[Q] How can I have both AOSP and TW camera's? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

The title pretty much says what I'm looking for.
The AOSP camera has the simple time lapse video recording. I know there are other apps that can do this, but the overall better experience I have had with the AOSP version is what I want.

The only way you can have the touch wiz camera is if you use a touch wiz Rom. I'm not entirely sure if the aosp camera will work on touch wiz but I don't see why it wouldn't.

well, Im on a touchwiz rom. Im thinking if I try to either flash or install it in the system apps, its going to replace, or try to replace the touchwiz camera. Other then doing a nandroid and just trying it, any other thoughts?

Replacing it in zip and flashing is the way to do it. My guess is it is going to FC anyway. Could be wrong but will at least probably lose some integration supported by Touchwiz. :laugh:

It won't work.I don't understand why you and this guy: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/35342-port-request-touchwiz-cameracamcorder-for-aosp-roms/ are so hellbent on getting the TW camera. Yes, it takes better pictures but if you are really looking for quality maybe you should be using a DSLR or something anyway.

What he said. And also i don't notice a huge in quality of pictures anyways and i've been on AOSP jellybean the past couple weeks. All my pictures turn out to look really nice, or maybe i'm just crazy. The AOSP camera really is not that bad at all. Its missing a few features, but that's about it.

The TW camera just runs smooth already. Other camera apps lag or FC, or missing features. Its not a quality issue. I dont know why Samsung left the time lapse feature out.
And I do have a DSLR for my good pics. but DSLR is not nearly as accessible and ready
There are plenty of camera apps that are from the market that dont replace the TW camera. How can we make the AOSP one like a regular app like those?

Stock Camera app

Is there any way I can replace the new camera app in 2.1 with the old one? or even better...have both on the phone at the same time.
My reason behind this request is that I take a lot of pictures of documents (text), and the new camera takes like a second to actually take the picture, my hands are shaky sometimes, so the pictures come out blurry.
The old camera app just focused and took the pic, which is what I want.
Are you a spy? LOL
To answer your question, no the old camera app won't work. Since the old app worked with the OLD .27 Kernel, we are on a .29 Kernel.
I guess the above is more hypethetical than fact, since I didn't try it for sure, but considering how picky the camera was with the new kernel I would say your out of luck.
Tripod???
Maybe the aosp camera would work better for what you're doing? You can't manually zoom with it, but it's worth a try, I suppose.

Is there a Camera upgrade app for the Camera on CM7?

I just installed CM 7.1.0 from MikG and the camera leaves much to be desired. There are few features/options, the UI feels like my original Droid and there are no special effects or ability to mute sounds like shutter and what not. Quite frustrating this past weekend when I was at a wedding and wanted to take lots of pictures but it was quite other than them reading their vows and what not and after taking only one picture I put my phone away because it was so loud. I miss the camera from MikG and wish I had the special effects like some of the newer camera versions. Can anyone help me out here? Prefer a Camera app that also has the video in it if possible. Maybe just a newer version of the stock Camera or ??
Thanks!
Here is the Miui camera.

Just install it like any old app.

Trying to avoid flashing another ROM right now because I'm pretty far on a game and last time I tried flashing a ROM the Titanium Backup didn't work & I had to start over again so I'm not looking to chance it again right now.

It won't replace it. Just another option. Its way better than the stock one.

It will add a 2nd app. The miui camera is your best option, and its free. It's really good and works great with every aosp rom I've used.

Trying now....
Alright, installed it and LOVE it compared to the stock one included w/CM7. My only problem is that the effects list is missing the only one I would ever use and that's an HDR setting. Other than that I just need to figure out what all these settings mean. Burst? Shutter? Anti-Shake? Where's the user manual?

Thanks for the link but that thread pretty much only talks about how to focus a photo and how to focus on something that isn't centered. Not much discussion about anything else or any of the other settings.

I usually just tack a .bak on it just in case I need it later instead of deleting it.

