Hello everyone.
I've decided to open this post on JIRA : https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-4582
It happens that this is problably one of the last updates CM is going to offer for us. Which means newer blobs won't be developed after it. Camera from Cyanogen OS and also CyanogenMod have a very bad picture quality. Creates artifacts as also do not record properly.
We have very poor picture on low light, and a very poor performer on camera quality.
This is related to bad blobs, not only to say that they are almost 2 years old, but also we have this problem since 2014.
So if you do not agree with this Camera quality and want to show CM that you are not happy with this performance. Make a vote, and leave a comment in that link stating your unhappiness with camera.
I believe if we all do this together, we actually will change.
Thanks

There is already a report of that. I think yours will be closed soon. Amd this bug is already exists for a very long time. Maybe you have more success with that. I hope with snapdragon camera many things will be changed and hopefully fixed.
Thats why is switched to sultans rom. He uses a camera hal without that bug.

AFAIK his hal doesnt fix this issues but oxygen blobs, which have other limitations.. Btw his hal perfectly uses all features available even if oxygen didnt implement these..

From what I observed while testing sultans rom, the auto white balance is broken.
Too much blue in daylight when shooting gras, too much red in lowlight situations.
I was annoyed constantly changing the white balance and went back to stock cm.

Maybe a strange question but since I notice you have a knowledge of white balance etc have you ever tried ColorOS ?
I've used it for a long time and I found the camera, and image quality, a lot better than CM. Well it is extremely difficult to check if you can't really compare side to side.
They were able to make the ColorOS camera to work on CM but to be honest I don't think that the result were the same.

Can anyone review Sultan's Camera (CAF Roms) vs CM13/COS13 camera blobs vs Color OS camera blobs?

I've taken some photos mate but for my own use so its stupid things like a photo of my keyboard, and a photo of my face (selfy) the back camera doesnt change too much (for me) but the front camera has a big difference to say its the same camera, still not perfect but much better especially on snapchat. However on snapchat on sultans, the exposer doesnt change where as on cm it does. It removed those weird purple green lines too for when u take a video. :good:
Hey guys, can we make a quick comparison between OOS / CM (stock) / ColorOS HAL/Blobs?
OxygenOS blobs:
+ good image quality
+ best video performance (1080p 60fps with audio; QHD&FHD video on front camera, slow-motion, etc.)
+ manual focus works (with ColorOS app)
- no slow shutter >2sec.
- most ColorOS plugins don't work (e.g. clear image 50mp)
ColorOS blobs:
+ very good image quality
+ fully compatible with ColorOS camera
+ 50MP
+ long exposure up to 64sec.
+ good video performance
- no slow motion (120fps @720p)
- no 1080p 60fps with audio
- only 720p front camera
CM / Stock blobs:
+ long exposure up to 64sec.
+ 50MP clear image
+ slow motion up to 120fps @720p
- worst image quality
- no 1080p @60fps with audio
- only 720p front camera
- bad overall video performance (artefacts, lines, etc.)
Roms:
OOS blobs: cm13 by SultanXDA
ColorOS blobs: cm13 by jpcaap / Darkobas
Stock: Stock Rom / Exodus
If something is wrong or you want to add something, please feel free to comment
What camera blobs that Paranoid Android use?
Did not see this thread before, i would vote if i saw it.

This is something I want to know too. I think its the cm one pal. If your on the rom, go to snapchat and check if exposure is working. If not then its caf, if it is then cm
Now I've been wondering about this for a while! Can't really do scientific comparison on my end, but since now Darkobas uses ColorOS blob, I'm def gonna try it out.
Either way, I wouldn't hope CM develops our camera further...and so far, best over-all camera experience is with Sultan's.
Jumped from Sultan's CM13 rom to CM13 Nightly because of battery issues on Sultan's. All I can say right now picture quality from stock CM13 nightly is decent enough when you turned off Zero Shutter Lag.

I don't share your oppinion, I think that CM13 picture quality is really bad compared to what we had with KitKat.

