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.

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
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.
Hi,
I have an HTC Vivid running albinoman887's CM11 4/24/14 nightly, and the 4/26a PA GApps. Everything seems to run smoothly except for the fact that the latest Google Camera update force closes, so I cannot use that app at all to take pictures or shoot video. I haven't yet found a way to revert to the older version so on a side note if someone can point me to that APK I'd be greatly appreciative.
At any rate, other camera apps like A Better Camera and CameraMX do a great job of taking still photos, but neither one will invoke the video recording function. I have updated to the latest nightly of both CM11 and PA GApps, and the reason why I'm on the older versions is because the newer builds caused problems, so I clean flashed back to the older ones.
I downloaded a couple of diagnostic apps and neither one seems to indicate the presence of video recording function. I don't know if that's normal for those apps or if there's some damaged hardware involved. I don't want to go all the way back to stock to test that theory, so if anyone has had any similar problems or has some insight to offer, I'd really appreciate it. The lack of video recording is not a backbreaker for me, but it's one of those minor annoyances that I absolutely hate - kind of like a wart. TIA for any help you can offer.

Yeah, I had the same problem with video on the older nightlies. I am now on 5/7 build and video works great using any of several different cameras.
Anyone want to test and see if this works? https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-ported/

Tested on RR 5.8.4 and It takes same photos or worse than Nubia camera...
Enviado desde mi NX563J mediante Tapatalk
Only one thing that Google camera better: Video stabilization
So there is a actual video stabilisation with this camera? Is the quality worse than Nubia/RR camera?
Only slowmo doesn't work
Good Camera because it has Video Stabilisation and the Slowmotion does work !!! You must change the Video Quality to HD 720p and Slowmo to 120 FPS ! It works !!!
Better camera que Nubia camera.

Hi, the phone has to be routed?
It doesn't work in my UI v 5.0
Thanks
The Google Camera porting developer like arnova can work much better just for this device to work on.
But unfortunately, stop developing the camera, not even the development of special rom.

I can confirm that all the ports of Arnova's work fine (even the slow motion function) but the Bokeh function does not work, the app crashes while processing the photo. I've tried different versions of Arnova's and they all have the same bug. I'm using the Mokee 8.1 firmware
I did not say that the camera is not working. There is no improvement for this device. You are only running the cameras which are ports for various devices. This is not a development.
I also can not understand why it's such a good idea to be so far behind custom rom. This device is much more than the xioami mi6 in design and design.
But in terms of development, it is so bad. I have difficulty understanding that the developers have not attracted attention.
Camera attempt
Android is Nubian ui's Android 8..1
Can be used but there is a case of down frequency. There are waves on the screen. The video has a serious impact. No problem taking pictures: (
+_+
For your information;
On my Z17 (NX563J) i found that Arnova's 7.9.9 gcam works great
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/...f/GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7.9.9.apk
Newer versions don't work, or crash, or don't have all the features.
Z17 (NX563J)
Treble v1.0 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nubia-z17/development/nx595j-t3837433)
HavocOS (8.1) (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ha...oc-arm64_aonly_vanilla_nosu-0819.zip/download)
OpenGapps
no Magisk or other SU
works great on my phone
Z17 (NX563J)
Rom：official developer edition (6.18.10.19), based on oero 8.1
No root needed, install microG Services Core only.
Arnova's v8.3b1 works, with google photo (no backup to google as I don't use offical google framework).
Slow motion works, portrait mode works.

Works on oreo. But I like another one for 23 mp. https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_5.1.018_by_SerJo87_1.6RC2_test4d_fixed-Fu24-6.apk
Also have 6.1 with working 23mp. and long exposure but it is buggy.

I don't know any gcam that has working slo mo for z17 (no matter 120 or 240)
I definitely know that snapdragon camera and hedgecamera work with 240 slomo even with hevc.
But problem is that I can't modify vendor (tried on los 15), inserting libs with magisk leads to bugs that system sees 120 and 240 at the same time and uses none of them (I checked through logs).
So locked vendor prevents me from using treble along with not so good working camera (no slomo, no portrait, [email protected] eis not so good as stock one). These problems can probably be solved through vendor modding but no...
I like los 15 for its battery life, performance (it is faster than stock), no bloatware, aux camera exposed for every app that can use it without build.prop whitelisting.

@aljoscha81
Is mokee battery friendly? Does it have aux camera exposed by default?
Hello friends from XDA, i bought a LeEco Le S3 x522 version and im currently waiting for it, but reading the custom rom section, i noticed the fact that you cannot record on 4K or take photos greater than 12Mp with any Nougat custom rom, to sum up, i want that you post some photos taken using the Footej camera app on 12Mp and the same photo but using the stock camera at 16Mp, im specially interested on close-ups or macro photography, and based on that i will decide neither to stick to EUI or change to Nougat.
I dont mind to lose some pixels(at least until a fix appears) if i can focus properly, even if its only at 12Mp
Thanks in advance for helping and i hope to see your photos and also i will upload my own once it arrives!
I will be receiving the phone this monday, will share some pictures, im so glad with the support to my thread.

If you want to stay on a google security level from before a thousand years, please use eui... and have a little better stock cam concerning low light pictures.
If you want custom and good camera options, choose Los13. Open Camera is best if you care about settings and footej is best for out of the box use. I don' t like stock snapdragon there. If I zoom into pictures they seem to be not so sharp.
If you like half the cores of your cpu going to sleep all the time if you are unrooted you can choose any nougat rom and use footej camera which makes very good pictures also without 4k, which is the ONLY stable camera app there. Users and developers here like to tell that camera is completely stable after almost every release of Los 14, but that was never true four times I tried a nougat rom (last time three weeks ago), maybe it was true for footej, but I need open camera at least.
People also liked small eui in the past, I didn't read the thread for while, maybe this can be s.th. for you too.
Also I would like to tell you that people here like to answer your threads if you have a real and new problem.... and not really for fun discussions or what this should be, so don't bother
Unfortunately if you want stable you will need to use stock EUI. The camera has been screwed up on Lineage based roms forever and there is no real fix for this yet.

Nope
bootloader 19s + Los13 + overload kernel v2.0 = no problems

Can you actually record 4k video 100% of the time? Do your camera apps launch perfectly everytime and the flashlight works no problem? I've tried so many combinations of kernels and roms I give up on lineage. The camera issue and half the cores not working are not worth the headache.
