Greetings guys, ive seen that the camera api 2 is still broken for galaxy s6 in the android m, this can be checked easelly by running any custom camera app like camera fv 5, a better camera or proshot camera.
All of them return blurry pictures with camera api 2, while works flawlessly with old camera api.
Even though im very very happy with the galaxy default camera app finally supporting shutter speed and raw, i was hoping the camera api 2 wouldve been properly implemented in this build which unfortunatelly it wasnt.
So im trying to do get as much data as possible by asking you guys to post your phone model, android version, sensor brand/model and experience with camera api 2:
Ill go first:
Phone: G920F
Android: Android 6.0.1
Camera Sensor: Sony_IMX240 (To check your sensor install this app from google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.finalwire.aida64&hl=pt_PT)
Testing:
ProShot(Paid) Blurry pictures,
Camera FV5(Paid)=Blurry Camera API2 (Resolution maximum of 8mp) and up to 3200 iso, but normal image quality with old camera api (Resolution maximum of 16mp) but only 800iso,
A Better Camera (Paid) Blurry Camera Api2 but normal image quality with old camera api.
This problem is included in lollipop 5.1.1
I talk with proshot developers for this problem 5 months ago and he hasn t solution

Hi! I'm the dev of ProShot. I'm really stumped on the soft images issue on Samsung phones. If you shoot RAW you will see that correct focus was achieved, but the JPEG doesn't look quite right. Running a simple sharpen filter produces results closer to the stock camera app, but it's not quite 100%.
No other device has this issue, so Samsung is definitely at fault here. And only offering 8MP resolutions in Android M is a pretty bad oversight, they clearly didn't test this update that well :/
Hi all , I have to say that with CameraFV all problems said up are same here - blury detail on jpg photo , 8mpx max resolution for jpgs in MM. But in RAW everything is just right - detail and resolution. Dont know where is problem but think on 90% is base on Samsung's camera driver. Dont know also situation in S7.
A made also comparisson between RAWs in CameraFV and Stock Camera app for Sammy and may say that cameraFV take better detail at all , stock camera app has more noise and detail is more aggressive.
If u want i can upload reaults here to discuss
Cheers !

Thank you for your contribution people, both camera fv5 and proshot are excelent camera apps. I actually love the ability to disable ois in proshot and the very nice ui. It is indeed a shame that samsung didnt pay more attention to fix buggy camera api 2. I really like the stock app in MM it has pretty much everything and im very happy with it but the phone camera couldve been even more perfect than it already is with proper support for custom camera apps :/

Still haven't been able to get the MM update on my S6, but from other reports I hear it still might be there.
I use ProShot and I get blurry shots on my S6 but to be honest some pictures come out awesome, as if shot using a DSLR, and some it's just too soft. It's not the dev's fault, it's Samsung's.
I use ProShot on my LG G4 also and it doesn't have an issue with that. Noise Reduction removal is better in the G4 as well. In the S6 you see some type of weird over sharpening effect.
What I love about ProShot (with low noise reduction) is that it removes Samsung's over sharpening effect and extreme contrast so pictures come out natural.

Here's the interesting thing, when you disable noise reduction on the S6, the pictures are sharp and not blurry.

Thats because when you downgraded the camera api 1 was used by the app bu default instead of camera api 2

Latest 3.15.1
I have some issues with RAW capturing on 3.15.1 , on 10 photos only 1 had DNG file ?
Hi!
I'm on stock marshmallow with the august security patch. According the the manual camera test app my phone does not have raw capabilities. What could be causing this? (I can capture raw with the default camera app just fine)
4k issue on galaxy s7 shots 3264x2448 instead of 3840x2160 using Proshot. Please fix this. No 60fps for FHD option as well.
Hello fellas!
we all know that photo quality isn't the same as stock running roms like AOSP\CM.
So i want to share this google+ group with you:
https://plus.google.com/communities/105192843938506663262
Let's make it clear, i m just sharing a link, THIS IS NONE OF MY WORK.
Big up to this amazing guy that work hard for the android comunity.
Currently i'm running the HTC 10 port on mokee rom, photo quality it's defenitly better than Snap Camera!!
To all the google addicts, google camera can work on our device you need only an older apk.
Link: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-2-7-008-release/
this one runs without problems on all roms, the newers are all giving problems.
I hope u find this helpfull
Someone Can share some feedback?
Next week I will try Slim ROM with HTC 9 port
I'd like to find some good camera app with the focus peaking, but until now I had no success.
MIUI have it, but I'd like to have it in custom ROMs too.

I know that mostly Custom ROMs have Snapdragon camera, I was saying that mabye I'll try to use Camera FV-5 on some custom to see if there will be manual focus at least (I don't think there will be focus peaking tho). In MIUI installing FV-5 there's not even manual focus, instead on MIUI camera app there's manual focus and focus peaking too.

