Just wondering if you can get the Samsung stock camera on custom roms?
If so, is the quality any better or is it worse?
If it's a Touchwiz based custom ROM then it will have the Samsung camera. If it's an AOSP or CM based ROM then it won't have the Samsung camera.
The camera issues have always stopped me from running AOSP or CM based ROMs on my main phone. They normally have great features and battery life but for some reason they haven't resolved the camera issue on Samsung phones that's plagued them since day one.
you could always use the htc camera if you are running aosp or cm..it is somewhere on xda

I have ordered a nexus 4 and will most likely root and rom it when I get it.
I have noticed on my two old phones (current g2x and an optimus t) that I installed roms on, specifically cyanogenmod, it always made the camera quality worse.
Does installing any of the custom roms on these phones make the camera worse, the same, or better?
no, installing any of the custom roms does not make the camera worse or better. However, u can use third party apps to improve the picture quality.

No, Installing a custom ROM won't improve or make your camera worse.
How ever if you use a beta version of any third party camera app, it may not be able to take full usage of your camera, its just that stock camera app is usually optimized for your phone.
No, it won't. The reason why it makes those phones take worse pictures is because the manufacturer has their own closed source libraries for processing images and autofocus, so custom ROMs are forced to use the (usually worse) AOSP camera libraries. The Nexus 4 is based off of AOSP, so stock already has the AOSP camera libraries.
I have been running an AOSP based ROM since the day I got my phone. I recently re-installed a TW ROM and of course, there is a noticeable difference in the quality and features of the camera. My question since we all know we can not have a TW camera on AOSP, is there any other camera app that it comparable?
What roms are really AOSP ? i want those really smooth experience with no random reboots and non stable modifications. Those who are not cm based.
In my experience, the most stables roms are stock Samsung followed by custom ROMs based off stock ROMs.
With AOSP and CM, it really depends on the apps. in that some ROMs are stable with some apps but not others. Kernel versions also play a role in stability.
AOSP is the base, the backbone and Cyanogen is based on AOSP. However this doesn't necessarily mean that both of them are in line for their stability, I mean AOSP is stable as hell obviously, AOSP is how Google wanted Android to be, which you can find on Nexus phones, or Motorola ones, which are almost AOSP (except Motorola's own apps), and Sony phones too, but Samsung, HTC and LG decided to put their own skins.
Now I personally don't like TouchWiz, it's definitely significantly heavier than AOSP, and thus lags time to time, but at the same time its significantly more stable than the Cyanogen ports for Note 3. So if you want real AOSP experience then you will have to opt for Nexus or Motorola or Sony.
Well ... my depends on the hardware, too. Seen my note randomly crashing running stock rom. Got the motherboard exchanged twice which reduces the reboots. The
stagefright update disaster made me switch to cm 12.1 and this is the most stable rom (nightly!) for me so far. So I think there is no such thing as an answer to your question. It really comes down to the hardware in many cases, too. I know loads of 9005 owners who experience crashes on stock rom, me one of them. To me it seems the note 3 is a crashy phone by design. Good luck!

I have the sm-n900w8 and it's been very stable. No random crashes or reboots using stock KK and LP.

Exactly same here. With the OF3 ROM I hit my maximum up time ever, for over 21-22 days, if this is not stability, nothing is.
Hi I've created this thread to know which ROM S4's users use
Feel free to justify your vote !
I use touchwiz ROM (note5 ported rom) because it has some useful features like private mode ,ultra powersaving mode and also because it looks beautiful and I prefer it also because I never found any cynogen build which had good quality camera ...I always felt as if the quality of pictures I take is really bad in cyanogen
Im using a debloated Stock TW ROM with Root. Its okay until I decide to buy a new phone. I tried all the CM, modded TW etc. ROMs but they all had to much problems (Bluetooth, Camera quality etc. with CM, freezing sensors with modded tw roms).
Im using note 5 port from ale95. Its decent. And like because the features. I mean why having a videocall capable phone if we are not going to use it? With cm you dont have it. And the camera....afs.
As everyone know that aosp roms r better & faster then touchwiz .. and i really wanna try aosp based rom .. but ..want to know hows camera performance i mean quality and stabilty and is the stock camera port campetible with aosp roms . ..?? .
Please clear my douts

Stock Samsung Camera is not compatible with aosp or any other Rom which is not based on the stock Samsung Touchwiz firmware.
The quality of aosp or any other non Samsung cameras is very bad. Nothing close to the stock camera.
Also the camera app in aosp type roms lack 90% of the features and options which are found in the stock Samsung camera.
Good luck... Have a great day.
