I have gotten gcam installed. 2 different types actually. and neither of them have night sight working. slowmo, video at all. or portrait mode. i want the same software as like the good phones and such. but i dont really see a point if i cant use everything besides default pictures. i can use the default camera app for that. so i was wondering. do you think people are working on it and or are people planning on making one?

I like many on here was very disappointed with the quality of the camera, but thanks to the excellent guide posted on here it improved it 10 fold, but i decided to give a camera app a try anyway and looking through "htc likes" apps on My phone stumbled onto an app called "camera360".. I thought i'd give it a try as it gives you a free trial version (limited to just the basics).. and after a while (getting used to the many many options) decided to buy it, this is the first app ive bought for my dhd.. only costs $3.99 (around £2.69).. it had a handy paypal link so no messing about with my credit card etc.. if you pay with paypal it instantly becomes the pro version (it did for me anyway). They also send you an email with the file and instructions to make it the full (pro) version in case you have to do it manually or reinstall it (after a factory reset etc).It also says it gives you free updates when they're released. It has anti shake, effects, HDR, and loads more options i haven't got a clue what they all do yet! lol. The only "problems" ive had with it is although i can take 8mp pics it doesnt like me trying to take 8mp widescreen ones, and the zoom is slightly less than the htc standard camera, these may be able to be fixed by someone with more knowledge on the camera side of things. I havent got round to posting any samples but hopefully with starting this thread other people using the app will be able to post images on here (as i am a total newbie)..There are sites that gives a brief review of it (including sample pictures of the various effects available) I am unable to post the link to the review sites (as its only my third or so post). just type "camera360" in your search engine and read up on it .Like i said it works great on my phone, give it a try.. if ya dont like it just uninstall it (you have nothing to lose after all)
I have also installed the free version of cam360 and its got a ton more options than the standard camera, I will ave to try and take some comparisons - although someone with some more advanced knowledge of cameras would be better. The annoyances with 360 is the dodgey English throughout and a quite complicated interface, still use the stock one for now, just because its faster to start up, and with the guide on xda its not too bad.
I might upgrade if I can tell there is a solid advantage over stock app.

I've tried this a few days ago but I don't like the way this app returns non-accurate colors.
Cheers from my DHD.
Camera360 is really good.
Can you guys enlighten me how bad the camera is. I thought it is clear enough.

I just tried several versions including the latest 1.3 version of Camera 360 Pro and there is NO ghost setting/effect, how or where do you get it from as it is not in the list...
Hi..the ghosting effect needs to be downloaded (free)..its an add on, i think its on the apps store.. it puts images of ghosts on the pic (they look like the girl from "the ring" series).. you really have to look to see her though, its quite good how they put it in the pic..it randomly places the image on the photo.

I have Camera360 on my DX, and the app doesn't seem to focus in either of the focal modes I choose. Anyone else have this problem? Is there another way to focus?
In manual focus mode, I'll press the button halfway for focus, like in the regular stock camera, and a message appears informing me that the shot is now in focus and to take the picture. Only, it didn't focus. When I load the stock camera, and hold halfway, I notice how it takes about a second or two to focus, and the shot is much clearer than the Camera360 app.
It's really frustrating since I paid money for this, and I like all the features, but it doesn't focus!
I must be doing something wrong.
----
Okay, I fixed my issue. All I needed to do was uninstall and reinstall the app. Once I did that, the camera focuses like it should.
I tried it but it keeps force closing, i think i will remove and download again. Just to try it.
Hi, I have my PH-1 for a couple of days now and I like the pure Android and as well the camera app. There is however one single function that I miss - and that is a panorama mode for photos. I do have the 360° camera, but this is something different ... I use the panorama mode very often to have a "wide angle" photo, especially for landscape photography. Especially with the zoom factor of the PH-1 camera this would make sense. Manually putting photos together is much work.
Am I wrong or is this function not implemented so far?
Cheers,
Eriol
It's not there. I've come to rely on taking a series of individual pictures in sequence and letting Google Photos string them together through its magic. Actually does a really nice job and manages to block out some things that panoramic modes don't, like people moving through the picture. It is a limitation, though, that I hope will arrive with another update, however there are still some overall quality issues I hope they sort out first.
I have been on vacation for the past 10 days mostly. Using my wife's iPhone for pics, which has made me realize how bad the OP 6t native camera app is. Two pain points in particular:
1) Two finger zoom is extremely choppy, jumping in increments that make it difficult to compose well
2) Pano stitching misses at least 30% of the time, often grossly so, and often in good light
3) No voice triggers for the camera. Maybe I need to observe proper technique from Asian ladies but I find it near impossible to compose and trigger the shutter when doing a selfie with the missus with an outstretched hand. I used to have a LG many moons ago they you could configure to respond to "cheese" and "kimchi".
Any suggestions? I understand that third party apps loose access to the detailed hardware drivers, filtering and demosaic algorithms, but it is not like OP does a particularly good job at that too (colors are too saturated and the overall rendition is often quite dark).

Try Open Camera
Try out gcam. Stock cam is garbage. Videos are fine tho.
It's another world with gcam.

Wow, just what the doctor ordered. Can't quite figure out if it does panos but that is probably because of the gazillion settings I have to go through. I also can't get the 6t to launch it by default with a power button double tap. Still goes for the stock app despite me setting open cam as the default camera app. Maybe I need to reboot.

