[Q] Best Camera for AOSP ROMs? - Verizon LG G2

As we all know, the AOSP camera and even the Google Camera take horrible pictures on the LG G2 running CM11. I was wanting to hear opinions on what people are finding to be the best solution for a better camera on AOSP ROMs, whether it be the stock LG G2 camera in some form or something else. I've seen a lot of apk's and zip's floating around in the past with mixed reviews. This solution seems to have current active users:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540030
Just wanted to hear people's test results with various solutions. Much appreciated!

The camera is the only thing holding me back from AOSP. I can't do without xdabbeb camera mod.

I'd love to see something similar on AOSP. His camera mod is that good that it's become a deal breaker for me. I won't use any ROM that doesn't support xdabbeb's camera mod. I'm currently using his ROM. He's got the mod baked right into the ROM. I do miss that AOSP goodness though. What do you recommend for a really stable ROM? I may set one up and make a Nandroid so I can switch back and forth. My biggest pet peeve about Stock ROMS is the lack of Quick Unlock. It's the little things, haha.

Haha yeah I have to say that the LG ROM's lockscreen drove me up a wall very quickly, and the CM11 lockscreen options have been a huge relief. It's such a shame you kinda have to choose between a stellar camera and the buttery smoothness of AOSP. LG's whole UI is like nails on a chalkboard for me. No matter how much I tried to cover it up with launchers, Google Keyboard, lockscreen customization, etc. it always seemed to be like putting lipstick on a pig.
That being said, I recently updated my CM11 nightlies from 4/11 to 5/10 and the stability difference is night and day. 4/11 had several SoDs per day among other random hickups. 5/10 has been steady as a rock. I should also note that I initially flashed 5/11, and the incallui process just would just crash so that was a bit of an issue to say the least, but 5/10 has been great. I'm fairly certain these nightlies require the 12b radios though so just be mindful of that if you've updated to the 24a radios.
I've also read great things about the stability of JackpotCalvin's CM11 based on the 4.4.2 OTA over here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702958
But the flashing process is pretty intense, so I think I'll just wait until CM officially releases a build based on the 4.4.2 OTA.
Let me know if you end up trying any of the CM11 ROMs!

Obsidian beta released

Here it is, but be careful it doesn'tplay nice with Koush's Bootstrap Recovery.
Camera, video and GPS don't work.
Have fun!
Sorry can't make this a hot link:

Doesn't just not play nice with Bootstrap - Bootstrap can't be used at all! If you want to get into Clockwork you have to do it from the power menu it seems. I'm going to let the rom hackers play with this for a while, see if they can fix the issues before I jump in.

How come every other ROM has the GPS, Camera, and Camcorder working while this one has been in development the longest and doesn't have them working?

those three things are the hardest to get working when making aosp and cm work with android. i saw that in the droid and it happened all the time with the eris. Give it about 2 weeks and the gps should be working and shortly after that the camera will work. that is usually the norm.
Has a camera app from the market been tried yet? we use to use cameramajic for the eris. until the camera was fixed.
This rom is completely compiled and built from source . Its all AOSP at the system level, meaning it is not a blur rom with aosp apps and an aosp theme. Its the real deal aside from the stock moto kernel which could be causing some of the issues with gps etc.

Granted there haven't been any full 100% aosp builds but I think the "trash"comment is a bit harsh. When in fact team defuse, fab, kejar,drod,ultimatedroid, lexusbrian, birdman and so on have given us some good solid alternatives to the stock blur fiasco. We have an encrypted/ locked boot loader with a proprietary UI woven throughout our device. So I think alot of these devs have done an amaving job working around these massive roadblocks. So be grateful or crack the encrypted boot loader.

Apex is still pretty set into Blur. You have to look at Fission, GummyJAR, or other AOSP-like roms to see what you would gain. It's mostly losing the Motorola/Verizon installed junk, freeing up memory and getting a nicer base to install apps on. For example: the Facebook app doesn't let you sync contacts on the stock software on the Droid X/2/2G/Pro because Blur has its own Facebook implementation. AOSP builds let the app do its thing.

Once everything is built so the missing features are working you have basically built up a clean OEM ROM...

And what ROM are you running? I'll bet it's not stock. Putting down all these devs' hard work should be grounds for a permanent ban from xda account of your total lack of appreciation for the countless hours of work put into the GREAT ROMS that have been made with what they have been given to work with.

The thing about custom ROMs...

I've flashed a few custom ROMs + Kernels on my Nexus 7, but I always return to stock. I find stock JB to just be rock-solid, with great battery life.
I've found that most custom ROMs have some tiny issues, and they always bug me. Same with custom kernels. There's always an occasional crash here or there, or some unexpected jerkiness.
But I guess it's always a compromise. If you want features/performance, you'll have to live with bugs/lower battery life. But, being a Nexus, we'll get newer, feature-filled versions of Android right away!
So what about you guys? Do you feel that custom ROMs/kernels are lacking that perfection and finesse the stock ROM has? Or is your custom ROM completely stable with absolutely no bugs?
I love the custom ROMS. No complaints from me. I prefer some version of CM...usually AOKP. They are always upgrading it, so there are some small problems with it at times but I really enjoy it too much to complain or go back to stock. Don't get me wrong stock is very smooth with few problems.

I so agree with the above.. Also your opinion is welcome but due note that these developers are doing this as a community effort for FREE.. They improve our devices give us some things Google decided to leave out. Also im not sure you are aware of this or not . But often you will see some of the So called custom rom stuff injected into future GOOGLE STOCK ROMS... Google does watch the development community and use there code from time to time . My guess is alot more then they would tell...

pre-Gingerbread --> custom ROM required

My bootloader isn't even unlocked on my N7 and it's only unlocked on my GN so I can flash updates once OTA or images are posted.
I agree that all the roms are great. My favorite is PA, love that rom. But after a while i just feel like going back to stock. But then its not long before i am back on pa.

I don't like custom Roms on devices that have the latest version of android available. I just root. Adding a custom kernel only makes things unstable.

I agree with the OP on ROMS, I haven't found one "better" than stock yet. Different yes, more/other customizations, yes. But so far not better. Yes, the devs do this for free, and for their own reasons. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't state our preferences. There are kernels that improve the device greatly, running one myself. But I've tried more than half a dozen custom ROMS and none gave me anything that would make me stick with it. Always went back to stock.
Not knocking all the hard work and effort. It's pretty amazing what some of these devs come up with, wish I had the knowledge and skills they have. Might try to pick up some basics, just so I understand more of everything involved with it. But I'm a system guy, not really a software dev.
Keep in mind we are nitpicking, custom features on new code it takes sometime implement them properly. I am rocking stock at the moment with stock recovery just cause Google is moving fast this time of year.
So take any bug with the custom Roms like this, yes it has more features, you may or may not be affected by bugs. If that bothers you then rock stock. Cause once cm hits stable that's when everything usually falls into place.
Just hopefully we can have less people posting silly complaints on in process releases. Go look in the Ubuntu thread, some user is just posting "its slow" or " there is no reason to use this" as if was a final product makes me smh

I haven't used a single ROM in the android development I only used ones from original development.

Used trinity and Francos kernel have had better results with Francos, his is just about an optimised stockish kernel.

Nothing better than pure stock Android on a NEXUS device. Period.
It's different on a non nexus Device due to carrier's skins but on a NEXUS device come on people you know there's nothing better than pure stock.

We shoul be lucky we have so many options for our Nexus 7, Stock ROM is rock stable and smooth , and to add to that we have almost 7-8 different custom ROMS which are also stable each with their own features and 3-4 different kernels to play with
I am flashing different ROM every 4-5 days
Play around people thats what I like about Android - complete control of your device and Nexus - quick latest stock updates and lots of custom development
Agreed, I prefer stock rom, but also I like to root it, and change fonts...

What are the problems with custom ROMs for i9305?

Hello,
I'm about to get the i9305, I basically got that I need to stay with the samsung roms to have a fully working device with no bugs.
Even though I'm not a fan of touchwiz (in fact I prefer stock Android) I could try some ROMs (not based on stock) but I read that they will never work properly due to lack of sources code. What are the things missing or that will never work?
I'm coming from the LG O2X that drove me crazy cause the stock roms sucked sooo much and we (users) had the same problem but custom roms with NVIDIA!
I'm going with this phone cause it's the only one I know that gives me:
- good battery life among latest smartphones
- 2GB of RAM
- REMOVABLE BATTERY
- 42Mbit in 3G
for that price. So maybe I thought that having touchwiz is the price to pay to have these specs at this price.

Well, most of the ROMs for the Galaxy S3 I9300/I9305 are stable. Because the developers make the ROM based on the official update from Samsung. If you want a stock looking ROM, install ROMs based on AOSP like CyanogenMod, AOKP and Paranoid Android. AOSP ROMs are fast because it is light, no bloatware. AOSP ROMs are quite stable though.
Other than ROMs, there is also some custom kernels, Most of them are also stable. To me, I like the Perseus kernel by AndreiLux because it saves my battery life. The highest I have got are about 2 days unplugged with 5 hours of on screen time.

for example, camera quality is worse
If I remove bloatware (if possible) from Sammys ROMS will they be as fast?
No problems with Sammy based ROMs, so don't worry. They are stable and smooth. Use Titanium or other (root) uninstaller to remove bloatware! On benchmark tests, you will get lower results comparing to 4.2.2 ROMs, but you won't noticed that in everyday usage! I am the one who loves CM based ROMs, but some problems with network are good reason for not using them at the moment. :fingers-crossed:
you will notice the difference, AOSP ROMs will be smoother than debloated Sammy ROMs, so the choice is yours
but aosp roms will ever show problems on this phone ;(
yes
are the other phones affected too? like i9300 and Note?
yes
Flashing custom roms has pros and cons no matter what the phone.
I just like flashing new roms

Some AOSP based ROMs have quite a few bugs though, that's keeping me away from them.
Does the LED indicator work on custom roms? Especially CM. I care about notifications mainly.
Everything works like a charm. You can use some free app for more options (I'm using "Light Manager").
I wonder if the recent fixes for the camera released for i9300 will be applied to i9305 as well

[Discussion] Android 4.4 - will we get a stable? (show your opinion)

Hi everyone,
I must say that android 4.4 sounds like a great improvement for us as our device is getting older \=
However, I'm afraid that we may not get a stable rom running this version. I mean' we might get some rom that some how runs it, but still as many roms to our device thease days - they are not stable at all.
So what do you think? will we get it or not?

