Greetings.
I would like to try some custom roms, especially because of the camera and battery life. Unfortunately I cannot find any comparison between stock & custom roms on these two issues.
Please, can anybody post some screenshots or experiences?

When I tried out aosp and resurrection remix I noticed a drop in camera quality, and loss of image stabilization. I tried different camera apps but none were as good as the stock one. The good thing is that the lineage beta now has the stock sony camera (thanks to modpunk).
Would it be possible to get GCam using AOSP Rom?

Probably not. Sony disabled RAW image support which is needed for Google Camera HDR processing. I tried all GCam ports and all of them are crashing because of that.

AOSP
I made a post on r/sonyxperia about my experience on russel5's AOSP extended ROM. I can't post the links on xda yet but if you go on that subreddit and search AOSP xz1c you will find it. There is also a link to a photo album in a comment reply so you can see some sample shots.
In short the camera is far better thanks to the working gcam mod and the battery remains almost the same, perhaps slightly better on stock.

I struggle to get an unblurred shot in gcam on AEX. The rom is excellent, except for my photos using gcam.
I come from a dying stock z5c that just took unblurred photos on auto.
I bought this XZ1C new, backed up DRM, unlocked then flashed this ROM, without thinking to try camera first, doh.
Any suggestions on how to get best shots with gcam?

My experience with the XZ1 compact is that it's really slow to focus, the slowest of any Sony mobile I've ever owned. Forget the PR blurb about laser focus, you need to hold it still for at least three seconds before pressing the shutter. Also try pressing the screen to take the picture rather than the camera button, sometimes the action of pressing the button adds to the blur.
For best results put it in a tripod and use a bluetooth shutter release or put it on self timer, the difference in quality is noticeable.
I haven't tried the GCAM mod from Russle, but I think general consensus is that using manual settings on the stock camera outperforms any third party apps, so if pictures is your priority, then flash a stock rom and use janjan's modded kernel to fix the camera.

I found I get the best shots when I open the camera app and let it autofocus itself. For me it usually focuses well (only struggling sometimes in low light). However once I start tapping on the viewfinder, I find it almost locks itself in an unfocused state. Closing (not killing) and reopening the app usually refocuses the image straight away. It's not ideal but I get much better results than stock this way, especially in high dynamic range environments which I guess makes sense.
I went through the trouble of setting up AEX and have to agree that the GCam ports I tried, while fully working, do not produce good results. With default settings the shots are grainy and full of color noise. Focus hunts so slowly that the only shots I got in focus were mostly accidental. I went in and played with all the settings but nothing really helped. I'm comparing the results to my Galaxy S8 running a GCam port with phenomenal results using default settings. It's odd because the DNG files side-by-side look very similar so I have no idea why the computational secret sauce isn't working.
I considered using AEX as a daily driver just for the novelty of having an Xperia device with full RAW support but found it slow/unresponsive compared to LOS so I've switched back.

Oh god the camera is bad, all I ask for is a decent camera that can snap pictures of words on maybe a whiteboard from a distance when I'm in a meeting and god does the image look horrible when I zoom is, there is no detail at all sort of like an over sharpening of a blur image. God even the nexus 4 has a much clearer image than this although that's plagued by its far I share of focusing bugs

Hey mate. Don't despair. Just load a 3rd party camera app. I'm going between Camera Zoom FX and Camera FV-5 at the moment. I think FV-5 is going to be my choice.
There's not much wrong with the optics on the Ultra just too much native compression from Sony's own app.
So with a better app I'm seeing much better results.

Trust me, ive tried. They look more or less the same, ive tried it all. The paid verions for fx, fv5, focal, motox camera, ics camera+ and hdr camera. They all look more or less the same, the details seems to be like a chalk painting when zoomed in. Even in the thread, the leaves edges seems to be like chalk smudge, i just need a fix that will let me take a goddamn picture of my office notes on a projected screen ahh
after root i threw in the gallery app from aosp and it included the camera app too. works fine. lets me to those photospheres too

Hi Beerope.
I'm with you on this.
I get the feeling that camera apps on google market still use the same sony provided codecs for compression when using a stock rom.
Sony ZU codecs and camera force a file size of under 2mb which is why the definition when zoomed in is so crap...
I have a theory that if you use a rom like CM10.x or AOSP that the picture quality will be greatly improved when using third party camera apps or even the native camera apps as those roms are using the standard android codecs.
This will also be evident in the file sizes generated by those camera apps.
Unfortunately I cant test as I need my phone for work purposes (so it remains on stock) at the moment and haven't got time to experiment with custom roms yet.
I'm currently on 510 and refuse to got to 526 or 532 due to the weird SODs I keep reading about.
My previous ZU had 526 and had so many problems with random screen clicking.
My current ZU is on 510 and I've had no problems at all - rock solid no random clicking but obviously the picture quality from the camera sucks...
---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------
Also we may be able to improve the quality by using methods similar to those described in this thread...

