Instant Shutter on custom ROMs

It seems like most custom ROMs don't offer the instant camera shutter, which I think is one of the best features on our phones.
Since the camera bits are proprietary Google bits and are not part of AOSP, I'm guessing only ROMs that are mods of OTA's will have this included.
Does anyone know of any of the 4.0.3 ROMs that include the proprietary camera bits like instant shutter?
EDIT: I TAKE IT BACK!!!
It works after all. I think camera was just slow momentarily because of low light environment. I'm happy now

I don't know what roms you've been running but I've had the same camera functions as stock!

Your sig says you are using AOKP. There is no instant shutter in AOKP. Are you sure? Because I just tested AOKP amongst others.
Maybe people forget how instant shutter works on stock ROM?

No issue with slim 2.5

AOKP's shutter speed is the exact same as stocks

You're probably talking about the camera auto focusing before taking the picture. If it stays focused you can take a boatload of pictures no problem.

I've ran Gummy and Milestone 3...no problems with camera

AOKP M3 works fine.
Re-focusing obviously slows things down a little but that is to be expected.
It is still lightening quick!

I run Manhattan (Mainly for the ability to change the navigation buttons... I wanted yellow to suit my case) ==
The camera you mentioned is slower than stock. Having said that its still faster than many phones out there. Once it focuses, you can use it like stock, but this one has the tendency to auto focus a lot

I didn't yet moved to any custom rom because of that, but it seems that most of the users don't care about it.
Is it that hard to port this from the 4.0.2 to 4.0.3 ?

MIUI ipone theme, the camera works the same way as stock.

improve CM7 camera.

does there is any way to improve cm7 camera and any way to get stock 2.3.6 camera in cm7.because the original cm7 camera is really sluggish than the stock samsung camera.:-(

camera 360 is also great app but i am going back to stock rom because Cyanogenmod is much much buggy and slower then stock rom.i would be wait until phiexz would release a new version of cyanogenmod which fixes the sound problem.

With kind regards, Tim.

[Q] CM camera not as clear as stock?

was wondering if it was just my setup, or this was a common thing

cre4per said:

It might be both. CM's camera app doesn't really fit well for most phones. They clarity is significantly less. but if you did something different in your setup it might adversely effect the camera. If you do not like this camera app, I suggest MIUI camera which is an .apk that you can flash. You can also use one of the apps on the Playstore. Apps like Camera360, Vignette, LG camera work well.

Thanks for the suggestions will try

Also, what cm version are you on? There have been some reports with camera clarity in 10.1.

4.2.2 ROMS

Is there any real difference between CarbonRom and liquid smooth ROMS as both are based on 4.2.2 !!

There are minor differences between the two. Honestly, I've been switching between the two for a few weeks now, and I still don't know which one I like better. They are both supported regularly by awesome devs.
I know this isn't the answer you wanted, but I'd say try them both out and see which one you prefer. I eventually landed on Liquid Smooth, but it wasbasically a coin toss.

From what I noticed in general daily use, LiquidSmooth has an hdr feature in their camera, and a few more customization options (qs tiles color settings, notification drawer) but probably only because they have a more current release. I'm pretty sure Carbon will implement these features as well in their next release.
Performance wise, at least for my phone, there aren't any noticeable differences. Both use linaro (i think) but then again, results vary for each phone.

Yeah liquidsmooth has hdr feature but no photosphere which can be flashed also. Basically it all comes to what features are included in both rom and which gets regular updates through goo manager
Does liquid smooth has options to disable camera shutter sound .

Yes, if you put your phone on mute or vibrate the shutter sound is off. It basically follows your devices sound profile lol.

Don't see a need to start another thread another 4.2.2 roms so I will ask here. In any of them can I set it up so if i have a pattern for the lockscreen I don't have to put it in when accessing the camera?

Lockscreen camera widget. Can take a pic literally from the lockscreen!

I can't find anything on the market with that name. Can you post a link to it? Everything I have tried I still have to put in the pattern to unlock the phone before I can use the camera.

Bro you are running the newest Liquid Smooth (v2.1 STABLE) right?! If you are:
1. Go to settings
2. Go to "Lockscreen" (right under "Interface")
3. Scroll all the way down to "Widgets"
4. Check the "Camera Widget" box (shows the camera widget on lockscreen)
5. Lock your phone
6. Wake your phone up, and from the lockscreen scroll to the right and... BAM there's your camera and you can take a pic from the lockscreen!
Hope that helps!

No, I'm not. I have not rooted yet. I was wondering if one of the roms talked about did what I was looking for. Now that I know Liquid Smooth rom does I plan on rooting this weekend and running it.

Built right into the ROM. But it is built into most (if not all) 4.2 based ROMs.

why is auto focus not working in every single rom?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering why is Auto focus in the camera app on this phone not working in every single rom? I think Touch to focus not works with some of the nightly roms out there, but did auto focus ever work on this phone? I don't remember...I really wish the camera preview would auto focus when getting close to an object, without me tapping the display or long pressing the shutter button. Any way we can get this to work? And did this ever work in touchwiz as well?
Another question is that I'm using Sons of Android rom, which is pretty old but has the best performance for me, but this one doesn't have the touch to focus version of camera. What rom has the touch to focus these days? I will download the rom and extract the gallery2.apk from the zip file if you let me know what rom has the feature.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for letting me know. I would like auto focus, but definitely not to the extent that I would go back to stock..I just can't live without themeing, especially the status bar. I really don't like the look of touchwiz status bar..
Hope someone can answer my other questions!

I understand what you mean. I think iPhone has this feature and so does the MIUI ROM. Sadly I've heard no other camera that has this feature

Don't all 4.1.2 roms have touch to focus? Which is what miui is as well.
Yeah, I don't think any 4.2.2 roms have it. But they do auto focus when you click your pic. So not sure about the title of this thread.

Hey, I really appreciate your reply, but I think you may be wrong..almost all recent (and a lot of not recent) phones have the feature..I also have a HTC One V which is a low end phone where they release it at the same time as One X and S, and that phone with 5 mp camera has this auto focus feature that works really well. It focuses really fast when I move the camera close to an object. And apparently we also have this on stock roms as well? So.. why don't we on the aosp roms..

Hmm..i haven't used much 4.1.2 roms, but I did use MIUI (the new one) and I don't remember it having auto-focus. And not all 4.2.2 have touch to focus. Only newer nightlies started having them I think. I'm on Sons of Android, which is 4.2.2 but released and ended updating in March this year, but this one doesn't have touch to focus Nor Auto focus..

I was saying 4.1.2 roms should have it...unless the dev changed it. I'm on northern touch infamous, its touch to focus.
And I said 4.2.2 roms don't have it. Unless some have started using it. But none I used.
As far as what you mean by auto focus....they all auto focus when you click. You mean focus just by pointing, before you touch a thing?? I've never seen that on this phone ever. Sorry.

I'm running a T989 with CM10.1 (which is 4.2.2) and the default camera app has tap-to-focus, and autofocuses when you go to take the picture. It still looks out-of-focus in the preview, but the version in the gallery looks fine.

Yea, I think you are running pretty recent version of CM10.1, right? I remember having it with some 4.2.2 roms but didn't remember which rom it was. I will try to take the gallery2.apk from my cm10.1 zip file i downloaded before. Thanks. And I guess we won't be seeing autofocus in the preview without touching anything..

For what it's worth, I sprung a couple of bucks for CameraZOOM, and have found it worth the price as a camera replacement. Most notably (for me at least) is it has a macro mode and better focusing options in general.
