CyanogenMod Focal - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

The guys from Cyanogen Mod–the number one Android firmware replacement–have taken on the task of creating a new camera app called “Focal”, which aims to improve upon Android’s stock camera by adding a bulk of new functionality

Hmmm pretty cool. Seems like it needs some lib files though.

Runs pretty well on Google edition rom. Photosphere takes a long time to render but worth giving it a shot.

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

That's what I thought as well.... However it doesn't appear that way.

This app is AOSP based and has two buttons for stills and video.

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 ??

TouchWiz camera on CM10.1

Hello folks!
I've been using CyanogenMod nightlys for a month maybe, and everything is awesome, except for the camera.
I really miss the awesome stock tw camera, it is amazing compared to the cm camera.
Is there any way to install it?

My understanding is it is very difficult to get that to happen. I posted this in general earlier today though. Probably as close to TW features as you will find on CM.

Download something like Camera Zoom FX in the Play Store.

You can't just "say" it's the best, what makes it the best? What does it do that a hundred other messaging apps don't already do better?

I love the look and concept but the app lags a lot for me. Really jerky animations compared to the rest of the phone.
Hope the dev fixes it.

Only thing stopping me from using this app is the lag =\
If it can become as smooth as the stock messaging app then I would switch in a heartbeat ^__^
You have to disconnect from wifi to send mms. =/
I purchased this app long time ago and dev finally got mms functioning. The app real feels like it's been hacked together.
The whole app feels like it needs to be recoded. Lags like none other.
[NEXUS⁴] [CARBON1.6] [MATR1X8] [TWRP]
Yea its a lil laggy at times needs a lil bit of cleaning but i like the features and ui .. Its still in beta but developer is really good with updates im sure hes aware of issues and will soon iron bugs out..

Can anyone recommend a camera app?

Okay so I started using the stock ROM but then I moved over to cyanogen for a little while only to find out that the camera in cyanogen was really bad so I move back to stock and I'm not saying I regret the decision but I really would love to go back to cyanogen so I was wondering if anyone might know of a camera app that is comparable to the stock app for this device any help would be appreciated!

yes I was using focal but i cannot have a buggy camera. im a photographer and I use my phone a lot for scouting for shoots rather than carrying around my main gear. need something that will replace the cm10 sh*t camera with good features and functionality as the stock camera on the s4.
ProCapture!
There's an .apk for the Google Edition camera over in the Themes/Apps section. I use it alongside the stock camera and it's every bit as good I think.

I disagree with the assessment that AOSP camera is sh*t. Kudos to the developers - it's pretty fast and very, very usable, and the swipe to gallery is great (haven't seen that in any other party camera app). I'm picky about the camera.
That said, if you're set to find a 3rd party camera, then look at Camera FV-5.
Compared to all the other apps listed on this thread, it's superior with basic camera features missing in the other apps, such as focus mode, manual ISO, exposure compensation, exposure bracketing, grid layovers, etc. No gimmicky filters or effects like the others listed here. It makes a decent 'manual' camera out of the limited capability that the phone comes to begin with. It shows the 'life' shutter speed. Its auto ISO has a bias to go higher ISO than AOSP camera - up to 2000, so it may guard against shake but at the expense of grainier pics in the darker settings, but these phones aren't meant for that anyway. ProCapture is the closest to FV-5, but not as good for manual settings (i.e., after you set the exposure compensation on ProCapture, you won't see the value explicitly shown, so that could trip you). The one thing about FV-5 is it has a tad slower startup than the stock AOSP camera.
Updating my recommendation to either "A Better Camera" or Lenovo Super Camera.

[Q] Which Rom has the Stock Camera?

Guys,
it has been a while since I last flashed my S4, I tried several Roms before settling into one (I believe I have dandroid) but now an issue has come up. I really miss the old regular stock camera apk, the one with the slow motion and panoramic features. I have been taking lots of pictures lately and the Google edition app just doesn't cut it for me, it has some lag to it, and I need some of the old features. I have also noticed that the battery has been dying extremely quickly.
is there a ROM out there that can offer me that camera apk and a better battery life? I checked out the development forum and there are so many options, it's hard to know which one would be the one for me (I also didn't see anything about the stock camera app, just google edition )
Thanks everyone in advance.
PS: no, I am not taking selfies haha
Bottom line, only TW ROM's will have stock camera. Google edition and AOSP ROM'S cannot run the stock camera.
