Im facing a terrible problem, when I'm using the camera it is focusing right, but when I turn HDR on, stock camera or camera zoom fx, doesn't matter it focus just one time and stay with the focus signal and GUI texture. Sometimes it makes a rattle sound, but just on HDR mode, nexus 4 have an HDR through the software or hardware? I faced it on CM 10.2 stable for the first time but I gone through a lot of custom Roms and anything change it back to factory, I'm on stock 4.3 now, and facing just the focus problem, not the rattle.
Anyone?
I do have a problem with HDR mode but it does auto focus when I move camera around. If I touch to focus it wont, it just shows green already focus sign. Whoever I ask they just told to clear camera and gallery app caches so you may try it and if it works ?

Yes, this is what occur with me, I changed many times my custom rom, but I think it's camera hardware problem, but I can't see why it just occur with HDR, in all apps that use HDR hardware and not the usual software with two images I can't focus and sometimes crashes, if I let it focus it focus normally. Auto focus work, we need to find a fix.

I also experienced that sometimes selection of other scene modes(party mode for example) this tap to focus also dont work. Only fix that works is " only first focus works but if you try more it wont until restart camera app or take picture" Probably hw problem but hdr is a function of taking two pictures and combine them, why would it be a hw problem while normal mode focusing works ?

Yes but we have two different hdrs in the world, the one that is combined by software after taking two pictures, and our HDR like the iPhone one, the processor and the camera works together to take two images faster, and combines it with hardware. With software you see the camera shots two times, with hardware it's like nexus 4 and iPhone, you see 1 picture taking and a Loading icon until it saves, because it uses hardware. I think it's camera problem, if you see the camera changes when you click on HDR, the exposure changes automatically without the autofocus or touch, before that, because the hardware already changed everything to take HDR shots.

I think I might have find a solution can you try to use latest version of "snap hdr camera" ? I think it allows you to touch to focus in HDR mode(but not hdr of app you need to select it from scenemodes)

For HDR i'm using Pure HDR Camera. I have the snap hdr camera, if you compare to stock, you can see that you are able to use touch to focus because it isn't the same HDR technology, stock camera use the built'n HDR feature of the hardware, snap HDR camera just take 2 fast pics, one with low exposure and one with high exposure. The stock camera do the same thing, but because this is a hardware feature, you don't see the camera changing exposure or taking more than 1 picture. To a workaround you found the snap HDR camera and I found Pure HDR Camera, it takes 3 photos.
Edit: Here is a compare, if you hold still, Pure HDR do a better job, look the results without cheat, same hour, same exposure, same local, Snap took 2 pictures, pure took 3 and saved each exposure too.

I think you did not understand me correctly. Snap HDR has two hdr modes; first one in directly in setting menu (not so good HDR) but it only took two pictures and merge them. Second one is added only for nexus 4 (real hdr) and it is in scene mode settings. You need to check second one. I attached some pictures 1st one is taken by Snap HDR with "real HDR" mode 2nd one is stock camera HDR mode 3rd is the Snap HDR "not so good HDR" mode setting 4th one is the good HDR mode setting you should try it is the same as stock camera HDR. But problem is which I realize now, focusing still not very good and if you are stationary it still can not focus correctly but at least it tries. In snap if you move just a little and focus it by tapping it focuses correctly but in stock app you need to move camera then autofocus kicks and focuses.

Oh, know I understand, when I arrive at home I will check it. As you already saw, I think it uses the same hardware function as stock camera. Really, checkout Pure HDR camera PRO, it's awesome, and it's really like professional HDR. I think we will stay with auto focus :/. I already tried to create a custom stock camera with a updated touch to focus code but it doesn't changed anything, seems that camera change her functions when we select HDR. I will edit this post later, to achieve a better HDR picture you need to take it outdoor, when exposure change a lot.

Greetings!
Before I think about opening and exposing the guts of my beloved Note 3 I had a question. The problem I'm having as of late is with my autofocus. When I open up the camera app I feel the camera vibrate as its focusing. Sometimes it will focus in on what I'm looking at, sometimes it doesn't.The autofocus will vibrate for long periods of time sometimes with no luck and will just be blurry. I'm thinking I could just replace the camera but what I need to find out is if it's the camera or does something else control the autofocus? I've also tried another camera app camera fv-5 and the problem with the autofocus is still present. Many Thanks
I had a similar problem. My camera looked like crappie blurry fuzzy, not like before 4.4.2 so I tolerated it until battery life was a disaster then I found xda and rooted and instslled jasmine rom and that fixed my camera and battery. Now the camera is s5 camera big difference in quality battery is great as well. I double checked my camera by installing a different rom and wow it looked so bad I could not see anything but blur so I went back to jasmine the newest version.

