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 :/

Hello,I am planning to buy Xperia Z2,but I have a problem.According to my research,ıf I use Cyanogenmod,Carbon Rom(except for stock rom),I cant use Drm Keys on these roms;so,Camera,Voice..etc performances will affect thanks to lack of Drm Keys.İs there any solution for this problem ? Cant we use Drm Keys on custom roms? I am waiting for your opinions,suggestions
downgrade
root
backup TA partition (where your drm keys are)
unlock bootloader
have fun
flash stock firmware
restore TA
enjoy your reinstated warranty
DRM Keys only affect drm dependant content such as PlayStation services and remote play, X-Reality, Some Xperia Apps such as Xperia Lounge VIP
there is nothing affected on custom roms because they dont use DRM content, only stock and stock based roms
Firstly,I am grateful for your help,but I couldnt tell exactly my problem.When I use custom rom,I cant use drm keys;so,drm related programs performance may down.My biggest fear is about camera performance.İn custom roms the quality of pictures taken with the camera are low owing to lack of Drm Keys.When Sony finishes update support,I turn to custom rom.İn custom roms I will encounter with poor camera quality,and this problem overwhelm me. I saw pictures taken with custom rom and stock rom and stock rom's picture quality is quite better. Camera performance is quite significant for me. I hope that I could tell my problem.

it honestly only affects stock ROM or stock based.
performance isn't affect at all, camera results are similar.
i mean i an able to create near DSLR results with no difference between Unlocked and Locked boot loader
I cant say how I became happy when I saw you said that similar picture quality between locked and unlocked.I wholeheartedly believe your words ,but I am bit confused.I saw same topic in this forum.They compared to stock and custom rom camera quality and likewise me they were worry about camera performance on custom roms because of lack of Drm Keys.Furthermore,Sony said that unlocking may down camera performance.However I rely on you.Thanks for your assistance

honnestly X-Reality Never worked for me, it may even be a placebo when i see little difference between UB and LB, there probably isnt any.
i use MultiRom to use Stock 4.4.4, CM11 and CM12 and i have to say Stock 4.4.4 has the best camera quality although CM11 and CM12 not being effected by DRM Content at all
idk why Sony doesnt try protecting their secretes with alternate methods.
I agree with you because according to me sony's method is absurd.When Sony finish update support,I turn to cm,and I will encounter with poor camera quality.This is absolutely quite bad.I found that unlocked's camera quality is quite bad in low light.Except for light low,locked's and unclocked's picture quality are nearly similar.İn addition, Brightness problem may occur in pictures.I learned this problem in unlocked.Thank you again I want to ask another question if you arent busy.I cant decide buy Z2 or Z3 Compact.Z3 Compact has 2 gb ram,so I am confused.Will 2gb ram be sufficient in next 3 years ? I want to use my new phone at least 3 years.Sorry for a great deal of question.

Z2 is cheaper and tougher
Z3 is more expencive and weaker but has a tiny tiny bit more battery, better display and not realy much difference in camera.
Thanks for your suggestions.Z3 Compact get a bit higher score in Antutu Z2.However,Ram is more significant for me,and maybe I will prefer Z2

benchmarks = total nonsense
my Z2 is faster than my freinds brand new Z3 but my benchmark score is far lower
you shouldent care about ram on Linux based OSs, android being Linux based.
Ram's importance arises from my currently phone.I have 512 mb ram phone and I encounter with hard situations;thus, Z2's 3 gb ram attracts me.Actually,I want to prefer Z3 Compact but ram is a problem for me.Except for battery,size and ram they are nearly same Could you use 20mp in Cyanogenmod ?

512MB thats a problem but upward of 1GB is none, hence dont care about ram
Anything the phone is capable of can be used in non stockbased custom roms
-In short, yes 20MP can be used in CM Roms
Z2 and Z3 both have 3Gb
Z2 compact has 2GB but its literely enough anways
There is no Z2 Compact,I think you want to say Z3 Compactİn the next 1,2 years,Big Hd Games will need to more ram ,and maybe 2 gb ram will be insufficient.You said that I get same picture quality both locked and unlocked.Do you use Cyanogenmod Camera in Cm or any camera app?

I use stock rom with stock cam, CM12 and 11 with stock CM camera
Games im not too sure about games
Currently the best graphis games only hit 200-300MB used ram
Finally,you said that both stock's and cyanogenmod's camera performances are similar.İt doesnt matter too much.Am I right?

Front cam isnt so good in low light but i dont bother with vid chat
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.

I remeber that in february-march Nougat roms the image wasnt so pixelated thats why i was asking.
Hello, i would like to know wich is the best ROM with camera focus fix and a good battery performance, now i´ve got the pixel experience but i believe the battery performance can be better.
thanks and sorry for my bad english
I'm using Aosp Extended 17.04 build, it has the best battery for now. About camera, my google camera focus works nice, but this ROM have an option to turn on focus fix on settings>about the phone>leeco extras (Sorry for my english)
Try this one: AOSiP 8.1.0. Great speed, focus fix integrated, fingerprint always work and often updates
And install this camera: Camera MGC.
BTW. This You might use this camera app on any ROM
AOSiP is really good but AEX is also good... they are identical in battery life (at least for me)
