The LOS camera, i.e. Snapdragon camera, is great, probably better than Sony stock camera.
Alternately, you can try OpenCamera, very good too.

I've no such problems with LOS camera on my Z5.
To force external-sd saving, you can use the magisk module Magic Folder Binder

thanks a lot for your reply!
can LOS14.1 cope with other camera ports? is it worth trying to make camera quality better using port?
you are talking just about camera apps. i'm sorry if something is wrong from me, but i dont know much about it.
and one more sorry for my english..)

There are several HTC camera ports available on XDA, you can try them (anyway always backup first...)

Do note I have an Xperia Z5 so results may vary for you, but I've found best results using the ProShot app, it's worked amazingly on several different phones I've tested so I'd imagine it would work well on a Z1 as well. Definitely worth looking into.

[Q] Android 4.2 Camera

Anyone here got a working Android 4.2 Camera that uses 5 Mega pixels instead of 3?
I've tried lots of mods out there but it doesn't seem to work.
Besides, I wonder why it only is able to use up to 3MP and not 5MP unlike other phones?

Try zooming in using 4.2 camera .. you wil find that its a bit blurry. Where as if your using cm10's camera its much more clear when you zoom in.try it.

I second that. The difference comes in when you're viewing it on the computer.
Hence, I was wondering if I could retain the 5MP on the 4.2 Camera because it's blazing fast.

Good for you. I don't have one though. I wouldn't say I depend on my camera a lot, but should there be any events, I'll depend on my phone's camera. Too bad that the new camera only takes up to 3MP. I was hoping if someone would fix it. It can easily replace the previous CM10 camera
in any custom rom.

The camera will be able to take 5mp shot when:
a. someone mods it
b. roms with android 4.2 starts coming for our device.

Agreed. Since I've no experience in coding and modding, I can only come here to seek help from more professional people.
I wonder if 1ceb0x will give it a go? Since it's available in paranoid android rom, naturally it's good to get it fix and share it with the community.

Picture Quality / Help in choosing a ROM

Hi, I was on the official build (MIUI) of Note 5 pro, however the pictures seemed like they were oil paintings, and did not look good at all, so I decided to install a custom ROM, hoping it'd help solve this issue, since the picture seemed to be using the beauty mode, even though I turned it off. I installed the pixel experience ROM, however the picture quality still is pretty bad, I was wondering if there is any custom ROM which would help solve this problem and give a good picture which doesn't look like an oil painting, lol.
Thanks in advance.

Add these into the /system/build.prop and into /vendor/build.prop
reboot, and install Gcam by arnova from this site:

Stock camera or custom?

Hi guys, in your experience do you recommend any custom Gcam or you think stock's works just fine?
I use this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pi...-camera-mod-pixel-3-3xl-t3909624/post79091513
It captures more details (and the picture files are much bigger).
Only issue I have is it force closes if I shake the phone too much.
You can ignore the camera driver mod if you want and just use the modified gcam app if you want.

I personally love the stock cam, so I haven't had the need to change it. I feel like my pics all come out superb.

Yeah I think the same but I was checking about cameras with custom settings, drivers, libraries and had to ask. I'm staying with stock. Thanks for your reply.

The app I linked is basically the same as stock but it gives the option to use up to 36 shots for a better HDR and sharpner shot (I think stock uses 24)
The processing takes like a second with our Snapdragon 845 which can seem much and that's probably why Google went on a little less shots in the Pixel 3XL stock app.
This app can be useful if you want to crop the pictures as it has a bit much details.
Also if you want to fine tune your shot in Snapseed it has more information to play with.

Question Camera performance on custom ROM with GCam

Anyone using GCam in any of the custom ROMs currently available? How good are the results? Are they providing better outputs than in the MIUI?? If so, please mention the ROM & GCam version.
Much better than the original, I used it global and xiaomi.eu.

That's so strange asking for this, because it is so simple to test it at your ease.
This is a simple APk to be installed and removed simply if you don't like. it is NOT any deep system modification that can raise questions...
Gcam is a must on my phone.Installed the first day for testing.

That's not the case! I don’t own the device yet. But if I get positive feedback about this aspect that might change pretty soon. Normally you get better result with GCam on top of custom ROMs. But that may vary. That's why I wanted to be sure before buying & not regret afterwards.

Two issues I found were:
1. The slow motion isnt working with the latest MGC GCam
2. Images on the front cam are only 4-5 megapixels (20mp on stock)
Everything else is great though. The main cam has more detail in GCam than stock

The stock cam has a tendency to darken the shadows & to some extent leaves too. Does it happen on GCam too??

Really much better ? Because I gotta say stock cam on MIUI (xiaomi.eu) has many differents options that seems interesting and quite nicely done! (short movies, vlog, etc).

The image quality is better. But I agree with you on the options part. Lot of customization in stock cam.

General default camera so much better then Gcam my review

ok let me start custom roms blow stock out of the water but the only thing that made me go back to stock was the camera app , in my opinion gcam struggles to focus I do consider myself a a photography pro , that being said , i love the performance of the customs roms overstock , hands down, but the default camera is the deal breaker in my opinion, g-cam struggles to focus , especially in macro mode , I do hope some one port the ANX camera to a custom rom ... just my 2 cents and I tried them all Gcam / configs so save your breath...
I agree, the stock cam is just better, more convenient and faster imo. Luckily for me I dont care much about photos.
Sorry I got that wrong.

It's true, thanks to a user of this forum that I don't remember the name I was able to use the Gcam for normal and night photos but the macros are still a problem.
Another thing that is making me think about going back to Stock ROM is that there is no support and continuity of updates.
I really love the stock camera too. But for Macros or really close photos it can't focus could you give me a tip, to improve it.
Does any custom rom support the stock camera app?

Hi,
right after taking the picture the app closes, the picture is saved but every time I have to reopen the app. If I take a photo in night mode the app closes and the photo is not saved.
I also have Gcam installed can there be a conflict?

Maybe it depends also on custom rom, what is installed.
