Custom rom or camera experience? - OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion

So I just wonder what do you prefer...Do you use custom rom or stay in OOS due to camera/other reasons?
Also I would like to ask you how much worse is camera in custom roms I have not tried yet and dont have the time right now

camera sucks in most custom ROMs, but there are a few that have OOS camera working with portrait mode, and i have a hard time telling the difference between them and stock

Running PureFusion and the camera seems perfectly fine to me :/

I've been using the Google Camera with HDR+ and have been very happy with.

HDR+ on OnePlus 3t to make its camera better than OnePlus 5 in low light

I know there are many posts on XDA about HDR+ on oneplus 3T, but I can't understand why oneplus 3 can't support HDR+ , but Moto z can support it successfully(which has a a very inferior device as compared to 3t). I know our device has everything which is required for HDR+. Please I request you all to try all methods to make HDR+ working. It will be a huge huge improvement in our 3t camera and make it comparable to pixel or even s8 camera in low light. I know our device has a great potential even in camera department but necessary software processing is not available to utilise great hardware. I am not rooted and not knowledgeable about developing. You can try spoofing app to think it work on pixel/nexus 6p/5x or make modified Google camera app or do anything which make HDR+ working. We already have lens blur on Google cam which is working great for me for both front and back camera. Only low light performance of this device is not good as compared to nexus 6p of my friend only when HDR+ on, but in all scenerio the camera of my 3t rocks if HDR+ off on nexus 6p. Developer guys do help me. Also it will make oneplus 3t camera very comparable to OnePlus 5 / pixel/ s8 / iPhone 7 or even better in few terms. Do please do help it will be great for all OnePlus 3t users.?
I think it's not impossible different sensor with different pixel size in pixel and Nexus phones
Nope I don't think same because HDR+ works taking multiple shots at different exposer and combining in one by involving multiple process and producing a brighter and clear image at low light and great dynamic range. Yeah I agree pixel size and sensor are different but it can make difference in picture quality and not agree with HDR+ is not possible because it's software based not hardware and if so chooser is same for processing pictures
It is possible!

Even though the hdr+ option is there, there is no processing. It does not show the processing message, and the picture is not good quality.
Freedom os 14 (OB12 unrooted)
Oneplus 3T will receive Android 8.0 in 2017. Hope they will do it in official update
Can somebody with a 7.1.2 based rom check if hdr+ processing is working or not?
Is it me or is there not much difference in hdr+ in this camera and normal hdr on the OnePlus camera?

I can confirm not working in 7.1.2. Tried it on the latest RR and Pheonix AEX. The option is there but as others mentioned, there is no processing after the shot.
Here's a camera with HDR +. You do not need to make any changes to build.prop. Install as usual apk.
In the settings camera you set HDR + works constantly and turn off the flash!!!
Please search GCam_4.4.012.156195200-41155109_MI5S_MIUI_7.0_N5X.apk (I can not send a download link because there are no 10 posts, Write to me and I will send a link in a personal)

Are you running OOS 3.1.6 or a OOS Beta?
On the latest Beta 21 I noticed that the app sometimes hangs for quite a while and seems frozen.
It sometimes force closes too, while still saving the last photo. HDR+ works fine though.
Somebody with the apk, please link it here!
Thanks!

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.

Nokia 8 camera app for moto g5 plus ( potter )

Hi guys. Anonymous here.
recently I have uploaded the MI A1 camera app . Which was taking better photos. With fast capturing and focusing speed.
This time I am uploading the Nokia 8 camera app.
I have tested the camera app in stock. It was taking very good hdr pictures. Better than mi a1 and also stock camera.
It was capturing good front camera pictures. With white flash screen.
Bugs : you tell me.
Try out yourself. Thanks

This needs camera 2 API to be activated or rooted?
I'm looking for a better way to take photos but almost every way i found seems to require custom ROMS, camera 2 API enabled, etc. Phone is under warranty and i can't mess with the system at all...

Hi @MathePro, thread is being closed since a GCam thread already exists. It is not productive to have multiple threads for one mod, and it is against the forum rules too. Request you to continue the discussion in the existing thread, if need be.

GCam Mod

Seeing as folk will eventually ask about this, I have done a few tests and found 1.3 working fine from here LINKY for your GCam enjoyment.
This isn't my work, I'm just linking to it. There are a number of modders that have worked on it.
So, I downloaded the 1.3a and after taking the photo in HDR+ it got stucked at 70% of the "Processing HDR+" Could you help me?

GCam 7.3 by Parrot043
I tried this one, stopped using it when I discovered a crashing issue when turning on stabilization in video mode.
GCam 7.3 by Arnova8G2
This one works very well, haven't noticed any glitches that'd prevent me from using it. The live view frame rate in the photo mode can be low at times, that's my only complaint. Night sight works, photos, hdr+, video, and video stabilization. Astro more looks to be working, but haven't had any clear skies to experiment with.

found some gcam mods with this function, but they are crashing when you try to change the lens
I tried a few version of the gcamera on my moto g8 power. They certainly offer way more detail than the stock app.
However, how do you change lenses? There is no way to switch to wide or telephoto. Long pressing camera or gallery does nothing.
Hi guys, which camera modules are in moto g power?there is no information on the official website
Can anyone confirm that it's working with the different lenses, and if so what version are you running? Without access to the multiple lenses, the app is severely limited.
Just a couple of other Gcam mods that work nicely with the Moto G Power. Hyper Cam https://www.gcambrasil.com.br/hypercam and PixelCam Plus https://pixelcambrasil.com.br/en/ Both seem to work nice and fast on lower series Snapdragon 6xx phones. I cant say if Astrophotography works but did try night sight and that did. There is no Top Shot available. So I keep the Parrot one on my phone too.
I will test it on my new Moto G8 Power coming to me ) I hope USD 179.99 is good deal, for factory unlocked international version.
