[Q] Do Lollipop TouchWiz variants support Camera to SD Card? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Can anyone running a touchwiz based lollipop rom say whether the Samsung camera app allows you to save photo's to the ext sd card ? I know the non-samsung roms (CM etc) don't but I'm a bit confused as to what can and can't be done on the Samsung version of lollipop.
Cheers

Of course you can save photos to SD card on Samsungs Stock rom. I'm talking about the built in stock cam

Thanks for the quick reply. So if the Samsung stock camera can save to SD on Lollipop.. why do other non-Samsung Lollipop ROMs seem to be deficient in this area
...or is my info out of date (and other LP ROM's are also capable now?)

Question on Custom ROMS S4

Hi,
If I was to flash Task's AOKP for example will I lose all those samsung air view and other features? Or are those built in to the phone and also id I flash those would it give the phone extra internal storage. Hypothetically saying what is taking up the space is the samsung firmware so if the custom rom took that away shouldnt it make the phone have more storage?
Thank you!

Flashing aokp or any other custom ROM will not give you more internal storage.. That's on Samsung's end and supposedly they are working on improving the amount of available memory.. And no you won't have any air view, air gestures, smart screen, or ir blaster.. The drivers/software are proprietary to Samsung.. Ir blaster MAY work once the aosp Google edition s4 is released and that's only if the ir blaster even works in that edition

Google Edition ROMs

Looking to move away from the Touchwiz ROMs as I had nothing but problems with them, including sd card unexpectedly removed.
Currently on OmegaROM v17 4.3 and on International S4 9505
Which is the cleanest Google Edition ROM out there along with the latest Android version?

[Q] 2 Questions about the i9505

Hey guys, so i have got the i9505 and i have a few questions about it.
1: It's pretty laggy but i really do like the look of the s4 touchwiz, are there any tweaks/mods that I can do to increase performance? 2nd option is me installing a rom, any recommendations?
2: I know it's pretty far-fetched but is their like an app where you can install apps on but it's sort of like a cloud storage so you dont have to install the app on your device or sd-card. I don't think there are but if it is possible it would be epic. If there are no apps like that, is there an option to automatically save app data to a cloud storage (yeah i have titanium backup pro, but i dont think when you put your files in dropbox/google drive it will actually read them from dropbox/google drive. And when you sync app data with dropbox/google drive i dont think it removes the files of your sd card.
So if someone knows something about these 2 topics I'd like a reply
Thanks for reading,
See the custom roms are on preference.
Few like the touchwiz based roms.
Others like pure android. (CM AOSP PW Mahdi etc etc)
Touchwiz roms are beautified by the devs. We have to apply themes on CM/AOSP to get the beauty and can change it as and when we like.
CM/AOSP roms have better update support. A touchwiz dev might just abandon the project after a few updates.
Plus CM/AOSP based roms use less ram than touchwiz roms.
On the other hand, TW based roms are a boon for the i9505 people. Those who dont want to trip the knox counter can flash a few TW based roms without tripping knox!!
And TW based roms bring out the real beauty and 0% bloat and lag on the TW launcher and additional aspects.
It is all on preferences. You can check the i9505 Android Development and i9505 Original Android Development thread for your picks
I was a TW rom lover too, till I flashed a CM11 based rom
You can get the TW feel on CM11 bdw
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "
Thanks i'll search for some ROMs then

[Q] Best ROM for everyday use

Like the title already says i am looking for the best ROM for the Galaxy S4 to use everyday so it has to be stable and bugfree.
The reason why i dont want the stock touch wiz rom anymore is that it lets only 9gb free on my 16 gb model.
Please recommend me ROMs that are reliable and if possible also with the ability to move Apps to the SD Card.
Thanks and greetings
Any rom is stable and no rom is bugfree.
Couldnt you have posted in one of the 3268 existing best ROM threads

Best as in what the hell is subjectivity.
I would recommend
Lollipop german version.
Echoerom.
But for you. Try the cm12 alucard and antaresone's rom. I find it refreshing . Bonus: it's like 400mb in total. Including gapps.:good:
I find the GPE roms to be very good.
I tried the CM12 Optimzed builds and faced several problems.
With the GPE roms I've never had any trouble. Also have great battery life.

Hi,
I have the same s5 w8 you do, and I've run XtreStoLite for a while. I highly recommend it. It's stable and debloated. It's basically touchwiz without the problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732110
If you prefer a more ASOP look, try the Sonic AOKP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/klte-t3044804
They're both LP ROMs, but I've been very happy with both. I find that the Sonic ROM lacks the functionality (Finger Print, SHealth, Gesture) that I want, but it's very simple, and highly customizable. Perfectly stable too.
Good Luck
