I just flashed a Slim ROM and love it, Unfortunately the Camera software is lacking compared to Samsung's.
Is there a comparable APK? or has anyone ported the GS4 APK over?
Or any Good suggestions?
Thanks-

There is no compatible APK to get the Samsung Touchwiz camera back.
All of the AOSP/AOKP/CM10 type roms have the downgraded cameras.
You will also find that if you play back video on these downgraded cameras the volume will be super low,
you will need a hearing aid. There are numerous other issues with these AOSP/AOKP/CM10 roms.
The only way you can get the excellent Samsung Touchwiz Jellybean camera is to only flash
Samsung Jellybean Touchwiz based custom roms.
Good luck with it.
Hey guys. Let's discuss about the ROMs we use.
So I've tried both TouchWiz and AOSP style ROMs before. These are my opinion for them:
TouchWiz:
+ great UI
+ more features than AOSP
+ has TV out
+ less bugs
+ multiwindow
- sometimes slow and laggy
AOSP
+ great advance features
+ mostly customizable
+ super fast and almost lag free
+ try new versions of Android
- no tv out
- no sim card contacts support
So can I get you guys's opinion?
It will be great if you can introduce me ROMs that have TV out and probably many Samsung features too.. Best is 4.2 and onwards
Thanks ! Hope to hear from you guys
For me,stock is better for daily use.AOSP are also good but one thing that i hate about these roms is bad battery life.With stock,i can get 5-6 hrs screen on time.With AOSP,i get 3-4 hrs screen on time.

AOSP being super fast and lag free on the S2 is a myth really. HW composer does not work on non samsung based roms meaning no project butter. That alone makes stock based roms a much more fluid experience even if it may not be as fast at opening apps for example.
try charmeleon rom base on jb 4.2.1 has a feauture of all aosp pure stock vanilla android hehe

I find roms like CM/OMNI better than stock in many ways, but I can't stand camera drivers, these are terrible In TouchWiz we have all sorts of enhancements like real time focus, blinking detection and for me it's the only disadvantage of these roms.
is there a port of tw for ASOP 4.4 builds? i dont like the ASOP notification bar .....is hideous and has way less functionality
Aosp based - no project butter
Camera is pathetic
Battery life poor
Superb performace
Happy feeling to run latest android
Highly customisable
Sammy rom
- slow bt fluid
- superb camera
- bloated (can be removed)
-much better handling for high end games
- touchwiz ui (I like it more wid touchwiz)
-good battery life
-feeling of being ancient (when u run 4.1 even when kitkat has been launched for months)

On the hw composer part, is it specific to the S2? Or also the other S devices? like the S3 or S4 for example.

Except for the galaxy s ... Which was identical to nexus s
I would prefer touchwiz...
More features and stability and also good battery life
I have tried so many AOSP/AOKP roms... but in the end I keep coming back to stock samsung based rom
AOSP roms are really beautiful and faster when it comes to opening apps. Samsung Stock based roms are just the most appropriate choice for daily use... much better battery life, can share contacts with a car's BT device, faster and better quality camera, much better performances when gaming.
its that much better battery life on stock compared to new kitkat or 4.3 aosp aokp?
stock rom+stock kernel is better then all of others when talking abt battery?
If only there's a ROM with AOSP and TouchWiz together with those latest features from AOSP and TouchWiz .. Hhahaa

Yes it is. All you have to do is to take a debloated stock ROM. Philz kernel is just fine (stock kernel rooted).

Last time I checked, ppl reported few bugs. For example the quick settings bug.
Few months ago I tried an older version, but I came back to stock touchwiz. I had quite a few bugs all over the place (clean install).

Aosp based is better
Aosp can have any kernel
only cm based ROM need special kernel made only for them.
Thank you, So far ive found that SlimKat is the best for the D802 with the least amount of bugs, will be flashing Render Kernel in about 10 minutes to see the advantages
Stock + Xposed. More stable and the camera is better. The slight gains in battery and performance on AOSP are minimal and not worth losing the camera and stability (the g2 is a beast anyways and I get great battery life and speed on stock)
Uh how are you guys coping with the lack of the LG camera gap. I mean the Google camera sucks, and the mod by Jishnu sucks.
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Free mobile app
@NuroKnight calm down xd some people aren't making pictures everyday so aosp based roms are okay for them. Jishnu did his best to port the features, don't forget that you can't port any app like that easily and LG has putten alot of money and effort into their camera software to make it kickass, also in lowlight.
Just wondering if you can get the Samsung stock camera on custom roms?
If so, is the quality any better or is it worse?
If it's a Touchwiz based custom ROM then it will have the Samsung camera. If it's an AOSP or CM based ROM then it won't have the Samsung camera.
The camera issues have always stopped me from running AOSP or CM based ROMs on my main phone. They normally have great features and battery life but for some reason they haven't resolved the camera issue on Samsung phones that's plagued them since day one.
you could always use the htc camera if you are running aosp or cm..it is somewhere on xda
Hi I'm new to the galaxy s4 (i9506) I usually rock a oneplus3,
what rom should i get for my girlfriend if she wants a snappy ROM with the best camera and good battery life?
She is not using it for gaming so I don't care if it stutters a little there?
Priorities:
1. Camera
2. Speed
3. Battery
Go for cyanogenmod

TouchWiz. People say the TouchWiz camera quality is better than custom ROM's camera.
So if camera is top priority, then she might as well stay on the stock ROM.
I have got good camera performance out of recent AOSP based builds.

I mean, I just don't want it to be ****, but speed and battery is very important too, are there roms that are a sweet mix of all three?

In my opinion, camera quality on custom ROMs isn't bad at all. I'm just telling you what the vast majority of people say.
Also, TouchWiz is a resource hog, so TouchWiz ROMs will never have the same performance as AOSP or Lineage ROMs.
