When new ROMs release (like LineageOS for Poco Pocophone F1), how will the camera perform?
Will it include the same quality, AI and specs like the main ROM?
And... I've seen that new official ROM/Firmware updates can update the camera quality via AI, will that be possible to include in the ROMs easily? Is that part of the Treble partition? Or that is not part of the Treble and opensourced, and thus quite difficult to include?

it would need a poco miui camera port to get these AI features at customs ROMs. I don't know why but for the moment gcam isn't even running flawlessy, maybe due to camera firmware. opencamera works and even footej cam. I've tested snapdragon camera and these ports don't work for me on lineageos 15. hmd camera starts but can't enter settings menu and I'm getting grainy photos.

Hi All
I am planning to buy a RN4 from Flipkart.
To one of my queries in Lineage OS thread, one user responded the following:

I've read that the modded Google cam is the best camera for custom roms possibly even better than stock MIUI as there are settings that you can tweak to get the best possible photo quality however there is a huge catch, it doesn't work with Omnivision camera. Well technically, it still works but you don't have HDR which is pointless as the app was modded for HDR to work.
There is a huge chance that you'll get Omnivision if you buy brand new as newer note 4x batches no longer comes with Sony or Samsung camera. Hopefully the October 6 camera commit by highwaystar on Lineage fixes this.
Yes, you can flash MIUI camera ported from MI A1 but HDR and few other features does not work and yes there is camera quality degradation which is very common on non-nexus/pixel devices as there are proprietary libs/drivers that's closed source.

People who bought RN4 recently from Flipkart, please help me make an informed decision by mentioning what camera sensro you got?
Sony / Samsung or omnivision?

LCD Tianma?
Regarding FP Sensor I got confused. Goodix has issues with some roms right? or is it FPC?

I don't know about LCD. And yes oreo roms has issues with goodix sensor right now, but devs are trying hard to get it fixed and eventually it will.
Doesn't matter where you buy it, it's 100% random you can get anything.

Which app are you using to check what the hardware is? I wanna check my camera and FP sensor too, since I bought from Flipkart too during that sale. Thanks.

Doesn't work on custom rom I am guessing? On RR.
Hello everyone, i have a problem with my Z2. I unlocked the phone and the camera became very bad (I didn't know that sony has done such a thing while unlocking). So, I updated my phone to R.Remix 7.1.2 v5.8.5 and the camera is still bad. I know that it's normal. So I'm looking for the fix but i can't find the proper one. There are some solves but they are for MM or stock nougat. I can't be sure if i should try.
Can anyone help me? My camera is very bad and it's irritating me very much. Thanks.

1) You are sure that camera have something on lens?
2) Carbon based rom have "drm fix" for camera .
3) You have try stock camera porting?
4) Unlocking bootloader give bad camera on stock sony roms and other loss of things for drm loss. In stock rom you can put drm fix or elite kernel because drm fix are built in. On custom roms with 3.4 kernel based, there is something similar but for camera.
5) If you try only 20 mpx, with normal quality(not high), on bad light, is normal that camera gives "bad" image. Use 8 mpx instead 4:3. Sensor is 4:3 and with this format you can have best quality.
6) I advice to put carbon rom instead of this or rr 5..8.4 of 21 september 2017 for mic problems of 5.8.5

guys without drm fix camera would not even work
so rr is based on carbon trees and the camera performance is the same between stock and carbon
i made a picture with stock and one with carbon and can't see a diffrence

With carbon based roms, i think camera better than stock in most of cases xD Expecially i'm using sony port camera. This for different parameters. On auto with those roms .Iso can't reach other 3200 iso,on stock porting scene doesn't recognized (in most of cases seems better), focus seems more affordable. But on z2 i always advice to shoot on 8 mpx 4:3 to get in most of cases best results in every situation. 20 only on really light situation to have best details,because z2 is one of first experiment with high megapixel camera and noise reduction doesnt' work well on high megapixel shoots(unlike latest xperias). And always use 4:3 for best images. 16:9 is a cropped image. And to have this results on a custom rom i think is a miracle. In most of cases, camera on those roms are going really worst. With this,is going like stock or better. Thank you for your work
My device is x820
I'm on lineages 8.1 and i want to back in offical eui , how and which better version
Please help me
use twrp adb sideload the stock (worked for me )
also reflashing from scratch using flashone will work
but really except camera and video player (if you have mx player pro then no need) oreo roms are better
especially Aosip with blackscreen kernel
@Aimen1 I personally think that photos taken with GCam with HDR enabled look much better than the ones the stock camera takes.

Im using arnova gcam without any issue for the past 15 days
but it is not as stable as the stock app so if someone uses the phone mainly for cam or just love to take pics all the time
dagrading to eui is better
Has anyone tried ANXCamera on any custom ROM of this device?
And If yes, does wide angle and telephoto lenses work?
I was thinking of flashing Pixel Experience or Havoc OS but don't want to lose the Camera app.

is working very good on stock tbh. Giving you the option to take raw pics, but is not respecting notch.
For aosp , both 9 and 10, wide angle works but not portrait.
The pocophone F1 was the best phone I ever had and I miss it dearly, so I decided to buy a used one in the next few days.
I would like to know a few things regarding the current state of it's development:
In terms of gcam, does the original pixel 3 gcam is still the best, most compatible version for the f1? I've had a few android phones and none had the compatibility and stability that the f1 offered, and I'm afraid that with the new android 13 roms the pixel 3 gcam isn't compatible....
Is the custom rom development still active for the F1? Saw that Havoc Os hasn't been updated in quite a long time and I really love that one

I am using BSG Gcam ports (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/) and the latest stable release (8.1.101) is working perfectly well for me.
Regarding ROMs, development is still active (LineageOS, crDroid, etc.) and totally suitable for a daily-driver use.

Thanks for replying,
Do you notice an improvement with the latest gcam versions compared to the 6.xxx versions? I remember the old version as a reliable, stable and legit equal to the pixel.

I have never used the 6.xxx versions, so I couldn't tell you, but in my opinion, the quality, detail, sharpness, especially in good lighting (but low-light shots are also good) are outstanding and really close, if not equal, to Pixel phones and iPhones from the same "era" (and maybe up to some of today lower-end models).
We have the same optics (from Sony, I don't remember the exact model) as many Pixel phones (minus the Optical Image Stabilization) and we also benefit from the Image Signal Processor of a flagship SoC (Snapdragon 845).
