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!

Because its a port and the new sense 4 ville c2 base isnt compatible with the HQ camera mod yet because no one has ported it over yet
do you know of any third party apps or solution? and it is really a big difference?

To be perfectly honest I dont know why everyone raves on and on about phone camera quality. Compared to a dedicated camera phone cameras are complete rubbish and my view of it is if you want decent looking pics, use a dedicated camera so no I dont really know what the difference is or any 3rd party apps
Actually on the new Ville c2 base for sense 4 Roms there isn't much difference in quality anymore in terms of photos. On the original Sense 4 base for the Sensation, the One S port, photos would appear pixelated and grainy on our Sensation(outdoor bright light shots where normally that wouldn't be an issue), but that isn't the case anymore.
You can still mod your Sense 4 media_profiles.xml file to not compress photos.
For video I use lgcamera from the market. It has selectable bitrates for all video modes, and offers true aac recording at 44khz.
You can try lgCamera as mentioned or Camera ICS to see if the quality gets better.
i recently switched to sense 4.0 based rom and the camera quality is the same as before...i havent really seen any major difference in the uncompressed version of the photos and normal compressed versions..
Hello I am running Rasbeanjelly Build date Dec 3 2012 19:47 PST
It been a good Rom But I hate the Camera app Built into the OS
The Replacement Programs on the web I have found are Awful
My Friend has Galaxy X2 and his Camera app is stock and great .
The Pinch to zoon works great

Zoom is pointless when you have a fixed lens such as on the Nexus S. It's a digital zoom, thus meaning you are simply cropping a part of the image. Doesn't give you better quality than manually cropping the picture after shooting it.
Have you tried lgCamera? It's one of the crowds favorite.

You realize that the Nexus S does NOT have a lens that can physically zoom in? All you are doing with the "pinch-to-zoom" is digitally zooming in, reducing overall quality in the process. If you really want zoom features with your camera, get a different phone (or get a camera!)...
Been waiting to get a New Nexus 4 but there still sold out
Having poor audio/picture quality on recorded videos and captured pics when I switched to cm... ?
Tried using different camera and video recording apps...
Still no use quality is horrible...
It was outstanding when I was on touch wiz...
Why cm devs never care about their camera app ?
Need help...

Take a look at the thread for Temasek's unofficial CM11, some users have found that camera performs much better when the cpu is firing on all cylinders! *edited* It seems some other fixes, which I was already using are also required. Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50686592
my device is xperia mini pro, I flash CM 11, my vodeo recording is perfect, try ti flash it again
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.
Hi guys, I'm currently using LOS as daily, i love this rom. but the only thing is camera, I've tried every gcam and no one works on my phone. Ive come with idea if someone will port original camera from coloros to work on custom rom. it would be great if someone work on it. thanks anyway and i will look for it
I know that to make a stock camera for custom ROMs in difficult but not impossible. By the way, there is fix for gcam working in LOS made by user vetefan. works like a charm. But no gcam have eis, 60 fps, 4k, 48MP, macro, wide lens support. And in all gcams resolution is limited to 12 MP front and 4MP back camera, slow-mo. So gcam although makes nice night shots, cannot use efficiently our camera hardware. And the camera is one of the major assets of our R5Pro. That's why I end up in stock rom with magisk. So it would be major contribution to R5 Pro society if someone could get stock camera working on custom ROMs.
here fix for gcam in Los( thanks to vetefan):

Same here. Been looking into the issue but oppo cam app can't really be installed without it's libs outside color os environment. We've been trying a lot of things out and experimenting with the guys on telegram to make it work but without success so far. Stay tuned.
