From What I Understand Its A Photosharing Application It Has Numerous Filters It's A Pretty Neat Little App It's Supposed To Come To Android But.. As Always Taking Forever.

Hipster is similar, although not as good as instagram.

Lightbox, comes with its own camera app too.

Streamzoo
Streamzoo is a great one.

instagram is cool!! hope it comes out soon for us!

I use Flickr. Been using it for a long time. The official app is great too, comes with many filters.

In my opinion, 'Magic Hour' beats out Hipstamatic/Instagram. You can make your own custom filters, but the best part is that it comes with a 'filter market'. Other users upload their custom filters and you can download them, all for free. It's amazing.

I use lightbox, the built-in filters are pretty cool and it's community is growing

If you do a little research on google... the android instagram app is currently in development, and has been for a few months. Dont know what takes so long...

Not To Sound Like An Ass:
But I Did Look Around And I Also Stated That It's Supposed To Come Out For Android In Post Number 3

From what I understand, Instagram is actually the combination of an app providing photo filters like lomography cameras, AND a "kind of" social / sharing network to post and share his pictures.
I guess if you're interested in sharing picture, flickr or picasa can do the job, while for photo effects you can use many apps like paper camera, fx camera and nulmerous others...

It's Just Crazy I Feel Like Everyone I Know Has An iOS Device Then Everyone Seems To Share Picture Through There.

That's what I use

I use Lightbox as well

You should definitely give EyeEm a try.

[Port] Sense 6 Camera

Im not one for fancy OP so lest cut to the chase. I have been working on this on and off for some time now and i am at a point i feel i can call it ALPHA. This should only be flashed on KK or L GPE or pure AOSP. CM will have to be done differently they did some strange things to HW keys that makes camera not work at all.
Screenshots available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56752405&postcount=1
What works?
Camera
Pan360
Split Capture
PhotoBooth
Selfie
Photo preview
HTC gallery
What needs some work?
Zoe camera wont open. ( if you choose Zoe options you will need to go to settings > apps > Camera and clear data to make it stop)
Camcorder (rotates the video when saving and cause the video to glitch)
Please have a valid Nandroid in case you want to go back. At a later date i can make an uninstall zip.
Special thanks to:
HTC
Google
Neo he pointed out that gallery was update to work without the security check.
Team Ecliptic for pushing me to get this working.

If you would like to use this work and continue on, be my guest. No need to ask for permissions. All i ask is that when you do use it, just give me a shout out.

i cleaned up the zip and packaged gallery with the camera. it also comes with Zoe the social network. if people dont want it i can remove.

Looks like there will be a tiny issue with L vs KK. Im going to need to set up a zip for both until HTC updates Camera to API19

I havent found any bugs myself. Well one. Not able to open gallery from camera app

I tried this a few times but still wont open through camera. It starts to then just goes back to camera

@synisterwolf ... When recording video it only records in mms resolution from main camera. Not 1080p like it should.

When I had my HTC the only thing that kept me o 4.0 was the camera..this is a dream come true
Please if you canfind a way to make it work on cm12

Thank you very much man!! I'm on cm12 on HTC One S and it work! But I have only pan 360 , portrait and cam. Why?

Please don't tell me you'll drop this project :'(

Third Party Camera Apps for Z5C

The general consensus for this phone seems to be that it sports top-of-the-range photographic hardware but is sadly let down by poor software support and Sony's aggressive noise-reduction algorithms. As this is a software issue, it may be possible that enhanced image quality could be obtained using third party apps. So far I have noticed some differences between apps and thought we could maintain a list of some of the best here:
- Camera FV-5 Supports 23MP but seems a little unstable on the Z5C with FC issues on some camera features
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro&hl=en_GB
- A Better Camera: 23MP support plus "DRO - Dynamic Range optimization"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.almalence.opencam
- HTC Camera: 23 MP support
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-co...-camera-new-8-10-748210-android-apk-download/
- ICS+ 1.7: full resolution supported
https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&s...Ts4WT4m0RHMx-2a1Q&sig2=A-U3oWedOs0SxvoUmzIwHg
- Cyanogenmod camera: Third party supporting full resolution on Z5 Compact. Slightly buggy on our phones but shows that it can be done! *edit - not working on MM
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/cyanog...a-2-0-005-04864afef4-00-android-apk-download/
- Camera Super Pixel: Takes burst photos can combines them into higher than native resolutions composites. On the Z5C camera it can achieve 32MP rear camera and 20 MP front camera!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...9mp-camera-t3322562/post65509846#post65509846
Please post any apps you find with enhanced functionality over Xperia stock

Here is my test of the Super Pixel Camera - definite improvement over stock front camera, although still getting thrashed by Sony post-edits:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByO19bEKY9TKZ2tWSTY1SzV3M1k
(5MP Stock Xxperia camera on the right, 20MP Super Pixel Camera on the left)
Sorry about the horrible "selphy" photo but the difference was most noticeable on the rear camera!

looks good, but i cant install the app from the market.

The apk is attached in the Op of that thread.
BTW this app makes way better photos. But really only flattens the image, doesn't really get higher detail. I'll take it over my textured and fuzzy stock camera though!

Hi, I'm one of the developers of the app. New version is compatible with Sony Xperia Z5:
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anforapps.camerasuperpixel
Thanks for all the feedback!
What's new:
0.9.2
Fixed autofocus issue (better focused rear camera pics)
Compatible with OnePlus 2
Compatible with Sony Xperia Z5

Yeah same for me - sideloading the apk works fine but can't get it from the market on Z5C

Hi, thanks for testing. Not sure why it is not available on your devices, maybe some problem on Google Play.
I have attached is a screenshot of the Sony devices supported on my Google Play Developer Console, maybe some model is missing...

