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.
Hi. I'm using Google Camera 2.5.052

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.

Stock camera app from LineageOS 15.1, works for me.
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.
We need a Google camera.
The default camera should only be used when 360 degrees are needed. Let's use the Google camera for everything else. The reason is because of picture quality.

p10 plus doesn't seem to have full camera2 api at least till B177. Can anyone who's updated to Oreo confirm if there's any change in that case? Or any other updates considering camera app perhaps?
On stock Oreo (see blackball's thread in this forum) and the manual camera compatibility checker app from the play store shows this:
(Note 3rd party camera apps only use the 12mp colour sensor so the quality is not so good)

Thanks! Manual camera compatibility checker shows the same for me (stock Android 7.0/EMUI 5.1) yet, I haven't managed to get manual shutter working on any 3rd party app when using video recording. I didn't check the camera2 api myself, someone had wrote about it mentioning that Huawei flagships (p9, p10 etc.) doesn't have full camera2 api or it's restricted for system app. Can someone confirm this?
I'm trying to solve this for video recording only, so it doesn't matter if 3rd party apps can't handle the monochrome sensor. I've purchased both Cinema FV-5 and ProShot and neither seem to work with manual video controls.
By the way, Huawei Developer center is updating their support for 3rd party development and on their web page seem to have dual camera abilities "coming soon". Does anyone have any idea what that could mean?
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
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.
