[Q] improving video quality

Just wondering if there is a way of improving the overall video quality and perhaps getting 30fps from the Samsung Galaxy 3 I5801 camera?
Is it improved at all once a custom rom is installed?
Thanks..
Dom.

Hi thanks for the reply!
I dont suppose anybody knows how easy this is or what rom exactly increases the quality?
There is not much point in having 15 fps ;-)
As its a 3.2 mega pixel camera you would think its would be capable of pretty decent video..

hey , try "lgcamerapro" lol XD

Nice one thanks it looks good! So improved camera quality for the apollo woul not be native in any rom?
If its a matter of using an app then a custom rom would not be needed.
I just don't get why its 15fps in the stock rom with the stock native video app.
Odd..
Thanks for the advice though !

[Q] which rom has the best camera quality?

Hi All,
I need a little help from the community. In the past I've flashed a lot of ROMs for fun, and because I was searching for the best available camera or photo quality.
Unfortunately nowadays I don't have the time for this so I'm a little 'outdated'.
Can you flash-o-holic people here share your latest experience with me regarding to this matter?
Should I still look for sense ROMs?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Why worry? If the camera on the ROM is no good, just download a good one from the App store.

Plus, we all have the same sensor (very poor) so it isn't much a matter of app, but how good are you in setting the right parameters into the app.

Sure we have but I noticed differences in quality even with 3rd party apps. Sense ROMs IMHO always have better quality than e.g. CM ROMs and I just wanted know if this tendency changed or not.

sense 3.5 roms have worse camera quality than sense 3.0 or 3.6 roms

LG G3 AOSP Camera quality solution

Hi everybody,
A lot of people buy that model because of camera quality, a lot of us like AOSP based roms. But the camera lost quality because of LG framework issue. I tryed i lot of camera programs, but results are worst. Only the apk LG camera for AOSP (for LG2) get very good quality, and i compared to stock LG G3 camera. But that apk not give any settings, also flash setings on CM12 based roms. I am sure it is big issue for all of us. If simebody can recommend some solution, will be great!

Hi, same for me. I only hope some dev can give it a try and solve this issue... Fix the G2 apk could be a nice start ! At least fix the settungs like you said.
Btw, give a try to resurrection remix rom, cause the camera quality is very nice. I'm on it since the beginnig and recording is so far better than the others, smooth and fast. It's probably between stock LG camera and XCam

i Think its a Driver Problem

Camera quality cant be solved yet.I read somewhere that devs are trying to improve but i think that quality wont even get close to stock .
Hope for the best

Jishnu's Camera f40
Jishnu's Camera f40 give perfect quality, i compared to stock LG Camera on stock firmware, and no difinerenses. But settings works not properly. And problem with size of camera monitoring on display, but size of pictures are right. I tryed on Resurrection Lollipop v5.2.5 and 5.0.2 Euphoria-OS 1.0. I think some little tuning of mod and we can get best present to ney year.

i remember his work for G2. i hope someone could pick this up where he leaved!
i think many of us would honor this and donate for a aosp quality cam solution!

Jishnu's Camera the MOD for the Stock anyone has some news about it? for the Lollipop

Maybe it's possible to port the LG framework to aosp or just the libs it require to make the camera works. I remember the folks at miui used to make a ton based on the stock one so all the things works fine. So if we could make a port of cm inside the stock or the other we could make it work.

I am also thought about that. I hope one of developers will give us good solution. I am sure a lot of us will donate for that issue.

This wouldn't work for me. It mounts and installed into /system/app, but I noticed in Illusion, that folder is filled with folders, unlike in older versions of android. I also tried manually installing the APK into the same folder as the original camera app, removing it and correcting permissions, but no go.

Doesn't work, install is all wrong.

Interesting to see how/if this develops...

He's porting badly G2 camera, that someone else has already done..

You have to flash it through recovery. That works, but it's not otimized for the QHD screen yet, and it only registers as 8 megapixels

That didn't work for me. It simply installs the apk into /system/app, unlike any other application in there. Might just be the ROM I'm on.

[BOUNTY] Port MIUI camera to CM 12.1/13 rom

I dont know about you guys but I belive the MIUI camera is excellent, it has fast shutter speed and image processing. I have tried a lot of camera apps when I was on CM rom and none of them could match it.
Other members are welcome to donate (I will update the post) and to start of I will be putting $10 in the bounty for anyone who can port the MIUI camera to CM.

