I really love the feeling of near stock android and want to have it but the camera apps on roms like lineage and ressurectionremix usually suck and waste this camera's potential, is there any way to have both? A custom rom with the stock camera?
No
At least not on most devices
I would recommend the pixel camera though

Hello. Recently I flashed PA ROM,I like it very much.I've been using stock ROMS forever but I got bored and wanted to try something new.My biggest criteria is the camera app,what I've heard that TW has much better quality video and photo compared to AOSP camera.I want to ask your opinions on this,maybe there's a camera app in the Play Store which is better than AOSP one.It's the one thing that keeps me away from AOSP ROMS.Maybe you have some ideas,share.
Since I bought my SGS2, I flashed custom roms specially AOKP.
I didn't feel any difference at all but the last time I was on stock rom, it was gingerbread. So many things changed since then.
You must try it yourself but I'm pretty sure there is no much difference for our phone!:good:

Try Camera Zoom FX app. Its good.
Or you can try Chameleon ROM. :good:
Hi all,
Since December I'm using a Redmi Note 2 Prime. I like the phone, but not a fan of Miui.
I tried one of the CM roms on here a few months ago, which was a big improvement in user experience for me. Only the poor image quality and slow focus speed was a big let down.
Is there any non-miui rom out there that equals the stock miui camera's image quality and focus speed?
Try the AOSP from vova.vafin. It is based on AOSP and has the Mediatek Camera so you won't lose any photo quality..

The photo quality will be the same, BUT You lose PDAF focus..
@tonydeli7; thanks for the suggestion, I'll have a look at the thread.
@galakty; hmm.. that's a shame. I really love the near-instant focus, crucial to capture my 2- and 4-year-old.
You can try MultiRom or Xiaomi.eu or Smiui(based on xiaomi.eu with a few tweaks)
All customs ROMs based on MIUI Stable/Developer but without Chinese bloat...and the same quality camera as stock!

Hi Tony, already running xiaomi.eu from day 1, but do not enjoy using Miui one bit.
Still can't find anything in the Settings menu. (Rant on: Why the h×ll are half the SIM settings hidden away under 'Privacy' in 'Additional Settings'? Why are the most used settings hidden under 'Additional Settings' as well? Why is Wireless Display' hidden under 'More' in ' Network', instead of 'Display'? Why do the pull-down notifications and power toggles take up 2 full HD screens, and still need scrolling to reach all toggles? Why can't I delete never used toggles? Rant off)
The list goes on, but generally I need to swipe & tap twice as much to get things done compared to Aosp or Cm.
The CM roms haven't made any progress regarding camera, and probably won't for the forseable future. I had a go at sMiui yesterday, but despite trimming most unused Miui stuff it used an extra 250MB compared to regular Miui (might be an error on my side though). Will try vova.vafin's Aosp rom tonight. See how I like the camera and overall user experience/stability.
I can say I'm on the same boat because I prefer AOSP..but until Xiaomi releases the kernel source,we will not have one that works like on Nexus phones. There is a trick to run the original android settings but they don't fully work :/
The ROM from vova.vafin is AOSP based on CM I think but he uses libraries from the MIUI for the camera. And also he is not using the stock camera but a camera named Mediatek Camera that is specially made for phones/tablets running MTK processors. I used it for one day just to test, the battery was almost close to stock and I didn't notice any change in camera quality. You might give it a try
Yeah, running the rom since early this evening, just doing the final tweaks in gravity box. So far it's looking good.
i've tried many roms, camera quality almost the same at all roms

I agree. Rom with best camera quality, except of course miui, right now, is vova's.
The BEST camera for sure.
Is this possible to port it at bules rom? Or just extract it and make it work somewhere else????
miui 6.4.14 with better camera
Miui of course has the best camera. We talk for custom roms here....
Does the custom roms camera is good as the stock emui camera
And have the image processing
Stock has manual focus. I can't make it work with custom ROMs.
never going to come closer to what stock camera can do. Its because companies has closed source repos with respect to like HTC manual focus. IT is very hard to get the quality of stock camera. Until unless anybody sit down and work on the closed source libraries to make them work with custom ROMs. But thats not happen... :good:
Stock camera always wins the race
I haven't been following any of the roms because I have a tmobile variant w/out root, but do you guys think that gcam works or can be modified to work with roms like a stock android-like rom and have the same camera quality as unrooted? I just thought because its able to be better than the stock camera app that it can carry over to other roms and look just as good or similar. Thanks.
There's no camera degradation when rooting (compared to Sony),
also you're able to run GCam on rooted and un-rooted Stock ROMs.
In fact it should also work on e.g. LineageOS and derivatives
Really? Wow great , then I'll be definitely rooting when it comes around to T-Mobile devices. Thanks.
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.

Thanks for the replied guys i really appreciate it, do you know if WiFi hotspot is working on Lineage or Pixel EXP ? i use that for work and require it from time to time.

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....
