I like the speed of the MIUI camera but the quality sucks pretty bad. Can I put the stock camera on MIUI?

Unfortunately, You cannot.
The stock camera relies heavily on TouchWiz.
Does the quality really suck? I was actually planning on grabbing MIUI camera and flash it on to my CM7....then...I came across this thread =[
i been trying to do it but no luck... stock camera has better quality than miui camera
Having the same problem, miui has many options but the quality sucks bad.
I tried re-flash stock rom and backup the camera with titanium then restore it back in Miui but it failed, never finish restore. Guess it's because of Touchwiz that gunm3tal said. If you find any solution please write it here. I actually consider to flash another rom cause of this, although I really like miui !
Hey Guys!
I've tried my best searching the web and xda before making this thread but I really want some opinions here. I've been switching between MIUI and Simple&Clean. I've read stock TW Cam is better quality than MIUI and I felt that too when I was using MIUI.
Funny thing is though, the camera hardware remains the same doesn't it?
So my big question is, if I run MIUI (which supposedly has bad camera quality) and download a good camera app, say ZOOM FX, it should technically work as well as a stock rom's TW camera right? (since it's the same hardware)
Sorry if I'm confusing but I really find this problem weird!

MIUI still doesn't implement good drivers for correct video playback! hence, video stutters...normally 1080p video stutter...! and MIUI camera is also good!
You do mean the still Photo camera and not video right?
I see, but is it the same reason for camera photo quality? That the drivers aren't implemented properly too?
So if the drivers for the camera isn't as good, technically if I'm on MIUI Rom and install Camera Zoom Fx, the quality would still be bad right?

People, I also, go for 3rd party camera apps, they do work good!
Like lgcamera...but i don't really compare the miui camera with stock one! i suffer from placebos
Damn haha, you're exactly like me, I buy a third party app or get influenced by MIUI's camera and think it's not that bad.
Hopefully others can give a more accurate opinion
Hi i have on my S4 mini 9195 the CyanogenMod 12.1.
I am looking for the best camera that allows you to take pictures in high resolution and full screen.
Thanks in advance :good:
I assume you mean best camera application, try camera 360 ultimate
Im been using Camera ZOOM Fx for years and still find it a great camera app on my S4 mini.

Using it as well and I am happy with it
Try: Focus or Cyanogenmod camera app, they're pretty similar but I prefer CMcamera.
Open camera is the best by far.
i really like the stock camera. And bec of it i am coming back to stock rom from cm12.1, i really like cm12.1 Rom. i am sometime go for it but come back to stock rom because of camera. Tried alots of cameras some are mentioned here. Which are good but i kinda of not satisfied with them . i wish sometime in future Stock camera come to cm.

Will never happen. As source for this has never been released by Samsung. Has been this way for ALL custom ROMs since ever. The camera is the main reason I keep going back to stock. Focus is horrible on pretty much all custom ROMs. But because of major security flaws in stock OS I'll be switching back to CM.
Maybe auto focus is terrible but manual is damn good for macros. I used to make macros of smartphone motherboards, mostly after water damage to show clients that they phones wasn't stop working just by themselves. I can tell You on stock pictures from my phone was a lot worse than my coworker iPhone 5 and now they are a lot sharper and brighter than on his iPhone. I never tested outside photos on CM but I think it's only matter to feel manual focus.
Snap on CM11
Also using 12.1 on s4 mini, I've tried all cameras but have settled on Snap Camera HDR. Focuses fast and accurately, and doesn't lag. Also works well in lower light.
I just came back from CM 12.1 to CM11 in my S4 Mini Duos and switched to snap Camera HDR. Far better than built in CM11 camera app. The only thing I miss is the capturing with on/off button...
I use A Better Camera
Google Camera is pretty fast.
I've settled on A Better Camera (running on CM12.1) as I like layout etc., admittedly auto focus is not as good as CM app in some lighting conditions but a quick tap on the screen and it will focus perfectly.
Try the Ucamera application.
It is very good and it has many effects. It s available on play store
Google Camera is a pretty good choice.
It is not so simple. You can not have the same quality stock cam because any cam app is working with generic drivers in CMs or any other ROM CM based . For the same reason , the audio (mostly capture) also will never have the same quality.
It is a price to pay: Camera and audio quality worse.
Some apps can even do a good job, but difficult to achieve equal quality.
Until the other day I used CM13 and even liked, but needed quality to scan a document on an emergency. I had to restore Stock Backup. I lost the desire to again change the ROM and stayed in Stock. Unfortunately it is a reality.
Some apps can even do a good job, but difficult to achieve equal quality.
One consolation is to use some Xposed Modules and other tools that make Stock ROM ... Less outdated, I would say.

