Custom ROM means sacrificing camera quality? - Verizon HTC One (M7)

I recently rooted/s-offd my phone and immediately went for Cyanogenmod. I couldn't help but notice the camera quality is extremely horrid in comparison to the stock camera.
Is there a solution to this with use of Cyanogenmod, and or is this problem only linked to ROMs that aren't sensed base? I'm not incredibly big on using my camera but I utilize it enough to where I need the quality back.

Yep that pretty much is the case when you switch to aosp on an HTC phone. You could try focal from the play store. It looks better than cm in my opinion.

AFAIK Focal is designed by the makers of CM(or something like that). I'll check it out but last I knew it was extremely buggy.
Would going to a sense based ROM(eg viper) resolve the camera issue? I could always experience with nand backups but knowing off the bat would save me some time.

Yeah viper is a sense ROM so the sense cam still works. Focal was designed for use with cm but the creator pulled it from cm when they went corporate. The last time I used it it wasn't buggy at all but I don't really take pics that much.

I just tried it out and it crashed within seconds of use haha. PicSphere is still buggy but that's no surprise. It definitely seems to be a good camera, just needs more work. Something I will have to keep an eye on.

What Rom should I use? (Please read its not what you thing)

IDK what ROM to use?
Cy mod 7- it has a sucky camera and it feels unstable at times
Stock ROM- it can't display all emails and is slow at times
Incredible 2 HD/3D- it is laggy and isn't smooth. I just don't like it in general.
MIUI- I DIDN'T BUY A DROID TO MAKE IT FEEL LIKE AN IPHONE!!!!!!
I really like the stock Rom but why can't I read messages sent from my dear old aunt!!!! And stock has an amazing camera. Cy mod is almost perfect but I like sense and the camera sucks. Anything made be newroot is amazing but very laggy and too much animation. It always feels artificial. MIUI is an ios for android Rom. But if I wanted ios I would have bought an iPhone.
Can anyone help me decide?

Well, if you like cm7, but want a better camera, try the MIUI camera on cm7
Or liquid smooth 3.2, it's aosp with no problems for me, not sure bout the camera but like he said I hear good things bout the miui one, the one in liquid works good for me can't tell a difference between it and sense. If u do choose liquid and want to undervolt u will have to use aeros .7 bfs test build as the stock kernel let's u overclock with the built in application but not undervolt, and if you flash any other kernel other than the one I mentioned it will break sound

i'm either sounding like a broken record, or a fanboy, but SkyRaider Zeus has your request in spades. i share some of your points and tried a few ROMS out, about a week at a time before switching, currently settling on SRZ at the moment. the more i use it, the more hesitant i am to bother trying anything else. i can't find anything to complain about. perhaps in time my opinion will change, but it's doubtful. this ROM continues to amaze. it feels stock Sense, but has all the extras i have been looking for/using in the Market.
/fanboy
Miui is nothing like the iPhone. Have you tried it? Give it a week and sop hating lol. And how is cm 7 not stable.
PS miui with go launcher is the bomb.

I'm running Andybonestock.
Same dilemma here. Aerovan' s cm7 kang with his. 8 kernel is a beast , but the camera (especially indoor, low light) is subpar. Hd 2 is not quite as speedy but it has a great camera and very polished interface (although I hate the 3.5 dialer).
Really can't make up my mind.

The thing that everyone likes about MIUI the most is the ability to customize every little detail of your theme on the fly. The stock theme does look similar to iphone but it does not run like an iphone.
Try it out with different themes that people made and you'll see exactly why a lot of people like to run it.
Why don't you try a newer rom of newt's? Which version are you running on his Inc 2 HD/3D. You could always try mikrunny and if you don't like the animations, turn them off. Turn off the 3d features, it runs better that way anyway.

you really think that CM7 int stable?
Dude... its the best android experince ive ever had. aside from one time when the screen did not wake, its been solid up time for me for the first week running it... more than i can say about my x2.
fwiw, i tried core but did not like it. way too much graphical wizbang... it was slow compared to cm7
What issue did you have with cm7? I just built my own for my phone and didn't have any issues. I do use aeroevan's .7 kernal instead of stock cm7, but i've never had any issues.
I've run miui for the past 6 months with no issues, but i do use aeroevan's .7 bfs kernal. For Sense, I would run Virtuous or Zeus. I recommend using a different recovery too. I really recommend 4ext recovery. It blows cwm out of the water. 4ext has a beta touch recovery that works really well.
Sense: ZEUSSS!!!!
If you're feeling a little daring, ICS.
I have try everything but for some reason I keep finding myself back in miui there just nothing like it every sense rom looks the same to me no matter who made it miui has a million themes but if I was gonna run sense Mik runny is awesome

TSM Pool Party. I think I've tried nearly ever ROM, and it is a pure omfgb rom with TSM mods. I do like the polished roms but ill admit every sense 3.0 rom felt extremely heavy and idk why. virtuous I believe felt the heaviest. just too much, lagged a little. the amount of time I've spent on all the roms, would probably be newts HD, I believe rls 1.1 but of was very smooth. I then went to ICS 4.0.3 Christmas beta. everything was perfect on it, but obviously no camera. yet. I used to measure with cm7 but idk...not my thing anymore. just my input, sorry to rant. but yes I do like my TSM

I simply used Titanium Backup while running MIUI and backed up the camera app. Then I went into my daily driver (which is Liquid Smooth) and restored the backed up MIUI camera app (app only, no data), again using Titanium.
I was running Mikrunny for several weeks, if you're looking for Sense I think it's the best out there. But like another poster said upthread, Liquid Smooth really does live up to its name. Until we get an ICS ROM that's suitable as a daily, I'm sticking with Liquid Smooth.

