OnePlus Camera App Complete Overview With Basic Manual Mode Overview - OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Themes, Apps & Mods

First of all only those with a OnePlus 2 / X / 3 / 3T / 5 on Oxygen OS ( or if you are using an OOS camera port on a custom ROM ) could actually benefit from this.
If you don't have the OnePlus Camera app then you could download the latest version of the app from app mirror.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/oneplus-ltd/oneplus-camera/
( Version 2 of the app can only be used by OnePlus 5 owners and all the versions in between and including 1 to 1.5 can be used by OnePlus 3/3T owners. )
( If you are using a OnePlus 3/3T and want to use the OnePlus 5 camera app which has better ui but has some things broken(slow mo, auto HDR) can use the app from this thread : 1
So there will be two parts of this overview, in the first one I'll show you how to navigate basic things in the app itself along with the video stabilization capability it offers and what everything it shows means and in the second part I'll give you a basic overview of the the pro/manual mode this app offers.
[ The overview(s) will be in the form of video as it would easier for me to explain and much easier for others who are watching to understand. ]
PART 1
One thing that is commendable about this app is that it offers all the basic things in a non cluttered manner which makes it easier to use and navigate.
PART 2
If you are the kind of person who knows nothing or very little about manual mode then watch this but if you are the kind of person who knows everything basic I'll suggest you to give this thread a read : 2

So guys if you still weren't able to understand something related to this topic, let me know I'll try my best to help you understand that thing better.
Btw if you are a kind of person who likes to try different apps, camera apps in this case then I'll suggest you to try these apps which according to myself are the best( All of them can be downloaded from the play store. )
Free Apps: Bacon Camera, Footej.
Paid Apps: Camera FV5 Pro, Cinema FV5 Pro.

Just an FYI, The latest version of the Oneplus Camera app seems to force close on the Oneplus 3/3T (for me at least, LOS 16)
I've tested a various older versions, and based on my experience:
Recommended version: 'OnePlus Camera 3.0.37'.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/oneplus-ltd/oneplus-camera/oneplus-camera-3-0-37-release/
Working:
+Photos
+Pro mode
+Panorama
+Settings/switching modes.
+Video
Known issues:
-Trying to use 'Slow-motion' will lockup the camera. (Can be fixed with a force close)
And it looks like the newest 'mostly working' version is "3.8.13 "
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/oneplus-ltd/oneplus-camera/oneplus-camera-3-8-13-release/
Works:
+Photos
+Pro mode
+Panorama
+Settings/switching modes.
Not working: (...for me at least, Give it a try if you want)
-Video (broken on 3.2.X and up)
------
Many other versions [Example: ones between 3.0.37 and 3.8.13] gave me various issues, such as breaking auto-rotate, not saving images at times, random crashes, etc.
So these are the only two newer versions I'd recommend.

Sorry, I did not test for that,
I already spent waay to much time test for pro mode, and basic video function.
I'd say start with versions before 3.0.37, test every 4th update or so (to save time),
once you find a version with working slowmo test the 3 later versions to see when it broke.

[New] Google Camera [ Everything Working ]

Couple days ago a new port for Google Camera was released with support for a few devices which include the OnePlus 3/3T and the OnePlus 5.
With this update a lot has changed, like support for Camera HDR+ with RAW support, full HDR+ customisation. But this for everything to work properly you need to tweak the developer setting in the app settings so that everything could work as expected. After trying tens of combination I got almost everything working as it was supposed to and also a few extra things (^^). Like hdr+ with zsl, smart burst, raw, 60fps video recording, slow motion etc.
Here's a video showing everything you need to do step by step :
NOTE : FOR SLOW MOTION TO WORK YOU NEED TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE WITH MAGISK AND INSTALL A MODULE.
SOURCE : https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-customization-raw-support/
DOWNLOAD LINK : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617934890
To significantly reduce the processing(capture time for her+) time you could set the buffer time to either 1 or 3 and restart the app. But the application crashes more if you do so.
.
.
.
UPDATE 1:
Best config for the new version 4.0 app.
.
.
.
UPDATE 2:
Hey guys use this new apk of the port, no setup of config needed and works great but no burst mode or raw capture.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/op3/GC_5.0.009.apk
Latest version 4.0 https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1DScczKlbZHeHl2VlVwODM3emM

A quick question. Can you remember which of the settings got the video stabilisation working. On the Rom I'm running I can't see to get it to work. No dramas if you can't remember. Totally understand.

First off thank you but I didn't do any of the hard work, all the hard work went to porting which I didn't do I just found a working configuration.
Check the ss and see if everything is similar to what I have after that video eis should work if still it doesn't then clear app data and try again.
This camera works great on LOS15, wish there was a full manual mode.

