CM9 Camera not work fine, but the rom is RC?, another way to use other camera app

Hi!
I have one question.
I tested CyanogenMOD 9 RC1 by maclaw ROM, but the camera app still not totally works.
I tried with others camera apps and this apps gave crash error.
Exist another way to can to use the camera with more functions??
I guess the RC version is a near final version is a release candidate, so I think that the camera should work a little better, or otherwise should still be in Beta.
Exist another way to use a camera with apps like instagram, hdr camera etc??
Sorry for my english.
Greetings
Well..
The camera works only for taking pictures.
Without them open max drivers, we can't get video recording.
I was browsing the forums. and there are a number of ics roms for other devices.
They don't have video camera but they are RC.
Try any fingersoft camera app, i've heard they work.
same here. camera not work at all i try install other camera apps, still not work

[Q] [REQUEST] Stock/Modded Camera.app apk for Gingerbread 2.3.6

I would like to request someone to please post the stock/modded camera app for Android version 2.3.6 Gingerbread that is compatible with AbyssNote Kernal ver. 4.2 Final please. The current one I have has issues with focusing while in video capture mode. The camera wont focus whether recording or not. In still captures, though, manual and autofocus works just fine. I tried seaching around for compatible ones, but the ones I come across are for different android versions or for different Samsung phones, which result in screwed up camera UI.
Alternatively, if anyone can guide me to fixing the focusing issue, that would also be great!
(Unless it so happens that the Galaxy Note's stock camera app doesn't support video focusing at all, which would suck big time.)
Thanks.

Camera stock versus custom rom

Hi there,
I read several times that the vendor camera apps of android devices would be much better than 3rd party camera apps. The original camera apps usually don't run on custom roms.
Those who have compared the camera apps: Is it true for this device that Samsung's camera app takes better pictures and videos or don't you see any difference? What about focus times (i.e. the time needed to take a picture)?
Best regards!
Both in left side are taken by MagmaNX rom, and both in right side are taken by S7e darklord rom, i didn't see which best
..
AOSP ROMs tend to have worse camera quality than TouchWiz based ROMs. This is because Samsung made their camera APIs closed sourced, which means that AOSP has to use worse APIs
It's the software processing that makes a difference. The camera hardware remains the same on any ROM.
There are some camera apps that use their own software processing. Don't ask me the names, cause I don't remember them.
I have a Samsung s4 i9506 . I want up date android 6.0 please help me
I can't say I've tried all cameras, but my opinion is that stock camera is faster and better than most. Stock camera would be even better if it had more settings, it is lacking a bit there.
I also use Camera FV-5, Open Camera, A Better Camera, ProCapture, CameraPro, I have used them for years but most of the time I just want to snap a good photo fast and stock camera delivers. Better for video as well, with working pause and snapshot.
At the moment I'm running 5.01 with Note 3 camera (4K video and 60fps at 1920x1080), but I'm thinking of trying some custom touchwiz based marshmallow ROM again. Could not get 60pfs @ 1920x1080 to work with any of the Lineage OS based Nougat ROMs I've tried. (I think 4K video worked though, with 3rd party camera). If I could get 60pfs video recording working I'd switch to crdroid or something else immediately even if I lost stock camera.

Do you know any touchwiz based marshmallow rom that works without problems?
I only found this one, but it says NFC would not work:

I still find 5.0.1 runs smoother than any 6.0.1 ROM I tried... tried a couple of S7 Edge, Note 7 etc. ported ROMs... but 5.0.1 (Jumbo ROM) is very smooth for me. Also nice that the Note 3 camera (4k and 1080p60) works flawlessly on it

After reading your post I decided after months of testing newest roms to go back to stock 5.0.1. Camera performance, focus speed, HDR, full HD 60 fps, 4K recording (note 3 mod) everything with this camera is so much better. So I was searching for solution and found it. You can use stock lollipop camera and have latest custom rom installed separetly.
Solution is in dual rom boot that i9506 supports https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447534 . So I installed DeHAWK 5.0.1 slim rom, and removed all apps that could be removed. I only want this rom to be used as camera rom only. My idea was to boot it as fast as passible. As a second rom I installed LineageOS 14.1. So I get the latest and gratest features of android os, and I can use samsung original camera app whenewer I want.
Only problem with this approach is that you need to restart os every time you want to use samsung camera which takes 50 seconds. It's not such a big dealbreaker if you cant live withoit it. It takes 20 seconds to shut down Lineage rom and 30 to boot DeHAWK rom. If someone has idea of speeding up shutdown or boot that would be great.
Other benefits, Samsung camera and gallery loads super fast. No delays. It must be because rom is clean with nothing to slow it down.
Few days ago, I had the opportunity to compare two S4s side by side, one with LOS official and one with stock rom. Gosh, the difference is dramatic
The pictures of the stock camera are much much better.
@tforgo: Thanks for your idea with dual boot. However, I need the camera instantly and cannot wait 50 seconds. But it is a good solution for people that have time taking pictures.

Best camera with Lineage/crDroid

What do you guys consider to be the best camera with Lineage/crDroid?
I've got the stock camera, open camera and ZGCam, but they all have their issues (ZGCam is very slow and won't open in selfie mode, for example).
Is there a way to get the Note 9 Samsung Stock camera on somehow?
