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 :/

Took the plunge last night and flashed the DarkSide VENOM #666 kernel on my Skyrocket running CM10 jellybean (unofficial Team Chopsticks). True to the posts of many forum users, this got all camera-related functionality working reliably and consistently. But there is still no stock camera app present, even after flashing 0729 Google apps. Is there an easy way to install the stock Android camera app now that my kernel will support it?
If u have a cm9 rom simply extract the apk and use root explorer and paste it in /system/app, and set the proper permissions using long press > permissions (should be the same as every other already present app) then reboot. Presto! Camera

So...interestingly enough, I'm on CM9 (Skyrocket I727) and extracted the original UCLF6 Stock Samsung Camera apk (and odex) and attempted to restore it to /system/app (first just the apk and when that didn't work, the odex too). The camera app simply was missing from the drawer. Even after a reboot.
Any thoughts? Does this, perhaps, require the SGSII Framework? If so, is this something I can restore without messing up other components? Sorry if these questions are stupid...

Yes, there is a flasable zip for 4.2.. and an Apk for 4.1.. I'll get you the links..
http://www.mediafire.com/download/k398w5809uo4b05/Camera_JB+_v1.1.4_apkmania.com.apk (4.1 apk)
http://www.mediafire.com/download/j4w0ljsw04tde8m/4.2Camera_t04.zip (4.2 zip)
These will provide the gallery and camera, just download onto your phone, flash zip for 4.2, for the Apk you simply need to locate the file in you SD (should be downloads folder) and install it, you'll need to allow unknown sources in the security settings for the apk to install.. If you install both, you'll have two cameras and two galleries and there is no way to delete one of the galleries without also deleting the associated camera as well..

I once had working knowing OK google was broken. However after flashing new ROM I tried again and I couldn't get as it kept fc right away.
Most people wrote it couldn't get done without lollipop.
However, by getting into settings quickly turning off hot word detection in google search app settings, waaallaa it works!
Thought I should help me peeps out there
Matt
yes, disabling all voice features is a bandaid fix for now
For make it work properly you need to install the new lib files from the lollipop version.
You must paste this files to the /system/lib/ folder:
libgoogle_hotword_jni.so: https://mega.co.nz/#!OplkCaiD!h1mRDhtiRIaVHPZiKUovPLDa5gJQGqJzWa3vwyMUaPI

I'm on 4.3 and downloaded the libraries, all I need now is an apk.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA Free mobile app
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.

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?

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?

Do Moto and Moto Camera force close in the latest nightlies of LineageOS? I have the fix.
Get into TWRP and mount /system/
Then go to /system/framework/
You will see some .jar files starting with "com.motorola.XXX". Just remove them (ONLY THE com.motorola FILES).
Restart your device and it will work.
If Moto Camera doesn't record, uninstall current Moto Camera and flash the camera from here. Thanks to @Alberto97. It installs the camera as a system app and it configures permissions.
If for some reason you erase the wrong file and LineageOS doesn't work, just reinstall the build.
If you have some force closes of something called "Motorola Settings" or similar, just uninstall it with a system app uninstaller.
If it works for you, please tell me in this thread. Thanks to @dimusa .

You won't have any problem changing the ROM or getting back to stock because you are only removing some files from LineageOS/AOSP (and similar ROM) which makes some camera apps not working.
I got back to stock to try some kernels and I didn't have any problem.
Hey man thanks alot for this worked like a charm ??

I think that deleting those moto files affects the focusing methods - originally done with both laser focus and phase detect auto-focus (PDAF).
The "normal" focus in Lineage/Cyanogen is contrast-detection, the weakest method (and power intensive).

Sorry I am new to twrp...i followed the steps..i mounted the system from twrp recovery..but how to delete those files can anyone tell me.. Thanks ..
@EvilHowl Yup, it works perfectly on AOSP-CAF ROM after deleting those jar files but I can not change the default storage target to SD card. Any help??
Can I delete the files from within ES File Explorer or it has to be through TWRP Mount?
Edit: yes it can be done and the moto camera works.
I am getting the Moto Settings force close, but a system uninstaller shows two Moto Settings apps, which do I uninstall?
