Hey guys,
I Love CM/AOSP ROMs but often find the camera somewhat lacking compared to the Touchwiz one, any recommendations for a good camera app?
The pre-installed snap camera is as good as it gets for cm/aosp based roms
you can get the HTC Camera (Search HTC Camera old on google) its really good. i use that on my TW rom i think its better
As far as the S5 goes - I can give you the answer, because I also have the same device. I'm using Snap Camera HDR (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marginz.snap&hl=en). The stock CM camera lacks saturation and this app allows you to increase it. I've actually compared pictures from both TouchWiz and CM based ROMs and I can say that when you increase the saturation to 8 or 9, you absoulutelly can't tell the difference.
The stock camera that comes with ResurrectionRemix is Terrible... Especially in Low Light.
Just tried that, and it doesn't seem to be storing the photos are taking em haha. Forgot to mention i'm using a MM rom.
The only down side to snap camera (pro) is how it handles low light photos compared to TW.
Other than that I agree with the rest, snap camera is the best it gets.
PS. Looking into the HTC camera being recommended, will return with results.
I there! I can suggest two pay apps:
A BETTER CAMERA - good quality camera, the one I use with stock ROM. It supports real HDR, video recording (only 1080p) with HDR (I think it's same as Rich Tone HDR of stock camera), panorama mode, and DRO (Dynamic Range Optimization) that is very similar to Rich Tone HDR (it's a post-processing filter that fix overall exposure of the photos and can save both original and fixed shots).
PRO CAPTURE - another good camera, it's support natively Samsung Rich Tone HDR (in Scene Mode it's simply called HDR) but photos is little darker thank stock camera. I don't know if support this function with custom ROMs. Photo quality is very good, but this one not support video recording.

Hi all, I 've been thinking of buying a new phone & I really like the g2 very much but the only thing that is stopping me is the camera performance.
Can someone please tell me after the Jishu/xdadebb mod how is the camera performance under low light, how is the autofocus in low light also is the continuous autofocus in the video problem resolved. How much is the shutter lag after the mod.
I really want to buy this device for the camera & its under my budget if the camera ain't good enough even after the mods I may go with oppo find 7a/oneplus one which are in the same budget but have better camera.
I dont capture my photos in low light. But the camera is pretty amazing with xdadebb mod, and Mi2Raw enables the G2 to capture raw footage as well.
The G2 and G3 has the same camera sensor, just that the G3 has a Z-Axis image stabiliser and laser autofocus. So if I were you, I'll go look at those camera comparisons on review sites comparing the G3, OnePlus One and the Oppo.
Edit: Video performance is pretty good too. xdadebb camera mod allows for tap to focus in video to focus your subject and it works well. It has object tracking too!
Edit 2: With dorimanx's kernel, I was able to turn down the mic gain when I was at a concert. That + the stereo recording = pretty awesome recording
Thanks @lowjinyik.
Anyone else using these mods please comment about the low light performace after the mod.
I haven't tried taking pictures in low-light conditions yet, I should, will do and compare later but under bright, sunshine outdoor, with Normal mode, I see virtually no difference in term of performance and image quality. There are several features that I haven't tried out yet.

The low light camera quality is good. The mod makes very little difference to low light pictures.
Thanks guys for your responses. I think I might go with oppo find7. It's better than the g2 in every aspect except battery life & OS updates. Which can be taken care by the VOOC charger & custom roms respectively.
Until now camera is not good in lineage OS 14.1 but which is the best app so far?
this camera is not good, end of story, if you really need a great camera you should bought another phone.
Go back to stock.
Does anyone have the EUI camera app APK to side load?

No, camera Sensor is not Bad, but in lineage OS 14.1 it is not good. I think maybe if Nougat will be released official, the camera will improve and it will make its way to lineage OS 14.1 too.
Dies this make sense?

Can we simply install it as apk?
Try SnapIt camera
I dont find snapit.
Is there any other good camera app. Maybe an .apk to download driectly
Google camera is good
I've just switched to A Better Camera. So far so good, has HDR & Panarama options, easy to use UI. It does go wonky with displayed aspect ratios when previewing, but the pictures turn out good.

