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.

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?

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.

Probably little to no differences between 4.1.1 and CM10 yet, as all of AOSP has been merged and CM9 is being finished prior to major testing of merging CM9 features into CM10.
Does it have t9 dialer? Otherwise im happy with stock
Holy moly, CM10 already?
I thought it would be months before we'd see anything. And, yes, I'm impulsive enough to flash an alpha.

Confirmed. The camera is borked. It's pretty snappy. Looks a little different here and there and the system sounds are noticeably louder than stock. There's probably more that's been changed...I mean obviously cm kernel is there. Can't be a daily of course, but WOW! that was FAST!
Does anyone have a mirror for the Gapps`? Ive tried the goo.im one for a cople of hours now, it just keeps telling me that there are some problems with the servers
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

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 ??
ive been using AOKP for the last 2-3 phones. love the customization but i hate the slow speed. i could just try every single rom but why not just ask the community since im sure someone knows what rom i should be looking at
can anyone suggest a rom that offers the following without compromising speed?
- center clock
- circle battery mod
- cpu clock, io scheduler and governor adjuster
- gamma and multiplier adjuster
- reboot menu
- lockscreen weather
features id prefer but could live without:
- use volume button to move cursor
- some sort of quick torch

Any rom that incorporates AOKP features has the features you listed above. Take the Pacman rom, it has PA, AOKP, and CM merged. :good:
I have JellyBeer 4.1.0 on my Galaxy Nexus -- it has the ability to do the things you have in your "must do" list. It's got a bit of 4.2.2, CM10.X and PA. I've enjoyed it so far.
Disclaimer: I am a n00b! I recently unlocked and rooted by GNex... and JellyBeer4 is my first custom ROM flashed to my phone!
What arianR10 said. Pretty much every ROM other than CM, and probably with the exception of Paranoid Android since it has tablet mode options, are almost identical with other small tweaks and enhancements. Almost any ROM you switch to, will probably feel the same and have all the same options. I personally use Carbon ROM. Its seriously the fastest, smoothest ROM I have used. some of the things you mentioned though, depends on the kernel you use and not really ROM specific.
i tried
rasbean (no options)
vanir (quick but not many options)
ak47 (seems buggy, though its new)
aospa (way too slow for me)
pac (again, too slow.. i think having pa/cm/aokp in one rom slows things down)
i think i tried a few others but no luck
ill keep rom hopping til i find one im comfortable with. thanks
It's good to see that this phone is still so well supported. lent mine with CM10 to a friend. Can't wait to get it back!
Any ROM based on Stock will be very fast. For some reason AOSP ROMs are slow.

You can try my ROM which is in my signature.. D
It's based of Stock Google's Android JB 4.2.2 (Takju)
Stock kernel, but I may change the kernel to CM's kernel, then it's possible to adjust gamma and some other things..
But my ROM doesn't have center clock yet.. I have also tried to get CM's circle battery but no luck, I always get errors.. but I have included another circle battery..
It has CM's Torch app (with widget for homescreen and for lock screen..)
Lock screen weather: (Chronus), but when I have time I try to get CM's cLock (Newer version..)
And when I have time I try to get tablet mode support for SystemUI.apk, Launcher2.apk and for framework-res.apk too..
I used to run XenonHD, it had all the features you specified and more.
Have since moved on to ParanoidAndroid though, never looked back.
i suggest you xylon rom. very good rom with lots of options to customize.

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!

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..

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.

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.
