Alternative camera app - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm really not liking the camera app Sony has provided for this otherwise spectacular camera. Has anyone else managed to find a better app for this phone?

Does the lossless zoom work with these apps too?

Also I find the auto focus to be very difficult to work it maybe I'm putting my fingers where I'm blocking something?

FX Camera and Camera Zoom FX are different apps...

The Focal Beta does look quite good as well, can't say anything about picture quality yet.
It can be downloaded directly from the playstore!

Perfectly Clear works perfect .
Fotor, once my favourite, crashes on Z1.

Depends on preferences:
Camera FV-5 is pretty advanced and nice
Focal has good potential and looks nice
Procam is working fine...
Wish SuperCamera was working properly, older version does start but the settings don't seem to always do much...

Camera is not good

I have one LG lu6200
Lu6200's picture is better than P880's.
P880 unable to focus,the focusing blur.

upgrade to 10F maybe it help with the focus
Not a big fan of the camera neither, I can't figure out how to take clear pics. Many pics isn't sharp.
I have 3 different camera apps and none of them is good on inside photo..
I have the original app, camera zoom fx and lgcamera, where lgcamera is the worst. Only on auto focus the camera actually focus (original). Still I get pics that isn't sharp.
I'm on 10f... For me it seems like it got worse after the latest update...

i have lgcamera pro and the free version, images are hits and misses (sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad). im using camera360 and camera zoom fx as well.
have you tried changing the focus mode to fixed, or other modes?
I start to think that the only good camera that LG had, was the Viewty I, Viewty II its not bad too... Instead of learn... they do worst.

Yes..
In the original camera app there's only auto and face reckoning...
In camera zoom fx it won't focus in fixed mode, macro and infinity just taking the pic with ones. Lgcamera is the same and camera360 focused a bit (macro)..

Oh, it's a phone?? Naaah, damn, thought it was a camera....
Well, o2x takes better pics, even my transformer prime takes better photos.. but besides that, I love the phone!
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
I don't think it's bad and I don't really have any problems with focusing. I just touch the screen where i want to focus and when it is focused I press the the shutter button (or volume button).
I also had the N8 (well 3 actually) and woow I liked that camera, though I had problems with the screen, pink tint and things like that. After the third phone I took the money back. It would have been very nice if the N8 was an android phone.
I love it too,i hope the next version will better than now:laugh::laugh:

I recommend u to use Camera ICS+, I purchased it and it works perfect for me. You may try the free version, which is Camera ICS, it is actually the google stock camera with some mods, but I personally think it is even better than the stock LG camera app, hope u enjoy it.:good:
I use lgCamera, both free and pro version can provide better pictures with ISO and focus control, but sometimes it cannot save picture properly (resulted in picture without thumbnail)

It is changeable. Current duration is set at 3 seconds. How long do you want it to be?
Code: .field public static final RELEASE_TOUCH_AF_DURATION:I = 0xbb8
where bb8 = 3000 (ms)

result is the final picture is blurry, and details lost although its tries to focus. its not just the visual part, seems to be a combo

New Stock JB camera from port from Google edition HTC One and Galaxy S4

Hey I have tested the port app from the Google edition HTC One (GS4) and it works like a charm on my Xperia Z with Android 4.2.2.
All functions including Photosphere work when accessed from the Gallery app. The Camera shortcut does crash sometimes. All you have to do is just download the APK and install it on your phone. It will not replace your stock camera app so you can just install it and use it as an alternative.
You can download it from this website: http://android.hdblog.it/2013/06/27...e-galleria-di-ones4-google-edition-per-tutti/
Or here is a Google Drive link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1liTNaofBHRQTNHZzQ2V1YyaTQ/edit
Sorry if it is s stupid question but does this app give you any better pics? Specially when there is low light or night time...I get pathetic images on stock app during night time...red dots all over..

Is it possible to put this camera in the lockscreen (Where now the XZ camera is)?
I tried to search to replace it, but nowhere to find (for me )
Here is a quick test result:

Top man. Works nicely. Confusing as hell to use though.
I played a little with photosphere app. Great app. But the picture quality is not very good when zooming.
I compare 2 photoshere from the same point (one with my Xperia Z, one with S4 not google edition).
The one from S4 is much more sharp than the one from Xperia Z. What a pity...
Alternative Camera App
Reckon I will give this one a shot in a little bit. Was trying to get the Honami Camera app to work last night after de-odexing new Stock ROM, but this might keep me content until Honami is updated for new Firmware. Nice One !:laugh:

The 3D Sweep Panorama and the normal Sweep Panorama disappear together Maybe the 3D one is not useful but I think the normal one is quite useful for taking photos like sea view~
How did it disappear? I still have Panaroma under the options where you select the Super Auto, normal, Scene modes etc. I am on .284.
The Seeep Panaroma also has options to select the direction in which you want to Pan. 3D Sweep is missing, But I don't remember seeing it on the SP.

Hi everyone.Lately i noticed that the camera does not focus on the objects I had tapped on. I remember there was the time it used to focus (. I've got the 9.1.b.1.67 rom version. Can anyone help me to find the setting to turn this feature on or everyone has the same issue? Thanks a lot.

Hmm. This is not a touch focus. It's a take a shot on viewport touch. And it focuses automaticaly on whatever it desides. The touch focuse used to show a yellow square under the finger and didn't make a shot until you press the button.
