Best application for your camera

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask you experts what the best application for an alternative camera that records video in 1080p

I use ARHD 4.1.3 with the Amaze camera. It's awesome, but keep in mind that it only works with Sense 3.5 and the stock Android 2.3.5 kernel. Others use the camera mod by ErosizeD or the MIUI camera. Try them all out and see which one you like best.

Yep, Amaze camera is the way to go!

The problem is that I do not think so CyanogenMod is compatible

Correct. As I said in my post above, the Amaze camera only works with Sense 3.5 ROMs and you have to use the stock Android 2.3.5 kernel. Most of the 3.5 ROMs come with a different kernel than stock, so download and flash the proper one after flashing the ROM. There are quite a few Sense 3.5 ROMs out there, so flash away and see what you like. Just remember to ALWAYS DO A BACKUP BEFORE YOU FLASH ANYTHING.

Keep throwing suggestions out there guys. This guy wants something workable that will work on CM7. Let's stop talking about how great the Amaze camera is and how he should stick to Sense because of it, and give him a real suggestion.

Just tried out a bunch of the cameras off the market. Seems like I'm gonna be stuck on Sense for a while lol. Viginette, Camera 360 left an impression, the others were horrible.

First things first. Never once did I say anything even close to "he should stick to Sense because of the Amaze camera." Don't put words in my mouth. He seemed a bit confused about the fact that it only works with Sense, hence why I clarified further.
Second, I mentioned that both ErosizeD and MIUI have cameras if you would have read more carefully. MIUI camera works on CM7, and there is a version of ErosizeD's mod in the works for AOSP ROMs.
Last I checked, those are both "real suggestions."
Just because you don't use Sense, it doesn't mean that nobody does. While you may run CM7 exclusively, other people may be willing to try out different ROMs, including Sense ROMs. Personally, I'm a CyanogenMod guy. I have been since my G1. I'm simply trying out different ROMs and stuff until a stable build is released. The Amaze camera is fantastic. I would even say it's worth flashing a Sense 3.5 ROM to see for yourself.
To the OP: These 3 options are pretty much the only ones out there right now that I know of. If you want more information, search the forums and see what you can come up with.

I did not understand much, there's something that works on cyano

laggy camera CM7.1 Desire S

I did full wipe and flashed the latest CM7.1, I kinda like this rom but my camera is so laggy only when I use paper camera app it works fine, I tried other camera apps they are laggy too, any advice?

any advice

I have the same issue on CM7.1 ROM. When I run camera app the picture is viewed frame-by-frame per 1,2 second instead of stepless.
On the stock HTC ROM camera works excellent.

Does anybody have this issue? Where can I ask support?

Seems like it is a hardware issue with the desire S. HTC seems to have released a new hardware for the camera which isn't supported by the CM7 kernel yet (as of CM 7.1).
So your best option is to find a custom stock-based rom (sense 3.5), with a lot of the sense things removed for now.
Unfortunately we'll have to wait until either HTC releases the drivers (miniscule chance), someone fixes it in CM 7.2, or someone fixes the ICS camera problems.

Are you sure about that? I thought it was because HTC app is more optimized..

Unfortunately the problem isn't fixed in CM7.2 rc1 either... and apparently we're not alone as users of Incredible S are also getting camera lag.
I've done some forum trawling on CM and xda, and it seems that the complaint summary is:
1. Users of CM7-based kernel roms are affected (stock-derived sense roms don't seem to have this problem).
2. The Camera works, but live preview appears to be broken.
3. When you first turn on the camera app, it works for a brief second, then it freezes.
4. Touching the on-screen buttons appears to temporarily fix live preview, but if you let go, it freezes again.
Issue is explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397883
Other users also seem to complain of video playback lag (though I haven't tested this myself...)
So, I'm guessing the problem is a Camera harware vs. driver vs. kernel incompatibility with CM7?
And apparently we can't flash HTC sense-based cameras on CM7...

Mine Works alryt... bit laggy compared to stock sense, But not so bad.

Lucky... apparently users have been complaining that phones after october 2011 seem to be having problems, if you got your DS before then you should be fine.

Sense camera for virtuous quattro?

