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 :/

Does having a custom non-Touchwiz ROM change the camera performance? Like Cyanogen mod or AOKP, I'm not entirely sure what a ROM changes. Would the quality of the other modes change (HDR, HDR video, etc)?
We'll never have sammy camera on aosp/cm. You need tw framework for it to run. Thats the only downside of aosp/cm. But honestly im on rooted stock and im loving everything about this phone. Ive ran aosp/cm on all my phones and hated touchwiz. The s4 has definately made me content for now.
ATT S4 Rooted. Beastin.

I understand that the Samsung camera application cannot be ported over, but is the performance of the camera still the same? Basically do pictures taken still look like the same quality? My other major question is what modes are available? Other than just normal is there HDR, night, etc.

I flashed CM 10.1 about 1 hour ago, shortly before deleting my only System files on it (DOH!). Anyway, I noticed the camera wasn't good at all in CM 10.1. I dont know if its just the way it looks, I didnt take a single picture, but I didnt like it and its one of the reasons im going back to stock.
Do you know if the camera quality will get better?
Just install a different camera app from the Play Store. I use Fotor and it takes excellent pics.

Just a quick question and would like a answer from people who has tried both CM11/AOSP Roms and TW
Is the image quality just as good on a AOSP/CM11 ROM than on a TW ROM or is it worse?
In other phones I have owned I noticed CM11 Roms produced images that were not as good quality as stock one due to different processing.

Hi,
Used Cm11 A long time and havent had any problems.
After switching to touchwiz, just notices that the Touchwiz Camera does Pretty Bad in low Light. You need pretty much light for Good Results, the Camera performs Pretty much Worse than the AOSP Cam in nornmal daylight.
You get awesome Pics with AOSP in every type of Lighting. Touchwiz can only do good with much light but also focuses slower and heavier than AOSP.
AOSP saves pretty much time at Focussing and taking good shots without much light.
I would keep AOSP if you use your Cam often and expect good quality at every Aspect.
Hope i helped:good:

IMO, It focuses much better on TW than AOSP, as the Camera driver doesn't constantly waste time trying to focus on "everything" like on AOSP rather than actual focusing on what you press.
Detail is fine, just the drivers controlling the camera chip.
I have a pretty simple question . How does camera performance differ from the normal touchwiz ROM apposed to an aosp ROM. I know there is some processing that is done on the os side when pictures are taken.
So basically is the camera worse on a aosp ROM compared to a touchwiz ROM
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
