I have been running an AOSP based ROM since the day I got my phone. I recently re-installed a TW ROM and of course, there is a noticeable difference in the quality and features of the camera. My question since we all know we can not have a TW camera on AOSP, is there any other camera app that it comparable?
Just wondering if you can get the Samsung stock camera on custom roms?
If so, is the quality any better or is it worse?
If it's a Touchwiz based custom ROM then it will have the Samsung camera. If it's an AOSP or CM based ROM then it won't have the Samsung camera.
The camera issues have always stopped me from running AOSP or CM based ROMs on my main phone. They normally have great features and battery life but for some reason they haven't resolved the camera issue on Samsung phones that's plagued them since day one.
you could always use the htc camera if you are running aosp or cm..it is somewhere on xda
Hi I've created this thread to know which ROM S4's users use
Feel free to justify your vote !
I use touchwiz ROM (note5 ported rom) because it has some useful features like private mode ,ultra powersaving mode and also because it looks beautiful and I prefer it also because I never found any cynogen build which had good quality camera ...I always felt as if the quality of pictures I take is really bad in cyanogen
Im using a debloated Stock TW ROM with Root. Its okay until I decide to buy a new phone. I tried all the CM, modded TW etc. ROMs but they all had to much problems (Bluetooth, Camera quality etc. with CM, freezing sensors with modded tw roms).
Im using note 5 port from ale95. Its decent. And like because the features. I mean why having a videocall capable phone if we are not going to use it? With cm you dont have it. And the camera....afs.
The OPX is my daily driver (for now) and photography is a HUGE part of my life. Most stable custom ROMs do have more features than the stock, but the camera app functionality and interface will never compare to the stock software. The 2 main features I use are slo-mo and manual mode. So why don't I use OOS 2.x.x? Simple, the community build based on marshmallow has massive performance fixes (especially concerning the GPU and gaming). If the camera isn't a big deal for you than go ahead and flash a custom ROM, this will add more features to your device and the cost of a great camera app. But I definitely suggest upgrading to a marshmallow or nougat based ROM (my personal favourites are CM and PA, they have many features and are pretty stable) due to the poor performance of the GPU on OOS 2.X.X.
let me know you opinions on software concerning the OPX below?
whats the point?
Anyway i find sultans HAL combined with snapdragon interface better.

I totally agree and that's why I went for 3.1.1. Smooth performance, best camera by far.

Ok.. So why not do both. Use a custom ROM and flash oos 3 camera zip. So now you have best ROM and best camera app. That is what I do.

I couldn't find the latest camera version for the OPX, could you share the camera zip + the name of the ROM you are using. Thanks?

Thanks for your thoughts and feedback? (camera seems a little buggy tho?)
The problem with the camera isn't the app it's self. It's the photo quality. Sultan hal uses higher iso settings to eliminate low fps during photo capturing, thus creating to much noise in the picture. That's why you can't get best of both. Furthermore that in latest OOS cam the video recording fps is normal now on, there is no need for me to change in any custom rom. ( by the time these lines are written of course, because no one knows what are talented and really hard working custom roms developers will bring us in the future)
Ps: of course I have test for long periods purity, sultan cm13, caf RR, and official cm13 in order to have a reference point.

Yes, I agree. But the interface on OOS is much more user friendly in my opinion than any STABLE custom rom out there. Sultan hal is much more complicated for the “simple everyday OnePlus user". The most noticeable downside between the two is trying to record slo mo on any custom ROM. There would be too much zoom, too much noise and it was hard to make it play in slo mo. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.?

Use a custom rom and flash the OOS camera app.

I miss panorama mode from OOS. On custom rom's (sultan cm and sultanized resurection remix i think) not working
Ok.. so this has probs been covered hundreds of times but hey
Touchwiz isnt my greatest love and want to move to cm13, the only thing holding me back is reading about camera quality drops when using custom roms, but is it a major drop in quality, i mean im not one for looking at pictures on the pc and blowing them up..
Has anyone got any examples of cm13 pictures..maybe even a similar picture from stock which they have
Anyway thanks for any help
The camera won't suddenly turn QVGA just by changing from official to custom.
I feel like people exaggerate when saying that the quality is worse.
You'll lose most of the features from the stock camera, but it's not like the camera will suddenly turn into a 1 Megapixel camera.
If you're a casual user, you'll be just fine.
I like to focus, snap and be happy with a decent pic..thats about it
Might go for CM13 official then, i spose if not happy come back to stock
I don't use the stock camera apps in AOSP or Cyanogenmod (when I was using it). Half the time the binary would crash so badly that only a reboot would fix it. So when using AOSP (currently using JDC AOSP 7.0) or Cyanogenmod I install a camera app that uses its own binaries. That eliminates camera issues in AOSP for me.
