Hey guys, new comer here.
So I've flashed lineage os 15.1 and it has been doing great, but the battery life is worse than that on latest global stable version of MIUI. Do you guys have any good suggestions? (Also tell me how to root Resurrection Remix if you're suggesting it, I tried but failed)
Also, all 3rd party camera apps (those I tried at least) can't take long exposure shots (longer than 4 seconds) and they're buggy to say the least. On that front, I missed MIUI since the stock camera can take shots up to 32sec shutter speed with ease. Do you guys have a fix for that?
Hope my questions got answered and happy modding guys.

Hi guys, I'm writing in the name of my girlfriend: she has got this phone and, after we have flashed a cm rom, the camera sucks. I know camera is usually better in stock rom but this time the difference is abysmal! The problem is: she doesn't want to downgrade to stock rom (stock rom presents the SoD and ridiculous battery performance) but she would a better camera. I suggested open camera, a better camera and other ones but photos quality is still really poor. I think the real problem is the rom. Is there any mode porting stock camera (libraries, I think) to cm roms? Thanks for your attention

Stock rom's camera works only on TouchWiz roms...so it won't work on AOSP based roms

In galaxy grand duos thread have some mods for camera that improve camera quality in my opinion
I have been getting a bit frustrated. I'm not sure if its a CM 12.1 issue, or just a hardware + lollipop issue.
Here is my opinion on cameras that 'work' with the rom, but have issues.
1. Stock CM 12.1 camera. Has known "cannot connect' issue. I believe this ASOP camera is the same as the Google Camera. Each version seems to have small tweaks /settings, but IMHO this camera lacks tons of useful features other stock cameras have. These are useful if all you care about is point and shoot, versus filters, scenes, etc.. I am lumping Google Camera in this, even though the icons are different.
2. OpenCamera. This is the one I am currently using, and seems to be stable for me, and I am running Nightly 12.1 July 15 nightly with DKP kernel (tweaked) and july 13 GAPPS. My only gripe is I still feel like the quality of the pics isn't what you get with stock, but also the delay between pics is annoying, as opposed to Google Camera which gives you pretty instantaneous snaps. Even with the thumbnail animation disabled, there is a 1/2 - 1 sec delay between pics.
3. Someone recommended the HTC Camera. I was able to find a series of APK versions from googling, and this camera had really good promise. You did need the HTC Gallery for it to work, BUT..and this was the deal breaker, the front camera broke for me. The front camera only worked, for a short time, with the most recent HTC Camera version...but would eventually freeze, and couldn't even force close. A reboot was required. Very annoying.
It would be awesome if we could flash another stock camera app in this, like the S4, S5, S6, etc.
Any other recommendations besides apps from the Play Store?

It was in the KK builds also but some of the ROMs in KK had fully functioning camera but it went crap again with CM12.
I installed the FL-5 Camera and Cinema apps, paid for both. So far I am enjoying them and feel the quality and speed is great.
Camera 360 works suitably well. Solid filters and features if bloated. Its a veteran app and has seen its worst days long behind them. The magic skin filter is the best on android. Black is the color of Korean selfie sorcery. You purchase beauty but at what cost? Your soul of course, and an excessive UI.
A better camera is my personal go to.

Be weary when flashing or porting camera apk's and firmware.
Basically a few weeks ago I hard bricked my SCH-I535 by flashing the wrong firmware for the camera to try to get it to work. So my only caution to you is the be absolutely sure the firmware of apk is compatible. I tried to port the firmware for the galaxy S5 to the S3 however I think the difference in firmware is what caused the problem. I extracted the S5 firmware for the stock camera app and then zipped it and signed it to be flashed on the S3. Well I knew what I had done when the phone buzzed once and never turned on again. I had an unlocked boot loader running CM 12.1 (if I remember correctly) and had CWM set as my custom recovery.
I wish you luck in your quest to find a working camera app for your S3. I know I wish I still had mine to fiddle with and maybe even downgrade while we wait for a solution to the non-working lollipop camera.
Hey, everyone.
This might be more of a question for the CyanogenMod Forums, but I thought I'd ask here anyways, just to try and cover all my bases.
I recently (as in yesterday) flashed my phone with CyanogenMod 12.1 (running Lollipop 5.1.1) from stock Android, and I've noticed that the camera app isn't quite what I grew used to.
I'm not sure if this is a CyanogenMod camera, or if it's the newest version of Android's default camera, but I really don't care for it... The UI is different, the picture quality seems to somehow be absolutely terrible, and gone is the ability to hold the camera button down and have it take multiple shots in rapid succession.
Is there a way for me to get back the old version of the camera without having to downgrade my version of Android and/or go back to stock Android instead of CyanogenMod? If not, can anyone recommend a good, popular camera app to use in its place?
Thanks!
Hi,
As said my camera on any official xiaomi Rom sometimes (well, most of time) takes this kind of pitures: i.imgur.com/LyXURSv.jpg , i.imgur.com/uRGBrJt.jpg
It is blurry and unfocused but it is not a hardware problem because SOMETIMES i get really nice, sharp picture. Does anyone from you know any solution? It would be very helpful, thank you!

Mine also take blurry panorama pics

MI4I back camera blurry problem
Hi,
I am also using MI4I. And I am also facing this problem after software update. There is no problem in hardware. There was no such problem in v6.5.6.0 rom. After update I am getting this problem.
Check this:
http://en.miui.com/thread-137877-1-1.html
MIUI peoples does not have any fix till now.
So you have two solutions:
1. Rollback to v6.5.6.0 ROM
2. Install any other custom ROM
Thanks
Hi everyone. I recently flashed a new ROM on this device trying to escape from the overheating, I was expecting a proper camera app but I only found bugs.
I tried Pixel Cam V1.1, I used it on MIUI and it was great but on RROS it became unusable.
Gcam MGC 8.1 by BSG worked but it only recognizes one sensor of 8mpx.
Also the UltraCVM UltraCam but it has so many bugs with lights that is unusable.
The chosen one was Tiger Camera Xmas release, it's almost perfect but trying panorama mode makes it unusable, fortunately the 2x and more are stable.
But I ask for someone that probably have tried another apps or xml config files.
I am considering install the MIUI stock camera from ANX but the POCO X3 isn't listed as compatible device and I don't want to root my phone to be honest. But if someone know about one functional version I will apply it as last resource.
I'm opening this thread to know your opinion, I researched on Gcam thread but it has too many versions that I've tried. I really liked all the sensors and the 64mpx so I need to find an app that takes me closer to use the full camera experience.
FYI, there a whole thread dedicated to Cams at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/4164397/.

Yeah thanks, I put the same above "I'm opening this thread to know your opinion, I researched on Gcam thread but it has too many versions that I've tried" everybody are talking about updates of the updates with different dates and versions