I'm sure it's something to do with the servers not updating yet. I see were checked off in the right spots for the compact! Thanks for the app BTW, it's nice!

Thanks for the info. Some users reported that "Camera Super Pixel" app does not start correctly after the Android 6.0 update on Sony Xperia Z5. We are working to find the problem as soon as possible.

Ah ok, thanks for the information

Balls, cheers for the heads up - I'll change the OP

I'm currently playing with open camera with API 2.0. So far it works but i haven't really compared to stock yet. I have noticed the camera button, the first press for focus causes a never ending focus loop... But tapping the screen works fine.

I had used "A Better Camera" with my previous phone for a while. It can perform "Dynamic Range Optimization" automatically after each photo is taken. The night mode is pretty good as well.
Ofcourse the issue is that Sony has not provided a FULL camera2 api implementation so you are limited. I sometimes still use ABC, when I'm taking a still, however it is quite slow compared to the native app with just starting and taking photos.

I use Cameringo+. I guess it was the best I've used with Z1 Compact and it kinda stayed with me. Truth is that the Z5 Compact camera is much much better. So I don't think I need live filters anymore.

So Is there way to remove the blocking of full camera resolution on z5c for 3th party apps?

CAMERA FIX!! no focus or flash issue what so ever; With this camera apk

HI everybody,
K this camera apk was pulled from the MIUI rom port while doing extensive testing of the rom it's self just to see how the rom did. While doing this I noted with the camera all issues we have on the cm and nexus based roms are non existent on the MIUI camera, but the camera does have issues.
1. It has two issues one when it takes a photo's with the rear facing camera it saves it upside down for some reason
2. second issue i found is when you go to the front facing camera it glitches in the transition and you half to close it out and restart and then it'll be on the front facing camera and you half to do the same to get back to the rear facing camera NOTE: the front facing camera does not flip the image
Now initially I thought this might of been the miui rom its self so I grabbed the camera apk and jumped to the Nexus rom and IT WORKS. I currently use this camera as my daily driver despite its issues and even though I have purchased the Snap Camera, I just prefer the MIUI camera...
I would note I ran a search on the camera apk files name and found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/development/mod-oppocamera-settings-timer-scene-t3003030 I tried the zips they have and they don't seem to work on our phone.
Also I did not know who to credit for this. I'm sorry for that; if some one know's who pm me or comment. Thanks

personally i find 'BlueCam' delivers better photos than the MIUI, the only features that don't work is manual focus but the auto focus does a fine job and it has torch mode to take care of night photos which gets over the flash problem, its also free on the app store.

true that, I'm thinking it should be very possible for an app to utilize an existing camera app to take the picture and then parse it, if background elements are an issue a crop tool can be built it. I'll look into it after this coming week and see if i can come up with something. Won't be perfect but it'll be better than nothing

Regarding barcode scanning... it is not as seemless as barcode scanner or google goggles, but I had good success with QR droid which can use an existing picture to read a barcode.

That's what I'm getting at, if its possible to read from an image then it should be possible to have your camera take a snap shot, save it has an ordinary image and then have an app interpret it. At least in theory, I don't know how feasable it is yet

I use this camera app from f-droid app store its free and open source and also works well with flash
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=camera&fdid=com.simplemobiletools.camera
Tried it with latest lineage os by ggow. Focus is fast and pictures are coming up great. There is no manual controls but this app is better than stock or Google camera app in my opinion anyway. Camera button also works to activate this app and to take snaps with. Developer also has gallery app in f-droid if you want to give it a spin.

The camera from F-droid is very limited and it does not work with flash. It works in a sense that flash can be permanently turned on and used as a light. The oppo camera however seems to work correctly. The only problem I encountered is switching between front and rear camera. Seems like usable camera to use when you need flash support. Otherwise open camera app is good and full featured app.

I find oppo camera good but pictures for not known reason turn out upside down - I really don't fancy switching them back manually.
Another good app is camera HDR. As mentioned in CyanogenMod description it just work well.

thanks. really nice. flash light photos works fine.

Alternative to Google Photos?

Not a big fan of Google photos app. And I really miss the old AOSP gallery app. Seen a few apks on XDA, but none seem to have a functional photo editor. Anybody else in the same boat? Would love to hear some ideas.

I've been trying Piktures. Pretty nice so far. Has an combined photo mode for people who like that all in one photo gallery like iPhones, and can also swipe to get to individual folders like all other androids. Also has a hidden photo feature for those who need to creep, lol.

I'm not sure what you're looking for when you say a functional photo editor, but I use Focus as an alternative to photos.

What I meant is that there are some apks floating around XDA for AOSP gallery app (on older Android versions) and when you try and edit a photo with it, the app crashes. I'll check out your suggestion

Following. I hate the Photos app. I use Dropbox and have my camera uploads go there. I don't need cloud storage, and the interface is poor imo. I use Snapseed to edit photos right now, but would like a gallery app that has simple functions (crop, basic color and brightness changes, etc.).

I keep wanting to like it, but it's just so busy looking. I wish there were a more simplified version.

I've always been a fan of Motorola gallery. I usually just save an apk in my Google drive and install it when I root/get a new phone. Only crappy Part is after you take a picture and click the thumbnail while still in the camera app, it default opens in Google photos.

I love the Photos app. The built in editor is pretty good and you can't beat the unlimited cloud storage. With that said, my second fave gallery app is QuickPic.

Google Photos has been my go to for a long time and does well everything I need.

Only thing I don't like about Photos is easily organising the photos. I have say my "Instagram" (device folder), backup to Photos. However then I have to create an album called "Instagram" and sort through the huge list of pictures to move them to their respective folders.
