Guys m thinking a lot lot before rooting n installing any rom
One thing cameto n my mind that of i into any custom rom
What thing features i will losse i mean
Face unlock/camera quality /any other feature .?
OOS Camera apparently can never work right on custom ROMs, which annoys a lot of us. Basically the only reason why I'm stuck on OOS forever. You can use the Google Camera but there are a million versions and most of them have problems with Slow motion, front portrait, or some other thing. It works, but it's not perfect. It also doesn't flip the selfies like the stock camera does, which actually bothers me. So you either need to edit it before sending or just deal with it.

Hi everyone! This is my first post here so I hope I'm doing this right. I'm not sure if this should be here in Q&A or in the App section but here goes.
I really love my Epic 4G. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I was still running Dk28 with midNIGHT rom 3.1. Then I finally switched over to the wonderful CM9 Beta1. I am loving it so far, but there's one thing that bothers me. The camera.
One of the things I used to use on the camera very frequently was the panorama/wide shot function. I really hate the sweep panorama of the ICS camera because with the crafts I make, it's just horrible and it's always distorted because sweeping and me don't get along. The camera that was on my leaked Froyo had the feature where I would click the first picture, and while moving to the side a green box would guide me and then automatically take the next shot when it lined up, then I'd move again and it would take the next shot. It would then put the images together for me.
I really need that feature back. Is there a way that I can install that camera app back onto my phone in addition to the updated ICS camera? I really like the smoothness and speed of the ICS camera for normal picture taking.
I can pull the camera.apk from my original install, but as I said, I don't want to overwrite the ICS one, which I fear because they have the same name and I don't know if renaming it will make the difference. I want both. If someone could guide me in getting both on my phone, that would be great. I'm sure there must be a way, but I don't know how to do it. I've read a lot on these boards so I figure if anyone knows how to help, the great minds here do!
I hope I've explained this ok. If I'm not clear, please let me know. Thanks much!
p.s. I've tried a number of camera apps from Play. I don't like the wide shot ones where it has a ghost image for you to line it up manually either, so please don't suggest that.
Hi guys
I originally asked this in the Q&A section a week ago, but I wasn't sure if it belong here in the apps section instead. Since I didn't get any replies, I'm thinking maybe I should have posted it here to begin with. I hope someone in this section might be able to help.
If I'm not supposed to put this in two areas, I apologize. I'm not too forum saavy; just looking for help for my issue.
Thanks a lot guys

I'd love to see the old TW camera on CM9. The ported TW apps thread a couple posts down mentions this, but i haven't seen anyone post a successfully working version yet.
Hopefully someone who knows what they're doing can figure it out for us. *crosses fingers*
Wishlist? Anyone?
Lol....I was running the peoples rom last week and was wondering the opposite. If there was a way to put the ics camera on that tw rom. That's an awesome rom and has the tw camera (obviously), but maybe just flash that and try it for a while?
On a side note.....Not sure if its just me, or does does the ics camera take much better (normal) pictures, even when zooming in quite a bit? I've been wondering if something was done in ics to better utilize the camera hardware.

I find the ICS camera to be really nice for just normal pics. Definitely faster and does seem to be on the clearer side. But I'm really needing that old auto panorama/wide shot feature. (non sweeping motion or ghost line up).
Recently I rooted my phone and install the latest viper rom. I was noticed that I can't make Duo effect pictures anymore. Im wondering is that may be happened becaus of the new rom or i have some duo sensor damaged? i still have some picture made before and i can apply the duo effect on them but its not working for any pictures im making now. And just to let You know I know all the rules how to make a duo effect picture. Should I instal the rom again or back to stock rom...?

Before going too crazy, I would try resetting all camera settings to default. The Dou effects only work on certain shots(no flash, no zoom, etc). If that doesn't help, check the Viper ROM threads to see if anyone is having similar issues, or try a clean flash of the ROM. And, of course, there is always your stock NANDroid backup if all else fails.
On a side note: the Photos app has some pretty cool "auto-awesome" features too, just can't change focal point and such.
Basically, every AOSP 4.4.x rom I have tried (I prefer AOSP) on my device has had camera problems. Unfortunately, I came from a device with a buggy camera already and just cannot deal with camera bugs anymore, so I'm stuck on stock 4.4.2 for now.
My camera bugs are namely that snapchat cannot take videos with the front camera (the one facing my face) and that it vertically stretches any front camera images. I haven't tested many other apps, but I am sure that if problems are popping up in snapchat, they will pop up elsewhere in apps like instagram, etc. Moreover, the camera is very laggy on snapchat. These problems are nonexistent on stock 4.4.2.
Aside from that, Open Camera was the only camera app I could find that wouldn't break the camera until a reboot, which was a tolerable problem because I like that app nonetheless.
I've tried CM11 M12, Liquid Smooth, and Gummy Rom. All have some sort of snapchat camera problem. On Gummy, I couldn't even get the stock camera app to take videos without breaking the camera.
I'm sort of desperate for a solution because I LOVED the battery life and performance I was achieving on CM11. But I just cannot deal with the snapchat camera bugs. I'll take everything working the way it should be over a performance and battery increase.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? ANY help or advice is appreciated!
Will try bumping this a time or two.
Anyone know if these problems are still present in Lollipop? From what I've read they are, at least the typical CM camera crashes are, so I assume the stretching in apps like snapchat also persists.

From what I have read in the CM12.1 LP thread by Matrixzone the issue has been resolved. A search of that thread should confirm or deny if that is correct.

Okay. I checked it out and things are a little unclear. Looks like the camera is pretty much working for normal stuff in the regular camera app. Instagram is reported to not be working, but there's pretty much nothing on the stretching. I may just go over to CM12.1 and try it myself.
Full screen gesture lag, Dolby and Google camera, ARB/brick
I heard the first can be fixed by a EU software update(8.9.2? But at the cost of getting ARB). Should ARB matter for custom roms later or if we never have a reason to downgrade back to an older miui?
Not sure if I've read about anyone getting Dolby to work yet only v4a. The speakers should be loud enough without either but the point of them is to change the way music sounds with bluetooth/earphones. I've never had any luck getting v4a settings to stick so I always used Dolby on every phone.
Miui stock camera might be good enough if there isn't a fully working gcam. Gcam mod is usually better than most stock cameras I've tried though.
I plan to order from trading shenzhen with eu rom pre-installed because I heard global and China rom has too many problems and I don't want to fix with many steps right after buying. Are there problems people run into with eu rom as well? As in something not many have mentioned much yet but could be a problem later on.
I think those are all my main worries before buying this device. Ty to anyone who can answer them!

No full screen gesture lag. If so, run Nova Launcher and use One Plus gestures with hide nav bar. Not sure about Dolby, but Viper works perfect. Google camera works well with the latest from the Google cam thread for mi max 3. As I said before, I've got you covered with installation help. If you want me to walk you through the above, I will do that as well.
I remotely helped another user who had no clue how to install anything. He's good now. :good:
Edit: excellent Viper settings I'm currently using on latest material fx version downloaded and installed from magisk directly: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ound-mod-viper4android-best-settings-t3838605

Thanks for the help again. This is already starting to sound like the perfect phone for me before I even buy it. Connectivity issues not a concern
