Hey guys, now that a few custom roms arised I figures I'll open up this thread to see what camera people use along with their custom rom and what your experiences are...
So I am on CM13 using "A better camera" and this gived me the best point and shoot results so far.
Its a pity that all third party apps seem not to be able to make use of the laser focus, so focus speed seems to suffer a lot for me!
Please share your thoughts an experiences with the community in this thread!
Cheers

Okay, did a quick search but didn't get back anything positive, so I am asking here.
So, I will be up for travelling and will want to use my phone as the device to capture photos. I need suggestions on a ROM that has very good camera function (or maybe an apps of alternative camera) as well as good stability (can't expect me to flash new ROM during my travel right?) and nice battery life.
Oxygen has gotten my attention about its battery life, but I can't recall how well does it perform in term of camera. I don't mind using the lgCamera though, but am unsure how good is that.
Currently using robo's 2.0 CM7 version, saw that there could be some issues about the camera but I can't tell if it's happening to me.
Any more suggsetion?

The similar threads weren't of any help on this issue from what I could tell, and I'm sure it's something that's a straight forward answer, but I really just wanted to know if there's any way to fix my camera on my G2. The issue I'm having is that while using the Un-Official CM9-RC2 build I'm having serious issues with the camera taking a bit low quality images from time to time, as well as being unable to scan in bar codes due to the fact that it's unable to auto-focus, or even focus on anything for that matter.
If more information needs to be provided, I'll be glad to. I don't consider myself an expert on Android development, so excuse me for this question. Thanks!

First of all you are on an unofficial cm build so you should no get every thing working perfect, try clearing camera data in settings if it does not help
then its certainly your rom but also try clearing cache if it still does not go then maybe you have to change the rom, there are many roms that have camera working in good shape check the developer section an un-official CM will not help always read the details of rom before downloading them every rom has its good and bad so its your choice looking at the kind of roms here i dont think CM is gonna help some dev use them as a base to build stable roms try those
you can try andromadus audacity or mimicry ics and for sense try gen y visionx there are sooo many good roms out there why stick to un -official ones HOPE I HELPED

If that doesn't work, try clearing the cache. If those don't work, it's most certainly your ROM, and you should maybe considering switching to a ROM that has the camera working in good shape. Check the developer section, an un-official CM will not always work, so read the details of the ROM before downloading them to determine whether it's good or bad.
You can always try Andromadus, Audacity, or Mimicry ICS and for Sense you might try gen y visionx. There are so many good ROMS out there, why stick to the un-official ones? Hope I helped!

(The quoted post was edited for more clarity and understanding while I was trying to read over it.)
The camera app doesn't have any cache, I did clear the data but the problem still persists. I'll consider using another ROM, however I do believe it's mainly the camera drivers for ICS for G2 that are just rubbish at the moment though. I was mainly seeing if anyone had any fixes or recommendations besides just switching.

You're right, the quality won't be as good in ICS as it was in GB. I can't say the same for JB, but for ICS we need(ed) major changes/rewrites to the camera drivers in general.
Developers tried tirelessly to get the camera codes from Qualcomm, not sure they gave them out so the dev had to work around it. But some sense ics roms have very good camera quality and HD video . I am on gen y vision X you can try that

Just wondering if anyone has figured out why the camera on aosp Roms focuses for some and not for others. I've had the problem right from the very first aosp flash I did. Maybe a full data wipe and adb side load would help? I know there's a script work around but it doesn't make sense that it works for some and not others. Not to me anyways. But great job on the Roms. Really liking them and thanks.

The problem exist because of the differences in the Nexus 4 camera and the one in our phone. Because LG hasn't released open source drivers for our phone's camera (and/or doesn't see the monetary benefit in supporting 3rd party development) LGOG developers appear to be stuck using and trying to adapt the software from the Nexus 4. The camera will focus during the first launch of the camera apk then be unable to focus until the process is killed completely and restarted.
Those who are reporting that their camera works just fine in an AOSP ROM are one of the following: Those who have applied the kill / relaunch script, those who only tested their camera on first launch, or those who are so accustomed to crappy phone cameras that they consider anything greater than a completely blurry mess to be "in focus."
I often wondered if it was really working for some. But thanks for the info and I guess I will just try to stay patient. Hopefully there is an improvement soon. The camera takes great photos on lifeless but I really like the aosp Roms.
Hi, My OP5T will be arriving in a couple days and I will be modifying it immediately. Personal preference. I was just wondering if there is any differences between the camera on the stock ROM and on a custom ROM? If it's not a massive difference I wouldn't mind.
Much appreciated!
hey, I'm interested in this too. specifically the dots - will they appear in all custom roms due to lacking oos camera drivers?
hope someone can clarify!
thx,

Tried both, tried 5 other camera software - none are good enough, returned mine. Remember that you have 14/15 days for the return. Out of the best camera software I found either stock camera in pro mode, or Better Camera with best shot enabled. it takes 3 pictures and selects the best one with least blur - exceptionally useful to compensate for lack of OIS>
Hi,
I've been reading forum posts, both on xda and OP forums, tested LOTS of apks from https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/ but the failure rate is just too high and I need a more systematic approach. There are just too many mods and variants for the Google Camera to test and going only for the obvious OP 5T ones did not bring any good result so far. They either crash, don't open, lag, etc.
My Phone: OnePlus 5T
- OOS 5.1.7
- blu spark kernel
- rooted (magisk)
If there are some Google Camera apps that are KNOWN to work on OP5T, or if there are some which are specially developed for other phones and they won't work on mine, any type of information would help right now, to narrow the amount of apks to test. I'm just fed up with the amount of "oil-painting effect" the stock camera provides and a solution must be found.
Many thanks for anyone willing to help.
