i tried using SNAP camera but it kept freezing.

I've been using Vignette for quite awhile now and love it. Its got lots of filters and always takes great pictures and is easy to use.

4.2 android camera for me, the photosphere is really cool

Right now I'm using snap and it's fantastic, I like the way the configuration works, it's very fast. I bought camera zoom fx some months ago but I've never really used it. It's a good app though, lots of options and filters, but I guess it's just too complex for me.

I use "Camera ICS" found on the Google Market for any ROM i have without any camera app included. It's just like ICS's camera app and it works great

Touchwiz camera vs any AOSP camera

I really like the camera functions and modes on the stock TW. However I have been trying out various AOSP roms and I feel that the camera quality is not the same and the modes for the AOSP camera dont seem to work very well like the TW do. Has anybody compared them? Or is it just my imagination?

Aosp camera is not as good as tw one

This has always been the case for me. It sucks since I do enjoy aosp. But the Samsung camera on the s4 is really nice.

I was in the same situation with my old htc inspire. The sense roms had the best camera but the aosp, aokp, even miui couldn't compare.
Sent from my GS4

I wish there was a way to get the best of both!

When I had an AOSP rom running, I clearly noticed the downgrade in camera performance. For one thing, AOSP took about 1-2 seconds to snap a shot, whereas the TW rom (which I now have loaded) was pretty much instantaneous. The quality of the photos was lacking on the AOSP rom as well.
Yeah that would be awesome to have a TW camera version on AOSP, because I really do like everything else about AOSP.

You aren't alone.
I loved using aokp by task but unfortunately the camera was sluggish and slow compared to tw camera.
So I switched over to cleanrom which is essentially stock with all the bloatware gone. Thankfully scott was able to make it happen. Even now, I am using tw camera. I could care less all the features in tw camera but the quality and speed are very nice compared to aokp's.

one of the reasons I'm sticking with a TW rom.

As much as i love the camera on TW, I just can't stand the legginess on tw.

AOSP camera has and will always be garbage. That's the only thing that keeps me coming back to TW or any stock rom on my devices. it just so awful, there's really no comparison between any stock rom camera and the garbage AOSP camera.

Try flashing the Google Play edition ROM, camera app is flawless. It literally takes pictures just as good as the touch wiz camera. And you get working photosphere

What ROM is this? I would just like the camera app to compare.

Ignore-
thought one of the previous pages was the last page...my question has already been answered

You can download and install the Nexus Experience camera (without ROOT may I add) on your stock rom. It works perfectly. I really love the fact that I can use my TW camera and when I feel like using PhotoSphere or something I can just open the other camera. You can download the file in the link below. Just installs like any other APK

::grabs popcorn:: i'm watching that thread

The aosp camera takes just as good of quality photos as the touchwiz variant. If you doubt this statement then show me proof. I use cm10.1 on this device and I've got a pretty good knack for photography owning a nicer Sony nex.. So understanding the settings and your environment is most important to capturing a good photo.
Guys, don't believe the fluff around the touchwiz camera, its not any better - its the same hardware and that's what matters.

So what youre saying is that I will get the same exact picture with either camera? I have tested the newer AOSP cameras and it has gotten better but I think on a few modes, like for example night mode, pictures do come out better on TW. Please clarify this because im itching to stay on AOSP and the camera is one of the biggest falls for me to stay on TW.

Any comparison must include not only sample pictures/video but also account for the user experience while in the camera app. If AOSP cameras take longer to focus and snap pictures, that means the experience using the camera is worse than on TW, even if the actual pictures are equal in quality. It's all subjective anyway. (objective? I always mix those two up)
Comparing the two is like trying to compare SLCD to Super AMOLED screens. You will never ever get everyone to agree one is better than the other and the debates will go on and on.

[APP 4.0+] Android 4.4 Camera

Here's the KitKat standalone camera app, compiled from source with no modifications.
It should work on 4.0 and up.
This doesn't include Photosphere and really isn't much different to the 4.3 camera.

Maybe it's just my device, but the camera is very laggy. I'm running stock ICS (Touchwiz) on my Ace II X.

Tx bro..
Work @andromax v( indonesia) or zte n986..
Great job bro

Try it and see but the 4.3 google camera (with gallery) is really much more usable.
This doesn't play videos and the menu is a bit slow to open.

I still can't see a difference between stock jb camera app.
Sent from note, a phone like never before

Runs good,but only pictures up to 8mp...
Would be nice to add an option to get better quality

Thank you
Thank you

I'm not going to make any modifications to this, it is what it is, if you want a better camera there's plenty of choice.

I cant choose another location to save my images. I want them to my SD Card. Stock JB is better.

I installed the camera app as per your instructions but everytime I take a pic, the app freezes and I have to restart my phone for it to work again (only for it to freeze after another pic).
I am on cm10.2. Any idea on how to correct this?

NEW: LGCamera Port for Android 4.3 ALL and i9500/i9505

NEW: LGCamera Port for Android 4.3 ALL and i9500/i9505
Hi Guys,
I have compiled the latest LGCamera App and its supporting depedancy libraries to make it work on Android 4.3 General ALL and i9500/i9505. This is a tested package and All the features are working as expected. Device to Device features might work or might not work.
"BSDgeek_Jake_LGCamera_Port_AndroidGeneric4.3ALL_i9500_i9505_CWM" to be Flashed from CWM recovery.
"BSDgeek_Jake_LGCamera_Port_AndroidGeneric4.3ALL_i9500_i9505_MANUAL" to be extracted to '/system' and manually set permissions to '0.0' (root:root) and '644' (rw-r-r). You might want to use "Root Explorer" to achieve this or your prefered explorer which has root capability.
NOTE: Before doing any modification to your device, please Remember to take Backup for your Device through CWM. Although i have tested this package thoroughly and found no issues BUT I am not responsible for any issues which might arise.

Great, thanks for this. It works great without any FC's and pics seems very clear than ones shot with TW camera.
Found two problems.
1. Even thou i chose 10M, 16:9 it always takes pictures in 4:3
2. no possibility to chose external SD card and it places pics always on internal SD.
Thanks.

For second one,
Since this has been taken from LG G2 & G2 doesn't support External SD, Camera app doesn't have save to External SD option.

Google Play Edition requires a seperate modified LG Camera App since it's completely AOSP based or Pure Android.

Shutter sound bug is default problem part of Samsung firmware. Not camera app problem i think.

Best non sense camera?

I am considering moving away from sense 5 to a kitkat Rom of some sort. I know that the sense camera is the best around but of course this is not available for non sense Roms.
Can anyone recommend a good camera app? I would like the option of taking hdr shots and panoramic. Also I'm interested in photosphere.
Maybe the stock kitkat camera is good.. I don't know yet as I haven't worked up the courage to downgrade hboot to 2.15...
All recommendations welcome

That's a tough one. There might not be any true replacement for the sense camera. I just installed Beanstalk 4.4 ROM and I found the stock camera to be horrible. Instead I am using Camera MX. I even tested the two side-by-side while I was still running sense and I would say that camera MX is pretty comparable for standard shots. Unfortunately it doesn't do panorama.
I am also hoping to try ProCapture which DOES do panorama.
