you cant exactly upgrade camera since its a hardware except you wish to replace it entirely. as it stands, the best you can do is to optimize it using a third party camera app

Rooting would kind'a open the camera up to more tweaks by a custom ROM or ROOT camera app but rooting alone wont improve your camera

Hi there, i'm currently using the ICS DS v4.3 which is very nice ROM and stable. A few days ago, I had trouble with the font camera while using Skype, it functioned properly but after 10-15' it just . . . gone. in order to make it work again I have to kill the Skype apps and log in again to use it. I already installed the HTC_camera_fix patch but no use, are there anyone who have same problem?
(sorry if my English is hard to understand)
Dude read the FAQs of you ROM before you install it...

- Front camera not work.
Front camera can dont work in first start. You need start Camera.apk again and choose front camera mode.

That means you have to open the camera app and close it, then open it again and front camera should work till next reboot.
Hi, i've installed the last update of Lineage OS (8.1), but the camera app is too bad. I tried with some porting of Google Camera etc, but most of them crash for different reasons and I did't find a good solution.
Is there a camera app, or a zip mod that I can install by recovery, to get a better shot (or at least, like the stock app of the Samsung Experience)?

there's no portrait mode in this version :/
edit: not true, lol, is there
I use this version from miniuser:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xH3yLwrt5ZIkcTqGg-xxepHHMd5W8YfF/view?usp=sharing
Works great for me. Make sure the gcam is set to Nexus 6 Hdr+ auto ( settings-> advanced-> config camera hdr+).
For video recording you will have to select camcorder.h265 in developer settings (settings -> developer settings)
Here is a pdf from IDan with info about the gcam:

When I tap on switch camera, the app crashes. is there a fix?
Can't seem to find one that will open
Hi
I yesterday installed lineage 15.1 on my s7 Edge.. What a fantastic rom. It feels so much faster and smoother to me than stock oreo.
I have installed it with no gapps and have rooted . I wanted to use Google camera as a replacement but every one I have tried force closes immediately (must have tried 20 or more based on recommendations here, in reddit and elsewhere).
Any suggestions on how to get this working? What puzzles me is that others seem to have it working. Maybe because I haven't flashed gapps?
Thanks in advance
Whatsapp and Instagram camera issue - bad quality
Semi OT: is there a fix for the bad processing and quality of the Whatsapp and Instagram (specially with the Stories) camera?
With android oreo you need to have the "google service framework" apk installed for google apps. You can install the attached app or you can search for it on apkmirror. After installation you can freeze the app with titanium backup.

I think not, as of for now, but the dev had already found the problem and made some improvement, but still in progress, hopefully in the next LOS update there will be good news for camera.
-update-
The update for LOS is done already, you might wanna try do dirty flash over existing build. and update here for the result (i can't update right now).

How's the battery life compared to stock?
No updates?
Which version gcam will work on Lineage 16? (I have a black screen or FC with links here)

I wouldn't say that there is a very big difference. ( 30+ minutes on lineage)

I don't think that's the problem, I flashed gapps and there isn't any camera app in app drawer. So, I am not able to use camera app and flashlight.
Hi All,
I got tired of waiting for HTC to update my U11 that was still on Android 8.0 so i came back on beloved XDA after a few years of desertion (first phone i flashed was HTC Magic, almost 10 years ago) and installed Lineage OS 16 on this U11.
It all works great, thanks to developpers, except that i cannot record at 1080p/60fps any more. The google camera app doesn't have the option, and the HTC camera crashed when i select 60fps.
Is this a known issue of the rom or is there a fix ?
Thanks !

Using a LOS based Pie rom, a developer suggests using this version, I just tested it and all functionality seems to be working with this version

Thank you ! For some weird reason, i wasn't able to install the recommended app. At the end of the install i'd get the message "App not installed". I tried a few more and the only one that worked so far is the Gcam Lite 6.1, which does record in [email protected] fps !!
I suspect the MGC camera apks try to update my actual install of Google camera and it fails to do so, as the Gcam lite installs a new one. I tried to uninstall the Google camera but i guess i would need to root the phone for this ?

That's correct, you would need to uninstall gcam completely for the recommended version to work.
If your current install came with your rom, and that's what it sounds like, it's probably a system app, and can only be removed with root
