I have Xperia Z1c. No official MM, but so far many nice custom ROMs. Current state of things, camera-wise, is that the latest blobs have been integrated into AOSP, and those ROMs take nice pictures. CM has been slower with updates, but lately has made some progress. Unfortunately, only one of the MM ROMs that is CM bases, (Vanir), is under active development. The others still have same files from months ago. Here's the problem: built-in Snap app is buggy, and won't autofocus properly, but will take good pictures at random, you just can't control it, and all 3rd-party apps, although working well and taking excellent pictures, will not show anything on the screen, (all black), except app buttons, which all work fine. Anyone have any insight into this? Could it be a permissions issue or something?

Below is a list of apps which allow you to create a widget which when clicked instantly take a picture with your camera without making any noise.
- Uva Silent Widget Camera
- Camera Widget
- DeSpy Camera
- SPYoid
Whereas I know for a fact the first 3 have free versions which impose no limits. You can get them all from the market.
The problem: Any software offering this feature does not take the picture successfully and hangs the camera function until process is killed.
Tested all the above apps on a few other phones (non Motorola) and they all work perfectly fine.
How do I know that this is a D2G issue? I have tested this on a variety of different roms versions 2.1 through 2.3 and the problem is consistent.
This is an amazing feature. Does anyone know what's causing it to break?
Thanks ahead of time everyone!!
Hi there! I recently found out that Siyah Kernel allows dual booting on the S3, so I took the plunge and used it to install RootBox as my second ROM. I'm quite happy with it, but I'd love to have the Samsung camera's features back - particularly, the HDR and low light modes.
Does a mod exist that allows the TW camera to work, or has there been any previous technical discussion of this that may help me in my quest to make one?
I tried to port it myself with my minimal modding skills, but it turned out to be more complex than I expected: the furthest I got was getting the Samsung camera UI to appear and then pop up "Camera failed". I broke camera functionality entirely for all other apps, too
I'm now [slowly] downloading the Android source to see if I can make the necessary modifications to make Samsung's camera libraries work, but in the meantime, I'd love to know if there's something I missed in my searches. All I found was an XDA thread requesting a port of the GS3 camera to the GS2, and a thread on another board which included some interesting info from someone who had tried porting the GS3 camera to AOSP but nothing I didn't already know.
Any info on this would be appreciated. Thank you!
I dont think anyone is even trying. The aosp mod 2.60 in themes section is good but I recommend installing camera 360 from play for effects and cool hdr
The hdr is only an effect though

I took that as a challenge and have been working on it nonstop since yesterday
I have the camera working on my modded ROM now, I'm hoping to release the ROM and the source patches (for applying to other ROMs) once I get more of the features working (I would like to at least fix Low Light and the Camcorder) and knock out a couple issues like the app launching the non-existent TW gallery to view photos.
Here's a video as proof. Apologies for the quality, but I couldn't find a decent screen recording app: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYX4PSVDiIU
Now that I'm here again, I may as well ask- where would the best place be to post this? It's related to both a modded app and a modded ROM so I don't know whether it would fit better in Development or Themes/Apps.
Themes and apps, definitely

On all the previous devices I've had, when taking pictures in a low light environment the flash is used while focusing so the camera can see what it's looking at. However, on the DNA (running a Sense rom) that doesn't happen, and I end up with a lot blurry/unfocused shots. Is there any way to fix this? I like the Sense camera app (and hate the AOSP one) but this missing feature is a killer.

Mine works, try clearing the caches , if no go a factory reset
Question....The LG G3 takes some outstanding pictures and the Laser really helps for snappy focusing, but I wanted to know if 3rd party apps can take advantage of that as well? For Example, Camera FV-5 is usually my go-to app, but I don't really want to lose the snappiness that the Laser Focus gives the standard App. Do other apps take advantage of it or is this something that only works within the actual LG Camera App? Also, what about AOSP roms? Does it work on Camera apps if I'm on, let's say, CM or Paranoid?
I think I just found my own answer.....I swear I googled this before and couldn't find an answer, but came across this:http://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2ncdjs/best_app_for_camera_photovideo/
As suggested, I opened another camera app and looked to see if the laser had a red blinking light, and it surely did. This makes me "think" that other apps DO use it. As far as CM and/or Paranoid or any other AOSP OS goes, I guess I just have to install and see.
Hi all, I have a conceptual gap. Why are all of the custom ROMS in our dev section based on either Stock or CM13?
Stock makes sense to me; it's taking what we have and modifying it.
So what is special about the CM13 development that others are unable/unwilling to do?
Thanks
CM 13 is one of the most stable and popular ROMs around. Most of the developers try to develop for CM13 because of it's closeness to stock Android (although it has it's own useful features). If any other developer wants to bring new features to him own custom ROMs they generally pick up CM13. Part of the reason may be due to the number of users of CM. There are millions. And they have a great community.
Known CM issues:
* Camera hangs and sucks batttery like crazy if you do 2 hdr photos. Don't use hdr.
* dt2wake doesn't use the proximity sensor to filter bogus d2twake triggers and therefore can turn on too easily in your pocket.
* Fingerprint sensor not yet implemented! (Do not even ask for it, search the thread!)