CM10.2 (flavours) are a little better. The file size is an issue as image artifacts are greatly reduced. It is a problem Sony needs to sort out. 3rd part apps can only improve so much. its up to firmware.

Serious serious problem with Camera right now Dear DEVS. Please get together and fix OOS 3.1.4 camera on Nougat so HDR/HFR recording etc all work perfectly. this is the MAJOR issue with OPX Nougat right now.
I'm not sure real HFR can work (you mean recording at 120fps?).... HDR isn't a must.
But for all the stuff the hal ported in Candy 7 is enought for me. I would like the Panorama but I can live without it.
Low light shots are way better and videos are really smoother.
Someone has already ported OOS cam on Nougat.
Did not tested it, but it seems to work.

Port doesnt work well on nougat anymore. regular recording on OOS port lasts only 40-80 seconds before crashing. Panorama and Manual mode are the real juice of this camera need that for sure. HDR i agree isn't a must.

Check your PMs...
HFR works with my fork of Sultan's HAL, but I have some work to do to get it working right so it's been blocked off. Panorama won't ever come to it as the HAL forces ZSL to be enabled as without it, photos take a hit. Especially with passive autofocus. HDR should be possible. It will be a bit though.
As for the OOS HAL, I'm sure Ashwin and CheckYourScreen have some great plans afoot for it though so if you prefer it, use their work. Give them time too. If they're anything like me, they have several classes to focus on right now. I'm a mess with development because of it
Candy makes use of Sultan's HAL and so will every forthcoming project from me. It isn't perfect right now, but I do plan to expand on it, and do have some work ahead of me. It's just a matter of preference.

Thanks for the update. i prefer OOS HAL for the Panorama mode. really look forward to whats in store for it. hopefully a lot of goodies!!
oh and hope u get some more time for development here.
I would seriously like this. What is the point in having a hobbled, broken camera when all you're really losing is panorama? I much prefer having manual controls, smooth video recording (highspeed and slow motion) and a camera that doesn't lag just because I'm not in direct sunlight.
Someone ported sultans hal for nougat roms. You can find it in Ashwins los thread. Perhaps that's what you are looking for.

Post is deleted, there's no mirror. Also from what I can tell from quoted replies he just repackaged the original zip file. The roms he tested it on can use the old HAL zip from April of last year with the same broken video recording on some roms and total lack of functionality on others.
All I really care about really is just the low-light fps fix. That's the only reason why I'm still using Sultans rom with the hal.
Hey guys, I just ordered the phone today and it'll be arriving in not more than a month or so.
I'm curious if Camera quality really is different depending on the ROM because of the libs, framework or IDK, enlighten me.
Question is in the title anyway, thank you!
Google camera HDR+ app on nougat roms. Pretty good HDR pics and great in low light.
someone took the app from google phones and made it usable with phones with snapdragon 820
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-ported/
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-customization-raw-support/
Heyyo, eh camera quality is kinda subjective... For me? I do prefer Nougat ROMs with the modified google camera as mentioned before.
There is one downside to Nougat ROMs though and that's the camera flash... Sadly the way LeEco implemented the flash via I2C doesn't work well with current nougat ROMs thus it isn't perfectly synched with the camera. So for dark photos with flash? Marshmallow ROMs are still better in that condition. I rarely take photos with flash so I'm not too concerned but just gonna mention it so you know too

Here's a bunch of photos I took with the Google camera mod with HDR+ set to auto as it tends to work best on auto for a balanced shutter speed and quality.
https://goo.gl/photos/zsxYdUGLJGbkBRD28
So yeah, thus far Nougat with the modded google camera works darn good.
Here's the version of it I'm using
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120756004
Like I mentioned previously the only downside to Nougat camera quality is flash synchronization. It's not perfect as LeEco uses I2C and thus far the community developers sadly have not been able to mimic it in custom Nougat ROMs... Sadly LeEco will probably never release the source code for it...
If flash synchronization is extremely important to you? That would be the only reason I'd stick with a Marshmallow ROM.