IMHO the best sense rom is Skyraider Zeus 1.3. Everything is smooth and just works. For AOSP, I like Liquid Smooth 3.1.

[Q] What's holding you back from flashing CyanogenMod or AOKP type ROM's?

Just wondering what folks out there consider valid reasons for not flashing a CyanogenMod or AOKP or similar type ROM on their phone is. Because it's so good that I have trouble understanding why more people aren't on it.
I only have one issue, which is not being able to use audio out when docked. I'm holding out hope it gets added to our phone soon though. It's already been added to at least one other phone's CM10.
What about you?
ps. DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A BASHING Thread.
I will be installing cm10 when it gets to release candidate stage. I'm running aokp on my nexus 7 and I'm impressed.
Most people who don't probably don't want to have to flash nightly in order to get the latest updates.
And if that one feature/app you like breaks on CM/AOKP well then you're kinda screwed.

I'm running ParanoidAndroid 2.13.....have been running it since 1.991 and don't miss TW one bit. PA is based on CM10, for those who don't know. As for the camera, yeah burst mode and best shot are cool and all but for me they're pretty much gimmicks so ProCapture is more than sufficient for me. And if I ever wanted it, it's got burst mode too. I'm not concerned about getting stock jellybean cause what I have now is more of a pure Jellybean experience than AT&T's version will ever be.

[Q] Most Parent Friendly ROM

So my dad has been using his One V for almost a year now. Was stock and unrooted. Slowly it has got slower and slower. Its reached the point where I have to factory reset anyway.
Is there a custom ROM that is more stable and smooth than Stock 4.0.4 and yet gives good battery life? Features irrelevant.
Thanks.

Both are not suitable for everyday work. At present, only CM9 stable, battery friendly and faster than Stockrom. :good:
Evervolv has but the chance to replace in the foreseeable future CM9. It is well on the way there.

I'm starting to agree with you know, I've been using Evervolv since about yesterday, and it's been a bit buggy for me now. I'm just hoping it gets more stable.
If you want a stable easy to use rom for your dad, I'd recommend CM9 as recommended by other users.
1ceb0x great work on Evervolv had made it stable now. Try it again with the new kernel.
Since CM10 is abonded I'd say the newest version of Evervolv is really, really great. Android 4.2.2, aosp. everything you want.
Just one "downside. default camera isnt working. Im using camera zoom fx for this and its a great application.

Well I know which one I'm going to try first, but an 'Is is worth it' I think is easy to answer. Everyone can tell that there is too much lag or lack of response to be useable. That is what I was asking. See, I was told by my manufacturer that my Rezound was not capable of running Jelly Bean (Which is a lie, because I am running it), and the Incredible has much lower specs.
Anyways, I'm sure I'm going to try it. I was just seeing if anyone else had, had they experienced a miserable time at it. Not looking for suggestions.
There is a bit of lag since the inc is not meant to run JB. It can obviously, but it's not meant to. Not a lot of lag, but it is there, and the features of JB outweigh the lag for most. Most inc power users, I'd wager, are running some version of JB as a daily driver, including me. The main ones who don't use JB are the ones that need the video camera to work.
In summary: if you don't need the video camera to work perfectly, yes it's worth it.

Thanks guys. I finally found my old dinc and eris (missing in boxes after a move) and want to mess around with different ROMs. I run Infected on my Rezound and see its now available for incredible. It is a sickly modified CM based ROM.
Part of me wants to mess around even with some older flavors, like Gingerbread, Honey Comb, or even Eclair. Just for nostalgia.
Thanks again, I'll post back how it runs for my use when I have a chance to use it for several days.

You're right. Infection is good. A lot of it is the slimmer ROM and tweaks that helps it. Probably the tweaks especially the animations. I might have been a little off color with that comment.

D852 advantages/disadvantages of using stock Lollipop vs. Cyanogen 12.1?

Hi,
I've only recently started using different ROM's on my LG G3(852). Thanks to Dene_Bluesman and his custom stock ROM I am a happy camper. But, I keep seeing Cyanogen as being one of the better ROM's out there that is more closely aligned to the AOSP.
Any thoughts over the advantages or disadvantages of using Cyanogen over a stock, albeit custom version, Lollipop ROM?
Battery life? Camera? Stability? Speed?
Thanks for any and all advice.

Nah in my opinion, most of the AOSP based ones are more or less the same since everyone more or less uses the Cyanogenmod base for G3
LG UI based custom roms are just essentially a jazzed up stock os that essentially offer not that many practical advantages in day to day use

I love cm13 compared to stock. Its way more smooth compared to stock and the phone is either faster or feels faster anyways still a plus. Then there is the great option of themes. I like my phone generally dark so i have my dark theme. Well the camera is is not as cool as stock but it takes decent pictures i can work with that. At the moment it has a couple of bugs but nothing too serious. Once u go cm13 u wont go back unless u use your phone for some HEAVY PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHIC work which i dont and doubt u do.
