[Q] Change lockscreen's camera mode or app

Hi does anyone know how to change the camera mode (Intelligent Auto+) when accessed from the lockscreen camera switch? My camera app is set to "Normal", for I'm not comfortable with using Intelligent Auto+, but when accessed from the lockscreen, it goes to the Intelligent Auto+ mode.
Also related - possible to change the default camera app?
Thanks!

in the camera app under settings,
click quick launch and set your desired mode

That setting don't work - it just allows me to choose whether
1) capture a shot right after launching
2) launch camera IN INTELLIGENT Auto mode
3) launch video cam and start shooting
4) launch video cam
5) remove lockscreen camera launcher
None of this option allows me to launch camera in NORMAL mode.
Any other ideas!

Download:
If you're using Kitkat based ROM, download version 1.8. Version 1.8 is last version for Kitkat (Although latest versions will also work, but i don't guarantee complete functionality)
OppoCamera_2.67
OppoCamera_1.8
Older Versions can be found here
To make Manual Focus work, you need either Camera HAL from Find7 or modified Camera HAL for our device. You can download it from Here (Flash it again to restore old libs)
find7HAL: Find 7 HAL is experimental but it is most compatible with this camera app. People reported that find 7 HAL breaks RAW images capture mode on CameraNext (though it works fine with this app).
CM_HAL_MOD: This is stock Camera HAL from CM11s/CyanogenOS 12/12.1 patched to support Manual Focus. This has no side effects and i would recommend you to flash this if you want more stable system and don't want any experimental stuff on your device.
CM_HAL_MOD (Lollipop & later) (Stable)
CM_HAL_MOD_KK (KitKat only) (Stable)
find7HAL (Lollipop only)(Experimental)

It needs a lot of work
You replied very fast thank you, the camera is good now after Beta 3. Now, eagerly waiting for Geo tagging (considering its your exams, do study) and Thank You.

From where is this app ported?

Gotitbro said:
To be true you should have not released yet. There is nothing you can do in it right now just capture and you cannot even access the gallery. And I thought it will atleast have slow shutter mode for which people were dying.
This is pre-alpha.
Still a great effort keep going, we are counting on you.

Try being supportive.

Fixed all broken functions, download new APK from 1st post...
It took almost 4 hrs to fix them all. I haven't experienced Color OS yet so don't know all functionality provided by it so suggest me if you want them (though no promises )

Works on cm12, was not too hard to install and test...

Wow you've done the impossible !!! Gonna try it now ! Thanks for you work

I have installed the app on my OPO no root and with official XNPH05Q.
The gallery from app doesn't work. Besides when I take a photo I cannot find it on CM gallery...

U need to install quickpic or similar gallery app

@BOOTMGR all I can say is that you rock

Hey this is deepak! Amazing work man [emoji106] [emoji106] Can u see if there is any way of implementing the 'Voice Shot' feature into this? Seems to be broken right now

It works on CM12, but no 4k recording. Also, there are no key features from ColorOS:
- no slow shutter
- no panoramas and high res photos
- no gif creator
But nice work.

It works on BlissPop cm12, quick pic it will reveal the photos

I don't think so, I haven't even seen a mod that changes that. Might have to look at older Sony phones to see if someone was able to change that.
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app

Did you try to re-assign the camera button with Xposed Additions?
http://www.addictivetips.com/android/xposed-additions/
With free version you cannot assign Camera action for the Screen Off condition, but with the pro (pay) version you should be able to launch shortcut (maybe Camera shortcut that should maintain camera settings).

You are lookig for "20MP Superioruto"

[DEPRECATED][CAMERA][SEMI-MANUAL][COS 12.1] Snapdragon Camera Mod

This app is now deprecated, a new awesome camera for OnePlus One is now available!
Check out Bacon Camera
Mod Edit: link removed
Hello! Today I want to share my very first project here (so do not be too rude with me )
First of all this mod is a porting of CAF' Snapdragon Camera, so a very big thanks to @Sultanxda for the base.
In this mod I've tried to add almost all features from OnePlus One CameraNext, with some special others, so thank you @CyanogenMod too.
A very special thanks go to @BOOTMGR for his awesome patched HAL camera driver! (To use this mod you have to flash his CM_HAL_MOD.zip)
Features:​
First of all let's explain why "semi-manual": With this mod you can control: Manual Focus, Manual White Balance, Manual Shutter Speed, Manual Exposure Compensation and 3 different RAW capture options (with DNG conversion).
Is still semi because ISO cannot be controlled manually.
All these features are made WITHOUT Camera2 APIs.
---Camera
- Color Effect
- Scene Mode
- HDR (Available in Scene Mode)
- Clear Image
- SuperMacro
- High Resolution (50-32-24MP Interpolation)
- Manual Exposure compensation
- Manual Shutter Speed (you can manually choose speed from 200ms to 64s)
- Manual Focus (With two modes: Scale Mode and Diopter Mode)
- Manual White Balance (CCT and RBGB Gains *)
- Long touch to change exposure point
- Grids (Rule of Thirds - Fourth - Viewfinder - Diagonals)
- GPS Tag
- Countdown Timer
- Zero Shutter Lag
- Focus Mode and Focus duration
- ISO: Auto, HJR, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200
- Continuous Shot (Long press shutter button)
- Anti Banding
- Skin Tone Enhancement
- Wavelet denoise mode
- Saturation, Contrast, Sharpness
- Redeye Reduction
- AE-Bracket
- Luma Adaptation (you can control luma via volume buttons)
- Lens Shade
- Histogram
- (Extended) Face Detection
- RAW Picture Format (Important HERE! Raw formats are: BayerQ10RGGB, BayerM10RGGB, BayerIQ10RGGB. These are real .raw files with Qualcomm encoding, if you want a DNG file you have to check "Save DNG" option, this will slow a bit the shot) (raw files are saved in DCIM/Camera/raw)(No jpeg will be generated)​---Video
- 4K DCI, UHD and so on..
- Tap to Focus
- Pause/Resume recording
- Digital Image Stabilization
- Time-lapse
- Audio source selectable
- Video duration up to 24h
- Possibility to choose storage position
- GPS tag
- Color effects
- Video HDR
- White Balance
- Video in High FrameRate (Both HFR and HSR works**)
- Flash ​---Panorama
The same you find in CameraNext​---Gallery
- The gallery is the same of CameraNext, BUT I've enabled TinyPlanet for all kind of picture (I don't know if it is useful but I've done some funny effects )​
* Experimental features
** HSR Works only with a CAF based ROM
What is missing?
- Timed Shots
- Photosphere
- Grids
- HDR
- Clear Image
How to install
--- Prerequisites
- Root
- Xposed Framework
- Install latest LuckyPatcher
- Open Xposed and active LuckyPatcher module
- Reboot
- Install as normal APK
if you cannot use Xposed you should open LuckyPatcher and apply all possible patches to Android Core (in tools options), then try to install as normal APK
Important Notes:
To install you should have Xposed with LuckyPatcher module activated (Or maybe it works also if you install as a simple system app, try it)
In this mod I have unlocked all possible features. Sometime you can choose an option that is not compatible with another and the camera might crash or freeze or something else. Don't worry, just clear the camera from recent apps (or in extreme cases Clear App Data).
Zero Shutter Lag has always to be ON when you use flash, otherwise you will have splitted image.
Zero Shutter Lag is not compatible with Continuous Auto Focus (CAF) so do not use it with ZSL enabled.
Probably when you will launch this app for the first time shutter button will not work, simply just clear the camera from recent apps and reopen.
If you launch CameraNext first, and then SnapCam Mod, shutter button will not work (I really don't know why), again just clear two cameras from recent apps and all should work fine.
In other words: if something doesn't work clear camera from recent apps
This Mod works only on OnePlus One (AKA Bacon) with patched HAL driver! Maybe on Find7 too, but I don't know.
You can test with others devices but remember that Manual Focus will never work.
Tested only with COS12.1 - I've patched the file media_profiles.xml to have better video quality.. If you want to try just download it from here and replace the original in "/system/etc/" folder, then reboot (do a backup first).
It should works also with CM12.1, let me know.
On CAF based ROMs might have some limitation due to CAF settings.
That's all I think, for the next weeks I will be very busy with work so I've decided to release it also if is not finished yet. Hope you will like!
If you think that I've done a good work, please consider to support me with a small donation
Thank you

