Custom ROMs and camera performance?

I want to know if a cooked ROM like the ones we can see here can enhance the camera quality by speeding up the shutter speed?
I have read that the 2.1 official update will surelly boost the camera too...

Yes it does...much faster making photo capture much more stable...you notice it more when taking pics in dark environment.

[Q] S5 TW Camera vs AOSP/Google

I'm considering moving from TW to AOSP but what kept me on TW on the S4 was the Camera. I had horrible quality compared to the TW roms while being on AOSP. Flashed many ROMs and it was always the same but maybe it was just me.
Anyone that tried an AOSP ROM, how is the camera picture and video quality compared to the TW one?

I think if you try Google camera from the playstore it will give you an accurate representation of AOSP rom's camera.

Possibly not that accurate if they use different different camera drivers.

Exactly. I've also noticed that Google Camera also does not catch details like Samsung TW Camera while testing it on my TW Rom :/

Photo Quality in CM Roms

I installed CM12 stable on my K3 note and so far its been pretty good performance wise compared to VibeUI.
However, I feel the camera quality has gone down drastically
I tried installing snapit camera on CM rom which i think is doing little better, but still i feel quality has gone down.
Is it just me, or cam quality in CM/AOSP roms is not that great ? And more importantly any fixes ?

tried differents versions of the snapit camera? Ive read somewhere that the IQ of the picture can be different. Also Lspeed mod disable the compression of the photo that seems to be enabled in most roms.

Camera Quality

Hi, Just a query about the camera on Note 3.
I once owned a sony, And rooting and flashing broke camera quality unless ya backed up the TA partition first, Ive noticed since flashing my Note 3 with darkwolf rom and also flashing the camera mod available, ie, S7 camera, the quality isnt what i would expect, Low light conditions its pretty poor to be honest.
So i was wondering, Is there any info on the Note 3 camera that i should know, ie, does flashing custom roms break quality, is stock camera better than the available mods etc etc, because i did own a galaxy s4 once upon a time, and the camera quality on that was a lot better than this note 3 camera, as a test i installed the LENOVO supercamera and instantly noticed an improvement in quality, tho still really poor in low light, or am i expecting too much from it, because even the camera on my Iphone 5s, 8mp, takes a a better picture.
Anyone any advice?, is there a good camera mod available to really improve the situation or should i go back to stock camera?

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
