Hey guys,
I searched the web and haven't found much. What's really keeping me from going to a custom rom - be it GPE/AOSP (like Paranoid Android) or CM-Based - are those 3 features (Moto Assist, Camera, Gallery - even Radio FM). Sadly I only found negative evidence.
Are there any apks of those apps out there that work 100% on AOSP/CM-based roms? Or alternatives that have the same simplicity of design and functions?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Alternatives :
1. Assist - Quiet hours in various roms or profiles option.
2. Camera - In my opinion, the AOSP camera is much better than the stock camera application. The only thing missing is slow motion recording.
3. Gallery - There are many gallery applications available on the play store.
4. FM Radio - All of the roms I have flashed till now had a FM Radio app. And it also allows you to play the audio via the external speaker.

Thanks for answering mate, much appreciated.
1. Main feature I use from Assist is that the phone goes quiet during an calendar appointment and auto replies to favorite calls (family). Can't find a similar app that just does that and/or doesn't have a bulky, ugly interface.
2. agreed, but Google Camera doesn't support panorama nor slow motion + HDR on the Moto G
3. tried a few. Again I like the simple, unbulky Moto Gallery with sidebar and autohide status bar feature.
Did no one ever try to port those 3 apps? :/ I can't be the only one wondering/asking this.

1. No that feature is not there in AOSP ROMs.
2. I'm taking about the AOSP camera and not the Google camera. In the AOSP camera we have panaroma and HDR. The only thing missing is the slow motion capture.
3. If you want simplicity then the AOSP gallery is good. The only thing not available is the sidebar.

I don't remember if it does the auto-SMS, but Llama (FOSS, on the Play Store) can certainly use the calendar plus a whole bunch of other conditions to silence the phone, change "profiles" (enabling things like different ringtones at home and work, or silencing/changing some notification with the LlamaTones ringtone selector) and generally trigger actions.

Exactly same situation here. I'm torn between staying stock and going CM but loosing these three apps.
Moto camera and gallery apps are absolutely the best around. AOSP gallery is outdated and downright ugly. Also, there is no gallery app that performs nearly as smooth as moto gallery.
It shouldn't be THAT hard to port these apks, right?

Google Camera App - Released to the Public on April 16th.
I tested it with CM11 on Note 2 and works like the champ with only a issues.
Have you faced any issues with this camera yet?
Code:
Google Camera snaps quick and easy photos and videos, and has creative picture modes like Photo Sphere, Lens Blur and Panorama.
Features
• Photo Spheres for immersive 360º views
• Lens Blur mode for SLR-like photos with shallow depth of field
• Panorama mode with high resolution
• 100% viewfinder for getting the maximum resolution from the sensor (no dropped pixels)
• Updated UI that gets out of your way and is centered on an extra large capture button
• Works on phones and tablets running Android 4.4+ KitKat
Download Link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
Is it only me or the Camera UI is really ugly/simple/Looks like First Android Camera APK made by kid?

Actually I completely agree with you. It is fairly childish but honestly Note 2 on CM11 this app works better than the currently alternative. Hence my excitement
Missing options
i do have an issue, there's no panorama, and no photo sphere, even tho i have this options on my cm11 camera
Apparently Google is leaning towards "dumbing things down" by removing the more complex capabilities in some of their native apps by making them so simplistic as to literally become "point and shoot," especially with respect to this particular camera app. But when you think about it, the overwhelming majority of smartphone owners want just that: a device that works, that's simple to use, and doesn't require a huge set of menu options to just "point and shoot" and get good/useful results so, I suppose it's a winner in that manner for sure.
Tried it a few times, doesn't seem particularly special or useful over some other camera apps like Focal or others. Doesn't seem to do HDR natively and there's no option to enable it so that relegates this app to "ok, I tried it and then I uninstalled it" status for me.
For me its not better than LG G2 modded cam app.
The issue with me is that the CM11 Camera app gets stuck too often hence this is a great alternative
It is good, the only problem for me is when the flash is on and I tap to focus and than to take a picture theres a lag of about 5 seconds. Anyone have this problem? Also no HDR mod, and my camera have that option.
I'm having FC on settings option, on carbon kitkat in Samsung i9070.
love the lens blur mode. Any more cam apps that have this option?
I like it.
Yes the settings option does FC the app but honestly at this current moment, its better than the default camera app.
actually, the only setting i would change is 16:9 ratio, nothing else.
if some1 knows a shortcut for this...?
Good to know, may need to try this out, with custom roms i found a few the camera app always frooze or crashed

