[Q] 4.3 camera/gallery working for anyone?

Is the new camera working for anyone here?
I got the 4.3 camera/gallery apk from a few different sources and none of them complete the install process, they end with App not installed.
I'm using a 4.2.2 PA ROM and I'm allowing unknown sources. People with others phones have been saying it works. Someone I talked to said we may need a modified version of it for our build prop.
This was also happening with the Sunbeam live wallpaper from 4.3

I got the camera to work. I used ROM Toolbox Pro to delete the stock camera and gallery apps, copied the downloaded apk to /system/app and then set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooted. At least I think that should work, I did a bunch of different things (wrongly), but I just reflashed CM so I need to do it again. The menus in the app don't quite work right on some things from what I tried, specifically under the 'Scenes' option.

Thanks, that worked. I guess I didn't think of that because people were saying it just installed.
As for the scenes I think the icons are right but the words are wrong.

As far as the wallpaper goes, push it to /system/app using a root explorer, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Worked fine for me that way.

I've never seen a better camera than the stock touchwiz one so I stopped trying camera apps for a long time.... That's if you are on a touchwiz rom.

Wow what great insight you have I'm so glad you were here to not answer the op's question or further the actual discussion.

I found some direction on xda that went like this.
1. Rename old gallery2.apk to gallery2.apk.old.
2. Rename new camera apk to gallery2.apk and copy it to /system/app
3. Reboot
4. Install renamed new camera apk from original folder.
I tried flashing zip and pushing it to system/app but when I tried to edit a picture the gallery would crash. This way above didn't crash and everything worked with a few following exception. One thing I notice with the 4.3 camera is that when you use the video camera its zoomed in and pixelated. Another issue is when your in panorama mode and turn your phone to landscape or vise versa to portrait it crashes.

Apart from the scenes being labeled wrong I also found out today that going to photosphere mode crashes the app.
I'll try another method of installing.
It's pretty weird that someone I know installed it on an AT&T ROM with no trouble :/

Any Google Camera 4.4.2 Omnirom fix for Video recording (i9100)?

Hi, i was checking about a fix for video recording fix with the google camera for the Omni Rom, but unfortunatly, no flash works, if u have a solution pls replay me, im with a phone what cant record a video .

Have you tried camera 360. When I had the motorola defy and installed new rom, the rom bug me the phone's camera and this app solved my life.

Well i ve been trying all the app even the 360 camera and nothing works, on cyanfox evrything is ok, i mean the camera works perfectly but without camera sphere, or smart capture, till nowi dont have anu solution only changing the rom waiting for a fix for omnirom camera

In regards to camera problem
Ok, so i'm in exactly the same situation you are in as the recording feature of the stock camera app or any app failed to work for me (froze and crashed app). So far I have found two fixes, the first one thanks to a user called "RambJoe", so thank him if it works (it didn't work for me )
Fix 1-
1. Install/Open a file explorer on your device (I used ESFileExplorer)
2.Enable "Root Explorer" (Under Menu>Tools>Scroll to bottom on ES)
3.Navigate to system/etc/init.d/80cfw (This file seems to be missing on my phone, and I have found other people who have not got it as well. I believe it is because this guide isn't compatible with the International version of the SII i9100, so if you do not have it, skip to Fix 2)
4.Change the permission of the 80cfw file to rwx r-x r-x (Select the file, tap on "More" and scroll down to "Properties" and change the permissions from there)
5. Save and reboot, that should do the trick!
The next fix requires you to have Titanium Backup (FREE) to be installed or another such app that can delete/modify system apps. You can thank me for this one
Fix 2-
1. Download this apk *DO NOT INSTALL YET* - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340858 (Thanks nexūs0 for upload)
2. Open up Titanium and back up, then delete your stock Gallery app
3.Find and install the apk you downloaded in step one
4.Open up the Gallery app and you should find the camer ON THE GALLERY APP ONLY working correctly (it did for me, anyway). The other camera apps still do not work
Don't forget to tell me if this helped you and feel free to PM me if you need assistance!

[Q] [Solved] New Google Camera can't update

I saw that there's a new camera update available, and I tried to install it from the play store, but it gives me an error saying there's something wrong with the signature and refuses to install. I found an apk elsewhere and tried to install from that, but again, it would be give the an error message saying "an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed".
I went to settings->apps->camera and cleared data, force stop, disable, etc, but nothing worked. I was using Jishnu's camera mod, but about a month ago, my camera app stopped working. I did flash it back to stock 4.4.2 found in Jishnu's thread, but still no luck. I even tried to uninstall camera using Titanium, but it couldn't find the apk.
Any ideas?
EDIT
Solved!
See post #6
Thanks!

Delete the old camera app using a file explorer. It'll be in /system/app/, /data/app/ or maybe even /system/priv-app/

I'm using ES File Explorer with root enabled, but it won't let me delete the GoogleCamera.apk. It says "Read-only file system". Permissions for the file is rw- r-- r--, and won't allow me to change anything about the file at all.
EDIT
Figured out how to delete the apk, but it still wont let me install the new camera...

I downloaded the camera apk from that thread, but still no luck. With the originall GoogleCamera.apk deleted, now I just get a non-specific error saying "Application was not installed"

How I fixed it:
Delete GoogleCamera.apk in /system/apps
Flash the 4.4.2 camera restore found in Jishnu's thread
Camera should work now
Update camera
???
Profit!

Link please
I'm having this exact same problem. I'm running Omnirom, so I thought it was related to that.
Could you please link to the thread you are referring to?

Please share! Also using ES File Explorer with root.

In ES, expand tools, turn on root explorer, and click on root explorer. Change r/w settings so you can delete files

Thanks for the help. Still couldn't get it to work. Still getting the error message about the signature. Any other ideas? I'm all out...