+1 for A Better Camera app. Works very well compared to stock app.
the best camera are 2:
1) a better camera (but the gui is horrible)
2) snap camera hdr
see you!
I use open camera. It's a very powerful app. You can adjust ISO, expose time, manual focus, expose lock. It's almost with all the function of SLR. I love it very much.
just curious. does anyone have any photo comparisons of stock vs lineage? i bought the phone recently and it shipped with lineage so i have no idea what the camera difference actually was, but i do think that camera kinda sucks. my s5 shot better photos.
Not specific for Lineage, but is there a camera app that do digital image stabilization for video?
I think the picture mode is quite decent with stock camera app, but the video mode is disastrous...
+1 on Open Camera. Also looking at but haven't yet downloaded or tested Qualcom's Snapdragon Camera. I also think the Snapdragon camera may be our default Lineage camera - so I'll likely stick with Open Camera.
Camera
I'm using moto z ported camera app. It's better then lineageOs one.

I tried:
google camera, it doesn't work;
jishnu htc one m9 (and m10) camera ports, work but are buggy;
open camera, not so great after all.
So far the best one, and i'm settled on it with my rom, is aforementioned moto z camera app.
cheers
Comparative (I'm with LOS 14.1 Superluminal Team):
Bacon Camera - https://lensdump.com/i/KKzs9
Google Camera con HDR+ - https://lensdump.com/i/KKlZo
A Better Camera Unlocked - https://lensdump.com/i/KKOci
EDIT:
Here new Photos
Bacon Camera - https://lensdump.com/i/Kz0OA - https://lensdump.com/i/KzjTq - https://lensdump.com/i/KSJa3 - https://lensdump.com/i/KS6dr

A Better Camera Unlocked - https://lensdump.com/i/KzAn0 - https://lensdump.com/i/Kz28F - https://lensdump.com/i/KSR4T - https://lensdump.com/i/KSki7
Personal opinion: After a careful analysis of the photos, I think that Bacon Camera is the one that keeps the details "richer" even if it tends to underexpose the photos.
The photos with Bacon Camera are indeed "uncompressed" in BMP format.
Google Camera and A Better Camera Unlocked (both with HDR enabled) have a better balance of lights and shadows, but they lose a lot of detail by mixing more photos.
just as the title states,
what is the camera app that you found to take best quality wise photos with S5, I've noticed that stock lineageos app takes very unfocused photos and takes a lot to focus in video mode, also I tried SnapIt with works better but a lot of modes just crashes app and I also tried Oxygeon os v8 cam app and it just doesn't have many options, I can't even set photo resolution.
Please recommend me something better.
I have the same problem
I read/heard hat Open Camera is a very good one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.sourceforge.opencamera&hl=en
and the camera from oneplus:

I now tested: LOS, CameraMX, Footej, OnePlus and Open Camera. Neither of these Apps could give me acceptable picture quality in low light scene. Is there any other recommendation? Maybe an App that is specialized in dark scenes? I don't care too much about features but about quality.

