Hello to everyone!

Could someone with deep knowledge of 'how camera apps work' please explain, how can this be:

On Motorola Moto G (1st gen., XT1033) running CyanogenMod11 (4.4.4) all camera apps freeze on taking a picture after some uptime (standard Android camera, Google Camera, Camera FV5, Instagram, Viber built-in camera, Facebook built-in camera, etc. - all freeze on snapping a photo);

BUT "Motorola stock cam" from the first post (the flashable zip one) still works and takes pictures!

I've opened that zip, it contains no libs, just the app itself, so it must use the 'system' camera hardware drivers and libraries. Why does it still work then while other cam apps don't? Magic?
[Moto G General] Hugo_PM:
Could someone make a flashable zip of modified camera apk (4.0.75)? Thanks in advance
[Moto G General] Hugo_PM:
I did it by myself, but you have to install it manually :P I odex the MotoCamera apk (v4.0.75). To install it you have to put these 2 files in /system/priv-app and set permissions to rw-r--r--, then reboot and you are done :D

Does not work in Moto Maxx XT1225 Android 4.4.4 :(:(
[Moto G General] c0080900v:
Any way to install it for my 1st gen Moto G (XT1031) on CrDroid's latest build. I extracted the zip and moved the files to said folder with and set the permissions using ES File Explorer.. No matter how many times I try my camera version's always this as shown in the screenshot. I also attached a few other screenshots.
[Moto G General] handersonluiz:
Thanks! But I do not have root :(
[Moto G General] ReOmbra:
The stock Motorola camera in lollipop some user say that show a little improve of the quality.. and decrease the ' paint ' effect ..

If someone have yet the ota.. And would share the new apk for unlock the advance option will be interesting..to see the improvement..
[Moto G General] crisagler:
Hi guys, i'm on XT1032 with brazil lollipop OTA, and after a couple of shoots I can confirm, in my opinion, that camera quality are definitly better than KK, specially with macro.

See attached images and judge by yourself. In the third picture you can notice that noise reduction had been reduced, it's no longer aggresive as before.And I hadn't changed advanced settings, yet, so it could be better.

Cheers, and sorry for my english :D
[Moto G General] abbyyyy:
Any improvement with the front camera?
[Moto G General] eddydc1:
Thanks for pictures, really looking better :)
[Moto G General] nogej:
Looks very pretty. Hope they'll release for XT1039 soon.

How Google Camera looks, by the way?
[Moto G General] eddydc1:
How about taking RAW pictures? Android L supports it, right?
[Moto G General] crisagler:
I got soft-bricked my phone, so i couldn't test any longer :sly: Going back to CM11.

As for the advanced settings, they were a lot more, like luma adaptation, morpho denoise (with MNVR and MNSR options ,if i remember well), MCE, auto and manual DC offset, options that in KK were greyed out. About the RAW pictures, i didn't found any options in the stock camera , maybe with another camera app. Sorry for my english :)

[Moto G General] Bleak3993:
Which zip have you flashed? or maybe if somebody could make a zip of the latest version of the camera would be great too
[Moto G General] madman:
If you are rooted, it is always best to edit build.prop so you can use latest camera app with timely updates from play store..

Doesn't work on Moto X 2014 Lollipop. Cannot parse package.
[Moto G General] rmrbpt:
Already had commented on that.

I had a bug downloading the file with Chrome on my phone.

The apk would show that error because Chrome would only download a couple ok kbs of the file.

Try another browser on your phone or download it from your pc ;)
[Moto G General] epraes:
There's a newer build of the Motorola Camera in the Brazillian Lollipop 5.0.1 released yesterday. It's build 4.0.7.6. I post the apk in case someone wants to modify it to reveal the ladybug icon (I can't do it myself).
[Moto G General] sheva_b:
moto g lollipop

How can I install this camera at Moto G GPE 5.0.1?
[Moto G General] zhukoz:
Yep Firefox worked for me, after the parsing error message using Chrome.

Have struck an interesting problem I haven't read here before though

(running stock Kitkat 4.4 on an only weeks old XT 1039 Moto G LTE)

Apk file opens OK - check

Get to the long list of Permissions page....click 'Install'....multiple times lol...nothing. Button will not 'deploy', if you get what I mean. Thought it could have been my lockscreen (Magic Locker app running through Nova Launcher, so I disabled it with Greenify)

Still no luck activating the install button.

A pity, I really wanted to try out the improved camera functions...have added Google camera which was a slight improvement on the stock cam, but I also wanted to see if this might fix the distinct 'blue' colouring which results when using the stock flash utility. I don't take many indoor night shots but this blue cast really makes it unusable.

