Those files should be exactly the same as the stock roms, if not worst.
CM haven't changed anything yet when it comes to the camera quality.
Okay , damn, i really want to improve our camera to how good the camera quality is in froyo , also as you have cynogeMod installed on your phone , have you seen any difference in the quality of photos: between Gingerbread roms (aka Thai03D& Acura) and CynogenMod??

I would say that the camera app is better in cyanogenmod. The focusing. other than that, I can't see a big difference.
Our camera hardware isn't really the best compared to the SGS2.
Apologies if this is answered in a FAQ somewhere. I have a G3 on CM 12.1 but the camera quality is not great. I know tha camera on the OPO is not world class but on stock it genereally is considered "good". Is it still good on CM12.1 or are you forced to revert to google camera or sometning worse? What about on OxygenOS? I'm assuming it works good on Oxygen as that is the current stock firmware.
I'm not concerned about 4k but would like good quality 1080P along with nice stills. Slow motion and good pan-ams would be nice.
Thanks!
I have both OPO and Google camera installed. I used them interchangeably. If I need a landscape shot, I will use OPO camera, if portrait, I tried to experiment. For quick shots with my son, I used the Google camera.

You can still use CameraNext (the stock camera) on CM12.1 and it'll perform as well as on the stock firmware, even recording video in 4K if you want to. I believe you can use CameraNext on Oxygen but you won't have 4K video.
ok, thanks for the replies. To make sure I understand, CameraNext is the camera that ships on the OPO as stock and you are saying that it works just as well on CM12.1. So, given that many sites indicate that the camera on the OPO is good (not great) the camera really shouldn't let me down.
Trying to decide if I should sell the G3 and get a OPO.
Thanks for the feedback

The camera works fine, but in low-light conditions the images are pretty noisy.
I dont know about you guys but I belive the MIUI camera is excellent, it has fast shutter speed and image processing. I have tried a lot of camera apps when I was on CM rom and none of them could match it.
Other members are welcome to donate (I will update the post) and to start of I will be putting $10 in the bounty for anyone who can port the MIUI camera to CM.

There are another options, as the OPO cam that has been ported to many devices, or the Cyanogen Camera, that it's which I have been using till now. That last is very good, it has many options to configure, including HDR and Slow-Mo video recording in HD. It's in another thread of xda.

I flashed the one from here (ver 5.8 ) and its working great, with very good picture quality (i would say its like stock miui camera, only some options dont work). What i find very cool is the "moving people" Option. It realy takes clear pictures, even if someone is moving fast (good when you have a little child, which never stands still ). With this Option i get shuttertimes faster than 1/300 sec.
I only miss the HDR PRO Option from miui camera.
Thanks @ekkilm for the tip and the link in your forum on your Website

Thanks, I was on 3.6 and thought I'll try 5.8 and I can confirm the shutter speed is definitely faster than 3.6 so I'm happy with that. Which rom you on now?
After a few tests, indoor at lowlight, miui takes clearer photos I.e. better focused.
I'll try this when I try cm at some point but I'm still hoping for a miui camera port.

Can somebody port Xperia Z4 camera?
I would also donate 20$ via Paypal for the port.
It's not about the handling/design of the MIUI camera app. It's more about the (probably closed-source) libraries to use all features of the Sony camera/lense and to get the best picture quality.
Try the oppo camera: it is the best. Dont forget install plugins. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/themes-apps/port-coloros-camera-cm11s-t3030369

thanks for recommendation
for me it's far better than MIUI or lenovo super camera, as it doesn't use so aggressive noise reduction which is especially visible at higher ISO levels - for me, MIUI camera smears away way too much detail.
also, the shutter speed seems very good
_________
EDIT: a bug found!
after you run oppo camera, all camera apps use only warmer flash, the colder one stays off, some camera apps don't enable the flashlight at all (even if you force the flash) - like CameraMX. only the system torch works properly
can't tell what's the reason, but as soon as you uninstall the oppo camera app, both leds return to normal work

The Cyanogen Camera does seem to work very well. Thank you for pointing me there. Shutter sound can not be disabled, but that can be fixed.
How did you manage to get slow-motion working?
Will try Opo Cam as well.

Maybe you could point us in a direction where we can get the plugins? They have been taken down due to DMCA claim.
Opo cam is not that good. some plugins crash the app, overall it is not as good as Cyanogen Camera imo. Are there any other good alternatives?
And yes, would be nice if miui cam got ported.
Full Potential
I was looking through some files from the EU weekly ROM and found some interesting files. As you can see in the image there is files in system/vendor/lib such as imx258_HFR_120. HFR stands for high frame rate and 120 suggests 120fps recording while the stock camera app for me seems to record at about 49 fps at 720p. The specifications of the camera sensor found here: http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/IS/sensor1/img/products/ProductBrief_IMX258_20151015.pdf say the sensor is capable of 1080p at 60fps. Can someone please try unlock the full potential of our camera?

