CM13 users, which camera app do you use for taking high-quality photos? - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

While the CM13 included camera app is relatively fast and great for quick-snap photos, I did manage to make some impressive photos while playing around on EMUI camera in Pro mode (before I flashed the phone), looking suprisingly good for such a low tier camera.
Since there's no manual mode in CM13, which camera app would you recommend to purchase/download(if free)?
Also, is the HDR bug guaranteed to occur in every app?
Thanks in advance!

As far as I'm aware Honor 5x nightlies don't include the Snap camera yet. It ships with the legacy Camera, which takes mediocre pictures and can't do HDR or Panoramas.
Google Camera is available for Panoramas, but the accelerometer/gyroscope is very jittery on the phone, so the stitching doesn't do a good job.
I don't think this issue is gonna be resolved until Camera2 API is ported into our CM nightly.

I do think the same, it's about software, not a specific camera app

I tried putting the ro.camera2.prtabilty.force_api=1 in the default.prop file by splitting boot.img and reflashing boot.IMG, putting manual focus line in build.prop and then flashing the ported emui 4.0 camera with twrp... Still badluck as it says Unfortunately, camera has stopped working

Just use Cm marsh(cm based costom ROM ) comes with snap camera
Update
Now use it on any ROM
Camera App ported

I've found that, no matter what camera app I install, I can't get the same picture quality I used to get on the stock ROM. Is there a reason for this? The drivers, maybe?

I guess is the camera processing is different on stock ROM from custom ROMs

[Q] Port Sony camera to another ROM/Alternatives to the stock Sony camera?

Hey guys,
after a couple of days with the Z2 I really can't wait for Cyanogenmod to arrive. Although I'm very happy with the hardware, the ROM leaves a lot to desire.
One thing that does seem to be better with the stock ROM is the camera. Between the 4K video recording function and the various other functions that come with the stock camera I was wondering what prevents us from getting the stock camera on a 3rd party ROM? Wouldn't it be possible to extract everything from the stock ROM to another ROM?
If that's not possible, what good alternatives for a 3rd party camera are there? Any recommendations?

I just tried the cinema app they offer and sadly it is limited to 1080p and a max framerate of 30. These are really two features I'd like to keep. Still gonna try the camera app and compare it to the stock app. Will post the photos later tonight.

Google camera with HDR+

Hi,
It's a Google camera with working HDR+ for almost all nougat devices.
I've personally tested on NOS and Viper OS and let me know for others.
Disclamier - This is not my work I'm just sharing it for you all to enjoy the camera of our Redmi Note 3.
Link - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8-sZ7NYpli5YTQwMkotdExqQlk/view?usp=drivesdk
Screenshots and image
It's working perfectly with NOS and superb picture quality than stock cam hdr
It's lit. ?
Working very good for me in Nexus Experience 11.1 (rarely crash)
Enviado desde mi Redmi Note 3 mediante Tapatalk
Crashes sometimes, but man it makes a world of difference.
Works great on PA and Omni
Great camera working on viper os... Thanks dude
never thought that rn3 can take such good pics at low light.. Can u provide the link where u found this apk development..
Working on Pure Nexus. Thanks for sharing it.
I am using google camera that i downloaded on Apk Miror. But it does not have HDR+, i thought that hdr on gg cam just supports google phones. With your gg cam you gave, i can use HDR+ now. It is incredible with me. How could u find it? Thanks. I will share it to Vietnamese users. I know they need it so much
I did the same as you did. Wonder how it's working in this app. Very thankful to dev.
Hi ,
Thanks for the share! Works well. Any idea if they can enable 60fps ? Have seen other versions on Reddit with 60fps enabled
I am running latest Xiaomi.eu ROM with camera2 api enabled but the app crashes. What do? Dont want to flash LOS

slow motion video not working in one plus camera app

I installed RR ROM with android 7.1.2, installed one plus camera , its slow motion video is not working now.
I need this to be working,
can i contact sanjay varun abt this..?
I don't think he uses the OOS camera blobs, so you won't get slow motion.

If you want nougat with working slow motion you'll need to use JDC. It is AOSP though, so if you want lots of features look elsewhere.
which rom uses it then

Purenexus is what I've been using, it's a few months out of date though so you may not like it. It's just got all of the features I actually want, and they work. It also does have working OOS 3 blobs, slow motion is there and working.

