Samsung has already released a Nexus with a below average camera
I think Sony makes money (from HTC and Samsung) from the camera software being licensed. It wouldn't make sense to give it away to the competition for free. It would be nice, I am just not seeing it in the near future.
My hope/theory is that Google will license some software and create a Google camera app that will be bundled with the other Google apps like Gmail and the others. It would not have to be released into AOSP because it is not a part of Android but a proprietary Google app. AOSP would still keep the crap stock app. But Google certified devices (those allowed to ship with Google apps) would be allowed to install the Google camera app.

One of the reasons that Samsung and HTC and Apple have such great cameras is due to the software used to process the images. All of the software used is either proprietary or licensed from a outside source (very likely Sony due to the fact that most OEMs use Sony optics). Because the software used is not owned by the OEM or Google it can not be used in a Nexus device. If it was used in a Nexus device it would have to pushed out in the AOSP source code. I don't think any of the OEMs want to open source the secrets that make their cameras so great.

I will try to drag the family out for a little road trip on Sunday. They LOVE going with dad to sit in parking lots looking at cell towers

Unless you are using éclair or earlier versions of Android, task killers are at best a complete waste of time, at worst they are actually bad for your phone.

I thought it might be a good idea to have some open dialog between the many users of Sensorly from this site and the maker off this very useful app.

As others have said, a custom ROM will not fix it. Trust me, if it did it would be in my ROM.
The "fix" if it exists would be in the radio updates that come with some OTAs.
