Android 4.2 AOSP Camera with pausing video - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I just came from 4.1 Touchwiz based roms and I really loved how I was able to pause while I'm shooting a video. But I just switched to 4.2 AOSP because I love AOSP, but the camera just doesnt have that feature. Im just wondering is there any modded camera apk that has this function? And why does Touchwiz have it but AOSP doesnt.. :/

It's a tw feature. It's all in the TW framework. I doubt someone could just add it to aosp. I mean, unless Cyanogen does it.

I hate to say it but Samsung finally got their **** together.

AOSP has always lacked camera features when compared to a manufacturer's own software. It's sort of an Achilles Heel for aosp which Google has been trying to rectify with additions like panoramic mode and now photosphere. Unfortunately photosphere is limited to nexus devices for now in CM10.1.

Not entirely true. It was backported to the Rezound.

I've had the 4.2 camera with working photosphere on 4 different sgs3 ROMs so far. Have the flashable zip always on my SD card ready for another.

You can get photosphere working on TW ROMs but you have to do a dance with the focusing if you want to take a normal picture without it force closing. I don't really consider that workable.
Secondly, I made that comment specifically in regards to CM's official statement that photosphere compatibility is restricted to Nexus devices in their nightly builds. I should have clarified.

Possible to port the jelly bean leak to our devices?

Hey just wondering if any one has given any thought to this, I know the leak is for the European, GSM variant but would it be possible to mix and match to make a Rom.i imagine not without the kernel but I figured did ask.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Read somewhere on here that the CM team is already working on CM10 for this device now that we have an unlockable boot loader.

Yes that is awesome, but I actually don't mind the Samsung overlay (highly modified and running nova of course), and there camera has really grown on me. I take allot of pics and while I like pro capture, LG camera and camera zoom fx, they never really seem to work like stock for me.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
i was also wondering if we would get a port of the jellybean + touchwiz leaked update.
for some reason i like touchwiz a lot more then stock now.
Even AOSP Jellybean without Samsung enhancements would be interesting to try.
I'm not much into CyanogenMod (no offense to its many fans).

Touchwiz camera features on Aosp??

Is there any way to get TW camera or its features in the AOSP camera for JB?
Or to get TW camera apk to work on AOSP?
Just wondering..

Check out incubus's tmobile leak port. I have found this to be a better experience than aosp jb right now. No incoming calls wait or wierd issues. To answer your question he included the note 2 camera and you could flash it to try, works better than sg3 camera on jb

I don't think the devs want to risk hard bricking their own phones. I know the devs with the International version will make ROMs based on that leak.
Yea too much differences between the two variants as they are completely different phones internally.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
We're around 2-3 months behind the international version, correct? 4.2.1 has leaked but we're not even on 4.1.2 yet . I care but it's not a huge deal to me but some sort of timeline would be nice.
Hero just posted that he is porting it. :thumbup:

I could wait. There's plenty of 4.2 around. All I really want is the multiwindow anyway

You guys that are getting excited about 4.2.1 must have never used it before. This version will become known as the Windows Vista of Android.
The biggest bug I have is https://code.google.com/p/android/i...c=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars&id=39633 . It was somewhat fixed in 4.2.2, but not completely. There are several other issues introduced in 4.2. There are lots of people that believe that nothing since 4.1.2 has been better than that version. Each Android since then has had bugs that ruin the experience and should have been caught by the beta testing team.
International always gets the love first

You're talking strictly TW right? Because the only issues with 4.2 AOSP are the signal and bluetooth, which I believe was fixed with 4.2.2. The signal has been worked on and is actually pretty decent depending on which ROM you flash. What other "experience ruining" bugs have you dealt with?

4.2 on my nexus devices runs without a hitch. l haven't even had issues with Bluetooth. 4.2 on my S3 on the other hand has been a bit buggier. Data drops, crappy Bluetooth audio and crappy/inoperable camera have plagued every rom I've tried.

The Unofficial CM10.1 rom by Mastamoon has been running great on my Verizon S3. They are nightlies, but certainly don't act like it!