Yes. I agree with you. Missed the old kitkat days.. Better battery life and camera. Now, I'm on Darkobas that has ColorOS camera hal. The front camera is grainy on Snapchat.. I try to live with that for now. Overall camera quality is decent.. Way better than CM13 camera hal. But still, Sultan's camera hal is the best for our device! I flashed Darkobas because of battery life issues that I faced on Sultan's rom.. If not, Sultan CM13 is the best

Thank you for your recommendation. I have tried CandySix but I still facing battery issues and INT3NESE's Darkobas is too laggy for me I'm on H2OS now.
G2 D800 running CM13 nightly
On stock, the camera app when I am taking a picture and press the shutter button, the app will focus before taking the picture. This normally takes about a second, but gives me much clearer pictures
With any other rom, Bliss, CM13, DirtyUnicorn, etc. the app takes the picture immediately after pressing the shutter button. So I must wait until the picture is fully focused before pressing the shutter button.
This also hurts me because I regularly move the phone slightly when I press the button so pictures almost always comes out blurry unless I am super careful to just barely touch the screen. This is much more difficult to get a decent picture VS the stock camera app.
I can't tell a difference between stock and CM13 camera quality as long as I hold the camera extremely still
Does anyone have any suggestions on options to have the CM13 camera app focus before taking the picture?
The guys from CyanogenMod would say (and I bet there's a disclaimer in the CM13 Nightly thread): "Deal with it. You're using a damn Nightly Build. Don't expect everthing runs properly!"
Why don't you run stable CM13 instead of the nightly version? You wrote the focus runs properly on it.
At last nightlies are naturally meant to be TEST-versions to sort out stuff like this focus problem. If you stick with nightlies just wait for the next nightly. They may fix it with the next build.

Have used cm13 nightly week ago, found no problem of such as you mentioned. If you want something to stick to, always use stable version.

Focus does not work as I would like on stable CM13
Stock = Stock from LG not CM13 stable. Focus works as I would like on stock LG firmware, yet I cannot run marshmallow and new features with it.
I have always experienced this issue with stable/snapshot/nightly CM13 camera. I do consider more of a usability tweak than an actual bug as some people may prefer to take the picture as soon as they press shutter. It would be nice to have an option to focus first then capture or capture immediately.
I have always had this issue with any snapshot/nightly I have run that is CM based. I was hoping people had possibly another camera app they liked.

I have not tried the most recent nightlies as last I looked they were having some issue with adreno blobs. I will check if they have that sorted by now. I think it is more the camera app than any issue with the OS since I have the same problem across many CM based roms. I was hoping people had possibly another camera app they liked.

The snapdragon camera that is built in cm13 is by far the best that worked for me.

Hey is anyone using MOKEE 7.1.1 on there Oneplus 2. How is the battery life and camera. Asking coz I'm getting the device soon.

With a hell lot of beta versions of gcam being developed daily of different variants, I just wanted to know if it's really worth a shot flashing a custom Oreo ROM and using those Gcams, instead of stock Moto Camera. What are your thoughts?
For me, not really, instead i use snap camera hdr , that app give me better results than gcam but gcam has a faster hdr algorithm that can be essencial for fast moving objects for example, or fast pictures snap. The autofocus of gcam never worked that well for me, but the portrait worked very well. On custom rom you lose slowmotion.

Dude don't listen to this duncan dude. gcam is amazing now. focus is just as good as stock camera and the picture quality is miles ahead. even portrait mode works perfectly fine. the only thing is front portrait is noisy on most camera apps. but the results from back camera are comparable to iphone 7 and s8 and pixel.(seriously- cuz g5 plus uses same sensor as pixel 2)

I had Gcam in RR but Slow motion and Paranoma didn't work
The only Benefit of Gcam over Moto cam is Portrait mode
its really good
but due to Volte Issues I had to move to Stock rom.
you can give a Try to Gcam to RR, Worked good for me
Hey! I love this phone but i'm kinda getting tired of my beautiful gcam pictures coming out a little blurry, and not being able to "tap to focus". 9MP is off the table for me since I just can't get myself to like the aspect ratio. So, is there any rom or kernel that fixes it? obviously, it has to be pie.
note: the last time i tried to unlock my bootloader, an error popped up. when i reseted my phone, the official pie update installed itself. would that affect any new attempt at unlocking it?
thank you guys so much in advance!
Many said that the AF problem in Pie disappear when using custom roms and install Flex's HAL1 port. I haven't tried this myself since I'm staying on Oreo.
I've got Lineageos and autofocus with gcam is good.