Please someone port google camera with hdr+ eis for nokia 7.1

Please someone port gcam for nokia 7.1 MG _5.03.015 gets installed and doesn't crashes, videos are able to be recorded, but photo mode shows black screen. Probably not reading the exact camera id for photos.
Thanks in advance.
Download the latest build of gcam for Nokia 6.1 plus android pie, works well most of the time.
I'm using the latest build from Arnova here (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/#apk411) and most features work including Night Sight. Not sure about EIS but takes better pictures than stock Nokia. Slower for sure due to HDR+, but can't complain about the quality.

Hi, no problem! I have "GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk" installed currently and have no issues with regular camera portrait or night sight. Have to disable motion picture or whatever it is called or it crashes per the instructions on the XDA forum threads for the Pixel3 mod.
Thanks, @UCFJake.
I've been playing around with that one, but really don't think it's any better than the Nokia camera app; don't get me wrong, "Night Sight" is pretty cool, but the picture quality isn't better than the stock app...
Am I missing something?
Hi @moore.bryan,
I find the portrait mode has much better results and the plain camera mode has better light detection making slightly sharper photos, but the Nokia cam is faster to load, take photos, and store in the gallery. If I'm not using portrait mode I am honestly defaulting to the Nokia cam for speed. I guess depending on my subject I'm choosing the camera that seems to work best. I don't use the pro mode though as I prefer to point and click as a lot of stuff I want to take photos of are fleeting or non-stationary.
Hi, here you can find port for all nokia phones https://nokiapoweruser.com/google-camera-apk-download-for-nokia-smartphones/
For me it works very well on 7.1
Everything(including slow-motion, ar stickers, night sight) tested except motion photos (I am not really into that ) and it's working perfectly without any crashes. Try out this one in the link below.

Does Nokia 7.1 Support Hardware Level 3 Camera2 api?
Sent from my mido using XDA Labs
Have been very pleased with the GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk (Arnova8G2, 2018-11-27) version of Google Camera for my T-1085 Nokia 7.1. BSG version did not run at all.
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_Pixel3Mod_1.3_build.6.1.021.apk
Yes they do
Nokia 7.1 has level 3 camera api
Is there a version which works when the screen is off and double tap the power button does not bring up the permission required fail?

I have been using this verison ,
it either closes after taking the photo in normal photo mode, or does not save,
the portrait and Pro modes are working , as well as Night mode,
I'm using latest version for Nokia 7 Plus from @back.rider555 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/themes/gcam-nokia-7-plus-t3905686) without any problems. You can download it from: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-backrider/.
Yes, this one works.
Question: how to make raws without hdr?
When I want to turn off hdr, raws are not available...
Wysłane z mojego Nokia 7.1 przy użyciu Tapatalka
I didn't test much, but most of them are crashing in my device. (Nokia 7.1 3/32 Gb)
The one that is working for me is the latest from Arnova: MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova_V1.0.030119.0705.apk
In order to get Night Sight working I had to disable "Sabre" in the settings.
Results are, in fact, very good. I wish that Google could make Google Cam official for everyone ?*♂
Give it a try.

Help choosing a gcam

Hey there guys, i have 9.0 pixel experience ROM on my RN4. Camera2api enabled.
I don't know which version of gcam i am currently using but it gives a lot of force close errors and a green tint on front cam too.
I tried a lot of apps to know whether I've a Samsung or Sony sensor in it, but to no avail.
Would you please be so kind as to point me to the best gcam version suitable for my device right now?
Thank you so much kind stranger.

NO FC's, no green tint, portrait works, HDR works for both front and back and you can choose bitrate for video recording, using it for months and never looked back.
To avoid issues first fully remove old gcams you have installed.
Also i recommend flashing this magisk modules: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1RkHruqNGIKnkgfhX0B7BaeEGYc-airBc
It will let you record in [email protected], fixes distorted sound in video recordings and enables 30fps in viewfinder. (it works for Samsung / Sony, not sure about Omnivision)
To check which sensor you have just run some logcat reader, open gcam and shoot few pics, look for sensor info in log.
What is gcam? Can anyone explain.

Gcam stands for Google Camera. That's camera app from Google and it is originally found on Google (Pixel, etc.) devices. However, when using it on other phones, it can significantly improve photo quality in comparison to what stock camera and other available alternatives on the market can achieve. That's because Google Camera relies heavily on "clever" software and superior photo processing algorithms capable of generating and preserving more data. So even hardware-wise "bad cameras" can benefit from using it. Of course there are some downsides as well, since the app is not designed to be run on other - non Google - devices you need modified version of it in order to use it. That said there are many different modifications of said application with variuos degrees of functionality, bugs and stability. You can check most of them collected here.
