[Q] Better Camera? - HTC Inspire 4G

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.

Port the camera ?

Is there anyway to port the the original camera from the Samsung captivate to the miui ROM.?
Sent from my I897 using Tapatalk
I miss the touchwiz camera, it's so superior.
To put it simply, no. I would think out had something to do with it being a Samsung thing. One if the biggest problems cm developers had was getting a camera to work. Since MIUI is built off of cm7, you figure it out.
Miui and CM based rom's use the same open source drivers. The default device camera's. Like the Samsung camera and HTC camera will never work as they need the proper device drivers and framework. I heard the MIUI camera is good. Ill never use it my self but you could give it a shot
I use the MIUI camera occasionally, and its not bad, for a 5mp camera with no flash.

[Q] Flashing Amaze Camera

I noticed there was a way to flash the HTC Amaze camera on the Sensation - but the only if you also flash the HTC Stock 3.5 Kernel.....My problem is that I m running CM7 on the sensation, with the Tiamat Kernel - pretty sure the stock kernel is not compatible with an ASOP Rom......I am wondering if there is a work around so that I can use the Amaze Camera with CM7.
No workaround, and there never will. Amaze camera needs Sense. CM isn't Sense.

download the camera mod for CM7 here, and it'll give you a impressive picture quality.

Thanks.....That is what I thought, but I'm still learning so I wanted to ask.....Thank you for the link, I will give the camera a try.

Compare Sense to AOSP Camera Performance

For those who have recently switched from Sense to AOSP (CM10 esp)
can you answer these questions and or post examples
How is the photo quality itself between them?
How is the speed of launching the camera?
How is the speed of the photo taking itself?
How is the close-up photo performance?
Thanks!
I am strict AOSP kinda guy but bought this phone because i loved the hardware. I am now on trickdroid but dreaming of AOSP. I take lots of photos and really leverage the amazing camera on this phone. I can only really switch to AOSP if the camera performance is at least comparable.
Looking forward to the responses, thanks!
All of the items you mentioned are worse in CM. If you ran CM on a previous phone, the camera performance is roughly similar. It is the one and only trade off to dumping Sense, but I feel it's worth it.
I was wondering this..

I'd personally stick with Sense if the camera is an issue for you. The AOSP camera application is no comparison to the Sense camera app. That, and no WiFi Calling are the only reasons I'm on Trickdroid and not CM10.

I agree, this is the main reason I stuck with sense for so long, but I finally switched over to CM.
Max camera resolution is only 5mp, not 8. Camera speed is fast, but not as fast as sense. You can still take pictures during a video, which is nice. But I HATE the AOSP camera. It is ugly, and 1/4 the screen is taken up by a grey box for (apparently) no reason other than to house the shutter button and options. Sense had a great approach by making the camera full screen and only having the buttons without any unnecessary space taken up.
One option would be to try out the MIUI Sense base. Personally I'm not big on MIUI, but it has the sense camera so maybe you'd be interested.
AOSP camera resolution is standard size, so smaller than phone screen, so it couldn't be displayed full screen anyways.

Didn't think about that, thanks. At least there's a reason...but I still don't like it!

Same here, is there a multi boot or dual boot that fits the One s?
Is there a way just to port over the sense camera into your CM rom?

Will never happen.
This is really depressing. I was offered a great deal on these phones and read a little about them and how great the dual core and camera and things were and seen a boatload of development going on here so I jumped on the deal. Now as I am waiting for my One S phones to arrive I am doing a lot of research and all I am reading is major disappointments lol. I thought for sure I would be able to flash AOKP and get rid of sense and all would be fine but then that takes away the best part of this phone. I should have learned my lesson after the Motorola Milestone XT720. What I have learned about phones with locked bootloaders is that the dev's work extra hard and there is always hope on a complete fantastic ROM but the truth of it is it never happens, out of the few years at the XT720 forum there is still not one fully functional, complete ROM, and people are still left hoping. It is really depressing lol. I have a Galaxy Nexus now so I assume my HTC One S with AOKP will be just like the GNex camera and all huh? I suppose after having my GNex I will not like anything to do with Sense and I would hate to flash an AOSP ROM and ruin the camera.

The camera has nothing to do with the locked bootloader. This phone is as good as any top of the line phone available right now and there are many 100% functional ROMs and kernels to choose from. You can flash the Venom ROM and remove nearly all appearance of Sense while keeping the camera. The AOSP camera is perfectly adequate for most needs, it's just not as fast as the stock.

[Q] Alternative to AOSP/CM10 Camera?

The biggest reason for me to keep using the stock ROM on the GS3 is the fact that the camera found on CM10 (The ROM I'm currently running) blows hard.
Is there a decent alternative? I hope there's something, I'm really beginning to miss Sense

I agree. The AOSP camera blows. I wish the stock camera was available for AOSP. I don't have a link but you can search development for the 4.2 camera. It has some cool features and quality is as good as stock for me. Photosphere is neat. Make sure you get the gallery for 4.2 also. Should come as a package. Hope this helps.

Photo quality on LineageOS

Could somebody with the Nougat/Oreo LineageOs build installed some example photos taken by the camera. I'm just really curious about it, cause I heard it's bad or not as good as on the stock rom(yeah of this I'm pretty sure but still) and i cannot find some anywhere
Yea it's cos the TouchWiz ROM has camera frameworks that are built into the ROM and can't be ported to AOSP.
There's some comparisons from the HTC camera port thread which is what most people recommend to use on S7 AOSP ROM's
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/los-aosp-base-temporal-fix-camera-t3574480
Not sure if it'd work but you could try installing the HTC camera while still on TW and compare with the stock camera.

Well I managed to install the HTC camera app. Well I don't see much of a difference when it comes to simple photos, except that light focusing on HTC app does not seem to work. Though I wonder if still HTC camera app is not using the TW framework, is it possible?
Yea wasn't sure if third party apps benefit from the TW camera API or something.
You could always do a full TWRP backup, flash Lineage, and if the camera sucks just restore your backup.
