Hi,
I've been trying a few camera apps. I'm using the A2 camera module (magisk), GCam_mod (R5Plus_fix_crash), CameraMX app, CameraZoomFX app and OpenCamera app (from FDroid). And I could only use the geotagging feature with the Open Camera app. The other 4 apps didn't geotag any photo. I must say I have google services disabled, I don't know if they heavily rely on them. All other location apps work just fine.
I tried leaving the app open for quite a while. Tried shooting with split screen (not the first two) with an app that uses location (satstat or maps) after it fine locates me. No luck. Only OpenCamera is able to use the phone location to tag the photos.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

Since 4.3, my gallery app is absurdly slow to open, and I'm looking for a replacement. Something similar happened with the camera app, and installing the Note2 camera port fixed the lag problems.
So the only restrictions for the gallery are that it must open as the default picture viewing app from within the camera (that's why I suppose only official Samsung galleries will work - S4/Note), and preferably have an editor.
If there's a way to make QuickPic open up the camera pictures from the camera app, I'll take it. But if not, are there any working ports I can test?
Thanks!

Hey guys,
So who's given the G3's camera a run using Google's Camera app? I've tried it several times alongside the native camera app, and I realize that Google's Camera app doesn't seem to work as great as the native app.
It seems the laser assist autofocus does not work on Google Camera, since it takes a second or so for the camera to focus, instead of a few milliseconds with the native app.
HDR on Google Camera does not work as intended, either resulting in an image looking like normally shot or even at times darker.
Video recording using Google Camera app is limited to 1080p instead of 4K.
There is one thing positive with the Google Camera app though, and that it has a larger field of view compared to the native camera app. The Google Camera app almost makes it seem that the native camera app is zoomed a few times closer than it should be. I'll try to take a comparison shot to show you guys what I mean, but you can simply download the app and try it yourself
Next, I will try how the camera works with CameraZoom FX app.
Well that was expecting since I believe lg made things to work with stock...but let us know which third party works best!
I use the Google app for photosphere and lens blur.

Coming from an N5, I quickly got the Google Camera after getting my G3, but then realized the only reason I liked the Google Camera was because I shot everything with HDR+. I do miss that feature from the N5, since the G3 does not a good job at white balance in some lights, and HDR+ would always get me great looking photos, but could only shoot static targets and would take a while to shoot.
I also tried VSCO Cam and it doesn't offer much when it comes to camera settings, so things end up looking almost the same as stock, but with the slower focus like you mentioned.
Did someone come up with a way to change the way the stock camera oversharpens low light photos? It's pretty bad.
Has anyone tried LG Camera on the G3?

I only installed the Google Camera for photosphere. There really isn't any other reason to.
Also, I think the stock LG camera does have a lens blur effect.

This is pretty weird but any barcode scanner I use on the 5x inverts the camera. Meaning if I move left, it moves right. My regular camera works fine. Has occurred on shopsavvy and barcode scanner. Anyone else?
The same thing is happening with my banking app when I try to deposit a check

I don't know about barcode scanners but I tried using A Better Camera as my camera app and it also inverts everything, photos and videos are saved upside-down (rotated 180 degrees).
Appears to be the apps' implementation of the Camera 1 API, not considering its installed orientation. I don't imagine Google will fix this themselves, and instead rely on the app devs to update their code.
It would have been a lot easier if they just installed the camera in the same orientation that everyone else does :|
hello,
i'm having issues with stock camera app.
when ever i take panorama photos and try to view them in gallery (regardless of app used), i get this error message:
"cannot display panorama / the image file does not contain the required panorama metadata".
so far i tried with default gallery app and quickpick. neither of them are able to open the panorama file.
i also tried with google camera app. this seems to take panoramas without issue.
the only time / place i am able to view the panorama files is right after i take them and use the "recent pic" option from within the camera app.
right now i`m on android 7.1.1 with OS 4.1.6. unlock bootloader, TWRP, rooted device, stock OS / kernel.
already tried to clear camera app and gallery app data/cache. also did a wipe of cache / dalvik for entire phone. all in vain.
so .. if anyone has other suggestions ...
thanks.
In QuickPic, don't press on the displayed panorama icon but pinch-to-zoom instead.
Also keep in mind that QuickPic is noticeably slower on Nougat and might take some time to render the photo in full resolution.
The fastest gallery for Nougat at the moment is Simple Gallery, which also shows panoramas without issues for me.

The stock gallery doesn't give me any issues with panoramas, but it's a crappy slow app and I don't use it.
Nothing you can do about this. Something is fundamentally wrong with the way panorama-metadata is stored with their stock camera app.
Also taking panoramas in general is a PITA. I tried numerous shots at the beach last week. All were unusable because of countless stitching errors.
Clearing app data did not help unfortunately and It's not the only thing weird, also taking panoramas with google camera doesn't refocus for each shot.
Even some few OP5 camera reviews mentioned the same behavior. I really hope OnePlus fixes their app eventually.
I use an MOTO G5 (cedric) with LineageOS (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3885211) and the Problem is that if i take an picture is crashes, and the google camera app says that i dont have sufficent storage(i also tried diffrent camera apps). Every other app (Netflix, Play Music, etc) where i can store data too dont have problems like this. I have tried (force)Restarting the phone and force close the camera app. I also gave the app the permission to write and read data.
i found the solution
I just deactivated the integrated privacy feature of the phone for the specific camera app and it works now.
Yes, this thread is pretty old, I know. I still use the moto G5, with the same issue that CruZer003 described.
LineageOS 16.0-20190912-UNOFFICAL-cedric.
Please, can anybode explain the solution for me as nativ German-speaking? Screenshots would be wonderfull.
Thanks for support...