Hello,
I've installed the Lenovo Camera.apk and it works great.
With the samsung camera, maybe try to turn on the flash, It did resolve my issue with the autofocus.
Until now camera is not good in lineage OS 14.1 but which is the best app so far?
this camera is not good, end of story, if you really need a great camera you should bought another phone.
Go back to stock.
Does anyone have the EUI camera app APK to side load?

No, camera Sensor is not Bad, but in lineage OS 14.1 it is not good. I think maybe if Nougat will be released official, the camera will improve and it will make its way to lineage OS 14.1 too.
Dies this make sense?

Can we simply install it as apk?
Try SnapIt camera
I dont find snapit.
Is there any other good camera app. Maybe an .apk to download driectly
Google camera is good
I've just switched to A Better Camera. So far so good, has HDR & Panarama options, easy to use UI. It does go wonky with displayed aspect ratios when previewing, but the pictures turn out good.

+1 for A Better Camera app. Works very well compared to stock app.
the best camera are 2:
1) a better camera (but the gui is horrible)
2) snap camera hdr
see you!
I use open camera. It's a very powerful app. You can adjust ISO, expose time, manual focus, expose lock. It's almost with all the function of SLR. I love it very much.
just curious. does anyone have any photo comparisons of stock vs lineage? i bought the phone recently and it shipped with lineage so i have no idea what the camera difference actually was, but i do think that camera kinda sucks. my s5 shot better photos.
Not specific for Lineage, but is there a camera app that do digital image stabilization for video?
I think the picture mode is quite decent with stock camera app, but the video mode is disastrous...
+1 on Open Camera. Also looking at but haven't yet downloaded or tested Qualcom's Snapdragon Camera. I also think the Snapdragon camera may be our default Lineage camera - so I'll likely stick with Open Camera.
Camera
I'm using moto z ported camera app. It's better then lineageOs one.

I tried:
google camera, it doesn't work;
jishnu htc one m9 (and m10) camera ports, work but are buggy;
open camera, not so great after all.
So far the best one, and i'm settled on it with my rom, is aforementioned moto z camera app.
cheers

Personal opinion: After a careful analysis of the photos, I think that Bacon Camera is the one that keeps the details "richer" even if it tends to underexpose the photos.
The photos with Bacon Camera are indeed "uncompressed" in BMP format.
Google Camera and A Better Camera Unlocked (both with HDR enabled) have a better balance of lights and shadows, but they lose a lot of detail by mixing more photos.
Hey guys what's the best camera app to use with this phone?
I've seen that when recording video the auto focus doesn't work so I wanted a good app that does.
The best camera app is the one that comes on the phone. It's the only one that supports the camera's more advanced features like optical image stabilization.
Edit: it should be noted that things like autofocus are handled by the OS when using third party camera apps. Unfortunately, no third party camera app will be able to autofocus better than the stock camera can.
On my Note3 previously, it shot decent pics on the samsung ROM, but when I flashed custom ROMs (AOSP) and used the non-samsung camera app pics looked horrible.
Currently on a Nexus 6p, and I like the fact that irregardless of the ROM I use, the default camera app (e.g. Google Camera) can always shoot nice pics.
Contemplating the OP5 - is this the same with OP5? If I move from the stock ROM to any of the custom ROMs, will the camera app consistently be able to shoot the same quality pics/videos?
I stand to be corrected here..
Currently the OP camera isn't available on non-oxygen stock roms.
The quality of photos using Google Camera (or other non-OP camera apps) is generally as good as the OP camera app, and some people would say better, as the OP camera app has aggressive smoothing which is noticeable when you zoom in on a photo. The watercolour effect.
The downside of non-OP camera apps is that there isn't support for the second lens. This rules out the 2X optical zoom, and also the OP Portrait mode.
There is also a lack of support for 1080p 60fps video, and I *think* EIS for 1080p and 4k videos.
There is OOS camera in RR unofficial