I've tried to change the settings thru the preferences files saved in \\data\data\com.googleCamera\shared_prefs\, but I couldn't change the resolution to the max, only the grid, flash, etc.
I want to change the "photosphere" and the "lens blur" to max resolution.
Any Idea?
let me try
Going to download it now and give a try in my grand i9082
I'll be trying it out on my Galaxy S2 with PACROM 4.4.2
Someone minds uploading it somewhere and sharing the link, I can find it on play store but it says its not available in my country I find that weird as its just a camara application...

I'm running GPE 5.0.1, is there anyway to sideload the Motorola Camera and Gallery apps? Tried the simple sideload apk, obviously doesn't work, maybe some missing libs.
I like GPE and no moto care, moto id crap but I really like the camera and the gallery. :_
Help.

I actually don't really dislike the Google Camera. My problem is mainly that I don't like Photos Google+ App (I disable it) so now I'm using Quickpic, but when you swipe left from the Google Camera it uses it's own weird built-in gallery unless you tap edit.
Also, no FM radio on 5.0.1, however I didn't use it even once

Quickpic is great. And for camera, I choose Open Camera. It is customizable and the photo preview app can be configured.
Waiting for Moto Camera too, I miss HDR and slow-mo was a cool feature.
You could flash this zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...llery-apps-t2965282/post57456853#post57456853 . Tested myself and everything works just fine. HDR and Slow-mo aren´t there, though.

Without those features it doesn't worth it. There is probably some missing library.
We need someone in stock Lollipop (non-GPE) rooted to bring the Camera apk and the needed libraries.
Hi
I have been messing around with custom roms for a few weeks now, I am liking the CM12 nightly builds but always find myself going back to the stock roms due to the missing of some of the stock apps...
Would anyone be kind enough to give me some good / close alternatives for apps like:
Camera app
Album app (can't stand stock photos app)
Email app (don't like gmail)
The email app is not really a bit one as I already know of many good alternatives in the play store, as for the camera / album apps I don't know of any good alternatives

thr s no apps like these they r special
for example AR effect of Xperia Camera and lots of smooth/nice feature on album
so if u need them just back to stock rom...
:good:
They don't have to be exactly the same, just something that can do the same job, The stock android camera app is just awful
Why don't you try Manual Camera and Cyanogen Gallery?
Both available on Play Store.
Btw, Manual Camera is only for Lollipop.
Those are perfect thanks for the help

hello ,

just a question does the mute button work?
are you using the stock camera app of letv?
Nice work. How is the battery life compared to eui?

The mute button doesn't work and I think it will never, because nobody except of letv knows exactly how they implemented this and even if it would be quite hard to port because there is just no such button designated in pure android.
The rom uses a different camera app than stock, I don't even know from which device or rom it's ported but it supports most of the stuff the stock rom supports(or even more?). The stock camera app is not installable on aosp (yet).

Hey guys,
Unfortunately I found a bug. Something is causing a "PhoneWindowManager.mBroadcastWakeLock" which completely prevents the phone from going into deep sleep .
EDIT:I found the reason. This bug happens if you use the volume rocker(VOL+/VOL-) but ONLY when the screen is turned off. I also have good news, I know which file I have to edit. It will take some time to get used to the java source code because it contains thousands of lines. A temporarily fix would be to only allow to adjust volume when the screen is on.
To avoid that it drains your battery so much, please regularly check WakeLockDetector. If you reboot the phone the wakelock is gone.

I know, I was wondering about this wakelock before but I could not find the reason or if it is even related to the rom It also happens in the mdsteam rom for Note 2. I know how to fix it now but I don't have time anymore to compile and pack everything together. I think it's ready on Wednesday if everything goes well...
I like AOSP rom very much. It goes ok for me!
Congrats on the great development!
For me, slow-mo video and the "mute" switch were two important things when buying the phone, so I won't install your ROM right now.
I'm a bit confused by your original post - you talk about a stock camera app, but later you say it is not the original one by letv. So is it the original one with support for all the camera features or not? cheers
Any ideas for rooting?
Root is simply! You go into recovery. Then, you flash update-su.zip beta 2.49 over recovery.

Gerrit, how's the GPS on this ROM? The same as the spanish AOSP or EUI?
Different is a little! Camera goes well! I flashed this rom two days and i am pleasant with it!
Can anyone comment how is the wifi signal strenght?
Thank you guys for the praise
Version 1.0.3final is now ready. It fixes the wakelock bug and I've tested it over one day now and it seems to run pretty well, no more wakelocks at all, also no crashes. I decided to only make an ultralight Edition from now on, so everybody can combine the addons as he likes.
I will provide gps and wifi test shortly.

Some notes:
/recovery-from-boot.p.bak - do we need it?
LED is white when charging, red is better
I wonder if IrDa port and remote control app work
tap on "Menu" shows APP_SWITCH instead MENU (/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl)
adb devices doesn't list the device even with USB debugging enabled. Actually, the same was in EUI, but I hoped it will work
can you extend the reboot menu?
PicoTts always is forced close! Phone numer of sms is divided into 2 parts, sent and received.

1. I don't think so, but is has only about 700kb, so I didn't really cared about it so far
2. Actually the LED is changing the color while loading regarding to the battery level
3. No it doesn't I will add this to the main post
4. I don't know what you exactly mean. Pressing the circle button shortly will enter the menu and long will enter recent apps. What I want to add is that a long press will enter the Google App. The generic file you posted is just about adding linux key codes to different names. The actual event which happens when you press a button usually is written down in java code.
5. I know. I also have trouble with adb and the letv. I think we have to blame mediatek.
6. Yes I will.

I fixed the picotts issue already, it will come in the next version
Regarding the sms app I can only repeat what I wrote in the other thread about he dialer app. I don't make these apps, they come from aosp/google, if there is something wrong blame them. The main idea behind my rom is to provide a most lightweight and pure android experience as possible. For example one guy uses nova, the other hola and some use apex. The same goes for sms or dialer. I don't want to load this rom full of unecessary stuff you'll never use, feel free to install what ever you like. I don't have this issue btw. The way how you saved your contacts(e.g. with or without country code) might be the problem. The Messenger is the most recent version from google -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging&hl=de
Hello,
So after experimenting with a few roms, Lineage 15.1 in particular, and after researching this forum, I have come to realize that there is very minimal options available for those looking to preserve the video recording capability of the original LG app - this is an important must have feature for me, since the features are not replicated anywhere else.
Is there any custom ROM available that has this feature? Or is it just the stock rooted ROMs that have this? How about any modified stock ROM that maintains the camera apps, either on Nougat or Oreo?
Thank you.

This should posted in Q&A and not here
Sent from my LG-H910 using XDA Labs
cstark27's GCam mods are the closest you'll probably get. You get nowhere near the manual control over the camera as you do on stock, but thank LG and their proprietary this-and-that for that one.
His mods are quite good though, and I've used them personally to get some pretty damn nice pictures myself.
We can do it but we need to decompile both frameworks stock LG and Lineage Os and make a framework that can Help us run LG base apps also to not break lineage apps.....It is possible and requires much time something that most of devs of V20 dont have

Hello, I had same problem as you when switched to RR-OS ROM before I found a HedgeCam2 app.
This app can record LOG-profile videos with full manual controls, manual bitrate, framerate, resulotion settings and has nice software stabilization. Also on v20 it switches between wide and normal cameras no problem. In comparison to stock LG camera app my only complain about HedgeCam2 is that sound quality is not that good. But video quality itself is even better due to ton of controls. You can even set noise reduction levels and sharpening.
Hedgecam2 is based on OpenCamera, it's free, open source, no ads. Try it!
Tried it, weak. UHD files at so called 70mbps are actually only recorded at 1080p in resultant file. App removed.
