Hey guys,
I'm currently running cyanogen mod 10 on my hox, but a few apps I miss from stock, such as the camera app.
The cm10 camera really blows. Lacks sharpness, a bit auto focus and I really miss the camera effects.
Is there any way to gt the camera back, including the quality of sharpness and such?
this is also for other stock apps; if I can get it back on cyanogen mod 10
No.
Ok, yes; install a Sense ROM.
Anyone know if it is possible to get the JB camera to work in ICS? If so, any tips on how to do it?
I want features the camera offers, but all JB ROMS seem to have a lot of people that have battery issues. I"m on the on in my sig at the moment, and battery just is not settling down for me.
if you're talking about the TouchWiz camera that's on Jellybean (the version of the camera in Serenity ROM), then i'm afraid that i'm pretty sure there isn't any difference in the camera software, except that the Note 2's camera added the slow/fast motion recording for video and such as well. If you use a Jellybean ROM based off of a leaked Galaxy S3 build of JellyBean, it doesn't have those features, either.

Actually, there is one difference that is the particular reason I am using hte JB ROM (which battery sucks on): When recording video, you can pause the recording and restart it. The other cameras do nto have this, and if you have a period you don't want to record, you must stop and restart, ending up wiht videos you must stitch together.
Well, I guess I'll just need to wait for the official JB for the SGS III. I've been on Serenity for a few weeks, but it's starting to give me trouble. Going back to Ariel.
Hi All,
Running 4.2.2 AOSP buttery smooth with excellent battery life. Using SOA with SOAP and 240 density I'm getting as good of battery life as Touchwiz based Roms and Kernels.
I love me some AOSP any day over Touchwiz on my Note II EXCEPT:
I really miss the Touchwiz Camera app. I hate the 4.2 Camera App, even hated it on my Nexus 4 before I sold it for my Note II. I even feel like the image quality isn't quite as good.
I don't really want to flash back to a TW to test the camera, and have been searching for an answer. Does TW take better pics than AOSP as far as quality for the Note II? (I know HTC Sense cam app does vs AOSP on the One S/One X for example, so wondering if TW is similar)
For the AOSP users out there, how are you finding the camera app? Have you tried any 3rd party app's like Line Camera? What's the best solution for 3rd party apps?
I'm of the same opinion. I don't necessarily feel the quality of pics is any better, I just prefer the UI and bells and whistles.
This is an about-face for me, as far as the Sammy camera is concerned; on my previous Note and GS2, I didn't like it and always went with a different app (most recently the Camera 4.2). But now, with slo-mo, screenshots, pause, etc etc, I really like it.
My problem is (as noted in another thread on this Q&A board), that all of my video recordings have a "popping" sound on them, and I've done EVERYTHING to try and solve it to no avail.
I've moved on to CM10.1 nightlies and have no prob with the 4.2 camera.
I use alt s-pen apps, so I'm not really beholden to TW, but if my camera worked, I would have stayed.
One more note: I've just started using Snap Camera, which improves upon Camera 4.2, and so far so good.
I have seen several of these threads, never posted on any of them but have seen several. The AOSP camera in my opinion does not take as good of pictures as the stock Samsung camera. The first thing I have noticed is that the pictures taken with the AOSP camera are not as clear or crisp as the TW camera. More noticeable when zoomed in. Secondly the file size of AOSP pictures is often times smaller than the TW file size. This could be just different information stored within the picture but I lean more to picture quality making up the size difference. I could be wrong. Lastly I know it is just my preference but I prefer the TW file naming format versus the AOSP file naming format.

I am using the Camera and Video a lot right now as I'm a new father, so I'm going to switch back to a TW rom for first time in a while mostly for the Camera for testing and comparing.
I just flashed Jedi XP 12 and Saber Kernel
the touchwiz camera app was fast with picture taking. was very quick when moments were there. does the aosp camera snap pics with the same speed?
i know when i was using my nexus 4, it was a slug compared to the note 2. probably wasn't any faster than taking pics with my galaxy s2.
Try Camera FV-5
Fantastic SLR style app.

Has anyone done or tried to do some actual comparisons between AOSP and TW cameras?
I'm basing this simply off my experience with the phone - I used CleanRom for quite a while, then went 4.2.2 (Rootbox then SOA), and now back to JediXP
Honestly- I miss Sons of Android - I love AOSP - but I still feel like the TW Cam takes better pics.
Am I making this up?

