So with Galaxy S7 not recieiving updates for awhile, thought i'd update it with custom ROMs, tried LineageOS etc
First thing i noticed was the camera app they replaced the OG with the quality is awful (in photos and videos)
Did some research and came across LightROM which is based on OneUI 1.0 and includes the great stock Samsung camera app
Sadly this ROM stopped recieving updates since 2020
Is there no other currently updated ROM that includes the good camera app or somehow i missed?
Thanks
I am in the same boat. Did you find the one has the stock camera?

I tried this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-10-0-oneui-2-5-g930x-g935x-n930x-n935x-floydq-v6-0.4085667/
It uses stock camera.
However, I am struggling with IME and babaseband issue. When you do be careful.

Many AOSP based ROMs aren't compatible with blur based apps. I think it has something to do with the libs.
saw this gonna give it a try

does anyone know if I flash an update to viper (1.7.1 to 1.8.0) if it reflashes the camera app? There's no way to know which camera I"m using but I like Jishnu's better haha

i would imagine that when you re flash or update to a new version that it would put the stock camera back on there. how do you like the camera by the way?
Btw, fastest way to know if Jishnu's camera is installed is to switch to night mode and see if you can toggle the flash. Jishnu's can while stock cannot.
Viper updates are usually pretty small and do not update the entire rom framework so I'd have to open it to find out but cntryby429 has an easier solution haha
Hello, I've tried various custom lollipop roms in the past few months and they all had problems. My personal observation is that the stock rom has always been more stable and superior and that I could not see any real functionality benefit with custom roms...Perhaps prism is the best one compared to all others.
Am I the only person here who has reached this conclusion?
Yes

You are right, if you have life out of your mobile phone then stock ROM is the best otherwise waste your life in never ending process of flashing and modding your phone......lolz. There will be a stage when you'll be happy that CM12.1 is half stable but then Android M will be out.
the stock ROM is much stable but it not so fast like custom, anyways you can try to use a custom for a while and decide what is the best for you
I also experienced that in costom always has a bugs... I using stock firmware together with Nova Launcher...
Stock here - 5.0.1 stable, smooth and fast. Don't see any point in changing.... And I used to be a big modder!
I tried cm 12.1 and returned to stock because it bored me. It didn't give me what I wanted. It's a bit overestimated. Rooting and flashing makes me addicted to phone. Never ending process. Always wanting more. Stick to original and enjoy.
Yes I agree with you till some point. Till now I have tried almost every rom out there for my 9505, but almost always I am coming back to stock. According to me and the current situation there are only two custom roms that are really providing stock stability and I have seen not a single bug, so they can be daily drivers. They are the current version of Danvdh's gpe rom (with the couple of the previous ones I had minor issues. At least after LP came out) and the second and the one where I have never experienced any single bug in no single version of it (LP or KK), and that is the TW rom from iB4stid (sadly he will not develop for 9505 anymore), goldeneye (and also goldenfinger in the time of KK). However goldeneye is almost same as stock so maybe thats why I like it.
The benefit that I see from using the goldeneye despite stock rom is that you can always use the latest rom relased but again stiching to the modem version of the operator that I am using my phone with (I do not have good experience with flashing separate modem packages), with that taking the best of both worlds. In this situation you have the modem that works best with your carrier and the latest base from samsung that has the same stability as the stock one.
Danvdh' gpe rom is good for me when I am tired from TW but again having very very stable and fast rom. Ive even have better battery life and I can say it is the snappiest rom out there. It is beyond Goldeneye regarding that criteria.
The only concern is surely that Samsung aren't going to release Android M for GS4? Just won't happen will it?
hi, i just bought i9505 , i want to install a custom rom but i hesitate.
Currently my i9505 is very stable and responsive with Stock rom based on lollipop 5.0.1
can you please tell me if is it a good idea to change to custom rom or not ? i want try UPSM and others mod
What is advantage if i change rom ?
is it easy to come back to stock if i decide to try custom rom ?
Thank you in advance
I've tried both custom and stock roms and I am now using a stock rom because I also own a Samsung Gear 2 Neo, which only works properly on the stock rom for now...

The problem with stock lollipop rom is that it doesn't have conference call feature. That's why I am staying away.

I thought I had seen that feature on Stock Lollipop? hmm, maybe not. Still, it's a niche feature (I actually work in business where conference calls are regular and we use a bridge), and as put Skype and Hangouts do it pretty well too.
hello there first post so dont shoot me
im using nexus 5 about 4 years now as my daily driver and i tried many roms.
right now i have android 8.1 via liquidremix.
My biggest problem is camera. nexus 5 has a pretty ****ty camera right from the beggining but since nougat it starts to get annoying. i think it has to do with camera drivers.
can anyone enlight me wich version of android i must use for the best quality photos? is there any nougat or oreo roms that using their own drivers or marshmallow is the only way?
and if i must go to marshmallow i must use a factory image based rom or no?
please any specific rom recomendations will be very helpfull

I have a feeling that you use whatever camera comes with the ROM.
I have no problem with the camera, I use Google camera 3.2.xx, and even hdr works. ROM? AEX 8.1
I don't think there's any needs to go back to MM, but it's your choice.

Hey I am newbie here on XDA and wanna try out new roms on my phone (OP Nord), Is there any way of installing stock OOS camera on custom roms? the preinstalled camera on Lineage Os is just ok, tried Gcam also but i prefer the results from stock camera app. This the only thing which is stopping me from using custom rom and i reinstalled oxygen os back again using MSM tools and i miss the overall stock android feel and customizability of custom roms.
I'm interested too.... Anyway you know how to turn back to oxygen?

In what way was it bad? Im seconds away from flashing lineageos on my oneplus nord
Was the quality bad, didn't all cameras work or was it purely GUI-wise?

In my opinion is bad the lineage one because I cannot use all the secondary cameras of the phone. I tried also with Google camera but I have the same problem

Sorry if I'm stupid now, but couldn't you just download the apk from like apkmirror and sideload it?

No that doesn't work OnePlus camera needs some Oxygen Os API to work , sideloading just the apk won't work.

The pics taken from lineage os stock camera are no way comparable to the stock cam pics, its like taking photos using whatsapp's camera remember how bad that look. Also there are a lot of features missing its not actually meant to be used for specifically in nord it was made as a generic app to be used in any lineage os build. It gets the work done but quality is very low. Gcam over saturates the image I don't know how people are using it in my experience gcam never gave a better results than Oxygen Os cam. Just for this reason I reverted back to Oxygen Os using MSM tools. As far as I remember OnePlus 7 series also had this problem where custom rom's camera weren't able to produce high quality images. So custom rom maker started putting original Oxygen Os cam in the rom itself I don't know how they did it, but I hope some does the same for the nord untill then custom rom for Nord can not be used as daily driver.
