I'm currently running CM11 (4.4.2) Verizon G2. While looking around the board at different mods (new to the phone.....) I noticed there was a 4k camera mod, but it only worked on stock LG mods.... Sad face. So I set out to find one for CM/AOSP... Saw jishnu's camera... But he is gone, and the project is no longer supported, so no download links. I can't find anything else, but I would really like to be able to use this camera to its best potential. Does anyone know of any decent camera mods for AOSP?
I've been doing a lot of testing comparing photos taken on Touchwiz and photos taken on CM and the end result is that basically , photos taken with Snap camera on CM12 seem to look just as good as those taken on samsung camera app on a touchwiz Rom.
However, every app I try for CM12 seems to have a slow burst rate ( around 1 per second) when in burst mode.
e.g.
+Snap camera on touchwiz seems to take burst photos at the same speed as samsung camera app. ( 5+ frames per second-ish!?)
+Snap camera on CM12 burst mode can only take photos at around 1 frame per second.
Is this something that can be tweaked in the CM rom, or is it a limitation of the camera driver available to CM?
Hmm noone knows anything? no reply here and no reply when I asked in CM dev threads either.

Sorry I'm wont be of any help but I too am looking for answer to this. Its the one last thing I need on a CM12 ROM. I'm trying to figure out if its an app or ROM issue. I suspect it comes down to the camera hal on CM12 that needs changing. I've been trying to search the net for answers but your post is as close as I have come to finding an answer. I am thinking of looking at CM12 source code to see if there are any answers there. Currently I have tried ported Oppo camera and ColorOS cameras for OnePlus One phones. They can take pics super fast and look to be the answer until I try burst mode and then its just sits a 1 photo taken and wont "burst" so to speak.
If you have found out any more info on the matter since your original posting please let me know and in return I will post what I find.
Here is what I have been trying so far. Better than anything I find in the Play store.

I didn't have any joy i'm afraid. I bored of asking and being ignored!
Previous versions of CM seemed to have faster burst which suggested to me it was a ROM issue but there seems to be zero information on it.
I have used many ROMs based on Lineage OS here.
Testing camera performance especially front camera for selfie.
MIUI camera delivers exceptionally amazing selfies.
I have tested Open Camera on MIUI and the selfie quality went bad, selfies became dull as same as they are in Lineage cameras.
This means the App is the key to better selfies.
If its possible to Port that app, Many users on internet willing to donate for the same.
Also this will improve overall device feel and experience on LineageOS.
If this thread becomes capable to attract at least one developer who shows interest in this we will be lucky.
Participate with your ideas and try to attract Developers here.If you are willing to Donate for this project kindly do mention.
I've seen this happen on every Xiaomi phone I've owned. On all of them there's a thread of people really wanting a port of the MIUI camera, but on none of them is it possible. The MIUI camera is part of the MIUI framework and won't work without it. So unless someone makes a Magisk module of the MIUI framework that plays nicely with AOSP and ports the camera it won't be possible
Guys please participate in this thread.
Participation is only key to get Dev attention.

I just found this MIUI5 port that works on Marshmallow (I don't know if works in Nougat): (Sharing)(APP) MIUICamera App
Maybe this could help to find a way to port the newer versions.

Not useful, people who used it are saying it's working as a normal camera app only.
And I tried, not working in my phone.

I think that is just the app, it doesn't include the low level firmware optimisations. It doesn't work on the MI5,and it's based on MIUI5 which is 4years old. The fact that we haven't made progress post that is testiment to how difficult it is to port the camera firmware. Atm the only solution is dual bootiing, and using a MIUI based ROM if you go out to take pictures (like on a holiday). It's ****ty, but it's what we're stuck with. Google Camera works OK on Lineage for quick snaps anyway.
Wait for next update of the snap camera. I am sure it will rock
I have realized that MIUI has really developed its camera app over the time, even if some other camera app are launched. They will not catchup with this app. Hence if we have a scope to use this existing piece of work we must port it rather than focusing on other means.
I just hope some developer has seen this thread and considering to take on this project.
will a camera port be ever available?
I really like the MIUI camera because the focus peaking option, who else ?
guys I have talked to developers, they are saying that it's not possible to port this camera.
And if it was possible, someone in XDA community would have already ported it like these is Google camera.
So if you want great photos, be on MIUI.
Guys, Sad news is Developers have denied to make any such port.
They say MIUI camera has something to do with Miui framework also this camera is Closed Source.
Sadly in summary If you want to use your phone for camera stay on MIUI only.
Use raw shooting for max quality for both AOSP and MIUI. As it pulls raw data without any touch you can get superrior quality compared to MIUI camera app.

Hi, after pixel experience my front cam isn't working the phone keeps on lagging and mic dosent record well during video recording plus video stability show mo and night vision not working well. Although the Rom was awesome i appreciate all your afforts ? thanks team XDA
Sounds like you're using Gcam 6.x. Did it work well before PE update? Btw ROM related questions should be asked in its respective thread.
Hi guys!
I'm about to buy this device, but I read that bad microphone audio quality bug affects this mobile too. Even my current Redmi 3S had this issue, but luckily there is a patch for this device, which fixes this issue and in theory it can be ported to another devices too:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi...fix-fixing-bad-sound-video-recording-t3523171
Sadly I don't have the knowledge to do this, but I wonder if someone could make a Magisk version of this for lavender. It would help a lot of people.
It will be great If anyone could make a fix. Terrible sound recording while Metallica concert 2days ago.
There's a fix for AOSP roms, that maybe works in MIUI too , I use miui.eu and I tried to flash it, and audio seems good now: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...-improve-audio-recording-video-calls-t3939963
