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 bought z1c 3 weeks ago and i absolutely love it, best device ever owned
Anyway i came from nexus 4 so i missed the aosp feel
I have two questions regarding aosp roms on xperia z1c
1- will the physical camera key work like in stock rom ( long press: open camera app) (half press: focus) (full press: shutter)
2 - is battery life similar to stock rom, cause it's too damn good on stock and i don't want to loose that
I searched the forums but i couldn't find answers
Thanks in advance
I had the stock rom for about 2 weeks after I got the phone, and I switched to LiquidSmooth (an AOSP rom I believe). The camera still opens using the camera button, and the focus and everything else works as well. I actually noticed an improvement in the battery life coming from stock, so it seems like it works a lot better. I did prefer the camera as well. I switched back to SlimKit (stock rom with some extra features) because the rom I was on had issues displaying videos, but I think it was an isolated incident since nobody else seems to have the issue.
Hope this was helpful!
Thanks buddy , i will try now paranoid android , thanks again
Hey,
I have tried various roms trying to go from stock however the camera is what keeps me with stock. The button behaves in every app just like on stock, no problems with that. Stock camera app gives better results(at least for me). I have heard it is possible to bind different camera app to the shutter button. I have no idea how, though.
The battery is slightly better (not that much) on non-stock roms.
Whoever does 100% working camera port to cm will be golden.
Heollo guys,
as I still own a SGS4mini (i9195), that was running on KitKat, I wanted to improve it a bit.
THerefore, I flashed lineage-13.0-20170318-nightly-serranoltexx-signed.zip.
Basically, most of the things are running fine (as long as you don't use the SD card as internal storage). But a major topic is the camera. The focus is always pumping around and very often just does exactly the wrong thing when the picture gets taken - thus resulting in a lot of blurry pictures.
Do you know some workaround for this?
Thanks,
Matthias
You can try the unofficial LOS 14.1 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga.../rom-cyanogenmod-14-0-s4-mini-3g-lte-t3471761
Even tho it is still listed as [TEST], the ROM had been stable as daily driver for me, and camera works for me. <Tap to set focus works. The S4 has a pretty crappy camera compared to current gen phones, I get lots of motion blurring / artifacts in low light.>
You may also try a different camera app for more control options, although I found stock is pretty good for me.
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.

LG didn't release the sources.
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
Hi there,
I am sick of tired using MIUI and its childish design, so decided to upgrade to AOSP based custom ROMs for my Ginkgo. I can say that i tried almost all custom Q ROM's, but in every one of them built in camera app was taking photos all in yellow accent. It's weird but i've faced this issue for almost all Q ROM's so far. Trying GCam/trCam and plenty of other camera apps didn't help. But when i use WhatsApp's built-in camera, there is no problem. Also there is no problem with MIUI based custom ROM's like MIUI EU, MIUIMIX and MiRoom. So i'm pretty sure it's not related with the hardware, it's software based.
Weird thing is no one except me is talking about this. It's like i am the only one who is facing this bug. Any idea to fix this ****ty issue?
Sample image URL: i.hizliresim.com/yjAzDn.jpg
You’re not alone! I’ve only used ( I’m using Pixel Experience Q) and the stock cam has a warm tint, but I used a GCam with and set it to an inbuilt IMX 586 white balance preset ( Ik, the RN8 has a GM2) and it looked normal He devs should be able to fix it once Xiaomi comes out with actual android 10 miui so they can get proper android 10 blobs!
You are not alone indeed. Also, as well as fixing this, I'd like to understand how one selects between the various cameras. For example, how does one select the 48mp camera ?
(only installed rom last night, so need to play some more but very keen to find an answer to the yellow tint problem)
An update - having tried the camera again today, it is fine. I have both the built-in and open camera apps. I will do more testing tonight but this tinting thing might be a misapplication of some night-mode setting (no, I didn't have night-mode enabled when I tested the camera last night and got tinted results).
that is the issue with device tree
wait for new tree by fabian
Hello, I did some more testing last night. It seems (and I am no photographic expert) that if the camera is used in ambient light then it appears to work fine. If there is any "warm" light (such as from a light bulb) in the area it can see then it over-tones yellow. I tried it in the evening and again this morning. I guess we just need to wait for the device tree?
I did wonder if installing the MIUI camera app would work better - I haven't tried it but I guess the device tree would make this an issue at a lower level than the apps...
im curious about this yellow tint as well, a friend has an iphone 11 pro with no yellow tint in the same room as me, note 8t same problem as op's