Any light anyone can shed on this or the install issue would be appreciated :)
[Moto G General] zhukoz:
*ahem* not called noob for nothing, right Lol

Fixed install issue by unchecking/re-checking 'Allow 3rd party developers' option...it must not have kicked in properly the first time.
[Moto G General] rlb4:
Works on my 2014 Moto X pure edition with lollipop. Downloaded and installed using Chrome.
[Moto G General] zhukoz:
Try using Firefox instead. Chrome also would not work for me, would only partially download the file

[Moto G General] Zammo76:
Hi

From the first post on this thread it would appear to suggest you can access the advanced camera settings by bringing up the camera settings wheel and then hitting the icon (ladybug) in the bottom right corner, however when I do this I don't have this icon. I am using a stock moto x 2014 running lollipop, any help appreciated.
[Moto G General] zhukoz:
You will have to download the .apk mentioned in the first thread [sorry cannot link yet but the quote is below]

GodOfPsychos has done a brilliant job bringing it to our attention; after a couple of noob teething troubles (download with firefox if possible) I have the app up and running on my LTE and it seems a definate improvement. All kudos to him, the developer and juanchotazo99 and others for contributing to the knowledge in this thread.

Pity that Motorola seems (IMO) to have decided the Moto g just isn't pricey enough to warrant even a simple tweak of the camera app settings from their end.
[Moto G General] jimcapraro:
works on the Motorola DROID TURBO
[Moto G General] zhukoz:
I have tested the .apk linked app on my non-rooted LTE XT 1039 and the quality is obviously better exposure-wise than stock. It seems almost exactly the same as the Google camera app in that regard.

All 3 are set on HDR. Moto Hidden settings cam configured to QC Denose - OFF, Morpho Denoise - greyed out, QC Tintless - ON. As recommended.

Appropriate place to link to some pics? Wasn't sure so mods please advise if not.

All is well on my droid maxx, but I lost quick capture (wrist twisting) action. How do I get it back?
[Moto G General] mtolgae:
app crash

Thanks for the effort. until updating to lollipop 5.0.2 (asia through zip) it used to be working. but now the app crashes upon taking a photo. it doesn't happen when I use the stock camera or any other camera apps. my phone is first gen moto g XT1033. I tried reinstalling but it didn't work.
[Moto G General] TokedUp:
Post the camera app from 5.0.2 maybe someone can mod it.
[Moto G General] juanchotazo99:
Does anyone with moto's lollipop (5.0.2) see an improvement in picture quality with the stock lollipop app? That's the question. If there isn't an improvement then all these 20 pages of complaints and pictures posted in motorola's camera feedback thread were in vain.

Does L camera work in moto's lollipop? It implements the new imaging pipeline (API2) with RAW support, among other improvements native to lollipop. I see in its thread more links to other updated camera apps with API2 support, too, so there's a lot to choose from. If these new features are available then the camera can at least be salvaged with external processing on a PC. If not, well... I don't think I'd buy another motorola phone in the future, not with all the feedback above.
[Moto G General] raju sesharaj:
Sorry to say but it didnt work

tried both L camera and Manual Camera both are incompatible. I already feel disappointed
[Moto G General] kalafior12:
on which ROM ?
[Moto G General] mtolgae:
Don't know how to do it (not rooted) and Google was of no help. If someone tells me how, I can post it here.

By the way I did not observe a change in terms of image quality in Lollipop camera, but of course I am no expert at this.

New version of Motorola camera available on apk mirror. It's version 5, with material design icons.

Changing release-keys to test-keys in build.prop doesn't work anymore. Can't get ladybug icon to appear.
[Moto G General] primewell:
Been reading the whole thread and I must say, I'm quite pissed off with moto... got my moto g LTE about a week ago and the camera sucks big time. Especially with flash on absolutely unusable. I bought the moto g, cos I thought it would be a good replacement for my Samsung Ace 2 (which it actually is) but the camera on my Ace 2 is A LOT better. Can't even compare it (considering taking pictures with flash on).

I mean ok, moto g focuses faster, but pics are slightly blurry, have loads of noise and are super red tinted (running cam app 4.0.7.5 with QC disabled). Can only hope L will fix things, otherwise my moto g LTE will go right back and I'll get the 2nd gen (presumably better camera, but 5' is too large for my taste).
[Moto G General] epraes:
Does anyone know how to enable the ladybug menu in the latest 5.0.7.1 Camera app?

