Does anyone know where I can get the 4.2 camera and gallery mod for the Galaxy S3?
I'm pretty sure its in the 4.2 gapps flashable zip that was posted in the news portal. If not Google it and go to the android central post that comes up. The OP on that thread is the guy who figure
D it all out and got it working.
Edit:
I just looked through the 4.2 Gapps and I could've sworn they said something about the camera being in it, which made no sense but who knows, but didn't see it. So here is the link for it over on android central, this is where it started and seems to be the most up to date.
just know you have to touch to focus before you can take a picture or the camera will force close and the camera will go offline until you reboot your phone

when I flash those gapps on CM10 and then try to take a picture, the camera app freezes and the picture is not available in the gallery. They worked fine on my nexus on CM10.
Did you tap the screen to focus before taking the picture? You can't let it just auto focus on this phone, it doesn't work 100% right just yrt

Does that link have the libs that are needed for 100% functionality on our phone?
Yes. All the libs are there but there is still not 100% functionality on this camera yet. If there was then there would be no need to touch the screen to make the camera focus instead of letting it auto focus. I'm hoping those bugs will be worked out now that 4.2 source has been released.

Just a quick question, not sure if this is the correct place to post this. I noticed that all the ROM's with the exception of 1 all have the TW Camera app as the default camera program. I then saw that the new Eclipse ROM came out and it has the AOSP camera.
Is there a way to extract the AOSP camera app and install that into a different ROM? Not sure how the whole framework thing works. etc... thanks!
First, why would anyone want to use the AOSP Camera app? Not saying it doesn't get the job done, but compared to the stock TW Camera app, it's not very nice looking, and the last time I used it, it wasn't nearly as functional. That aside, you should just be able to replace the APK as I don't think there should be anything that will affect functionality missing, but I can't say that for certain as you may run into issues.
Isn't there a camera firmware apk? Or is this in all phones and it's just what the actual camera app uses to communicate with hardware?

Thanks Innuts. I was just curious. Maybe its just me but when I take pics in portrait mode the buttons don't rotate to portrait mode like AOSP. Also I noticed sometimes if you take a picture in portrait it doesn't rotate the image, so it looks sideways. I noticed this when taking a picture then sharing it to social website. I was just going to test both out for fun

Wouldn't an AOSP camera allow for enhanced or modded Camera apks? I know we already have some slightly modded camera apks. One thing I think would be cool is some sort of adjustment to take shots at different exposure levels automatically.
Another thing that would just be insanely cool is the ability to pull out the RAW data. Is this possible with AOSP camera, or would a camera firmware rewrite be necessary? I would be completely blown away with RAW.
I personally like the tw camera, so I pulled the camera apk and camera firmware apk from tweakstock and put them into eclipse. while I was at it I also pulled the clockpackage apk, calculator apk and the calender apk from mnml and put in eclipse a well. As you can see I like the tw apps, but I love the speed of eclipse.Don't know what the difference is but the phone opens instantly on eclipse which is something I haven't been able to get any other ROM to do. So I think I will stay with eclipse with the tw apps for now until something better comes along. Sorry to hijack the thread, just wanted to put in my two cents.

Anyone have any success with this camera? Just wondering. I installed the zip and followed the instructions in the OP for this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966606
Panorama crashed the camera app and Sphere didn't seem to ever end, it kept having me take photos of the same place. I am using sverhagen's cm 9.1 r8 stable.

The 4.2 Camera mostly works for me, as the Photo Sphere is only 1% working. Get it to take the 1st pic, but the tracking after is not working. 1st pic just very very slowly moves and I give up after 5 mins of staring at the screen
Running the last CM 9 alpha released. Installed the main 4.2 from AP (it wouldn't load the sphere at all) and then the patch AP released (all links are down now due to Google as expected). Even changed my build.prop as suggested here and no change to the behavior.
I just saw This thread so the question I think will be does MT4GS have a Gyro?
And just found the answer to my own question ...NOPE
Anyone flash these 4.2 mods (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991734) on one of our 4.1 ROM's like Synergy? Mod includes:
- New clock
- New Gmail
- New Music app
- New Launcher
- New 4.2 keyboard
- New 4.2 Camera
- 4.2 Sounds
- 4.2 Bootanimation
- 4.2 Fonts
Doing a nandroid backup right now, will be testing on the latest CM10 nightly to see how it works.
*update* Flashed and tested, everything seems to work well, except for the camera. You take one photo and it locks up, and then the device can't access the camera until reboot. It did the same under AOKP M1 on my GS3. I'm restoring from nandroid now.
That sucks.... Well we won't see a new 4.2 ROM until late December because of how different the system is for 4.2.

To take pics with the camera you have to touch the screen to focus first. There is a bug with it noe that it can't auto focus.

I tried everything, the camera won't work correctly yet. Just wait, plus the stock camera has better features and takes better pictures too so i'm not complaining.

