Hello everyone.
I've decided to open this post on JIRA : https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-4582
It happens that this is problably one of the last updates CM is going to offer for us. Which means newer blobs won't be developed after it. Camera from Cyanogen OS and also CyanogenMod have a very bad picture quality. Creates artifacts as also do not record properly.
We have very poor picture on low light, and a very poor performer on camera quality.
This is related to bad blobs, not only to say that they are almost 2 years old, but also we have this problem since 2014.
So if you do not agree with this Camera quality and want to show CM that you are not happy with this performance. Make a vote, and leave a comment in that link stating your unhappiness with camera.
I believe if we all do this together, we actually will change.
Thanks

There is already a report of that. I think yours will be closed soon. Amd this bug is already exists for a very long time. Maybe you have more success with that. I hope with snapdragon camera many things will be changed and hopefully fixed.
Thats why is switched to sultans rom. He uses a camera hal without that bug.

AFAIK his hal doesnt fix this issues but oxygen blobs, which have other limitations.. Btw his hal perfectly uses all features available even if oxygen didnt implement these..

From what I observed while testing sultans rom, the auto white balance is broken.
Too much blue in daylight when shooting gras, too much red in lowlight situations.
I was annoyed constantly changing the white balance and went back to stock cm.

Maybe a strange question but since I notice you have a knowledge of white balance etc have you ever tried ColorOS ?
I've used it for a long time and I found the camera, and image quality, a lot better than CM. Well it is extremely difficult to check if you can't really compare side to side.
They were able to make the ColorOS camera to work on CM but to be honest I don't think that the result were the same.

I've taken some photos mate but for my own use so its stupid things like a photo of my keyboard, and a photo of my face (selfy) the back camera doesnt change too much (for me) but the front camera has a big difference to say its the same camera, still not perfect but much better especially on snapchat. However on snapchat on sultans, the exposer doesnt change where as on cm it does. It removed those weird purple green lines too for when u take a video. :good:
Hey guys, can we make a quick comparison between OOS / CM (stock) / ColorOS HAL/Blobs?
OxygenOS blobs:
+ good image quality
+ best video performance (1080p 60fps with audio; QHD&FHD video on front camera, slow-motion, etc.)
+ manual focus works (with ColorOS app)
- no slow shutter >2sec.
- most ColorOS plugins don't work (e.g. clear image 50mp)
ColorOS blobs:
+ very good image quality
+ fully compatible with ColorOS camera
+ 50MP
+ long exposure up to 64sec.
+ good video performance
- no slow motion (120fps @720p)
- no 1080p 60fps with audio
- only 720p front camera
CM / Stock blobs:
+ long exposure up to 64sec.
+ 50MP clear image
+ slow motion up to 120fps @720p
- worst image quality
- no 1080p @60fps with audio
- only 720p front camera
- bad overall video performance (artefacts, lines, etc.)
Roms:
OOS blobs: cm13 by SultanXDA
ColorOS blobs: cm13 by jpcaap / Darkobas
Stock: Stock Rom / Exodus
If something is wrong or you want to add something, please feel free to comment

This is something I want to know too. I think its the cm one pal. If your on the rom, go to snapchat and check if exposure is working. If not then its caf, if it is then cm
Now I've been wondering about this for a while! Can't really do scientific comparison on my end, but since now Darkobas uses ColorOS blob, I'm def gonna try it out.
Either way, I wouldn't hope CM develops our camera further...and so far, best over-all camera experience is with Sultan's.
Jumped from Sultan's CM13 rom to CM13 Nightly because of battery issues on Sultan's. All I can say right now picture quality from stock CM13 nightly is decent enough when you turned off Zero Shutter Lag.

I don't share your oppinion, I think that CM13 picture quality is really bad compared to what we had with KitKat.

