Time to take picture (camera launch speed) - LeEco Le Pro3 Real Life Review

There! Something just happened! Did you take a picture of it? Rate this thread to express how fast the LeEco Le Pro3 can go from "zero to picture". A higher rating indicates that launching the camera app and taking a photo is extremely fast such that you never miss an important moment, like when your cat attacks the couch again.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

so far, the camera performance was dismal for me. even after camera is up, it takes seconds before pic is taken. When I take pictures of babies, I can't catch the moment when they look at me

If you want stellar phones on Leeco phones, you must flash the Pixel ported Gcam, it has a burst mode, you can take 8 amazing pictures in a second when using burst mode I am using the stellar Arnova Port: GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8

Honestly, all of them.
We have 4 Leeco phones in our house, and I have used all roms at some point.
At this very moment I am installing the latest build of dotOS

The reason I'm asking is after I flashed the latest LineageOS, I went over all different versions of google camera from this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/google-camera-hdr-b-s-g-port-version-t3659879, and none but the most ancient worked. On LineageOS 14 I was able to use scrubber_GCam_5.1.018_25.apk . In other words, other than stock camera, I can't find something that consistently works

What kind of phone do you own? X720, X727 or x722?
Here is a site that has all of the ported Cams : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
I only use the Arnova Cams, they are the most similar to the actual pixel software.
Also, alot of developers make commits from other builds such as lineage. This the reason why something works in every rom for a while and a month later it works in none of them.
Go into the Camera settings and looking for ZSL reprocessing, if you are getting a black screen turning on zsl reprocessing will allow the camera to work. The celsoazevedo. website also has detailed troubleshooting tips.

google HDR+ on mi mix

In theory it should work on this device, right? I'm not sure if I installed it right but it doesn't seem to work yet for me. It's still in beta so that could change. This is the article for those that haven't seen it yet, https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-ported/
I'm stoked because my current Rom doesn't have hdr
Doesn't work here on lastest stable 8.2.5.0 build under android 6...
Snap camera give me good result anyway !!
I just tried it with the latest RRemix and it works like a charm. Really impressed with the detail it gets out. I hated the pictures made with the normal Google camera, especially since I was traveling these days and it's either an overexposed sky, or underexposed building that were on the picture. Now I can have the best of both worlds.
Then require Nougat ROM version !!
Thx for report

Hi. Can you post some pics? Maybe comparing to default and snap camera if possible. Thanks!
Sure thing, here is an album for you of some quick pictures I took. The difference is quite big and you can see it immediately.

Thanks! Nice improvement. The camera is the only thing keeping me from making the Mi Mix my dd. That may change soon once I check it out. Anymore pics comparing to say, snap camera ap would be great. Thanks again!

Sure mate, here are more pictures. This time with Snap Camera samples too.

Since I don't use the Snap Camera all too much, this is a huge improvement in picture quality. Especially how it gets the harsh lighting and sky to be correct.

Based off those samples it seems like Snap strikes a good middle ground. I used FV-5 and Open Camera and low light pictures would always be even darker than they appeared. I tried the modded Google Camera with HDR+ and while it does take better photos in darker surroundings it almost goes a bit too far.
Sure, but I'm not into changing apps and whatnot and setting up manual modes to get the most of my shots. With this, I get a good picture. And all I had to do was point and shoot. Good enough for me. Now I'm actually compelled to take more pictures, since it takes good pictures now.
So this doesn't work with the original ROM? Mine crashes straight away.

Doesn't work on the latest EPIC (7.7.20 MIUI) either. I assume it doesn't work because MIUI 8/9 is still based on Android 7.0 and this app was extracted from 7.1.2 (the app is a mod of Camera version 4.4.012 which requires 7.1+).
Hey Guys,
I wondering if I am missing the trick to this... I am running LOS so camera API2 enabled via HAL3 enabled = 1
But when I try to install the apk, I get the error:
App not Installed
The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name.
Any ideas? I really want to try this!
Install apk, enable camera API2, reboot.
Work on latest Epic ROM.
Not working on stock chinese MIUI 8.5.3.0(MAHCNED)....application crashes

Based on photos it's very clear that Google hdr+ captures a lot of detail from the sky, and that's what I missed a lot on standart camera app...

I'm running latest epic everything is fine and nice with Google photo app but the main camera app Force to close when I try to take a photo, it does however take videos normally. Do you know any workaround?
EDITED
Nevermind, clearing cache and data solves the issue !
MAN, finally we got a great HDR!!!
I'm very happy, this HDR IS AWESOME
I've been using the modded Google camera for a couple of days now on RR 5.8.4. I like it a lot! I can hardly believe that the photos, especially with HDR+ on (instead of HDR+ auto) were from my Mix.
Mostly everything works. Panorama, Photo Sphere, Lens Blur all work. I did find a couple of issues, though. The worst one is that the video camera, both in normal and slow motion mode, crashes probably 9 times out of 10. It seems to work, but after the filming is over the app crashes when the video is saved. There is a file saved that is unreadable. This is the only issue that prevents me from making this app my default camera.
A minor issue, that's probably fixable with a build.prop change, is the selfie cam takes upside down photos.

