Looking for Video recording with Electronic Image Stabilization

On my FP3’s stock ROM, I liked the stock Camera app (a SnapDragonCamera offspring as I learned later) for its very effective realtime EIS in video recording.

Unfortunately, I cannot get this app to run on /e/: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fp3-stock-camera-app-apk-please/62560

I warmly welcome suggestions on EIS-capable video recording apps!

I haven’t tried running the stock FP3 camera on /e/ like you, but I have found that /e/'s stock camera (OpenCamera) does not noticably stabilize the video. Neither on an FP3 (/e/ on Android 9 base) nor on an FP3+ (/e/ on Android 10 base). Even though on the FP3+ OpenCamera gives the option to turn on stabilization in video settings. Doesn’t make a noticable difference. Quite disappointed, actually. I’ll try some recent Google camera app mods next.

I’ve tried the FP stock camera app from the Android-9-based FP OS, but it failed to open on both FP3 and FP3+ with /e/. I got it from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/fairphone/comments/isolbw/need_fairphone_3_stock_camera_apk_both_from/ There’s also one linked from the Android-10-based FP OS, but it has been taken down from all hosters unfortunately.

I’ve tried NGCam_7.4.104-v1.2 now on both phones. Didn’t provide noticeable image stabilization. Has anyone actually got image stabilization to work on any version of /e/ on a Fairphone?!

I saw on https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/2102 that the /e/ team is aware of Snapdragon Camera - let’s hope that one day it will be included with /e/
