Hey all I haven't tried any of the latest non-TW ROMS lately. Are the cameras still somewhat sub par compared to TW still?

With my Sensation being my main phone, I can't really flash between tons of ROMs... from my experience with CM7 on the mt4G, AOSP camera was awful in comparison to Sense. Right now I'm running a CM9 kang, and camera performance is already awesome which leads me to think it can be even better. What ROM do you nice people suggest for an awesome camera? It can be GB or ICS.
I just bought a MyTouch 4G Slide and I'm looking at the different ROM choices. My biggest two concerns are with camera function and battery life.
I have used Cyanogen on my past couple phones and have loved it, so I was looking at CM7 SelfKang. I can deal with only having 2x zoom and 720p video, but some of the comments mentioned poor battery life.
I have been reading into a couple different ROMs, but I'm not quite sure which one would be the best regarding both camera and battery aspects. I'm looking to get opinions from those of you who are more familiar with what is out there.
Thank you!

If you can get it to work right . some have no problems others do .. Rubix ICS 5.3 with the Sense camera is a awesome rom ... I had problems with it . others say it works great
If you want a nice, stable rom. That keeps all the stock feature, but with out the Sense look. Use Rubix ICS on Rootzwiki. It's based of the shipped stock rom. GB 2.3.4.
If you want ICS with working Video and Camera. Use any of Tbaldens ICS Roms but his CM9 Port. You losse 720p video, but really. One can manage with out 1080p. You need a class 6 or higher SD card for full 1080p, otherwsie it is 720p.
If you want a crazy fast Rom use the AOKP port by XMC Wildchild.
If you want a super fast stock rom, use BulletProof.
If you want Sense 3.0 use Rubix Sensation on XDA.
My Personal Fav is the Virtuious Senseless on Root, or PryoIce Senseless.

All Roms not using the CM7 kernel have amazing battery.

I am not a fan of touchwiz except in one certain area....the camera.
I just game to the GS3 from the Galaxy Nexus. I am excited to have a much better camera, however if I flash a stock ROM I am afraid I will lose some quality. Is it noticeable? I assume porting the GS3 camera to an AOSP rom is a no-go...lots of dependancies and whatnot I expect.
Thoughts on TW 4.1.2 ROMs vs AOSP 4.2.2 ROMS?
You shouldn't lose any quality by flashing a stock ROM because it uses the same camera app. And you're right about the TW camera, it's pretty darn good compared to the AOSP one.
Hey guys, why is the camera better on Sense roms better than the non-sense roms such as CM or AOSP etc?
I think this applies to the HTC One X as well, somehow the camera (and battery life) is just better. Is it because of the different kernels they use? Or is there more to it? Like, it doesn't seem like any of the non-Sense custom roms have the same camera quality as the Sense roms do.....

It has to do with the drivers I believe. In general, stock will be better. Not to say someone couldn't make a similar or even better. Just generally speaking.
Or will a picture always look just as good as if it was taken with stock? I've always wondered about this.
Thanks in advance!

It definitely matters.
The hardware doesn't change, but the software controlling features and camera ability changes significantly between stock/aosp camera apps.
Aosp camera ability is getting much better because the development by Google on the camera app is increasing. However in my opinion, the stock camera application will always be better because it's specifically meant to work on this phone model, and it's been tested and tweaked to work perfectly. The Aosp camera is the same for every single device it supports, meaning it's impossible for it to be tailored for a specific phone model.
In general, every stock TouchWiz rom will have the same camera quality and every Aosp rom will have the same camera quality, with TouchWiz winning quality wise all the time.

I also was wondering this the other day. Since aosp roms tempt to have bad cameras (freezing or not connecting)

Thanks for clarifying this! I've also been wondering and asking myself this question for years if the ROM matters. The downside: This makes the (already hard) decision between AOSP and Sammy ROMs even harder...
