I find it ridiculous that such a feature does not exist on the default Camera App on OnPlus 6T. What bothers me the most is that there I can't change the format to 16:9 and the resolution to something that eats less MBs. Only have 4:3 and 18:9 available and there's no way to change the resolution either.
Any android phone maker out there let's you change the photo resolution and format. It kind of defeats the purpose of having and Android phone (which supposedly offers you greater flexibility than an Apple device).
Then there are tens of Android apps available that also allow you to do that. The only thing is that even if you set the 3rd party app to be your default Camera app it won't work fromt he Home Screen. By that I mean if I would be to double press the home button, I would like my 3rd party camera app to open and not the OnePlus camera app, which does not have the options that I want.

Ya that is pretty stupid. Lots of people are using gcam tho and I guess this is why
Resolution is the very first thing I change
Thanks for your post ... I actually grabbed the latest Google Camera apk and installed it as my default app.
I actually gave up on using the Google Camera App because it was crashing, freezing or not even taking the pictures most of the time.
I ended up using the regular OnePlus camera app, capturing photos in the wide 18x9 format and enhancing / croping them in Google Photos to 16x9.
When you said you were double tapping the home button to bring up the camera, did you mean the power button? You can choose the default camera to use for the system, and it'll use that camera app when you hit the power button twice.
Nope ... it will not bring the Default camera app when the screen lock is on, it will bring the OnePlus camera app.
Another known defect on all OnePlus devices.

Has anyone noticed we're missing the option for camera modes on our stock camera app? My coworker has the Motorola Droid 2 and his built in Camera app has the ability to shoot panoramic photos (you access it by pressing menu while in the camera app). Doesn't make sense that we'd be missing a feature that an older Motorola Android phone had…
camera 360 helps a little
not too much
I'm not worried about Panoramic myself, but the lack of tap to focus is really annoying.
Besides manual controls, i should be able to turn off camera sound/click.

try this. This is the best camera app available IMO. Also has the feature to disable the shutter sound
I like manual camera! Price is 1-2 euros but gives you full control for everything: shutter speed, manual focus etc.
I use snap camera from the playstore
I have Snap too but I am not completely satisfied from Snap's quality. Maybe I have to play with the settings but I don't want to have such an app. I like good photos out of the box. Just launch the app and take the photo. Also I am searching a camera app that when your want to take a selfie in the dark, you can enable virtual flash that enables a white frame on the screen with maximum brightness in order to light your face. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KFMhlpGUrs on 5.34
As the title says is there a way to open google photos instead of the gallery when viewing the most recent picture from the camera app ?
On google photo go to setting and add shortcut to camera app
Does anybody know of a mod that uses the actual built in gallery button though? The overlay on the camera app doesn't work that great
Hello
I was very much interested in LG G6 and have even ordered it once in eBay yesterday and cancelled it after getting to know one information none of the reviewers have pointed it out.
I have heard that most of the 3rd party applications would show black border even in portrait mode because of the aspect ratio difference.
But I was also been told that applications would automatically utilise the entire screen at least in portrait mode.
I have also heard that LG provided scaling function is not of great help as well.
I am from India and I am not sure how much time it would take for the developers here to update their application for a new screen aspect ratio.
Please provide your valuable inputs.
I am upgrading from Nexus 5x
This model released just 4 months ago so expect little delay with specific apps but LG's scaling works fairly well in standard apps, I would say stick with ur current phone for few months.
Thanks for your kind reply.
I am using the mobile phone mostly for applications and in portrait mode itself and would watch YouTube videos also.
I am not using the mobile phone for gaming.
Can you please post some photos of the scaled applications ?
I heard that the navigation bar would be in black colour even when an application scaled.
Are all Google applications and prominent 3rd party applications support the 18:9 aspect ratio?
yes the navigation bar does turn black but it will be hidden under the app your are using in full screen and pull down on noti panel will bring back the navi buttons, so if u watch YouTube videos after scaling u won't see any back bar while in full screen.

You mean I won't see black borders while youtubing in fullscreen?
yes but only if the content is in 18:9 format, lets say if u resize YouTube app and the video is also coded in 18:9 format then the bar will be hidden, at least that's my experience on couple of occasions so far.
Whenever I open the stock camera app, screen brightness is automatically set to maximum. I get that it's a feature some people like to take better photos but there should be an option to disable it. Other camera apps have this option but lack EIS or portrait mode. Would really like to use the stock app but this one issue is very annoying. Any help?

If you feel that the camera is really important then you can explore XDA for enabling google camera on phone .
The automatic is a default configuration in the phone and you cant do anything for that . Its actually useful because sometimes the display is visible during bright sunlight . Or else install the Nokia camera port on the phone. It will also give the extra PiP feature :laugh:
