Hello to everybody,
Before alot of search i`ll try to ask it to you.
Ìs it possible that there isn`t any apps that let you use all potentility of the g1 camera?
I`ve seen that in hero rom(but now i have cym 4.2.5) the htc camera let you set iso, contrast, night mode, and a lot of features, i`ve buy all camera apps in market but any of these let you set these parameter.
I would pay for an app that let me use my camera in all its features.
Any suggestions?
FXCamera is free and i like it check it out
yes, i've already try it, but it's not what i want
Our product Camera ZOOM FX offers a very high degree of customization of the G1 camera's abilities. A Droid version is expected to be available in the next 10 days. Camera ZOOM FX is available on the Android Market for £1.29 or on the SlideME market.

Snap Photo Pro?
yes, i already buy it, but this not have any contrast regulation, or iso setting or exposure etc.
i would like to have these features but... nobody do that.
The problem i that in low light or in night the photos are so dark.
It's not a DSLR, it's a camera on a phone.
yes i know, but for example in built in camera in hero rom there is the regulation of constrast, saturation and sharpness, and iso, and if i set high iso and low contrast i can take beautiful and clear photos with very low light.

then you should get a hero phone or run a hero rom. again, this is a phone.
g1 camera
well i notice that no matter what program the g1 has its seems that the camera sux!!! is there any way that this can be fixed???
Try xROM.
It's a full rom, not an app.
But it has the Hero camera in it, and it works pretty good in dark light.
The Market does have some very nice camera apps (especially for a phone camera), but I fully understand the op's request. Sometimes it's not feasible to carry around a camera and a phone. For the candid, spur-of-the-moment shots, that's the benefit of having a camera on the phone. Unfortunately, most of these apps do post-processing of photos. That's not much fun when you take multiple photos. The Hero camera, on the otherhand, let's you set the brightness/contrast/etc BEFORE you take the pics. That's a huge benefit when you're in a restaurant or club and want to grab some low light photos.
xROM is a very nice, stable and fast rom. Although it's a bit older of a rom, it still has most of the functionality of the latest roms and pretty much all the speed as well. I believe it's the most recent rom that also had the Hero camera.
Thats why I'm hoping we get some software improvements once the Sony Ericsson phone comes out. I had the k800i Cybershot Phone before the G1, and that phone rocked. The camera software was amazing. I imagine the hardware will limit it of course, but the image processing right after the sensors output should see great improvements that, I hope because of android, will lead to amazing improvements of the camera apps.
I have Snap Photo Pro, FxCamera, and 3DCamera.
In my opinion...
Snap Photo is best for photos that matter the most (but its still not a real cameraphone so you can't expect much). But the detail is there and postediting can fix most issues. And you get the most megapixels compared to the rest.
FxCamera is awesome if you don't mind small photos. Web quality, but not print. Love this app though, and prefer the auto output of the polaroid mode better than auto Snap Photo settings, and use this one the most for casual shots.
Never had a photo from 3dCamera yet. Hoping its a skill level thing and I can make use of th incredible possibilities. But only possibilities so far.
I repeat, if a hero rom can use these features on a g1/dream phone, this mean that a stand alone software for g1 can do that, i think.
Why nobody has developed these features? What is the problem?
I totally agree! I just wish we had an app. in which nightmode actually worked...
is it just me but is FX camera missing from the market now? I havent been able to find it

Moved thread here as the old one got moved to Q & A.
Please feel free to leave suggestions for new updates and we will try to include them in the future!
Thanks dev for this amazing app - easily my favorite on the market!
The only thing missing from this app is geotagging pictures - could I suggest that for a future update?
Glad you are enjoying the app.
Thanks for the suggestion - we'll try and get geotagging included in the next update.
Thanks so much for finally doing a proper photobooth option! I've been waiting for this on all the camera apps!
The other stuff in the app is very good, but a digital zoom is no different than zooming a picture you have already taken. Shame the G1 does not have an optical zoom. That would go along nice with this app.
Thanks for the feedback.
The app's original intention was to add digital zoom to the market and we were the first market application to do so.
We have moved more now into creating a very powerful, feature-rich and fun to use camera app.
Look out for more updates soon!
Thanks for keeping the size down too! I, for one, hope you dont add too much post-processing features to the app (filters, etc...) these are not practical on the phone (in my opinion) and do nothing but bloat the app! (I won't name names, but there's another camera app that is 3 times the size of yours and is a bear to work with.)
One thing I'd like to see, as far as flters go, is pre-defined adjustments. Almost all pictures taken with the camera need to have their brightness and contrast adjusted. If there was a way to auto adjust this based on an algorithm (like photoshop does) that would be perfect.
Brightness and contrast filters will certainly be coming in a future update and we'll look into auto adjust as you suggest.
In case you didn't already hear, Camera ZOOM has been nominated for best camera app in the Android Network Awards ...
We have worked hard to be the most feature-rich, innovative and fun camera and have given you some great features including original digital zoom, free skins, photo booth, circular zoom, quick settings, stability meter, buddies and customizable buttons to name a few.
And there’s lots more to come …
Hopefully you are as excited about Camera ZOOM as we are – please show us your support by voting here (voting ends on 16th August) :

That is kind of creepy but I don't think we even live in the same country!
Of course I voted for you androidslide!
But I need my geotagging feature - any idea when its coming?!
In the next few weeks certainly. Lots of other features coming soon ... keep the ideas coming!

androidslide would like to thank everyone who supported Camera ZOOM in the Android Network Awards.
The results were close ... in fact almost too close to call - this is what I heard back from the organizer this morning :
'Snap Photo Pro got 44% while Camera ZOOM got 40%. The difference was about 50 votes'
We are very pleased with this turnout - obviously we would have been even more pleased had we won (!), but to achieve such a huge response within less than 3 months on the market is a huge result for us - so thanks again to everyone for the support!
Look out for more great features from us very soon - in the meantime, take a look at our list of features, many of which are exclusive to Camera ZOOM :
http://www.androidslide.com/camerazoom
Have been having fun wiht this app for a little while now. There is one problem I have with it. In order to get the pictures to look correct when adding people/object overlays I need to get my subject to pose correctly for the effect to look right. Would be amazing if I could edit the overlays before or after the shot. (ie move the overlay around and more importantly the ability to erase portions of the overlay.)
Thanks for the fun app

Since you have been a pioneer in the camera app realm and also in the gallery realm why not continue this pace and incorporate some sort of wobble or jiggle filter that uses the accelerometer to manipulate real time wobble/jiggle effects to pictures taken or already stored? Now that would surely be a winner.
Last Wichaya Gcam support auxiliar lens without root in some devices. After trying on my G8 power I could say work really well with macro and ultra wide lenses. You only need to download the APK, install and activate it on advanced settings. I don't know why in telephoto mode use the ultra wide instead, but works well, so it's ok for me, for 2x zoom you got hi res zoom incorporated on any Gcam. When you change to any different lens the app was rebooted and can't do this if a image it's processing.
XML settings supported too.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog1311/
Update: video mode works with macro and wide angle too, but don't expect stability when wide angle it's enabled. You need to change lens mode before.
Update: The new Wichaya Gcam Update now allows you to manually change the ID of the secondary lenses, so it is now possible to enable the Telephoto lens on our G8 Power (Disabling Macro), also the lens shift buttons work properly (0.6x for Ultra wide, 2x for Telephoto). To do this you can do it manually or using my XML settings file which has all the necessary configurations to work both the telephoto and the ultra wide angle, plus it's configured by me to achieve a better picture with each of the lenses.
Camera comparation
You can see Here a comparation between Stock camera and Wichaya's Gcam with my settings.
It's cool that finally we can use the additional cameras with the Google Cam app. I see much more noise (although better detail too) compared to the default Moto app and the Parrot ROM. Did you have any success in that regard?

Have you seen my photo comparison? After changed one by one the settings of the three lens the results are clearly superior in every way. If you are using my XML go to settings and enable the lib patcher, cause it's this that correct and apply the changes what i mention and don't it's auto enabled when charge the XML.
Update
Added 2 more photos to the Photo Comparation Album showing how the 4X Zoom works (Telephoto + Gcam's 2X Super Res Zoom)
I agree with the noise comments. The Wichaya camera has WAAAAY more noise then Parrot and Stock. I loaded the g8p-by-mikael1013.xml XML, and took a picture, and compared it to PARROT, and STOCK. Below are the results.

FYI - Arnova's GCAM allows you to do the same thing, but this one allows you to use ALL lenses. Wide, Main, Macro, Tele. Arnova's GCAM allows you to switch between lenses so much faster, without the annoying camera restarts. The only problem.. is that in VIDEO mode, there doesn't seem to be any software stabilization.

Thread updated with another Gcam port with better noise treatment
Following users opinions about the grain treatment by Wichaya's Gcam I looked for better options with same multiple lens support, that's how I found Nikita Gcam. This Gcam allows to change between lens with better response, better grain treatment, lib patcher and custom libs. If you want to try my personalized settings use this XML File who it's tuned for better color and detailed photos.

This is a good one also... only problem... video stabilization for Video is not working.
Wide angle lense is also very grainy compared to stock. But after going through 15 different gcam ports... every other one is the same.
Main lens in this port looks very good!
Try changing lenses while a picture is processes. The HDR message stays on the screen and won't go away. Even when exiting out of the cam.

I spent quite some time trying to tame the wide angle lens noise. Still the stock camera beats it . BTW there is a new version from Nikita but it doesn't seem to improve the grain or the lack of video stabilization.

Sorry guys. Maybe I miss something. Does this app support Moto G Power (sofia)? I checked the link and found it's not on the list.

The versions listed here do work with the sofia even if it is not listed on their website.
The latest version of Nikita GCam works but the only version of Wichaya's GCam that works with my phone is the 2.5 version listed here. The newer versions of Wichaya's crash and close when I try to switch lenses.
Great to see some more positive feedback on the camera since the updates!
What resolution/mode are people finding best for general point and shoot? Auto or 3:4 (if so, with or without 108MP)?
Also, hoping for a bit of advice on the best ratio and mode to use in the following scenarios:
- Under artificial light indoors
- In low light
- Capturing movement without it being one big blurry mess (I tried taking a few of my dogs whilst they were running in the park and couldn't get any focus or features at all)

To capture movement you either need to push up the shutter speed to a speed of 1/300-500 in Pro mode (so only use the main camera no zoom), or 'pan'/move the camera to track the subject whilst its moving to with the zoom lens. The later is almost impossible to do on any phone, and AF on the S21 U I don't think is good enough for it, I tried it last weekend and I got zero usable shots out of about 10 attempts even with burst mode.
The other options is a 'still' capture using slow mo video or 4K 60 FPS.
I don't think its impossible to capture good motion with the main sensor, but you need to play with the setting, and use Manual Focus.

Thank you for the tips, I will give that a go. Is the tap photo you posted an example of the shutter speed tip or slow mo/4K video tip?
Having had an opportunity to play around with the camera more, my main difficulty (particularly compared to my partner's iPhone) is definitely capturing the dogs while they're moving. I have experimented with burst shots and also motion photos to allow me to try and pick the best shot afterwards but it's really not ideal having to sift through a load of shots to try and find the most usable one.
I find that if I just point and shoot, the photo will often just be a blur with no distinguishable features - whereas the iPhone seems to capture the dogs in motion pretty well. By motion, I don't just mean in full flight either, at times my dog will be lying/sitting and just one head movement seems to completely nerf the photo...
Smartphones are crappy cam platforms compared to a pro cam system that weighs a couple pounds. A pro cam's handholds are also much better.
More mass means more inertia. The heavy pro cams are very easy to shoot with in part because of the extra weight.
So bracing the phone or the hand/arm/shoulder/your body holding the phone on any solid object at the right height helps to keep keep the framing lined up and avoid cam shake.
Even with a pro cam you brace it when possible otherwise you take a wider staggered foot plant, keep your elbows down/inward. You watch your breathing just like you would when shooting a rifle. If kneeling you can rest your elbow or arm on your leg.
This is a learned practice that over time becomes second nature the same as composing-framing/squaring up a shot.
You need to do this quickly/accurately to grab most action shot keepers.
That's part of the issue but far from all.

Yes upping shutter speed -1/2000, and Manual focus.
The Autofocus on the S21U back focuses at times consistently- so will focus behind what you want. Am not sure why, this scene below I just couldn't get the AF to focus on the purple flower, it didn't matter where I tapped on the screen it wouldn't do it.
Manual focus nailed it however. But you really cannot use Manual focus on a moving subject with the phone, the ergonomics just aren't there, so your best bet is to go into Pro mode and get the shutter speed up to 1/2000 range.
You will also need to push the ISO up to 200-400 to ensure the picture isn't too dark, so realistically you need to be outside with good sunlight to get a decent shot.
Use auto tracking focus for moving subjects, remember to turn it off afterwards.
Hi, I've run into another new issue with Android 12 and I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing it. Inside the camera app, the video ends up seriously cropped compared to how it was on Android 11. Whereas before I could shoot indoor things (cat videos, etc) with the normal lens, now I'm having to go out to the ultrawide to fit things in frame. For now I'm getting around it by using a custom older version of Gcam, but I'd like to just use the normal app if possible. Is anyone else seeing this?
This is with the stock app:

}
Compared to how it was with Android 11 and on the custom Gcam app
As you can see, it's a significant amount of cropping. Both with the same standard stabilization enabled. (And pardon the messy desk)
I also tried installing the older 8.2 APK, but to no avail. It's older than the 8.3 that comes with the OS, so you can't go back further than that. And also my old technique for resigning apps to make the system think they're separate apps doesn't seem to be working, but if anyone could figure out a way to do that, I'm all ears.
It's normal. This how EIS works.

Did you even read? This is considerably more cropped than the same stabilization setting on Android 11. It turns it from perfectly usable to completely worthless. And if I'm recording 1080p60 or 4K, it's actually recording at less than full resolution and blowing it up, which looks terrible.
It is normal I think that is how it works.
I think I understand your question but I don't think I recorded any videos before upgrading to Android 12, so I don't have any comparison. I agree that the "1x" video on 12 has a narrower field of view than the equivalent "1x" still photo mode. Allso the video UI does not seem to have any option to disable image stabilization completely. I see that it offers .6x only for standard and cinematic pan. The other modes start at 1x or 2x, so I'm not even sure if the number always means the same sensor.
Yeah, I experienced the same issue, using exactly the same video camera settings the video on Android 12 has much narrower fov. I find it strange that no one is talking about this, maybe no one cares, but when making indoors videos it's a big deal since you have to switch to the wide angle lens, which gathers much less light.

The ultrawide camera also lacks autofocus, so if you're trying to film something close-up like a computer screen, it won't be in focus. This is definitely a major issue.
I just noticed that when you pull down the settings pane in the camera app, click "More settings", and scroll down, you can find a toggle to disable video stabilization. This gives a wider field of view and seems to show a similar lightly shaded on-screen control for stabilization. Trying to touch that control raises a hint to enable stabilization in the settings.
Are you sure that the Android 11 and custom app are enabled and not in this funny state with the partial shading of the control button?
Need help to fix this issue with long exposure shots on my Redmi Note 10 Pro Max. I recently bought the phone and today when I tested long exposure shots it showed white dots in all the pics with same settings, higher the ISO, more clearly the dots were visible.
What can I do to fix this issue?
I attached 2 shots below that I took in complete dark room after cleaning my lens carefully, and for extra precaution I point the camera towards a black surface closely. These are clicked with "Wide" camera in pro mode with Shutter Speed : 30 and ISO : 6400, when I reduce the ISO, they dots fade away a bit. Ultra Wide camera produces similar results.
I even downloaded ProShot app to check if it does any good but, same dots at same place were visible.
These 2 are taken by system camera app, using above given setting (S-30, ISO-6400)

I even downloaded ProShot app to check if it does any good but, same dots at same place were visible.
These 2 are taken by system camera app, using above given setting (S-30, ISO-6400)

Ping for @Laptapper
Mentioned the device details in the above reply.
That's hot pixels and/or noise. That's pretty much normal on any digital camera, especially on longer exposures and higher ISO. How much they're shown in the final image depends on noise reduction used - the less (less aggressive) noise reduction, the more they will be visible.
@Case_
Firstly thanks for helping out! And got what you're saying, so just wanted to know in my case, as I am on an android device, what measures can I use to fix this? Any third party app that'll process images with more noise reduction? Or maybe any way to change default settings of system camera app? Can't always switch to post editing to fix this, as it'll be tricky too.
@Sniper God I would start by not shooting 30 second ISO 6400 shots That can be a tall order even for a DSLR, let alone for a phone camera.
GCam ports have noise profile and noise reduction adjustments if you're willing to tinker. I think I saw a hot pixel removal setting there too. Also I've used the mobile Photoshop before for noise reduction. Other than that, I only ever use Snapseed for some light photo editing, but it doesn't have noise reduction (or I don't think it does, at least).
But yeah, as silly as the advice to not shoot shots like that might seem, that's honestly one of the best advices in photography in general - if your camera has some shortcomings, either take advantage of them and use them to improve the shots (which in this case is kinda hard), or work around them so the affect your shots as little as possible.

Got it, but I've been trying to shoot with nearly same settings using different phones, and none of them reflected any issue like this. I think I should try resetting the phone or otherwise get to the service center as it is under warranty period. It even does this with inbuilt long exposure shot settings that are made to shoot stars and light painting.
It all depends on noise reduction algorithms and settings used. Many phone cameras are pretty aggressive in that regard, so things like these will rarely show up. Though it can also differ literally sensor from sensor, even on a same phone model, to a degree at least.
It is also IMO more likely to show up using settings made for astrophotography, because those are likely to have the noise reduction set pretty low to make sure it doesn't remove too many stars and smudge the sky too much.
I would seriously doubt a factory reset will change anything. But, I mean, you've got little to lose by trying that. And returning the phone is certainly your customer right if you're not satisfied with it.
BTW, out of curiosity, I just tried it on my phone. I got roughly the same amount of hot pixels as you did. Which, frankly, is impressively low for a phone camera as far as I'm concerned I'm pretty sure I'd get the same or more if I shot a 30s ISO 6400 exposure with my DSLR. I don't normally even use ISO 6400, I even try to use ISO 3200 as a last resort.
