[Resolved] Wanting old Sensation 1080p camera back. - General Questions and Answers

So here's my issue: I have an HTC Sensation 4g (brilliant phone) which is rooted, and custom rom'd with CyanogenMod 9, the Nightly build. I have the latest version installed, and I love everything about it. I have one small issue though. I really miss the old camera from the Sense Rom. Is there any way to get the old camera back? Or is there a camera I can download that will basically replace it?
I loved taking 1080p photos with my phone, but now I feel like the quality and size of the pictures I take have dropped when I switched to ICS CM9. I read up on some mods to get the old camera back but they claim you need Sense installed on your phone. (Which I believe is a memory waster) I got rid of it to move on, but I wish I brought the camera with me.
Any suggestions?

Hello? Anyone ever try getting the old APK back? Would it work?

Hi,
i use the ROM
RCMix
an you can finde a RAM hack in this thread. So there you'll have the camera as you like und much RAM as you can get
hope this helps ...

This doesn't solve the problem. I want to keep my ROM. Its an amazing one and don't plan on abandoning it.

okay ...
may this helps?
grrr cant post external link so try this:

(no blank)

That IS a better solution, but not the one I want. I want to keep the Rom that I have but get the old camera or the equivalent of it back.
I like Camera360, but it doesn't take video. It takes the same size photos, but it can't record video. Know any apps like C360 that DO record video?

Have you tried a custom rom? ARHD is more stable than stock and it comes with an HQ camera option to take higher quality pics.
You sound like you're running a Sense 4.0 ROM. This has always been a problem with Sense 4, you'll have to live with it if you want to stay on Sense 4.0. Sense 3.6 does not experience this problem, however.
Funny thing i posted this thread then came on the ad for THE HTC ONE WITH 4G and the whole fastshooting thing im like...oh wait thats what my phone looks like..HAHA then i worked out it was probs sense 4 normal photos are really nice, so its not a big deal hopefully a fix comes out eventfully

Miui camcorder problem... help wanted

Hey guys, first off I want to apologize if this is wrong area for this or if this has already been posted, but yes I have looked and haven't found anything about it.... so I have a HTC One S running the latest MIUI.... the problem is, I go to the default camera, switch it over to video recording, and it'll take the video just fine.... problem is when you go to play it or even preview it, it has a ton of lines through it, it's blurry, you see triple of everything, etc....same thing if you plug it into computer and play the vid.n help is greatly appreciated guys!
Are you on the cm9 base or the Sense base? I know the cm9 one was having camera/camcorder problems.

I believe CM9 base? I ran cm9 before and I froze the HTC sense **** lol. Not positive though, I can check if needed but I'll need to know how xD I'm still a little new to messing with Android.
There is no fix for this yet on roms that are not sense based, due to HTC using a special undocumented imaging chip for the camera in one S. If/when it is fixed I guess it'll come to miui quick.

S3 camera recommendations, hyperx, uninstalling native apps

First post here obviously. I got a phone from ebay and bricked it the same day. Sent it in for JTAG. So hopefully it will be okay. It came with CM10. I noticed the burst shot didn't work to well and a few camera features where missing. Of course I fear damaging it again when i get it back. I came to the conclusion it's pretty much pointless to be installing roms. It seems like everyone has some bugs.
I want my phone stocked now, now I want to be able to uninstall native apps, free up some space. My dilemma is I remember reading that CM10 had better picture quality than the stock camera. Not sure if that's true, is it? The CM10 cam didn't have best picture, the burst shot would stutter and skip. I was playing games on it before it got bricked through emulators. Is there any stock processes I should be aware of that would use up CPU and memory usage that can slow down games? Is the CM10 really better than the stock camera? Also, I would love to have the hyperx video recording. Is it possible to install that?
I have the T999 version.

Mytouch 4g slide stock camera?

Does anyone know any newer roms that have the same camera/ camcorder light asjustment settings as stock rom? any newer phone that has the same settings? this phone kicks ass for taking my sons videos and pics. Love this phone but not able to use alot of apps nowa days.
Guess I was a little too elaborate in my other post. To save duplication:

Suitable Cameras for S3 running 5.0 / 5.1+? My thoughts on current options

I have been getting a bit frustrated. I'm not sure if its a CM 12.1 issue, or just a hardware + lollipop issue.
Here is my opinion on cameras that 'work' with the rom, but have issues.
1. Stock CM 12.1 camera. Has known "cannot connect' issue. I believe this ASOP camera is the same as the Google Camera. Each version seems to have small tweaks /settings, but IMHO this camera lacks tons of useful features other stock cameras have. These are useful if all you care about is point and shoot, versus filters, scenes, etc.. I am lumping Google Camera in this, even though the icons are different.
2. OpenCamera. This is the one I am currently using, and seems to be stable for me, and I am running Nightly 12.1 July 15 nightly with DKP kernel (tweaked) and july 13 GAPPS. My only gripe is I still feel like the quality of the pics isn't what you get with stock, but also the delay between pics is annoying, as opposed to Google Camera which gives you pretty instantaneous snaps. Even with the thumbnail animation disabled, there is a 1/2 - 1 sec delay between pics.
3. Someone recommended the HTC Camera. I was able to find a series of APK versions from googling, and this camera had really good promise. You did need the HTC Gallery for it to work, BUT..and this was the deal breaker, the front camera broke for me. The front camera only worked, for a short time, with the most recent HTC Camera version...but would eventually freeze, and couldn't even force close. A reboot was required. Very annoying.
It would be awesome if we could flash another stock camera app in this, like the S4, S5, S6, etc.
Any other recommendations besides apps from the Play Store?

It was in the KK builds also but some of the ROMs in KK had fully functioning camera but it went crap again with CM12.
I installed the FL-5 Camera and Cinema apps, paid for both. So far I am enjoying them and feel the quality and speed is great.
Camera 360 works suitably well. Solid filters and features if bloated. Its a veteran app and has seen its worst days long behind them. The magic skin filter is the best on android. Black is the color of Korean selfie sorcery. You purchase beauty but at what cost? Your soul of course, and an excessive UI.
A better camera is my personal go to.

Be weary when flashing or porting camera apk's and firmware.
Basically a few weeks ago I hard bricked my SCH-I535 by flashing the wrong firmware for the camera to try to get it to work. So my only caution to you is the be absolutely sure the firmware of apk is compatible. I tried to port the firmware for the galaxy S5 to the S3 however I think the difference in firmware is what caused the problem. I extracted the S5 firmware for the stock camera app and then zipped it and signed it to be flashed on the S3. Well I knew what I had done when the phone buzzed once and never turned on again. I had an unlocked boot loader running CM 12.1 (if I remember correctly) and had CWM set as my custom recovery.
I wish you luck in your quest to find a working camera app for your S3. I know I wish I still had mine to fiddle with and maybe even downgrade while we wait for a solution to the non-working lollipop camera.
