Which camera/camcorder works the best on the Non-TW ROMs? That's one thing I've liked about ROMs based off stock, is that the camera/camcorder always seems to be better on all phones.

What do you mean by "best". If the camera works, it works the same. The only different is in some custom rom, you can do a bit more like disabled the camera sound etc.

Maybe I'm taking pictures wrong but a TW ROM picture look better than a AOSP ROM picture to me. So I was wondering if there is a difference between the AOSP ROMs.
When I'm on an AOSP ROM, I usually use Camera Zoom FX. Got it for like 10 cents back when Google was doing a promo. Good go to cam.

Give this one a spin and report back. It's a apk (no need to flash). It's an S4 for aosp rom. For TW rom just install straight. For AOSP rom, recommend to uninstall your camera first then do the install

sadly, no. there is a Camera apk to flash to have the same resolution photos as Sense, but the UI will still be the same. I included it in a different thread if you would like to give it a shot(not my work tho)
or you could try out Virtuous Inquisition. Its basically a Sense rom, de-Sensed, with AOSP added throughout. but it does keep some functions like the camera and others I forgot
I noticed that the stock ROM contains the ability to take HDR images but I haven't found a stock ROM that has that same feature. Does anyone know if such an app exists? Thanks
All of the Sense ROMs have the same function...
Hdr camera app
Original Camera App.

So lemme get this clear coz I was wondering about this. If I get a non-sense ROM I can get back the camera nicely installed and potentially any other Sense apps I like?

No. Sense ROMs are Sense ROMs. Like the name says. If you get a non-sense ROM, like AOKP or CM, you don't get any Sense apps.

To clarify the above.. The Sense apps don't work without all the behind-the-scenes stuff Sense roms have, including Rosie.
The Sense-based MIUI is a pretty good compromise, in my opinion. Been using it for a bit.. much more stable than the AOSP MIUI

Does it in anyway reduce the quality of the camera to not use a sense-app or will hdr app provide similar quality?

Forgot to mention that the Sense-based MIUI uses the Sense camera with all functions working.
As for other apps.. I've tried four or five different HDR apps and have had the best results with Pro HDR out of the ones I've tried. The Sense app is a close second.. partly because it allows widescreen HDR pics.
And as for quality..I myself haven't noticed much difference in quality with other apps, since it's basically still using the same hardware... I use Camera360 a lot and am not disappointed. I think the advantage of the Sense app is the high burst rate you can get out of it. And the panorama mode is better than almost every other pano app I've tried.. except one (but only because that one app allows 360 degree panoramic)
The title pretty much says what I'm looking for.
The AOSP camera has the simple time lapse video recording. I know there are other apps that can do this, but the overall better experience I have had with the AOSP version is what I want.
The only way you can have the touch wiz camera is if you use a touch wiz Rom. I'm not entirely sure if the aosp camera will work on touch wiz but I don't see why it wouldn't.
well, Im on a touchwiz rom. Im thinking if I try to either flash or install it in the system apps, its going to replace, or try to replace the touchwiz camera. Other then doing a nandroid and just trying it, any other thoughts?

Replacing it in zip and flashing is the way to do it. My guess is it is going to FC anyway. Could be wrong but will at least probably lose some integration supported by Touchwiz. :laugh:
It won't work.I don't understand why you and this guy: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/35342-port-request-touchwiz-cameracamcorder-for-aosp-roms/ are so hellbent on getting the TW camera. Yes, it takes better pictures but if you are really looking for quality maybe you should be using a DSLR or something anyway.

What he said. And also i don't notice a huge in quality of pictures anyways and i've been on AOSP jellybean the past couple weeks. All my pictures turn out to look really nice, or maybe i'm just crazy. The AOSP camera really is not that bad at all. Its missing a few features, but that's about it.
The TW camera just runs smooth already. Other camera apps lag or FC, or missing features. Its not a quality issue. I dont know why Samsung left the time lapse feature out.
And I do have a DSLR for my good pics. but DSLR is not nearly as accessible and ready
There are plenty of camera apps that are from the market that dont replace the TW camera. How can we make the AOSP one like a regular app like those?

Hey all,
Currently I'm running an HTC Sense device.
I know that the sense camera is awesome to its AOSP counterparts.
Is the GS3 the same way?
I thought Samsung a "more" of a commitment to open source; or is the RLS (type rom) just the best way to go for this device?
Thanks in advance..

I've done a few side-by-sides while flashing back and forth. I can't tell the difference personally. The big difference is the volume in the camcorder app though, it's about 1/2 the volume if recorded using the TW camera.
So you find the camcorder to be lower/quieter via TW than AOSP?
What about phone (ear) and speaker phone volume?
The AOSP camera has a noticeably greater shutter lag and lacks the anti-shake feature which is really helpful.
i have flashed back and forth for a long time and TW camera is just a better camera hands down. Ive tested over and over again and the aosp just doesnt add up. Anyone tried the 4.3 aosp cam yet???

I tried the 4.3 camera and didn't like the lack of settings and photosphere did not work for me on CM10.1.
I personally am not a fan of the touchwiz camera, and have used camera zoom fx for the longest while. I just recently began using the aosp 4.2 camera and have grown to really love it's simplicity and picture quality. Swiping to the right to access the gallery is just awesome. I did test the 4.3 camera and really did not like it. It had a lack of options (though it is a leak) and got fc's when switching from front to back cameras.
With any camera, it's all about knowing is options and layout and making your knowledge of the app work for you. Currently aosp is the clear winner for me.

Not sure on that as I almost never record video, but now I'm curious..
For me at least, the TW camera is why I have not flashed any AOSP based ROM. I just love the TW cam to much. I also use my camera a lot which is why I won't let TW go.
ive been running a TW based ROM on my S5 since i got it and i just love the camera app. That being said, ive been running an AOSP ROM that a good friend of mine developed and i would love to get the quality of the stock TW camera app in an AOSP environment. Ive dealt with some paid apps that just dont deliver. Any suggestions?
That's why I stick with TW roms. Good luck getting the same quality out of any other rom. ?

Dang. Yeah, that's what I've pretty much encountered so far. I just don't get why the aosp world hasn't come up with a good camera app

In all the years I've been messing with phones I've never seen a custom rom beat a stock rom on camera. MIUI was closest but I haven't found one for my phone.
That's a bummer. I've never had such problems with the aosp camera apps than I've had with the S5
