Question about CM 10.1 Camera - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it true that the camera on CM 10.1 produces lower quality pictures than stock Touchwiz?
And if yes, is there a camera MOD I can flash that retains the quality of touchwiz?
Thanks for the help.

In low light, Touchwiz is better. You can't have the touchwiz camera on CM roms.

Ahh. So there IS a difference. Yeah, I can barely take a picture of my hallway which is lit by an open bathroom light behind me. Thanks bro. But one more question, are there MODS out there that give better camera quality? Because I've searched a bit, and I've seen some that give function, but not quality. Any suggestions? :/

i don't think they work as perfect as stock samsung camera but they are better than stock CM camera.

I use aosp camera. Its based on cm but a bit better. Not sure that its better than cm in quality cause I've never used stock cm.
But none are as good as touchwiz. Its all to do with samsung being shady with the sources

Ohh okay. Thanks for the help.

Hahaha shady with the sources. Okay, okay. I'm gonna try it out. Thanks for the feedback guys.
Oh one more question, I do plan to flash the aosp camera mod thing. Do I have to delete anything before I do that? Or do I just flash it and it works.
And what happens to my old camera app here? Will I have two camera apps after flashing the aosp camera mod? Thanks again.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

no need to delete anything. just boot into CWM recovery and flash the zip. and for being safe side wipe cache after flashing. doesn't replace.

I wipe which cache? AFTER or before? Sorry, I'm new to this whole thing. So I'll have two camera apps?

after the flashing wipe cache. yeah you may have 2 camera apps.

So when apps use my camera, which one will they use?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

This one us actually compiled into gallery. I can't see you having 2 left over. If you do, generally they will both force close anyway

In CM10.1 you can change JPeg encoding quality (better quality, less compression and data loss)
maybe the auto ISO is less reactive than touchwizz

TW camera is better,i pick the same photo with the same apps and the image taken with TW is havier and more sharper, of course more detalis

I think that you can find the zip with original battery icon and flash it.You could flash the whole original status bar which I think will replace your circural battery icon with the original one but I m not sure about it.Furthermore there are many roms that they dont use circural battery like Android Revolution.
Yeah you are able to just download a different battery icon, they are on this forum somewhere just search for it
Thank you I will take a look soon as I get home

Yes it's built into cm10. There are a few different ones as well as stock.

There's a few.. Look for stock based ROMs and see if there's any screenshots. I know wanam ROMs are stock with stock battery icon. CM as mentioned has the option to change it up. Criskelo ROM too has a few themes, one of them is all stock I believe!

Here is a link for flashable zip I found in the nexus 4 forum. I take no credit for this. Photosphere works. The only bug right now is you can't edit with the gallery.

Photosphere works great on mint jelly TW rom! Thanks a lot! Been waiting a while for this!
It's working without any issues on the stock rom without root. The only option that's missing is HDR. But, since stock camera app is still working side by side, that's not an issue anymore but annoyance . Anyway the photosphere also works fine.
So this camera apk is good for non root user on stock rom as well.
Any one having poor video quality? I set it to 1080 p but stays the same on AOKP

I just tried installing this on PACMan ROM and it failed. Are there any special steps I have to take to install it? Also, if it runs on CM10.1, then it wouldn't automatically follow that it would run on PACMan, does it?
Edit- Got it work. Had to delete the previous Gallery app, reboot, then install this one. Thanks for the new app! Seems to work better than the old one.
hi all sorry for this dumb question maybe it belong in the stupid questions thread but , what does this camera offer over the stock 4.2.2 camera ?
i didi have it loaded and uninstalled it about 10 min later , it seems verry basic to me , not many settings or options at all , and they layout seemed totally weird to me , maybe just cause im not used to it alot but i did find the settings in the camera but as far as 4.2..2 goes it has all the different shooting modes and alot to it , i'm just not understanding what this camera has over stock is all .

works great! only problem is that you can't change default save folder to external sd.

Thats because aosp doesnt have that function...and the google edition is an aosp experience so the feature doesnt exist
And the reason why its not uncluded in aosp is because there are no nexus devices with an sd slot...they build aosp for nexus devices, not the google edition phones
And im gonna guess the reason the "edit" doesnt work is due to some missing libs...ill look into it
EDIT: Actually able to edit from the camera...so I guess that is no longer a bug?

op what are the changes done to the file ?? are you making changes on the build.prop to show the 5th row ??? the reason why I ask is because if you have multiple keyboard languages it doesn't show the number row for the other languages.
Thanks.

As far as I know it's not just a build prop change its a completely new keyboard. I'm not the original maker I just thought aosp users on the s4 would like this more than just the plain 4 row
