[Q] Is there an AOSP rom available that has a good camera? - AT&T LG Optimus G

I had tried CM, Carbon, Slimbean and others. None have the clarity of images the stock rom camera can produce. The focus works, but the captured images are always blurry. I have done the camera mod, but I still get bad pictures. Any advice?

Have you tried one of the hybrid modems that allows continuous auto focus to work?

I have. I forgot to put that in the OP. Like I said, it kind of focuses, but then the picture is blurry anyway. I will edit this and post a sample.

This is the MotoX camera if you want try it.

That's weird. Camera works fine for me, but I do have a ridiculously steady hand so that might have something to do with it.

Ah, did you try clean flashing other Roms? Top of it, Mido's custom Roms have camera bugs, like video recording isn't working blah blah. :/

I'm not a noob......Camera is definitely dark with 30 fps recording but with some apps it records bright but at about 17-19 fps

Ah, sorry for the late response, went off for few hours.
I wish I could help you on this, but I never clicked either pics or recording video on my Mido. All I heard was there are bugs with camera on mido custom ROMs.
While recording video its just stuck few seconds/mins later. And one who got omnivision camera, isn't working. Apart from that I've no idea about camera.
Did you try enabling camera2 API? It has anything to do with that? I guess.
I already use many other camera apps, Google Cam, OnePlus cam, Footej, Snapdragon Cam
But, all same.
I will try to enabling camera2 API
Thanks @sachin n
Btw my sensor Samsung not Omnivision

And Stock AEX Camera
With Samsung sensor i have the same problem with Mediatek or Snapdragon variants
Same here, in low light camera is very dark. AOSP video camera in better light condition is better and smoother than miui btw

We're looking for something more stock, that works with all camera apps, maybe a mod for the ROM/kernel
Use moto camera it fixes it
I also have this bug, also with the Samsung sensor ofilm_s5k3l8. Sensor does not get set to the proper ISO or brightness or such, it is really bad. As asusm930 wrote, ported Moto G cam fixes this and is a nice camera otherwise as well. And it is the only cam I found so far that fixes it. You can get it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/themes/camera-t3667358

Do you use the version from here (v 2.0) or some other? https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...-plus-5-camera-port-redmi-note-4-7-0-t3656125
Looks quite good, and seems to give better color reproduction in low light video. Though the photo part is buggy. Flash light is not synchronized with shutter, so it basically does not work and HDR is crossed out for me. Bugger, I would prefer to have one app for both photos and video.
i have same issue

Custom ROM - Camera too blurry

Hi people,
I already asked this in a ROM thread, but since I have the problem on other custom rom too, I decided to ask it here.
Yesterday I flashed the Aosp Extended ROM. Everything except the camera is okay.
Today I flashed the Viper ROM. Everything except the camera is okay.
The problem is, when I am about to take the photo or, before I click on the shutter in the camera app, the picture is too blurry or I have problem with focusing.
After I have taken the photo, the photo seems okay and not blurry like in the "preview".
I have attached two photos. One is screenshot of my camera app, other one is a picture taken with that camera app.
As you can see, the screenshot is just blurry.
Anything that could be done on this point?
I came from MIUI 9 global version.
Flashed Firmware in the AEX thread, flashed rom, flashed gapps. Camera was bad.
Now I have flashed the Viper, camera is same.
Is it maybe Firmware problem or something?
Thanks.

Ya, that's same with everyone in custom roms using that default camera app. Preview is grainy and blur, but after taking the snap the photo comes out good. For better camera results try out the google camera mod app. :good:
Exactly. What I can see through the app is bugging me, the photo after shooting is alright. It'd be great if they find out a solution for this, it is tough to know when the object is focused with the current situation
Alright, thanks for the infos.
I thought it was only me but if its on every custom rom like that, then there is nothing I can do..
Just, @Shubho20
with google modded camera, is the preview okay? Or its still not as good as MIUI stock camera?

best camera app for redmi note 4

I've tried many roms with many camera apps but couldn't find one in which, portrait mode, hdr+ and slow motion(however slow motion isn't important for me at all) are working.
The best app that I found was the stock crdroid camera but neither does it have portrait mode plus it's hdr is very slow.
Can someone please provide me the best app that just works and has the features i mentioned above.

