Try loading the camera through the app list and disabling the GPS tagging.

Saw a post about this a while back. I'll see if I can find it for you
EDIT: Couldn't find it But it might be worth searching some more through here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=75142484 and doing a better search

Many thanks for your help ....tried disabling geo tagging ....didn't seem to resolve the issue ....hopefully a software update will sort this out .... Yeah will try and do a more comprehensive search ....to tell the truth I didn't actually search :-/

Remove Camera App and Use SnapPhoto by adb?

What i was thinking if we could remove the camera app and replace it with Snapphoto to make it the default camera?
Please tell me if this is possible and if the button for the camera on the side of the phone if we can make it be used to activate the SnapPhoto App?
Thanks

If i had to guess yes you can.
Since Snap gives you the option to be set as default.
MOD EDIT: removed instructions
Might wanna wait till someone with more expertise confirms or directs you to correction.
Would you still be able to update SnapPhoto from the Market if you did this?
thanx for the adb code
im going to try it out right now
ok it works find i just made a mistake.
Thanks mikey1022!!

Yeah just like normal
Found a problem.
i made SnapPhoto to the default camera, but when im going to attach to a message and i choose camera and i get unexpected error
any solution?
I remember reading somewhere on the forum if you delete the camera.apk, you wouldn't be able to change your wallpaper & you might lose your pictures app. Are you still able to change the wallpaper & browse your pics?
Sounds like you need to place Camera.apk back in
the Camera app is built in and can not be removed without consequence.
It controls more than just the camera
is there a reason you want to replace it? you can have both at the same time.
I would have to guess....space
Ill go back so dum of me but i didnt back up the apk. so should I just reflash my current blue star 5 theme?
ALWAYS BACKUP EVERYTHING...fyi
If you need I will upload both the apk and odex
why delete the original camera software? just set SnapPhoto as the default camera and it will open when you press the shutter button.
Menu > Settings > Set as default camera
works fine
neoobs, hey my pictures app went away so if you could upload that for me would that include the pictures app with the camera app or could you upload those both please!!!!!
We know that.....why? unless he tells use, we can guess.
It happend, its over, hopefully he learned something out of this
BACKUP.
Plus that/this is also how he/myself learn also.
Taking the easy road at times isn't always fun. Take what this forum is all about. Taking things to their limits one way or another.

FINAL CONCLUSION: DO NOT DELETE CAMERA.APK

[WIP]Arc / Neo Camera App on Play

First things first: Im not a code guru - I just have some expirience on other android devices and can't promise that my attempts will work succesfully.
So I'm trying to port the camera app from the Arc to our Play.
Looks like we will need to modify the libs, as the camera installs flawless but gives errors on start "No camera found".
Only tried the Arc app, as I didnt get my hands on the Neo dump yet.
Here the zip with (i hope) all libs and the apk itself.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kti4anb9lx7qyv8/cam__anzu.zip
Attempt #1
Copy & Paste all camara related libs from the arc to the play
FAILED - if you overwrite the play-own cameralib.so the phone hungs up in a bootloop.
That sounds cool. I'll take that the arc camera interface is custom made and not as ours the native android?
Regards Dousan...
Thats the reason behind this whole story
Their custom app for the cam looks more cool and sofar i know has more options (or atleast they are better sorted)
Great Looking forward to your updates/progress
Regards Dousan...
Does this mean we will have HD recording?

If some of the real devs can make the libarys accept 720p recording, probably yes. as the camera seems to be capable to record in that high res. (eg. the htc desire has also a 5mp cam and record 720p flawlessly)
Can you make R the shutter button and maybe L just focussing?
ill help, ive coded a few apps for iphone 4 (cydia)
can you upload anything camera related from the arc, and include directories? thank you!
if anyone used the iFlat series themes, i was behind all the coding for the weather, time etc, im known as xX-SicKsKiLZz-Xx over at iFans
im also working on remapping the buttons, im seeing how the market camera apps remap buttons and working from there.
uploaded the apk and the libs, see 1st post
hold on, did you fix permissions after copying/pasting? thats the only reason i can see why you ended up in a boot loop.
i did. 10 signs.
just checking
ok, i spent all day on this, i managed to remap the camera button and its fully working in the native camera app, theres still a bug i need to figure out, the bug is that if you keep hold of the R button, it focuses but doesnt take a picture.
also, i managed to get the arc camera app working, you have to remove ALL old camera related stuff and replace it with the arcs stuff, then double check permissions.
theres still bugs, none of the features in the arcs camera app work, it FC's if you even try to take a picture.
im rewriting the all of the libs, ill post with updates & uploads tommorow

I second that ! great idea
I spent a few days on this when the arc and play were rooted.. think we will be able to get this working but need to wait until we can get some custom kernel action as there seems to be a link to the arc in the app... or possibly someone smarter then me can break the .apk apart (easy) and find the expression etc that limits its use to neo/arc (the hard part)
anyways thats my 0.02c
EDIT
just read

Its the stock android camera app, still they removed the the zooming slider for the sake of the front-face camera changer icon thingy stuff...whatever ^^;

"Touch a face to crop" - No thanks, how do I get a normal crop?

