What's reason behind the Moto camera not working properly on custom ROM as it works on Stock. Can we hope there will a custom ROM in future which will support Moto camera??

In my experience, InvictaOS works with the Moto camera from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/stock-camera-t3540473 without requiring any further modifications. I've been able to use video, professional mode and slow motion without issue, and links to Google Photos nicely. Your experience may vary. For point and shoot, the ported HTC camera is very quick too:https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/los-aosp-base-temporal-fix-camera-t3574480
As for your other question, I imagine stock apps have had issues running on some custom ROMs because of differences in the backend camera support of the stock ROM with the custom ROM and/or the proprietary software used in the stock. I also imagine for some custom ROMs, getting one camera app to behave properly isn't a high priority compared to security and general fixes/features for the rest of the ROM, especially given the wealth of camera apps on the market.

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 compared shots taken with the stock LG camera vs the stock jelly bean camera, and the results are dramatic. The LG camera wins hands down, so I'm just curious if AOSP roms would work with the LG camera.
Also, are we going to see custom kernels for this device?
Don't worry, you'll still be able to use your camera. However the stock LG camera app will probably be replaced with focal or something similar.

What he's asking is if we can still use lgs camera app... Because I agree aosp sucks...
Of the stock camera isn't reliant on the framework then yes.. Otherwise no

I doubt we will see a camera with all the options of the LG G2 stock app, but there will be options. Focal is one. Generally manufacturers apps don't make it into AOSP or CM roms, I think because they require other framework or files that aren't included in in the custom roms.
Look at the size of a CM rom, and then at an original rom, and you'll probably see a difference of 500MB+ (i.e. lots of proprietary files not there in AOSP or CM)
As for Kernels, I would think there will be some on the way. There are already a couple, so I'm sure more work will be done to increase the offering.

That makes sense, but it kind of sucks to lose the improvements that LG made. The options are one thing, but the difference in image quality is huge comparing it to AOSP camera .
Don't give up your hopes too soon, as you may already know there's alot of third party camera ported to work with all device including those that uses AOSP roms in Android Apps section.. And they usually comes with their proprietary libs/so to make their functions work..
Although none of them are 100% perfect as they're not intended to be used on other device in the first place, LG cam should work better on LG devices.. Time will tell..
costum kernel will be available soon after the devs gets their hands dirty on the SD800 SoC..
i'm interested about porting the moto x always listening feature to the G2, as the latter has the chip to do so..
So I'm new to rooting my Pure (not in general, been rooting forever) and I just installed AICP and have a few questions.
I realized right away there is no active display (Moto display? is there a difference?) which I'm guessing is due to the fact that AICP is an AOSP-based rom, which after some searching, I'm finding is incompatible with non-stock roms. This is new to me as I thought Moto's stock firmware WAS AOSP to begin with.
Basically, first of all, what's the major differences between moto's stock FW and AOSP? I'm coming from an LG G2 and a Galaxy S3 before that so I knew those systems were heavily modified and skinned by the manufacturer, but I was under the impression that the moto X was as close to AOSP as you could get - but apparently not *the same thing*.
And, if I can't get moto/active display on AOSP, is there a good alternative? I tried enabling ambient display but it doesn't work at all for some reason. Also if AOSP roms are fundamentally different from stock, does that mean there's some way I can enable DT2W somehow? That was probably my favorite feature of LG's phones and while the moto display didn't fully scratch that itch, I got used to it enough while I was unrooted. If none of this is possible, should I just use a stock ROM? What will I be losing (or unwillingly gaining, through bloatware I guess) by not going the AOSP route?
EDIT: I should probably add that I just disable the lock screen entirely. Hence why I really like being able to just DT2W or wave and swipe to get into the phone. Additionally I never really cared about the battery drain because I always carry a little Anker portable battery with me.
Stock 6.0.1 with franken is the best option. I like aosp but they just can't get it up to par with stock yet.
Your right that the MXPE is not the same as AOSP, but it is very close. Appearance wise, no difference except for some settings items and a few apps. I would recommend sticking with modified stock ROMs. Fewer issues with drivers.

Hey guys! For the first time I am having a device Nexus and I am very happy. But I would like to test new ROMs customized. in my devices previous (non-Nexus) whenever opted for any ROM AOSP or CM based, the camera had lower quality compared to the stock, because the manufacturers not release their drivers owners for parallel development. Thus, always have CM drivers generic in the camera and other parts of the device.
I wonde then, if we Nexus happens otherwise. Google provides these codes for developers? I will lose quality in photographs case use another ROM AOSP based?
Grateful for the replies!
There isn't a custom ROM that will degrade your photo quality on the 6p.

Indeed: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers
Additionally, the blobs/drivers can be easily extracted from a rooted device/the factory images. So all in all, no, you do not have to worry about any issues with the camera or any other hardware with custom ROMs (aside from Bluetooth with CM based ROMs).
Pardon me if it's a noob question
Just wanted to know that whether camera capabilities like the potrait mode and other tweaks will be affected when running a custom rom?
If so, what differences could one expect?

Not completely sure. But from what I understand so far. If it is a stock based, custom ROM, then stock camera app is there to function same as always.
But for non stock ROMs (Lineage, Resurrection Remix, AOSP), it seems camera functionally will be significantly reduced (OnePlus aren't delivering camera blobs by the sounds of things). And because of that, not sure what community is able to do in that regard
