Good camera for Android 4.3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to know if there is a good alternative for the stock camera app. Not an app, a mod or a camera from another version of Android that work fine on 4.3. I'd love Camera mod 2.56 and the one from note2 but Ican't intall them on 4.3

yeah, I have focal but... I can't record videos with it. So for now I'm using stock but I dislike the way you configure it by touch and swipe-up. I will try the JG+ and will see. I'm searching for a comparison on quality of the pics taken bu every mod I can run on my SGS3 but it's hard. Maybe I will do it one day

[Q] Camera apk for AOSP 2.3.5 Rom

Hi guys, i have AOSP 2.3.5 ROM installed on my i9100.
Works perfectly but i don't like Android Camera so i want to ask you if it's possible to install a different Camera.apk like Sensation's once or SGS2 itself!
PS: I hate all camera application in the Market

Do you have a link to the hacked apk?
I tried a few but I couldn't get it working, probably downloaded the wrong one
I think i need a Camera.apk compatible on my AOSP Rom, but i can't find it!
The camera from MIUI (the one with the ability to do 1080p video) FCs after pushing it to system/apps
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130951
If you have one that works, please let us know where to get it. AOSP/CM7 camera app (for a lack of a better word) sucks. I'd prefer the stock Samsung camera app, but that won't work on non-Samsung ROMs.

Tried it, but didn't like it. I haven't found any camera app on the market that I like. All of them have some kind of gimmick.
I just want one that gives the kind of features as the Samsung OEM camera or MIUI camera does without the ads and flashy gimmicks.

i only tried the AtrICS rom as an android 4.0+ rom and what i discovered was that the flasher is not timed correctly. It flashes before the pic is taken so the pic is dark though the flasher is on. And the flasher brightness was also low. aren't you having such problems? If not in my opinion best camera app for an ICS or newer rom is camera JB+. i flashed back to mrom because there were many issues, not only camera problems. And now the camera's flasher is timed correctly back again and the flasher brightness is also strong as before. So if you are not using an android 4.0+ ROM i would go for camera ICS+ or Pro capture

oh really? i can't actually make a purchase right now so maybe you can give it a shot :fingers-crossed:
there is a 4.2 modded camera app that must be flashed in CWM, it enables a lot of features not avaible by default in the devices, you should search it in apps and games(or development) in Android General, dude, that is the best camera app i used in my phone, but ya know, opinion is like an a**, each one have its own.
The Leaked ICS camera app is the best I have used, is it possible to port it over to another ROM (CM10)?
Actually I use Wondershare PowerCam it's free, no ads, nice effects, faster startup time and maybe a better picture quality against my paid Camera Zoom Fx!
Now, I'm going to test FxCamera and Cymera
I have tried a few camera apps as well but ultimately settled on camera zoom FX. It takes pretty nice shots without having to surf through a bunch of set up options. but it also has features you might use down the road. I'm more of a point and shoot type person so YMMV.

If you search for a free app, the best is Camera 360..paid, the best is Camera Zoom FX..

[Q] Fastest ROM

Introduction:
Hi everyone! I'm currently running Chip v1.5 with Entropy's kernel on my US YP-G70. It's great, but I'm wondering if there is a faster ROM to use (eg: less CPU use and less resource-consuming background processes). JoyOS seems great but I'm wary of the slow wireless connecting and iOS theme.
What I'm Looking for (MUST):
- fully working camera (taking photos and videos, and not just on fastburst)
- working wi-fi and bluetooth
- GPS compatibility with Gapps (apparently some ROMS - forgot which specifically - have GPS issues)
- Built-in non-stock launcher (as in the stock launcher is removed and some other launcher is installed as the only and default launcher)
- light (low RAM usage, like LewaOS claims 200 MB+ free)
- fast
It Would Be Nice to Have...
- customizable lockscreen built-in (or an option to disable the lockscreen so I can use WidgetLockscreen without excess processes)
- overclocking (don't worry - I won't go crazy and set it above 1.2-ish)
- Samsung bloatware removed
Closing Statement:
Please comment below to suggest me some ROMs that satisfy the above conditions. With the requirement of a working camera and bluetooth, I'm probably looking for a Stock/GB-based ROM. On a last note, I know you devs out there put a lot of work into your ROMs, so I hope I'm not coming off as unappreciative.

Actually, I would love to use CM 10.1 with Sultan kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252851) to get that wonderful 441MB RAM but people keep saying that neither bluetooth nor the camera works. Perhaps the tweaks you mentioned deal with those? Btw thanks, TheKryptonite, for helping me out again.

Bluetooth works and both cameras work (albeit you can only take pictures with the rear camera using FastBurst). There is also a video fix zip file floating around that will give you video recording functionality.
I wouldn't really call it working when you can take 800x480 "pictures" but always something. 3mpx quality was awfuk too. I have to try that fastburst

It still works, but the pictures with the rear cam just won't be as good quality. Some other devs and I are working on it though

Why causes it to be in poor quality?

Because capturing pictures doesn't work, only preview does. So they take screenshots using fast burst. But image previews are bad quality. So they're trying to fix the camera

as far the the best performing rom u really should stick with stock based roms. that just my advice if you were to update u must realize that you must sacafice a few features but your than also get a ton of new minor ones back i guess it just depends on your own preference.
I'm not looking for jb roms in particular, so gb-in fact, any-roms are fine with me, given they satisfy the criteria, of course

port applications

Greetings
If I want to port some applications of the system for more rom, what i do?
For example, if i want port camera of official ROM for a miui ROM,what i do?
Thanks
Yeah you would have to decompile the apk and doo some magic and recompile it again i dont think a sense camera will work on a miui rom use a app from play store instead

If you want the best camera for the amaze then you need to run a sense based ROM. All of the "magic" that allows us to fully utilize the features of our cameras, such as ISO adjustment and continuous autofocus are tied into sense. Every other camera whether it's a standalone or included in another ROM lacks these features as they are proprietary to HTC. So you can experiment trying any camera you like, but unless you're running a sense ROM you have to accept a less capable camera app than the stock one. I hope this clarifies things.

[Q] Samsung Camera App on a custom rom???

I'm rooting my Verizon Galaxy S4 (16g) with Cyanogenmod but only thing that stops me right now is the camera. The camera on the phone works great with Samsung's camera software. But since I'm moving on from Touchwiz to Cyanogenmod, I'm curious if there is any way to keep the Samsung's camera app on a custom rom. Thank you.
Unfortunately the Samsung Camera App requires the Touchwiz framework. It doesn't work on AOSP roms. You can try the Eclipse rom. It has that AOSP look and feel but is touchwiz based so it has the Samsung Camera app on it. The dialer, settings, contacts, and notification panels are all AOSP.

You can only use it on a TW rom. It hooks into proprietary TW framework that we can't get source code for to port to AOSP.
If you use a GPE rom, such as the one by Danvdh, it's a little different. Since these are built on the GPE device base they're still AOSP roms but they use Samsung drivers for the camera. It's still as not as good as the full TW camera, but with a third party app (Google's camera still sucks) it's the best camera experience you'll get on AOSP on this phone.

All very true.. Have you used that Lenovo Super Camera??? I thougt it was really cool, comparable to the Wiz Camera, just depending on which version you found it either required all sorts of permissions/libraries . if we could scrounge up just an easy to install... No permissions Lenovo that'd be cool

Yeah I tried it right when it got pulled from that Intel phone Lenovo came out with, I've never been much of a camera aficionado though. I thought the gallery app was really cool but a lot of Chinese all over the place lol.
