I was an iphone 5 user and made the switch over to the Note 2 recently. One thing I miss is this app called Simply HDR. It's a faux HDR that added some neat effects. I'm no photographer at all so I don't understand your basic photo settings which is why simply HDR was great because you could just choose a pre set and be done.
Does anyone know of an app that does pretty much the same thing, maybe one that I missed?
I have tried pretty much all apps i come across and the only one that comes close is HDR fx. Downside is it is way over done and the photos look over processed and terrible. There is also very few pre sets that create the desired effect.
Have you tried

Are you running a Custom ROM? The aosp cameras have an hdr function.
Sent from my VZW GALAXY note 2
So far ive tried a lot of different apps. I like the best 'Fotor' and 'Camerace'. The best photo editor is either PicsArt or Aviary.

I purchased the following apps and have had great success with them.
You can see some photos taken with Pro HDR Camera on my Flickr @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/
Pro HDR Camera
HDR FX Pro (Have to play with the settings quite a bit to get the desired effect)
Perfectly Clear (Used to clean up images before sending to HDR FX or perform additional touch-ups after processing with HDR FX)
Pixlr Express (Used to clean up images before sending to HDR FX or perform additional touch-ups after processing with HDR FX and useful for resizing images)
You may also want to take a look at Vignette Camera and Camera FV-5. In my opinion, Camera FV-5 gives you the most control over the settings and pics.
Hope this helps

Hey im back... you can continue with life =)
Unfortuantely the only app that gets close to what im looking to accomplish was photo fx but it was way over processed looking. Ive got to spend time tinkering.
I got an email from the guys at Simplyhdr/JixPix and they plan in releasing simply HDR on android soon hopefully. Its not a natural hdr which most if the apps here seem to be doing actualy hdr function...taking multiple photos and stitching them together. Simlly hdr takes one and creates an hdr effect that seems more dramatic. Hard to explain.
try this...

do you have a sample pic of what you're trying to accomplish?
Just use a camera ... I mean if you are that picky about HDR settings on a cellphone..
Don't ignore this post!! Try it! It works wonders!
Hi guys, I am certain everyone is unhappy with the camera quality of Lenovo A6000 plus, otherwise a great phone. Having used LUMIA 920 for 2 years and LUMIA 520 for 6 months, I was very much disappointed with the camera quality of this phone. I was expecting it to be at least on par with the 'just 5MP' camera of 520 but was proven horribly wrong. The case worsens even more if you are running a custom ROM. So loads of searching and trying all available camera apps on the play store I finally got a solution. I want to share it.
First you will have to download this app 'Cinema FV-5'.
The link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.cinema.lite&hl=de
This is the lite version. Try it, if you like buy it! (This is not my app by the way, just sharing).
1. Open the app, go to settings. In 'General camcorder settings', uncheck 'focus before capturing', and check 'allow capturing videos without focus', this is necessary for continuous focus during recording.
2. In 'Video' tab, check custom video settings, change the video resolution to 1280x720 16:9, change the FPS to 24 and leave everything else as it is, don't change.
3. On the same page 'Video', touch 'set image parameters', you will now be on viewfinder screen. There decrease sharpness to 0 and hit done.
4. Touch the [AF] icon and change the focus mode to continuous like in the image. And you are done!
You won't believe how much difference it makes even compared to stock Lenovo camera. While the stock Lenovo camera makes jarring and VGA quality videos, this app with these of my settings records much much better videos!
For photos -
For photos, you can use the sibling app 'Camera FV-5', go to settings > photo encoding settings > set image parameters and decrease sharpness to 0.

updated OP. Thanks you liked the trick! Sad that many people only view this thread. I hope they try it. I really want to take out the only shortcoming this phone has!!
I test today this program. The colors are more quality but I did not like focus. Some inscriptions I can't read with this program ,but when I use original is more better.

Did you follow every step mentioned by me? It should give you better results than stock camera any day!! At least on a custom ROM! But I believe it will work just as good on stock rom too cause the video recording in stock rom with stock Camera app pretty much sucks!! By no means it looks 720p 'HD', it feels like VGA at 15fps recording. For better focus you need to pay attention to the first and last instruction in the OP. Have a good luck!

