So, here's my current predicament. I've been on the cloudy G3 rom for a while and i really like it but i prefer an aosp rom. the only thing is that the camera on his rom has @xdabbeb 's binaries flashed so its really smooth and takes really good photos. are there any aosp roms that have the great camera features on it???
So now that the OTA Lolipop update is rolling out, do you think anyone can upload and port their camera APK and files so that we can FINALLY have a decent camera on custom roms? I would do an OTA update but I am on T-Mobile and not AT&T
Just porting the apk will probably result in a fc, you need the framework too.. Porting all of that and implementing it in AOSP variants could take a long time
The LG G3 camera is about the one thing that is keeping me from putting on a AOSP or CM12 rom. I am impatiently waiting for LG based rom, just debloated like CloudyG 2.1
Is the LG G3 camera that much better then CM12 or Moto camera? would love to see comparison pics.
Porting the Camera from LG stock based rom to a CM12 or AOSP rom is very difficult as LG wont release the sources so trying to do things from scratch is very difficult and the the camera function on CM12 and AOSP roms is very limited and will never compare with a stock based rom in terms of camera. Also just to point out if you check the android development section you will see many custom stock roms.
You could try the latest moto x camera.. Im using it on stock but i think it works on cm too

Hello, I got my cousin's Redmi 2, so I was hoping to put Custom ROMs. I've been searching around, but didn't seem to find the best stable ROM. I need a daily driver, and it doesn't need to be Marshmallow, but an upgrade from KitKat would be nice. I love the Lollipop UI. But still, I give my preference to the most stable ROM, since I don't want juggle around every single custom ROM available.
Thank You!
UPDATE 21/03.
Thank you guys for the poll! MIUI was getting all RAM sucky so I needed to get a Custom ROM. I've tried Nexus Experience, Resurrection Remix, HTC Remix, and Kuma's CyanogenMod 13.
Nexus Experience: It has same user interface you get from Nexus, but it lacks multitasking capabilities. Besides most of the ROMs in stock looks like this, so I wouldn't recommend this. Link to Download, Credits:Nexus Exp. team
HTC Remix: This ROM is bulky in size, I've waited for 3-4 hrs for it to complete the download, and when I installed, the recovery ended with an error. But from the reviews, it said it has some camera bugs with the stock cam but Snapdragon cam is working. It didn't have the HTC Dialer also. If you switched from an HTC and want the HTC UI, you should take this. Link to Download, Credits:(--light--)
Resurrection Remix: This ROM was good, but compared to CM13, this ROM sucked battery more and at the first boot, the status bar had some lag issues, but after one or two reboots, it was working perfect. Besides that, no problem, this is the second best ROM. Link to Download, Credits:nick37332001
Kumajaya's CM13: This is by far the best ROM I've tried. Battery is the best, considerable less lag while multi-tasking, good gaming performance, and the basic MM UI. I didn't find any bugs at all. If you're looking for the best ROM, this is the one. Link to Download Credits:ketut.kumajaya
I've also found that, newbies to ROM flashing tend to think Official ROMs and Builds are better than Unofficial ones. This is a wrong perception. Kuma's build's are unofficial, but it had a much better performance compared to Nexus Experience. What counts is how much work the devs put into this.
Hope this thread becomes helpful to both users as well as developers. Great work, devs. Hope you keep up the good work.
Hello Venkatesh, Im using 2014818 too. Can you tell me which ROM are you using? Also, even after I flashed Custom recovery, I still see stock recovery, but from there Im able to access TWRP. is this expected behavior? Please tell stable roms for Redmi 2 2014818

Blisspop ROM
I have flashed Blisspop ROM, run smoothly until now ( more than 2 days)
Kumajaya's Marshmellow as daily driver. Using since last december, never crash-rebooted and rare bugs. Battery could have been better. And camera, obviously you can't beat MIUI's stock camera but it's all right.
cm 13 by kuma is already stable because basic functionality of redmi 2 is now working been using till now
Thanks guys! I've updated my OP, with reviews.
@rohitaar I'm too on cm 13 its smooth stable,but have you tried aosp caf,if yes how's it? I like idea of pure aosp ROM on which I could use xposed if I want any feature.Please review it if you can
I must add the (at least) here, none of the MM ROMs has a working adb, and some of has GPS issues

Do not believe this guy, I've been using ADB for like every ROM to batch install the APKs which I've backed up from the Stock MIUI.
ADB works perfectly. Also, I love Here Maps more than Google Maps, and it has no problems at all. Brother, if you have any issues with your phone, you should check it with the manufacturers, or at least other users, see if they have any issues.

@rohitsonone No.. I had a look at it, but the UI seemed too Ice-Sandwich type! You see the screenshots! Guess I'm happy with CM13! You can use xposed in CM 13, no problems, although I don't want any tweaks.
I dont think kuma's cm13 ROM has best battery. I mean it is not to hurt him, but the marshmallow changes which forces us to enable gps for wifi functionality is the thief. It sucks battery like hell. But cm13 of kuma had awesome camera and it had no lags at all !! Very clean and smooth UI. As the kernel source has been released for redmi 2 we will have wait for some good battery management tweaks. PS: I am using kuma's cm12.1 as my daily driver and it has no problem at all except camera quality and the battery management(better than cm13 but still . . .)
can anyone help me with the audio bug? {audio playing with speaker and headphones.} the roms i used tends to work normally for 10 reboots. but after some reboots the audio bug kicks in. audio playing with speaker and headphones. hope thats the bug with roms. I have used Ressurection Remix both 5.1 and 6.0.
Hi everyone!!!
Right now I am using Nougat ROMs, currently AOSCP with Di4Mond which fix camera... But I think we can get more from these cameras...
I think it is a great idea debating which are the best combinations for best camera... In MIUI (which version), in CM13, in CM14 and overall...
I start, don't worry...
-MIUI: Stock
-CM13, same on all ROMs, PMS Camera
-CM14, Beanstalk/Di4Mond kernel, PMS Camera/Google Camera
And what about u?
Best MIUI version for u? Kernel?
Regards!
PS: Poll made. U can select various options... If possible, select one for MIUI, one for CM13, one for CM14 or just one overall... Pls comment!
Something i would like to know also, best rom for cam or at least best app
Well. I guess i liked the cm13 stock camera. Satisfied with that one. Also cm14 cam is not bad, its still good.

And what about MIUI?

For me only miui is working. I flashed cm 13 and firmware and fingerprint and camera aren't working... How i can solve this?
Are you on TheStrix's or Santhosh's build?
Have you flashed the appropriate firmware?
If you're on ThStrix's CM13, I believe there's a radio.zip to fix the fingerprint and camera problem
Mine is cardinal aosp + open camera. Cm based roms have many major issues incl. Poor Camera quality
Hi, can I use the stock camera on custom roms like LineageOS and Paranoid Android?
I tried it on Lineage a while ago by backing it up from OxygenOS but it just crashed.

Apparently it's not quite straight forward as just an APK.
Otherwise every ROM would have it installed.
If you're currently on a custom ROM give pro camera x or fv camera a try, they were the best I could find. Eventually I went back to OOS as it's simply superior to GCam, regardless what people say about GCam it just isn't as good and nowhere near as stable
