I've been looking for a better camera app.
By "better", I am referring to faster/quality. Not instagram and other image manipulation nonsense.
I am also aware that we are limited by hardware, but still there must be something better.
Has anyone found a suitable contender?

Is there any way to improve the quality of the camera? It is almost useless. Rooting or something?

The best camera, IMHO, is LG Camera Pro.
Better Camera App
I am using super app LGcamera (there is free version too) and there is available to set these things:
video bitrate (default is 15MBps) i use 20MBps
audio quality is better (FULL HD VIDEO) 96kbps, mono, 48000HZ
you can change your save destination
take a photo while recording a movie
....and more
Hey guys
thanks for the opinion!
I've tried for a while jb+ and I enjoyed it more than the stock one (was faster and minimal UI). I did not enjoy however the way you change settings, it seemed awkward. Also the video recorder does no support 1080. Another thing was the lighting setting, auto mode was rubbish and I had to manually select lighting for each photo.
Starting today, I'll be trying LGcamera.
So far, I'm impressed. It really feels solid and works good.
Video supports 1080 and takes photos at 5MP(stock takes photos at 2MP, I believe)
Focus seems better to.
I'd like to ask you guys:
What settings to you use? (focus, photo mode, light)
Also for video
Thanks!
I'm a fan of the stock Nexus camera app and purchased Camera JB+....works for me.

I see no point in recording in 1080p.....just my humble opinion. 720p works for me too.

Does anyone else camera, except LG Camera Pro, which records video in 1080?

Those options have terrible video framerates.
CameraJB+, LGCamera, Camera FV-5, give me bad framerates in video. I'm not sure if there's a fix or something but in darker areas like indoors, the exposure doesn't fix so the framerates dip into the single digits. The only thing I want is just timestamped filenames. Is there a modified Stock possibly?

Hey, I see what you mean and I think I can help you.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Get root access to your device (there're plenty of ways)
2. Unzip the attached archive and replace your device's media_profiles.xml with the one from the archive.
To do that, use Root Explorer app and go to /etc. Copy new media profiles and confirm the replacement. Then, don't forget to set the permissions of the new one to rw-r--r--.
3. Restart your device.
Now you have better sound quality in stock app (48000 kHz, 160 kbps) and you have better fps compatibility.
There're several apps for you to use:
a) For better quality and control, you can use FV-5 Cinema app. You should get fixed 30 fps under default settings.
b) As for LGCamera (the one with the older interface, version number around 5.4), you should set fps to 25 and you will get a stable 25 fps, regardless of the lighting.
c) However, if you are using the newer LGCamera (version 7), you'll have to go for a little trick:
Launch the app, and set the fps to 30. Now, go to Setting tab (the last one), select "Edit camera script" and add the following after the existing lines:
preview-fps-range=30000,30000
Now, restart LGCamera app, and you will have stable 30fps performance.
So, there're 3 options for you, choose whichever you like
P.S. I have P765 with the stock firmware from P760, version 20p.
Thanks but

That trick unfortunately didn't make a difference.. All third party apps are still agonizingly laggy. Thanks though, it was worth the shot.
Hi, I' am using CM 13, where default camera app is not quite good, so I decided to flash other brand stock cameras apps, but that doesn't work well (crashing ..) can this work, or is better to use some widely available cameras like OpenCamera from GP? Does anybody know about some clear without ads or in app purchases?
Hi,
I recommend you to use camera apps from Play Store, like Google Camera, OpenCamera, Camera360, or Cameringo, and many others.

Hello
I have no issue recording at 1080p 60fps with the honor default camera app, but when I switch to Filmic Pro or Open Camera, I cannot record over 30 fps. Do you know why there is a limitation ?
On filmic pro, I can't even enable stabilization at 1080p25 or 30 fps. It is available on the default app.

Have you tried speaking to the vendors of said apps?
Whilst the default might have no limitations, it's possible the other apps do have.
Just because a camera can do things, doesn't necessarily mean that an app will support all of those things, if you catch my drift.
Hello
Yes I catch your drift. It is such a pity that theses apps do not support these settings on Android phone, but support fully all the Iphones.

You can always get in touch with the software developers and ask them if they plan to support these features for Android.
Some developers are quite good (as you know from being on XDA!) at giving feedback and answering questions like that.
after the 9.0 update video stabilization doesn't work anymore on the mate 10 pro, they completely removed it. no way to enable it. why?
It is already activated by default, only in 4k and 1080p 60fps is not activated

i tried it, and it did work, but it just seems stupid that i have to use google camera instead of the default one. i'm not sure what i can do. i already tried resetting the huawei camera app but still nothing.
does anyone else have this problem or is it just me? it works just fine with google camera.

Hi!
Unfortunately final quality is bad - the video floats and very much visible convex jelly-effect.
Tried so many app for video-shot and all of them hoot video almost the same as a stock camera.
Relatively good filming video(with EIS) the Open Camera app, but only at daylight and at FHD 30 fps only.
Looking for some other camera app...
I have a big problem on my pocophone, when i recording in 4k 60fps my câmera app closes beacause my phone is overheating, i cant record more than 1 minute, i can disable this? Or convert the camera app to a user app? Only system apps have this problem, i tried to convert to a user app but i have a problem with mount system, i tried to download titanium backup but the app not works more, anyone can help me? (Sorry for my bad english, i'm from brazil)
Can't you use Open Camera, or lower the resolution of your integrated camera app?
I don't have a Pocophone, so not sure how to navigate the settings.

What is open camera? Yes i can lower the resolution but if a need to record in 4k 60 fps the app closes itself, i want to disable this overheating protection or change the app to user app, in games my phone is much more heat but it's safe

At it's runtime it doesn't matter whether an app is a system app or an user app: both use the hardware resources ( RAM, CPU, GPU ) as needed in same way to successfully run.
Only difference between a system app and an user app is that a system app can get rolled back to it's initial version in case it got updated: that's not possible with an user app.
Ii's absolutely common that when you use your phone’s camera for longer time that your phone is heated up. This generally happens when you shoot high quality for recording videos as this increases temperature. Therefore, you should reduce the footage quality and try to record short videos to reduce the temperature that increases while using.