Not sure what's the purpose of posting it here since half of the functions are not working. I guess before it posted it you could have at least tested it and amended the description of what's working and what's not - most of the functions work only on Nexus devices.

I guess you must be illiterate bc it says right in the op that I tested it and confirmed it working in the op w/ oss b8... But that's not all... I can now confirm that EVERY FEATURE available in this APK also works with Phoenix AEX on my device. So I either have a better OP3T then you..... or something is wrong with yours..
If I had guess it's an id ten t error.

Everything is OK for me too. Also with Phoenix AEX.
Only HDR+ is missing, but it is a nexus/pixel exclusive feature.
just install open camera and enable camera2 api from menu
best fully free camera app

Buy one of the devices mentioned above ... Or develop it somehow to work on your device. I am not a developer or someone trying to "fake" knowing enough to answer that question for you. I honestly like the Google camera app and provided a link for others who feel as I do... I mentioned in the OP that I can only confirm personal experiences... I specifically wrote that because I cannot support things I do know understand myself. I'm sorry if that came off harsh.. but it's just brutal honesty.

If that was ported apk then I would understand the need to post it but since this is just download from Android O you can get this from 100s of other websites. So taking it from ApkMirror and posting it here makes no sense since nothing was done with the app. If you show me how well HDR+, Smartburst and 120fps work on your totally different Oneplus3t you would be the first with these features working. When you say that EVERY FEATURE is available think twice before posting.

Or you can do the test of MotoCamera_V6.0.62.1 or as I specify it is a fix for Google Camera.
Any way to get real 1080p 60fps..
Thanks!
Works Great! Thx for sharing bro
Moderator Warning,
Thread cleaned. Flaming other users is not acceptable. If you have an issue with a post, don't reply, but report it and move on.
Wow, i like the stabilization it gives on video ... Very nice indeed
First of all, I didn't make this port just found it here, so I just wanted to share it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73295122&postcount=10
Things are I confirm that are working:
-Shot on OnePlus watermark
-OIS in 720p, 1080p (not with EIS tough)
-Manual mode with the histogram (Max ISO 800 only)
-4k recording in front facing camera (MX Player, and gallery shows it's 4k, but I can't test it if looks any better than 1080p)
-Panorama, Timelapse(?)
Things that are not working:
-HQ looks the same as normal mode (Still max ISO is 800)
-No 1080p60 option
-No HDR option
-Slow motion records only in 30fps
Install it as a normal apk. Tested on Oxygen OS Ob11

why would anyone install this? considering it has less features than the stock oneplus 3t camera app

Because it has a feature that I and some people really needed: OIS for 1080p,720p, not only for 4k and 1080p60, and it won't replace your stock camera app, so you can use the stock camera app if you want something else.

When installing this "port", it basically kills postprocessing on the stock camera app until you deinstall it and reboot your device.
See for yourself. Not only does it not improve the camera quality, it also deteriorates the stock camera quality.

Hello, i just want to say that the latest Google Camera 4.3 by Urnyx05 works amazing! It has much better results than stock camera. Pictures taken with Google Camera have much better dynamic range, more details & more natural color representation. Night photos have much more light, thanks to Night Sight mode & optical image stabilization. It has more noise which can't be easily seen until you zoom in. Sometimes white balance can be a bit off depending of the scene, but all in all, much better experience than stock camera. Selfie camera, pretty much the same experience as back camera, much better.
Video quality is not that different, maybe little better because you can set bitrate up to 100mbit vs (40mbit on stock camera) which works, i verified it in MX Player video info.
You need Android 9.0+ custom rom if you want to use Google Camera.
Everything works well. Only bug it has is front camera video & fast motion not working.
Settings: HDR+ Enhanced, Nexus 3 AWB on, 25 HDR Frames capture, 16:9, Full resolution capture. I disable face retouching for selfie camera.

Some minor issues with opening photos on gcam app (but work in gallery app).
Video quality the same (as I saw). But photos like pixel (I have pixel 3a xl).
