ROMs that don't limit recording length/record in HD

I've noticed some of the ROMs
- Don't record in 720p
- Some limit video to 30m or less
- Some have aan awful interface (the sense one is much better)
So, I'm looking for a ROM that has 720p, doesn't put a limit on video recording, and ideally has the sense UI look (i.e. no big grey box around the video taking up half the screen!)

Good luck, if you want the SenseUI look and feel of a camera then you're not going to get that anywhere else except the SenseUI ROMs.
I believe the length limitation is hard coded into the Camera source so you're going to have to use an AOSP build that has modified the code to use a longer period.

I'm cool with sense ui. Just not cool with the HTC **** like friend stream and peep, so I guess what I really want is stock froyo with sense, minus the HTC aps.

There's a few of those kicking around, not fully clean but with a lot removed. You could remove them yourself through ADB if you wanted..

No idea how to do that.
So,
Anyone suggest the best rom for
Sense UI (I could use a different launcher) and 720p.

Oh and minus HTC crap like peep and friend stream

lambros custom rom r3.1 EXTREME

The video duration maximum of 29:59 is enforced to evade an EU tax for camcorders.
I wonder if that limit is present in stock ROMs that are exclusively distributed outside of the EU?!

[TEST] OpenDesire vs. AuraxTSense 720p video quality

OpenDesire 4.0.4 against the AuraxTSense 7.6.1 version
Pure Google Android against HTC Widget UI
I was a long time Sense UI fan, then out of curiosity and love towards Google i tried the OpenDesire project by Adam and i like very much the speed and beauty of everything.
What bothered me though was the lack of some settings in camera/videocamera. No touch to focus during video especially.
Today i tried one last test, to see who will win my heart and my Desire over.
THIS is the OpenDesire 4.0.4 shot by video.
Wiped, flashed the AuraxTSense 7.6.1 version (contrary to the title in the actual video) and shot THIS video.
Do you agree that the video by OD is far better and smooth? Only if there was that darn touch to autofocus. Maybe even DURING the shooting?
As for me, i'm nandroidRestoring my way back to OpenDesire.
Thanks for reading!

Says that the video's are private...

yeah, cannot view the videos

I forgot to change the settings.. Will do.. Check in a minute..

shooting videos is 1 thing..being able to view them decently is another..if i had the sense music player , video player, gallery, radio app, camera functions, video functions pretty widgets that exist in sense, i would go od in a heartbeat..but nope..noway..even the keyboard has to be changed to b fanctional for my language..

I've done this test many, many times.
AOSP roms with Nexus One cyanogen ported camera (like cyanogenmod, defrost and opendesire too) have the advantage of a lower datarate (6Mbit vs 7.5Mbit) which is easier on the microsd and also sometimes of a better auto-iso management especially in not-so-ideal lighting. On the other hand I think the camera app is crap in itself and lacks autofocus badly.
If you have a fast enough microsd and adjust a bit the iso on HTC Sense, you will end up probably with equal or better results.
Oh and by the way, I can't stand stock android lack of polish

Best Camera app for Z1C with custom rom?

Hi,
I am using a custom rom (a fairly recent CM 12.1 nightly) on my Z1C. As often mentioned, the default Camera App (as well as the Google Camera app) produce rather bad pictures, especially in the dark.
I am looking for some replacement app (free or not). There are plenty of them, and I am looking for some recommendations. I am especially interested in the following points:
- Noise reduction in the dark
- Possibility to save pictures to an external SD card
- Convenient panorama feature
- Manual settings
- ...
Thank you very much!
PS: I am aware of the possibility to port the Z4 Camera App, but I am looking for some more out-of-the-box solution...

Camera FV-5 and A better camera are your best options for any phone , just don't expect miracles on the Z1c. The lack of Camera api 2 support from Sony will make diferences marginal between any camera apps.

open Camera is an acceptable alternative, but I guess the main differences are firmware/Os related

If photos quality is a top priority for you, you are better off going back to srock and restoring camera features (and other drm stuff) on this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...evices-drm-t2930672/post60772411#post60772411
Camera in cm is ****. The difference is as clear as day and night.

Ok, thanks everybody for your answers!

I'm totally happy with Camera MX 3.0 - can't beat the price!

LG G4, cm/aosp and camera quality like vs stock?

Looking at moving from a G3 to a G4 and wondered, for those that are running a cm or aosp based ROM, what's the quality of the pictures like vs those taken with a stock ROM?
Thanks

My opinion
Well i used diffrent custom ROMs (CM, Blisspop,) and stock ROM, and by my experience i think stock rom produces better pictures, i dont know why or how or if stock really produces better pictures, but thats just my opinion. would like to hear experiences from more veteran CM based rom users.

Normally cm/aosp camera are not as great as stock.
My last phone(LG Optimus G) had the same issue but when Devs started to implement the stock drivers from camera into cm/aosp then the quality was almost the same as stock.
Don't know how devs are working here because i have the phone only for 2 weeks but for what i see the biggest "problem" is the way to unlock the bootloader.
It seems LG just made a step back with this phone in terms of development.

Stock camera is definitely better - you could use other camera apps like "Camera FV-5" or "A Better Camera" for better results with CM/AOSP based roms.

- Can't use shutter speeds longer than 0.5s with 3rd party cameras even on stock firmware. That is quite a drop from the 30s stock can do.
- Some examples i saw showed that auto in low light does not work well at all. Max ISO which is something that never happens in stock auto.
- How do they get access to use the colour sensor & laser auto focus.
- what resolution is CM burst mode (9MP stock) & CM panorama (can be in excess of 100MP with stock) etc.
- night shot which is a mode automatically used in low light with the rear camera that employs image averaging is lost. Night shot mode is used much more often with the front camera. So selfies are not going to be as crisp.
- unclear whether unlocking the boot loader causes any permanent loss to the above.
I've not even seen full resolution examples from cm camera just reduced resolutions. So cannot tell if sharpness of details in the distance is retained or not.
Early days, we'll have to see how it goes. There's a lot of testing that remains to be done to even begin to answer the OP's question.
If you want CM that bad get a device that runs it out of the box. Wiley Fox swift is one example.

Thanks for this post, I was wonderful the same question.
What is the current situation, for exemple with snap camera designed for G4?
Thanks to anyone for an update answer!

Snap Camera does a great Job, since codeworxx startet to work on it. Besides the ui, that is not as individual as LG's, almost every feature from the stock cam is working (except high speed/slomo filming I guess). Picture quality is getting pretty close to the stock camera . I use it as a daily driver and I'm pretty satisfied with it.

Best replacement camera app (I know, it's like beating a dead horse but seriously)

I've reverted back to Touchwiz (KK) because I feel like I can really see the difference between photo's, be it the 16x9 ratio or clearness when you zoom in but once again, I flashed a different rom, this time it's the GPE 5.01.
I'm just tired of the laggy ness of TW even though I was running the google launcher with google now, it just lags, so far with GPE I've had none of those issue's but I like to capture my memories and I don't want to regret this later on.
Currently I'm using the stock google camera, a better camera and I've used Camera FV-5 in the past which was great with all the options but would obviously take time to learn, basically, I'm looking for an app that takes 16x9 pictures (I use a flat screen to view & share my photo's and 4x3 just looks generic I feel).
Are there ANY app's out there, paid or free that will give me the quality of the stock Samsung camera app?
Like I stated in the title, I know this has been gone over many times and everyone has an opinion but I thought I'd check once more before I flash back to TW and deal with the lag just so I can use the stock camera.
Thanks!
