I was currently on an AOSP rom but had to flash back to stock rom because I needed to update the my PRL and profile. While on stock rom, I opened up the stock camera app and noticed the camera took really nice pictures and the video I recorded looked so clean and crisp.
I flashed back to Mahdi-Rom (I also noticed this on Dirty Unicorn, CM 11, Pac-Man) and saw that the AOSP camera app did not look as good as stock. When I tried video recording it looked bad.
My questions, are you guys using the AOSP camera app or another app that makes the video recording and taking pictures look better?

Just curious. But is the stock ROM OpTimus or Stocktimus? Those 2 have a modded camera app.
But plain ol stock did pretty good to.

Been flashing my phone like crazy. I've noticed the camera app on aosp roms take much clearer pictures. I'm back on myns rom with what appears stock camera app. How can I get the aosp camera app on a sense rom? Thanks

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

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 ??
Hello. I was wondering if the quality of the camera is any different(not as good) on aosp then stock samsung software? When i had my galaxy s2 there was a noticeable diffrrence in the focusing area. Thanks

i am running aokp 4.1.2 with a flashed port of the 4.2 camera. i installed the 4.2 camera simply because the camera app itself on the 4.1.2 rom was very bland and almost outdated. havent had any issues with the new camera and enjoy how well it works. zoom, focus, shutter speed, etc.
i say all this to let you know that there are other options once you've gone aosp-based. cheers
Imo the Samsung camera is better, I have stuck with touch wiz roms for that reason and simply installed the aosp camera and gallery as well, for sphere (the aosp gallery is better for viewing sphere) you will have two camera and gallery, no issues, give it a try:thumbup:

Both take pictures at the same resolution. If you look on a computer, the pictures look the same, no difference between TW and ASOP. The only difference that I can see is that photos are presented clearer on the phone with TW more than on ASOP. However, after the picture is taken, you wouldn't be able to tell which rom it came from.
Yeah. Ive noticed differences in the detail area. And how well the camera focuses with touchwiz roms vs aosp. Its very weird.

which rom are you using? i tried many different roms, CM, aokp, and one TW rom but not happy with camera. S3 camera is pretty decent but i'm not quite happy with ANY rom yet, in terms of camera performance. very slow to zoom, blurry display, unnecessary flash focus, slow to take shots... just went back to stock rom for now.. until i i find a good rom with good cam support.
on the stock rom, shots are real quick. good display.
From everything i have ever seen and read... Samsung's camera is closed source. Anything AOSP/AOKP is never going to be AS good, unless Samsung makes their drivers open source. Touchwiz ROMs utilize the Samsung closed source camera libs.
Either way, I don't really see much of a difference, and I really have no idea as to what the big differences are. There don't really appear to be any huge differences. FWIW I'm on Task650's AOKP ROM.

One thing you should be aware of is that video recording on aosp rom will have very low volume

I noticed coming from Stock TW GS3 that the AOKP 4.22 camera was .... grainy. I did some research and it turns out that the Samsung software takes better advantage of the camera hardware that AOSP cannot by design replicated.
I LOVED AOKP 4.22, but I have a baby and good pics are important, so I flash HyperDrive RS14 because it offers BOTH cameras.
AOSP with photosphere AND the stock TW camera. The "stock" TW camera is largely the same but has been modified. Nevertheless, the TW camera provides MUCH better quality.
Here are two pics, each take at the same time and place with the FLASH on . Both set to 8 mp.
The darker one is the HyperDrive RS14 ROM TW cam.
The pics actually were taken farther out, this is just a screenshot of zoomed in to show clarity.

The differences in those photos is far more than camera apps... the one that is claimed AOSP is out of focus and blown out, it looks as if exposure was set as high as it would go... the Sammy photo looks like it is properly exposed and focused... there is more going on in this comparison than just TW vs. AOSP...
If I switch to stock android, will the picture and video quality be the same as it would be in touchwiz? I want to make the switch to stock android, but a fully functioning camera is important to me. I need the best video and picture quality thats possible on this hardware.
I actually like the aosp camera app more as far as photo quality/accuracy. The colors look way more accurate with the aosp camera. As far as functionality everything works great. I'm on slim ROM 2.2

I like the touchwiz camera better, I always experienced better quality and overall picture once you set it to the right settings.

Is it possible for someone to get the stock Samsung camera from Archiport 4.4.2 onto AOSP roms such as CM11. The stock camera is the only one that seems to allow video recording on Snapchat or Vine & I'd like to have it in CM11:good:

Samsung have the blobs for the stock camera, aosp camera is a toy in comparison for this reason I will never return to aosp T_T. so if samsung don't give us his sources we never have the awesome view in aosp
PD:I love aosp but the camera...

Actually the camera on Slimkat works pretty fine. I agree that its not that good as samsung stock one, but not that bad at all. I've heard also that in new CM11 for our phone the camera works well too. But as it was said - I wouldnt believe that it will be as good as stock, because I don't think samsung will give us the drivers.
@edit
I also saw some fix mod for camera, which replaces stock camera in AOSP rom and works even better

To be honest All i want is a camera that works with both Snapchat and vine for video recording. snaps only record 3 seconds instead of 10 and vine just wont record at all :crying:
