You should start by checking the information on the thread of the root you used. When I rooted mine I noted something about not rooting encrypted phones, so... yeah. But anyway - that's where you should go for help.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] psuedodevil:
Hi,

here is a beautiful fast & unique camera app from Moto x,

Action:

•Press the screen to captures picture

•Holding the screen activates the burst mode for capturing multiple pictures.

•Dragging up and down zooms in and out.

•Swiping fingers from left to right brings camera settings, and from right to left takes to the Gallery.

•Another convenient gesture is twisting your wrist twice (quickly) while holding the camera in hand launches camera anytime. It’s a great feature for a smartphone with no dedicated camera button.

Features:

•Single shots

•Burst shots

•Video recording

•Front-facing camera toggle

•Swipe to open settings

•Swipe to open gallery

•Touch to focus toggle

•Flash mode toggle

•Shutter sound toggle

•Geo-tag toggle

The camera app can be installed as a normal APK file. Installing this camera app does not replace the stock camera of your device and having installed it, you’ll see two different shortcuts in your app drawer.

Awesome camera app!! So has anyone got issue about video mode crashed? :confused:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] psuedodevil:
Nope. I have tried in my SGG both 4.1.2 & 4.2.2 version. it record video fluently. no crash.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] mysteryno46:
Yeah a Decent one it is..

Good one, but what does the SLO mode do? It seems locked for me. I can't use it. Anyone has an Idea.?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] mysteryno46:
Few others I've used

Have been using many camera apps currently. All have some or the other feature which I like. I use according to my purpose.

1. Camera Zoom FX: Using it for its Voice Activated feature and its Collage feature. Voice activated mode will click only when you make a noise or say click or cheeze etc. You can use it when you click your own pics or wanna have a group pic. :cowboy:

Use collage mode and click multiple pics and you'll get all of them in single pic. That's way quicker then click normal pics and then use collage.

It also has a stable indicator that indicates when the object or the phone is stable to click the pic.

2. Pro Capture: For providing many various Focus and Scene modes in one touch, especially the Macro mode and the Fibonacci Spiral is also one of the best feature it gives. The golden Spiral does make sense in pictures, I personally believe.

3. Fast Burst Camera: Name says it all. Soon I'm gonna check the Moto X for its continuous shots and if the result is better I might replace. But this app is quick good. It clicks like a machine gun. Some times even if I try to click it ones it quickly response to the second touch and takes another shot :D . Sorry that might be a negative point as well :p

4. Camera 2: This app is real fun if you like to take pictures and video like that of Old time (1940s, 1960s, etc), It has Sci-Fi mode similar to Green coloured Matrix like of stuff with number falling down in a line. Comic mode, Artistic mode. Best part of the app is that you cannot just click pictures but also take videos in those modes.

Well I used many others too but removed them for less or more their limited features.

I hope this might help you in any way. :good: ;)

slo mode

it is a slow motion video recording function. i never find a similar camera app with this function!

can anybody help me getting the slo mode (slow motion) camera app working on sgs3 PLEASE??!
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
You didn't address the long focus times and terrible shutter lag. Thanks for your effort but you are not convincing me of anything. You should also change your title to reflect if taking pictures of non moving objects only because anything that moves won't stay still long enough for the N5 to focus and actually snap the picture.

Your title also does not reflect your statement below either:

Of course I will admit the Lumia 1020 blows any other phone out of the water, but its hardly a fair fight..
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:

Please, post your opinions along with your own photos and videos taken with the nexus 5 :P

[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Shutter lag, something I forgot when first writing this, is completely software based, many of the free camera apps on the play store fix this issue and I am sure goggle will fix this with an update soon!

thanks for reminding me

I would also say thats not true, moving objects are not a huge problem its the focusing which again is only a massive problem if your taking photos of something very fast moving like sports, I also think this is easily fixed with software updates
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
I am yet to find a 3rd party app that fixes the issue. So far they all have some kind of issue of their own.

