Hello, I've been trying aosp roms for a little while now (I hate touch wiz so much =.= but the camera keeps me here). Anyways, I'm having an issue with all the aosp roms i've tried. My camera can't change the exposure levels, even manually. So I can't take any pictures of slightly dark places =( without using the ugly flash lol.
Places where it's visible with human eyes and touch wiz camera is 100% pitch black on AOSP camera.
Is this a common problem? If so... do you guys just flash everything

+1 to this. I've noticed the same thing thought I was going crazy. I've just been flashing everything. I did notice that tapping the screen to auto focus before snapping the pic works a little bit to brighten the pic up

I have a problem with quality of several pictures and wallpapers on my HTC Wildfire. Picture is fine and smooth for about 1-2s then it sharpens and become grainy, pixelized and generally speaking bad quality.
Picture seems to be shown like it was too much sharpened in photoshop. There are several white pixels. I was trying to use quick pick as well as stock gallery viewer and some other what i cant remember - still with no satisfying effect. On stock htc sense it was all perfect and smooth. I have found one matching topic on my local android forum and one on some english language - still no answer.
If anyone had simillar problem and solved it i am begging for reply it is very annoying. The worst is that picture is perfect before it will fully load (like i said 1-2 sec.) so it can be viewed perfectly. Is there any option to turn rendering/sharpening/or any other photo corecting effect in CM7?
HTC Wildfire
Android: 2.3.7
ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1. BUZZ Stable
Kernell: 2.6.35.14-nFinity

Try using a different gallery (e.g QuickPic) and wiping the camera with a piece of cloth.
"Picture seems to be shown like it was too much sharpened in photoshop."
I agree with you on this one man. The quality seems to degrade when pic set as wallpaper.
I am going to check out custom-sense rom (either WildPuzzle or DK Custom ROM). Probably this might solve our problem.
Plus i am facing a few other problems like laggy status bar, laggy animations. Hopefully the two aforementioned ROMs will give a better experience.

Wrong place to post this type of question.
This is the Development section.
Please post in the General section.

Oh well I thought CM had an amazing camera. The photos come amazing and are super crisp.

Yeah, really, it's way better than the Sense camera in low light as well; I have no idea what you're talking about, and in the wrong section at that.
Maybe you should try wiping your camera lens ?
EDIT: Or if that fails, you could always get a different camera app from the market. I mostly use Vignette, since it lets you take a pic just by touching the screen, and it has a ton of awesome effects too. I've heard Camera 360 takes good pics as well, but I find it lacks good effects (but you're not really looking for a photo-editing app anyways).
I totally agree with the OP. The camera isn't great for me. The pic seems to be taken too long after the flash has 'flashed'.
A camera app will not help. Its the drivers for the hardware or something else low level that causes it.

lol...NOPE MY CAMERA LENS IS CRYSTAL CLEAR I MEAN THE CM7 CAMERA IS DARK NT BRIGHT AND CLEAR LIKE STOCK SENSE CAMERA......CM7 CAMERA IS DARK AND SOME TIMES IT LACKS TOOO AND THE WRST PROBLM IS THERS NO TOUCH FOCUS IN IT:\ ........
Again I say, Vignette's camera lets you choose exposure levels (higher=brighter), as well as having a touch-to-refocus option , so try that out.
Is it just me or does it seem like the camera was better when the phone was unrooted and without a ROM? Last night I rooted my phone and flashed the CM10 ROM...and I feel that the pictures come out a little blurry. The camera app is completely different in itself.
Is there any way to install the original camera app? The CM10 ROM upgraded me from android 4.1.1 to 4.1.2.

The stock camera app relies on the Touchwiz framework which CM10 does not use, so no you cannot install the original camera app.

Thanks. Is it just in my mind that the stock camera is better? Are there any good camera apps around that I could use?
There's a chance that the pictures with the stock camera are better, because the camera software has been optimized for the phone. However, someone posted sample pictures in the CM10 thread comparing the stock camera quality to CM10's camera quality, and the differences were negligible. The person posting them said he couldn't tell the difference if he didn't know there was one, and I personally couldn't see much difference either. I'm on my phone, so searching for it would be a *****, so if you're on a computer, I'd recommend giving the CM10 thread a search. If I can find the post before you, I'll edit this with a link.
You could always try it yourself, too. Find a room with consistent lighting (probably away from windows), and take some pics with Touchwiz. Then, take the same pics with CM10 (I guess, try to make a stand/marking of some sort so it's easier to put the camera at/near the same exact spot). Upload them to a computer or something (just because a larger screen will show the differences better; it's not entirely necessary), and compare.

Thanks. That is all great information. I actually just flashed Jelly Bomb 9.0. Nice ROM but now I'm getting a whole new error haha. I'll start another thread.
I don't know if anyone has asked this yet, sorry if they have.
I'm thinking about putting cm10 on my s3 but one of the features I really like on stock is the camera. I love a lot of the features, but here are the ones i'm mostly looking for:
burst
face detection
panorama (not vital but would be nice)
filters (before taking the photo)
low light
Does anyone know of an app with the same or similar features? Or if there's anyway to get load the stock camera app onto CM10?
Thanks for any help.

I can confirm that any AOSP-AOKP Rom, like CM10.1 has those features embed in the stock camera app, and actually more. I love the camera on vanilla JB. Try it, but make a nandroid before, in case you don't like it.
Does the AOKP app allow you to lock focus to infinity, or (like the stock AT&T-version app), does it only give you a choice between 'autofocus' and 'macro'?

After installing ROMs based on AOSP, wanting to take a selfie (frontal) with flash in the Whatsapp application, it comes out dark. The flash is very fast and does not illuminate the capture. Does anyone have the solution?
A small clarification is that with ROMs based on MIUI if it works normally.
(sorry for my English xD)
Thx!!

Okay, let's clarify what the issue is.
When you say dark, do you mean it captures the scene only darker? Or is scene entirely black/not visible? Also, which ROM or ROMs are you experiencing these issues on?

Hi!
The scene is completely dark, what I could notice is that the flash fires very quickly, just before the photo is taken.
Clarification: the capture takes it out, but it looks all dark
I have tried with all kinds of AOSP roms and with all of them I had the same problem. I have even tried A11 , A12 and A12L The only ones that did not present me with failures are the MIUI.
