[Q] Getting the best out of my camera - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I currently have the Samsung Galaxy SIII I9300 running Cyanogen Mod. At the moment my camera is very temperamental and the quality is not amazing. I have seen some things about HX-Mod but i'm still not entirely sure that I could get that to work. Do you have any suggestions of a ROM or Mod that will make the camera on my S3 better?
Thanks!

Any Samsung based rom will have a better camera.

Ok thanks, I know this may sound daft but are there any custom samsung based roms? If so, are there any you would particularly recommend? Also do you think I may be better of with a non samsung based rom if they have better features or are faster?
Thanks!

If the camera quality is important to you, you would be best on a Samsung based rom.
I can't recommend one but there are a number to choose from in the development section.
It all depends on your priorities, only you can decide what is best for you

Why install a beta test rom is my answer especially if you lack knowledge .
Wait for Samsung to actually finish the job is my view.

JJEgan, thanks thats exactly I want to know. Since I have a daily usage of my phone and its not a spare so I can't afford to experiment and get stuck in tech glitches.
I am just returning to a SGS2 after a few months over the other side with an IPhone 4s....arrrghh don't ask.
But any way When is the official ICS coming out for the SGS2?
Never. 10 c

miui on galaxy s3?

is anyone working on this
There is an miui developer from the galaxy s2 who has made a ROM for the S3(its in the development section) that isn't MIUI but i believe in the comments section for his ROM he has said he might start working on it soon.

Why would they wait for a good aosp... since even in the s2 where aosp and aosp rooms are so good they did base their releases on the samy base... I don't really think aosp is the bottleneck for miui on S3...
MIUI
Guys I asked one of the guys from MIUI both from their original website and Facebook they said It would a while guessing a few moths.
I was also wondering this, hope it doesnt take too long for it come out.

SGS4 Google Edition AOSP ROM compatible with SGS3?

Do you guys think that the SGS4 Google Edition ROM could work on our SGS3? Or at least include some new sources and stuff that could improve AOSP ROMS on our device like CM10.1?

I hope so, I'm dying to get stock android on my S3 with proper 'official support' and without all those S-Crap "features". *Cross Fingers"
On the other hand, I really doubt it; with the stock version of the S4 selling about $650+ ... (That, before some XDA-Magic applied to that ROM )
Highly unlikely. The Google edition S4 is qualcomm and our S3's are exynos..

A few reasons:
-Great specs
-Cheap
-I can completely wipe it out and throw something awesome as CM (Or any custom flavour, for that matter)

Not a chance it will work.. they're different phone with different hardware.

Oh.. so it is going to get Android 5.0? That's awsome!
But but it is sad that no one "cares" about making some custom roms.. even the note 4 has gotten alot roms

Exynos chipset = very hard to make custom roms.
Marginal and overpriced device = not many developers to make roms.
If this phone would have Qualcomm chipset on the international model/version and -200€ lower price, there would be a lot more going on here.
You can't really compare this device's development to note4 which is more popular etc.

touchwiz camera on 6.0 aosp

ive been looking around for the stock S5 (or S6 or S7) touchwiz camera apps for use in an AOSP 6.0.1 rom, but havent found anything so far. I could be blind, but any existing threads or links to the apks or how-tos would be very appreciated!!
i guess i should also say that ive tried open cam (no panorama in it) and a few other camera apps, even some paid ones, and i just rather like the the TW camera app. Of course, im rooted, have twrp 3.0.2-1 installed. The ROM im running is a build directly from the source code a friend of mine developed called Cyanide, but its an iteration of 6.0.1 (if any of that helps )

no but i did finally get my AOSP cam to stop infinitely focusing on the panoramas. The aosp cam still pales in comparison to the TW one IMO. Probably a little late in the g900p's lifespan for this. Most folks who are smart enough to do so have moved on to new phones

its for technical reasons, that samsung camera never has been ported to AOSP Roms. to get the samsung camera working the Samsung Framework is needed. But you choose AOSP to get rid off Sammy FW. so no chance to port this cam to aosp.

Try snap cam hdr...
I've tried so many camera apps to find a proper alternative for the stock camera.
Snap Camera is the best i've found but it's freaking me out, that no App can film in slowmotion like the stock cam.
