Third party apps that use camera - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

I recently got my hands on the Redmi Note 7. Everything works perfect up until I got around to using apps that use camera. The quality is so poor and zoomed in on Snapchat, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram etc. Front camera is zoomed in x 2 and looks like beauty mode is on. Back camera is okay but also looks beautifed. Am I the only one that experience this?
I attached some screenshots.

Note 2 Camera Apps

Hey Guys,
I thought it would be nice to add what I think are the current best camera apps for our phones :
Pudding Camera : Like hipstamatic, but the full screen uses the filter that is applied, and this is done in realtime
360 panorama : Does the job nice and easy
Pro HDR camera : Not as good as the Iphone version, but still takes good HDR pics
These ones I use daily apart from 360.
Others that are great, are :
PS touch ( for tweaking pics)
Pixlr (lovely filters) there as so many filter apps, but after a awhile they all start looking the same and I just use one now!
Photofunia (classic images to add your face to and the pictures look pro)
I'm still looking for an 8mm style video app, that actually looks good. Had 8mm and others and Iphone and still miss em
Any thoughts or additions to these apps would be great!

Change the Gallery shortcut in the STOCK CAMERA

Hello, I found the stock gallery very unpleasant
for exemple when you want to delete a picture, it take you 2-3 taps
AOSP gallery is really faster, you delete pictures in a blink, and if you miss you can still go back clicking "cancel" button
Don't want to change camera, beacause the stock one is clearly the one with the best results (sharpness, noise, focus...)
So, any way to change the app launcher by touching the little vignette on the corner of the camera app ?
Not anymore. Used to be possible on the first firmwares the phone came with, but they deleted that functionality. It's not possible on the S5, either, so likely a KitKat thing.
You also can't select it in Whatsapp, Facebook and other such apps. Wish we could.... Stock gallery is a nightmare if you have more than 20 pictures. I have about 6000, when I want to select a picture to send in Whatsapp I have exactly 1.2 seconds to select it before the gallery crashes and takes Whatsapp/Facebook with it.
I do have to object to the statement about the camera. FV5, Procapture and Zoom FX take much higher quality pictures.

Will try these apps, thanks, but I'm suspicious, tried a bunch of camera app, the stock sammy app take fastest shoot, more sharp, autofocus faster...
Google camera take worse pictures than stock
That's a shame, gallery of the Google camera is freaking cool

Google Camera Portrait doesn't detect animals for some reason?

I've installed more than 5 different apks of Google Camera on my phone and none of them have actually ever detected my pets as objects to blur the background from.
I thought this would be a GCam thing but it works perfectly on a relative's Pixel 2. Does anyone have the same gripe?

Xiaomi mi 9t and zhiyun smooth 4 compatibility

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:

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.

[10]RadicalQuack issue : 4:3 stretched Camera in 3rd party apps

Hello,
I have seen this issue pop up on a few phones and different ROMs, but recently I installed this new ROM on my Samsung J730f, and for once a custom ROM for that phone was actually stable and fully functioning ( [10]RadicalQuack ).
However, the only issue I came across is something I never had on any other ROM, is that some 3rd party apps (WhatsApp, Snapchat) use the camera in 4:3 and stretch it to full screen which looks absolutely horrible. If i take a photo, the preview looks 4:3 stretched but the actual picture looks normal, but when I film a video it just looks the same as the preview. Some apps like instagram function properly, the cam is in 9:16, and ofc the normal Samsung camera app functions as intended as well.
I tried describing the issue as best as I could in hope someone has an idea on how I can fix this.
Thanks for reading.
