I use CM7 and I like everything about it except one thing - I miss HTC Camera / Camcorder.
What I miss in particular is touch-to-focus in both camera and camcorder. Does anyone know of a good camera app which has touch-to-focus in camcorder and same amount of options as CM7 camera has?
Thanks.

i faced the same issue. The stock HTC camera/camcorder combo is awesome.
I use vignette, little photo, pudding camera for photos and lgcamera for video
For camera i'd recommend using Camera360 ultimate...it has touch to focus n a lot lot more effect and customization than HTC Camera...For camcorder- I'm looking for a good replacement too..
Yeah Camera 360 is the best camera app, I've even bought the full version. I've also got Camera ZOOM FX.
But I really miss Sense camcorder and I'm thinking of flashing a Sense ROM (which I'm not crazy about)...
I will give lgCamera a shot.
EDIT: Wow, lgCamera is really nice, thanks guys! It has a lot of options and video quality is superb. ONLY thing it misses is touch-to-focus while recording, but I think I will be able to live without it, as I can quickly stop recording and refocus and record again. 720p 13Mbps + MPEG4 works like a charm

Hi guys. Which in your opinion is the best all round camera app for the Desire? The stock camera I have is ok but am sure there are apps out there which will improve the camera so am asking for your recommendations.
Many thanks
Anyone? lol
I've only really ever used the stock camera to be honest.
Camera360 is quite good in my opinion... Lots of options.
i've tried most of the Cam apps on the market ... and the Stock is the best and fastest.
Cheers for your help guys Will have a look at camera360 and give it a go.
I've tried a few camera apps, but stock Camera application on Froyo is the best and simpliest.
If you want better photos, try shot the picture without battery cover!

Don't bother unless you want cheap/crappy effects. Best thing you can do is to set up you desire camera properly. Just play with the sharpness, contrast etc settings. And for effects use something like pic pro or photoshop express.

My old post with setting. Fair bit of noise, but that's because lighting is far from adequate for desires sensor. You get nice and vivid colours in day time. Only thing, sharpness has to be +1, +2 is a bit too much.

I just pushed my lens cover out completely. Get a little bit of dust, but nothing that can't be sorted out with a good blow and wipe.
stick to the stock camera app! it's the best!
I use Camera360 and Vignette, both for pretty nice effects. I rarely use the stock camera, because even with the right settings (posted above) pictures still look a bit crappy to me.
I tried nearly all of the camera apps out of the market. The best one in my opinion is "Camera Advance". It has a user interface and settings like you find on the compact digital cameras and makes better pics than the stock one. It has a good autofocus function and a great preview after taking a picture.

As has already been mentioned, poke out the crappy plastic disc that makes all the pics blurry and use the stock app in good lighting.

The stock camera app. really is the best imo. If you want to add some post production effects then something like Camera360 will do the job.
I like lgCameraPro IMHO it is more usable.
Stock camera and use cameraFun.

lg camera if you want to record with better sound quality!
Hi Guys,
I know there are similar threads, BUT the ONE X does have a very special camera, and I was wondering if anybody has had any luck with any specific Camera Apps yet?
Here are a few that I've tried so far, but nothing too special to be honest:
1. Camera 360
2. Paper Camera
3. Stock Camera App
So far Camera 360 is probably the best, but I've heard good things about Camera FV-5 and Camera Zoom FX?
When you say camera 360 is probaly the best, in what way?
Lower compression would be great, but I wonder how much the imagesense chip will restrict this and can third party camera apps bypass this process. I have tried camera fv-5 and there does seem to be a little less compression, which allows for slightly more detail, also you can save in png, but there is no zoom function.
All third party apps bypass ImageSense. I love Camera360. Way less compression, and the available filters are pretty cool too, better than Instagram~
I use now Camera ICS.
This one can disable the compression (at least it says so) and indeed the files get much bigger (100% in jpeg mode instead of 90 or 95%)
And since it still is JPG, you still can use the EXIF info.
I tried some others, but they did miss options or did also compress or the lighting was worse, or .......
I've tried a lot of 3rd party camera apps and, honestly, I find the stock HTC app to be the best.
Camera FV-5 is very good though.
Camera360 was great until some background process started to overheat My HOX, and I uninstalled it..

