I have a Galaxy s4 (lte internacional) and i flashed CM last week and have been enjoyin it so far. I have only two concerns about the ROM, first is the battery life, i have found it to be somewhat worse than TW`s, how can i solve it? The camera is the biggest concern I have, i have found it to be worse, what do you guys think? is it really worse? is there a way to solve it?
Are these problems normal in CM?
Sorry for the bad english, im not from US

What version of CM are you on?
To be honest the TW camera is the only reason I still use TW based roms, I feel that it's undoubtedly better.

Same here. The keyboard with numbers on top and the camera. If these were on aosp. It would change android completely

I've just started learning php coding. In tempted to design a keyboard and camera that replicates tw with no loss of quality and keyboard thats themed to aosp but had the numbers on top.

Unfortunately no The TW camera needs the TW framework to operate...it hasn't even been successfully ported to GE roms yet.

I've never done anything with apps/porting before. But... Any idea if it would be possible to edit the tw camera enough that it still works and and has the same functions but change enough that it will work as a 3rd party app?

Hey folks. Wondering if someone can chime in on the possibility of this...
I want the Camera app from the factory LG rom to work on AOSP phones. only because its HDR ability was much better than any app I have tried to fill that void since I switched to CM. Also it's Manual focus was a nice feature among many other things.
I assume it'd need LG's Framework as well to make it work, but if anyone can try to piece this together, or get me the files Id need (I'm no longer on LG's rom) Id be very grateful!

Focal is going to perform roughly the same as stock CM camera. We need the stock LG camera from the G2 as it can better interface with the hardware, not to mention has device specific tuning for the hardware. No other camera will be able to compete with the stock G2 camera.
To the request, i spent some time trying to get it to work few days ago. Not much progress, others have posted that hey manged to get the camera app to completely start up and take pictures, i have not made this much progress. Wish they would have posted theirs.
There is already a discussion about this in the Att-dev section.

Focal doesnt work for me. I'm on newest CM nightly, and pressing the shutter button in focal causes a FC every time.
As an update, I took the apks and odexs from the LG rom for LGCamera CameraTestApp, LGGallery and the framework-res from the old rom. I tried sideloading the apps with no luck, they wont even show up in my app drawer. I assume I need to install the LG framework alongside CM framework, but that's beyond me.

Hi, is it not possible to download the lg package from one of the g2 standard roms some of them have packages with all the original g2 apps in or am i mistaken about what you want ?
Is this what you were looking for?
Edit: It's a WIP, but hopefully it will work well soon.

Although this camera is awesome. We can't use the volume to take pics. Fc every time. Also burst mode Fc and shutter sound still goes off even though you enable it.
I love the ui of lenovo very aesthetic.
Just with burst mode worked with the volume button.

Amalence makes the software the G2 uses for image processing, and they also have their own Camera software. It's virtually identical to LG's stock camera app, it just has a different skin.

If you compare the stock to this, you'll see what I mean. It's the same camera as stock but with a different (IMO, better) skin.

Do you have a source for saying amalence is the company making LG's camera software? The program is similar yes, but not as good in my opinion. The HDR images are slower to snap and don't look as good to me. There is no "VR Panorama" or whatever LG called their photosphere mode

Note that the A_Better_Camera requires time to take 3 separate images, a good 1-1.5 seconds. The results are good tho.
I highly prefer the CM camera's HDR to A better camera, and I can't honestly tell the difference from the lg camera. The only thing missing is photosphere. I can use Focal for that, oddly enough that's the only feature that works in focal for me.

Hi all!
I want to ask if it's worth to use a CyanogenMod (or any other AOSP-based) ROM on the i9505.
I know that with any non-tw ROM I will lose features like Air View, Gestures, Sammy's Camera, WatchON IR communications etc. So I'm wondering if there are alternatives to these things, using the proper HW (eg. not like the simple proximity sensor)..
Thank you all in advance, for any answer
Very worth, of course the regret is about camera, but I don't use it often, so it's ok to me,
In one word, YES!

More and easier personification.
And smoothness is way better above Sammy.
You should have tried it yourself.
As I said, the only regret is camera. But it isn't bad anyway
Thinking of moving to ASOP based ( cm or paranoid, etc ) rom.
However the s health app with pedometer is a big miss for these roms.
What are the alternative apps that people are using. I tried a bunch of them but nothing seems to be working well like S health
Thanks
Did you ever find something suitable? I'm looking for the same thing.
Found few but nothing is as good as s health. The biggest issue had been having the app killed. S health runs 24 x 7 with no user input.

Its called google fit
It 's fairly accuuratr in counting steps, determining whether you are running or biking etc etc
It does not have a start button and runs in the background .give it a day or two to sum up all the information
Its available on the playstore(syncs all the data to the cloud also hence you don't lose your progress)

Stock LG lollipop does look nice. Looking at videos (which I know aren't final releases), I noticed a lack of the lollipop app open/close animation, which I was a bit upset about.
Waiting for CM to get to a more stable point to flash, then hoping CM gets their lollipop on soon

I agree. I had an n5. Having good Roms and **** getting updated daily isn't as good as it seems to be, 1 your battery never optimizes, 2 there's always bugs and reboots and kernel crashes that seem to get fixed after a while but more problems occur.
After g3 tweaksbox, gravity box (just for pie controls), aosp theme for icons and pulldown it feels like a nexus. But you cant beat having an sd card removable battery, this camera quality and this speaker. Yea i had to use a kernel with faux gamma and sound (skydragon) and greenify to get nexus smooth but i dont really mind that
I tried going back to stock android but I just find the g3 is better

Hi. Has anyone experienced really slow camera performance with S3 Neo? Like you pressing shutter button in camera app and image is actually being taken 3-8 seconds after that?
I got this issue on CM12 and CM12.1, didn't tried other ROMs yet. I've tried different camera apps, Google Camera, OpenCamera and CM stock one. Each of those apps seems to be affected the same way. It works a bit better after reboot and cleaning camera app cache but I can't do that often. If someone can help me with this, I'd really appreciate. Thanks.
PS: I've tried camera fix from this forum but probably it's for some other issue as my camera stopped worked completely after applying fix and I had to re-flash ROM.
Camera fix is for devices that have a different camera sensor (there are two). So that's indeed not the right file. As for the camera speed, I'm not really sure. Mine is also really slow (cm12,1). I've come to live with it because i rarely use my camera anyway. I've tested some touchwiz based roms, and the camera was faster on those :/

OK, it seems like we're getting somewhere. Could it be CM issue? Maybe some other CM users can write a word about their camera app speed? I really like CM though, stock ROMs are overloaded with tons of software that is never used.
Nikola's CM have some issues with camera timing, and Motion based roms have laggy camera performance
Better to go with stock, because it uses the camera at the maximum performance.

Thanks! I'm currently testing CM based '[ROM][Stable][5.1.1][December 31]Resurrection Remix 5.5.9 - Final version' and it looks better. Need more testing though. Stock is too awful to use, I'd better live with slow camera, but maybe there's a solution.
Nope, Resurrection Remix is slow either, CM's curse. OK, I got it - fast camera OR fast ROM, no exceptions. Too bad, maybe CM13 will fix this?
Camera Quality is Poor
S3 original is better than this..

I've found 'lite' version of original firmware made by guys from 4PDA (link to original thread, sorry it's in russian).
It's 500 MB in archive and almost all Samsung stuff has been removed, so it's as clean and fast as possible. Camera works fine. In case someone else may need it, here's direct link.
Please note that I'm not the author of this firmware, not related to him in any way and not responsible for your flashing experience.