After Leaving MIUI 8 and choosing CM13 on my mi4i , i just felt miui camera app is awesome. A d after 2 weeks trying every 3rd party camera app, luckily i found a good alternative to this, and that is OPPO camera mod, you can find oppo camera app searching in threads. That works great but i have downloaded a oppo camera version that looks same as R7 camera app. You can try that searching in forums.

Probably I tried some Oppo camera with my Mi4, but I can't remember well.

Actually, Oppo camera app have more features than miui camera app, like HDR, HD pic (more sturations for cropping), slow shutter (lightning painting), Gif, doubke exposure etc etc... All you need is to download 2 apks, 1 for app 1 for plugins.. thats it. I HAVE UPLOADED 2 CAMERA APP INTERFACE SCREEN SHOTS. THATS Mi4i. CM13

If you enable camera2 api, all apps that support it will work. Otherwise, only MIUI camera has it (proprietary api?).

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.

+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.
Link to post by @dado_13
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.

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.
I`ve rooted my Nubia Z17 Lite and installed Google Cam and Meziu Cam, thank you for your great work.
Back camera works fine with Google Cam and Meizu Cam- I can choose my max pic resolution : 13 mpx. And high video recording.
But there is a problem with front camera on theese apps. I can record HD videos but apps detecs my front camera as ... 3 mpx. I can`t change the resolution.
So question is: Nubia Z17 Lite has really 16 Mpx front camera or is it only 3 Mpx cam and that is a lie from ZTE. Or do I have to change something in system settings? Please help me with it
Hi. I have rooted my phone but I have not tried the google cam and meizu cam.
Do you have the links for them? I can try.

Which version of Google camera do you use? I tried some, but they either were crashing or making photos with green squares. Although video seems to work and have electronic stabilization.
Regarding 3 Mpx thing - it is probably something in software. When you move a diagnostic app to system app, it will have access to all information and it will show camera info properly. Mine shows two Sony 13 Mpx sensors and one Samsung 16 Mpx (see the attached screenshot).
@lapist thank you so much for your reply.
I download app and it shows me I have a 3 mpx camera. 3 mpx and resolutions 2080 x 1560. Is it a big lie of Nubia that there is a 16 mpx cam or is it system failure? What do you thing about its?

It shows me the same information, but without root and system access rights, the app won't show you the actual hardware.
You need to be rooted and move the app from data to system partition to see the hardware properly, as I shown on my screenshot.
So no, it is not just 3 megapixels , but from camera has 16 Mpx Samsung sensor.
@lapist my phone is rooted. Where exacly I have to move the app on my disc?

You just need to convert the app to system app. You can use any tool (e.g. App Systemizer from magisk plugins) or move the app folder from /data/app to /system/app.
BTW, Nokia camera app sees front camera as 16 megapixels.
i have Z17 premuim and i ve same problem my app camera give me just 12.2mpx in back cam , i think the secondary cam it not work or problem in software. ??
thanks you for help ;
Front camera is quad cfa (four pixels arranged in one) raw output has quad bayer demosaic, so all apps using camera2 will see 4 mp output. That's it.

This is forum for Z17 Lite, not premium.
If you want to use the camera at max resolution, you need to switch to sensor's native ratio, which is 4:3...not 16:9. It is the same on all cameras - 16:9 is just cropped.

12 mp is already native 4:3 ratio. His problem is aux camera which is 23 mp. I see no problem here.

It is good mainly for videos - gcam has EIS, while stock Nubia app doesn't have any stabilization.
And gcam is also good for panoramas and spheres.
One more question. On HomTom ht17 with mtk cpu, the old gcam v2.7 has a hdr option. I install the same version on z17 lite and hdr does not exist!
Any of the older gcam to install, none has a hdr, and the Chinese cheap phone with mtk cpu has. How that ?

Go to the Google camera ports web page and try these 3:
Xcam 6.2 beta (which version depends on your Android version) - has all features basically
Urnyx 7.2 v1.4 - same as above however it is Google cam 7 (unfortunately cannot use xmls to configure settings)
Parrot 7 V12 - unlike the 2 above, does not allow for switching to ultrawide or telephoto, however is a great cam with xmls, lots of config options in settings and is also Google cam 7
the video is not at all stable compared to stock camera

What mod are you using? Gcam has lots of mods and tweaks, I'm using Gcam 7.2 by Parrot mod and don't face any issues.
Neither version of Gcam has video stabilization like stock cam...period!
I agree at some point but to compare stock Mi9t camera 1080p/30fps/h265 vs Gcam 7.2 1080p/30fps/h265 the quality is much better on Gcam when you're walking or hiking fast the video stabilization is not that much progressive or smoother on stock camera I'd say max 5% or 10% more accurate and it's hardly noticeable but the quality drops during the video I can clearly see the image distortion and noise.
In addition Gcam is much more configurable and better quality because it is being developed constantly and Xiaomi stock camera software is not something to judge or the company is aimed for but rather quality and production of smartphones and various equipment.