Just put this mod on my gs3 no issues at all with any of the downloads. One question what is the difference between the old music app and the new updates on this one.
Does anyone know when we are going to get the new lock screen were we can put a widget with the lock screen

Did you touch the screen before taking a picture to make the camera focus? Like I said above you cannot leave it on auto focus or it will force close and you will have to reboot the camera to get it working again.
I assume the camera y'all are using is the same as the one here:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...-roms-hacks/220830-jelly-bean-4-2-camera.html
If you can't get the one working that you're using now by touching the screen to make it focus then try this one. There is a flashable zip. I don't know if its in the OP yet or still on one of the last few pages but I know for a fact that the flashable zip places all the libs in the right place and the camera and photosphere works perfectly. You still have to touch the screen to make the camera focus on this one too because if you don't it'll force close too and you have to reboot to make the cam work again. Just make sure you touch the screen before snapping the pic!!!!!

I saw it in different forums for other devices but not here on One S. Looking after it, I've found a version that is working on our devices and I've thought to put it here as well for others to enjoy.
Gallery version is 1.1.40012
Just to be sure... I don't take any credit for it, I just found it, tested if it's working and put the download link.
To install:
1. Download from below link and save it on your sdcard
2. Install using a file manager, I wasn't asked for root permisions and it was NOT installed in system/app (original camera/gallery app are preserved). A new Gallery and Camera apps will be shown
3. Enjoy
DOWNLOAD
What works and I've tested:
- take pictures on all res
- photo-sphere works
- panorama works (I've got though some garbled photos at the end)
- front camera works
- video recording works (both 720 and 1080)
- all settings work
Bugs: (I found only two by now)
- garbled photo for panorama's
- the small lower right circle/icon for popping up the settings is somehow cropped (part of it is shown little bit up) but this is related to the incorrect resizing of the app I believe.
Tested on MIUI V5 3.7.19 but I'm pretty sure it'll work on other ROMs as well
Working fine for me on rom stock, thank's
I had problems installing this app on paranoid.
The answer is easy :
If you have problems installing this you have to uninstall existing Galleryapp using Titanium Backup app first then install the APK.
Just in case someone wonders how's the quality of this camera, I've made some few tests and posted my findings HERE. (I was asked to compare this camera with MIUI's camera)
does the "burst" mode work?. Will it work on non-sense rom? Thanks.

It has very few options (maybe because it's not fully released???). I couldn't find a "burst mode". It doesn't have HDR as well.
It should work on non-sense ROMs since it's AOSP. I've tested on MIUI which is sense based but Daihogo said he tested it on Paranoid and that is a non-sense ROM.
Tested on CM10 HTC One S(s4), and no burst mode. Everything else works. Kind of "strange" set up, but could get used to it. The "no burst" is a deal breaker. Sadly, going back to sense rom. I hope that someone will "make" version with burst mode.
Been Using this for a while now and love it. the volume rocker works for taking snaps
Works great!
Too bad it doesn't place the pictures in the same map as the stock camera

The stock (sense) camera and AOSP camera always place the photos in different folders under DCIM. One places them in "camera" the other in "100media"
I saw someone else did an MD5 and this is the same camera from the SGS4 release a month or so ago. Still, it's an improvement if only for the fact that the stupid shutter button doesn't move when rotated anymore. I gladly will give up all the CM customizations for that alone.

Here it is! The first part of the Nemesis project, Focal, is already here!
This is just a build I made downloading the source from github.
I will try to update it as new versions progressively come. :laugh:
This isn't my work, say thanks to the CyanogenMod Team instead!!
Sorry for the Google Drive download link, but I apparently can't upload this file as attachment...
UPDATE: It seems to better work on Nexus devices and on AOSP based ROMs. Stock ROMs like Sense, TouchWiz etc. will probably experience problems with this camera.

thanks for compiling!
i have currently a nexus 4 running stock 4.3 unrooted with stock kernel.
this is the first time i tried focal, and here are my impressions:
the preview lags. constantly. no matter what conditions, dark or sunny.
i dont like the interface, even though it has nice ideas, its just too much. im not a big photographer, so for me these features are not that important to me, i much more prefer simplicity, and this is just overwhelming.
i dont really get how the view of the previously taken photos should work, how i can navigate through them and how it can be deleted.
they took a lot of good ideas from the official camera app, but implemented it in the wrong way.
as for picsphere: i dont like that there is no preview, i only see the frame when i already took it. and that i have to manually press the shutter button to take the frame, and its not automatic. they should at least give an option for that.
picsphere rendering is very slow, much faster on stock.
plus it saves all frames of a picsphere as separate photos too, whats that all about?
and wheres hdr mode?
and why is it locked in landscape mode?
so to sum up: i like the idea of having cyanogenmod-developed apps instead of stock, but it still has a loooong way to go to become a considerable option to replace the stock camera app.

Most features work on my sensation.
You can change which of the editing settings you want to appear using the slide-up settings.
Picsphere has previews for me. But I agree the rendering needs work.
HDR works
You can swipe from the left/top to get to gallery and see/edit/delete pictures.
It's not locked in landscape for me either.
I used the zip from the other thread though
