Hey,
ive been running cyanogenmod 11 nightlies and its been a good experience so far, fast and hardly any bugs. the only problem i have is the stock camera. its not even close to the quality of sense roms. it has trouble focusing and the quality is just subpar. Is there any fixes or mods to help improve quality or is it just one of the drawbacks of running stock android?

I understand that sense camera can't be used on aosp ROMs, but is there any way to improve the camera quality of aosp ROMs, such as cm11?
Well from what I noticed, the image does not look sharp in the camera app, but after I went into gallery and zoomed in, it loads and looks a lot better. I'm not really disappointed with it.

Snap Camera HDR is built from the same 4.4 source, but has many enhancements and performance improvements. It's significantly faster and has a better burst mode. Worth the $2, and you can even install a trial version.

I would also say to go with a paid camera app. I've heard good things about procapture but too cheap to buy it myself yet. Currently I'm use Camera MX. I installed it while I was still running sense and I had the opportunity to compare the two head to head. I'd say the sense one was definitely better but only ever so slightly. Certainly now that I compare Camera MX to the stock one on 4.4, it is like night and day. Camera MX is waaay better.
Finally, I should mention that some camera app makers are starting to tune their apps to the flagship phones (eg. HTC One, S4). That doesn't really help us, but it's something to consider when making your next purchase. Things like the camera really need to be tuned to the hardware to get the best performance.

Thanks for the suggestion, ill definitely give camera mx a try,
Hi,
I run on CM11 and I think the stock CM11 cam is ok.
But I have a problem when the cam needs the flashight in dark environments. The Cam doesn't use the flashlight to focus the image. Only when the image is being recorded, the flashlight is used. That's why I have bad, fuzzy results if the pictures were taken in the dark.
I have also tried another camera apps like the Camera MX but there is the same problem.
Are there others who have the same problem or can it be solved by the settings?

Camera is getting better on 4.4.
No HDR, but decent.
Bad in 4.4 si sound. No Beats Audio...
Camera is not the same in 4.4.2 roms. Some have more options, some ar thin in facilities.
just switched to cm11 from an older sense rom. Big feature I'm missing in the camera is the ability to take pictures while recording. This feature is supposed to be included on the camera now, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it work. Am I missing something?
I have the latest version 2.2.024.
Camera on 4.4.4 Deviant Xone is Good.
I think its about the same like sense camera.
Thank you, $droyd$
I use the app camera zoom fx, because I don't like the Cm camera app.
Camera zoom fx is much better.
Hi,
i`m current using 4.4.4 since update on 4.4.2 the camera can not zoom. I can zoom on the screen but the picture isn´t zoomed.
That ist with both apps (cm11 app and google camera).
Is there any solution?
Mine works.
I guess it's from youre rom.
Now i use MIUI Germany 4.3.2.8 Android 4.1.1
Camera have HD option. Foto not so good.
Picture is way better with Deviant Xone camera.
I have tried the software with HD camera, or "professional HD camera". Description is fantastic.
Soft, NO!
Hey all, I haven't heard much about camera specs in all the excitement about Lollipop and now PA on the G3, I am on CM12 now and loving it but I miss having 4k recording on the camera... Any way to bring this back? Maybe a camera app port? [emoji1]
That is the only reason I went back to a stock based ROM. Love my camera.
I know this is something we can do... We have some great developers here... WINK WINK!... That is the only only thing it is missing. I'm going to try some build.prop edits to see if it will work, but I doubt it.

Agreed, CloudyG3 is great. It's my go to ROM unless I'm on CM12, I had to flash back today because I'm having WiFi issues on CM.
Aosp ROMs always have bad cameras they use googles **** camera

I have had many phones...Nexus, Touchwiz, Sense, and now the G3...it cannot be done.
But the ability to record 4k is in the hardware, right? If it were strictly a software up conversion then yes it would be an issue, but if it is native to the camera hardware it seems like the camera app would just need to have the support for that feature of the sensor...
I sorta think its silly to record in 4k without even having a 4k TV to play it against. I honestly can't justify it, so I'll stick with the pros of having cm12 instead. Fwiw the Google camera isn't all that bad really. If I need pro photos, that's what my Sony nex is for.

But we do all own a phone that plays 4k... And if you down sample to 1080p it retains a lot of sharpness and clarity not possible from strait 1080p recording.

