Camera quality depending on Rom ? - HTC One S

Does the camera quality of our phone depend on what Rom we use.
I was on viper 2.0.0 and camera was great even front facing was great too.
But when I switched to trickdroid tmobile version quality went down.
Anyone else?

Camera quality is higher in stock roms 'cause drivers for the special image chip are only for stock. Thats why you see lack of quality comparing aosp rom photos with stock rom photos.

but i thought trickdroid 7.0.0 was based off of tmobile stock rom?

Oh, sorry for that, I dind't read well. Yes, it should have nice quality. Try installing ZeroCamera that is in dev section, and see if it improves camera quality.

Should work on all One S and One X phones that are Sense based.

From what dzo (the recognized camera expert for the HOS) says, there is no difference in quality between shots taken using the stock camera or even AOSP. I have noticed some speed and feature differences in the cameras, but the photos look close to stock for me on AOSP based ROMs.

The difference lies with how the camera app saves and compresses the image, if it applies any filter etc etc.

AOSP vs Sense Picture quality

Has anyone noticed a difference in the quality of pictures taken when using a sense rom compared to an aosp rom (or rather the sense camera vs the aosp camera)? I have yet to analyze them on a computer, but from the gallery there seems to be a difference. Am I just crazy?

You are not crazy. HTC hasn't fully released all source pertaining to camera...that would explain the sub par quality.

So if I want the most out of my camera don't use a AOSP rom?

Yeah I was sure there was something to it. Maybe that imagesense software or the dedicated chip the camera uses. Good to know I'm not losing it

I'd say the camera on aosp is very low quality. Even htc inspire got it better
I dont think you can beat the sense camera, thats the main thing holding me back from using aosp ROMs lol
Would it be possible at all to get the Sense camera working on an AOSP ROM? I've been contemplating going back to AOKP from KingCobra1X but the camera is a serious plus to Sense :/

Yeah that's kinda what I figured :/ I flashed CM10 JB last night and already missing some Sense features.

Camera Apps for AOSP

CM10/AOKP may not have the Sense camera, but the the Play store seems to have some viable alternatives. What camera Apps would you guys recommend for the HOX?
Running AOKP Build 3 if that makes any difference.

If you are looking for something similar in quality to the Sense cam, I think you may be out of luck. It has to do with the camera framework being specific to Sense. AOKP and AOSP roms don't have the same integration to 'unlock' the same quality. Or so the internet told me
AOSP does not have the same drivers for the camera/camcorder hardware that Sense has. HTC made the drivers specifically for Sense, and specifically for the camera that the HOX has, so obviously, the Sense camera will ALWAYS be better.
AOSP ROMs are currently using an open-source camera/camcorder driver, so yes it can be improved and the possibility IS there for it to be just as good, if not better, than the Sense camera, but it is VERY hard since HTC doesn't help out at all

Both of you are missing the point, reread the op he is asking for a alternative camera for aosp as the stock one sucks
Try to find the miui camera. Its much better than the aosp one

Can I ask a similar, related question? Do the 3rd party camera apps mentioned above work on Sense ROMs too?

CM vs Sense camera quality

alot of people in other forums i read say that SENSE stock camera is superior than the CM camera.
what do u guys think?

Definitely. Stock takes a much smaller picture, more square-sized, and is quite often blurred on mine. Sweep panorama is the only upside to the stock Android camera.
184 is from sense
547 is from liquids ROM

Hey guys, I've been meaning to try CM for a while but the HTC Camera app has kept me with sense. Does the CM Camera app have HDR built in?

It has HDR but it's not that good and often appears blurry because the camera drivers aren't perfect yet

Best non sense camera?

I am considering moving away from sense 5 to a kitkat Rom of some sort. I know that the sense camera is the best around but of course this is not available for non sense Roms.
Can anyone recommend a good camera app? I would like the option of taking hdr shots and panoramic. Also I'm interested in photosphere.
Maybe the stock kitkat camera is good.. I don't know yet as I haven't worked up the courage to downgrade hboot to 2.15...
All recommendations welcome

That's a tough one. There might not be any true replacement for the sense camera. I just installed Beanstalk 4.4 ROM and I found the stock camera to be horrible. Instead I am using Camera MX. I even tested the two side-by-side while I was still running sense and I would say that camera MX is pretty comparable for standard shots. Unfortunately it doesn't do panorama.
I am also hoping to try ProCapture which DOES do panorama.
