I've recently bought s7 (G930F) off eBay (upgrade from s4), flashed LineageOS and was shocked with poor camera performance vs stock TouchWiz one. I've tried some cameras from Play with no improvement, ended up flashing HTC Camera replacement floating around but it's got 2 issues as far as I can tell: can't use my sdxc card and its quality is still subpar to stock. I've been running AOSP on my devices for a long time so it's not the app - itcs the resulting images that are very grainy and blury.
Any advise/ideas on how to address camera issues on s7 in AOSP?
You have to use the stock camera app & touchwiz ROM for full camera quality, the drivers and framework required to drive the camera properly are only in the stock camera app which only runs on TouchWiz ROMs
You will never get full quality on AOSP ROMs no matter which camera app you use, it must be the stock Samsung camera app

4.4.1 dropped for N5 and it came with huge camera improvements including HDR and HDR+ modes. According to the N5 threads the new camera works on CM11 (for us AOSPers) but I tried it and I get FFC reboot and main camera is really laggy. Is it portable? Will this camera update be able to be included in other AOSP roms? Or is it and update specifically for the N5?

Hi all,
So I purchased the One for my wife, while I'm using the Nexus 5 on Stock ROM (rooted and all).
I decided to install a nightly build of CM of Lollipop 5.0.1 (unofficial). Doing so, I had the default Google camera app.
The only thing I can say is, "It's CRAP"!
The OnePlus has a great camera H/W installed, yet the Google camera app does it ****ty reputation since I got these 1 year old focus issues as I'm getting with my Nexus 5 on the same app. I do realize it's the app more than the H/W of OnePluse One. Yet , I was really in shock when I realized that the image quality and video quality are so bad that when you take videos, you see how the camera keeps hunting for focus on a bright day sunny day.
Is this something you experience as well? Do you have any recommendations on a good camera app that takes images without delays and no focus hunting?
Hi guys
I have a OnePlus inbound and asked myself this: Users of about every single device from every single manufacturer have to make due with a worsened camera quality experience when moving away from stock ROMs to AOSP-based or vanilla Android builds. This is usually due to closed-source implementation of proprietary camera features which can only be enabled or accessed when using the stock camera app on a stock ROM etc and holds true for Sony, Samsung, LG and probably many more. Even Nexus-devices under certain circumstances. Usually caused by post-processing and image enhancement mechanisms to go haywire and (native/hardware) HDR being absent, resulting in much worsened image quality when taking pictures.
Is the OnePlus One also affected? When moving away from CM11S to AOSP, CM11, CM12 or ParanoidAndroid, will the camera experience be worse or are the OnePlus camera features documented well enough, so that custom ROMs can maintain the stock camera quality?
Thanks for answers.
You can use the CM11S camera on any ROM for this device.

No decline in quality when switching back and forth between whatever ROM fits this device then.
Good to head and thanks for answering.
I have been trying out Snap Camera to see if it's better then the stock camera. So far I'm a bit disappointed. HDR mode is slower and it can't even focus right. I tried multiple times to take a picture outdoors of my cat with Snap Camera on HDR and it was out of focus every time even though i touched to focus. Using the stock camera on the first try came out perfect. Does anyone else use this camera app and what settings did you use to work good with the Galaxy S7? And what custom HDR settings are good for this phone? I tried using the Samsung setting in the options and also the Camera 2 setting. I've never had good luck or was comfortable with 3rd party camera software in the past. It always seems like the stock camera apps are better and more integrated with the phones. thanks.
anyone?

Not really, mainly the same experience that in the end nothing beats the stock camera... Tried a few in the past, but somehow always go back to stock. Not so much that the quality is worse, mainly usability or possibilities...

I know. I just tried A Better Camera and just when I thought I liked it panaramic mode failed to work properly every time. I don't know why 3rd party cameras don't work good on these phones. I was trying to see if I would like any in case I needed more control if I get a Pixel.
stock camera is the best
i have tried almost all available camera apps.
but i keep coming back to stock camera app for quality.
I guess its best tuned for the hardware

Correct. There's a lot of fancy stuff going on in the stock camera; They have all kinds of FPGA binary images and different scene modes (e.g. night, sport, ... ) all fitted to the hardware.
I can't use miui at all, it droves me crazy, using pixel experience is incredible on this phone but the quality 9f the camera is awful, is there a way yet to port the original camera to a custom rom?
You can use ANX Camera white PixelExpierence - although you have to root your phone and not everything works a the moment...
