AOSP camera - how is it compared to TouchWiz camera software? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

been looking into trying either AOKP or Paranoid Android.. could you fine folks please tell me how the AOSP camera compares to the TouchWiz cam? i've heard that the AOSP cam is nowhere near as good as the TW cam software. what features aren't in the AOSP one? thanks!

My dad and I took side by side pictures of that exact same thing and the pictures looked exactly the same.

good to know. as far as features though.. like burst shot, panorama, take a photo while in video, save to external SD... are all those in AOSP as well? thanks!

This is the only time I will EVER say something from touchwiz is better. AOSP camera does not have near as many features as the touchwiz counterpart. Don't get me wrong it can still take normal shots just fine but everything else touchwiz has the edge.

Again nothing special, just a few quick pictures.

Since you guys know I love showing you food here's a close up sample with both the back camera and front camera.

Is there any way to get the TW camera to work on AOSP roms? I tried just copying the apk into /system/app to no avail.

The AOSP mod adds burst mode, external SD storage, better mp management etc. With that added I've experienced no disadvantage.

is there "Night" mode and ability to take photos while in video?

Off the top of my head the only feature I miss is being able to say cheese to take a picture, can't really think of any other notable features.

im curious so ill download but is there anything special about this rom? such as speed or stability? i see it looks like miui but it's not which is good because i dont like miui.
Small Advice - I'd tell if anything isn't working in the ROM (like bluetooth or something) for those wanting to try it so they know ahead of time and it keeps thread posts down.

must say it is pretty fast stable
an the rom comes up with a noti if there is any updates fore home or battbooster or somthing like that
Almost there...
Screenshots are always nice and appreciated but it's a bit overkill all in a big column with neither info about the ROM nor any links to tell us about it, except for the d/l link of course.
Would definitely be interested in giving this a shot...just clean up your presentation before, well, presenting.

flashed an half hour ago. I'm testing...
first not working: clock. it crashes when you open the clock app
first impressions: is very fast, I haven't noticed any lag or freeze...
basically is like to have a...go launcher os! is very colorful...
the ui is just classic...nice toggles and widgets, VERY NICE the phone app that includes dialer, contacts and messages, is the first time I see messages integrated on the contacts app and I like it very much...
there is a "profile manager" that allows you to control easily connections, like a power saver/connection switcher. very very nice.
good launcher (classic), good lockscreen, good notifications popup.
so, don't expect a new os, or things like that...is android ics, just themed with some new feature...nothing too much special, but I appreciated the very good work.

Nice rom with a nice potential but...
It looks very nice and seems to have been worked on well. Still a lot of things need to be adressed.
For me one of the things was the alarms program which didnt start at all.
That meant that also the Calendar was the AOSP one and not the DX
Weather widget in the clock does not work with EU cities, only with chinese ones as far as i could see. To me this is a major spoil. If you make a launcher and want to penetrate EU or US markets, the least you can do is use a weather widget where major world cities are available.
I returned to recovery and flashed back my nandroid backup.
Will try this another time and another version.
Nice job

My guess is that people who use these roms like IOS, but because of their carriers limited phone selection, or their economic status, cannot afford to buy a crapple device, therefore get a cheaper android phone and do their best to make it look like IOS, but yeah, to each their own.

New Official Google Camera

So just in case not everyone follows The Droid Life, I thought I'd post the new Camera App since photography quality seems to be one of biggest aspects of the phone people chase.
Let's see how it stacks against our Generous Dev's Xdabbed's and Jishnu's modified camera apps that they have done wonders with. I don't know if it'll be of any use to us since they've been pushing the stock app to the max, but maybe it's worth giving a try for UI experience.
You need to be on Android 4.4+
Google Cam APK
Here's the DL overview of it. Tour
I myself don't think it will compare with the quality and feature's Xdabbed has packed into his but new stock options are always nice.
Update: Ok so I've done my first comparison. Both at 13MP, Med/Low Lighting, and forced flash with a steady arm.

