OK so I got this phone a few days ago and jumped right in, looking for one main thing in a rom. Good camera. and what I have found from flashing back (starting with) stock 2.2.1 is that the camera rocks. Very quick shot response time and the options are great, along with sharp pictures. But at the same time it was lacking features in the os that you can't live without at this point. ( its been so long since I have used a 2.2.1 ROM like omg) then moved on to stock GB and same UI and speed just crap for
quality, what's up with that. So the natural course is to then move on to CM builds
starting with 7.2 and in this I found everything I wanted an advanced os with a good
camera. The issue with this is that for the life of me I could not enable the shutter
sound so now on to my questions.
#1-In CM7.2 stable how can I enable the shutter sound. ( don't ask why I want it, I'll
just tell you I'm OCD and it was driving me nuts)
#2-Is there a mod for build 9-10 that could give me a type of options UI like that of the stock ROMs such a night mode, Iso selection etc...
#3-Is there a fully working photosphere mod for our device.
#4-What do you all think. What rom gives you the best image quality (x) options and are there mods to make our cameras better.

the only thing makes a difference in image quality on any camera is wether its a megapix camera or VGA camera and how many megapixels.

There is no photosphere mod for our device because of hardware limitations.
I flashed my G3 to have the latest (when I flashed it) CyanogenMod (Version: 12.1-20151023-NIGHTLY-d851 ). Since then, I've been loving my G3. However, I'm having some problems with the camera. I've tried the default camera app CM uses, and then with OpenCamera. My pictures are just generally very low-quality compared to stock Android.
I've tried: Bumping up the image quality in Open Camera's settings. (settings -> photo settings -> Image Quality)
Waiting longer for the camera to focus.
Double and triple-checking the resolution. (Images are correct resolution, but are blotchy and/or fuzzy.)
It doesn't seem to be any of those, but I'm fairly new to the Android crowd.
I will provide photos for comparison, but not of the same object. (I haven't taken photos of much more than my cat, so bear with me.) Both before and after installing CyanogenMod, pictures of my cat turn out lower-quality than of other things. This may be because of a noise algorithm that has issues with fur, but what do I know? Seriously, I'm super new.
Here's an Imgur album (Two pictures): imgur (dot) com /a/AxAhT
I know Imgur compresses images or whatever, but the difference is pretty clear. I couldn't find anything else I had taken pictures both before and after installing CyanogenMod. I have a picture of gummy worms from before, but that doesn't help without an after.
Any other relevant questions, I can probably answer.
Go on apk mirror and search CyanogenMod camera (the one plus one ) it works perfect (good quality ) after try flashing Androidcid-MOD-G3_20150511_V11-SPARTAN.zip and choose your aroma.
From what I understand stock camera is better because of proprietary files that are not present in CM. So if camera quality is a priority, stock is the way to go. I love CM Official, but I'm trying out stock based roms for this reason.

This makes a lot of sense, actually. Camera quality isn't a huge priority. I rarely use it, and am going to get a GoPro fairly soon. I just wasn't sure what was causing the issue. I love CM too much to give it up for better quality photos.
Semi on-topic: With this Nightly build of CM, my phone seems to shut down at random (though fairly rarely), and become unresponsive. I have to remove the battery and re-insert it before I'm able to power on my phone. This didn't happen with stock Android, so I'm fairly certain it's a CM thing. Is it that the Nightlies are generally unstable? Is there a stable version I can switch to?
Would I be able to copy my current 'data' folder (apps and their sign-in info, as far as I can tell) to the stable CM version and cut out all the extra setup time of re-downloading and signing into my apps?
I have a love/hate relationship with CM. On one hand it's buttery smooth when it works, but frequent (for me) random reboots kill it. They always seem to happen at the most inopportune times. I haven't been able to find an AOSP rom that doesn't have this symptom either.