This is the thing right here. I want to be able to record in 4k so that I can downsample/crop/frame a 1080p edit of that footage with amazing clarity and control.
I desperately want to be able to do this on AOSP on the G3, but the going, thus far, is slow.
Recently YouTube brought back 4k playback. Check out the GoPro channel. Sweet stuff. They need an LG G3 channel...
I don't think the quality in stock vs Google camera can ever be matched sadly.

Which camera do you think is better? I'm confused.

Stock camera is ages ahead of the CM Camera (Googles), there is just no comparison, once you look at the photos on a big screen you notice the lower quality on the Google camera photos., also with CM you will loose:
Laser Focus, 4K video recording and Slow Motion
If your recording in 4k only to convert to 1080 because it looks better it's because your editing software isn't doing it's job. I've tried it both ways and get the same results. And yes unless you're filming for a professional job that will use cinema standards or own a 4k TV recording in 4k just takes up too much space for no reason. I also recommend waiting quite a few years before attempting to get a useless UHD TV.
Till devs will trasport lg camera drivers to cm12, many users looking for good quality camera,
Lets help each ather and post your recomendations.
Please excuse me for my lag english
Tnx

I agree, I'd love to see stock quality with an app. It's one of my only complaints with aosp.

guys check here:

this is one of the best camera ported from lenovo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706891
Do you guys think the lg camera drivers will be ported some day? I think we could do an reward for the developer that make the camera on aosp like stock. I could put 50usd on it

BAd camera tried it
I have 3 camera installed...
1) google camera - for photosphere and panorama, everything else about it is subpar in my humble opinion...
2) built in rom camera - use it b/c it does everything (decent)
3) dslr camera pro - playstore ($2.99) awesome options/settings for crisp still (only takes pix, no video)
* Patiently waiting for someone to PLEASE port LG G3 camera to AOSP... Someone PLEASE port that bad boy!!

Ok that Lenovo Super Camera is pretty slick. Has some pretty cool features, just have to learn them. Doesnt have 4k video recording and a couple feature do crash the app but still...
Im using Cyanogen camera (from Oneplus One). Its almost as good as stock LG. I would be ok using Google cam IF IT COULD SAVE TO F**** SD CARD!
Look in the general android apps section on XDA and flash the motorola camera
Never had the Cannot connect to camera since and it is as good as stock except no 4k camera
None of these work arounds support 4k recording either.
Whats the point of having such a great camera/video when it cant do either via a stock rom.
Ill always be using stock based roms till that gets sorted.

By the way, the G3 does not record 4k. 4k is Ultra HD (3840 x 2160). The G3 is Quad HD (2560 x 1440). Just FYI

Just so you know. LG G3's display is 2K . LG G3 can record in 4K resolution. ).
ummm ^^ on aosp we are already using stock LG drivers is the camera app that doesn't work the best with the drivers.. that's because LG drivers are closed sources and can't be modified.. so until devs will port stock G3 camera app... all the camera apps will not work correctly in quality of pictures... but till now the best for me is google camera from playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera

just to Help him on explain LG G3 is 2K that means 4 times 1280x720p and twice 1920x1080 that means 2560x1440 that is called usually QHD (quad HD = 4 x 720p) so.. yeah twice of a QHD is the 4K UHD (Ultra HD = 3840x2160) so.. in less words we have a 2K screen and a 4K capable camera

USe google camera 3.2 it is not crappy. best quality you can get from nexus 5 is to use official Google Camera 3.2 or Snapdragon supercamera

Even I am looking for 60 fps video recording mod. I tried the L camera app mod(replacing some library file), but the camera app was crashing. Probably its Lollipop specific.
Hello, I've recently got my MI4 LTE and flashed lineage OS, so far so good. I love how much extra storage I could get out of it, especially since I'm only using the 16gb variant. Anyways, the only thing I miss is the stock cam for the MIUI. I don't really record much in UHD, but I do use the front camera a lot for short vlogs, but the Lineage Stock OS only gives me a max resolution of 720p. Do you guys have any alternatives for the stock MIUI camera on Lineage? Or is there a way to bypass the resolution and enable 1080p video recording?
P.S. I'd like to ask the mods to move the thread to the appropriate section if necessary, I just found out about the themes/app section just now.
