Maybe I can help anyone here. Since I have my Nexus 5, I try almost every custom ROM out there is. Bin up to some lag in some even totally satisfied. Only the camera constantly causes problems for ALL ROMs. Be it the supplied or the original from the camera ROM cooking by Google. After normal use, it lubricates regularly, and can reactivate after a restart. Some ROMs jerky also huge. Mind For photo and video. Slowly I lose the desire to custom ROMs. Has not anyone have similar experiences? I am grateful for any tip!

i know english isnt your first language, but i dont understand what kind if problems that you are having with your camera. the camera lubricates regularly? huh, im afraid to ask about that. some roms jerky? no problems with the cam here.
Right. My English is bad. I've translated by Google. I've at the moment one+one port installed. The original camera app and the Google camera has the same problem. FC in foto and video after long time in use.

and you say that it happens not only on the 1+1 port, but on all roms and stock? have you tried clearing the data for the camera app? the only time ive seen force closes in the camera app, after long periods of use, was because of a storage issue. im not saying thats whats wrong, just some background.
Have you tried reflashing a stock rom?
I have now installed the latest build of m cm11 clean, and still jerky in photo and video. Only after I've gecleant the cache it goes back a while until it all begins again. Translated with Google translate
Have You tried changing the camera apk?

So, I recently flashed up to Android 4.0.4 from 2.2, and all is well, except I liked the previous system Camera app more. More settings, more digital zoom, et cetera, et cetera. I just want my old camera back. I was happier.
I did some searching, and found out that people think it would be difficult to do (would take some decompiling and such) and still may not work, but as far as I can tell, no one's actually tried.
Does anyone have any more information for me on how to go about getting the Froyo camera on ICS? I can get a hold of the two camera APKs. I just don't know what to do from there. Someone dropped a big hint in this thread, but that's still not enough information for me to go and try this myself if no one has already.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Have you tried any free camera apps from the Play store to see if they might fill your need?
It would be extremely difficult as it has twframework dependencies...something that is not available on any aosp/aokp rom...I'm not saying its impossible but it would take an experienced app and/or moder to get the job done...it would be cool to have a stock like ics rom but unfortunately there is no source for that...only for aosp...I've tried porting stock Samsung Roms in the past but was never really successful I think one time I got one to boot but after days of constant work I didn't get any farther...it was unuseable cause everything would force close...most likely due to missing libs that we don't have available
Also...they are system apks from two different os so compatibility will also play a roll in it

I was afraid it was as difficult as I've been reading. Sounds like so.
The biggest thing I miss is the zoom. With 4x zoom, even though just digital, I was able to take macro shots of textbooks all the time. I just bought (and returned)... what was it called, Camera Zoom FX. It did give me 6x zoom as promised, but it couldn't autofocus whatsoever.
The camera in this phone is capable of doing what I did most with it, taking photos of texts. But it seems the only app that allowed it to do so was on Froyo.
Do you think there'd be a way to hack the ICS camera app to supply more zoom?

Same thinking regarding porting 4.0.3 Camera as in Karbon A18 to my Micromax A100 Canvas which is having 4.0.4 ICS .The 4.0.3 have good autofocus and facedetection but the 4.0.4 is stock dumb crap. looking forward with you..
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?

I am writting this on the Gen Forum since I am a new user.
I am having issues with the 4.4.2 ROM. I love how light weight and non-sense it is but the camera is broken in the 12-25-2013 build. Even though the title of the rom thread says it does work, it doesnt. I am using JB cam from Market but would love to have the default KK app work.
I am also having issue with battery. I did a full charge with the phone off and it was down 20-25% after just a few hours of use. I didnt know if reseting the batt stats would help or is that just BS?
I DO LOVE the fact that MAP (Message Access Protocol) for Bluetooth is working in the ROM! Finally, my car (2013 Nissan Altima) can send text messages for me! This was supported by Android after 4.4 according to Wikipedia. Now I don't have to buy a new phone!
MODS: IF you need to move this, please do. Just know that I am a new user so I have not gotten my 10 posts...
Thanks for the help in advanced!

With 29.12. build camera is working again
There isnt any completly 'stable' KitKat stock camera ported yet... but we are getting there! The meaning of 'camera is working' is that previously camera didnt work at all with the first kitkat ports! It took some weeks to finally port a 'working' solution that alloves to use the camera!
in the meantime you can try to flash this gapps camera : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857
primary this stock camera is working! Few glitches here and there but at least you can take pics or record video and you dont need to install 3rd party apps!
Try this, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radcam.camera

The issue that I have now is that the camera only takes half a picture. its the strangest thing...

