Looking forward to using AOKP or even CM9 when they're finally 100% on our HOXs, but I really like the HOX's stock camera software.
I'm assuming that Sense is required for the stock camera software to work. Is that accurate? I remember the Sense keyboard being available on non-Sense roms in the past.
Would a third party camera app be able to access the phone's special image chip features?
Has anyone come across a third party camera that comes close to emulating the features of the stock app?

for sense camera app to work on aokp that will be a big no no as it depends on the sense UI framework. maybe a third party camera app yes but then it depends on the kernel that is being used as well though. i remembered there was few things needed for the camera to work on the s2 and it needed the kernel source to be provided to get a few things working on there with cm9. but anyway to answer to the main question yes to use stock sense camera on cm9 or aokp you will not be able to as that camera app is dependant on the sense framework
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.

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.

yeah. i keep going back to Touchwiz for the camera app.
I've flashed many roms Paranoid Android, CM, etc. They are blazing fast and lag free but the only that is preventing me from staying on those roms is the camera. It seems like the camera drivers for AOSP roms are just not as good as the ones on stock Touchwiz. Am I overthinking this, or are Samsung camera drivers a bit better than those found in custom roms?
I would like to continue running CM 10.1.2 but the camera is really my main gripe. Are there any alternatives or do I have to be stuck on Touchwiz?

I know this is a little old but I thought it's worth quoting as i'm in the same boat. What roms does the camera work best for the gs2?
I added the camera from the Nexus 5 pull and it's leagues better than the AOSP camera. Had a weird issue where I was taking a quick pic and it rebooted but that's only happened once so far
Why does the camera in my HTC OneX as blur as I take a picture at 20 cm distance.
My camera was good on the stock rom but it hasnt been very good since i flashed Cyanogenmod.
Aside form being on a stock rom, I dont think there is much you can do about it

That's the difference between aosp and sense roms. The camera needs the sense framework for full support. It's common known that the camera has less performance on aosp/cm based roms.
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.
