Hallo guys,
I read on the CM10 dev thread that the camera in that rom isn't as good as the 4.0 Sense stock camera. Can anybody please explain what exactly is the difference between those two camera apps in terms of picture quality, focusing, shutter, velocity and video recording? And why is it not possible to make the camera as good as it is on the stock rom?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
br3ak

First of all, im not a developer but ive noticed that the cm10 camera loses all the sense software like continuous shutter and shooting photos while recording. Moreover, colors seem to have better contrast and saturation with sense. Can anyone else confirm this?

I think the sense cam makes really good pictures. I use it for snapshots in holidays aswell. I don't wanna miss the good cam, That's why I hesitate to switch to CM10.

Yeah it's great and if you dont wanna lose the cam it may be best to stay on sense till we get the official jb update

I'm no developer too, so i could be wrong.
But as far as i know, this phone has a dedicated chip called 'ImageSense' powering the camera.
So far only the Sense camera app is able to fully utilize this chip, and thus having many features which are not available on AOSP rom's camera app.
As for the AOSP roms, the devs are able to get the camera working, but not able to fully utilise the ImageSense chip.
As for porting the Sense camera app to AOSP roms, i think it is close to impossible because of some framework issue which means the sense camera app only can run on sense roms.
Please correct me if im wrong.
From what I remember reading, HTC also didn't supply the drivers to the ImageSense chip, so it couldn't be integrated into AOSP ROMs. Hence, only Sense based ROMs which already have the drivers built in can fully utilise the ImageSense chip.

I just got this phone about a week ago!
So yeah, I'm using OrDroid 8.2 currently, and I'm finding the image quality to be quite.... sub-par. The images always end up noisy and I can't really use the zoom function as it always produces blurry pictures (even when I focus the camera). Apparently, images captured on Sense 4 roms for the HTC Sensation aren't as good when compared to Sense 3.6 roms. Is this true? If so, I'd definitely switch back to ARHD.
If there is an even better rom for camera taking and overall performance, please do recommend as I'm an avid gamer too!
Thanks
Yes. Sense 3.6 with HQ Camera Mod is way better than Sense 4 wit or without HQ camera Mod. Sense 4 camera is more grainy. I like Sense 3.6 better. Just wishing that the Camera could be ported. (Not yet been done).

Hello,
I am using this AOKP ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751134
I love using this ROM, everything about it except for the camera. I don't like the camera at all, so I was wondering if there is any way I can flash the defualt camera app. I love the amazing fast capture option in the camera. Please if there is a way, let me know. I searched for it a while but was not able to find it.
Thanks.

unfortunately, sense camera requires sense framework which aokp obviously does not. in the foreseeable future, i dont think porting sense camera will ever be achievable, even with source.

I noticed that the stock ROM contains the ability to take HDR images but I haven't found a stock ROM that has that same feature. Does anyone know if such an app exists? Thanks
All of the Sense ROMs have the same function...

So lemme get this clear coz I was wondering about this. If I get a non-sense ROM I can get back the camera nicely installed and potentially any other Sense apps I like?

No. Sense ROMs are Sense ROMs. Like the name says. If you get a non-sense ROM, like AOKP or CM, you don't get any Sense apps.

To clarify the above.. The Sense apps don't work without all the behind-the-scenes stuff Sense roms have, including Rosie.
The Sense-based MIUI is a pretty good compromise, in my opinion. Been using it for a bit.. much more stable than the AOSP MIUI

Does it in anyway reduce the quality of the camera to not use a sense-app or will hdr app provide similar quality?

Forgot to mention that the Sense-based MIUI uses the Sense camera with all functions working.
As for other apps.. I've tried four or five different HDR apps and have had the best results with Pro HDR out of the ones I've tried. The Sense app is a close second.. partly because it allows widescreen HDR pics.
And as for quality..I myself haven't noticed much difference in quality with other apps, since it's basically still using the same hardware... I use Camera360 a lot and am not disappointed. I think the advantage of the Sense app is the high burst rate you can get out of it. And the panorama mode is better than almost every other pano app I've tried.. except one (but only because that one app allows 360 degree panoramic)
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
Hey all,
Currently I'm running an HTC Sense device.
I know that the sense camera is awesome to its AOSP counterparts.
Is the GS3 the same way?
I thought Samsung a "more" of a commitment to open source; or is the RLS (type rom) just the best way to go for this device?
Thanks in advance..

I've done a few side-by-sides while flashing back and forth. I can't tell the difference personally. The big difference is the volume in the camcorder app though, it's about 1/2 the volume if recorded using the TW camera.
So you find the camcorder to be lower/quieter via TW than AOSP?
What about phone (ear) and speaker phone volume?
The AOSP camera has a noticeably greater shutter lag and lacks the anti-shake feature which is really helpful.
i have flashed back and forth for a long time and TW camera is just a better camera hands down. Ive tested over and over again and the aosp just doesnt add up. Anyone tried the 4.3 aosp cam yet???

I tried the 4.3 camera and didn't like the lack of settings and photosphere did not work for me on CM10.1.
I personally am not a fan of the touchwiz camera, and have used camera zoom fx for the longest while. I just recently began using the aosp 4.2 camera and have grown to really love it's simplicity and picture quality. Swiping to the right to access the gallery is just awesome. I did test the 4.3 camera and really did not like it. It had a lack of options (though it is a leak) and got fc's when switching from front to back cameras.
With any camera, it's all about knowing is options and layout and making your knowledge of the app work for you. Currently aosp is the clear winner for me.

Not sure on that as I almost never record video, but now I'm curious..
For me at least, the TW camera is why I have not flashed any AOSP based ROM. I just love the TW cam to much. I also use my camera a lot which is why I won't let TW go.