Until we see a fix from Google this is how the camera is acting today and any review or opinion should based on current usage and not in the hopes of an update. No one knows when Google will fix this if they can fix it at all.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Google are working on a fix to come out soon apparently but until then ive been using the Moto X camera apk much faster and generally much better. Another solution is to record a video and then tap the screen for instant photos. Once done just delete the video :)

Yep, im serious ;)
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
If you think the camera only has problems capturing fast moving things like sports you did not really use your camera enough to write up your opinion article here. lol

Not saying the camera can't be fixed with software, I am just saying you can't review the camera based on an if Google updates it. When Google updates it, you can then update your review to reflect the update. Until then your review should be a tell all of the camera today for people who might be deciding on the N5 not what might be later on.

If you can't tell I am extremely annoyed at the camera on the N5 and Google for releasing it like this. lol
[Nexus 5 General] Synyster06Gates:
I've been using the MotoX APK and getting great quality pictures, very little lag and overall a much better experience. If I need HDR then I will use the stock camera. Focus time and lag shouldn't matter in HDR anyway since it's not moving.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
My review is based on what ive experienced with it so far with the stock camera app and im not guessing at what Google will fix or wont fix, ive used the camera in very different conditions and only found a problem with very fast moving subjects, but its not a massive problem and can be solved with other camera apps that are available now for free. I don't see your problem?
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Please tell me what camera apps will help me right now because currently I cannot get any picture of my kid on my phone because he does not like to pose like a flower or a building. I am always willing to listen and have tried a few apps on the Play Store that need to be updated for the N5.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Like I said try the MotoX apk, does a much better job than the stock one in most everything but video and HDR+

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2380199
[Nexus 5 General] BoneXDA:
Based on the samples the camera does seem very capable (albeit with high level of inconsistency), but it's dynamic range is subpar. Look how much clipping is going on, nothing burned out on the 5S photo while mustache fella's body is clipped all over the place. I guess that's more of a lens issue than sensor, but I do not like that in normal condition (non HDR) you rarely see a photo without clipping.
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
Certainly is the best in it's price range. I don't expect the best camera in a 350€ phone, but it's very good for what I need it. If I need to take quality pictures, I have my nikon dslr, which blows any phone out of the water anyway.
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Yes, you make very good points, I also think its good that it has good dynamic range and optics rather than amazing colours as you can edit those in post. You cant change physical factors like lenses in post. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] flippingout:
Exactly, if you look at the N5 versus the others you will notice on both Finn and Jake there are overexposed, blown out portions you don't find on the others. This was a problem with the HTC One as well in my testing.

I am just hopeful Google releases a real fix, not some BS excuse for a camera fix. Having come from the HTC One I am happy with the overall quality of the N5's camera with the following caveats - most photos have to be shot in HDR+ and forget about pics of moving kids. I've actually been doing what was suggested earlier - take video and then quick tap the screen to take many single frames, keep the best. The one issue is if you do want to keep the video it stutters everywhere you took a photo - what the hell is with that!?

To the OP - I applaud your courage to buck the trend and make this review. Everyone's opinion counts!
[Nexus 5 General] walie:
lol, you didn't address any points brought up in the post you quoted. The dynamic range of the Nexus 5 SUCKS, waaaaaaaay to many highlights blown out, and you can't fix all of it in PP from my experiences.

And for action shots, FORGET ABOUT IT, its a nightmare in frustration. Too slow to load, too slow to focus, unbelievable shutter lag. By the time the picture is taken, the moment is long gone. Unlike other people who say the camera is fine, I don't just take pictures of inanimate objects.

Face it, the only reason you made this post is that you're justifying to yourself that the camera is good
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
So this camera seems to only take pictures in 1920x1080 (2MP) and is only about 300KB in size. Is there a way to change these settings?

That can also be why the shutter might seem quicker?
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Thank you. Im trying to change the way people view it. I think we go in to these camera comparisons looking for the wrong thing. After all these are mobile phones not DSLRs so if you want amazing photography go buy a camera, I just think the Nexus 5 has several tactical advantages that make it slightly better for documenting life than many others, the few miner problems appear to be basic software stuff. :cool:
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
No, im more than happy with my purchase, much more than happy. My phone is for android and the occasional photo, if i want to take pictures I use my 5D III, im not stupid. Im simply making this because I believe Google have the right idea.
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
You are claiming the Nexus 5 is the best camera phone we will ever own. No one here is expecting DSLR quality but if I am going to snap a picture when I am out, at this point I am grabbing my wifes HTC One and snapping away.