I agree that Snap Camera is great. Only one thing I noticed (And this may not be exclusive to Snap Camera, but maybe other AOSP apps):
I did a test to compare the quality of stock vs. Snap Camera. I couldn't discern any difference in quality, but I did notice that the stock app captures "more". What I mean is, I set the camera in the same position, taking identical pics of a box with both apps. The Snap Camera pic cut off the top of the box, but the stock app got the whole box in the picture. It's as though Snap C is slightly zoomed in, compared to stock. No, it wasn't zoomed in. Both were set at same settings, same focus, etc.
Anyway, aside from that, I think it's a great app too.
I was actually wondering if there would be any way to install the samsung camera into an aosp ?
Probably not possible. Just thought about it today. Because I like Liquid Smooth. But some things are not as functional as a tw rom. Like the camera.
I dont like the aosp stock camera it always locks up on me, so I will have to give these other cam apps mentioned above a try.
Good post and replys guys, thanks.
The AOSP camera app, probably isn't able to use all the advanced features of the camera hardware, because the driver is not open source and likely requires the Samsung framework. AOSP is using a basic driver that simply allows it to take picture, but it's not particularly good or useful.
IMO, AOSP is inferior to a TW/Nature UX rom. I would never use an AOSP rom on a Samsung phone. Just too many features I use would be missing, and I don't like the way AOSP looks.
I definitly prefer everything AOSP over TW except the Camera
I am using a TW app though and the camera quality is better - to the point I will get used to TW.

My wife has a stock S3 and I am running Carbon ROM 1.7. I did some rudimentary testing and was suprised to find that the AOSP camera took slightly better shots. Close ups in good light had better contrast and colour realism than TW.
However I cannot get over the fact that AOSP clips the viewfinder to a widescreen format - it is impossible to frame a photo well because of this. In addition the camera crashes quite regularly and requires a reboot.
hardly anyone mentions video - I currently have CM 10.1 and really like it but the camera/video is a deal breaker for me. Trying to take video renders them unusable because not only about the quality but the sound - horribly distorted, far cry from TW based ROMs can achieve. I find the pix on TW are a bit too bright (taking indoor shots with a lot of light tends to 'blind' the camera too much - easy fix is to bring exposure 2 notches down, and I have a mod that does it automatically). So, sadly, no more AOSP roms for me strictly because of the camera. Return of the Jedi for me
Touchwiz camera is much better..
Tried both on my s3 that I had before this phone and tw roms took much better pics
I hate AOSP camera too and for the same reasons I stick with TW ROMs. However, I really like carbon ROM 1.7 so I found this link to help in the camera area. It's not better than TW but it is a huge improvement over stock camera features. Let me know what you think...

Tried the mod from the above post and ultra pixel doesn't seem to do much of anything. Just can't zoom as much.

I find the CM 4.2.2 Camera to be a little quicker with taking pics. I also find it produces more crisp pictures. Could just be me, or the ROM I'm on.
Never really cared for the TW camera gimmicky options; Best Face, Best Picture, Etc.
I wonder. Why AOSP-based roms' camera worse than Sammy's? In stock 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, quality and size of photos better and bigger than AOSP-based roms. For example, size of a photo is 1.4 mb in stock but in a AOSP-based rom it is just 800 kb. Ithink the quality is better in stock. Is it about drivers? In AOSP, can we make it make better?
Have you set picture quality to best in cemera APP settings? Have you tried google camera? My pictures, when in daytime, have around 2,5MB.

Which rom and camera are you using? What is your suggestion?
I am using stock CM camera - which as far as I am concerned is stock google camera.
Recently google released in play store new "google camera" that is now preinstalled in vanila google systems.
I've got a 5.1 Lollipop ROM that's more or less stock Android. I miss the stock Samsung camera app though because I haven't been able to find another app that does HDR as well is it. The Google camera app is too bare-bones and something like Camera FX has an absolutely retarded way of taking HDR shots.
Any way to install the Samsung camera app on Lollipop 5.1?
Nope
ditto. I've never seen the Samsung camera successfully ported to any AOSP rom. That's one of the reasons I stay with Touchwiz ROMs.
Hmmm... I wonder why that is.
