- Thanks for providing that mate.
GMail 4.2.apk
4.2 Clock.zip
THIS IS NOT MY WORK - I found both of these mods on pocketnow.com, I haven't been able to find the original creators of these. If anyone knows who they are please link to them on this thread and I'll edit the OP.

Who is the source of this? If I were to use it, I would like to know who to credit.

I would as well, but I can't find it. I read about it in the article that I've linked on pocketnow. I should just point out maybe that it was in no way through my doing that this is available. I just wanted to spread the news, that's all.

Don't know, I installed it and it's working fine on my HTC One X, still testing though.

just flashed,
on my nexus s slimbeam, seems to work, maybe not so smooth as swipe or touchpal but the dictionary seems better

Good to see it works for others too.

I installed the new camera apk (by moving to system/app etc) on my nexus s running blackbean 6 and it works! But it keeps fc'ing when i open sphere camera mode!
I deleted the old gallery app should i have kept it? Or does it fc for you too?

I haven't been able to try the Camera mod yet, I'm only linking so that others can try them. The keyboard however does work for others, and I'll try it soon.

The keyboard is working... strange to write with it if youre not used to it! ;D
But id rly like to try the sphere mode!

What are the exact permissions i news to change and should I delete the original galley apk if I'm doing this

Agreed. Camera works for Cam and Video but not Pano or Sphere (FC). Does anyone know if we must delete something, or fix permissions?

Camera apk on Nexus S i9023 stock 4.1.2 (deodexed-zipaligned) works well... I've found PhotoSphere fix, but after all, it says me: "Your device is not supported yet: Nexus S"...
No FC but this... I think that in two-three days it will work...
PS.. sorry for my english..
PS 2.. even "normal" panorama work.. no FC..

You have to fix permissions after copying it into system/app! Panorama actually works for me just sphere is fc'ing...

From recovery you can choose fix permissions.

installed the keyboard on my omega30 sgs3.. everything works fine, but its annoying with the keyboard as it doesn't seem to learn new words?

Any way of installing on a stock unrooted i9250?

Question about replacing w 4.2 camera

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.

[Port] Stock Jellybean 4.2 Camera and Gallery apps on Gingerbread /ICS

Install JB 4.2 camera and gallery apps on your Gingerbread/ICS rom. This port of Camera app will only work on the advanced Gingerbread 2.3 firmwares and on all the devices which are rooted on ICS 4.0+ firmwares. Download root checker to check if your mobile is rooted. The flashable zip is attached below.
Instructions-
1. Flash the zip via recovery
2. Fix permissions (Incase the gallery gets force closed).
Bugs-
Photosphere not yet working.

Hit thanks button if I helped!

Confused.
The 4.2 Can/Gallery has always worked on ICS. Its been buggy but its always worked. Currently we have working Photosphere with certain flashable zips.
So my question is, what separated this mod from all the others? Is it a true port? If so ..why is photosphere not working? Current 4.2 cam/gallery I use has working photosphere but has other bugs. So I'm just confused about what this file you posted is?
EDIT:
Checked your zip. Seems your missing the Gmscore.apk that makes the photosphere work. Also missing a lib file that other versions have.

Hi, I just shared the information regarding this port. I did not develop it. I have been using this camera app for 2 days now and it is bug free. Except for the photosphere every other feature is intact i guess. Could you attach your version with the working photosphere here. I want to check it out.

I could upload it however, there are multiple versions posted. Look in Themes and Apps for the 4.2 Transformation Pack...or check out the dev section for the latest v2.3 of it where its been editted to have higher quality pics. Check these zips, you'll find the GmsCore.apk which allows photosphere to work. Talk to the other devs if you're interested in helping.

Yup sure. I will take a look at it. Thanks

This zip file is missing two essential files, "libjni_filtershow_filters.so" which is required to edit photos. And the gsmcore.apk. This work the same as the regular 4.2 camera patch, but doesn't work on my Gingerbread device though.
Just use the patch made by Garner:

Hi i like this to have on my Arc but i'm having FC,i tried fixing promissions using root explorer but the permissions are rw--r--r that's how it has to be???
This message i'm getting:
"Sorry
the application Gallery (process com.google.android.gallery3d)
has stopped unexpectedly.
Please try again."
how to fix that?Tnx
EDIT:
Tried copying files on app and lib folder and changing permissions and then rebooted the device,but didn't work,the same think like above "sorry....bla bla bla..."
I would like at least to get working gallery,i like gallery app it's very fast.
BTW I'm using Xperia Arc stock gingerbread,doomkernel v22,and some modes.