I'm using virtuous quattro alpha 3, and actually I'm having a surprising lack of bugs with it. I don't use Bluetooth so that doesn't bother me. I get some occasional force closes but that's to be expected in an alpha rom. My major beef is with the camera. The aosp camera is really lame. I hate sense, but the sense camera is truly amazing. If I could get that on this rom, it'll he perfect. Has anyone figured this out? If so, can you walk me through it? If not I would love to try and figure it out with a little help. This aosp camera is pretty bad. I know its in part because its not designed for the hardware but even so, its worse than the gingerbread one I tried on cm7. Any help would be greatly appreciated with this.

As Virtuous Quattro is AOSP and doesn't use the Sense Framework, I believe it'll never work.
Virtuous Inquisition is AOSP look and feel on top of the Sense Frame work, it works there. I use Inquisition as my daily and occassionally pop into Quattro and CM7.

I was on Inquisition but I really like full aosp as senseless has its quirks. I like everything better on quattro except for the camera. Are there any aosp compatible camera mods?

I am using Camera ZOOM FX, it is truly amazing and worth the 5 bucks.

I'll look into it, thanks. Although I may just switch back to senseless ICS. I have always been a fan of AOSP over sense, but the senseless is a good compromise between guaranteed functionality (no major bugs like bluetooth or crappy camera) and the AOSP feel. I have found quattro to have much more battery drain (On Inquisition I could go an entire day and only get down to 40%) and for some reason the notification LED doesn't blink, it stays solidly on for notifications, like it does when it's fully charged. Not sure why it does that but I have read that other people have weird issues with notification LED's on ICS too. So I think I'm going to switch back to senseless ICS for now. Sense I is too bloated and I don't like the Sense look nearly as much as the ICS look. I'll wait until quattro is more stable before making it my daily driver.

Switching to CyanogenMod9

OpenSensation is almost done. Great work Vorbeth an Sc2k. I think im switching to OpenS from virtuous inquisition and im sure im not the only one. No more sense based garbage

Cool, but Sense based roms aren't garbage. Sense can be sometimes, but stripped roms are good work. If video recording is fixed, I'll join you.
EDIT: So HD video recording is there. Jumping ship to CM9. lol.

hey man, you have an htc, sense is just for us, no one can have it...
htc without sense is just another phone, like others...
anyway, aosp is good framework

I totally agree, CM9 is pretty much the best ROM on our phone now

It's pretty awesome, but I do miss the Sense camera. Focusing is much better on it for some reason.

I always switch from going from CM to MIUI in trying to find what it the best ROM. I'm loving the MIUI ICS right now. I do like stock android but MIUI is beautiful and doesn't get in the way. All you have to do is put a launcher of your choice (hate stock MIUI launcher) and you are good to go.

Until the Camera on CM9 is as good as the one on Sense, I'm sticking with Sense. With a custom kernel and some tweaks on Spare Parts, this phone really flies.

Glad to hear it. I've been avoiding CM9 until someone said something along these lines. I'm always on the lookout for an awesome AOSP Rom, so I guess I'll be downloading soon.

Try Hypernonsense. It is a good in between, stripped sense with AOSP theme and it used the sense camera. Closest rom to CM9 and it is a bit snappier IMO.
The only downside is it lost support couple days ago.

What's wrong with the cm9 camera? Works fine for me and now we got 1080p.

Had Sense 2 months on my phone. Phone felt bloated and slow on 2.3.3 and Sense 3.0. Switched to AOSP. CM7 then virtous inq then CM9. Maybe 4.0.3 with Sense 3.6 is better and snapier but had no time to test it. The only thing i like about Sense ROMS is the CAMERA. Better quality! Touch to focus while recording a video! Amazing, but we cant have it all.
I also agree with throcker.

[Q] Better Camera?

The Inspire camera, in my opinion had some of the best phone camera quality I has ever done seen, but when I switched over to cyanogenmod, the camera quality went completely down hill... Is there anyway I can get the sense camera back but keep cyanogenmod?

Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984279 it's good

I actually use my inspire camera for many quality assurance pictures at work. i use the camera app built into my ics rom. but on gingerbread i found camerazoom to be amazing.

I installed the BlackICE rom in an attempt to get better battery life,
and because its based on CyanogenMod it was missing the stock Inspire
camera, it does have MIUI camera but I don't like it as good as the
stock camera, I have Camera Zoom FX, but I just don't like it ether,
I did find one camera app I like, its called LGcamera, but try the
free version first, as some people seem to have problems, but it works
good for me.

I use LeeDroid and I actually like the camera more now than on my stock ROM, I don't use a third party app. Maybe try it and see if it works for you if you haven't already.
