Custom ROM w/ TouchWiz Camera features?..

I was wondering possible to run a custom ROM jelly bean and have samsung's TouchWiz Camera features? I am currently running CM10 9-17 Nightly build. I love the fast Jelly Bean experience but I do miss the touchWiz camera features and speed. I also want to report bugs such a GPS Lock issues, volume issues with both speakerphone & ear piece speaker.(very loud) Please help because I'd rather just know what to install from others than try a million different ROMs risking brickin my phone.

well there really isn't a million roms... the list is pretty short... if you can follow instructions you won't brick your phone. and besides, these phones are so easy to fix when you screw up
what you're looking for is the JellyWiz rom, based on the leaked tmobile TouchWiz 4.1.1
all in all it works pretty well, not perfect though.

Well since I can't post in the development thread, I'll ask here since I didn't find my answering search.
I'm on CM10-9/17. Is there anyway to get the camera to save pictures to the external sd card?
Back in my Droidx days, after flashing a particular ROM, someone came up with a flashable apk for the Motorola Blur Camera. What are the possibilities of this happening with the S3?

When you do a clean install, the contents on /sd card and /ext_sdcard are never touched. That's why the pictures, videos, music and downloads always appear after a flash.
I like to have music, videos and pictures on the external sd card so if I have to send the phone back for any reason I can keep my personal files.

It should only crash on recording 1080p. It works fine for me except that. I was posting that more as an answer to saving to your ext SD like DJSgalaxy asked.

Hey I really like jellywiz, it's everything I want from Jelly Bean with all the touchWiz features but I've noticed my headset sounds very low, almost no bass. I thought it was my 3.5mm wire but I plugged my brothers phone in and played music and it sounded fine. Let me know if anybody else out there noticed that issue. Thanks

Wow, great post.
I have the same problem. Would like the touchwiz camera app. it's way faster than AOSP camera on CM10.

Install this rom and you'll get everything you love about Jelly Bean with TouchWiz

KK 4.4.2 Camera does not work

I am writting this on the Gen Forum since I am a new user.
I am having issues with the 4.4.2 ROM. I love how light weight and non-sense it is but the camera is broken in the 12-25-2013 build. Even though the title of the rom thread says it does work, it doesnt. I am using JB cam from Market but would love to have the default KK app work.
I am also having issue with battery. I did a full charge with the phone off and it was down 20-25% after just a few hours of use. I didnt know if reseting the batt stats would help or is that just BS?
I DO LOVE the fact that MAP (Message Access Protocol) for Bluetooth is working in the ROM! Finally, my car (2013 Nissan Altima) can send text messages for me! This was supported by Android after 4.4 according to Wikipedia. Now I don't have to buy a new phone!
MODS: IF you need to move this, please do. Just know that I am a new user so I have not gotten my 10 posts...
Thanks for the help in advanced!

With 29.12. build camera is working again

There isnt any completly 'stable' KitKat stock camera ported yet... but we are getting there! The meaning of 'camera is working' is that previously camera didnt work at all with the first kitkat ports! It took some weeks to finally port a 'working' solution that alloves to use the camera!
in the meantime you can try to flash this gapps camera : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857
primary this stock camera is working! Few glitches here and there but at least you can take pics or record video and you dont need to install 3rd party apps!

Try this, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radcam.camera
Nexus KitKat cam on Google Store

The issue that I have now is that the camera only takes half a picture. its the strangest thing...
+-------------------------------------------------------+
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
+-------------------------------------------------------+
Thats what it looks like... its really odd... I have tried the stock camera after I just flashed the ROM (12/30/2013) after a FULL wipe of all partitions. I even tried the nexus camera as suggested and it failed in the same way
EDIT: Played around some more and the front camera is fine. Now the back camera is taking pics where there is a green bar in the middle and some there is slight distortion at the bottom. Then the grean bar is at the bottom... I am i the only unlucky one? haha
EDIT 2: Tried flashing the google camera and same thing. Is there something wrong with my phone?
Thanks for the help!

Did u Try latest build??
all camera Work
try a stock ROM to know if its only a ROM or an hardware issue

Get this ...
the panarama works, the globe view works, video works ..... yeah and now the camera works.... argh... dang it.... sorry... I will see if I can break it again... haha.
Thanks again

I think i got it figured out....
So it only happens with in the first couple load cycles after reboot.... then it mellows out or something....
anyway, I will keep an eye on it....
I have attached the image that I was talking about...