Google Cam:
Compare Photos Link
Strange, but to me the google cam looks a alot sharper quality as per the rug and cat fur. The colors also look deeper i.e. the pink leopard spots. I'll have to play around more
Update 2: So I believe Google's Cam takes amazing pictures in ideal lighting and photo conditions, but Xdab's really strives at being a more versatile photo taker when it comes to other conditions such as low light.
Yeah, I saw this on D-L also. So far I am very impressed and happy to have Photo-sphere back in the arsenal.
One thing I want to try and do is hack the app to either add a 10Mwide [16:9] option or change the parameters on the 7.7M option to be the 10Mwide format that is available on the stock LG camera. Which is the one i use the most and allows for the full screen view w/ semi-transparent shutter button.
played around for a while. could not get photo sphere to work correctly. blur effect is good. images to me don't appear to be any better than lg stock camera app. certainly not many filters/effects etc. thanks for the download thought.

this is awesome. i love the blur effect. kinda like the M8 instead of having 2 camersa you raise the camera a bit and it takes another shot to create the depth of field effect.GENIUS!
I'm gonna play around with this a little more, but I actually think this might be a little sharper than X's mod.

The Google cam does look more contrast-y in the comparison pics.
Photosphere worked fine for me. LG gallery displays 3d panorama ok but Google gallery is better.

In some phones the capture button is transparent. Why in the g2 is not and how can I get it to be transparent? I have cm11 with gapps but the camera app in the play store didn't let me update but install.
This new google cam it is not so good in low light scenes...
Let's try to take some pics in dark scenes, you can notice that it is not able to focus using the flash led while stock/modded lg cam yes.
i dont like how small the pictures come out.
I love it, nice for custom roms!
Its really just meant for being simple and taking quick shots without cumbersome load times for instance like the HDR mode is super quick. I'm sure with more app updates on the way this camera app will have good potential
Low light shot.. first is x's camera, second is Google.
In low light x wins

Strange isn't it! You'd assume it's the same apk coming from Google Play, so must be something to do with the phone itself.
The GPE M8 is still HTC framework underneath right... just missing Sense and a few other HTC bells and whistles?

Yep and the black edges are very bothering
Gesendet von meinem HTC One M8 Google Play Edition
Installed on an M7 running an M8 Sense 6 port (InsertCoin) and there's no black edges - the viewfinder is the full screen and the shutter area is semi transparent. I like the fact that when you switch to video mode and you're in portrait view there's a constant icon telling you to rotate the camera (which does go away if you start recording). Google finally trying to kill off portrait videos - good for them! haha
IMO, the Google Camera App does produce a greenish tint on the M8, at least in the refocus mode after you refocused a little and let it render.
Already set the quality to high quality, but well, tinting is still there. Its not really heavy tinting, but enough to annoy me.
Normal photo mode seems fine so far, even tho it doesnt produce as good colors as the htc camera app.
Nevertheless, the new refocus tech is pretty logical and on still elements pretty powerful. I cant see it really useful for quick snaps or faster moving objects since it requires careful and steady movements.
Really hope that HTC improves the stock HTC camera app to let us adjust blur levels with increased accuracy on the captured image itself. the fail rate on ufocus sadly is pretty high still.
EDIT: I attached 2 images to show the green tint. First one is the shot right after i took it. second one is after refocusing. as you can see, there is a significant tint after processing. I even have the impression the processed image is now lower quality than before.

I'm testing this variant from xda which is more recent and far easier to use and configure !
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/GCam5.1.016-Arnova8G2-V1.3.apk
I'll let you find which picture is from which camera app, it's not fun otherwise :victory:
It's either HTC or Google Camera Mod

Really difficult... Can´t see much difference. Guess in low light this scene could showing more advantages of HDR+ EDIT: Could you post some low light pictures, please?

Thank you for the link and all the info about the Modded GCam.
It really seems to make better pictures, but have to test more. So far I saw, it is pushing up the ISO but without making the pic more blurry.
One thing bugs me a bit though.
There is no option to save pics automatically on the SD-Card. Another thing I saw is, that the front Cam uses only 4MP even though there is a 16MP built in my HTC U11 Life, but as I'm out of the "Can't resist selfify me in every moment" age, I can really live with that [emoji3]

That's because there is no sdcard in any Nexus or Pixel phone.

Ok, wasn't aware of the No-SD Card thing. Thanks.
Have tested a bit more and all of a sudden pics get way too dark.
I have to do some further testing.

Thank you.
Well, If it is designed for Pixel Phones, there will be no option for saving to SD Card.
Could be worse.
