Somewhat Stock Camera App for Nougat (GT-i9505) - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
Been trying around different ROMs and I like the LinageOS 14.1 the best so far. The only thing that I really don't like is the camera "issue". I have tried several apps including Camera Zoom FX, Open Camera, Camera MX & Camera FV-5. Too bloated, slow and over-complicated for my taste. The stock camera app would be great, or even better the ported S6 Camera thats in the Super WizCyan ROM. Or some other of the S-stock cameras.
Been searching around a lot and found nothing. Does it not exist or am I a worthless searcher? Thanks

A stock-based camera will require a stock-based TW ROM.

[Q] Best Camera for AOSP based ROMs

Hey there guys, was just wondering what the best camera apps are for the note 3 when running an AOSP based ROM.
Obviously you lose the Samsung one and the one included with the ROMs all produce blurry and grainy photos.
So do any of you know of some nice alternatives that provide pictures on par or as close as the stock camera (i don't really want to go back to TW just yet)
Thanks in advance!
Camera FV-5
Procapture
CameraZoom FX
Try any of these, they're the more professional camera apps.

[Q] S5 TW Camera vs AOSP/Google

I'm considering moving from TW to AOSP but what kept me on TW on the S4 was the Camera. I had horrible quality compared to the TW roms while being on AOSP. Flashed many ROMs and it was always the same but maybe it was just me.
Anyone that tried an AOSP ROM, how is the camera picture and video quality compared to the TW one?
Edit: Please delete this post, wrong forum.

I think if you try Google camera from the playstore it will give you an accurate representation of AOSP rom's camera.
Possibly not that accurate if they use different different camera drivers.
Exactly. I've also noticed that Google Camera also does not catch details like Samsung TW Camera while testing it on my TW Rom :/

best rom for camera usage?

Couldn't find an answer to this question I think is so so important,especially when putting a new ROM rather than roots +Xposed for instance..
So please guys do other Roms( like the ported nightly cm and dirty unicorns etc. )
Actually have a better camera app/experience with them?
Working manual controls like iso and shutter speed?
No problem with raw?
And just overall quality?
Been looking for an answer for months now to this question..so please help
Using your camera is the same on any ROM. Moto Camera can even be installed from the play store if that's your preferred camera app.
it really depends on the camera app you use more than the ROM. Try out a few different apps, like OpenCamera or Qualcomm's snapdragon camera (you'll have to find the APK on this site and install it)

Best Camera for Custom ROM

hey guys, just wondering if you guys can list your recommendation for best alternate camera on R4P when using a custom rom (LOS, RR, etc)?
Biggest annoyance for me i've noticed is "shutter lag"; the viewfinder tends to pause and i have to wait before i can take the next picture. Which doesn't really happen with the default MIUI camera.
I've tried a couple, open, snap, htcfix, but yet to find one truly that's smooth. Any recommendations?
The cyanogenmod camera that comes stock with mokee/los seems to be working best for me. Have tried a bunch of camera apps and they all either have a ****ty UI or are functionally deficient in some way. Google camera would be great (love that HDR+) but it crashes when switching to video mode.

Yeah.. not sure why it is but the shutter lag just really kills me. I'm half tempted to go back to MIUI just for the camera. Best one for me i've tried so far is the HTC one.
Guess have to wait and see if Camera2 api makes any difference

I use Open Camera, it has a lot options to customize camera behaviour. I like it's UI.
Has anyone of u tested new ported MIUI camera on custom rom? i dont own anymore r4p but i see lot of u still have trouble with camera and recording.

Open camera is the best for photos, better than footej

Camera Quality With Custom ROMs

Hi There,
one of the main reasons why I bought the S7 Edge initially was its great camera.
The reason why I haven't yet installed a Custom Rom was because I wasn't sure if the custom rom / camera app would provide the same picture-quality as the original one.
Will the Picture quality suffer from a custom camera app, or is the relevant software "build into" the chip, and therefor independent from the actual camera app?
Thanks a lot!
If a TW based ROM is used, the stock camera app can be used, so the phto quality will be the same. If you got root on this ROM you can even access more features of the camera with the Zerocam MOD.
If an AOSP base ROM is used, the quality is not equal. Samsung did not release all the libraries needed to access the hardware of the S7 camera properly. But nowadays you can reach, with third apps, the same quality of the photos as the TW based ROMs.

I have tried many of the proposed solutions to achieve good camera quality in an AOSP based ROM and can only say that none of them came even close to the quality of the stock camera. Also, the speed was not comparable.
To compare I used a test scenario with poor lighting conditions and always took the same pictures. While for instance on images taken with the stock camera one could read the text on a package, on the other images you couldn't even tell that it was text.
Any news on this? As the S7 is end of life, the TW based ROMs are also not an alternative anymore. Is there any chance to get roughly the same camera quality with a LineageOS ROM? What third party apps deliver a decent quality?
you can use google camera. lol
