Really not the correct place for this, but I dont have 10 posts.
Just installed the orion-t0lte-5.1.1.release.1.7-OFFICIAL-20150929.zip Rom.
Messaging works as expected! (some of the other roms have issues sending/receiving photos in the default messaging)
BUT
The only camera what works on this rom is the "Selfie" rear facing camera.
Tried using the video or some of the camera apps, no love.
Right ow i need a more knowledgeable person to tell me why the new versions of google camera app are always crashing when i switch to front camera or try to record a videos?
Is it possible to get it fully functional , has someone ported it so that it could work or can someone do that?
Im currently on deadlyindain's oos 3.1.4 port
The newer versions are not compatible with our device. There is no way to get it working.
Good morning. I am considering rooting my*phone*to enable me to get round the WhatsApp limitation of the incoming and outgoing media files filling up my internal memory. I am planning to use link2sd once rooted.
I am contemplating the idea of installing a custom ROM also. I have an Exynos Samsung S7 (SM-G930F).
One of the big features I use on my*phone*is the camera and from my reading so far I see that some of the custom ROMS do not utilise the camera hardware properly (AOSP or LOS based ROMS) and as such you end up with a lower quality camera than stock.*
Are there ROMS out there which still use the stock camera ? Are they easily identifiable from the list of ROMS in the ROMS section?*
Any guidance towards a stable ROM which still utilises the camera the same as the stock ROM would be much appreciated.*
Many thanks in advance.

Hi @Jimmymcma,
All the custom ROMs out there that are not Touchwiz-based don't use the stock camera (and the stock camera can't be installed on them). So, by using ROMs such as Lineage OS, Resurrection Remix OS, crDroid, AOSP and so on, you will get lower quality than on Touchwiz-based ROMs such as SuperMan-ROM, BatMan-ROM, IronMan-ROM.
I would recommend using SuperMan-ROM, which is very stable, as good battery life and affords many additional features. It is very good ROM known by almost all the s7 owners here.
The camera is the same as stock. But if you want to push it a bit further, you can use this great app: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/zero-camera-mod-v1-0-increased-bitrates-t3439176. It will give he ability to increase bitrate, video fps, jpeg quality for images, custom shutter speed in pro mode etc...

Hi cgirerd,
Thank you very much for the comprehensive response. Much appreciated. I think I will try the Superman ROM you suggested.
Thanks again mate
The other thing you can do is enable adoptable storage with a fast SD card. This will allow you to combine internal and external storage together and will be used as one total pool.
Hi,
as I wrote in https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/s7-stock-camera-t3597437/post77588759#post77588759

tried to install the stock camera and it strongly depends on proprietary samsung features.
First thing failing is a missing com.samsung.android.util.SemLog library. I injected a SemLog Mockup just do observe that there are other (possibly a lot more) shared library dependencies.
If anyone is interested in developing this thing together; Feel free to contact me.

Flashed an Oreo rom the other day and I don't know if it's just me but a lot of my paid apps keep FC, my favourite launcher, Next Pro doesn't work, others like camera FV, actually non of my camera apps work, even the stock camera, can't even open up a browser. Re-flashed the ROM again today but still the same, off back to nougat.
Compatibility issues and or mux'ed up install. I wonder if anyone has started an Oreo compatibility thread . . .
I recently tried a new rom that interested me based off the features and special abilities but, it seems whenever I try to use gcam or even a video calling app it, freezes. Can I patch it with libs from my previous aosp rom? I really love this rom but not enough to have an impossible solution to it's flaws. Any tips are helpful
(It doesn't detect the camera, duo says it can't access the camera.) Rom is Ancient OS that I found after some searching.