Maybe after a software update my mind will change but for now, the camera is to slow. Not saying the pictures are bad, it is just waaaaaaay to slow for my needs.

If I want DLSR quality photo's I will use my Nikon but I do want to be able to capture pictures with my phone other then flowers.
[Nexus 5 General] walie:
then the title "Nexus 5 is the best camera phone you will ever own, and heres why" is hilariously bad
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
I think the fact that your still commenting is also hilariously sad, if you have nothing constructive to say then why say it?
[Nexus 5 General] samagon:
Until they fix the shutter lag it's not really a usable camera for what a phone camera should be. Capturing quick moments when they happen.

Until they fix this shutter lag issue though I plan on taking full advantage of the cool hipster effects I can get out of this the nexus holga.
[Nexus 5 General] fireproofrev:
I have bought a Wide/Macro Lens like used in the Video and it is NOT working! The magnets from the lens are not attracting to the magnets in the phone, they are pushing away! Be aware, I don't thing there is a standardized way how the lens manufacturers build in the magnet since it is designed to hold to a metal ring and not to another magnet.

I tried to hold the lens just to take a test picture but the magnet interferes with the OIS, in some positions it caused hard vibrations within the camera lens that was also visible in the camera app preview picture.

I would be careful with this lenses! I think the magnets in the N5 are designed for the OIS and not for some cheap 3rd party lenses. Gladly my OIS still seems to work flawless (This seems also to be why Google is not advertising such feature)
[Nexus 5 General] Lownita:
I must say that the camera does everything I expect from a phone. It is a huge step forward from my N4 and that is enough for me. I agree that the shutter takes too long, but that will be fixed in the future, it is software. Other than that I am well pleased with my nexus 5 and its camera. Don't know what people are expecting. I especially lol'ed @ theverge.
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
The Verge was spot on. It is a good camera plagued by terrible software.

What we are expecting as users is a camera that can capture the moment. Picture quality hasn't been what the complaints are but rather the slow focus and shutter lag.
[Nexus 5 General] Dani897:
hopefully there will be a camera update soon. with all the rumors about the ois and sensor that allows for fast focus times (forgot what it is called or even if the phone actually has it) i was a bit disapointed about it's sensitivity to movement... maybe i'll try a 3rd party app.....

what app do you guys recommend? i want something simple. no filters and gimmickery... just takes good pics...
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
It doesn't have MEMS, I think that's what it's called. It was just another N5 rumor. If it had that feature we would not be having this conversation about the camera. Lol
[Nexus 5 General] hotleadsingerguy:
This. With better software this would most-likely be a much better camera.

As for this topic, stop it. Putting it next to an iPhone 5S and Galaxy S4 easily puts this camera to shame. Does it have good image quality? Yes; however, everything else is sub-par, relative to the previously-listed devices.

The speed of a smartphone camera is one of the most-important features. Being able to quickly get into the phone app and take a well-focused picture is paramount when choosing the best camera. In this case, both of those things are slow...even from already having the screen on and switching to the camera, it takes 4+ seconds to have the app prepared to take a picture. Pressing the shutter button takes another second or two to actually get the shot off.

Compare that 6+ seconds to the 1-2 seconds it takes to get a shot on the GS4 or iPhone 5S, and it's obvious there's an issue. Maybe that 4 seconds doesn't seem like a lot, but when you're trying to get a quick picture of something that's happening right in front of you, that extra 4 seconds can generally mean the moment is over. Add to that the very slow shutter speed (mostly because of the f/2.4 lens), and the camera just lacks. In order to get good low-light shots (which you definitely can), it has to be running a slow shutter. That's fine because the built-in OIS is incredible, but it means any kind of motion at all in the shot cannot be stopped.

Overall, the camera is great, in terms of image quality, but everything else needs *severe* work. The upshot is that a huge majority of it is software-based, but we can't assume Google is going to provide the patch quickly.