Photo quality

Say "cheese", then rate this thread to express how photos taken with the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 come out. A higher rating indicates that photos offer rich color (without over-saturating), sharp detail (with all subjects in-focus), and appropriate exposure (with even lighting).
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I've been using this for 2 weeks, its 4/64 and i got the latest fota update just last week (Security patch level 1 Dec 2018 - OPM1.WW_Phone-15.2016.1812.179-20181227).
Firstly using this i was disappointed by the camera quality and complained to the store but they asked me to wait for the update. Then came the update last week i stated above. The quality is quite the same. One thing worst is when you turn brightness below 50%, when you take picture and about to review, the screen will automatically turn dark around the photo. So, i can not get the exact view of what i have taken previously. Thats the most disturbing behavior of the phone.

The brightness thing is not a bug. The camera is set to override the manual brightness settings to have a clear view of what you are shooting. When you exit the canera app it will revert back to the manual brightness settings.

That is because Google camera after taking a picture, processes the image and so there are two images... One is unprocessed and other one processed...

Is it possible to take long exposure photo? or a way to make it happen. would be cool if i could take a shot of milkyway like in my zenfone 5z or zenfone 4 pro.(32s)
So in short - the camera is a work in progress. Just checking up on my own curiosity - No replies needed. Thankyou all for this thread.

Google Camera port for Mi Mix

There are lot of versions of pixel camera port out there. Which one is best for Mi Mix?
I am using several of the most recent, and one older.
All 3 work well except for one or two things things, different for each, like slow motion or Lens, which is why I have 3 for now.
Be warned:

If they have different names as apps, I am not up to date on exactly what must differ.
I have all 3 of these I listed installed at the same time now, they each got their own icon, and don't seem to interfer with each other, the system treats them as different apps.

The oldest one I recall could work with 120fps slow motion, but it was not good with other things, have recently deleted it.
The newer ones do not work for slow motion.
For slow motion you could try Open Camera, I recall it working ok.
There's a new one where UHD 4K video seems to work at 60 fps.
GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.4.032219.1950.apk
It has been a little kinky to get HDR photos to work, however, and slow motion still does not work.
Open Camera has been best for videos otherwise, Gcam best for photos, especially low light.

Right now I have:

And another one in which Google Lens works, Ithink this one:
MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova-based_v.1.4a_TlnNeun.apk
Neither work perfectly in all aspects, and they do crash now and then.
I also use Open Camera, it sometimes works better than the Gcams, and never crashes.
But now I have a new Asus Z6 as my primary phone, so don't take pictures with the Mix1 so much now.
The Z6 perhaps does not take better pictures, but the camera apps do not crash snd the HDR processing is much faster, no waiting.

You never need root for Google Cam. You only need someone to make it work with the device.
So far, no luck.
But, the camera is already great. It has the same sensor as Oneplus 7 pro and that phone is one of the highest on the dxomark list:
https://www.dxomark.com/category/smartphone-reviews/
I compared the camera to Galaxy S9, and it seems to take better photos than GS9.
But yeah, Google Cam would make it even better.

Do you happen to have the apk exact name? Also, are you using a config file?
EDIT: I tried both apks in the MI9 thread with two suggested config files.
I only shot in a dimly lit indoors scene, and the results were horrible (both 48 and 12 mpx.) Difficulties to focus. Noise was so bad, I've never seen anything like that before.
By comparison, the stock camera was like night and day, so much better.
I am using the following apk... GCam-6.2.030_Arnova8G2_Urnyx05-v1.8.apk
I also get better results with the stock camera, but I was assisting in the thread. Also if you look at the OnePlus 7 pro they have some exposure settings that do assist with the dark results.

No fault of your own, thanks for the extra info.
What do you mean "they have some exposure settings" though? Some kind of a config file?
Also, it seems like unless someone buys the phone and sends it to Arnova, the Google Cam may not really come to fruition for this phone.
At the same time, I'm well satisfied with the stock camera app. It just doesn't have the same processing power as the Google Cam at preserving detail.

anyone used gcam?

Seems this forum is rather silent but has any a80 users tried a gcam?
It's the same sensor as the OP7 pro, zenfone 6 etc so hopeful someone has had some luck

Just got the phone today and I'm using this GCAM port, for the S10 https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397913303 it seems to work fine, haven't done any test, just a quick pic and it does seem better quality over the stock Samsung.
I've been using it for about 4 hours and the camera does not fully turn every time, most times it does, but I've had that happen a few times already, where it almost flips all the way to selfie mode, but stops at about 80% of the flip. Interested to know if this is common, I've seen a Youtuber with this issue as well, so just wondering if it's "normal" or not.

already tried bsg arnova version & it's much better than stock in normal or portrait conditions but there's still missing features like live mode who give us actual bokeh effect. as far my experience gcam still lack on response time to open up / switching between mode camera maybe many more must be fixed considering that there has not been ported special for this device
