Obviously the biggest problem with LOS rom is the camera.
From fantastic camera we go to a medicore one at best
So I wonder what are everyone choice to get a better shots..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/app-t3529722
Turn on X-hdr and turn off other function
The camera is the reason I'll pass on LOS at the moment. Maybe when they stop supporting the device with updates, I will think about changing to this rom...
I feel you, but frankly, los is just so much better, fast smoth with almost vanilla android, I've just got tired from this crappy miui...
Isn't snapdragon camera and los camera the same? IMO snapdragon camera is very good
How much bad camera is it in LOS rom anyway? I mean, I know camera in Miui is better, but how much worse can it be in LOS?
With a good shot it will look fine, but it's harder to shot with more blurry photos
Good thread...I flashed LOS two days ago and I really miss the quality and features of Miui camera...(the only advantage of miui of course)
stock is far superior, in fact that is the only reason im not in los
I guess he means the stock from LOS, not from stock miui...which is of course much better
sorry, yea stock for miui.
Isn't this for the Mi 5? Would it work on the Mi 5S with no conflict? Also, isn't there an official Snapdragon camera for our device?

Touchwhiz has a beautiful full functioning camera.
If I install AOKP, will I lose all these features, and getting a really dumbed down camera?
Will the quality suffer too?

short answer? Yes.
long answer? For the most part, yes.
What you end up losing is a lot of the bonus features that are specific to the TouchWiz camera, such as the extra picture modes like Best Shot and that kind of stuff. I'm not sure about quality either way..... haven't really compared image quality side by side. Thankfully it still has the zero shutter lag (unless it's focusing, and using the flash, as with TouchWiz)... which is nice.
All i can really say is that if your phone is already rooted and everything, if you decide to try AOKP to see how the camera is, highly recommend making a backup. can try it out, if you don't like it, full wipe and restore the backup and you'll be back to where you were, as if you never tried it to begin with.

You will most certainly lose quality. Unfortunately there is a loss of quality as well as a loss features. Granted...many of the touchwiz camera features are (very) gimmicky but the overall picture quality is excellent compared to AOSP camera on AOKP or CM10...I am using CM10 currently and am trying to find a good replacement camera app.
I just saw that OMNIrom has finally been available for d3att and im quite excited about since it has multiwindow(one of the few things that keeps me locked to touchwiz).
But i was wondering is the stock camera a downgrade? I have read reports and discussions saying the stock camera is much more inferior to the touchwiz camera.
Besides the obvious benefits of having the newest android build, better battery(what i heard), and less bloat(although i usually just titanium them away), I would like peoples opinions on how else does stock compare to touch?

It depends on what you define personally as a "downgrade". Obviously because Touchwiz is proprietary to Samsung and not available for devs to port to their AOSP based roms, you're not going to get the fancy bells and whistles that come bundled with Samsung's camera app. However, I don't think it's fair to call it a downgrade if you're speaking merely in terms of picture and video quality.
From personal experience I've found the stock camera on most of the AOSP 4.3 based roms to be just as good in quality as Samsung's app. 4.4 based roms still have to work out bugs in the stock camera app so I wouldn't try those first. Find yourself a stable 4.3 based rom like CyanogenMod 10.2 or Quantum V2 Final and try your luck with those.
If you find that the camera lacks features you found yourself liking from the Samsung camera app, I suggest finding a good 3rd party camera app such as Camera Zoom FX. It provides just enough features that make the camera a pleasure to use while also retaining great picture quality. It has settings that allow for full 100% jpeg quality whereas some may limit the quality to 80% or less.
Hope this helps, I know how hard it is to find a straight answer since a lot of this depends on your own experience and observation but hopefully this leads you in the right direction.
thanks a lot for ur answer. like im quite sick of the time it takes to upgrade anything by samsung. i never knew that some apps would limit the size. but anyway ill wait for the 4.4 to be a little more stable first. ill definitely make the switch once i gte word that samsung wont support NA S3s anymore,
Hi,
I'd really like to use a custom ROM, but camera performance is rather important for me. How big is the difference in this aspect between a custom and original ROM?
And also, what's to expect in this subject? Is there any hope to have in the near future a custom ROM with equal to original camera performance?
I have the same inquiry as well, but as for what I've been reading so far. It is not possible at the moment or possibly will never happen( I hope I'm wrong with this one.).
Conclusion: You can't have the best of both worlds.
There is a clear big difference between custom and stock rom in terms of camera quality. It's like night and day in my opinion. Although shots taken by custom rom are acceptable but compare to stock, the details and colors are way off when using custom rom. In terms of futurem nobody knows but this issue also exist on other phone. Like Xperia 2011 devices where the quality really degrades when using AOSP based rom though the big issue there is the camera libraries.
I thought only the Z3's use those very special DRM-Codes in the TA-Partition for LowLight and other Stuff? Isn't the rest "just" Sonys Camera Software?
I would love to use CM11, and i think i could live with a bit less low light quality, but as a DSLR owner i want another camera that is good with "point-and-shoot" situations...the Stock Z1 with the superior automatic is perfect for that kind of stuff....
Can't say how much is the difference, since I did not leave the phone at stock for a very long time, but in CM I find the back camera quality pretty good even in dark settings, when the flash is being used (low ISO).
However, when the flash is disabled or the front camera is used in low light (high ISO), the pictures are next to unusable.
I still can't understand what exact part of the camera processing configuration is stored on those DRM partitions and why did Sony, who otherwise support custom ROM development, made such particular decision...
I'd like to lift this thread and ask again, are there any lollipop roms with better or at least the same quality on camera?

You will not find a CM camera that comes anywhere near the quality of stock, sorry. Feel free to keep asking.
Hello, Im thinking of replacing my 1 year old LG G3 for OP3.
I have a question about AOSP roms. When AOSP rom like CM13 is flashed to phone that does not come with pure android some hardware may not work (like radio) or camera isnt as good as on stock based and battery life can be worse.
Is this the case for nexus phones and OP3?
Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately, Yes
CM is not AOSP,
stock rom ( OXYGEN ) is closer to aosp, but with experiences from my previousOP1 and 2, i thinks OOS on OP3 will sucks. CM is better for all Oneplus devices
So for example with CM the camera quality or battery quality will stay the same ?

Battery maybe even better. Camera i dont think so. Usually the camera experience is the best on a stock rom.
Hello,
So my question is, what is the camera quality like on the newest LineageOS build? There seems to be a lot of camera updates in the changelog.
I'm currently running OxygenOS CB 11, because the video quality. The stabilization and 1080p60 is pure awesomeness and the slow motion is fun, too.
Last time I checked (Back when it was CyanogenMod 14.1), the video quality was poor and there was no 1080p60 or slow motion. Has it been improved/added?
Thanks in advance.
no slowmotion and 60fps yet although the picture quality isnt worse at all from what i can see. this is one of the only reasons i stick with OOS based roms
The official camera app is now working on LineageOS, and has been for about a month now, so all is right in the world.
I'm on lineage OS with the stock camera port, and the quality is the same as OOS.

Except RAW doesn't work and the app is pretty unstable. If you want a good camera experience, stock OOS based ROMs and Sultans CM13 ROM are the best. You have more control over your post processing with Sultans CM and it's better for daylight photos. Removing the noise reduction for daylight photos adds so much detail.
Has the camera quality changed or is it the same today as it was a few months ago ?