(All testing was done with my personal Galaxy S4, Nexus 5, and work-provided iPhone 5S. This was all done myself.)
[Nexus 5 General] Dani897:
i kinda figured that was just a rumor... but still expected a good sensor with a fast focus.... apparently oppo will make a phone with a mems sensor, but i can only afford a nexus...
[Nexus 5 General] MrBelter:
People keep banging on about shutter lag when there isn't any, what they are experiencing is the phone working out the exposure and focus and generally in a poorly lit environment. In good light my N5 takes the image nearly instantly when I press the volume keys or the in screen button.

Reasonably wide aperture? LMAO I wish my Canon L lenses were "only" f2.4, f2.4 is an incredibly fast lens.

Wishful thinking

I think the title is a bit of wishful thinking. I bought a Nexus 5 and have been playing with it for a few days since ordering it within 1st hour of release. But it isn't living up to the hype that built up. Today's new GSMArena's review is fairly objective & comprehensive and has actual test data to backup the lackluster battery & camera quality (you can customize what other cameras to compare the same shots, iPhone 5S, Nexus 4, Galaxy S4, HTC One...etc). Assuming the focus software issue is fixed soon (keeps continuous focus all the time even after a tap, which should lock focus & exposure on a point).

SO much hatred for the N5 camera.. Just because OP's title was bad does not mean you bash him. He makes some good points. The camera is great, but plagued with software issues that should be sorted out soon. The camera is definitely more capable than the s4 and comparable to the iPhone 5s.

Nexus 5 camera is the best????

Hahahaha.

Funniest thread I've read all week.
[Nexus 5 General] alen1901:
Guys, what the ****??!! You cant compare galaxy s4 13mp camera which has a massive software corrections with a 8mp camera with barebones software. Also htc one camera is not better in any way, it has 4mp and software corrections, and it CANT capture the same detail level as 8mp camera. Sure, pic looks great, but try to zoom it, or crop it, details get washed out and image is choppy. Who cares about night shooting, its like, 1 night photo out of 10 taken. Also, to point out, nexus phone is a developer phone, always a room to improve, even unofficialy, and its not a damn photocamera made exclusively to take awesome photos without any effort. You know google released new photo enhancing tool in g+ and new editor in gallery? Use it! You want more saturation? Add it. You want more contrast or whatever? Add it. Jesus. Also remember how much money you pay for nexus 5.. Iphone and galaxy s4 cost a lot, so they need to improve some things (like camera (software)) to justify the price. Dont just complain and search for things to complain. Go and buy s4 or lumia 1020 if you dont like n5 camera. Simple as that.

[Nexus 5 General] athani:
Nice try, OP. It's a fine phone but there's no reason to go overboard. Fair criticism is just as important as giving credit where it's due. How else will the manufacturer improve the next time? I'm rather disappointed by the camera.
[Nexus 5 General] br0adband:
That's pretty much the only thing of consequence so far in this whole thread: it's all about personal opinions since there's no "best" for everyone all at the same time. As for the Nexus 5 being the "best camera phone you will ever own," get back to me when the next flagship comes out... from any smartphone maker 'cause it'll probably be "better," and then repeat that ad nauseum. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Eliad Kimhy:
I disagree with some of the negativity. While I agree that the focus is not as fast as I'd like it to be, I feel that the pictures it produces can be beautiful. I've had such hits and misses though, that it's hard to really judge accurately.
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Sorry, going to have to disagree with you here. There is a difference between added features and enhancements over just bad software that needs to get fixed. The N5 software is bad and needs a fixin. No one is asking for Google to add more features in the N5's camera we are simply asking them to fix what they currently gave us. There is a difference.

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------

Sounds like you are being a switch hitter here. You say you disagree with the negativity but then you agree the focus is slow and state you have had plenty of hits and misses and can't really judge the camera accuratley.

So what you are saying is you have a good camera that doesn't work well? If it doesn't work well, then we have a problem!

If Google fixes the software for better focusing and quicker shutter times I will then say the N5 has a great camera.

it is sensitive to movement on the normal settings. unless of coarse you always use action shot mode where the image stabilization is active...