I'm current running OOS Open Beta 9 but I've heard that CM 14.1 is better than OOS. Please help me choose between CM 14.1 and OOS open beta 9.
Thank you guys very much !
Best bet would be to give both a try and decide for yourself. Peoples opinions are just their opinions.
Personally I prefer CM 14, but Im running OB9. Performance wise, I can't determine a significant difference, but if you enjoy customizations, CM is the way to go. I run stock because the battery seems to be better and phone signal is always completely full. With CM roms the signal icon is always empty. I can still use data, calls, and texts just fine, but it's bothersome. Try out CM. I recommend Cypher Os or Ressurection. Both great roms.
Interesting poll
I have been on CM14.1 since it came out and enjoyed flashing everyday to see what was improved and on the odd day what was broken.
CM 14.1 is a lot faster and smoother rom without question and obviously a lot more customable, the wifi is solid but the phone signal was hit and miss for me with periods of poor or no signal.
OOS Open beta 9 is slower but more stable and the phone signal is great with clear calls at all times but wifi appears to have some issues, on the first charge the battery was not so good but after a 2nd charge this is much better and not far beyond cm 14.1 in actual usage.
I’m going to vote for OOS Open beta 9 for the fact it is so stable which is what most people want and need and will stick with it until the flashing bug gets the better of me.
I really want to try CM 14.1 but CM ROM always have worst camera quality than stock ROM. Then with a phone, camera is one of the most important thing. I'm so confusing
OOS. Only one reason. Camera!
I am running OOS Beta 9. I didn't have issues on CM14 roms, but when it comes to camera, VoLTE, VoWIFI (wifi calling), these things are not offered in CM to the same degree, if at all. So I am using a modded stock version.
Reading thru everyone's opinion will make you more confused.
I prefer OOS because I prefer stability and camera quality.
One person prefers the CM than OOS, vice versa.
This has nothing to do with your own preference tbh.
YOU must try them to see which will benefit you most.
My suggestion would be give them each run for at least a week or more. Then try switching to other OS.
Nothing beats the hands-on experience vs comments/opinions.
Happy flashing
Try Sultans cm13. Good camera and superb battery and no annoying bugs
well i most have to say you can really feel the touch improvements that android 7.1 brings when you type with swiftkey in cm14.1 compared to OOS nougat, i advice you if you want to install cm14 install the ones with OOS nougat blobs. the camera is not that bad but yeah OOS have better camera.
performance wise because OOS have some optimization for F2FS file format, it sometimes faster in opening apps and big games, but i prefer the touch improvements that comes with CM 14.1
CAMERA
nothing more 2 say.
OOS > rest... until Oneplus release camera sources.
Even if I love customization on my phone, I will defo say bye bye customization for camera quality. This phone isn`t perfect on camera, but cm camera makes it look cheap phone, specially in low light conditions. Even if I`m not using much in low light, I like those pics to look decent, not glowing with noise. so CM if you like to look different, OP9 if you still wanna have a decent camera. Also CM doesn`t comes with much of a battery improvement so that would be the second choice to go for OP9.
Hello guys, here a htc m7, m8, m9 and few nexus devices user
Can I ask something to anyone who was here before me? just to be updated about the situation:
-is there vulkan support here?
-no daydream eh?
-what exactly do we lose with AOSP roms? sound should be fine since the bass/high system is a phisical thing...I just expect camera performance drop
-I was something about AOSP CAF....is there really a pure aosp compiled port?? with no lineage stuff? would be great
-Is EAS really magic as they say?
-Is there a full stock rom zip? with no wipe?
-I feel the display colors a little unbalanced...how are you dealing with that?
-Camera is great, no dubt, but I expected more....
I was on nexus 5x and google camera's hdr+ does an amazing job on post process, making shots more eye-candy, despite of quality
are you using third party apps? any advice? low light shots are really noisy
Thank you very much for your attention

If it isn't there, it will be soon. Taiwanese 10's have it I think, but it'll get pushed to all of them in coming OTA's.
I don't believe so, needs AMOLED per Google's official specs
I think the only feature loss with AOSP is VoLTE and WiFi Calling.
Yes, its WIP but the only thing not working that I know of is video recording. Eliminater74 will fix it.
Eh, its neat but its not the be all, end all. It's more of an alternative to PnP.
Yes, check Sneakyghost's thread or download a RUU.
Custom kernel's and the AOSP ROMs have color sliders for fine tuning.
I use Google cam on Res Remix and the stock camera for Sense. Works for my uses.

Many thanks for reply! I didn't know about amoled for [email protected]
I think that in aosp we should lose boomsound and proprietary camera stuff, that help with image processing....
Tried nebula rom yesterday, I expected a cleaner rom....and something more on performance haha but htc devices never played well with aosp IMO
I can tune the display, but without a good tool....you know, is hard to achieve a good calibration
I'm going to try google camera, but nexus have dedicated post processing systems that, really, make the difference....just look at pixel shots....though pixel have similar camera, they look far better
Hi, I am looking for the best camera app for my D855 with Dirty Unicorn 7.1.2. Can you help me? there is an original camera's porting for aosp?

what should i do?
Impossible.
I have tried htc 10 camera port, snap camera hdr, google camera. They are all the same. The best alternative is lg g2 camera port. You can see the difference in low light conditions.
This one:

You have to downgrade your display resolution to 1920x1080 @ 420 dpi.