Mi A3 stock camera port? Really needed

"I have been using the pixel experience for quite some time, really miss the stock camera as nothing works perfectly as of now!
Can someone provide stock camera port (or APK) for custom roms in Mi A3?
Any help will be appreciated, thank you! "
__________________________________________________________
So with the release of the incomplete android 10 for miA3 (although rolled back, someone still might be having the fast boot rom), all of us now have the stock camera app (android 10 supported) that can be ported for any other rom, (the pro mode does not work but, we have everything else working and we can leave the pro work to the pros (i.e Google camera) ).
So if anyone succeeds in doing so, ported stock camera app will be a gift for mi A3 users. although google camera is unbeatable, but it is also very unstable and i cant rely on it for daily use! (for this phone) and ANX lacks portrait mode and slo-mo
Totally agrre I am also a very happy user of Pixel experience (great rom) but I also would like to install the original stock camera of the Mi A3 because of the ultrawide lens.

Just installing the app from Stock OS will not work; however you may try ANXCamera, it's a Magisk Module that installs MiUI camera on any OS, support of all features not guaranteed.
Available at the link below:
https://camera.aeonax.com/
It's possible to use GCam if you want to use ultrawide without MiUI camera; for that GCam must be installed into /system/priv-app or you have to change SELinux to Permissive, I recommend to set to Enforcing right after using the camera, it's more secure. You must use a compatible GCam, one that includes aux camera patches, you can find them in Xcam, Fu24's port and several more.

Thanks a lot man!, will flash when i get back, gives me a lot of hope!.
also, ultrawide on GCam is very buggy and has a lot of noise! very bad compared to the stock, also very slow in terms of post processing.
also i can't seem to find the thanks button that adds to your "thanks meter" (not used to XDA forums)

XP I mark II doesn't support fully camera 2 API ?
Xp 1 mk 2 *does* support the camera 2 API according to the the various tools like gcaminator etc
However the issue here seems to be different, currently the modded APKs available crash on startup as they have not been optimised or built specifically for for this phone.
It maybe the snapdragon 865 chipset or something else in the the Sony build.
Does anyone know if there are any developers porting the app to the phone? LG has a pretty strong user base and even they have a working port too. I was wondering if anyone else knows of other Devs that porting over GCam as a project

How about gcam by Tigr, also ported to multiple devices including MTK (latest is V7 Final) https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-tigr/
If this gcam also crashes, best thing we can do is hope and wait until @Arnova8G2 gets the gcam 7.4 camera working.

Good to hear that.
This week the 1 II will be released in the US and as soon as next week there will be 1st major firmware upgrade that brings an upgraded camera refinement and RAW to Photo Pro. I think more people will pick up 1 II after this and with more increasing users hopefully, that can spark interests in developers.

Oh nice, how do you know about this upcoming firmware upgrades? Exciting to hear!
Hello I have Sony xperia 1 II, I would like to become a GCam tester. Sony have nice night photo but it is not perfect you can see the lens after editing and the raw cannot be saved. You must use an external application for raw but external applications offer max 1 second of exposure. Tried many apps only version 5 works and it stuttered terribly didn't work well sony app works better.
The only gcam that didn't crash for me until I got camera privileges was "PXv4.3_GoogleCamera_7.2.014.apk".
Who can send me apk for testing from aronova?

Well Sony released the new firmware update which brings RAW to all 3 camera in Photo Pro.
As for being gcam tester, currently there's no official development community group. Best is wait for arnova gcam first, to get the working version.

How do I install the stock OOS camera app on LineageOS 18.1?

Hi,
I use LineageOS 18.1 and a GCam mod for a camera app. It takes great pictures, however, it lacks support for some features, like 48MP images and (good) macro.
I wanted to install this APK, but as the note says, "Sideloading this APK may not work, so you may need root to install. "
Can someone tell me the steps to install it?
Just install it as a normal apk and see if it works.
Or, extract the apk from the stock rom

I don't know how to do that. Plus, getting the original OOS cam to work on a custom rom seems to be a pretty big problem, as read in this thread. I guess it hasn't been successfully ported to LOS yet. This is a pretty big issue for me as well, as I am a heavy camera user and really don't want to go back to OOS.
IMO that rom is useless without a proper camera app
There has been a previous thread on this topic, in that thread, a user mentions that havoc os has OOS' camera built in. Havoc os is a highly customisable, fast os, usually just as fast as lineage. However, no one has ported havoc for the oneplus 8 pro, its currently available for the 8t. Maybe make a new thread requesting for havoc os with OOS cam, or any rom with OOS cam, as it has been proven possible by havoc os.

Well, I certainly wouldn't call it useless, I like LOS very much, but the lack of a proper camera (meaning, one that supports all the modes that the original OOS camera does) is really a bummer.

The first thread you linked is exactly the one I linked to. Yeah, I may post a request for OOS camera to be ported to LOS - where do I do that? The "OnePlus 8 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods" forum?
Thanks for the second link. So far I've tried the stock LOS camera, which is pretty good, but no 48MP, macro and RAW support, OpenCamera and 5-6 versions of GCam. GCam is probably the best, but it too lacks good macro and 48MP.

I may have jumped the gun on calling it useless. But a major oversight and deal breaker for me.
just install a third party camera app, which has the features you need (e.g. from play store)
Based on my experience of building ROMs from source, OOS camera support has to be baked in by the dev. It's covered in the jaguar ROM thread as well. There are OP specific libraries needed to support it.

You are right. AICP and CRDroid also have the stock camera but no 48mp. Even Oneplus themselves had problems with 48mp on the earlier roms for the 8 Pro.