I have tried gcam in the past but it always seemed buggy. Can you point me to a decent implementation for the 6t?

Try this Jean Luc mod apk with your favorite config file. There are also picture samples for each config. I prefer velvia.
Put the xml file in /gcam/configs. Install and open the camera apk and double tap the area next to the shutter button. You can load the config then.

Double tap power button to open a custom camera is only possible when phone is unlocked already. OOS feature...
Sorry for being dumb but... I created /gcam/configs, put a couple of XML files in there, installed the app, launched it, but when I double tap I get "you do not have any configs files".
Does gcam need to be under sdcard or in the root?
Never mind, figured it out, gcam needs to be in sdcard.
As to configuring a custom camera app to launch with double clicking the power button - I am on OOS unlocked. Do I need to install a button remapper?

Thanks but it is not case sensitive, I have it all lower case and it works fine.
I use a combination of Camera FV-5, when I have time to set everything because I'm picky (also 40 years using film SLR and D-SLR's) and when I'm in a hurry, the google camera that was ported for the Pixel phone I had. It's faster than the Camera FV-5.
The native camera app, as you mention, SUCKS.

I tried that camera and when I zoomed in on the pictures, I still got the same mess as on previous camera versions.
If you really want to find the best camera setup for your phone and your photo habits, join google camera [op6/6t] group on telegram, I am on the latest 6.1 (6.2 sort of buggy) experimenting with glib, xlib xmls, but the possibilities are endless and there are noob-level tutorials how to set it up and which xml is for what.

Agreed. This is the place to go.
Hi all,
Recently I bought a zhiyun smooth 4 gimbal and that the app of the gimbal does not have permission to use all the lenses. The gimbal is compatible with Filmic Pro, but neither this app can use other lenses than the main one. It is possible to let third party apps use all the lenses of the phone?
Another possibility is to use the gimbal with MIUI camera app. Somebody knows if it is possible to use the buttons on the gimbal with the MIUI camera app? I tried to connect the gimbal manually via Bluetooth but with no luck.
i think the problem is the camera API. i posted this tread a while ago:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-9t/help/fix-camera2-api-to-cameras-camera-apps-t4078935
about the same problem, third party camera apps only see main camera, no wide or tele. because the phone tell the apps it has only one back camera.
only "special" apps circumvent this limitations, like the stock camera app or gcam
maybe a custom rom can shows all cameras properly.

Thank you for your reply. Maybe I will try a custom rom later. But for now I observed that with Filmic Pro the recorded videos are noisy with 24 fps (with higher fps is even worse) than that I observed with the stock camera app. This happens mostly inside where the lighting conditions are not perfect, but still I don't understand from where comes the difference.
Because of this issue, now I'm more interested in using the gimbal with the sock camera app. Even if I can use just the record button on the gimbal is better than to have noisy videos and pictures. But for the moment I could not find anything regarding this.
Question guys. Possibly brought up months ago, idr. Im on CPT right now.
Thats Coronavirus People Time
Not....not the other one.
Anyway back when, i remember adjusting some build.props in busybox to where stock camera utilised all 3 rear lenses simultaneously. It looked great. This was regular photo mode and whatever reason cleared up that red/dark tint plenty people had with ultra wide nightscape in particular. I got ahold of a more recent kali linux for personal reasons unrelated but it came with apktool. Curious if anyone has experience with this at all as im not the biggest gcam fan (it is what it is, chill) for a couple reasons but the biggest being long exposure. For example stock camera at 30 seconds will collect light and data before the shutter click whereas gcam does the shutter click first, followed by collection. So unless i got starcam mod (that worked) my night sky photos would be entirely too dark. No i dont want to excessively up the iso and wait forever for processing. A nice 30 seconds and 320 with farthest focus works awesome on stock followed by minimal lightroom adjustments. Point is i DO want to use either superwide or the combo that i mentioned earlier in pro mode. Inb4 search forums, i honestly dont have the time so if already mentioned in a way, a link would be appreciated. Any other advice with anything else like buildprops or what latest apk is that works with this device would be awesome. If anyone has modded a newer UI to work for this, id like to know as well if possible. Thanks frens
If you are unable to simply google what you are looking for, & you know what terms to use since you seem like a photographer:
Then you'll have to probably make this. I hate the stock camera apps and all the google play store stuff too.
I just wish we could have a Canon quality camera on a phone and PC webcam.
Is it really that hard ???
Good luck. I hope you get into programming and I get to use your camera app!
Im not, just been a while since messing with anything. Had bookmarks etc from hours and hours of searching where to find the files to edit (using the phone, rooted magisk) various strings and found some stuff thatd work some that wouldnt and crash the app but its like
All im saying is for example with gcam (and others)
You can have exposure time of 60 seconds where op stock is limited to 30. So its not a hardware thing rooted or not. Definitely software. Apkstudio is basically above but gui. I know some people find things easier unix/linux related (like android) to do from linux in the first place instead of cross platform. Some things are just easier. Wasnt really sure how active anyone is on this device anymore. An easier goal would really just be getting the newer UI, pre android 11 betas, to work but idk nothing about that either. And if i did this shutdown stuff past 6 months really got everything throwed off.
