We all know z2 has a solid stock camera app. But on cm and cm based rom we cannot use it
So what are you guys using it? Any comparisons of photos taken with different camera apps? And how do photos compare to stock rom? Do share your experience
Im using stock camera app, but Pictures Come a bit too bright for me. Could anyone recommend any good camera app?
It doesn't matter what camera app you use really, as CM (and all AOSP ROM's) use the same camera driver, and Kali used a hack to get it to work using Z1 code (don't know the actual term) so... It will always be substantially poor compared to stock. I know this thread isn't actually a comparison between the two, I'm just stating the facts and eventually I'm sure Kali (or another Dev) will fix it and use proper Z2 cam code. Then, we will have a truly next to flawless AOSP camera and ROM.
I'm just using Google Camera for lack of a better one. It's not great but it gets the job done.
The camera on both stock and CM give the same result. Its only the post processing that the stock app does that changes the result.
For testing, install Google camera on stock and click pictures. Do the same on CM and compare your results.

Hey hey try out this Camera :laugh: It looks exactly like the stock Nexus 5 camera and it is the best I have tried. :victory:
Tip: The Google Play Store will view it as the Google Camera you are using and will ask for an update , I recommend you not to do it
ENJOY !!! :good: :good: :good:
Please hit "thanks" if I helped you

Yeah this problem made me switch back to stock
Hopefully we will see some camera improvements when Android L have been released and CM updated.
Using Google Camera on Carbon. Shots are great!

Just a quick tip guys, I had issues with low quality photos in CM11, I tried ProCapture app and in good daylight the pictures turn out to be good and as good as stock, in low light you'll have to tweak the settings a bit but you can manage to get pretty decent pics. SO yeah, for the benefits CM11 gives, I can completely live with it by using a third party app
I see that MIUI port has stock XZ2 camera. If so, is there any way to use on CM11 as well? Any tips?

I have a stock camera (4.4.4) and I am not happy at all with my camera. :/ Most photos are not clear, landscape mode takes bad photos (one part of the photo is good/zoomed, biger part is blur).
I heard some stories about Z2 with good camera and Z2 with bad camera, can thia be true, although it sounds ridicilous.

Agree.. I tried cm11 snapshot m12, All pictures of mine turns out too bright. The front one especially pixalated with weird coloured dots like a 0.5mp camera which I used to have when I had an old Nokia phone. Other than this, cm is a perfect rom.. Hope there are still development on this while with all the hype on lollipop(not sure if the camera code will get better by then)
I recommend the OnePlusOne camera! It's faster, more organized in terms of menus and I think that the image quality is little bit better because of the filters used... :good:

I use that one with that setting un advanced settings - Base : pixel2018 HW zsl hdr(need YUV) https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-urnyx05/
Latest one by arnova works fairly well, you need to adjust some settings as mentioned above.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/
Night sight does not work, recording video does not work and HDR does not work at all, so very little reason to use the app over the stock camera app.

There is no proper gcam port for m21 yet and I don't think it's gonna come anytime soon.
Gcam isnt any better than any other 3Rd party camera app right now as it can't use google's hdr+, so stock camera will be better.

Hi XDA,
Can anyone please pull the stock Asus Zenfone8 app(as an .apk) so we can use it on custom ROMs ?
I compared the stock Asus camera app with all availabe apps before installing the LineageOS and the difference is huge, specially comparing it to the OpenCamera.
The stock app is way better.
I wish I can have it on my LineageOS now
Appreciate your help so much!
I have attached the extracted APK here, I hope it works!:

Well, I was hoping it was some kind of img file. But it's a zip with a .bin file. Not a clue as to what I can do with that. Would be great to get the stock camera. The Lineage camera really sucks and I cannot get any of the gcam versions to work either...
If that helps, I was able to get OK results on the stock ROM from the GrapheneOS Camera app. You can get it from their github repository. Note that it is very basic and lacks any night mode or any kind of special features. Also I just noticed that it does not offer the option of switching lenses. Maybe it is possible but I didn't search on that subject. Here are some comparison images

Hi, I tested it as well and had no sucess. As a developer I also tried to unpack the apk and take a look, imeediatly noticed that it has some google dependencies which in my case a LineageOS with no google will not work, as well I saw some properties and configurations files so maybe these has some data related to the phone of the good guy who ported it out.
The stock camera app is way better than the most famous free camera apps out there, specially in night photography, the OpenCamera for example leaves you night photos so so noisy and it sets the screen brightness on max with no way to change that (not that I know).
Lets please keep this thread running to find out the best camera for this phone with AOSP and no google dependneces.
Tested the Witchaya Port of GCam yesterday. No luck with Version 8 (just crashes), but Version 7 first seemed to run. Yet it freezes the captured image constantly after 3 seconds. Tapping onto a different camera mode wakes the image again for 3 seconds - just to freeze again afterwards. Tried all of the supplied xml config files - no success. I'm running on latest LineageOS nightly without the GApps...
I believe if a good developer can take a look at the stock Asus app and figure out why it doesn't work.
Maybe it's just a deal of adjusting some configuration file.
On another thread, what's the best free Camera app you're using ?
I'm using the OpenCamera since it has lots of options, but its photo quality is not the best and night shoots are so noisy.
Asus camera is dependant of asus framework . Most likely nogo to get it to run on non as roms.
Its not as simple as config files, it much deeper integrated in asus framework

Any news regarding cam so far? Been fiddling around with opencamera and the lineageOS cam, but the results are rather disappointing.
Would appreciate any further development in this case.
Thanks, happy new year!

Same exact situation here
Just gave the GrapheneOS camera app a try, it looks more promising, hope they will keep on upgrading it.
I raised an issue for supporting the ultra-wide lens as well, hope they will work on it.
It's good to keep an eye on this app, thanks to @Adaoh for mentioning it.
Happy new year!

Nice hint, thank you! Just installed it, seems to work fine except for the ultra-wide lens, as you mentioned already.
I have tried OmniRom, and it has an Asus camera port that works I will be asking the maintainer if he is fine with me sharing the APK.

Thank you @Adaoh ! Unfortunately it does not work for me. After granting access the app displays "Camera not ready. Try again later" (translated from german) and exits. Obviously depending on some other components not available in LineageOS...

Yeah they warned me about that on the OmniRom telegram group, a friend tested on his Pixel 4a and it worked, so I assumed it would have worked on ZF8
