[Q] video quality with custom rom - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I love my S4 with TW but I would prefer custom roms.
I tried dozens but there was always a problem with the video quality.
It looks like TW smoothens YT and embedded videos and every custom rom I know doesn't. (All roms I know!)
Videos are pixelated (except 1080p) and it seems like they aren't even 720p (YT)
Does anyone know a custom rom (or a mod) with a video quality equal to TW quality.
Thanks

Camera/video quality

Is the quality better on sense roms or cm roms ?
I know sense re less in 3pg while cm recording in mp4.
Does this matter ?

ICS Camera Sharpness

I'm running the latest version of ParanoidAndroid, and noticed that there is a lot of noise in a lot of the photos that I take.
I am thinking it might have to do with the sharpness of the image. Is there a way to reduce sharpness in ICS?

Anyone??

I don't think there is any good fixes for the ICS camera as we are still missing kernel 3.0.

Kernel 3.0 won't solve this necessarily on sense 4.0 ROMs though
Desire S • Fallout V2.0.0 • xda premium
I'm running IceColdSandwich and the camera quality is just as good as CM and even better than stock ROM. The over-sharpening algorithm in stock ROM camera used to introduce a lot of artifacts in photos and they didn't look so good. ParanoidAndroid's base is existz's aospX ROM, and the camera works fine in that too, so it shouldn't be any different for you. There's currently no option in ICS cameras to adjust sharpness. Try running the camera in tablet mode, is there a setting then?

Is it possible that using camera.apk from IceColdSandwich or CM would improve photo quality on Revolutionhd rom? I'm getting blurred photos almost everytime
have u tried uCam.apk ?
very good camera app.

That wouldn't work. Revolution HD is a Sense ROM and the Sense framework is different from AOSP. So CM, AOKP and MIUI cameras won't work. Try using another app though as suggested above. I have Camera Zoom FX which works great.
Using uCam already. Great app. Phoyos are good enough, much better than stock cam app.
I used Camera Zoom FX before. Quality was the same as original

Is there a ICS ROM with a Camera like in GB??

Hi,
I tried a lot of roms since i have my HD2 (just love it)
I really like the way ics looks and feels but i dont like the camera cause the camcorder has lower resolution.
Is their a ICS Rom with a Camera which can do 800x480 in recording and 4MP Widescreen Photos??
Thx for the help in advance
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda app-developers app
so it can only take 640x450?
Well at the moment i am using a GB rom where i can do great 800x480 videos but in the IC S roms i've tested so far i only got 640x480.....

I'm not 100 % sure, but i think there is a fix for ICS which enables the camcorder to record 720p video.
I'll dig up the link and post here.
As for 4 MP shots, just crop the image
i think this is it

Quality of sound on different ROMs

I decided to start this thread just because there is one think that is very important for me. It is music quality. As I noticed, there are some differences in audio quality between ROMs. For example for me CM9 plays much worse than stock ICS (both tested on Poweramp player).
Do you have any suggestions which ROM for Galaxy S2 has the best music quality? Or maybe you have some nice configuration for SGS2 that sounds better than others?
What a pity that Samsung built a Yamaha sound chip in this phone. That one made by Wolfson which is installed in SGS, SGS3 and iPhone's is much better...
Want better sound quality on cm9 and cm10

I'll try when I flash CM9. After doing it, is it better than on the stock ROM?

That depends on personal taste.

I've noticed that the volume on a lot of stock ROMs is low, the quality differs per Rom.
But with a custom ROM like CM9 there are a lot of ways to change it to your likings, e.g. adjusting the music volume. And use mp3's of reasonable quality. Setting high volume on low bitrate mp3's sounds like crap...
So just perform a nandroid backup and try flashing a CM9 or CM10 ROM. Can't hurt to try...

The best sound I got was using PlayerPro + DSP package on any rom ...

[Q] Any way to get TW Camera Quality on AOSP ROM?

Just wondering if there's any way to get the TW video quality on an AOSP rom? My video quality went considerably down (mostly the mic quality)
Seems to be a consistent theme. .....TW camera is simply better than AOSP.
Something about the framework doesn't allow it to be compatible with AOSP

IMO it's the best alternative to the TW we can't have on aosp
