Hi guys! I bought yesterday a SGSIII. After few hours i decided to install a CM 11. it works fine, but there isn't HDR option in google camera and CM camera. So I tried to find something other. I found stock camera, but for 4.3.x (here it link for it: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/75589-galaxy-s3-stock-camera-for-aosp/) But it makes bootloops on CM11. Is there any option to make it work, or maybe there is any good camera app with HDR?
I don't know where put this thread. IF it should be in Q&A section, please moderator to move it
i remember the TouchWiz camera working rly well on aosp rom. would be nice if someone could port it for 4.4
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
Would be nice....waiting for it too.

i'm waiting too. someone can porting samsung stock camera to cm11.
I don't think a TouchWiz stock camera app for sgs3 would work on 4.4.x AOSP/CM because the s3 international devices didn't get a kitkat rom, camera app of 4.3 Android won't work on 4.4
But there is a hope, some s3 variants like Verizon (with 2gb of ram) received a kitkat update, after all they have the same camera HW, so I think it is possible to use this roms camera app!
All we need now is someone to capable of such thing to read this post

Samsung Camera cannot work (well) on AOSP anyway. As it is true that mentioned Android versions are incompatible - noone officially managed to run a 100% working Samsung Camera on 4.3 AOSP ROM (let alone 4.4.). You had to replace the stock one with Samsung one and then either you had problems with autofocus or video recording or the app would FC itself. I've googled this before because I wasn't happy with CM camera quality, but there are no good solutions if your sticked to Samsung.
However I flashed a Samsung based kernel (ArchiKernel, arter97 kernel...) and CM11S camera app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/17-fixed-camera-app-lib-cm-aosp-roms-t2505973) and with it you get superb quality (99-100% like Samsung Camera). However HDR isn't avaliable at this time but it sucked on stock Samsung Camera anyway, so...
It is a beautifull dream ?, but i think is not possible.

yes thats true, there is allot of features that wont work, like GeoTagging, due to the dependency on stock ROM blobs, kernel and apps! still the core camera app functions can be ported, and no alternative camera app can really replace the stock one, because its the only one that can use the phones camera hardware image processing!
all s3 variants have the same camera HW and blobs, therefore posting the app from s3 models that received an official kitkat update is doable, but is it feasible? thats up to the experts to say!
whats even better if someone can develop an app that can use the phones camera HW itself, but thats out of the question because the blobs are not open source!
CyanogenMOD AOSP camera uses the HW blobs, and not all S3 models use the same camera, I don't think. It's not really going to happen, porting the stock camera to AOSP. If it could be done well enough it'd be done by now.

Anyone able to port over the Touchwiz Camera for use on CM10?
I use the camera app quite a bit, and I think that the Touchwiz Camera is far superior to the stock JB camera..
No, anything Samsung related will not get ported over.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
is there any particular reason why?
Aosp framework and Samsung framework are totally different. And apparently the camera is what suffers. Almost every aosp based ROM I've heard of across the 3 devices I've u used have had buggy cameras.

Hello!
I'm wondering what's the best, fastest and most stable ROM for v500 now. I'm going to install this one first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2621904
But is there better one (mostly for web surfing, not games)?
Cheers,
The most stable rom I have found is the official cm11. The ir blaster doesnt work and the camera doesnt work for me but I dont use the camera anyway on my tablet. The rom is fast, smooth, regular updates and is way better than the stock lg one. Id say go for cm11.

I second that.
What with front camera? Also not working? That would be shame, because I'm using Skype often.

The front camera always works with CM. The problem is the back camera which does not work on some versions of the v500.
And you should flash mani kernel v19 or red kernel to get rid of the seldom sound hisses.
Every CM rom i have used the front camera has worked fine, youll notice the quality isnt as clear as the stock camera but no camera on a AOSP rom is anythign special. Its always the back camera which seems to have an issue.
Hello, I would like to ask, if there is some good ROM for daily use with original (or better than original) cam app. I have Liquid Milestone amani 3,2 ROM which is fine, but camera seems to be making worse photos than stock one and its missing some advanced features. I have no idea what kind of cam app is there, seems like google but dont know for sure. Anyway, i am also missing many features of stock cam. Bought this phone becouse of 20mpx cam, becouse I always focus on photography when picking some new device. Until today I had everything stock but now I am on unlocked bootloader seeking the best ROM for making photos with most advanced cam apk. If there is no such a ROM, will have to go back on stock software.
Thanks for any advices.
Try Kitslim_AMG for a stock based custom ROM or MIUI 5 for a different feeling. Both use the stock cam. Combined with Superior 20MP (Xposed Module) you have everything you ask for.
thank you for reply, going to try them
Hi!
I believe I know the answer to the question, but, is there any way to have both the AOSP dialer and the stock camera?
As far as I know AOSP based roms, such as Cyanogen, do implement the dialer but need LG drivers in order to have the camera working at it's best, which none is implementing at the moment (and looks quite hard to do in the near future).
On the other hand, Stock based roms don't have a way to replace the dialer as of now.
I come from a Nexus device and have been using Lollipop for some months now (since the first preview). I think the dialer is the best overall improvement of Lollipop besides material design.
But the thing about the G3 is that the camera is great. Being used to crappy Nexus cameras this is a whole notch above, and don't want to loose it. Mainly the video recording quality.
I wouldn't mind having either a stock or AOSP based rom. I've tried ChupaChups, Cyanogen, and am using now AN 6.1. All of them are working great.
Anyway I'm sure it's a matter of waiting a bit, development for the G3 is picking up speed.

Cant agree more with you. When im on stock, i miss the G Dialer so badly and when I go with AOSP, I just cant stand its ****ty camera. Now im on Chupachups but still longing for the dialer solution. Hope that one day Google will release its Dialer just as it did with the Messenger recently. 3rd Dialer wont replace the stock interface during call.
Have you tried any 3rd party dialer from Play Store?
Could anyone possibly port the stock N7100 camera to cm11??. I've heard that the cm11 stock camera doesn't do well, especially in low-light conditions(well.. Actually I've experienced too). Seems the software doesn't do fair with the hardware).

Unfortunately the stock camera needs TW (TouchWiz) framework to work, so its impossible to run samsung apps on aosp (android open source project)
Still there is "Google Camera" give it a try
