Photo Quality in CM Roms - K3 Note General

I installed CM12 stable on my K3 note and so far its been pretty good performance wise compared to VibeUI.
However, I feel the camera quality has gone down drastically
I tried installing snapit camera on CM rom which i think is doing little better, but still i feel quality has gone down.
Is it just me, or cam quality in CM/AOSP roms is not that great ? And more importantly any fixes ?

tried differents versions of the snapit camera? Ive read somewhere that the IQ of the picture can be different. Also Lspeed mod disable the compression of the photo that seems to be enabled in most roms.

Note 3 camera quality

Just a quick question and would like a answer from people who has tried both CM11/AOSP Roms and TW
Is the image quality just as good on a AOSP/CM11 ROM than on a TW ROM or is it worse?
In other phones I have owned I noticed CM11 Roms produced images that were not as good quality as stock one due to different processing.

Hi,
Used Cm11 A long time and havent had any problems.
After switching to touchwiz, just notices that the Touchwiz Camera does Pretty Bad in low Light. You need pretty much light for Good Results, the Camera performs Pretty much Worse than the AOSP Cam in nornmal daylight.
You get awesome Pics with AOSP in every type of Lighting. Touchwiz can only do good with much light but also focuses slower and heavier than AOSP.
AOSP saves pretty much time at Focussing and taking good shots without much light.
I would keep AOSP if you use your Cam often and expect good quality at every Aspect.
Hope i helped:good:

IMO, It focuses much better on TW than AOSP, as the Camera driver doesn't constantly waste time trying to focus on "everything" like on AOSP rather than actual focusing on what you press.
Detail is fine, just the drivers controlling the camera chip.

Color OS , No doubt
Why not install any rom you like and simply install sultans camera Hal in it.? Wouldn't be the same results in camera quality?

Colour OS as well as H2OS....

After using purity, sultans cm13, cm13, DU rom, AOSPA, roms, I have to say that the stock OOS camera is unmatched. Nothing comes close, not even with sultan hal installed, (even if stock OOS suffers from low fps in dark light). In terms of clarity, and image quality is by far the best. Combined with the best possible GSM reception and by far the fastest LTE speeds (in most cases not even close in rom vs OOS speeds tested in the very same spot) is a no brainer for me. At least for now, until some roms incorporate those two major assets. On the other hand every single one custom rom are by a far smoother than OOS, more memory distribution efficient, and of course by a far more customisable. That's my point of view after all those tests. Depending on priorities, each of as makes its choice.

Did you try the OOS camera ported on MM Roms, for example Sultan's CM13?
I only tired OSS abd Sultan CM13.
IMO, OSS.
Ive tried the OOS port into all of the above roms, but although it was a bit better than the roms integrated camera apps, was nowhere near the OOS clarity. I dont know what the stock OOS does with the camera quality, but it's significantly ahead (even fir someone that is no photographer or photo expert) of other roms. Something it's in the coding, or settings, I don't realy know, but the difference is easily noticeable.

CM13 with Google Camera and OOS Camera is pretty good

It's placebo. The same exact HAL is used in custom ROMs. The only thing you could possibly be referring to is the camera app itself and whatever they call it... Clear something or other...
Pics are taken without clear mod or any other special setting. Maybe it's a placebo effect, but the difference was obvious from the first time I installed a custom rom. No matter how good was the rom (in most cases was much better than OOS in terms of smoothess), and still till now that installed the OOS back I have the same opinion. Maybe it's a placebo effect I don't know.

So Stock OOS has better cam quality vs Sultans Cam HAL OOS?
Yes ...stock camera is way bettr or u can say..Cm13 camera sucks
Sent from my ONE E1003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
It really depends...Stock camera app reduces a lot of noise, making the pics seem better. It actually removes detail in the process of removing noise. btw you can just flash OOS camera app on cm13 or other rom and it will be like stock (except clear image wont work, but clear image is really more of a marketing gimmick, it removes a lot of noise from pics, taking away lots of detail)
Do you know you can also remove noise on CM13 camera (snap)?
I have tried OOS camera port in every other rom I have installed, and the result was nowhere near the OOS camera in OOS. I don't know what it's different, may there is something more, but im convinced that its not a placebo effect. I dont know. If you count also the fact that lte speed is wayyyyy faster ( in OOS ookla test maxed at 125 maps, instead of 40 in every other rom in the same spot and time of day. I also don't know what seams to be the problem in custom roms for now ) than every custom rom, for me is a no go for custom roms. At least for now. And I must say that I love their smoothness. But.....