There are another options, as the OPO cam that has been ported to many devices, or the Cyanogen Camera, that it's which I have been using till now. That last is very good, it has many options to configure, including HDR and Slow-Mo video recording in HD. It's in another thread of xda.

I flashed the one from here (ver 5.8 ) and its working great, with very good picture quality (i would say its like stock miui camera, only some options dont work). What i find very cool is the "moving people" Option. It realy takes clear pictures, even if someone is moving fast (good when you have a little child, which never stands still ). With this Option i get shuttertimes faster than 1/300 sec.
I only miss the HDR PRO Option from miui camera.
Thanks @ekkilm for the tip and the link in your forum on your Website

Thanks, I was on 3.6 and thought I'll try 5.8 and I can confirm the shutter speed is definitely faster than 3.6 so I'm happy with that. Which rom you on now?
After a few tests, indoor at lowlight, miui takes clearer photos I.e. better focused.
I'll try this when I try cm at some point but I'm still hoping for a miui camera port.

I'm on TS Cm12.1, but I'm going to flash their CM13 now

Can somebody port Xperia Z4 camera?

I would also donate 20$ via Paypal for the port.
It's not about the handling/design of the MIUI camera app. It's more about the (probably closed-source) libraries to use all features of the Sony camera/lense and to get the best picture quality.

Try the oppo camera: it is the best. Dont forget install plugins. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/port-coloros-camera-cm11s-t3030369

thanks for recommendation
for me it's far better than MIUI or lenovo super camera, as it doesn't use so aggressive noise reduction which is especially visible at higher ISO levels - for me, MIUI camera smears away way too much detail.
also, the shutter speed seems very good
_________
EDIT: a bug found!
after you run oppo camera, all camera apps use only warmer flash, the colder one stays off, some camera apps don't enable the flashlight at all (even if you force the flash) - like CameraMX. only the system torch works properly
can't tell what's the reason, but as soon as you uninstall the oppo camera app, both leds return to normal work

The Cyanogen Camera does seem to work very well. Thank you for pointing me there. Shutter sound can not be disabled, but that can be fixed.
How did you manage to get slow-motion working?
Will try Opo Cam as well.

Maybe you could point us in a direction where we can get the plugins? They have been taken down due to DMCA claim.

Opo cam is not that good. some plugins crash the app, overall it is not as good as Cyanogen Camera imo. Are there any other good alternatives?
And yes, would be nice if miui cam got ported.

Full Potential
I was looking through some files from the EU weekly ROM and found some interesting files. As you can see in the image there is files in system/vendor/lib such as imx258_HFR_120. HFR stands for high frame rate and 120 suggests 120fps recording while the stock camera app for me seems to record at about 49 fps at 720p. The specifications of the camera sensor found here: http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/IS/sensor1/img/products/ProductBrief_IMX258_20151015.pdf say the sensor is capable of 1080p at 60fps. Can someone please try unlock the full potential of our camera?

Isn't it used for the slow motion? The full HD is indeed consistent at 29-30 fps and 4K videos are nearly half of it, not sure about 720p though.

That's what I mean, I only get 49fps at slow motion and other camera apps can't record at higher than 30fps.

i'm using cm and i miss a feature from my previous smiui.
in smiui i could take pics while pressing volume down.
i like to take a quick photo without wasting time.
i looked around and just found those spy stuff things but nothing like the miui feature.
would it be possible to port this with the original camera ?
i would also donate some money (10€ or more) for a port of these features.

Camera on Lineage OS

Hi guys. I have just flashed Lineage OS but as you all know you the camera quality is not rly good. Cand you tell me any workaround so you can take better pictures?

The quality of photos on the line or cm was always worse in the case of roms from any phone I used.

Hey Andreicomann,
The general recommendations are
Portet Gcam (look at the apps/mods section) - very good pictures, little bit unstable
Footej (playstore) - not as good as gcam but stable.
Unfortunately you have to deal with alternatives because with Los we can't reach the same quality like on TW.
But this has discussed many times in the Los thread.
I hope this helped you.
Have fun with the Best Rom out there
