But you can not get anywhere near the full quality of the camera sensor without the stock samsung camera app which is why non touchwiz ROMs have terrible camera quality, so there is no way a 3rd party app could give more detail than stock as the camera sensor needs the drivers and framework only available from the stock app

And as for things like the sky being over exposed with stock, use Pro mode and change the settings to suit the environment, or tap the sky section of the image before taking the photo so the exposure auto adjusts

Honestly I gave this camera app a good try and could not get better pictures from it at all, in fact every single shot I got better pictures with stock

And the sample images people are posting I cannot see it being better quality either, maybe HDR works better but you can achieve that with stock if you know how to use it

Looking at some of the sample images in this thread, it seems to have the exposure set much lower, for example the image of the van and the sky, the photo where the sky has detail, under the van is very dark, and opposite for the one with the bright sky, meaning you can get the exact same result changing the exposure on the stock app

EDIT - Portrait mode seems about the only cool feature but gonna guess that could also be achieved with selective focus mode on the stock app
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vscoiskindacool:
You're probably unexperienced with photography. I'm a professional photographer (not my career, but something I do on the side to make some money to spend around), and it's absolutely clear to my eyes the level of detail smearing and large radius excessive sharpening that the stock camera has. This is why the Google camera provides better detail, simply because Samsung's processing isn't making the best use of the sensor data.

Also, Samsung's pro mode is a joke because of the lack of HDR. You expose for the sky there and everything will be super dark, unless you shoot in raw and lift the shadows later, but then you'll also get a ton of noise etc.

Come on peeps we are not here to discuss what takes better pictures, if you don't like this great Mod we'll move on there's nothing to see here, now for the rest of us that are enjoying this great Mod but are inpatient- please more respect for our great developers and stop asking for updates! Remember the developers do this for free and they don't owe us nothing so be patient. Also try searching before you post, I keep seeing the same questions over and over.

anybody tried to take portrait mode with group of people??

today i tried to take selfie with 5 people, but it detect faces of only some of people. even in sunlight it cant detect all people faces. in result those face are blur
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gabriellovesmusic:
Take a look at these shots. HDR on, no tap to focus nor decreasing exposure. All I did was point and shoot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Vscoiskindacool:
Never said you can't get good pictures with the stock camera app. I use it more than the Google camera app, actually, due to the Rainbow issue, and while it does lack clarity and could crush the blacks a bit more, apart from the detail smearing and oversharpening issues we talked about, it still takes great pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rajarshi10:
Google Camera app takes better photos than the stock camera app. Period. There is no two ways about it. If somehow the rainbow issue is dealt with & the memory leakage is fixed, I'm not opening the stock camera app again unless it's for video.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] eruanii:
The thing is is, we shouldn't be arguing whether the stock camera app is better or the ported app is better. Photo quality is always subjective to taste and preference. If Gcam's results don't work for you, there's no point in convincing others who have a different experience. We should be happy we have options that suits everyone's taste. :D

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ijuanp03:
Hi miniuser123, just a small request.. can we have the option to hide/disable icons and menu on the Camera port? A lot of features are not working properly due to code limitation and would just want to show what features are working (ex. Portrait, panorama etc). This also declutters the UI and would look like it is a real stock camera app. :)

On S7 Exynos with Ironman ROM and Stock kernel the v2 did not even have a working portrait mode…

It would generally help if everybody would state their exact device and maybe even ROM and kernel (as other ROM on S7 Exynos was running v2 fine, ROM is also a parameter)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] eruanii:
Thats for the model. attached screenshot of the settings i use. It doesn't kill my s8+. I'd say the shutter would take a bit longer but doesn't really lag. Only High to super high would crash the app. Good thing about this cam is I rarely get blurred shots so I don't mind waiting for hdr processing to finish.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] FahmyAbou:
First of all, I want to thank the dev for doing the impossible and porting this app to other devices. Although it was plannex for S7 devices , I was certain that it work for other Exynos devices too. Im using an S6 Edge with Android 7.0 and sof ar this app has proven to do wonders. The pictures are on par with those taken with the samsung camera app but the portrait pictures are the real star. I used my phone more than hour to take photos of my friends because they were blown away by the results. Both the front and the rear portraits are amazing and I could not ask for more. I have observed two things when using the app:

1- It uses tons of ram and it seems there is no way around for now.

2- Highlights are on the pink side with V2 but I did not try V3 yet.

These are my settings for S6 users

Model: Pixel 2 XL

On S7 I can see the effect in preview, although it is nowhere near as effective as google's HDR+. But as I said it brings too much noise when combined with HDR+. But it could be still useful for front cam in good light for S7 users because HDR+ isn't increasing dynamic range really because of a camera2 api bug. I have no idea about S8+, I don't know what features it has.

First impressions : Live HDR on is super amazing in good light. Solves the rainbow issue completely with no penalty to dynamic range (the DR actually seems a bit better than with it off).

It's definitely a bit noisy in deep shadows, though, but I can't stand the rainbow issue haha

I wonder why it seems to be using at least ISO 85 on every shot, even on very bright light.

[MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION] do you think it could be possible to make a setting to manually select an ISO?

If comparing Auto HDR, the stock samsung app will produce better photos, but most of the time google cam will be nearly the same if not better when using HDR+ mode.

The HDR+ is the magic algorithm of Google Camera. However, do note that the software was written for Google Pixel hardware (Snapdragon soc) not Exynos soc. To be able to run this app on non Google phone and non snapdragon soc - that is clearly very impressive already thanks to clever devs here [MENTION=4798833]miniuser123[/MENTION]

Absolutely amazing app!

I'm following all the development and you are doing a very good job!

There's a few things that I wanna increased in this app and I dunno if is possible:

- Can you fix the purple colour in high exposure with Pixel 2XL model? The Pixel 2XL model is better to check photos, like the Google Photo app.

- Can you put a option to change the amount of blur in portrait? Sometimes the blur is good and other times isn't enough. Maybe an option in settings should fix.

- As other people said, a manual ISO would be amazing.

- And the heating/battery drain? Do you know how to fix it?

Anyway. Thanks and I'm gonna donating for this wonderful job later!

Is "modified HDR quality" "HDR parameters? As I couldn't find "HDR quality"

I tested with quite a few night shots earlier. Unfortunately, it isn't as good as V4 for me. It either overexposes LED signs, or shows inaccurate colour, whereas before it would work flawlessly(accurate colour) when I tapped on where the led signs were, it shows accurate colours but it darkens everything(which is normal), whereas in v4 I could just point and shoot, and those neon signs would show 100% accurate colours without tapping(and tapping bright areas ultimately affects exposure of the entire scene)

What settings should I use for it to be like v4(well expose, accurate colours etc)

Sorry if I sound like I'm hating, I love gcam, and appreciate your work and effort. I just want to work as the way it did in v4. Again, thanks.
