lgcamera - Android app that can be installed from Market. It offers the possibility to take video recordings with customized options. This app works on Wildfire (tested on nightly CM7) and if messing around with the app settings a bit, it can take videos of a higher quality then the default camera app.
This thread has the aim to inform you about this wonderful app and to encourage you to test and post here your settings/configurations.
Thank you.
Ok downloaded it now installing...Testing later reply tomorrow
EDIT: Ok well first impressions: yay no border .

I use Vignette, it works great, it does photos and video all from a full screen with no borders. I love it. Give it a try lads!

lgcamera surely can take better video recordings than default CM7 Camera app. (i specified it has been tested on CM7 nightly)
I'm aware that you were talking about cm7. Maybe the quality is better, but its still bad enough that I won't use it anyway (my fifth gen ipod nano comes handy here )
So I merely said that its of no use to me. (I find vignette far superior, although it lacks video recording)
this app is great for photo shooting but the zoom don't work on my phone
Could someone help me make informative choice? It looks like cm 7.03 is the best as of now (2 weeks of forum reading ).
Please confirm some questions about cm 7.03 ?
Do both speakers work correct and support stereo as original build?
Does light sensor worked appropriately?
Does camera work?
Volume and soft home buttons fully supported?
G sensor fully supported?
Does anyone tried Skype videocall / voice call? Doest work?
Does YouTube works well?
I know about HD decoding issue but what it means for video playback? Does it play 1080p? Does it playback 720p? Max video file size? Does it play video files at all?
camera is pixelated

Everything you mention above is fine EXCEPT video/picture taking. You can take pictures with the "camera fun free", and video is okay with Oovoo and Yahoo (Skype doesn't support video, and probably never will now that M$ bought it).
They above "work", but are always rotated 90%. ALWAYS. I tried some fixes (sensor fix, etc), but nothing worked (or it broke something else). Since the girlfriend needs this tablet for her trip to Europe (so she can call home), I settled (after MANY roms) on Calkulin's G-Tab v1.1 and pershoot's latest kernel. I have usable video and picture taking abilities, and it's damn snappy. Sure it's no CM (I have it on my G1 and Nook Color and love it!), but for someone who needs things just to work, that's the best bet.

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.

You are the best my friend.works great.
Have a nice day or night...i dont know where you are....ha ha ha.
I tried a couple of Gcam ports and found that while I could take photos fine, the screen is blank when I attempt to record videos.
Is there a port that works correctly?
On a side note, how does one turn off beautification in the stock camera app?
Edit: PX8.1 by Urnyx05 seems to work.

video audio not working
You must restart the phone after installation. Then the sound works.
I found and set the functional camera to select the lens.
Gcam7.3.018_Greatness.Build2.3.apk (camera)
main[1].xml (my config file)
1) Install the camera. Uninstall the previous GCAM if you cannot install.
2) Start the camera and go to the settings. Config>Save>"a" (SAVE).
3) File main[1].xml copy to /sdcard/gcam/Configs7/
4) Start the camera, double-click this place (photo below) select main file>RESTORE
You get the settings, Wide, Main, Macro lens.
Video works only in normal mode. Slow doesn't work.
EDIT: Only the video recording with sound does not work here due to a current kernel custom rom bug.

Awesome, just got this on mine and can confirm it works on nezuko rom, if anyone is curious. Thanks man.
If you have the latest version of Vendor from Miui, slow video will work.
So everything will work in this GCAM!
also works on dotOS 5.0.1 with microG (no Google Play Services & Play Store).
The problem with video recording must be caused by the phone's sleep mode.
Maybe it turns off some codec that takes care of merging image and audio.
Certainly not a problem during the recording process.
The problem definitely arises at the moment of merging the two recorded tracks.
Some cameras will shut down at this point, other cameras save the video with the tracks behind (only the sound is played and only after that the image is played), other cameras save only the image itself.

This could be it. But, I am still hoping this is fixed in next update. I record at least once a month or two so this is going be annoying even for me soon enough.

Do you know which config file to use for all 3 lenses (wide/main/macro)?
No idea but seems to work with all 3 cameras out the box, the 1x, 1.4x, 1.8x options switch between the lenses. Not sure how to make config files but trying to do things like record time lapse videos on the 1.8x option will crash the app.

Can I get a gcam mod with astrophotography working for realme 3.
I tried many gcam mods but in none of them astrophotography is working. Realme 3 is having mediatek Helio p60.
Can anyone suggest astrophotography working version

How is astrophotography not working? For me it automatically turns on under night camera when the conditions are right.

Unfortunately, we didn't get anywhere. Nothing changes with this camera. Still, the video only works after restarting the phone, after a while the audio recording doesn't work.
Before anyone reports a working Gcam again, please verify that the camera can still record video and audio after using the phone for a while.
Hello guys, what is the best GCam port for the Motorola Edge 40 Pro? If there is one, where can I download it? Thank you in advance
FYI I tested a lot of GCams 8.8.224 (the latest version as of now) and the only cam that doesn't crash is the Shamim SGCAM_8.8.224.10_STABLE_V9FIX. I will keep it becauseyesterday I was at a live concert and the stock camera microphone is a total mess (every video that I made has the audio extremely distorted, while the instagram camera doesn't have this problem, but the video are ****ty).
There are a few problems tho:
1- it is extremely slow when you click every button
2- without touching any settings, pictures and videos are worst than the stock camera
Let me know if that version works for you, and if so, which setting do you use to improve the camera quality!

Tried what you recommended but that gcam had too many problem. 4k 60fps recording just hangs never actually enabling. I'm satisfied with the camera, just wasn't happy with the speed it takes photos.

Have you tried to record a concert with the stock camera? You would get a super distorted audio (with every other camera app i don't have this problem). For now I keep it just to record live concert, but I know it has a lot of problems unfortunately

I don't go to concerts lol. Everything I've filmed has been fine on my end audio wise, I work in a relatively loud environment and the mic holds up about as well as any other phone.
