Currently running ViperOne and I find that the camera pics that it produce is very grainy even at the highest resolution possible.

Which ROM do you like that have the best camera/video quality?

Thanks,

I personally don't think you will find a rom that will produce good pics on the HTC one. The fact is in my opinion the HTC one has the crappiest camera out there. Its an amazing phone with a horrible camera. If it had the lumia 1020 camera, this phone would be the best phone in the planet! I still like it cause love the sound and the build quality. But they dropped the ball in the camera big time. Hopefully the M8 will correct that. Fingers crossed.

Personally I like the camera on the One. I came from a Galaxy SII with an 8MP camera and I thought that was pretty good, but the One's camera might not be the highest resolution but it puts those 4MPs to better use. As for the OP's question, I think you should try the camera from the 2.25 base, it's in the Themes and Apps section. It can make gifs too for what it's worth. But honestly I can never tell the difference in picture quality between the sense camera apps.

Any Sense rom will be pretty much the same. IMHO, the HTC camera is better than the CM/AOSP one, so your grainy pictures might be as good as it gets.

What build quality? Seriously? All those gap problems, and screen not being flush with the speaker grill, speaker grill overhang/underhang, makes me think HTC is low quality even though there's so little that can go wrong. Build quality is one of my major complaint about HTC One.

Most ROM's use up to date firmware bases, so there's little that can be done to improve picture quality. I think HTC One's camera is the best for indoor/low light shots. Colors are still there, and the photos are actually worth printing 4x6. For bright daylight, I think it is lower than average though. Grainy blue artificial looking sky.

Well, my One looks pretty good. Don't see any gaps here or there. Screen looks great.But if anybody has any of those problems you mentioned, they should exchange it or get a different cell. S4 is pretty good from what I hear. But don't like the fact that speaker is on back of phone. Regarding camera again, I get some good shots here and there. On phone screen they look good but when you check the full resolution in you computer, like you said "4x6" only will do. "Ultrapixel", who they kidding.

I see.

Yes the pics on the phone screen looks decent, but when you try to view the pics on a laptop or 10" tablet at full resolution, it looks too grainy, lacking sharpness/detail, and a little too much artifacts.

I guess it's what one should expect from a 4MP pixel camera.