Still won't attach to the market for me.

Yeah, really weird!
I couldn't get it to work with any combination of methods. Update from store, update with apk, uninstall and reinstall from store or with apk, nothing!
And today, as i was going to demonstrate to a friend how the update fails, all of a sudden the installation went through! I had downloaded the apk from AndroidPolice and merely went to install it (which had failed about ten times before!) and it worked!
I have no idea what changed, but I'm happy now. Loving the new UI. Simpler, and the new features rock. Just waiting for all the old ones to be brought back.
Battery drain sucks, tho...

how did you fixed it plz tell me

[APP][Updated 2015-11-12] HTC One A9 Camera/Gallery/Editor for Marshmallow GPE

I pulled the Camera (Camera2), Gallery (HMS_Gallery_GP) and Photo Editor (HMS_PhotoEnhancer_GP) apps from LlabTooFeR's A9 dump (link). I wanted to see if they'd work on my GPE-converted HTC One M8 running Android Marshmallow 6.0 (MRA58K).
Update: I've uploaded a new version that I hope works without needing to flash the APK afterwards. Additionally, at least for me, the Photo Editor is now working, including some of the Duo effects that haven't worked on my GPE for a long time. UFocus and Foregrounder don't appear to be working correctly, but at least they don't FC.
Flashable zip. I use TWRP2. Root is required.
Please note: It's been pointed out to me that the standard GPE image leaves very little space in the system partition. Not enough for the HTC apps, which are sort of large. If you're seeing that the zip isn't flashing correctly, please clear some space on your system partition (removing unwanted System G/Apps), before flashing.
Thanks to Arkaydez for some debugging.
Thanks to danial.aw for pointing out issues with GPE system partition size.
Post back with your experience. I'd like to know if it's working for everyone.
Download (Version 2)

Just flashed, Camera app showed up but force closes. Neither the Gallery or Editor app are installed.

Thanks for giving it a try and feeding back. Feeling like helping me debug it?
Here's my experience when I flash it:
- When the phone restarts, there is a permission request waiting for the Gallery app.
- When you start the camera app, it requests three permissions.
- The applications and their associated libraries are installed to:
/system/priv-app/Camera2/
/system/priv-app/HMS_Gallery_GP/
/system/priv-app/HMS_PhotoEnhancer_GP/
Does your experience reflect that?
Thanks!

2 days ago I just downloaded this A9 camera from Google Play. It installed normally, for first run it asked for permission and work great. But every next open cause FC. Anyway, I think that original camera app from M8 is better, it is also to download from GP and doesn't FC.

I flashed the zip and Apps isnt shown in the menu. So I opened the zip and installed the apk's manually. Camera and Photo Editor gave FC. Gallery is opened but didnt show any pic.
Didnt work for me.
My rom is GPE Android 6.0 - Build MRA58K.H6

You can't install the apks manually, unfortunately. They need to go into priv-app, since they require system permissions. That's what's causing the FCs. If you've installed them, and they're sitting in /system/app, you can move them (root explorer, etc.) to /system/priv-app. Then at least the camera and gallery should work.

Interesting. Unfortunately, for me, when I go to Google Play, it tells me that both versions of the HTC camera (Camera and Camera2) are incompatible with my phone and won't let me install. I assumed that's because it was a GPE. If you download and install from APK Mirror, or install it from the market somehow, I think that it puts the APKs and libraries into /system/app, which will cause it to FC. The camera assumes it's pre-installed into /system/priv-app, and is therefore entitled to system permissions. When it's installed to /system/app, it makes system storage calls, which aren't allowed, and FCs.
That's why I thought the flashable zip would be the way to go.

I was able to avoid all the FC's by 1st flashing your zip and then installing the a9 cam apk from apk mirror. b

Thanks for that. I had previously installed the APK from APK mirror, so maybe there's some secret sauce missing from the zip. Does the Photo Editor work for you now, or does it still FC?

How about slow motion video? Is it working?

hi...what i did was to push the latest camera downloaded from htc apk site, if i m not mistaken link was provided above, into /system/priv-app, and chmod folder to 755 n file to 644 n reboot. after rebootin, i open the camera but it FC. i reinstalled the same apk, n it works ok

I just installed the apk and it works for me

i installed the zip file .and then the file from apkmirror .The camera isn't FC-ing. but it doesn't save any picture when i take one. can it be due to converting my SD into internal ?
also, when i click "reset to default". it starts FC-ing

I'm not sure. Have you tried the new (v2) zip? Did it prompt you for permissions for storage? The camera should have prompted you for 4 permissions, and the gallery for 1.

No. Although I don't know why. I'll look into it.

working great but i guess camera from m8 is much better...maybe cause its designed for our ultrapixel camera....

How different is it from the Sense 7 version?

Snapdragon Camera

Hey,
I just installed cm13.1 by Team Superluminal on my mi4c. Somehow I can't find snapdragon Camera on my device. Can someone please post a flashable zi for the app. Regards

It's already the default camera app. No need to flash anything. To enable some more advanced feature though, tap 7 times on Screen Brightness option and it will unlock additional setting.

For me it is not installed the only camera app I can find is the Google camera. I used the open GApps stock package. Maybe this somehow replaces the default camera app?

I guess. In all of my flashing i install the mini package though.

So can anybody please extract the snapcamera app as zip or apk and post it here. Would help me a lot. I think it's possible using fe titanium backup.
Edit I tried reflashing the rom without GApps. No changes : Google camera remains the standard camera apk

You need to wipe before reflashing the ROM, otherwise Google Camera may remain.
Use a version of the GApps that does not contain Google Camera. Google Camera replaces your default Snapdragon Camera: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Package-Comparison