The EUI versions still have a much superior focus but GCam has a incredible better quality on night photos. I swap betwen EUI and RR Nougat from time to time to test new versions for GCam.
Also on Nougat you can enable EIS on all cam apps

Do we have that on Official/Marshmallow based Custom ROMs? And do you have some apps that simulate [email protected] FPS?
AFAIK, no rom has 60 fps with 1080p, even the official MM roms.
In fact, I don't think you can record 60 fps in any resolution, even 720p and below. You do have slow-mo [email protected], looks a bit pixelated though.
P.S.: 4k and 1080p might have artefacts in official roms, noticed that when I got mine a week ago. It's a case of low video bitrate, if you bump up the bitrate (with 3rd party apps)- you can go all the way up to 100mb/s - there's no artefacts.

On the official MM roms, if you pointed the camera at the sky you could notice a lot of artefacts from the compression (low bitrate, around 20 mb/s). Bumping it up to 30 or 40 removed the artifacts
The last post I found about this was from september, so can anyone tell me what's the best gcam mod so far?
in both terms of image quality and adaptation (being able to use frontal camera would be a pleasure)
I am using this:
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/PMGC_7.0.009_Astrophotography_Version_V7.apk
I´ve tested 4 or 5 gcam mods so far, but really, the differences are very small. Most of them denoise the pictures too much, I prefer the more grainy pictures from the stock cam, they are showing more details in most of the pictures I´ve taken, in daylight and in low light situations.

It's kinda sad to hear that. Do you remember any mod with not much denoise effect?
I think it is a good thing. So I don´t have to switch between two Cam Apps. Its all personal preference. If one likes the smooth, degrained and denoised pictures because they´re "looking better" on a small display, go ahead.
If it comes to details, white balance and which one is closer to what I see with my eyes, stock cam wins 9 out of 10 times - in MY eyes.
+1, tried a bunch of gcam mods and in the end dumped them all. I was not happy with post-processing and heavy details reduction. Probably ok for Instagram.
My only complaint about the stock cam is inconvenient UI especially in Pro mode.

In Settings there is "Show gridlines" checkbox. It enables 3x3 grid.

Thanks. I swear I've looked and somehow missed it.
i think the best gcam 6 mod is this:

And this on gcam 7 mod, has an insane tweak lib patcher, you can adjust sharpness, tone curve... its just amazing. Photos from front cam are not so good:

Nice. But I can't seem to find a way to enable the wide angle lens.
I have no idea how relevant this is (or up to date) but this may be a good place to discuss it. (Maybe there is some more info in the comments of the video?)
Hi everyone!
I just got my A3. Any progress on GCam vs Stock? There are SO many GCams..
Thanks!
I tried all that worked with the Mi A3 (upto v 7.3) but still preferred the stock cam. Yes, the UI for Pro sucks.
Gcam files are larger than stock and stock cam colours are realistic compared to gcam.
I am not a developer. I am just someone who likes photography and the M31 is an amazing phone to take stunning photos with. The software (it's ok?), the 64mp camera, the macro, the wide angle. It's a competitor to fear. The only problem is, when it comes to Software Optimization for each sensors and lens, Samsung can't beat Google. They did everything right except that software part. It's good but it can't beat gcam. I heard there was support for the old M30. If that community or any developer for gcams sees this I hope you see potential in this phone. I will really love to see a gcam mod for this phone.
Thx

Try using gcam for a51. Check their forums for it. It may work as they have the same chipset.

UPDATE: GCAM FROM A51 installed ON M31
POTRAIT NOT WORKING
Pictures not saving
Selfies don't save either
Ui is glitchy while in the panorama mode.
But for the first time I can see something from the camera so that's a first.
Hope a developer can work on this

it works and imma start a new thread for google camera comparison pics.
My config is optimized for Selfie pics, HDR works but not that good, also the toggles for HDR doesn't work, its enabled by default, the developer is currently working on an alternative method to use Camera2 API features, we will have to wait.

I've been using ZGCAM on my S10e for a while now. Even with the superior processor, there is a slight processing time for HDR.
On the M31 (far slower processor than the S10e) there is no processing time. That's because HDR isn't working.
If you can, please post some sample images which show a noticeable difference over the stock cam.
