Hi all,
A couple night's ago I flashed the latest version of popdog's Oxygen ROM (2.7). This is the first version in a while that has been running stable for me with no issues with gapps. I really like the speed and battery life I'm getting with it. The only issue I have is with the quality of the camera. Previously I was using Adfad's N2 ROM and the camera quality was great on that, and judging by what others have written, N2 has the best camera quality. I left N2 mainly because I wanted to go with a more current ROM that is being updated.
I've seen a few people mention a flashable exposure fix for the camera in CM7 RC1. Unless I'm mistaken this is related to the default exposure levels and has no bearing on the overall quality of the camera shots?
Basically I'm just wanting to know if there is a a newer ROM than Adfad's N2 that has similar camera quality... Thanks
I've tried all ROMs but only N2 satisfies me as I need camera daily and N2 has amazing cam quality, in latest nightlies, you cannot get good exposure even after using the patch to fix exposures, you will need to set exposure again and again every time before clicking a photo, while in N2, default exposure is amazing, I'm trying to port the N2 camera to other ROM's
Thanks for the info umangleekha Getting the N2 camera in other ROMS would be fantastic. As much as I like the newest Oxygen ROM, I'm probably going to have to go back to N2 because of the camera. I use it regularly too.
Just out of curiosity, which kernel are you using with N2?
Dudeeee I sucessfully ported the N2 camera to RC1, check my thread in Android Development section.
Yes! Thanks for that . Just what I was looking for. Much appreciated

Maybe the new rom has a diff camera app from the stock one... i also noticed my camera quality dropped when flashed a custom rom...try a different camera app like camera zoom fx or any other n see if the quality is still the same.
Mine did the same but I got a app that works fine.

Yeah, different ROMs comes with different settings. So either try editing the settings or go for a different camera.apk. Either way, I think the best thing to do if you really use the camera a lot, then go for a different ROM.
Good luck
I have been using L-droid for a month now. Its perfect in every way except the following two.
1 - Display crispness
2 - Camera
1 - Display Crispness
I feel the Stock Sammy ROMs have a much sharper and crisper image with better colors as compared to any CM based ROM I've used. I want to understand why is this difference ?
2 - Camera
Stock Sammy takes Photos way too quickly (from the time you press the button to the time it gets snapped and ready for another) compared to stock CM camera. Again I want to understand why is this difference ?

You are correct about 1, there's a sharpness fix implemented in some kernels.
No idea about the second one, are we talking AOSP vs samsung camera on AOSP and samsung roms respectively or both on a samsung rom?
If former, it's due to closed sources.

Sharpness fix in kernels : which kernels have it? Can you name them.
AOSP camera on AOSP ROM vs SAMMY CAM on STOCK SAMMY ROM.
If it's because of closed source then my question comes out to be : developers have figured out the camera driver what's the factor they haven't figured out yet?
My curiosity comes from me being a driver developer for nix for specialized systems . Haven't worked on any drivers for Android yet. But I am curious.

Boeffla has the sharpness fix, that's as much as I can tell you, you're better off doing a quick search yourself.
I don't dig deep into issues since I can't do anything about them, but as far as I know, they haven't found what exactly makes all the hardware camera tweaks work and how to implement them, maybe try searching for codeworkx posts or even justarchi. I believe it's the same with HWComposer.
The only reason I stuck with Sammy ROM, it's camera quality :/

I just got my note 3 pro and I really like the device and I have no problem with using MiUi, but I have considered to maybe put cm 13 or 14 on it. I have heard that the kernel that Xiaomi have released is old and outdated and never version of the note 3 might come into some problems. Is that true?
What about the camera on cm is it as good as on stock?
I've been using CM 13 from the moment I got this phone and it's the most stable rom for me. As for the camera, yes it is better than stock since it lets you record 720/1080p at @60 fps (even 4k at 20~fps), while the camera on MIUI is limited at 720/1080p, only at 30 fps. If you decide to flash official CM 13, you could try flashing Radon Kernel which probably has the most features so far ("double tap to wake" recently added!). Make sure you read the instructions first since this kernel is NOT compatible with every custom rom, but it will work for most of them.

What about flash. Is that working? In other phones when using cm the flash would come on to later or early making it impossible to use the camera in low light situations.

Works fine, but the camera on this phone is generally terrible in anything except direct sunlight anyway.

Flash works just fine, but as "banana_bender" mentioned, don't expect any decent results in low-light situations, especially for 60 fps recordings.
In terms of photo quality, I think MIUI camera performs better than CM and other custom rom camera's. It's the reason I'm still using MIUI.
I like the CM 13, but the sound quality. I too low.
Does camera quality differs in custom rom than in stock rom as i find better clicking pictures on stock camerw then on custom camera, i m bit confused whether to remain on stock rom for camera or to go for. Custom rom, do anyone find differences in picture quality on custom roms

I don't find any difference, bw in Miui 8 Camera output is bit washed out lack of colors and contrast, while in custom roms i think its better and u will Miss Miui HDR nothing can beat Miui HDR
So by yout. Opinion what is better miui stock or custom roms as i personally dont find any difference but still one side of my mind says tk remain on stock for camera, m totally confused i flash lot of roms but again i get back to stock, its very hectic to get back tk stock again, wastes 2 3hrs of day to get back

I am curently on NOS and i tested RR too but both have very bad camera, even pixelated even after 1-2 levels of zoom.
Any recomandation ?
I dont want to revert to MIUI.

Try something CAF based like Citrus but that won't improve the camera much.
Unfortunately xiaomi.eu ROM and a custom launcher like Nova are the only way to go if you want a decent camera and good battery life.
And one last thing: Try LineageOS 13 based on Marshmallow by Gizmo. It is supposed to take better pictures than Nougat based ROMs

The camera in custom ROMs based on Nougat is worse than in stock ROM, yes.
In Marshmallow based ROMs, the camera isn't that much worse but the images are still different than with stock. Someone posted photos here on the forum comparing stock and LineageOS 13 camera
Try N os now the camera is some what optimized now 21 St build

There's no point in comparing camera quality between different ROMs.
Historically the area where custom ROMs suffer the most in comparison to stock ROMs is image quality.
More or less the quality will be the same as the software remains the same, Snap camera, and all the ROMs use mostly the same sources for the same hardware.
The difference will be made by software image processing, which only MIUI can provide.
So if you want the best possible image quality from your sub 200$ phone, you have to use MIUI or be satisfied with the camera on your custom ROM.