Hopefully this fixes data issues. Where I normally have 3 bars of 4g I had 1 or none on every 4.2 rom. Even the new builds do the same thing. Maybe my phone donesnt like them? Ha

It shows the signal differently. The actual dBm should be the same. At least that's what I'm to understand.

Got a feeling TW 4.2.1 will be a little different than AOSP. At least that's what I would think.

I hope Samsung is working on a theme/skin engine for TW. They've come a long way with the level of customization in TW, but it's just so [email protected] ugly. Can't wait to see what else Sammy has integrated with 4.2.

I doubt it, I think it will attain the touchwiz looks just as they did from ICS to JB...
still green battery, toggles.. etc

Any way to get Samsung Camera App on CM or any AOSP ROM?

Just as the title suggests. Is this possible? I know the camera probably depends on touchwiz libs etc. but I really want CM but I love the camera on touchwiz. Is it possible to have an AOSP ROM or CM ROM with the stock camera? Thanks in advance!!

I believe it can be achieved, because some gapps have their own custom version of the cameras.
If you have the Camera.apk, try to overwrite the current apk after making a backup first, of course.
I asked this same question a long time ago and was told the framework involved would be to extensive. It does work the other way around though. 4.2 camera on touch wiz. I wish it could be done. Probably one of the biggest reasons I still use TW and not aosp

Thanks for reply guys. This is def the ONLY thing holding me back from switching to CM or any AOSP/AOKP ROM. I use my camera A LOT and the features on the TW camera are awesome, I can't give them up.
Yeah I think the camera is one of the main reasons a lot of us don't switch. It is for me. I haven't even tried aosp yet. I just know I'd miss the TW camera.

Thoughts on Google Edition Camera?

With the never ending camera "stuff" on AOSP, what is everyone's general thoughts on the recently leaked Google Edition Camera? I personally have used TW mainly for better reception, bluetooth, and camera, but I flashed LiquidSmooth the other day for fun, and I honestly thought reception was just as good as my CR7. Much improved since the last time I tried AOSP, which was last December. The main issue would be the loss of the TW camera. Anyone have experience with the new Google camera? Just looking for rational responses that may help others as well, not a TW vs. AOSP debate.
I run both on stock 4.1.2. I like the tw camera because it has more options such as HDR. But I also like to make photospheres. You could find the download and see if its worth the switch.

Google Edition camera is quite annoying and crippled in options compared to CM nightly
Thanks for the replies. I've grown to really like the TW camera, and the fact that I know everything in it will work how intended. I guess, like always, you have to try it to see. I may look into the CM camera, as well as maybe just running the TW cam with the GE 4.3 cam.
Yeah the developers have the AOSP camera so far beyond the Google edition camera that it's not worth discussing really.

Im running PA and I use the AOSP modded camera. It has working HDR and other features but the FFC is a bit wonky. I was really missing the TW camera but now not so much. I dont use my FFC to take pics much and it works fine with video like skype. I found a work around to taking pics with it, just start recording a video with the FFC and then take shots while recording. Then just delete the vid. Pics are good to go.

I like the TW camera way better than the AOSP version because more color effects, anti-shake feature, and all of those best face features but I give a thumbs up to the nice layout and the speed the aosp camera has to offer

I'm hoping Google will release a camera apk with HDR and Photosphere soon..
Can't wait .. I miss TW camera options. It'd be nice to have the option to store pictures in external sd.
I would love to see someone port over TW camera to work with non TW roms.
I hate the Google Edition camera. I don't like the controls and miss the burst mode from the stock camera

Which ROM are you using that doesn't allow moving to SD card? The first beta 4.3 build I tried didn't have move to SD card option but that was fixed almost immediately.

I'm on LiquidSmooth 3.0 unofficial with BMS.
Pushing the menu button doesn't do anything while I'm on google camera mode. It freezes up if I don't manual focus before I snap a pic. So there's a newer apk download available? I have Gallery 1.1.40012 insatalled with photosphere btw.
