be sure.

I never found a complete answer for this, but what i understood is that N4 does not go beyond LEGACY level for Camera 2 API. (other options being LIMITED and FULL).
This may be due to firmware issues, sensor limitation, or DSP/ISP.
So, max I think devs can do is make an app install on the N4 but none of the "extra" features will work (like manual controls, RAW images).
I did want to mention that there are apps out there that seem to "reproduce" some of the features of more modern cameras.
For example burst mode, or some exposure settings, even ISO. (e.g., Camera FV-5).
This is mainly why I asked this question here, to find out if there is a full feature packed app out there that N4 users prefer. Since most of these camera apps might have more features than the stock google cam one but the end results are crap...
Google Camera 4.1.006 seems to work fine if you have a ROM running 6.0+ (I think). I have encountered a few bugs though.

Latest Google Camera working on LineageOS 15.1 Android Pie
The Nexus 4 is a ARM device (arm-v7a). I tested Google Camera APKs from APKMirror on Nexus 4 running LineageOS 15.1 Android Pie. I had to manually uninstall the app between versions, otherwise the other versions refused to install.
Google Camera 4.2.035 doesn't work. Force closes on start up.
Google Camera 4.2.022 doesn't work. Force closes on start up.
Google Camera 4.1.006 works. Video @ 1080 causes app to crash. To work around this, go to settings and change video resolution to 720p.
Google Camera 3.2.045 works. To get past the tutorial, change to selfie camera. Video @ 1080 causes app to crash. To work around this, go to settings and change video resolution to 720p.
Overall v4.1.006 is the latest version that works on the Nexus 4.

Fully working manual mode in any cam?

Does anyone know a third-party app that manual mode really functions? I tried asus pixelmaster but after some time adjusting the preferences it becomes buggy. I just need something that has shutter speed.
Not much into camera stuff, but AFAIK Gcam does support it and open camera (FOSS).
Try one plus camera
You can try one plus camera. Not the best but does the job. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/themes/app-collection-camera-modded-t3591177

Camera2 API

So I am on stock EUI and decided to enable camera2 api by editing build prop. After rebooting, I noticed most of the features are limited.
4K video is disabled.
SLR (or portrait mode) is not working.
Some apps that uses camera2 api malfunctions.
GCam cannot connect to camera and then FC.
Manual Camera can't display realtime camera, and most probably can't take photos as well, tho the parameter readings suggests camera2 api is enabled as well as others (RAW, MANUALS).
Are these fixable?

You can't use HAL3 in EUI. If you want to use HAL3 , then flash Pie roms. But Stock cam will not work.

Fix Camera2 API to show all cameras in all camera apps?

Hi, i was trying to use the ultra-wide camera in hedgecam2/OpenCamera, but besides gcam and the stock camera, no other apps show option to use the zoom or ultra-wide.
then i found out those apps like opencamera CAN and DO use all cameras the phones have, but the API of the phone only show 2 cameras available (like on opencamera log, "No. of cameras: 2").
on the forums, most newer LG and samsung phones show the correct amount of cameras, and allow all apps to use them (even on whatsapp, etc..)
so, my question: is this fixable? can the camera api be modified to show all cameras? or perhaps change the main camera to be the ultra-wide one?