I think that your experience with the gcam mods might be determined by the camera sensor on your phone. I have a Samsung sensor, and most of the mods work reasonably well (sometimes you have to tweak the settings). I have stayed with Arnova8G2 v6. It does FC sometimes, but it mostly good. The settings can be tweaked for improvements over default settings ("Auto"), but not all of them work well. If you choose very high resolution HDR settings, the shutter will be very slow - but the picture will be very good. I don't really use the portrait mode, so I can't comment on that. Before Arnova8G2, I used Cstark27 mods - and they were excellent too. But I think Arnova has the edge.
In any case, you can have a look at this repository of gcam mods.

I don't know of a straightforward way of getting that information. You will need to search the forum for that.
The method that I use is not straightforward. It depends on initd functionality, and this is not generally available in ROMs. Basically, I run dmesg from an initd script, and redirect the output to a file. I then parse the file and look for any of these;
1. "ofilm_s5k3l8" (sensor=Samsung)
2. "ofilm_imx258" (sensor=Sony)
3. "qtech_ov13855" (sensor=Omnivision)
You can of course run dmesg at any time from a root terminal. However, you need to capture the output early enough (i.e., during the bootup process) or the values you are looking for would be long gone.
PS: I don't know much about Kernel Adiutor - but it may be that it can help you to run the command to capture the necessary information, even without initd functionality. Maybe someone else can speak to that.

I'm on arnova v6 now and it's perfect. The only problem is that the front camera is mirroring/reversing the pictures I take which is incredibly annoying. Do you guys know of a system-wide or app limited tweak that can disable this? Or perhaps an alternative to this gcam which has that feature but also.has portrait mode and HDR+ working.

In these apps when you take a picture from the front camera, it is saved as mirrored as compared to the camera preview screen when you're positioning tot take the picture (for e.g a face looking at the left comes as right or vice versa). There is an option in the miui camera settings to disable this and also on most other camera apps. I want to disable this here too.

[Mod][All Variants] Camera Improvements [Flashable ZIP]

Hello!
I have been working on this for awhile now.
The stock camera libraries suck. They over sharpen, over saturate, and over noise reduce the jpeg images into garbage.
I hate this.
So I decided to fix this.
With the help of @defcomg , I started to learn how to edit chromatix files etc.
I present you my initial XDA release of this mod.
It affects manual and auto mode in the stock camera and impacts all camera apps.
I have altered tons of aspects of image quality. These are all subjective changes to *my* tastes. I will continue updating this as I can but there can be weeks between updates.
Download: http://buildbox.justbeca.us/jcarlson.html
Please test out and let me know how it goes.

Thanks for this. Will this affect the ported gcam? I'm plenty pleased with its performance and quality. Difference Vs the stock cam is night and day. I wish to have the same quality in manual mode as well hence the question.
Ps. Can you add a few images for comparison between stock and after the mod?
Hmm will it work on LOS? Edit: Never mind. Seems like it's only for stock.

It's not a big deal because I've been using Gcam mainly for anything I need HDR for but if your tweaks have helped the LG cam's HDR in any way it would be nice to try since LG hid the stupid option in the settings menu instead of having it as a quick select option like Gcam
I ran into an issue that I haven't been able to replicate yet but I activated one of the shooting modes and the camera crashed and I had to clear data to get back into the camera. I'll test it out again later but I have a feeling it's a bug related to the V30 port as opposed to something you specifically changed.

Yeah just for future reference, it's the 360° panoramic/Photosphere mode that kills the camera I found out. If you go into this mode then the camera wont open after you close it and you will have to clear data as force close will not help either. At least on mine running WETA ROM on H918 it does.
So do not open 360 panoramic mode.
Haven't tested out all the other modes yet so there may be another one that does it as well just FYI
Haven't really shot many pictures yet but so far it's night and day better than the stock camera.

It's fairly easy to backup the system partition in TWRP and just restore the backup. That's what I've been doing. Not quite as convenient as magisk but alot better than dirty flashing the ROM in my experience.

