Hi all,
I saw that this device is on the open projects from Sony and basically you can download and flash the AOSP version from their official site.
My question is if the camera quality is like for the stock one or it get worse like for other ROMs?
Thanks

I am new to installing new roms on phones and I am wondering when you install a new rom for example on a sony z3 or samsung note 4 does it affect the great camera performances of the phones since the companies have their own ways of camera processing? I really need the feedback before I start installing new roms Thanks everybody
Hi there,
Those issues mainly depends on the developers of the roms you are flashing!
If you're installing a stock based rom, then your camera should be fine! But if you're flashing an CM/AOSP based rom, your camera might have glitches here and there.
About what device are you talking about?
Thanks
Hi everyone,
New in town and wanted to ask some questions .
I'm thinking of updating my i9100 with the latest snapshot (stable as it goes) of cm 12.1 from the cyanogenmod guys.
1. Is there anyone that can guide me through any known issues/bugs related to this version of cm and this specific device?
2. Secondly, i looked through the internet and most people say that the only negative about this rom is the camera app (google camera i presume...). They say that the quality of the pictures is far less than the samsung stock camera. Is this true? And if yes, is there not a possibility to install another camera app (point me to one if you please) in the cm rom instead of using the cm google camera? Or maybe you could point me to the exact stock samsung camera app of 4.1.2 that i currently own and install it after the update...?
Thanks in advance. Looking forward for your answers.

1. for questions like this, it is best to post in your device specific q&a forum. everyone there will have your device, so questions will usually be answered more quickly. look at the top of the page, there is a device search box to help you find your device forum.
2. yes the google cam is not as good as stock, but its not horrible either. i use it all the time on my nexus.
there are many camera apps on the play store, and someone in your forum may have a better idea of what ones work best with your device, but no, you cant put the stock cam on cm, it wont work. this a a fairly common downside of custom roms, certain stock things or apps (varies by device) just arent possible to merge into the custom software at this time, and may never be.
Thank you very much for your help. You're quite right about the device "specific" forum.
I will immediately give it a try there.
Thanks again mate.
Hi,
I've been using Nexus phones for years, and I'm thinking of buying a phone from the P20 family. I don't really like the version of Android that Huawei ships though, and I'd like to be able to install a stock ROM. I assume that this phone will have Treble support (since it shipped with Oreo) and that, because of that, it should be easy to install a custom ROM on it.
Is all of this correct? Will it be easy to install a custom ROM on these phones, or should I go for a different phone?
I'm also considering buying a P20 Lite tomorrow, how was custom ROMs development on P9 Lite and P10 Lite ?
Judging from the ROM development for the Mate 10 series and as it normally is for Huawei phones, it is not very likely that there will be that many ROMs specifically designed for the P20 phones.
However, installing Treble based ROMs should not be a problem at all. There are several such ROMs available, including AOSP, Lineage, Resurrection Remix, CarbonROM etc. The downsize is that these are often very generic ROMs and Huawei specific features may not be available. For example, third party camera apps often have inferior performance compared to the stock camera app. Sometimes these apps are ported over though.
Thanks for your answer!

So, we can take any Treble based ROM and installed it on any Treble enabled phone, and it will work? Don't specific phones need specific ROMs anymore?

Let's say I install an AOSP ROM and use Google Camera. Should I expect it to take bad pictures, or are you referring to something else when you say inferior performance?
Probably dumb questions, but I've been out of the ROM scene for years.

Yupp, that's pretty much the basic idea. Check out the following thread for more about project Treble.

The thing here is that the stock ROM may nevertheless contain vendor specific code which is not released and may have other proprietary conditions on it. The Google Camera may thus not return the same quality as the stock one. This has at least been the case for Huawei phones, although the stock camera app has been ported over (see the thread above).
I just unlocked the boot loader on my P20 Lite, now waiting patiently for a custom recovery
Custom ROMs are not very likely in Huawei devices
Hi all
Also been using Nexus for quite some time now, and bought a Huawei P20 lady week.
1. The camera is great
2. EMUI is not my cup of tea
My goal the coming weeks is to try to understand if it's likely to see a Treble ROM and if the camera app from EMUI/P20 can be ported.
Tldr; I want to keep the camera functionality but use stock android 8.x
Anyone find anything, please post
Peace ✌?

The camera app should be possible to port. It has been done in the past for both Kirin 960 and 970. Check this out for reference. In that thread the camera is based on the one from Mate 9 but in theory a newer one should be possible.
Hello all!
There are a number of custom ROMs here in the forum which feature the Sony stock camera app - The next best thing to the GCAM which does not run well on the XZ Premium. Can anyone shed some light on how it can be done to port the Sony camera app to, for example Carbon ROM?
Is it just a matter of copying the right files into the right locations, or is the whole topic more complex? Information to get me going on this would be much appreciated.:good::good:
Hi,
Maybe following link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...carbomrom-xperia-package-guide-clean-t3816147
could work for you.
As I am on a stock rom I didn't try it myself
So, I'm running LineageOS 19.1 and it's stock camera app lacks functionality, and I don't want to use Gcam, I would like to use samsung's stock camera, if someone could provide me with a way to get it, would help me tremendously.

@elJaberJaber I'm curious if the stock camera apk works on Lineage, please report back about it.
You can't use the Samsung stock camera app on an AOSP rom as it lacks the proper framework for the apk to work with , you can only use it in other OneUI based roms .
In the odd chance that I am wrong, I'd love to see it happen.

didn't get to test it out, I'm sorry, I've managed to brick my phone, so I reverted to the original ROM and rooted it to uninstall bloatware.

That's what I thought.
However, for the Sony Xperia Z3 series there was a port of the stock camera app that included the needed parts of the framework to work on AOSP/Lineage based roms.
It would be interesting if this could be possible on the Samsung S10 series too.

Hasn't been done yet, your best bet is to talk to the Dev that made the rom , Linux or Ivan or whoever it was and also with Corsicanu, as he's very well skilled working with Samsung devices and tinkering with it's apps , you can find him in various groups and on telegram as well so give it a shot and ask him a question.
Hi everyone, can i import the framework on a different rom? im using an S22