Why there is LG G2 camera ported (without certain features, but it is), and there aren't any g3 camera port :/

Because G2 has a full hd display and this app comes from it.
If you run it on a qhd display like the G3 one you wiil encounter an incorrect visualization.
It's easy to change the resolution and dpi
using terminal emulator,if the phone is rooted

Easy DPI Changer works as well, and it is best to use lg g3 on 1080p res makes the phone much more fast and stable.
Hi, I also miss the superior quality of camera from stock ROM. I was trying to follow some tutorials on porting vendor apps to AOSP (getting the camera apk file, some libraries, framework files and permission files and compiling them all together), but it never worked with the camera. Sadly, I'm pretty sure that if it was possible, somebody smarter would have already done it. With LG being jerks and not releasing the sources, we most likely won't get the stock camera on AOSP, ever. That being said, I can think of four possible ways of dealing with the situation.
First, use stock ROM only. Yes, I know, that sucks. Or stock based ROM such as Fulmics, if you really think there is a difference between these two.
Second option is multirom. I was using it for last few months with LineageOS as primary and stock as secondary ROM, and everytime when I knew I would be taking some photos (when I went to concerts/holidays/celebrations/some unusual stuff), I booted to stock ROM and was good to go.
Third option is to have a TWRP backup of your current system and of stock ROM and restoring the backup of the ROM you want to use (AOSP for daily usage, stock for the days you know you'll be using your camera a lot). The previous (multirom) option is faster and easier to manage, and you can always add new ROMs and experiment as you wish. However, it requieres a custom recovery and I wasn't able to pass SafetyNet test with multirom and LineageOS with Magisk. Also, multirom makes a little bit of a mess at your /system partition. This third option (backing up/restoring system in TWRP) takes longer, the backups are large, but I'm liking that a bit more for some reason - it feels "cleaner" and more transparent to me.
The last option is to be on AOSP and use a camera app of your choice which you find has the best quality. I was experimenting with this a lot and tried dozens of camera apps (including the LG G2 camera port). Honestly, most of the photos were about the same quality. Even the G2 camera wasn't better than the rest I tested. I also compared the test pictures to stock camera (yes, I took the time to reboot to my secondary ROM for every test I was making at that time) and I was very sad that nothing was close to the stock camera quality. LG really does some magical post processing which works like a charm and looks really good. Anyways, after the tests I decided to stick with Snap Camera HDR. It has a trial and a paid version on the Play Store, in case you want to give it a shot. At good light conditions, the photos are actually comparable to stock camera. There is tons of settings to play with. It has a special "LG mode", which actually works even on AOSP ROMs and enables some LG specific features. It can also record 4K videos with stabilization. If you give it a try and really look into the settings (I recommend going also to the developer's website, where every option in the settings is described), you might end up with decent stock camera replacement. It took me about an hour to go through all the settings, but I'm fairly satisfied with the photos now. Although it has been last updated almost a year ago on the Play Store, there is a much more recent beta version here on the xda forums.
tl;dr I believe that porting stock camera app to AOSP is impossible. If you want stock camera quality, you really have to use stock ROM one way or another (either be on stock, or have a stock ROM TWRP backup and restore it whenever you want to take a good photo, or use multirom to switch your current ROM more quickly). If you want to use AOSP exclusively, I recommend Snap Camera HDR.

There's another option similar (or not) to multirom:
For installing multiple ROMs I use DualBootPatcher, a great method devised originally for the SGS4, but available for a number of devices now, including our G3. I highly recommend it, it seems cleaner than multirom to me and more user friendly. It is possible to flash ROMs from within the app (they have to be patched first, this also happens inside the app, hence the name), backup, restore and more. There may be some hiccups now and then, but all in all it works smoothly.
Just search the LG G3 forums for DualBootPatcher, there's a thread with download links, description and how-to.

Snap Camera would look good on good light conditions but the actual problem starts with low light, Snap camera adds too much noise on photos compared to LG Camera Port, LG camera port is also great on good light conditions. Any camera app can seem close to stock on good light but real comparison should be made on low light. None of them is comparable to stock LG G3 camera of course, i think laser autofocus and object tracking don't work in any of them.
Check my comparison below(On Snap Camera, LG mode and noise reduction enabled):

Try Snap Camera, or Open Camera.
What about Snapdragon Camera? There is a versione for Nougat that we could use?
Try Footej Camera