On 4.2.2 ROMS at first build of superXE ROM, it was the same thing, to solve that i remember we was able to instal FOCAL...
Maybe that's the way, try it
FOCAL (Beta)
It works on the latest [ROM][4.4.2][UNOFFICIAL]CarbonRom for Sensation[03 Jan]

I am on CM11 by android1234567 with Kernel 52 and for me the camera works fine.

Ok now I am totally lost.... haha. I just downloaded Focal and the camera looks great and the pictures are showing up in preview. Here is where is gets weird:
In the gallery, when I look at the picture in tile mode they all look fine and they have no errors. However, when I select one to view, I get blue shades, grey block, distortion, etc.
I am uploading the pics with this post.
I blurred a few things out that I did not want the whole world to see. Notice the purple in the bigger pic. When I look at the same pic on the computer it has the grey box and the purple what-ever-it-is.
I hope this helps in seeing my issue. And, yes, I have formatted my SD card a few times now. It is S-ON, HBOOT 1.27.00, bootloader unlocked.
Thank you for all your help!

use other app , for example snap camera
im using snap camera and it's perfect

Same here, with this Rom camera works well
Gesendet von meinem HTC Sensation mit Tapatalk

its working just flash the PA stock Gapps and the camera should work fine

I have moved on to Venom 5.x
The camera works in that ROM just fine. I am just not sure what is wrong with the MAP feature of the Bluetooth.
I will create a new thread for that one.
Camera never did work no matter how I flash it. frustrating really. I will track both ROMs for fixes.
Thanks for the help

[Q] Camera on a custom ROM

I was going to post this in the Droid Kang ROM thread, but I don't have enough posts to post in the developers forum.
I finally jumped ship from stock and ended up on the Droid Kang ROM. I'm liking it quite a lot, but two issues with the camera that I didn't have before:
- Is there any way to make the volume keys take a picture?
- Face detection isn't enabled anymore (which links to focus and exposure)
Is there an option somewhere that I'm missing? Or a camera apk update that I could do?
Thanks in advance!

bump...any thoughts?

Your best option would be to use a different camera app like Camera FV-5.. ProCapture...

I've bought a ton of camera apps but never found anything I liked more than the stock camera. Most of them seemed too clunky and not actually improve the photo taking experience or quality. I'll check these out, thanks!

LG G3 AOSP Camera quality solution

Hi everybody,
A lot of people buy that model because of camera quality, a lot of us like AOSP based roms. But the camera lost quality because of LG framework issue. I tryed i lot of camera programs, but results are worst. Only the apk LG camera for AOSP (for LG2) get very good quality, and i compared to stock LG G3 camera. But that apk not give any settings, also flash setings on CM12 based roms. I am sure it is big issue for all of us. If simebody can recommend some solution, will be great!
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app

Hi, same for me. I only hope some dev can give it a try and solve this issue... Fix the G2 apk could be a nice start ! At least fix the settungs like you said.
Btw, give a try to resurrection remix rom, cause the camera quality is very nice. I'm on it since the beginnig and recording is so far better than the others, smooth and fast. It's probably between stock LG camera and XCam

i Think its a Driver Problem

Camera quality cant be solved yet.I read somewhere that devs are trying to improve but i think that quality wont even get close to stock .
Hope for the best

Jishnu's Camera f40
Jishnu's Camera f40 give perfect quality, i compared to stock LG Camera on stock firmware, and no difinerenses. But settings works not properly. And problem with size of camera monitoring on display, but size of pictures are right. I tryed on Resurrection Lollipop v5.2.5 and 5.0.2 Euphoria-OS 1.0. I think some little tuning of mod and we can get best present to ney year.

i remember his work for G2. i hope someone could pick this up where he leaved!
i think many of us would honor this and donate for a aosp quality cam solution!

Jishnu's Camera the MOD for the Stock anyone has some news about it? for the Lollipop

Maybe it's possible to port the LG framework to aosp or just the libs it require to make the camera works. I remember the folks at miui used to make a ton based on the stock one so all the things works fine. So if we could make a port of cm inside the stock or the other we could make it work.

I am also thought about that. I hope one of developers will give us good solution. I am sure a lot of us will donate for that issue.

This wouldn't work for me. It mounts and installed into /system/app, but I noticed in Illusion, that folder is filled with folders, unlike in older versions of android. I also tried manually installing the APK into the same folder as the original camera app, removing it and correcting permissions, but no go.