very true. most of the time i go back to stock jelly bean. No kitkat update for i9190
I have Camera Next, CM12.1. My favorite camera app. But it works fine in CM13?
After I unlocked bootloader and installed Cyanogenmod 12.1 I noticed the picture quality isn't as good as it used to be. Can anything be done to make it better? I'm not sure if it's even working right, with HDR turned on the flash still goes off and I didn't think it was supposed to.
Try different camera apps until you get the right one. But with an unlocked bootloader, you will find hard next to impossible to get the same camera quality you had on stock everything. That's why I no longer unlock the bootloader, the Z series loses more than it gains.
you can try different camera apps: Procapture, DLSR Cà‰mera Pro, Camera FV 5 ..... Camera of CM is bad because CM Rom don't good about Camera.
I am getting a Poco F1 in the mail this week. I've been reading and seeing videos about how great the custom ROMS are like Lineage OS and Pixel Experience but they also "break" working features like WiFi hotspot and IR Face unlock (i think now working?) that i use. Also it's a lot of time and hassle and the only REAL benefit i'm reading is the "stock" experience and maybe the Camera works better on the customs ROMS? questions...
1) Is IR Face unlock working on any ROM? if so, what one?
2) how much better is the Camera on Lineage/Pixel vs. Stock Miui?
3) Am i missing anything else? what other benefits are there to installing a custom ROM?

1.) I think I found some ROM that supports IR Face unlock find it somewhere here https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/development But some ROM uses Google Face unlock feature (idk if it uses the source code of the IR face unlock by xiaomi)
2.) They said that google camera port for MIUI changed the game but camera on other roms, I don't know. I think they have same results as google camera port for MIUI
3.) Customization and less restrictions. (Official custom roms offers OTA updates, nightly updates, etc.) But you can stay stock, I think it is fine. Just flash some mods and tweaks and MIUI will be good and fast.
1) All roms I've tried use google face unlock feature. It works just as fast. The only downside to that is that these roms don't have an option to turn on the screen when you pick up the device or take it out of your pocket. You have to press the power button, unlike in MIUI where you can just pick up your phone, have it recognize your face and be unlocked in half a second.
2) Gcam is a MUST. It's a game changer. You can have it in MIUI or in any custom rom, so I don't think you necessarily have to switch from stock to custom. I think your device has to be rooted to use Gcam, though I'm not 100% sure about that.
3) While I was waiting for Xiaomi to let me unlock my phone, I tried to use the latest MIUI as my daily driver. I just couldn't stand not having a clean, aosp-based rom on my phone. You will lose features for sure, but I think it's worth it. MIUI has... to much stuff? I don't know how to put it.

the only drawback of using custom rom is battery backup which is not an issue if u are going to flash franco..... and there is slight fps drop in custom roms..... what i tested is i get 59.79 avg fps and in custom i get 59.12 which can be anything from server lagging or anything.... but u should flash custom rom..... if u gonna use poco...... the camera is pixel 3 camera i will suggest any day...... it can compete with op6t with gcam.... and in miui what i heard "they limit the camera performance to balance out with much higher premiums like mi 8"....... ir works in lineage....
