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

im wonderinig the same thing is there an alternative app for video recorer which record at 1080 p
Didn't erosized release a camera mod that supposedly works with CM7?

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.
Sent from my HTC One S using the XDA-Developers app
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.

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.
I want one Jellybean based with amazing battery life and and that I can change the function of the hardware buttons (so I can set the app manager to the menu key and long hold the app manager to open up the app switcher.) I would like one with good battery life (Cyanogenmod so far has been dying on me quick). Thanks.

BAKED BlackBean and AOKP are good roms.
Could you please specify what's buggy about CM10? And are you sure the poor battery life doesn't simply have to do with the large amount of whites in the interface of AOSP in comparison to Sense?
All cm10 based ROMs have the video Recording mic bug. That's the only thing that keeps me from using cm10 based ROMs.
Baked has the best battery life I've seen so far. I've used everything but paranoid android for an extended period of time.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
I used ParanoidAndroid for a while, which is a very nice, smooth running ROM with a good battery life.
As Klin moved to Baked, I followed him and i do not regret Baked is even smoother, nicer and has a better battery life. Simply a great ROM!! :good:
Buggy? CM10 is as stable as any ROM I've ever used. It's been my DD since before it was even officially supported. If you think it's buggy, then the opinions of others really aren't going to sway you, so try them all and pick the one you think as the least "bugs".
Well if this is in comparison to Sense based ROMs, then any jelly bean ROM will feel buggy, as they're all aosp based and all still are wip.

I wouldn't call CM10 "wip", it's called stable now. I assume that means that it's done, basically
Also, even the vanilla Sense rom isn't perfectly stable for me, there are a few annoying bugs, for example getting stuck in airplane mode.
But then again, I haven't got the chance to actually try CM10 yet, so I should probably wait until then before I claim anything

I ended up using 2GB of data for some reason. I looked and wifi disables itself and cannot be renabled unless i reboot. I boot up an app and my screen goes to some static like stuff and then finally boots up the app (which isn't that much of a problem) but the Data issue is really something I would like to fix because I have autoupdate apps on.

I don't know about the mic but what kept me going back from CM to Sense roms is that it would not record videos on 720p or 1080p. It would save them sometimes and when you try to open them, cannot play, and deletes them. Also, the camera focus does not seem to compare to Sense camera, the latter is miles ahead. Seems to be because htc has not released the code for the camera yet.
Gaming seem smoother on CM though, and the interface is smoother/faster than Sense for me. But not being able to use well this great camera is a pity.
Maybe you need to try another baseband? It worked ok for me with the stock from TMOUS 1.53, up to the latest one from OTAs. Also works with the recommended radio from this page: http://ville.giev.de/?page_id=42
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.
As the title says, what's the best rom for the MT4GS? I've been playing around with a lot of roms, but don't seem to really like them. The fact that most roms are all over the place instead of a list also makes it hard to know how many roms there are for the phone.
Anyways, in your opinion, what's the best rom for this phone and why?
Go look in Weekends posts - he's got a huge list of ROMs,sorted by developer, with download links. Also other posts with lots of other useful stuff. As for my preference, I've been running CM9.1 r8 for a couple of months now and it's been fast, reliable with good battery life. Just trying Kornyone's Dec 22 CM10 over the Christmas break. Going well so far!

That is a very subjective thing. What is best for one person may not have features or stability in areas that another person requires. For me, to have everything on the phone work as it is supposed to work, with no weirdness or arcane voodoo incantations necessary to perform a task, requires a stock-based ROM. To date, no ROM other than a stock-based ROM can get everything on the phone to work as it was designed. Some come very close, but there are always little quibbles (the main one being the camera functions). I run Miktouch 0.7, which is based on the last HTC ROM, 1.63.531.2.

Hence the thread title starts with the word "OPINION."
Anyway, I'm definitely a cm10 fan now. Its very stable given the condition this phone was left to us by HTC and its more than I ever hoped for. AOKP JB is also quite solid, but for some reason the notification toggles are just so blah as compared to CM toggles (even in the ICS builds of both ROMs) that I can't get myself to use that rom actively. I thought since AOKP has more tweaks I'd like it but I found that it is unnecessary for me personally.

The new alpha 3 CM10 is definitely the best AOSP rom I've encountered so far for quite some time now. Very few things left that are broken, and I wouldn't consider any of them to be deal breakers. Battery life is very good too, and my God JB is smooth. I didn't think the difference would be so drastic between ICS and JB, but it is. You'll notice it through any transitions and apps opening and closing. It's not as zippy as ICS though. I'd say about 80-90% as fast.
Now that someone figured out the solution to the FC'ing Gallery, I'm now running the Bliss ICS 3.32 ROM from sun_dream. It is a Sense 3.6 ICS ROM that is very smooth, fast, and has excellent battery life as well as killer audio (using Beats and XLoud). From my experience, battery usage is nearly as good as the Miktouch ROM and way better than the CM ROMs. When I was originally using this, the gallery would constantly FC. I just couldn't deal with that. But that has been solved so now giving it another go.
I am not familiar with the 4g slide ROMS. My wife has an unrooted one that I would like to root. it has quirky issues that I would hope to get rid of and most of all gain better battery life. I noticed that there are camera issues. I don't totally understand what the 1080 video issue is but would like a functioning camera and video camera. Basically I am looking to be pointed at the more functional roms out there that will give her better than stock battery life. I have found virtuous being very good in the past and wonder if inquisition is a good bet. Any input would be great. thank you

If battery life is your primary goal, and fully-functional next, then Miktouch 0.7 is what you seek. Alternately, the Bliss 3.32 ICS ROM would work, as well, though it does not do 1080P video recording. 720P works, though. The only ROMs doing 1080P video recording are stock-based like Miktouch. I'm really enjoying this Bliss ROM since it is ICS with Sense 3.6. Very smooth.
MikMik ROMs were always the most stable, in my opinion.
For ICS, Virtuous was nice enough and I heard that Bliss was just a better Virtuous, but JB ROMs, in particular, JellyBAM has been even better than any ICS ROM I've run on this device...

Thanks Fuzi, I figured that from your other posts. And thank you rory for your insight on Bliss.
I rooted and s-off her phone last night and flashed JellyBAM. Wire trick was fun, never had to do that before. I will see how this does with apex launcher and maybe try two of the others you guys suggested, over the weekend. Thanks again for the insight.

It's possible. I just might not have come across them yet. The only problems I've experienced are the virtual keyboard popping up when I click again in a text box (easily solved with the back buttons) and the FCing when attempting to add funny effects to video in Camera JB+. I've heard a bit about the keyboard CAPS and ALT lights, but those are pointless anyway. Everything else I've done has been smooth as butter. What else is there?
Edit: I guess the 1080 camera could be one too, but I'm over that and coming from months on ICS.

I can't believe I'm saying this since Strapped was saying this very same thing to me, but you never know those particulars until you try it on your own device. The only sure bets are the Not Working pieces mentioned in OP. I love this ROM so much better than the Virtuous ICS ROM, but if you're sticking point is the camera, then of course MikTouch is the ROM of choice.
