I'm expecting hate and anger for this question, but I want to make sure I'm not missing out on anything. Is there any way to get a decent camera with touchwiz quality on aosp? A mod or a good camera app or anything? I REALLY want to get off TW and the stupid camera thing is always holding me back.

To be honest, no. I've tried many, many different aosp roms and even different cameras, but you'll never get the same stability and especially quality as you will on TW. I have the same problem as you, as soon as I go aosp I eventually go back to TW for signal and camera.

Believe it or not, zoom camera from the play store is pretty nice (even macro shots). I've only needed/used the free version, that's fine enough

Wondering about this.... since we all like the LG app so much better, is there a way to take it out of the froyo build and drop it into the the new gb build? If its possible, it would be nice to know how.

Will the MIUI camera apk work on CM7, since I believe that's a CM7 based rom?

Where can I find that camera app? Is it available if I am not rooted?
Sorry for the noob question.
miui is built off of cm7 so I would think it would work. ill upload the apk when I get home if someone doesn't beat me to it.
Here you go. I would make a backup of your rom before trying the camera just in case.
Use any file manager with root access to place the APK in system/app then reboot. The camer should then be in your app drawer. If when trying to open it it force closes it wont work. I think it should work with CM7 but dunno about stock gingerbread.

Because the LG camera app has more features and tweaks the camera to take better quality video and photos. It also has the zoom feat. while recording video which is nice to have. Its hard going back to stock after being used to utilizing the extra feats.
Geah!

and along the same token, your lack of concern for preserving the awesomeness of the camera is your opinion and, I imagine, not one that is held widely by the MT4GS userbase.
one of the selling points of this phone is the camera... and that goes out the window with the AOSP camera app. before this phone, I wouldn't have cared either, but since it has such a capable setup out of the box for being a point and shoot replacement, it seems like a waste to toss that just to get an AOSP rom.
Before jumping to conclusions about the built in Camera software versus the third party camera apps available on the market, we should test them out first.
I'm absolutely certain that there will be apps out there in the future that will be able to control the entire camera in this phone. The only question is when. That being said I only care in so far as being able to turn the flash on and off. I'm usually taking pictures in default settings though I might turn the flash off.
The Sense 3.0 camera app is the same as the one we have on the MT4GS, and as long as we run a version of Sense 3.0 we shouldn't have any problems. AOSP would be nice, but I'd like to have the nice camera functionality, and honestly I loved Virtuous Fusion ROM running Sense 3.0, I can't imagine how fast it would be on this device!
Yeah, the camera is something that I really want working on a custom rom. coming from the cliq though, everything seems fast stock on this phone.
I can't wait for Cyanogenmod on this phone. It really opened up my 3G slide with all kinds of cool stuff. When 3G slides were bearly getting official 2.2 Froyo from HTC, I had gingerbread for a while. I can imagine this bad boy running 3.1 or even the 4.0 that's supposed to be out soon!
Loved CM on my 3G slide, but I *personally* would not want to part with the functionality of the camera. Now if workarounds are discovered than that is a different story.
This phone is so much better out of the box than the 3G slide was though.

[ROM][09/16/2011]Senseless_v2.1.2 Tweaked, Modded, Debloated, AOSP Pieces, ONLY 180MB
Just because something isn't CM7 doesn't mean it isn't a good ROM. People need to pay respect to those developing ROMs other than CM7 and MIUI as well, if it weren't for them we would still be on the stock rom with S-ON. Give this ROM a shot, I've been running it for a while and it is much better than the shipped rom and has full camera functionality.
The reason we don't have cm7 support is because there is no source code yet. You stuck with sense until then. Complain to HTC not within xda.

Wasn't complaining. Was just asking if any work was done. I found this article through a Google search and then did some forum searching after posting. Sad that the source for the kernel has to be released first. But if that ROM is more AOSP and has full camera functionality, it might be worth rooting my phone over.
Just as the title suggests. Is this possible? I know the camera probably depends on touchwiz libs etc. but I really want CM but I love the camera on touchwiz. Is it possible to have an AOSP ROM or CM ROM with the stock camera? Thanks in advance!!

I believe it can be achieved, because some gapps have their own custom version of the cameras.
If you have the Camera.apk, try to overwrite the current apk after making a backup first, of course.
I asked this same question a long time ago and was told the framework involved would be to extensive. It does work the other way around though. 4.2 camera on touch wiz. I wish it could be done. Probably one of the biggest reasons I still use TW and not aosp

Thanks for reply guys. This is def the ONLY thing holding me back from switching to CM or any AOSP/AOKP ROM. I use my camera A LOT and the features on the TW camera are awesome, I can't give them up.
Yeah I think the camera is one of the main reasons a lot of us don't switch. It is for me. I haven't even tried aosp yet. I just know I'd miss the TW camera.

With the never ending camera "stuff" on AOSP, what is everyone's general thoughts on the recently leaked Google Edition Camera? I personally have used TW mainly for better reception, bluetooth, and camera, but I flashed LiquidSmooth the other day for fun, and I honestly thought reception was just as good as my CR7. Much improved since the last time I tried AOSP, which was last December. The main issue would be the loss of the TW camera. Anyone have experience with the new Google camera? Just looking for rational responses that may help others as well, not a TW vs. AOSP debate.
I run both on stock 4.1.2. I like the tw camera because it has more options such as HDR. But I also like to make photospheres. You could find the download and see if its worth the switch.

Google Edition camera is quite annoying and crippled in options compared to CM nightly
Thanks for the replies. I've grown to really like the TW camera, and the fact that I know everything in it will work how intended. I guess, like always, you have to try it to see. I may look into the CM camera, as well as maybe just running the TW cam with the GE 4.3 cam.
Yeah the developers have the AOSP camera so far beyond the Google edition camera that it's not worth discussing really.

Im running PA and I use the AOSP modded camera. It has working HDR and other features but the FFC is a bit wonky. I was really missing the TW camera but now not so much. I dont use my FFC to take pics much and it works fine with video like skype. I found a work around to taking pics with it, just start recording a video with the FFC and then take shots while recording. Then just delete the vid. Pics are good to go.

I like the TW camera way better than the AOSP version because more color effects, anti-shake feature, and all of those best face features but I give a thumbs up to the nice layout and the speed the aosp camera has to offer

I'm hoping Google will release a camera apk with HDR and Photosphere soon..
Can't wait .. I miss TW camera options. It'd be nice to have the option to store pictures in external sd.
I would love to see someone port over TW camera to work with non TW roms.
I hate the Google Edition camera. I don't like the controls and miss the burst mode from the stock camera

Which ROM are you using that doesn't allow moving to SD card? The first beta 4.3 build I tried didn't have move to SD card option but that was fixed almost immediately.

I'm on LiquidSmooth 3.0 unofficial with BMS.
Pushing the menu button doesn't do anything while I'm on google camera mode. It freezes up if I don't manual focus before I snap a pic. So there's a newer apk download available? I have Gallery 1.1.40012 insatalled with photosphere btw.
I know this community is pretty vacant, but wondering if anyone who comes across this post can point me in a new direction:
I've been searching everywhere for a camera app to replace the Camera ICS app that came with the nexus jb 1.3.2 ROM because this app keeps locking my phone up tighter than Fort Knox, requiring constant battery pulls everytime I use the camera.
What I'm looking for is an app that will still have panorama and take advantage of the front camera, if such an app exists. Thanks for any help!