You just need Cyanogen OS 12.1, caf ROM is not required
I'm so sorry but to make Snapdragon Camera working on non caf ROM I've to access to android hidden API (android.hardware.camera) so to install you should have xposed with LuckyPatcher module actived, or maybe if you have only root try to install as system app

Hello, i cannot use luckypatcher im on exodus. i tried to move the app in system/app rw-r-r but still not working...

Dude. This is simply amazing, exactly what i was hoping for. For. Months now. Will test when the new day breaks! Wow. I am very impressed with the this thread already.

Have you installed LuckyPatcher module for Xposed first?
Basically android does not permit to install app with system android package, to communicate with HAL driver I've included in the app mine android.hardware.camera package so you must patch android core with LuckyPatcher in order to install the app

How To Guide Camera hidden settings and features

Hi Everyone,
I love the camera of my MI11U. but there are a few tunings that I REALLY HATE!!! one of them is default beautify in selfie and portrait. taking photos of black objects (tried with GCAM which took a perfect shot). and a few minor others.
Searching here and there, I found a way to turn off and on some additional settings like beautify and some other functions. this will help whoever understand all these settings (not me ), so I thought to share this simple method and see your thoughts and outcomes. ***note that there are some settings are in Chinese***.
1 . go to file manager and go to phone storage....
2 . go to DCIM/camera
3 . make a new folder with the name mentioned below....
lab_options_visible
4 .save and exit.....
5 . go to settings and force stop the miui camera app....
6 . now launch the app.....
7 . go to camera settings menu of the app.....you will see new options available in there....
8 . just turn off beautify in portrait mode....
9 . come back....change to selfie mode....tap on the blue star.....now tap on clear.....
Hope this helps everyone to take better photos.
would much appreciate if we can share the benefits of these settings in order to get best results.

Wow, this is amazing. Thx

Hi Hassanaliyeh , which version of gcam do you use?

it is not perfect, original xiaomi camera is impressive with all functions and control of device way better than GCam. but GCam is better in some conditions and scenarios like taking a photo of a far black object or photos of people. with Xiaomi, far black objects will be like a void in a photo and no details at all in it, and beautify is so annoying. with GCam, both are better, but colours are less vibrant and saturated.

The reason I made this thread is to share experience and understand what exactly they do. I really do not know any other that beautify in portrait disables it for all camera modes and not only portrait.
I found the following over internet by someone tested them on Mi10 devices, and some features are not mentioned or were disabled with previous devices. hope it helps at a start.
Internal magic tools : activates internal tools to improve the quality of photos and videos.
Face detection : the mobile camera can recognize the face and frame it in a box to improve the result.
Hide face detection frame automatically : this option hides the box that appears when activating the previous option but keeps the improvements.
Beautify in Portrait mode : Activate beauty mode in all camera modes.
Turn on dual camera : turn on dual camera to enhance photos.
Turn on dual SAT camera – currently does not have a user function.
Turn on MFNR : when activated, the device takes 6 consecutive shots which when superimposed and eliminate the noise from the photo.
Turn on SR : with this option the resolution of the image is enlarged as if the sensor of the mobile were larger.
Turn on quick shot animation : activate the quick shot animation in the app.

Thanks for explaining the features.

Thanks for the tip. One of the options I really like to see is the ability to pick the metering type (full frame average, center weighted average or spot metering). Can be quite useful. Seems like center weighted is the default.

Tried on xiaomi.eu latest weekly and didn't work. There is a modded miui cam in a Telegram group. Can't give TG links since some butthurt people hate me and sharing TG links appears to be against the "rules". Just search up "Sevtinge's Mods". That cam got many more options to tweak for, especially the Leica stuff.
