Photo quality on LineageOS - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Could somebody with the Nougat/Oreo LineageOs build installed some example photos taken by the camera. I'm just really curious about it, cause I heard it's bad or not as good as on the stock rom(yeah of this I'm pretty sure but still) and i cannot find some anywhere

Yea it's cos the TouchWiz ROM has camera frameworks that are built into the ROM and can't be ported to AOSP.
There's some comparisons from the HTC camera port thread which is what most people recommend to use on S7 AOSP ROM's

Not sure if it'd work but you could try installing the HTC camera while still on TW and compare with the stock camera.

Well I managed to install the HTC camera app. Well I don't see much of a difference when it comes to simple photos, except that light focusing on HTC app does not seem to work. Though I wonder if still HTC camera app is not using the TW framework, is it possible?

Yea wasn't sure if third party apps benefit from the TW camera API or something.
You could always do a full TWRP backup, flash Lineage, and if the camera sucks just restore your backup.

Port the camera ?

Is there anyway to port the the original camera from the Samsung captivate to the miui ROM.?

I miss the touchwiz camera, it's so superior.
To put it simply, no. I would think out had something to do with it being a Samsung thing. One if the biggest problems cm developers had was getting a camera to work. Since MIUI is built off of cm7, you figure it out.
Miui and CM based rom's use the same open source drivers. The default device camera's. Like the Samsung camera and HTC camera will never work as they need the proper device drivers and framework. I heard the MIUI camera is good. Ill never use it my self but you could give it a shot
I use the MIUI camera occasionally, and its not bad, for a 5mp camera with no flash.

[Req] AOSP ICS Camera

I am wondering why all "senseless" 4.0.1/4.0.3 ROMs include the HTC camera instead of the AOSP one. Only exception being HyperNonSense v2.0 beta.
The camera included in HNS 2.0 is quite stable...it has no JPG compression and works just fine. Could it be tweaked to allow higher HD video bitrates and eventually get panorama mode running?
Any devs/cookers/modders actually willing to take some time and check it out?
PS - The camera itself as a separate APK i haven't found anywhere except as an addon (http://www.multiupload.com/OAFG3VSWSI) for webstar1's Ultimite 4.0.1 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406322)
I'm not too sure but there's more drivers and stuff as well as the apk.
Also I belive its linked to the HTC lock screen but I night be wrong? Plus I don't think the devs have have managed a pure AOSP port or build I think trip is closest until cm9 is released which I can't wait for but seems to be taking a long time due to the additions within ics ,
I have the ics stock cam on trips rom which is nearly pure AOSP but only camera works for pics I can't video record as its not 100% compatible but I'm not worried I love this rom its fast and pure with no sense

[Q] Better Camera?

The Inspire camera, in my opinion had some of the best phone camera quality I has ever done seen, but when I switched over to cyanogenmod, the camera quality went completely down hill... Is there anyway I can get the sense camera back but keep cyanogenmod?

Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984279 it's good
I actually use my inspire camera for many quality assurance pictures at work. i use the camera app built into my ics rom. but on gingerbread i found camerazoom to be amazing.
I installed the BlackICE rom in an attempt to get better battery life,
and because its based on CyanogenMod it was missing the stock Inspire
camera, it does have MIUI camera but I don't like it as good as the
stock camera, I have Camera Zoom FX, but I just don't like it ether,
I did find one camera app I like, its called LGcamera, but try the
free version first, as some people seem to have problems, but it works
good for me.
I use LeeDroid and I actually like the camera more now than on my stock ROM, I don't use a third party app. Maybe try it and see if it works for you if you haven't already.

[Q] Camera pictures quality in AOSP ROMs

I have flashed some AOSP ROMs like CM and Kang and the although the camera works the quality of pictures especially in low light is terrible.
I have tested a couple of times taking pictures with CM and then the same picture with stock Sense. The ASOP pictures come out with a greenish hue.
This leads to my question, is this something the Devs can improve with time or is this a trade-off of not using a ROM based on the Sense framework?

It can be improved, but there are much more important things to do/fix as of now. And it may require a lot of work. It is at the bottom of a lot of developer's lists.
yeah I totally respect the Devs work and for the most part just wondered if it was technically possible.
thanks for the answer.
Will wait patiently..lol
Same I am very thankful to the Dev's.
Curiously though, so it seems that my best bet is to root my phone but to keep the stock ICS android on it becuase otherwise I lose sense4 and the supposedly better camera software htc preinstalled on it?
Thanks so much! cheers.

If you like sense, then stick with the Sense-based ROMs. As for the camera, the hardware is still fully capable of taking the same quality pictures whether you are using AOSP or Sense ROMs.
The camera software is different in AOSP and may not have all of the features included in Sense (yet) and the picture quality might be a little worse off in AOSP, but the AOSP ROMs are still in alpha. The developers are working hard to create a stable, fully functional AOSP ROM... it's just going to take a little time. It doesn't hurt to try the AOSP roms out and see for yourself, just don't expect everything to be working flawlessly.

[Q] Alternative to AOSP/CM10 Camera?

The biggest reason for me to keep using the stock ROM on the GS3 is the fact that the camera found on CM10 (The ROM I'm currently running) blows hard.
Is there a decent alternative? I hope there's something, I'm really beginning to miss Sense

I agree. The AOSP camera blows. I wish the stock camera was available for AOSP. I don't have a link but you can search development for the 4.2 camera. It has some cool features and quality is as good as stock for me. Photosphere is neat. Make sure you get the gallery for 4.2 also. Should come as a package. Hope this helps.