In my experience picture quality depends heavily on the camera app used. Ie i get awful results with snap cam. Using fv-5 and camera zoom which produce nice quality (running aicp, stock hal)

Camera Quality

Hi, Just a query about the camera on Note 3.
I once owned a sony, And rooting and flashing broke camera quality unless ya backed up the TA partition first, Ive noticed since flashing my Note 3 with darkwolf rom and also flashing the camera mod available, ie, S7 camera, the quality isnt what i would expect, Low light conditions its pretty poor to be honest.
So i was wondering, Is there any info on the Note 3 camera that i should know, ie, does flashing custom roms break quality, is stock camera better than the available mods etc etc, because i did own a galaxy s4 once upon a time, and the camera quality on that was a lot better than this note 3 camera, as a test i installed the LENOVO supercamera and instantly noticed an improvement in quality, tho still really poor in low light, or am i expecting too much from it, because even the camera on my Iphone 5s, 8mp, takes a a better picture.
Anyone any advice?, is there a good camera mod available to really improve the situation or should i go back to stock camera?
Camera Mod in Themes and Apps you can try .

Camera Quality With Custom ROMs

Hi There,
one of the main reasons why I bought the S7 Edge initially was its great camera.
The reason why I haven't yet installed a Custom Rom was because I wasn't sure if the custom rom / camera app would provide the same picture-quality as the original one.
Will the Picture quality suffer from a custom camera app, or is the relevant software "build into" the chip, and therefor independent from the actual camera app?
Thanks a lot!
If a TW based ROM is used, the stock camera app can be used, so the phto quality will be the same. If you got root on this ROM you can even access more features of the camera with the Zerocam MOD.
If an AOSP base ROM is used, the quality is not equal. Samsung did not release all the libraries needed to access the hardware of the S7 camera properly. But nowadays you can reach, with third apps, the same quality of the photos as the TW based ROMs.

I have tried many of the proposed solutions to achieve good camera quality in an AOSP based ROM and can only say that none of them came even close to the quality of the stock camera. Also, the speed was not comparable.
To compare I used a test scenario with poor lighting conditions and always took the same pictures. While for instance on images taken with the stock camera one could read the text on a package, on the other images you couldn't even tell that it was text.
Any news on this? As the S7 is end of life, the TW based ROMs are also not an alternative anymore. Is there any chance to get roughly the same camera quality with a LineageOS ROM? What third party apps deliver a decent quality?
you can use google camera. lol

gcam

hey, can any brilliant developer create a super stable video for gcam like on stock camera app? i really liked that but its not possible with a custom rom or maybe there is, so can anyone do it?

Go to the Google camera ports web page and try these 3:
Xcam 6.2 beta (which version depends on your Android version) - has all features basically
Urnyx 7.2 v1.4 - same as above however it is Google cam 7 (unfortunately cannot use xmls to configure settings)
Parrot 7 V12 - unlike the 2 above, does not allow for switching to ultrawide or telephoto, however is a great cam with xmls, lots of config options in settings and is also Google cam 7
the video is not at all stable compared to stock camera

What mod are you using? Gcam has lots of mods and tweaks, I'm using Gcam 7.2 by Parrot mod and don't face any issues.
Neither version of Gcam has video stabilization like stock cam...period!
I agree at some point but to compare stock Mi9t camera 1080p/30fps/h265 vs Gcam 7.2 1080p/30fps/h265 the quality is much better on Gcam when you're walking or hiking fast the video stabilization is not that much progressive or smoother on stock camera I'd say max 5% or 10% more accurate and it's hardly noticeable but the quality drops during the video I can clearly see the image distortion and noise.
In addition Gcam is much more configurable and better quality because it is being developed constantly and Xiaomi stock camera software is not something to judge or the company is aimed for but rather quality and production of smartphones and various equipment.
