[Q] Best Camera for AOSP based ROMs - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there guys, was just wondering what the best camera apps are for the note 3 when running an AOSP based ROM.
Obviously you lose the Samsung one and the one included with the ROMs all produce blurry and grainy photos.
So do any of you know of some nice alternatives that provide pictures on par or as close as the stock camera (i don't really want to go back to TW just yet)
Thanks in advance!

Camera FV-5
Procapture
CameraZoom FX
Try any of these, they're the more professional camera apps.

Is it possible to use stock galaxy s4 camera on custom roms?

Hi,
I want to use this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2306650
I allready know that gestures, eye scrolling etc. won't work without the original kernel.
But is it possible to use the stock galaxy s4 camera and the functions of it on this miui port?
Would be awesome.
Thx in advance!
I don't think so and tbis is my biggest problem too!!!! theres is no camera app that is as good as this one but i want to change to cyanogenmod or aokp.....
for example i can take 9.6mp 16:9 pics with the stock cam and with camera jb+ i only get 6 mp when i want to use 16:9 ratio....... not the mention the camera modes of the stock one.....

Panorama Camera on GE S4?

Hey guys,
I installed the Android 4.3 Google Edition rom, and love it so far. Everything is smooth and simple, but the only real thing I miss is the panorama and how well it took those. The pictures are easier to focus and it seems to have better lighting and faster shutter speeds on this Google Edition (AOSP) camera, but the panorama just doesn't compare to the stock touchwiz...
Here are some samples from my back yard...

TW.jpg is the stock Touchwiz camera...
AOSP.jpg is the GE camera but the quality is nothing close to the TW.
HDPanorama.jpg... I decided to purchase this 'HD Panorama +' application, but as you can see, it has artifacts and missing links... just a waste of money...
Is there a good Panorama camera app that is anything close to the stock touchwiz camera?
Thanks in advance...

Stock Camera vs 3rd Party Camera on AOSP Roms

Hey everybody,
besides the different image processing taking place in every camera app which in turn leads to different results in images, are AOSP custom roms capabale of taking complete advantage of the note 4 hardware (utilizing all its features like focus, shutter speeds,...)?
The answer would be comparing a pic taken with a 3rd party camera app on a stock rom vs the same pic being shot with the same 3rd party app on an AOSP rom.
3rd party camera apps on stock roms profit from all the original samsung drivers which are not present in custom roms.
Has anybody done a comparison on this? I'd be greatful for links in that case. Your personal thoughts/experiences are welcomed just the same!
Anything to help me figure out if i should get a note 4 so i can flash custom roms and have great (stock like) image results coming from a AOSP rom with specific camera apps. Or if you think that only the stock touchwiz camera app can profit from certain features (again, I'm not talking about saturation, sharpening, etc. which is done via software and can be edited in a way you/i like. I'm speaking of the actual integration of all the hardware capabilities, drivers, API,...).
Thx for your help,

Best Camera app for Non-Touchwiz Roms?

Hey guys,
I Love CM/AOSP ROMs but often find the camera somewhat lacking compared to the Touchwiz one, any recommendations for a good camera app?
The pre-installed snap camera is as good as it gets for cm/aosp based roms
you can get the HTC Camera (Search HTC Camera old on google) its really good. i use that on my TW rom i think its better
As far as the S5 goes - I can give you the answer, because I also have the same device. I'm using Snap Camera HDR (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap&hl=en). The stock CM camera lacks saturation and this app allows you to increase it. I've actually compared pictures from both TouchWiz and CM based ROMs and I can say that when you increase the saturation to 8 or 9, you absoulutelly can't tell the difference.
The stock camera that comes with ResurrectionRemix is Terrible... Especially in Low Light.
Just tried that, and it doesn't seem to be storing the photos are taking em haha. Forgot to mention i'm using a MM rom.
The only down side to snap camera (pro) is how it handles low light photos compared to TW.
Other than that I agree with the rest, snap camera is the best it gets.
PS. Looking into the HTC camera being recommended, will return with results.
I there! I can suggest two pay apps:
A BETTER CAMERA - good quality camera, the one I use with stock ROM. It supports real HDR, video recording (only 1080p) with HDR (I think it's same as Rich Tone HDR of stock camera), panorama mode, and DRO (Dynamic Range Optimization) that is very similar to Rich Tone HDR (it's a post-processing filter that fix overall exposure of the photos and can save both original and fixed shots).
PRO CAPTURE - another good camera, it's support natively Samsung Rich Tone HDR (in Scene Mode it's simply called HDR) but photos is little darker thank stock camera. I don't know if support this function with custom ROMs. Photo quality is very good, but this one not support video recording.

Camera Quality With Custom ROMs

Hi There,
one of the main reasons why I bought the S7 Edge initially was its great camera.
The reason why I haven't yet installed a Custom Rom was because I wasn't sure if the custom rom / camera app would provide the same picture-quality as the original one.
Will the Picture quality suffer from a custom camera app, or is the relevant software "build into" the chip, and therefor independent from the actual camera app?
Thanks a lot!
If a TW based ROM is used, the stock camera app can be used, so the phto quality will be the same. If you got root on this ROM you can even access more features of the camera with the Zerocam MOD.
If an AOSP base ROM is used, the quality is not equal. Samsung did not release all the libraries needed to access the hardware of the S7 camera properly. But nowadays you can reach, with third apps, the same quality of the photos as the TW based ROMs.

I have tried many of the proposed solutions to achieve good camera quality in an AOSP based ROM and can only say that none of them came even close to the quality of the stock camera. Also, the speed was not comparable.
To compare I used a test scenario with poor lighting conditions and always took the same pictures. While for instance on images taken with the stock camera one could read the text on a package, on the other images you couldn't even tell that it was text.
Any news on this? As the S7 is end of life, the TW based ROMs are also not an alternative anymore. Is there any chance to get roughly the same camera quality with a LineageOS ROM? What third party apps deliver a decent quality?
you can use google camera. lol