Thats what it looks like... its really odd... I have tried the stock camera after I just flashed the ROM (12/30/2013) after a FULL wipe of all partitions. I even tried the nexus camera as suggested and it failed in the same way
EDIT: Played around some more and the front camera is fine. Now the back camera is taking pics where there is a green bar in the middle and some there is slight distortion at the bottom. Then the grean bar is at the bottom... I am i the only unlucky one? haha
EDIT 2: Tried flashing the google camera and same thing. Is there something wrong with my phone?
Thanks for the help!
Did u Try latest build??
all camera Work
try a stock ROM to know if its only a ROM or an hardware issue
Get this ...
the panarama works, the globe view works, video works ..... yeah and now the camera works.... argh... dang it.... sorry... I will see if I can break it again... haha.
Thanks again
I think i got it figured out....
So it only happens with in the first couple load cycles after reboot.... then it mellows out or something....
anyway, I will keep an eye on it....
I have attached the image that I was talking about...
On 4.2.2 ROMS at first build of superXE ROM, it was the same thing, to solve that i remember we was able to instal FOCAL...
Maybe that's the way, try it
FOCAL (Beta)
It works on the latest [ROM][4.4.2][UNOFFICIAL]CarbonRom for Sensation[03 Jan]
I am on CM11 by android1234567 with Kernel 52 and for me the camera works fine.
Ok now I am totally lost.... haha. I just downloaded Focal and the camera looks great and the pictures are showing up in preview. Here is where is gets weird:
In the gallery, when I look at the picture in tile mode they all look fine and they have no errors. However, when I select one to view, I get blue shades, grey block, distortion, etc.
I am uploading the pics with this post.
I blurred a few things out that I did not want the whole world to see. Notice the purple in the bigger pic. When I look at the same pic on the computer it has the grey box and the purple what-ever-it-is.
I hope this helps in seeing my issue. And, yes, I have formatted my SD card a few times now. It is S-ON, HBOOT 1.27.00, bootloader unlocked.
Thank you for all your help!
use other app , for example snap camera
im using snap camera and it's perfect

Same here, with this Rom camera works well

its working just flash the PA stock Gapps and the camera should work fine
I have moved on to Venom 5.x
The camera works in that ROM just fine. I am just not sure what is wrong with the MAP feature of the Bluetooth.
I will create a new thread for that one.
Camera never did work no matter how I flash it. frustrating really. I will track both ROMs for fixes.

[CLOSE THREAD]
Hi guys,
I don't know if somebody had already created such thread, but I want to ask you if anybody know any app which allows me to use manual focusing, expositure, shutter speed and/or/will support RAW format. I know, lumia 1020 has such camera app, but I didn't find ported version
I have AOSP ROM, so I am unable to use LG G2's camera app, which allows me most of the things I've mentioned.
Look in the g2 forums, there is a flashable camera for aosp ROMs and works great on the g3.
In which thread it is or how its called?
EDIT I found the one you've mentioned. LG Stock Camera for AOSP ROMs
Could you post a link for reference? Thank you

If you're still looking for it, I'm using Mi2Raw Camera app for capturing RAW photos on my G2 with OptimusG3 ROM. It works great, you can also manually focus by tapping the screen or adjust the exposure. But the app itself still needs some work... I'm not sure if it's going to work on the G3, but you can try it as it works on G3-based ROMs.

Hi everybody. The camera is a big issue for everybody who use cm12. I checked already more than 10 cameta programs, but no one good solution. I tryed LG Camera for AOSP, its was done for LG G2, and that apk is working very good like stock apk. But on CM12 the apk not show setings, nothing at all, but in automatic mode that apk get the best pictures quality till yet. I hope somebody from developers will find solution for that big issue for all G3 ussers, because a lot of people buy that model because of good camera.

I have tried the app you had posted, but it seems like it does not work on LG G3, it showed me a message that "This app only works for LG G2, Xiaomi..." and some other phones.
I am now runing the AN HD ROM, because I had some troubles with the CM12 ROM - battery drain, heating up and my camera wasnt working at all (FC, camera freezed after taking pic with flash and the quality of the pics were really poor).
Thanks for the tips, tho.

sorry for being so late, here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540030
G3 doesnt support exposuretime and manual shutter.
Also manual focus is broken with l.
With l the camparameters returns exposuretime but its ignored when setting it to the cam.
That means for camera2 the g3 will stay as legacy device and will not have manual settings and dng support. We have to wait for the g4 to get full camera2 support. These are just my thoughts because i know that lg not cares about adding new features to old devices....

But it is software thing, not hardware.

Just want to ask, is it possible to shoot RAW on G3 with lolipoop? Have G3 support for camera API 2.0? Is it any change to find it out? Im using Mi2RAW but I will miss it on A5.0.
Try this (Open Camera) on CM 5.0
Very nice Camera n alot of setting good luck .
I wonder if anyone managed to get camera quality as god as stock roms :/ The camera is the only thing keeping me away from AOSP Roms...

im not quite sure what you mean, but the hwcamera from either honor8 or p9 are not working on a CM ROM. it needs libs to actually be shown as an installed app.
i tried every proper camera app: cameringo+, retrica, fv5, camera-fx, open camera
and even silly ones: 360, candy camera
all of the above either dont run at all, produce sub-par results since they dont address the camera api/kernel properly, and none can capture video properly at min 30fps.
as long as this very decent camera in this phones pricerange isnt properly used in custom ROMS, im not even bothering with any builds. its just a waste of time, when the core selling point for this phone isnt working properly.
id love to keep using resurrectionremix, since i love that ROM, but as mentioned above - waste

This is something you deal with when you CM/aosp based roms. People think they can have their cake and eat it to. This is not the case. CM has had bad camera code for years and they really can't do anything about it without recording their libs and system from the ground up.
