[Q] I need the stock camera, or a substitute - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently got a Note 3 (N9005) and installed Cyanogenmod on it. Unfortunetly both the Cyan camera and google camera dont support slomo (120fps) or 4k UHD recording. So what I need is either the original camera app for the note 3 to install, or a substitute that will unlock these two features. (Or another fix)
Thanks! Also I'm not sure what other goodies I'm missing out on by not using stock, is there anything important?

I believe Samsung's stock N3 camera is based on the TouchWiz framework, and running AOSP means it is impossible to install it.
You could try Lenovo Super Camera....I forgot if they have the feature but it's just an apk to install for you to try out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706350

Fair enough. Tried it out, doesn't seem to, but has a great gallery! It crashes occasionally for me though, so Ill just stick to stock for now, while I look for something else/try to figure out why it's crashing. Thanks

Request: Factory LG Camera app for AOSP based roms?

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.

And it doesnt work at all on CM.
The newest CM update added HDR and it seems to work exactly as with LG camera app. But we still need 13MP. CM's app is 8MP currently.

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.

If it works...possibly. The LGCameraAppTest2 is the lg cam, but it FC's, the CameraTest5 doesnt look like its form the g2.

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.

[Q] Google camera - no slow motion recording?

Unless I'm missing it, or the flash of my ROM didn't work right, the google camera on my device from the pure nexus edition I flashed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...on-s4-t2837239 doesn't seem to have Slow Motion video capturing which I really would like to have .
Is there a way I could just get the old S4 camera to somehow work with the device? (I was googling for one but couldn't find one.) or I take it that was designed custom by samsung for their software? If not the default one that I had from stock, is there another one some of you recommend?

I don't think you can get it working on the google roms since it was made for the Touchwiz system. If you want to just tinker and try, you can try the S5 camera or the Note 3 camera but as far as I know they won't work.
Ah ok, Thanks Deadly for replying. That's a real shame, I don't like all the bloat that came with my AT&T S4, but the touchwiz camera does seem much better. I'll go look at one of the modified touchwiz ROMs available and try one of them.

Which is the best camera (paid or free or modded) for Lollipop AOSP roms ?

simple question - I have a lollipop based ROM and I know that I dont have the same drivers as XCam so quality will suffer.
But which camera app will give me the highest quality on Lollipop AOSP ? Do note that I'm not talking about which is the best app in terms of features, usability, etc. .... but simple image quality.
As of now, Google Camera seems to my (untrained) eyes as the best option. Sefnap's modded stock camera seems good, but on Lollipop it becomes a little unusable.
1. flash this
2. set it up..you can't set it up later..set up flash, focus, size etc..
3- install this
that's it
it you want to set it up later you have to "downgrade" it from app settings, then reinstall the 3.

Can you tell me what that is. I haven't found any reference to it in the forums. And explain the downgrade bit?
Thanks!
I've had really good luck with the plain Google Camera from the App store. Seems to take good generic shots with little effort.

It's older lg camera modded to work oj aosp. On top the apk is a little bit newer, takes decent shots. Night shooting is much better then on other cams(aosp related..)

Hmmm... Flashing this takes away the transparent soft key buttons and the color changing notification bar. They are both black now. Is this expected?
My god, you are so right. The difference between your modded camera and Google Camera is astounding.
I really wonder why these changes can't be ported at the smali level to an open source camera like CM11S....because this is not leveraging the stock driver framework.
This is amazing

Works magnificent. Now aosp roms for lg g2 Will be Nice

I am really hoping for the Camera2 API support in the new Lollipop roms for the G2. That should make it easier for any future ports to AOSP based roms.
Tried most of play store camera's and modded one's... I use my camera a lot so quality matters to me.Best overall and close to stock quality:A Better Camera.

Camera is really slow

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.

What about apps and interface? Except what is removed, everything else is all stock or anything replaced with 3rd party apps or other kind of mods? Because if so, it's not for me, I go for stock anytime.

Is it possible to use the Galaxy S5 original camera built by Samsung on LineageOS?

I'm asking this because all the cameras that are shipped with most custom roms s*cks...
Unfortunately, it seems to have proprietary stuff included in Samsung's original camera app.
No

Sadly it's not possible as the stock camera is closed source ......
i didn't really try out the camera that much in stock before switching to LOS 15.1 but i am accustomed to just using OpenCamera anyway, hope that will give you at least enough control over settings to get decent pictures? (it is a challenge in modest light, i know)
