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..
I recently got an S5, and I'm a big fan of vanilla-ish Android (I've been using Cyanogenmod for a long time). However, the stock Samsung camera is extremely nice. There's other things I like about it, but it's mainly that (and maybe the wifi calling).
I'm looking for a ROM that retains the stock Samsung camera, but is as close to AOSP as possible. I was looking at XtreStoLite. Are there any other ROMS you guys can suggest? Possibly something that retains the AOSP look and feel, but still has some of the better Samsung improvements (specifically that camera!).
Thank you!

Hi,
You can use X-Note Rom for S5,its at the Moment 4.4.2
But high customable
Read the op's and then try them all until you find one you like.
For those running CM12, what camera app are you using? The stock camera app is pretty awful. When I was using my LG G3 on CM12 I was using the modified Lenovo camera and it was pretty good but I haven't had any success getting it to run on the Z1C.
I'm using this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/app-cameranext-modded-t2999275
But not the most recent version. For me v6 was the best a mirror can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...ext-modded-t2999275/post58586958#post58586958
Although the slowshutter doesn't work for our device, I think its better than the stock camera app!
Cool, I'll give that one a shot. Thanks!
So, how is camera performance of your setup compared to Z1c with stock firmware and stock based sony camera app? The only thing that stops me from installing CM12 is the said bad camera performance.

It is pretty bad from what I remember. I switched to an LG G3 for a while so I don't quite remember what the stock camera was capable of on this phone but in CM12 it is really not that great. I am using the Lenovo Camera that I was using on my G3 and it is better than the stock CM camera by far.
If you take a lot of photos and are anal about them looking great, I'd hold off on flashing CM.
All that being said, I prefer CM12 over stock on this phone, by far.

So, do you believe that if I use a different camera app that the stock on CM12, I will have better results? I have a dedicated camera for serious photo taking, but I'd want to have my Z1c ready for some good snapshots, if necessary.
Installing CM is a big step and I hesitate to do that, but I guess I'll have to find out by myself...

Yes, I would use the Lenovo cam if you want to go to CM12, for sure. Sorry for the delay, I haven't been on here in weeks.
The OPX is my daily driver (for now) and photography is a HUGE part of my life. Most stable custom ROMs do have more features than the stock, but the camera app functionality and interface will never compare to the stock software. The 2 main features I use are slo-mo and manual mode. So why don't I use OOS 2.x.x? Simple, the community build based on marshmallow has massive performance fixes (especially concerning the GPU and gaming). If the camera isn't a big deal for you than go ahead and flash a custom ROM, this will add more features to your device and the cost of a great camera app. But I definitely suggest upgrading to a marshmallow or nougat based ROM (my personal favourites are CM and PA, they have many features and are pretty stable) due to the poor performance of the GPU on OOS 2.X.X.
let me know you opinions on software concerning the OPX below?
whats the point?
Anyway i find sultans HAL combined with snapdragon interface better.

I totally agree and that's why I went for 3.1.1. Smooth performance, best camera by far.

Ok.. So why not do both. Use a custom ROM and flash oos 3 camera zip. So now you have best ROM and best camera app. That is what I do.

I couldn't find the latest camera version for the OPX, could you share the camera zip + the name of the ROM you are using. Thanks?

Thanks for your thoughts and feedback? (camera seems a little buggy tho?)
The problem with the camera isn't the app it's self. It's the photo quality. Sultan hal uses higher iso settings to eliminate low fps during photo capturing, thus creating to much noise in the picture. That's why you can't get best of both. Furthermore that in latest OOS cam the video recording fps is normal now on, there is no need for me to change in any custom rom. ( by the time these lines are written of course, because no one knows what are talented and really hard working custom roms developers will bring us in the future)
Ps: of course I have test for long periods purity, sultan cm13, caf RR, and official cm13 in order to have a reference point.

Yes, I agree. But the interface on OOS is much more user friendly in my opinion than any STABLE custom rom out there. Sultan hal is much more complicated for the “simple everyday OnePlus user". The most noticeable downside between the two is trying to record slo mo on any custom ROM. There would be too much zoom, too much noise and it was hard to make it play in slo mo. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.?

Use a custom rom and flash the OOS camera app.

I miss panorama mode from OOS. On custom rom's (sultan cm and sultanized resurection remix i think) not working
Hello.
There are plenty of Marshmallow and Nougat ROMs for Z1C and some of them work very well... Except for the fact that I haven't found a single one where the camera works properly. I wouldn't mind slow focus and green parts of the screen, but the resulting picture must be properly focused and with correct brightness.
Am I missing something? Is there any ROM (in- our outside of CM nightlies) with a proper camera?
Thanks.

I don't think so for N yet, but for MM, there were a couple, but you need to find the right builds. I seem to remember an AOSP build from July that worked well, and I think a couple of DU builds. The cameras would take good pictures, but occasionally fc. All in all, it's still very much a work in progress. Best bet for custom rom overall is Jaguar. It's called an LP rom, but it is very up to date with changes, and functions beautifully, camera included. I guess newer builds don't have Xposed support, but the rom is excellent.

I see what you are saying, but MM for the Z1C has been a work in progress since a very long time ago. I'd prefer to stick to CM 12.1 (which works very well) instead of going to another LP ROM. But those MM versions you are mentioning... Where can I find one with a properly working camera? I've been looking around and tried many, with no luck so far.

Well, I'm afraid I've tried all of them. Paranoid Android is the best, but the camera is unstable (sometimes there is no access), front camera is quite crappy, and the OS in general reboots from time to time.
