It's so misleading. I don't know why they thought this was a good design option for the camera setting.

Exactly, this is so stupid, why do you have to do it this way? My wife for example is not really tech genius, she would never ever guess to do it. And many other things with this bad Pie (half baked) update

[Q] alternative camera app

So based on you're experience which camera app would you suggest? I am kind of shocked to find that the camera app is so slow. My Blackberry Q10 is very quick compared to my Turbo.

I really like the Google camera app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera&hl=en
Unfortunately on the turbo it still does have some lag. Hopefully that will be fixed with future OTA updates.
The main thing I like about Google's app is the option to take photosphere images and panoramas. I know the stock camera app does panoramas but Google's app allows for much higher quality images.
I have taken some really awesome images using this app.

Latest, 3.6.7 with permissions removed. Definitely works for me. Maybe restart too - sometimes it seems like camera apps can lock another out.

Ahhhh.... I was going down to the second post and installing the other camera. Nice!! Going to have to play around with it more tomorrow. Thanks again!!!
Thanks to everyone who posted. I actually really like both of those options and will probably use both. Anyone ever try any fisheye lenses?

Do you see this as well on your install?
Yes, those resolutions are correct for the Turbo camera (even though they say a lower MP).
The 5248x3936 is the same as the full 21mp (Standard) mode, and the 5248 x 2952 is the same as the 15.5mp (Widescreen) mode. Assuming that this is what your asking?
Exactly what i was asking. I figured it was cosmetic. Just wanted to be sure.
I will the first update might have sped up my camera. When I left the store it was slow, as I read about. Next day I searched for updates and got one. My camera is normal now. The only issue I notice is swiping to pictures from the camera, it swipes right away, then the screen "blinks" real fast. Might try a different camera to compare though.

Perhaps more tinkering in the ladybug settings could help, or the ability to reduce mp size further?

Yep, other than the resolution displaying wrong it worked good too. I ended up installing the moto camera+ and taking a bunch of samples to compare the two, found it to not take any better pics than the moto camera + with the settings unlocked.

[Q] Does the L Camera, or camera2 api, work on the Nexus 6?

It would seem silly if not, but I haven't seen confirmation. I've just seen that it works on the Nexus 5 and not on the Nexus 4.

No problem, I'm still looking for a decent camera app as well. I wish I could use the stock LG one from my G3 on here but I don't think it will work.
Did you try L camera too ?
His git is here go into it and download the app

Hit view code and scroll down it's Lcamera-debug just updated today

It opens and I can take pictures but it crashed after that. I tried to mess with the settings in the app but then it crashed again.
I want to use the moto x 2014 camera app but I need root to install it. It fails to install normally, are there any other good alternatives to a basic camera app like the moto one or the LG ?

There's no option for it as of right now. Also the photos look a little worse than the stock camera app when I compared them. The app has potential if you can edit the photos saved as a RAW format.

I see by the pics that there are a number of options that end in x60. Is that frame rate? What do the videos look like when you use those? The assumption is that the playback is still going to do 30 fps and if shot at 60fps then the playback would be slo-mo.
Also what are the grayed out options and the blue options, if you know?

He meant hdr+ (a feature in gcam)
yes. but you had to abandon stock rom.
Instead of stock,u can get hal3 support on aosp9.0 (SODP)
And it unsteady.
you will lose 960fps ,4k record,etc.

Front camera notification light

I just got my unit. I can get a spining white ring on the front facing camera when I lift to wake with face unlock, but I can not find the option to turn it on for phone calls and messages etc.... I get edge lighting for 10 seconds or so.. I would love to have this option as I saw it active on a random video but I cant find the video again... I am fully updated with the software as well... does anybody have any ideas or know how to enable this feature? Thx!
Not a feature (yet) we all hope that Samsung will do it...
On reddit the consensus is this is a feature that would be in a future update. I saw screenshots from Samsung support confirming this.

The options he gave are still helpful for now though, as not only can you enable the rear flash, but the front screen to flash yellow when you receive a message. It's something at least for now. I just hope Samsung pushes out an update to enable the ring around the camera to be used. Just makes total sense since they removed the LED notification. :fingers-crossed:

An update got pushed to my S10e just a bit ago. Might be the one you wanted?
Circle of Light does not exist. The only thing that exist is the possibility as this is the actual screen and not any special hardware. The same edge lighting like concept can be used to illuminate pixels around the camera. If samsung does not do something, let them release the source and give us access to api's. we can do it ourselves. We just need to modify the edge lighting feature to shrink it to camera cutout and increase timings etc. I am feeling so lost without the notification LED. My pre order does not have a cancellation option. If I had I would have cancelled.
Will the ring light has potential burn in risk?
Should be. If you closely take a look at the camera cutout and the front camera animation, you'd see it's a part of the actual screen. So, It have amoled burn in risk unless or if samsung can access the pixels through hardware directly without actually turning on the whole screen.

which settings?
Seems to be a rather stable version. Can someone confirm that the 3x and 10x zoom lenses are not possible to access with 3rd party apps and that they are blocked by Samsung (not listed in "Camera2 probe" app)? The different download versions seem to be a workaround for that but i think that does not work anymore?
"different package signatures, they are needed for some devices whose access to additional objectives is only at application with a specific package name." --> com.samsung.android.scan3d or com.samsung.android.ruler
I don’t get access to the zoom lenses with 3dscan and ruler version. (S21U Exy.)