Gcam 6.1 Port with ALL CAMERAS supported in HDR+ enhanced

We finally got a version of 6.1 with the updated libraries and features (Night Sight, etc) that doesn't kill the front camera!
I've been working on this with DefconG and Cstark for a while now, trying to figure out how to fix the noise profile / black levels in the front cam so we aren't stuck with 5.1 (and its arguably inferior image quality and sharpness), and this seems to be the first major breakthrough!
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/changelog924/
It says for Pie, but don't worry. It will install fine on Oreo. You may need to uninstall other 6.1 ports if you are having trouble installing it (on my device it conflicted with a 6.1 Arnova installation).
Front cam and both rear cams are fully supported with HDR+ Enhanced now. Night Sight is also an option. Some new funky feature too like zoom enhancements and other fun things that aren't entirely documented. Use the attached settings XML for the best V20 experience.
Definitely looks sharper, much more config options to fiddle. But after taking more than 2 photos it crashes, both with hdr, hdr enhanced, hdr off and hexagon dsp disabled.
If going for version 6 this looks like the choice.
Thanks for the good work.
Pardon my ignorance, but how do I apply the xml settings?
EDIT:
I think I got it. Writing steps for others here. Thanks man! You're the hero we need.
1. A quick search led to this: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/f/settings09/
2. Downloading the xml seemed oddly difficult, so I downloaded it on my laptop and transferred it to my phone. It seems to be working fine

Double click the any empty black area near shutter button, it will as for the config. But be sure to copy the xml file to your \gcam\configs directory first.
I'm guessing no 7.0 support?
Night sight seems to be crashing now.. on the main cam especially. Anyone else facing the same?

As far as I know, any GCam after 5.1 needs Oreo or higher, and any GCam from 6.2 on needs Pie or higher.
Sadly doesn't work on H990DS Oreo, I have version mismatch maybe because of that.
Have to go back to 5.1
Hello everyone. First off thank you so much for your work and development. I have been playing around with the 6.1 camera and I think I have everything working, but lens blur keeps force closing while processing the image.
I did download the XML file and double tap in the black area next to the shutter button change to the correct config file. But I'm still having the issue with lens blur is there something that I'm missing? Also, is there a way to make it save directly to the SD card? And any way to brighten up lens blur?
Thanks again for the awesome work. It would be really nice to only need one camera!

Haven't tried Lens Blur yet, but regarding directly saving to SD card, that's not a feature since no Google Pixel phone has an SD card slot. You'll have to rely on an automatic process to move the files for you via something like Tasker or a specific app that someone made:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-gcam-tool-automatically-photos-t3752115
In Settings I changed both front and back cameras to be 16:9. However if I press the camera switch button then the settings does not stay. It goes like this:
Main Camera (16:9) -> Front Camera (16:9) -> Wide Camera (4:3) -> Front Camera (16:9) -> Main Camera (4:3)
Is it possible to fix this behavior so that switching to the Wide camera doesn't remove my Main camera settings?
Apologize for my ignorant. Does this app need root? What is the xml file for?

From my experience:
1. No root required
2. Xml file sets the settings/parameters which are optimal, and also somehow save the app from crashing.
Someone else might be better informed though.

I've noticed that the link goes straight to the Joker version. I've tried latest one: "eldiablo" and it seems to be working fine. Should I stick with the joker version or eldiablo is just fine?
I'm on h990ds with lineage 16
Just installed this on my H990DS. Is there a wide angle option?

There's a couple of ways to toggle the cameras which can be set in the settings menu. One is to long-press the front/back toggle button, the other is to alternate each time you go from rear cam to front cam. The long press seems makes more sense on paper, but in reality it then pauses as it resets the app. Toggling to front cam and then back to rear seems to happen faster so you are ready to take a picture sooner. But then it is confusing because taking a selfie and then back to rear you forget which camera you are on now at first. I wish there was a toggle that worked like in the stock LG app, but the quality of Gcam is so good its worth it.

I haven't tried it yet- I'm just reporting info as the guys tweaking LG cams are filling me in.
The V20 is my wife's phone, and while I spent a considerable amount of time trying to make it take awesome pictures for her, I haven't tried the latest updates. She doesn't always like me stealing her phone to tinker. Let us know how it goes?

Quality of this camera is rather impressive, better than the other 6.1 I had. Is it OK to use eldiablo version or should we use joker one? Thanks
