I love darch's rom, but the one thing that always has me switch back to a different ROM is the camera. I love the HTC camera because of its wide variety of camera options, and the AOSP camera is so basic. Is there a way to edit the framework so the htc camera would work on that rom, or is it too time consuming?

I dont think its even possible.. Htc camera i doubt is open source, since its there app they dont have to release the source to it.
Try one of the cameras in the market, some have said "camera magic" and couple others.
If I'm not mistaken, the Sense camera needs HTC frameworks to run. DarchDroid lacks in the HTC Frameworks department.
there's got to be a way to do it... it was done on the Nexus One using the camera app from the HTC Desire... I've been trying all night but I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing haha

It's the sense camera really that much better then the cm/aosp camera? Opinions?
Sense will be that much better cos it interacts with ImageSense and has software to make full use of it. AOSP will have to create their own drivers to make the camera work at all. Should AOSP ever produce super awesome camera drivers, then I would expect it to at least match the Sense camera
As of right now Sense camera destroys AOSP camera, due to software.

Yes I just went back to a sense Rom because of it. was really just wondering some of your opinions. I've heard from some that there's really not that much of a difference but it's pretty easily noticed.well hopefully they'll release a pure Google version and we'll be able to steal the drivers from that.

A pure Google version would probably only have basic drivers to ImageSense. If the device supports ImageSense, that means the drivers will have to go open sourced as well. Not sure how much HTC wants that to happen though.
Sense camera is better then AOSP camera.
Not for the zoe etc, but for the software and the ui

It's really difficult to port Sense applications because a lot of the Sense applications are very tied down to the Sense framework (Kinda like how 3D on AOSP ROMs on the Evo 3D doesn't work). At the current moment, I don't know of such a mod that works.
Here's are 2 useful links.
First one, 3 posts down, there is a very simple explanation:

It means you should probably do the same first
Thanks buddy....i'll just try some 3rd party camera app from the playstore.
Hi there,
I installed the Kitkat RUU on my Htc One. The ROM itself is very smooth, but I have one very big problem: The Android stock camera takes quite bad photos. As long as I'm just focussing, the picture quality is as fine as always. But when I actually take the photo, the quality is very bad. This happens to front and rear camera. I already tried Camera ZOOM FX, but I also have other problems with this app. I already tried to change the settings in both applications, but I can't get as sharp pictures as before. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Happens to me too, guess its because of GPE. Tried a 4.4 sense rom (on insertcoin you can choose to install the AOSP camera) and well, guess what happened? on both cameras (sense / AOSP) the quality is way better. Thats why i propably go to a sense rom. I dont really care about the GPE features (well, whats the most important? ART? the new dialer?.. well, art is broken and new dialer.. to be honest, when i call a number i know who i call, i dont need such stuff).
So either MIUI or a 4.4 sense rom is my suggesstion

I really dislike Sense though :/ And I would like to have a ROM with OTA support.

That's normal. That also happened on Stock Sense. And also on other Android devices.
tried both roms, GPE and Sense, and cannot see a difference
Hello guys,
i just looked a video about the htc ones slow motion function. I^ve tried it with the cyanogenmod 11 build in camera, but it crashes when i chose hdr and i cant find the slowmo function, so i`m looking for the htc ones stock camera app. Ive already tried to search it via google but without any results. Are there any possibilitys to install the 4.3 stock Camera on cm 11?
Thanks a lot!

Sorry to disappoint, but this is not possible. The HTC Camera app uses code that is a part of HTC's Sense UI. Without a stock Sense Rom, you cannot install the Sense Camera, which is a shame.
The biggest problem is that the code related to the camera app is not open source, so Devs cannot really use it to port the app to AOSP/CM roms.
Hopefully some genius dev will be able to replicate the function of the required code, and port over the camera, but it is not really a priority for any of them right now.

oh, well, i allready thaught so..
it seems, that the camera app is a vergy good work from htc. As i heard, it comes with the best slowmo quality until now.. what should i do now? are there any better ways then taking the stock rom? I really like the design of 4.4 , but the batterylife decrease slightly. I think i would take a custom rom with sense, so i can delete some stock roms. Is that possible?

I think you meant you would delete/replace some of the stock apps on a rooted Sense rom... Am I correct?
If so, yes. I personally would vouch for ViperOne. The team is super amazing. They have quick, over-the-air updates, and their rom is rock solid stable.To delete apps, you can use Rom Cleaner (just search the XDA forums in the general android development) I can provide links 2morrow when I get back home bcoz my phone doesn't show the XDA search bar lol.
But an even better approach than removing apps yourself is to Use Eragon Rom. I have a link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423492&highlight=eragon
The developer removed the sense launcher and everything, but kept some apps like the camera, gallery, dialer, and sound equalizer. It is pretty smooth, and tbh, the Dev is a nice, helpful guy.
Hope I helped

I do believe Eragon has the HTC gallery app as well. In fact, I am sure, because it supports HTC Zoe, which requires the HTC gallery.
I'm looking to make the switch to aosp. I know that the dialer codes only work on sense roms (#data, #775, #778). How can you get access to these when using an aosp rom? Is an aosp rom that much better than a sense rom?

I was googling this earlier, and there are methods which can enable dialer codes but untested on our phones. Honestly there are hundreds of threads on AOSP and Sense comparisons, but in my opinion, AOSP has better battery life (although sometimes I've heard that Sense has better battery life), Sense has better looks as it has HTC's skin all over it. Last but not all, AOSP ROMs, such as Nocturnal GE are usually always on the latest version of Android.
If you switch to AOSP (I am using LS AOSP Rom). You will lose some of these:
Voicemail Application
Dialer Codes
All Hardware Camera Features (e.g. Burst, Zoe, etc)
Blinkfeed

Of those, can you get back the voicemail and camera funct. back? What, then, really makes aosp better? I have only ever had an HTC phone. The only thing I know is the Sense. If I was to switch to say a samsung or something else, what is really out there for them in terms of roms?

There are Third party Camera apps that will emulate the burst feature. The Voicemail app you can use Google Voice, it has a "Similar" feature.
The deal is, AOSP is a preference some love it, some hate it. I prefer AOSP over Sense, however maybe you like TouchWiz (Samsung's Shell) or *Shudder* the old Moto Blur.
HTC Devices are built around Sense, the hardware is designed to work with it, and only it. This leads us to the closed source drivers that the Camera uses. This is what limits the AOSP's ability to interact with the camera, e.g. Burst and Zoe like functions.
The only way to tell, is to just try a AOSP Rom and decide for yourself. Do a Nandroid backup of your current setup then flash (A Sprint Version, do not flash a GSM/International Version or you will have a bad day) an AOSP Rom. I suggest Liquid Smooth.

KEWL thanx for the fast response. I've been looking around at all of the different ROMs out there. I've been consistently using either BADBOYZ or BADSEED on sense. Looking to just try something different. I have CM on my Nexus 7 wifi, just wasn't sure about putting aosp on a phone. I know I also lose the dialer codes that can be used with sense roms. Is there any way to bring them back to aosp?
One question that I have never asked and could not find anything on. Which rom type has the better signal, aosp or sense?

I know its not a perfect solution but when I use Roms with no epst/dialer code support. I just keep a nandroid of a ROM that does. When I need it its just a nandroid away! Works for me!
