The Galaxy S has a really cool panaroma feature, which allows us to take panaromic pictures by just rotating the phone in a swift motion. Has anyone extracted the camera app so that it can be used on other phones also? If not, is there any 3rd party app that can provide similar functionality.
Im interested in it too. I tried to install camera.apk from a galaxy to my droid without success by now.

I love the cyanogen roms but hate the stock camera app, is it possible to get like the galaxy s camera app, the sense one or droid x app to work on cyanogen? and I know about vignette, and stuff but they arent something id use EVERYDAY.
Hi everybody,
Before the Nexus S, I'd the Samsung Jet, nice phone with a very good camera application, especially the panorama option.
Unfortunately, on the nexus the camera app is really simple, and I can not find a good application with panorama option.
So I've tried to install directly the camera.apk coming from the SGS2 on my phone, but it seems to be impossible :-(
Anyone knows how I can get it?!
I suppose that it's impossible to install the ROM of the SGS2 directly on the nexus that there are both Samsung's products....
Thanks
Nico
You can't. The Galaxy S2 uses TouchWiz.
TouchWiz 4 needs to be ported onto the Nexus S in order for the camera to work.
This is a PURE Google device.
Thanks for your quick answer
So I need to have TouchWiz 4, if I want to install the camera app....
But I though it was just a launcher, no?!

You need the touchwiz framework not only launcher which is not ported

No. That was not ported, that was just taken from the ROM and put on here. It was just a coincidence that the launcher doesn't rely on the Framework.
All of the Samsung code apps like Phone/Contacts/Browser/Camera/etc all use code from something known as a framework. Without that framework, it won't function. And the framework is specifically designed for THAT particular phone and won't work on any other phone.
The framework is also closed source. So it becomes complicated to port. Is it doable? Yeah.
Would I count on a dev to port it and make it fully working and fast? No.
If you dislike the stock camera, look for alternatives. MIUI Camera (apart of the MIUI framework, Camera 360 (app), etc.
Thanks a lot for your comments.
I've already tried others version of camera but I didn't find yet the good version.
What are the differences between the Gallery app on the Verizon version vs a plain HTC edition?
The VZW Gallery app has the Verizon cloud icon right on the main screen and I have no desire to use it. Is there any way to remove it?
I find the automatic effects at the top of each section extremely annoying and can't find a way to turn it off. What is worse is that I want to use the special editing abilities that come with the Duo Camera so I think I am stuck with this gallery as no 3rd party gallery apps have those features.

Disable Verizon cloud in apps. I disabled it and I don't have the Verizon cloud icon in my gallery.

I was upgrading some of the system apps on my phone with KitKat versions, since the LG stock versions weren't that great. I downloaded the KitKat camera app, and from what I read, was advised to remove the stock camera app to prevent any problems. I backed up the stock LG camera app on my SD card, and installed the KitKat camera app. I got the panorama mode to work, as well as the filters in the KitKat gallery app. I thought everything was working, so I deleted my backed up camera app, only to figure out later on that the Kitkat camera app would freeze anytime I tried to take a video. Granted, the camera on my phone sucks horribly, but I could not find a way to get it to work with the Kitkat camera app or even the early 4.2 Camera/Gallery app. So what I'm asking is, can anyone upload the LG camera apk and odex file that comes with the LG Optimus Dynamic II? Or would it be possible to try and get my video camera to work with the Kitkat or 4.2 camera app? I've uploaded a cat log file, but I'd rather not do much work since the camera is not that great at all, and I just want to be able to take videos on my phone.
I'm coming from a One Plus X before getting a S7 Edge 935F.
Very happy about the hardware but the software is not as friendly as on the One Plus X.
My mine problem is that I can't see "Photos" (Google Photos) in the Gallery.
On my old device it was an album inside Gallery. Made it easy to share a pic by SMS, FB and IG.
Is there a way to get this back on to my device? A mod, a hack or simply a setting I can't seem to find.
Thanks for your help!
Install the gallery app from the one plus x? Seems like its an app feature that samsung doesn't have.