Thanks for the information. I think I'm going to use the MIUI camera for the time being so no need to modify any files for the time being.
Well this is what I use on CM7 and this is the "FREE" version but they also have a paid version its better than the others i think. It starts with a grid but you can take it off in settings.
Same issue here as the newer's have the pano effect, etc. and are sweet.
As an alt to the miui one, you should checkout camera 360 also. Used to be a paid app, now free and has a lot of nice features ....

It's free now?!? I used that when it first came out years ago and loved it but the devs did some crazy crap (GREATLY reduced resolution of your photos and a few other things that I personally think is wrong) to the free version to get people to pay for it and so I abandoned it because I don't like those tactics. If it's completely free now then I'm all over that!
paper camera is cool.... its in the market
Is there any way for the MIUI camera to use the volume rocker as the shutter button? That's the only thing from the stock camera that I miss.

Bah! I hadn't yet noticed that. That was a great feature with the stock camera app and I hadn't yet tried the volume rockers. My single biggest gripe with this phone is a lack of physical camera button. PITA when you're trying to take a picture and you can't quite see the screen because of the angle.

Samsung camera replacement

Hello there. I wasent sure if this went here or in the Apps department or in the general . But anyway. I really like the samsung camera app. But I also really like cm10. But im keeping touchwiz just for the camera. So my question is this. What camera would you recommend that has all the same features as the stock one?

I haven't found one that has the instant shutter but overall I like ProCapture the best, which takes good pictures and also has a panoramic mode, touch to focus etc. Camera Zoom FX is also another popular one, but I don't think it has panoramic but it does have burst. Neither are exactly like the TW camera but both are pretty good apps IMO.

[Q] is it possible to get the htc camera app?

I noticed that the stock ROM contains the ability to take HDR images but I haven't found a stock ROM that has that same feature. Does anyone know if such an app exists? Thanks
All of the Sense ROMs have the same function...

So lemme get this clear coz I was wondering about this. If I get a non-sense ROM I can get back the camera nicely installed and potentially any other Sense apps I like?

No. Sense ROMs are Sense ROMs. Like the name says. If you get a non-sense ROM, like AOKP or CM, you don't get any Sense apps.

To clarify the above.. The Sense apps don't work without all the behind-the-scenes stuff Sense roms have, including Rosie.
The Sense-based MIUI is a pretty good compromise, in my opinion. Been using it for a bit.. much more stable than the AOSP MIUI

Does it in anyway reduce the quality of the camera to not use a sense-app or will hdr app provide similar quality?

Forgot to mention that the Sense-based MIUI uses the Sense camera with all functions working.
As for other apps.. I've tried four or five different HDR apps and have had the best results with Pro HDR out of the ones I've tried. The Sense app is a close second.. partly because it allows widescreen HDR pics.
And as for quality..I myself haven't noticed much difference in quality with other apps, since it's basically still using the same hardware... I use Camera360 a lot and am not disappointed. I think the advantage of the Sense app is the high burst rate you can get out of it. And the panorama mode is better than almost every other pano app I've tried.. except one (but only because that one app allows 360 degree panoramic)

[REQ] Flashable Stock Camera for CM13 ROMs

as the title says, i dont want to revert back to stock firmware, but would like to make use of the original camera app, since every other one doesnt really utilize the available hardware to its full potential...

im not quite sure what you mean, but the hwcamera from either honor8 or p9 are not working on a CM ROM. it needs libs to actually be shown as an installed app.
i tried every proper camera app: cameringo+, retrica, fv5, camera-fx, open camera
and even silly ones: 360, candy camera
all of the above either dont run at all, produce sub-par results since they dont address the camera api/kernel properly, and none can capture video properly at min 30fps.
as long as this very decent camera in this phones pricerange isnt properly used in custom ROMS, im not even bothering with any builds. its just a waste of time, when the core selling point for this phone isnt working properly.
id love to keep using resurrectionremix, since i love that ROM, but as mentioned above - waste

This is something you deal with when you CM/aosp based roms. People think they can have their cake and eat it to. This is not the case. CM has had bad camera code for years and they really can't do anything about it without recording their libs and system from the ground up.