i've been doing alot of searching,flashed alot of versions of this camera all with errors & fc's,so i decided to download nearly all of them,mix & match & find the right files,combine a few things,added some extra files & i ended up with a fully working camera & gallery,flash it in recovery,then whilst still in recovery,choose fix permissions/mismatches,then reboot,you'll still have your old camera & gallery,but if your happy with the camera,the new camera works better if u delete your old camera & gallery app,not sure why but it does,i also changed my product version to Galaxy Nexus and product brand to google,appologies to the OP,not trying to offend u or do 1 better,just p'd off with how many attempts i've done to get this working so would like to share for others to try

Android 4.4.1 PhotoSphere Camera 13MP+10MP Wide

I thought I would share my findings of this flashable zip for the 4.4.1 PhotoSphere camera. I'm currently using it on CM11 official nightly without issue. Although you cannot go past 8mp in the options. I'm hoping someone out there might be able to take this and get 13mp working? My friend flashed this same zip on his SGS4 and has 13mp option.
Update: Thanks to ChikeD we now have working 13mp Photosphere camera!
Update 2: 10MP Wide option added.
Flash the Android 4.4.1 Camera Zip then the camera patch by ChikeD
Android 4.4.1 Camera Zip
13MP+10MP Wide+TinyPlanet Camera Patch
Mirror:Camera Patch

Thanks for the share.I can only see 8 mp, same as you.
But i can't also see HDR option? Did I missed something?

@bb12489
What is the image dimention(X/Y pixels) of 13MP of your camera?
And if you don't mind sharing where you have found it at?

I'll have to look back in my history now. I found it in a random thread here on XDA. Someone else linked to it like I did. I'll see if I can dig it up. My 13mp resolution is 4160x3120

Camera support 4128x3096 13MP, yours a bit higher, not too complicated to MOD, however apktool threw some warnings so I don't know if it's going to work or not..
It's a matter of curtest to mention who you get it from and who is the OP to share/MOD.

Here is where I was linked to

The original poster of this link was not the creator. He was just responding to a question about photosphere camera's in another thread and said he used the one from that link. I definitely give full credit to the creator of these zips though! I was just thinking that since it's an unmodified Google Camera apk that anyone could have at it to try and mod.

If you feel frisky you may try and flash this mod, I haven't tested it, so you take your chances or not.
You know the drill, I'm not resposnsible bricked devices , data loss etc.
EDIT: reuploaded with renamed apk. Sorry about that.
Note this zip is only a patch for the original zip, photosphere will crash if installed by itself.
Flash origininal and then this patch(no need to reboot between).

Nah, just added 2 lines resources + one fix for build. You can add the link to it too.
I don't think the sphare is effected just the camera.
I only use it for the sphares which is awesome, and Sony's camera for photos, isn't he G2 cam better for photos?
I'm adding more options, to have 2MP 16:9 and 6MP 16:9 for Xperia P, and include the libs inside so it can be installed as normal app.
I have the scene option mixed up(I have 3 option only), that was the case with Google Camera for 4.3 too, is it the same on the G2?
Also, Camera version is 2.0.001 (893803-30) and Gallery version is. 1.1.40304, is that different for the original 4.4 cam?

I might have made a terrible mistake. Tpp many cam mods LOL.
What version of app you you see?
App name should also be GoogleCamera.apk, rename it in zip
---------- Post added at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------
For all those who have tried the patch, I messed up, sorry.
I may have ovveride the wronk app (Camera.apk) and should have been GoogleCamera.apk.
Delete Camera.apk and restore the original (if there was one) and flash the new file instead.
Again, sorry if I caused trouble.

I had a crash clicking TinyPlanet on camera.
Added libjni_tinyplanet.so from http://storagecow.eu/Xda/Nexus 5/System Dump/lib/ and it works.
Added to the patch, reuploaded and updated links.

So just checking in.. Dis you guys get fully working 4.4.1 GoogleCamera.apk with working 13MP support for our G2s?
if so, what do I download?

OP updated with ChikeD's camera patch!

[Q] Stock camera app for CM11

Hey guys,
I was wondering how to install stock camera ( or any other xperia camera app) on Xperia L with CM11 nightly.
I have tried pushing apk to system<app and setting up permissions then following a reboot. I have also tried installing a zip file through cwm.
But when I open the camera app it force closes.....
Please help me, I'm missing the superior auto feature.

quick and simple answer....you simply cant.

That feature is still missing in custom kitkat roms...
For now you just got to deal with that blurry camera that is implamented in that rom.