I'm sorry but I don't think szesco's roms are stable enough. I do appreciate his and contribution of course but since he doesn't have much time and also has many projects simultaneously, it results with poor stability and discontinued projects.
I'm using lacost rom and that one also is very poor like many other. It seems like it's better to use Android 2.3 based roms.

What rom do you use? I think I would define such a rom as stable too.
With lacost rom I'm experiancing every day (and sometimes more the once) situations were an app stops to respond or something and the whole phone get stuck, nothing responses. sometimes I have to wait, sometimes I have no other option but to remove the battery.

You can't compare ROM stability to app stability. I've seen lots of cases where apps just stop responding and that really doesn't have much to do with the ROM being unstable.
With the phone getting stuck from time to time, I experience no such problem or VERY RARELY on each AOSP ROM here. Sometimes, you may lose responsiveness but you can just lock your screen and then unlock it and that will fix it.
4.4 for HTC S2 will be dream coming true especially for phone with low memory.
JB from sezscoz is stable.. But i do find a lag in scrolling or navigating to diff app or setting etc..
Well, 4.4 is basically 4.3 with a couple of changes, and it was also designed to run on 512mb of ram, so if we got 4.3, i dont see a limitation on 4.4
Press "thanks" if I helped you out!

It would be quite different taking into account its 'More' Pure AOSP rather than CM. It does look a bit different and apparently far 'lighter'.

Oh of course, I know. It isn't a specific app, sometimes it's the chrome sometimes whatsapp or Trebuchet launcher sometimes I don't even know what app causes it.
Something with the rom isn't right... the whole phone just stops responding.

Something with the rom isn't right... the whole phone just stops responding.
I had love to use that AOSP rom, any recommendations on a specific one?

I recommend CyanVivoX. Very stable and pretty much no bugs.

CM build are very nice, but battery optimizations are bad.
On Sense roms my phone is working about 3-4 days!
And CM roms kill my IncS battery for 1-2 days

[Rom Review]AOSB

Plain and simple, I'd highly suggest this rom to anyone looking for a new rom. I've always love super roms (roms that mash together features of more than one rom). I've been running it for a couple days now and am loving every second of it. Many parts of this reminds me of PAC rom, but for some reason I'd pick this over PAC anyday, it just has more feeling for some reason.
The Good:
Full LED control. I was so very disappointed in stock android when I saw what the LED can REALLY do (you can pick almost any color under the sun for battery alerts or notifications that you can set up for per app basis)
AOSB in black (EXACTLY the same as PAC in black)
All CM11 features.
You select how many steps there are in the volume control
Good battery life(Can play a lot of games throughout school and it'll be at around 4% when I get home from school)
Slim Recent Apps
Split view(Even though I don't know what you'd use it for on a phone)
Full nav. bar/ring editing support.
The Bad
No Paranoid Android type control of the UI, which I was kind of hoping for, just a type of it through a preinstalled Xposed app
Outdated Xposed and Kernel tweaker, but since their modified they can't be updated from GPlay store. I ended up uninstalling them from system then reinstalled them from GPlay store, but was kind of irritating that they aren't newest versions.
Poor built in kernel. If you want kernel features at all, you'd have to find a good CAF kernel out there (I'm running Chaos Kernel v11.1)
Long hold back to kill app doesn't seem to work
No ability to have the menu button EVER show up unless you manually add it to nav bar, but then the buttons look weird since it makes all the buttons closer and it plain looks weird for it not to stick to the right or left side.
Doesn't get very dark(I also noticed this in stock, but was hoping that there was some change here, but no luck)
Google Camera's HDR+ makes the app crash (Google camera also doesn't automatically install over built in camera app)
All in all I love this rom, but it is a little rough around the edges. NOTE: I don't know if it's just me or what, but I had problems with supersu, but I'm not sure if it was the rom or me just accidentally messing up stuff
This convinced me to keep the stock version No bugs at all, and all the features that it containes are working.

I come from HTC and decided to get my N5 specifically to avoid bootloader locks and get loads & loads of custom ROMs, after I actually bought it, I completely forgot about that, I haven't even rooted my device yet. Stock rom is perfect.
Well if you ever do want to keep stock, but want some features of a custom room, you can always get the gravity box module for xposed, or get multirom so you cab still have your custom rom; just a suggestion

That's what I'm planning to do. Just rooting for extra features, but keeping it stock. The benefits of custom roms are great, but I'm done with bugs and features not functioning as they should.

Last night I decided to switch back to stock. Realized I should have kept it all along.

Not 100%sure myself, the stock ROM just has a nice feel and it was like 2 in the morning.

The rom sounds pretty good, I might give it a try in Multirom later.
