4.4.1 dropped for N5 and it came with huge camera improvements including HDR and HDR+ modes. According to the N5 threads the new camera works on CM11 (for us AOSPers) but I tried it and I get FFC reboot and main camera is really laggy. Is it portable? Will this camera update be able to be included in other AOSP roms? Or is it and update specifically for the N5?

Hello guys,
I have a question. When Android 4.0 was announced, everybody was all hyped up about the fact that our phones would be able to take photos almost instantaneously, however, I can understand that that depends on our hardware as well, so I am not questioning that. What I am questioning is the fact that the Galaxy Nexus has continuous autofocus on the stock camera app when taking pictures and that is why it is faster than any other phones when taking pictures.
Android 4.0 should have had this feature by default, however, on the Nexus S version, it doesn't.
Is there any way to MOD the camera so that this feature gets added or is there any additional *.apk that would add this feature to the stock camera when taking pictures?
So nobody has any ideas ?
Pretty sure continuous autofocus is a hardware feature. Ours wouldn't have this capability.
so what about tap to focus?
Hi all,
So I purchased the One for my wife, while I'm using the Nexus 5 on Stock ROM (rooted and all).
I decided to install a nightly build of CM of Lollipop 5.0.1 (unofficial). Doing so, I had the default Google camera app.
The only thing I can say is, "It's CRAP"!
The OnePlus has a great camera H/W installed, yet the Google camera app does it ****ty reputation since I got these 1 year old focus issues as I'm getting with my Nexus 5 on the same app. I do realize it's the app more than the H/W of OnePluse One. Yet , I was really in shock when I realized that the image quality and video quality are so bad that when you take videos, you see how the camera keeps hunting for focus on a bright day sunny day.
Is this something you experience as well? Do you have any recommendations on a good camera app that takes images without delays and no focus hunting?
Hi guys
I have a OnePlus inbound and asked myself this: Users of about every single device from every single manufacturer have to make due with a worsened camera quality experience when moving away from stock ROMs to AOSP-based or vanilla Android builds. This is usually due to closed-source implementation of proprietary camera features which can only be enabled or accessed when using the stock camera app on a stock ROM etc and holds true for Sony, Samsung, LG and probably many more. Even Nexus-devices under certain circumstances. Usually caused by post-processing and image enhancement mechanisms to go haywire and (native/hardware) HDR being absent, resulting in much worsened image quality when taking pictures.
Is the OnePlus One also affected? When moving away from CM11S to AOSP, CM11, CM12 or ParanoidAndroid, will the camera experience be worse or are the OnePlus camera features documented well enough, so that custom ROMs can maintain the stock camera quality?
Thanks for answers.
You can use the CM11S camera on any ROM for this device.

No decline in quality when switching back and forth between whatever ROM fits this device then.
Good to head and thanks for answering.
I've recently bought s7 (G930F) off eBay (upgrade from s4), flashed LineageOS and was shocked with poor camera performance vs stock TouchWiz one. I've tried some cameras from Play with no improvement, ended up flashing HTC Camera replacement floating around but it's got 2 issues as far as I can tell: can't use my sdxc card and its quality is still subpar to stock. I've been running AOSP on my devices for a long time so it's not the app - itcs the resulting images that are very grainy and blury.
Any advise/ideas on how to address camera issues on s7 in AOSP?
You have to use the stock camera app & touchwiz ROM for full camera quality, the drivers and framework required to drive the camera properly are only in the stock camera app which only runs on TouchWiz ROMs
You will never get full quality on AOSP ROMs no matter which camera app you use, it must be the stock Samsung camera app
So I noticed something strange after converting my phone from T-Mobile firmware to International firmware. Using Snapchat with the rear facing camera was working great (as far as Android devices go) on the T-Mobile firmware, and now that I have switched to the newest International firmware, the rear facing camera *only* seems to be doing the weird viewfinder hack it used prior to using Camera 1/Camera 2 API (no proper exposure leveling/auto-focus). The front facing camera performance is better. What gives, and has anyone else noticed this since the latest update? I find it odd especially since the camera application itself is vastly improved.

Maybe I'm not understanding you but I'm running basically the same phone and same software as you, T-Mobile with international 9.6.7.
I opened Snapchat and with the rear camera I focused on something 6 feet away and then I moved my hand back and forth in front of the camera and it's switched the focus fine.