My wife's AT&T One X just started doing this weird thing where instead of the normal crop interface within the stock gallery app, it's putting boxes around any faces it detects and won't let us do a "normal" crop (with the resizable rectangle). How do we get rid of this? Just want to resize a picture and we can't.
Stock ROM, HTC Gallery application.
Thanks,

I just noticed the same problem with my HTC One. I don't know which moron thought this was a good idea but it need to be gone and soon! I can no longer crop a photo to just include the people. It's a lone face or nothing. Who thinks that junk is useful?

Try going into camera settings and turn face recognition off. It may work.

Not on my HTC One with Sense 5. I turned off face detection, took a photo of people (faces aren't detected), then hit Edit, Transform, Crop. The "Touch a face to crop" message pops up immediately and the faces are highlighted. I can't custom-crop unless I go through a slow process of tapping a face and expanding the crop boundary several times, making it zoom out bit by bit.
I'm on 1.29.841.2.

Works just fine for me on CleanROM 6.5, and on past ROMs I've been on. Crop "frame" starts at a face, but I can resize and reposition it, as you would expect to. Face detection is "on" in camera settings. I don't think this is an issue with the way the feature is designed, but maybe just a glitch on certain devices/ROMs or a setting issue.

[APK]Focal - New CM Camera APP

found this apk floating around xda.
can't remember the original OP I snagged it from.
no need to flash.
no need to push.
just install the APK.

working for me on touchwiz rom(mf9).
enjoy.
:thumbup:
Still really buggy, for some reason the panorama crashes the app and the last video Ive tried recording showed it was recording but it didnt. SSo be careful if you plan on using this as your daily camera app.

yea its still in testing according to cm..
installing the apk does not replace your current camera though so no worries really..
still fun to check out and mess around with!

Yea its definitely fun to play around with. Dont get me wrong, when the bugs are ironed out this is going to be far superior than the stock camera ui. Im going to make the switch for sure, but as it is right now I thought Id let peeps know that you may not get the video you think your recording when using this.
not working for me! app starts, all options are there, but no picture - no back nor front camera view. help? original post?
This happened to me a few times, but it always FC'd when I tried to exit out and after restarting it worked again.

try clearing the apps data
:what:
Works for me in pacman alpha cm10.2-android 4.3. Had to clear data first now works perfectly.
It wasn't this apk. Just came in the rom.

Extremely Buggy
Will be my favorite camera app when it works. All kinds of problems. Sometimes clearing the data works, but the next time I want to use it, I have to clear the data again. But even so, it may or may not work... If you open the picsphere deal, then close it, and try to open it again, it won't open. The settings allow you to change them, but they don't change the image at all (unless the data clearing works...). It also should allow us to save to SD card. I use the version(s) deployed with CM Nightlies. I wish they would give this some love... They may be working on it, however, the change logs don't reflect any updates... Please make this app stable!
Using CM10.2 Nightlies on Sprint Galaxy S 4...
This app is now available in the google play store in beta form. I have to say it's pretty good, not quite ready for prime time but definitely puts the stock camera app to same in many places.

Only issue on my end is that the pictures are warped. Both cameras seem like they have a fish-eye effect.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Great beta app! This will be great when completed! I just downloaded the beta from the play store (since it's not included in CM any longer) and it's still super buggy... So, is there any recommended course of action to clear any data that may cause issues for users? I read somewhere to simply clear the data via app settings and reboot, but it didn't help with my in-app settings issue. Basically, I can change the exposure setting, yet the image does not change at all. I also attempt to change the white balance, yet the change never applies to the image. Every once in awhile, the app will mysteriously work, until I close out of that particular instance. Then it reverts to the preformentioned state...
I've been hesitant to make this my default camera because I kept having issues with it and photo sphere is broken. ;/
^ don't dig up old threads. Focal is on the Play Store.

Default Gallery App Change

Hi
Seems like Google Photo's is hard coded to be the default picture viewer.
If you install something else you are not prompted to choose the new default as you would expect.
Disabling google photo's and trying to force new default doesn't work either.
Perhaps with future ROM?
Anything anyone achieved without root etc. till now? Thanks.
Reorienting back and recent keys seems like a no go either, what do people do to get round that?
Thanks for any tips already.

Tryna different camera. Counterintuitive? Maybe. Probably. Definitely. But you will get the option that you want.
But this has ALWAYS been the case with HTC. I have installed the HTC camera app on other phones, and it was imperative to have the HTC Gallery app to be able to review the photos after they are taken. I know that it's a different gallery app that we are taking about, but I think have the Camera App is the real issue here. The app defines the default photos app.
I may be wrong, but that's something that I discovered a while back.

You could use a custom rom like leedroid, there you can define your favorite app for pictures and it will launch from the camera.
And you can use custom roms without root.

Sure I know about that, it was just a hint to the right direction.
There are some very good guides for it.
What if you sideload the old Gallery app?

install htc album from apk mirror, then disable the google photos app. It should default to htc album then.
It should but it doesn't, and I don't know why... When I disable google photos and install htc gallery nothing hapens when I try to open photos from camera.
Any fix for this yet?
Would love to see a fix too!
I got around all the little issues with Photos by disabling that app.
Then got "QuickPic" from Google Play and made it Gallery app in it's settings.
Aggravation instantly gone. Works fine without giving an argument about everything.

on our rom you can pick any gallery app as preview album in the camera app.
I've tried many apps as I've never really used Google photos before and had no luck with any. But I've started to like it now. Especially since they added opening straight to albums in the settings.