The build.prop trick is not working for me anymore.
[Moto G General] kalafior12:
Little offtop. Is there already an camera application using API2 on our moto g ?
[Moto G General] ZorbarPT:
Hello,

I've managed to get this wonderfull app to work on Sony Xperia SP. For those that know this Sony model, besides the 8MP camera , the photos are terrible.

With this Moto X camera app, the quality of the photos increase a lot. The problem is the version I've, i can't access the settings (no lady bug whatever).

I've downloaded the "Motorola Camera v3.3.20.8 (unlocked hidden menu)." version from this post, but after i place it on the phone and try to install it, gives me error. I've tryed to download with Firefox, IE, Chrome, but no results.

Any solution?

Regards

Marco

[Moto G General] mtolgae:
I have been using this Camera+ 3.3.20.8 until updating to the Lollipop. Now using the one jefish shared. Thanks to all those who worked for making the camera better. However I must say that disabling Wavelet NR or now QC denoise does not make our moto g's camera much better. You either go with the original and have extremely softened photos or with the one here and have photos noisy as hell. Let's face it Moto G's camera is way worse than many other phones released 5 years ago. What a disappointing camera for such a decent phone.

I would say s5360 and even smaller non-smart 2.5 MP Nokia camera far better for its clarity to its limited features. I remember the non-smart 1.3 MP Nokia camera in good olden days to take better clarity pictures.

How come those manufacturers tune minimal MP camera to finer pic?

Nowadays MegaPixels raises but not the output. Yes I remember an article on MP is not measuring scale for better pictures just like watts for sound.

Own Eyes and ears are the best judges. Its like we see good performance results in antutu benchmark for phone but phone in real feels laggy.

Cannot blindly agree as moto g is a good phone.

HD should mean more resolution and higher depth for zoom but HD in moto g just means increase in file size.

My 21inch Samsung DNIe Jr. CRT TV provides better clarity than present HD LCD TVs. Just increase the sharpness you see more detail. Including make up of artists :)

LCD LED TVs provide high contrast ratio and apply more darker patches eg: for black hair and you cannot see hair waving or twisted.

Is technology going in correct direction in name of HD and UHDs? Can human eyes differentiate more than 16 million colors?

[Moto G General] Mustajab Is'haq:
So I posted this in the Lollipop update Troubles / Grievances / Features thread. But nobody replied. Since this is a thread dedicated to the Moto Camera I guess you guys will be able to answer my query.

I read somewhere that Motorola didn't implement the new Camera API's introduced in Lollipop by Google. Is it because the Camera doesn't support these new API's or is there some other reason?

I was just curious since it would be pretty cool to take RAW pics and fiddle around with them in Photoshop. Thanks guys.
[Moto G General] lost101:
I don't believe it's just so with Motorola phones. My understanding is that the new Camera APIs are only functional on Nexus devices. Android 5.1 or later will probably be when support for other hardware arrives.
[Moto G General] Mustajab Is'haq:
Oh I see. Thanks for the info!
[Moto G General] DustArma:
Not even all of the Nexus devices have the new Camera API, my understanding is that the Nexus 10 and 7 don't support it
[Moto G General] fabiozon:
Actually, the new camera API (Camera2) needs higher-end hardware for those features to be enabled. Sadly, our phone will never get a full implementation of the API; though I can't be sure the some of it's functions won't be available at some point in time.

[MENTION=2476451]romracer[/MENTION]

Do you know if your exposed module could work also in Moto G Stock Camera with Lollipop?
[Moto G General] romracer:
Check my post just before yours for a modified copy. I'm at work so I don't have the source handy, but if I remember right the newer versions check test-keys but they also check build type (eng, userdebug, etc).

Sorry, I don't know. It hooks "com.motorola.camera" and a particular function in that package. So if the Moto G camera is called "com.motorola.camera" (you can check in /data/data or TiBu details for the app can say) and if it has the "isMenuEnabled()" function, then it should work. Does the Moto G get the Moto Camera update from the Play Store? If so, you can update to that and then the Xposed module will definitely work.

The module shouldn't hurt anything to try it either. At worst, it will simply not find the function/package to hook and you won't get the Ladybug in camera settings.

[Moto G General] lost101:
This article covers the current state of Camera2 API. Things don't look good for even high end hardware. For example, the HTC One M9 does not support RAW DNG via Camera2 API. If Motorola are unable or refuse to deliver, CyanogenMOD could still prove to be a way to access better support for Camera2 API on Moto G.