Thanks, in fact it's the best dark scene Camera of all. But still far away from Stock quality.
Made pictures of my room wallpaper with the monitor as the sole indirect light. Tested each Camera with and without HDR with automatic settings and no camera light.
On Stock Camera noise is extremely low and you can clearly recognize the muster. Taking pictures with this camera takes twice the time at least.
Snap Camera has a lot of noise but muster is still recognizable.
Open Camera has a little more noise but you can recognize the shadows/transitions a little better.
Footej and LOS Camera seem to be in about same league and far to dark.
OnePlus Camera is almost black even though I used the brightness adjuster (only in this App).
I know most of the Apps have a lot manual settings and a professional could most probably get more out of it, which might result in different ranking of the Apps. But I'm no pro like many/most phone camera users.
Clearly software algorithm of Stock Camera is on a totally different level for the S5.
While you can't see big differences in good light/scenes/situations, you can see it more as the light/scenes/situations get worse.
On my Note3 previously, it shot decent pics on the samsung ROM, but when I flashed custom ROMs (AOSP) and used the non-samsung camera app pics looked horrible.
Currently on a Nexus 6p, and I like the fact that irregardless of the ROM I use, the default camera app (e.g. Google Camera) can always shoot nice pics.
Contemplating the OP5 - is this the same with OP5? If I move from the stock ROM to any of the custom ROMs, will the camera app consistently be able to shoot the same quality pics/videos?
I stand to be corrected here..
Currently the OP camera isn't available on non-oxygen stock roms.
The quality of photos using Google Camera (or other non-OP camera apps) is generally as good as the OP camera app, and some people would say better, as the OP camera app has aggressive smoothing which is noticeable when you zoom in on a photo. The watercolour effect.
The downside of non-OP camera apps is that there isn't support for the second lens. This rules out the 2X optical zoom, and also the OP Portrait mode.
There is also a lack of support for 1080p 60fps video, and I *think* EIS for 1080p and 4k videos.
There is OOS camera in RR unofficial
Hi,
I'm opening this thread to discuss the several camera options there are available, so that all are informed by the options available.
There is OOS camera with HD and HDR.
There Paranoid camera which claims to be even better than stock OOS
Sultan camera, which sultanxda put a lot of effort improving the camera
GCam port that has HDR+
Share your experience with each, saying which camera you like best. If possible, detail the best camera that:
- provides the most accurate color
- provides the best motion/action picture
- provides the best low light condition
Share your photos indicating the camera app was used.
I personally use gcam to do most of my shooting. It provides the best dynamic range and image "crispness". I also enjoy how quick it shoots too.
The only time I'll switch from it is to shoot raw and manual on the Stock OOS camera.
When I'm shooting video (1080p 60fps) I usually use the OOS camera just because 60fps in gcam stutters for me on occasion.

No I have not, I ran PA 7.3 for a while, but never used the PA camera. Currently running OB17

I'm very curious about PA. Can you share some pics?
I have used paranoid android 7.3 and I have realised that OOS camera is the best in low lighting as PA camera also does well in good lighting condition.
Paranoid camera app is very good. 60 fps on 1080p works very good. It is snappy too. OOS camera on latest beta not that snappy.

What do you think about low light photos in PA? And motion pictures? Can you share some pics?
I have used the OOS camers on OB17 / OB16 / OB15
I have also used the Google camera app.
In my opinion the OOS camera app is better at low-light shooting plus regular shooting is pretty good. I have not tried the latest ported version of the OP5 OOS camera app but I am curious, so will probably try at some point.
I have not used PA. The Sultanxda camera app has a boatload of options which in my opinion is overkill for a regular user like me.

I hasn't used paranoid ever, can't help in this regard, i myself curious about paranoid
Thats my usage:
Low light: Google cam with HDR+
Daylight in raw: OOS
Daylight jpg: Google cam with HDR+
Video: OOS
Personally I'm using Google Camera for quick shots at college, but at parties or something, I'm shooting RAWs with Snap Camera HDR - because it limits max ISO to 799, where OOS can go up to 3200 (and leave you with very much noise).
For videos I'm using OOS camera - recording 1080p60.
Daytime: Stock OOS Cam
Nighttime: Google Cam HDR+ :good:
Is there a version of the updated PA camera from 7.3.1? for me PA Cam so far gave the best results regarding image detail, since it doesnt use noise reduction, or it can at least be setup so.

Even compared with OOS?
Some photos I took solely to note the differences in low light for noise and color reproduction:
17-06-22 - OnePlus 3T - ROM & Camera Image Processing Comparison - Paranoid, Sultan, Oxygen
https://goo.gl/photos/BUFDMEc4uThYXuoW6
I currently use the Google Camera port with HDR, though for long exposures I use the OxygenOS camera, and also like that one for full resolution bursts.

Just compare the file sizes of those two camera apps, the details in OOS cam get a disgusting watercolor effect.
the ones from PA cam look nice and are like 10mb bigger than OOS camera ones.

The new PA update should improve the camera app. It is possible to compare with that version? Specially in low light and motion/action shots? I like OOS camera, but in low light and motion/action shots... Could be better. I'm curious about PA in these scenarios

No, as this was all done months ago and I wouldn't be able to set up the exact same scene, and don't wish to re-flash all of the various roms, rename files, etc.
...Though I'd certainly pay for a good photographer to do this with the various ROMs in different conditions.