Isn't it used for the slow motion? The full HD is indeed consistent at 29-30 fps and 4K videos are nearly half of it, not sure about 720p though.
That's what I mean, I only get 49fps at slow motion and other camera apps can't record at higher than 30fps.
i'm using cm and i miss a feature from my previous smiui.
in smiui i could take pics while pressing volume down.
i like to take a quick photo without wasting time.
i looked around and just found those spy stuff things but nothing like the miui feature.
would it be possible to port this with the original camera ?
i would also donate some money (10€ or more) for a port of these features.
Noob to this.
So I let me try to understand this:
When I flash a ROM, for some reason, everything pretty much works as intended aside from the CAMERA?
Something about camera blobs?
Why isn't the camera being copied from the stock (official / factory) ROM?
Thanks!

I am running official LineageOS.
First, camera will force-close if I use HDR.
Second, the quality seems to be pretty lacking compared to what I remembered from the old days of using the 1 (see here also: http://bit.ly/2AhBe5T)
Third, as I try to read and learn, I came across this "camera blobs" thingy/issue. What is that? Is this because the OEM won't release camera source code? So devs have to build their own (which is not as good)? Or am I way off?
Thanks again!
yeah you're right they're usually closed source but the opos one is made by cm so linage is using the exact same. The color os blobs is what the Chinese version used which is far more superior also sultan has a modified oxygen os one. My personal favourite is the color os one by miles because the front camera on snapchat isnt soft/smudged looking. I cant use Anything with the linageos/cm blobs/hal, its such a downfall for me personally.

Let me ask: is it not possible to get the official OxygenOS camera on my LineageOS 14.1 ROM?
PS - why do the OEM not allow this? Why do they close the source code? To keep their intellectual property since they developed it)?
Also pinging the helpful @Mr.Ak

They can't release it due to copy rights i think? I'm not sure, and theres 3 oxygen os drivers. The first one which was open sourced (the one sultan uses), the 2nd which is pretty much ignored and the 3rd from the oneplus X port (nearly everyone prefers this one).
I dont like the port one due to lack of 4k in recording, the laggy view frame and i cant notice any quality difference between that and the color os one.
And for your question, there is a way after flashing things but personally i wouldnt do it due to linage not being coded for it.
My honest and best solution is to flash AEX sultanized : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195923064
It's a very well built rom, fluid and everything works great and was my daily rom until i switched phones. Its very well rounded, not exactly the best at EVERYTHING, but its the best well rounded rom.
But if you want color os then go with ommi but i dont rate that rom personally, quite sluggish and plain, doesnt offer much except from the camera.
And if you wanna try the oxygen driver from the opx port then XOS unofficial will be your best bet, ill give it to them that rom has by far the best battery by miles BUT the performance is a major hit.
I'd suggest sultans rom too but AEX is more fluid and offers much more features (if you're into it, i wasnt but i did find some useful stuff)

price was VERY similar +i get 12 months proper warranty + i get to examine the phone before buying, burn in was a big concern for me so this was a huge benefit.
And honestly its such an upgrade in every single aspect except from the speaker (single)

Hey guys and girls,
just wanted to know if the gcam mod for op6 will get better when Google releases the official gcam app for the pixel 3. or will it be easier for developers to get better results for the op6 gcam mod?
will the devs of gcam mod stop their work on the present mod because it is based on the sd835 gcam app? if so then why do the devs even work on the mod now and up until the official sd845 gcam app instead of saying "there will be no gcam mod for the op6 until Google releases the official gcam app for the pixel3 (sd845). we will begin working on this project once the 845 app is available".
are the devs working on the gcam mod just because they are so kind/helpful/... that they spend lots of their free time just to get a working mod right away instead of waiting for the actual app that Google will release shortly? or will all the development into the present app help the devs once the sd845gcam.app is out?
And when did Google release the gcam app for the pixel 2 last year - together with the phone release or was the software available before the phone release?
lots of questions,
would love some clarification!
thanks so much,
v.
The whole thread belongs in the original thread. How a forum should work, so you speak to the developers directly..
1: it might
2: it might
3: they would probably stop using that base.. But keep some things in the code. (might)
4. Well... There are things you just don't know if they even will work properly or not when developing something. There are people in this world that just want to TRY make stuff better or just have fun with it. It's like saying there is no need to save people from starving because we will never succeed... And we therefore don't even care for trying..
5. Sigh... .. Peace out.
thx for answering,
I did think about posting my questions in the thread you mention. but I figured it's too much off topic. I didn't want to interrupt the actual development thread as I'm not helping the thread with useful info regarding the mod.
thanks for your reply,
v.
Well, it's good but the autofocus is slow and not accurated, sometimes got tint pic and the Portraid Mod is bugged (crashed and freeze). Other than that, the CameraAPI is not used so no full features like 4K 60fps etc. and more scalable resolution for photo camera.
This is a very important question, to the point if i keep the phone or not....

Why is camera API not used ?
On old days of OP1 they ported from Find 7 (Camera 2.67)...
Maybe from Oppo R15?
