Hi guys
Only thing stopping me from leaving touchwiz to CM11 is the fantastic camera app we have. I love slow motion video, smooth motion and 4k video.
I don't suppose there is any way of getting best of both worlds? - lauchers are just not as smooth as they were on stock (e.g. Nova has tiny but noticeable stuttering when looking at widgets compared to my friend's N5) , so that is not really an option.
Opinions please!
Thanks
have you tried Apex launcher? Nova always stuttered with me too but Apex is smooth
The Camerais not as good on CM11as TW Roms,also the sPEN apps are not as polished as TW.

Apex doesn't seem that much better. I don't think I can try that camera withoutflashing and therefore rooting. What does it add?
Also it seems a little odd that we can port the note camera to the s4 bit not to custom ROMs..

I like the new Google Camera app so much (despite the lack of HDR on the hlte) that I would use it even if I were running TouchWiz.

There are quite a few out there, what do you think is the best camera and and what apps have you tried (if you think one is best, but haven't tried others, not very valid tbh!)
Myself, I would like one that takes pics in the same ratio as my phone screen. The Desire HD would do this. I know you actually lose resolution, but they look better on the phone...
Can't say I've tried them all, but Vignette is pretty good. It has a wide range of options to select from.
+1 for Vignette - I use it all the time
you can check out my review of it from the link in my signature
Had a quick play with Vignette, certainly seems very good. I love I can set the volume rocker to be the shutter release!
Is there a way to change aspect ratio of the photo's, so it takes full screen? If I select Full Screen of 16:9 as the frame, it does this, but crops the photo to only be about 600 by 300...
Another +1 user for Vignette here =D
Camera Magic is the one i use most. Just because it's fast and has both rapid fire mode and timer mode.
Camera 360 ultimate is kool also.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
yes 360 is really nice
I'm shopping for a new camera app right now, as the stock one for AOSP ROMs is horrible. Can't believe how crappy it is, especially after coming off a modded Sense ROM (Virtuous) where that camera kicked ass. Right now I'm torn between Vignetta and Camera Advance. It seems that most here like Vignette, but what about Camera Advance? On Amazon it only got 3/5 stars, but after playing with the "free" version it seems pretty good.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Miui Camera or Sleek Camera. Miui is basically a prettier version of the stock camera and seems to work well on CM7 if you turn down the resolution.
Sleek Camera is a little bit buggy but it takes high quality photos on CM7 roms without any bloat or all the extras of Camera 360 and others. I highly recommend this app as a partial fix for CM7 users.

Camera Advance Pro is very good so far in my testing but still suffers from the same problems as the stock CM7 camera.

+1 Vinette
It's good. +1 for Vinette, though little bit slow.
+1 Vignette is pretty good xD
I think Pro HD Camera is the best.many settings available after take a photo
I just want an app that controls shutter speed, but pretty sure that can't happen.

Well the Milestone 2 camera is pretty bad, camera 360 allowed me to take some great pics. My friend who has a SGS didn't notice any difference with 360 compared to his stock app.

Little Photo has some nice effects although I wouldn't say its a camera replacement app. Coming from the iPhone which has so many wonderful camera apps, I must say android does seem a little behind. I wonder why it doesn't have the same broad range of apps?
Hello,
How are you?
SInce I am using my note a bit more to take pictures, I was wondering if there is a camera App that is better than the stock camera in regard to overall image quality, either by lower compression of files, or by better use of the camera hardware.
So, dear note users, what is your take on this?
Thank you.
Cheers!
I use as photo application Camera ZOOM FX https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom is very good camera App :good:
I'm running Paranoid Android and find the stock Camera to be pretty poor. The best alternative I found is:
Pro Capture
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neaststudios.procapture&hl=en
I should say though, that the stock TW camera is better.
CameraZoomFX is good if you plan to add effects and stuff to your pic's. if you want a more DSLR/professional like handling of the cam app and .png files instead of .jpeg, you should take a look at FV-5 Camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.lite there is also a paid version with even more features.
I'm using Pudding Camera and it's really cool but the stock app in TouchWiz is enough for daily use.
I use the Camera X or even the Shot Control Camera.. They have many customizable options like a pro at your finger tips
I am using shot control too.
Dev seems responsive according to comments.
Have emailed regarding geolocation support and custom folder support.
Other than that, it is a pretty sweet app that allows you to access features on the main screen.
So you can control ISO, and exposures, and focus modes easily.
You can also map to hardware keys.
The Note's large screen does help a little here.

@Markuzy Totally agree with you.. Shot control screen is just great on the galaxy note considering the screen size. The feature request is also just what i was looking for.
Is there any mod for the camera on the note? Like there is for the HTC One X?

Honestly my dream camera app will be something that can do everything from HDR merging to fast capture to panorama.
Unfortunately I have yet to find an app that does all that. Only the individual apps for each feature can be found.
One thing I found out is that localized touch focus on Gingerbread Galaxy Note is proprietary to Samsung while it is native to ICS.
This may be something that you are missing out on 3rd party camera apps unless you are on ICS already.

Try Camera FV-5. It has all controll on the screen.

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.
Hi peeps, I found a camera apps that adds more features over stock or AOSP's camera.
I am still testing out but so far so good. This should work on all versions and it works fine on CM11 too.

*Some filters and panorama mode might not work depends on ROM version and type*
Really really great apps, Works with jb 4.2.2 stock rom, minus the hdr and panorama mode, but the effects are much way cooler than the original s2 plus camera, a must try apps...

Huh, HDR works in CM11 though. It's weird to hear that it doesn't work on 4.2.2 stock. Thanks for the review on 4.2.2 stock. :laugh:
Does it over writes the CM11 camera?

No, you can still choose which to use. I prefer this on normal shoot because it will turn on auto-brightness for me. Panorama will go for CM's camera.
Hi guys,
I noticed that when I take pictures with google camera App, they are Dithered!
Compared to my Stock Camera App and compared to Focal camera App it's very noticeable!
I like google's camera, but it's a shame if this problem exist in other devices too...
So I've got Galaxy S4 (i9500) and I'm running WanamLite V4 - 4.4.2, but I just want to check with you guys if
this problem exist on your devices too...
This is how it looks on my camera apps
look at the sky, can you see the Dithering in colors?
Please let me know if you have this problem too...
Cheers
:fingers-crossed:
That would be up to Google to fix, I personally would stick with the Samsung camera, the image looks allot better.

Thanks, as for now, I'm back to Samsung camera...
Pity, I like google's minimalistic UI... and Lens blur is cool too...
Thanks!
It is, it makes a huge difference on the Nexus 5 but in upcoming updates just try and see if the image has the same problem.