Stock HTC app has the best UI, but the worst image quality.

Hmm, can't say I've ever had this problem.
You may find this of interest, I have done a quick comparison between these camera apps.
1. Camera 360
2. Camera ICS
3. Camera FV-5
4. HTC Camera
You may find the results surprising, please visit the following link to the HTC ONE Users Group at Flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/htc-one/discuss/72157629696073156/
Ive just been using stock ive had no problems with it
Stock is better than camera zoom fx, that thing may have bigger files but it is grainy in low light and over exposed everywhere else (unless you like that).
I can get better pictures using stock and the opening gallery and clicking that edit button.
If you click edit > effects then edit at the top you can manually edit all the filtering

The thing about the camera apps is that you can control exposure way more than you can with the stock app. If you were serious about taking pictures on the HOX, you'd be fiddling with every setting there is Stock camera definitely has the better metering, but I still believe that image quality wise, there's still way too much compression. I'll try to do a comparison some day.
Just looking for a replacement camera app with better overall performance
- as a bonus, an app that can take advantage of photosphere? Looks like 360panarama doesn't work on the N4. Also, ability to upload to google maps is a nice bonus to handle sharing photosphere without google+?
I'm gonna guess I am at Google's mercy with all things photosphere though.
I'm looking for one with a self timer. Don't care about photosphere...

Don't need to install that ROM? Just install the APK?
The default camera app struggle way too much with the auto focus and just cant get it right in the first trial. Therefore, I use Camera FX Zoom as mentioned by people above too. Its a great app. Has timer.. Burst mode.. and focuses extremely quick and accurate.

Its a known bug in N4's camera. N4 Auto focus complaints:

There are 28,660 pages filled with user complaining about auto focus.
They should have seriously fixed the camera auto focus and WiFi screen off in the Latest update. Who knows what went wrong with Google ...........

Hi,
I currently use this, Camera JB+: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tb2JseW54LmNhbWVyYWpicGx1cyJd
Simple, easy, looks like the stock camera app (with her own gallery), standard settings plus a bit more, perfect for my use...
2 reasons this thread has made my day
1. I'm not the only one with a focus bug using the stock camera pp
2. It introduced me to Camera Zoom FX, it's brilliant! (if you won't miss photosphere)

Here is the million dollar question though. Does it focus well with FLASH? Google really messed up with this damn camera. I swear up and down that the Nexus One had a better camera than this garbage they put in here. It's absolutely useless with flash. I can't use it at all!! Damn you Google!!?

My problem, in addition to the worst focusing ever, is that the camera software totally blows out anything I take a picture of with flash. Pictures of my friends make them look like highlighters!

I am still keeping the nexus one and I can confirm that the nexus 4 is "slightly" better than the nexus one in terms of camera performance.

That 28,700+ (now) number is the amount of open issues with Android in general, not the auto-focus.

Well, I love photosphere and I have got into the habit of taking them almost everywhere I go and then uploading to the google maps streetview project (which makes them easy to share in photosphere mode without google+).
But, I have to assume there isn't any camera app out there that can share to google maps other than Google's own. So, I still will be stuck with the stock app for at least that.

Hi there,
Are there any camera apps which have manual control and /or time lapse video?
( I dont really need all these features,but few days back i wanted to do a time lapse video and Pixel 2 camera app hasn't got this feature.)
In Playstore couldn't find any worth buying, i did end up using gopro time lapse app but not pleased with the results.
I had the galaxy s8 and the time lapse video quality was very good, easy to set/edit ,lots of options.
I did tried Free Camera app,but photo quality was bad.
Any ideas guys?
I think no App is better than the Stock app in picture quality. For making picture better i use "perfectly clear" and "snapseed"
Stock!!
Obviously stock is the best camera app, although I think people are missing the point in that he wants a time lapse camera. Not used it for years but you could give Microsoft Hyperlapse a try ?
Anyone found an app for timelapse?
Stop saying stock cam lol