Yes. I agree with you. Missed the old kitkat days.. Better battery life and camera. Now, I'm on Darkobas that has ColorOS camera hal. The front camera is grainy on Snapchat.. I try to live with that for now. Overall camera quality is decent.. Way better than CM13 camera hal. But still, Sultan's camera hal is the best for our device! I flashed Darkobas because of battery life issues that I faced on Sultan's rom.. If not, Sultan CM13 is the best

Thank you for your recommendation. I have tried CandySix but I still facing battery issues and INT3NESE's Darkobas is too laggy for me I'm on H2OS now.
Is there any way to improve camera quality on Cyanogen Mod latest nightly (official) for Z1 Compact?
CM fully works now but i dont like camera quality, like I have 8mpx, and front one is bad.
Don't know about improving it, but there's some ports/alternative camera apps out there that will take better pictures. Google cam, Jishnu's h2o cam port, and one on play store called Camera HD ultra, or something like that. I've found that they all take better pics. Personally I'm waiting for a MM update to the Sony camera port.
think there will be official MM camera blobs for aosp, levelone1?
onto the OP: no way to improve aosp camera, as manufacturers (sony is not alone) doesn't publish full featured camera drivers to aosp so the community uses generic hw layer for cameras therefore almost every camera (by that i mean big manufacturers) is worse than stock. there was a lot commentary written already on that matter, aiming mostly on google and aosp architecture overall.
agree with levelone1, you can try jishnu sur's ports as they include binary libraries ripped from stock roms. it doesn't always work on every rom and hardware but you can try. he have g+ community https://plus.google.com/communities...2/stream/d8676ee7-0970-452e-82f3-a10e3b0b4a36 and publishes regulary camera ports.
This thread is solely created to compare the same picture (same exposure setting, ISO, focus, shutter time, etc) captured by the camera of various ROMS. Comparing like this is very effective to assess the quality of the camera and help the developers improve it
Feel free to suggest your favourite roms and I'll be happy to compare them all side by side. (Yes ! I've got a tripod to take steady pictures ). You can also post pictures taken (Sticking to the purpose of the thread can be helpful), they being the same images taken in different ROMs. I will post pictures from every rom weekly or biweekly
Most of the pictures will be indoors, so that the lighting is equal for every rom camera shoot
THE FULL SIZED PICTURES CAN BE FOUND IN MY DRIVE
THE PICTURES PROVIDED ARE CHOSEN AMONG THE MANY PICTURES SHOT FOR BETTER COMPARISON. THIS THREAD ISN'T AIMED TO PROVE WHICH ROM IS BETTER ! EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT TASTES AND CHOICES ! HENCE THE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD IS TO HELP EACH PERSON TO CHOOSE HIS INTERESTED ROMS BASED ON CAMERA QUALITY !
For every picture taken, the following were the settings
Auto Exposure : Frame Average
Picture Quality : 100%
Zero Shutter Lag : Off
Rest else Auto and same settings
The following are the ROMs to be compared
1.) Cyanogen OS 13
2.) Cyanogen MOD 13 (Not sure if there is gonna be any notable difference between the two)
3.) H2Os 2.0
4.) Oxygen OS 2.1.4
5.) Sultan's CM 13 (8th August Build)
6.) Latest JgCaap's (Color OS Blobs - Darkobas builds also have the same blobs)
7.) Latest Exodus
8.) Latest CandySix
9.) Latest Orion OS
10.) Marsh (20th June Build)
11.) Latest TugaPower (Both MM and N)
I guess a comparison between blobs is going to be more practical than including roms with the same hal!!And afaik we have 3 hals
Sultan:used in candy/RR CAF//Sultan Cm13//
Coloros: Used in Jgcap
And Cm:used in most of cm based roms
You can check this post for the differences

Yea, I know. But even then Candy and Sultan's varied a little bit. So, Color OS, Sultan's and CM have been compared. I'll put some pictures of Oxygen and H2Os later
With sultan's camera is the picture quality setting at 95% or 100%? Also is Zero Shutter Lag turned on or off? (saw people saying quality is better with it off, dunno if true...)

Latest H2OS is the best
OOS 1.x.x vs OOS 3.x.x
Lineage OS Official (OOS 3.x.x blobs) and SlimNougat (OOS 1.x.x modded by Sultan)
Do a comparison of LineageOS 14.1, jgcaap CM13 (colorOS), sultanxda CM13 (OxygenOS blobs and his own camera HAL) and OxygenOS 3.1.4 port side-by-side. This would be very helpful!

Auto settings may not be accurate to compare IMO. Having fixed parameters is better. Video is tough, but will give it a try. Kinda busy right now, so will upload them as soon as I get time

It makes me sad that no one tried implementing the color os hal other than jgcaap from my own experience sultans hal is meh compared to color os hal, and OOS hal isn't much better than sultans (cm hal is horrible, tried it once and never again). Both Sultan and OOS are seriously lacking clarity and low-light performance. All my pictures are fuzzy unless there's a direct light source. Whereas with color os, I've taken pics of beachfires at night and there's little to no fuzzies, and colors are accurate. I even manage to capture the suns light rays. The other hals for whatever reason struggled with that.

you can use the nougat build from the following link with color OS blobs, battery was the same as the other 14.1 roms, i didnt do any battery tests but it seemed the same.

I have used many ROMs based on Lineage OS here.
Testing camera performance especially front camera for selfie.
MIUI camera delivers exceptionally amazing selfies.
I have tested Open Camera on MIUI and the selfie quality went bad, selfies became dull as same as they are in Lineage cameras.
This means the App is the key to better selfies.
If its possible to Port that app, Many users on internet willing to donate for the same.
Also this will improve overall device feel and experience on LineageOS.
If this thread becomes capable to attract at least one developer who shows interest in this we will be lucky.
Participate with your ideas and try to attract Developers here.If you are willing to Donate for this project kindly do mention.
I've seen this happen on every Xiaomi phone I've owned. On all of them there's a thread of people really wanting a port of the MIUI camera, but on none of them is it possible. The MIUI camera is part of the MIUI framework and won't work without it. So unless someone makes a Magisk module of the MIUI framework that plays nicely with AOSP and ports the camera it won't be possible
Guys please participate in this thread.
Participation is only key to get Dev attention.

I just found this MIUI5 port that works on Marshmallow (I don't know if works in Nougat): (Sharing)(APP) MIUICamera App
Maybe this could help to find a way to port the newer versions.

I think that is just the app, it doesn't include the low level firmware optimisations. It doesn't work on the MI5,and it's based on MIUI5 which is 4years old. The fact that we haven't made progress post that is testiment to how difficult it is to port the camera firmware. Atm the only solution is dual bootiing, and using a MIUI based ROM if you go out to take pictures (like on a holiday). It's ****ty, but it's what we're stuck with. Google Camera works OK on Lineage for quick snaps anyway.
Wait for next update of the snap camera. I am sure it will rock
I have realized that MIUI has really developed its camera app over the time, even if some other camera app are launched. They will not catchup with this app. Hence if we have a scope to use this existing piece of work we must port it rather than focusing on other means.
I just hope some developer has seen this thread and considering to take on this project.
will a camera port be ever available?
I really like the MIUI camera because the focus peaking option, who else ?
guys I have talked to developers, they are saying that it's not possible to port this camera.
And if it was possible, someone in XDA community would have already ported it like these is Google camera.
So if you want great photos, be on MIUI.
Guys, Sad news is Developers have denied to make any such port.
They say MIUI camera has something to do with Miui framework also this camera is Closed Source.
Sadly in summary If you want to use your phone for camera stay on MIUI only.
Use raw shooting for max quality for both AOSP and MIUI. As it pulls raw data without any touch you can get superrior quality compared to MIUI camera app.

I revert back to MIUI just because of camera!
I see that some ROMs are claiming to have successfully ported moto's gestures and shortcuts (fingerprint controls, karate chop / shake, etc)- what about Google Photo's free full-res storage thing? Do we get that on custom roms as well, or is that only a feature in stock?
Is there anything else we lose from the stock rom worth knowing about before diving in?
I've had a lot of struggle with Camera on Oreo custom roms...
Because of the force HAL3 (API2) Motorola camera wouldn't work... Footej was very unstable...
The camera on Nougat ROMS wprked better but it was still a bit messy. A lot more functional and stable compared to O though.
Sorry for going slightly off-topic, but can someone point which roms support the fingerprint and the shake gestures for camera and torch?

Interesting because I added the HAL2 line in build.prop on my stock rom to enable api2, and both api's work. Stock camera works, Google HDR+ camera works (albeit unstable with this nexus 32-bit version, and the focus bug that comes along with it), and other apps that use api2 work. Is api1 borked in Oreo?
I don't even really care about Oreo, to be honest. I'm fine with Nougat until the official Oreo drops. I just want stuff to work. :/
