So I have installed the new 4.2 camera and gallery but am now stuck with the problem of having 2 camera and gallery apps.
I tried to delete gallery2.apk but began to have problems with the 4.2 camera when taking shots. (It would freeze then hot boot)
Is there a way to safely remove the aosp camera that I am trying to replace?
I have a vzws3 running paranoid android.

Actually the 4.2 camera can be used on both touch wiz and aosp. And at the op you can just pull the camera and gallery app from your Rom zip file and put those apps back in your system then set permissions and reboot.
As for removing it just rename it to gallery 2.bak and then reboot.

Thanks,,,is it already tested on 4.1.2 and working?
It runs fine on the 11/04/2012 CM10 and Paranoid Android 2.5.3.
Gallery Will Not Open
I flashed the files . The camera works fine, but the gallery doesn't open. When I hit the gallery icon it says "Unfortunately Gallery has stopped." I've tried reinstalling and several other avenues and end up with the same results. Is anyone else having this issue? I am running Scott's CM10 Rom.
Working fine on liquid smooth.
This doesn't affect the gallery man. Your gallery doesn't work because you flashed the 4.2 gallery. Idk why it doesn't work.it should. Didn't you back up your old gallery?in system/app

Try to clear data+cache for Gallery in Settings -> Apps -> ALL -> Gallery.
It's possible that Gallery is using old data from previous version.

My understanding since cm10/jb camera and gallery is in one apk file, maybe if you have Rootexplorer go to System/Apps/GalleryGoogle.apk then Fix Permission select Read and Write save then reboot your phone see if that works.

If it's working correctly, you'll see a blue dot. You aim the reticle so the blue dot is in the middle. It will do a countdown then take the fist shot. After that, when you move the phone up, down, left, or right, you'll see other possible blue dots. Same procedure. You can do a 360 view or just a partial. Click the shot button to finish.
It will take 30 seconds or so to compile. You'll see a message in the notification bar.
Pretty cool that it works this well on this old phone.
Picture will be in the gallery.
I have a separate, working zip if the packaged photosphere doesn't work. I can post a link.
Good luck

download CM10... unzip it, find Gallery2.apk (I believe in system/apps) replace your current Gallery2.apk with the CM10 one. reboot, Viola, restored to CM10 camera.

Thanks. Accidentally killed my camera trying AOSP camera and got it back using your instructions.
so, i found a flashable zip of 4.2 camara and when i flashed it replaced the stock 4.1 camera with 4.2 camera..
but now, i want 4.2 camera without replacing 4.1 camera .. i want both the camera ..
how shall i do that ??
plz help me .. I am new here and this is my first post.
I'm not sure you can do that. If ever you do manage to retain both apk in your system app, you're going to have force closes all over the place. I suggest you just make up your mind on which camera to use.

i manged to have both apk files in system/app folder without renaming any of the apk.
however, if both apk is there then my android simply ignores 4.1 camera and only 4.2 camera shows up in app menu.
i have seen people having both the camera app working in some youtube videos and thats what i want !
i found some bug in 4.2 camera , i am not able to touch focus and pinch to zoom in 4.2 camera .. thats why i want another alternative
and its good to have photosphere for some occasion.
greenblue's rom has both camera apps if you flash that camera mod. I removed the original one manually so that I only have the one that works with sphere.
why do you want both? What's the original one have that the modded one doesn't?
You CAN have both cameras, but only if your older Gallery in system/app is by default named "Gallery2". Than you flash 4.2 camera and you will have both cameras working. Make sure your ROM and/or gapps you are flashing has "gallery2" in system/app.

Zoom is impossible. You can zoom only with some 3rd party apps. And touch to focus libs are not yet made/optimised for our device, so, we have to wait.

Flash CM10 stable, which has gallery2.apk. Then flash the 4.2 camera zip from this thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35018025&postcount=571 -- and you'll have two cameras.
Whether they both work is a different question, however ....
Okay so I've searched all over Google and asked around threads but could not get an answer. So I'm hoping someone can come in here and help me this. I recently switched from the ATT MIUI ROM to the new 4.2.2 ROM and the one thing I noticed about the camera was that it wasn't as good as the MIUI camera. Specifically the video recorder. CM records in DVD and the MIUI recorded in HD+. I been trying to install or replace the CM camera with the MIUIv4 camera but I can't get it to work. Even when I was able to replace the CM camera with Miui camera by renaming it to MotCamera and rebooting. It would just end up recording in DVD again. How can I get the MIUI camera to work on my phone or have the video record in HD+ and not in DVD? its driving me insane.

Yes. I'll change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot and nothing happens. If I try deleting the stock camera rebooting, the camera is missing. If I try renaming it to the stock cameras name and replacing it, same thing happens.
I guess since the miui is ics based and hence it cannot work properly on 4.1/4.2.
You should try some other camera apps like lgcamera. It works flawlessly on CM10.1.

Mind posting the apk.I'll give it a try and let you know.
Btw there are two camera/gallery apps in the 4.2.2ROM (gallery2.apk and galaxy4.apk).Did you try moving both of them and then placing this apk in system/app with proper permissions.

I uninstalled the MotCamera that came with the ROM, got rid of the two gallery apk's and moved the BlurCamera(MIUI camera) apk into system/app and renamed the permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooted and the camera wasn't there. No camera app at all.
That person could be correct when he said that the camera I am trying to place in my 4.2.2 ROM is ICS based and that is the reason why I'm not able to get it on the ROM. Here's the APK though. This is the APK that is in the ROM from this thread - LINK

No after adding the file to system/app long press it and choose permission. Make the permissions match all the other apps in that folder. Rw-r-r

This might be a really stupid question, but how do we know if it worked? My app info reads 1.1.40001
Problem might be because I have also installed the moto x camera too...I have multiple "gallery" apps.
Sorry for the stupid question, I promise I was/am capable to copy the file to system/app and fix permissions if that counts for anything D:
