Those who switched from TW to AOSP... Camera??? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Anyone notice the cameras picture quality to be significantly worse??? Kinda reminds me of having a gnex again...
is this just me??

Same here. I went back to touchwiz based roms for the same reason. I'm sure it will be resolved eventually though.

Doesn't work that way. I pulled both the camera apk and the Gallery from system and it didn't work. Changed permissions and everything.

Many, if not all, touchwiz related apps will require lib files. I don't think it's possible.

soo obviously the hardware is there... Whats the reasoning why the camera takes a slump when you switch to aosp?

Probably because the software isn't optimized to take full advantage of the hardware

ROM Toolbox Pro

I have had rom toolbox pro for awhile and with my evo 3d it never worked to change status bar icons (battery etc). I was hoping today that it would work on the s3 but still no luck. Am I possibly doing something wrong or is that a known issue? And if it is a known issue what the heck does that feature of the app work on???

I've emailed the dev a few months ago on this and he said he'd look into it. I think he gave me the run-around.
Damn. That sucks. I was pretty pumped when I remembered I had bought the app and maybe I could finally use it. Thanks anyway dude.

Yeah I tried that. I guess it could work on stock roms but I'm using the Phantom rom where he customized the battery.

Problem is, a lot of ROM toolbox replaces images based on names. There's a lot of redundant images in the touch wiz framework (they add their own images and keep the aosp ones.). This means that ROM toolbox will replace the aosp, which arent the ones in use, so it makes ROM toolbox obsolete. Also, for the battery images, ROM toolbox has 100 different images for the battery packs, it's that it doesn't have 100 images for the charging also, so you'll see your battery icon change shape while you charge.

Hey thanks man. You gave me an idea and I was able to get it working. Seems like the battery icons towards the bottom actually work. Maybe more/less. Just try a bunch.

AOSP vs TW camera

Been using TouchWiz since I got my phone (FreeGS3), now switched to LiquidSmooth (4.2.1), and it's awesome...
BUT, the photo quality on TW was MUCH better. So much that I think I'll switch back.
UNLESS anyone knows ... is there a camera app for AOSP that can match the quality of the TW camera?
Has anyone else noticed the inferior photos? Blurrier, less colorful, no HDR ...
And most idiotic of all, the whole "viewfinder" rotates from landscape to portrait ... which makes NO sense.
On a side note ... I wish someone would create a camera app like the HTC Evo 4G LTE where there are TWO buttons on the screen, one for photos, and one for video ... so that you don't have to switch apps!
Samsung's tw camera is the best...I have downloaded camera zoom fx and still the two camera is better by far...I wish there was an apk for the the tw camera on my aosp...all other cameras are slow

Porting the TW camera to AOSP is possible. The TW dependencies just have to be removed. I remember an old friend of mine posted a how to in the OG Epic forums... Might take a look and see if it's something I can poke into

Didn't want to make another thread but... I am running Liquid Smooth (Stable) and I was wondering if there was a mod to get Photosphere?? I have tried many times and it never works lol... just wondering if there is a working Photosphere mod? Thanks!

I believe photosphere only works on 4.1.x AOSP based ROMs and not 4.2.x AOSP ROMs...

I have it working on my phone running LiquidSmooth. I have the zip that I used but cannot find the xda thread that I got it from. I'm a little hesitant on posting it, because it's not my work, but I also want to help.
Here is a link to the file: 4CamNex2.zip
This is the stock camera for the Nexus. All you have to do is flash it in your Recovery (I used TWRP). It has a working photosphere, but is very limited in the settings you can change. For instance, I cannot choose the storage location or HDR or any of the fancy stuff that comes with the LiquidSmooth Rom. You can see my screenshots I just took to see what it looks like.
What I have done to mitigate these limitations is that I kept the LiquidSmooth camera. When I want to use Photosphere (which isn't too often), I use the Nexus Camera, and all other pictures are taken with the Stock LiquidSmooth camera. When I do things like set wallpaper, I have to choose my gallery (two cameras = two galleries), but it's not too much of an issue for me.
Hope this helps, and if anyone can find the original thread with this camera, let me know and I'll link it (and remove my dropbox link). I want to give props to whoever created it.
So are the pics quality better with this camera mod compared to whats in liquid smooth ??

[REQ] AOSP People App

I have been looking around for this and have found places that have the pretty much every other AOSP app up for download except this one. I am using a Stock based rom and I want to use the AOSP People app because it's a billion times better than the TW Contacts app.
Might anyone know where I can get this?
Rob
You haven't seen it because it won't work. Framework differences. If you don't believe Mr and want to try I will upload one for you and you can try

Thanks. I thought maybe since a lot of the other AOSP apps were ported over that this one would be too. Damn, i love the People contacts app. You don't have to post the app unless you think someone else can use it
Yeah only I don't know the word for it but maybe "material "apps like the camera and clock that arent actually necessary and it won't work because Samsung has for proprietary framework thanks reason we can't you Samsung camera on aosp ROMs sorry about that man but for future reference you can extract any of the APKs you want right out of any aosp ROM using root or solid explorer
Oh yeah must of the time there are libs to go with those FYI in case you go experimenting

I wish someone would make this rom

The rom want most is an aokp rom that has snote and my spen features. Even Aosp, I just do not like touch wiz and the way it looks, I just want simple Android or aokp and my spen.
This would be the ultimate rom, also the tablet mode gmail!

I've tried that rom out, and most of them, the closest one is jelly beans, but you can't send pictures through texts and it had a few problems
Many of the SPen apps/features are proprietary, so odds are you won't see them in AOSP.
@ work, so can't find a link for you, but
a) you won't find an actual aosp ROM with those actual apps, they are TW only. but you might find an aosp themed TW base rom if you look. (which I'm sure you already have)
2) I think in one of the actual aosp ROMs has a list of "replacement" apps for both those...
Sent from my calculator watch.
OK, found the thread I was thinking of...
The Official CyanogenMod Thread has a post Here about replacement apps for AOSP ROMs.
Not using an AOSP variant at this point on this phone, so can'y comment re: function/bugs/whatever. (Frankly, don't hate TW at all (esp if you use an aftermarket launcher), and this phone isnt needing anything trimmed down for bloat for better function. Yet.)
Hmm...I think requests and wish lists falls under Help issues

So there is no way to back up snote and have it work on another rom?
Would it be possible to mod touchwiz and basically make it like aosp? Or combine it like pacman or something?

Stock camera to miui v5

Hi guys
How to flash stock camera to miui v5?
If you mean the stock touchwiz camera. You can't. It requires the tw framework.

Which camera can i flash?
I think miui/cm cameras are'nt good as stock or..?
You're probably limited to the aosp/cm cameras. Just a guess though. Not certain that they would work.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
Here in XDA, you will see an AOSP Camera for the S3. Its been widely acknowledged to be a very good one. There's also @MikeRamsey's Camera Mod. All good ones.
If you want photo sphere, that's a harder one to make work since we don't know MIUI is missing the needed libraries or not.
