I have ordered a nexus 4 and will most likely root and rom it when I get it.
I have noticed on my two old phones (current g2x and an optimus t) that I installed roms on, specifically cyanogenmod, it always made the camera quality worse.
Does installing any of the custom roms on these phones make the camera worse, the same, or better?
no, installing any of the custom roms does not make the camera worse or better. However, u can use third party apps to improve the picture quality.

No, Installing a custom ROM won't improve or make your camera worse.
How ever if you use a beta version of any third party camera app, it may not be able to take full usage of your camera, its just that stock camera app is usually optimized for your phone.
No, it won't. The reason why it makes those phones take worse pictures is because the manufacturer has their own closed source libraries for processing images and autofocus, so custom ROMs are forced to use the (usually worse) AOSP camera libraries. The Nexus 4 is based off of AOSP, so stock already has the AOSP camera libraries.

I compared shots taken with the stock LG camera vs the stock jelly bean camera, and the results are dramatic. The LG camera wins hands down, so I'm just curious if AOSP roms would work with the LG camera.
Also, are we going to see custom kernels for this device?
Don't worry, you'll still be able to use your camera. However the stock LG camera app will probably be replaced with focal or something similar.

What he's asking is if we can still use lgs camera app... Because I agree aosp sucks...
Of the stock camera isn't reliant on the framework then yes.. Otherwise no

I doubt we will see a camera with all the options of the LG G2 stock app, but there will be options. Focal is one. Generally manufacturers apps don't make it into AOSP or CM roms, I think because they require other framework or files that aren't included in in the custom roms.
Look at the size of a CM rom, and then at an original rom, and you'll probably see a difference of 500MB+ (i.e. lots of proprietary files not there in AOSP or CM)
As for Kernels, I would think there will be some on the way. There are already a couple, so I'm sure more work will be done to increase the offering.

That makes sense, but it kind of sucks to lose the improvements that LG made. The options are one thing, but the difference in image quality is huge comparing it to AOSP camera .
Don't give up your hopes too soon, as you may already know there's alot of third party camera ported to work with all device including those that uses AOSP roms in Android Apps section.. And they usually comes with their proprietary libs/so to make their functions work..
Although none of them are 100% perfect as they're not intended to be used on other device in the first place, LG cam should work better on LG devices.. Time will tell..
costum kernel will be available soon after the devs gets their hands dirty on the SD800 SoC..
i'm interested about porting the moto x always listening feature to the G2, as the latter has the chip to do so..
Hey there guys, I will be quite simple with this one
I love the design of this phone and also the battery + camera (those are my main reasons)
I'm getting my G2 on friday! and I normally go with custom roms (although with htc one m7 I stayed in stock because the camera quality loss (due to no libs) was huge)
does this happen also with LG G2?
Is there a considerable quality loss of taking pictures when you move to a custom rom?
What about the excellent battery? does it gets even better on custom rom?
Thanks for your answers!

There might be a little tiny bit, but with the 13mp, you have to zoom in quite a bit more to see noise or blurriness than with the M7. I use PA rom and i have no problem with cameraquality.
I'm new here too, there are 2 kinds of most used roms, stock roms and AOSP or CM roms I can tell you that if you want a good camera use stock custom roms, because AOSP rom's camera doesn't have all Lg features, but if you want better battery maybe the double of screen on time, use AOSP roms, for stock roms I recommend you the Cloudy ones for example, and for AOSP, Mahdi Rom is the one I use when I'm not on stock rom, try them out and decide by yourself,

thank for the replies, I will note it down to try them out in friday when my g2 arrives!
edit: I probably think I will go for Cloudy to start with for some time ^^ thanks for the recomendations
Hey guys! For the first time I am having a device Nexus and I am very happy. But I would like to test new ROMs customized. in my devices previous (non-Nexus) whenever opted for any ROM AOSP or CM based, the camera had lower quality compared to the stock, because the manufacturers not release their drivers owners for parallel development. Thus, always have CM drivers generic in the camera and other parts of the device.
I wonde then, if we Nexus happens otherwise. Google provides these codes for developers? I will lose quality in photographs case use another ROM AOSP based?
Grateful for the replies!
There isn't a custom ROM that will degrade your photo quality on the 6p.

Indeed: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers
Additionally, the blobs/drivers can be easily extracted from a rooted device/the factory images. So all in all, no, you do not have to worry about any issues with the camera or any other hardware with custom ROMs (aside from Bluetooth with CM based ROMs).
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.
Am with looked bootloader and with no root and no warranty coz imported it... So want to know about lineage os experience and benefits compared to Mifavor....

Thanks ?
I dont test lineage, but any custom have more customization, I test aosp and works great, but I allways fall in stock cause of camera app. In every phone I have I did the same, test, but stock again...

Have you tried moto camera? Its same as Mifavor but in selfies it's better due to HDR enabled in selfies and HDR makes it best in low light.

Stock gives me what I need, and even when a custom ROM seems tempting, there are still some issues with the camera and the sound, which are really important things for me. In my opinion, the phone is quick enough on stock, I have the options and gestures I need, and most important, I get stable updates most of the time, while in custom ROM's you always have to be checking if the new build didn't break something in favor of fixing other things or implement new features. I use this as a daily driver and also some job related things, so I can't be flashing everyday a new build or ROM.
I stopped doing any development on my phones since 2-3 years ago, I think the last time I did something was with the Nexus 5, but not anymore because many things have improved since those dark times.
I'm happy in how ZTE is doing things with the Axon 7, and even when MiFlavor looks a little ugly, I think they are doing great things for users and developers in general.
