hi guys.
so there is something that is driving me crazy here.
i own a XT 925 and the update for KK 4.4.2 has already came for my device. but unfortunately when i updated, i got the popping noise issue and i really didnt like it, so i went back to JB 4.1.2
but the problem is: I WANT A KK ROM!
so i'm flashing a lot of KK roms and there is always one problem: the CAMERA.
all cameras that came in the kk roms i'm flashing arent good. i mean, bad quality, it doesnt focus properly.
but the stock jb camera is perfect.
so i have already tried a lot of things, download stock camera apks, change in system/app, try to install it like any apk but i just can't, the phone won't do it. it just says "app not installed" and that's it.
so i would like to ask you guys what can i do about this...
1) is there a way to fix this "app not installed" issue? i need to change the Camera to a good one which can focus properly so i can take good pics (i've already tried moto x camera apk, but again, it's just not as good as stock 4.1.2 was...stock jb camera focus a lot better)
2) if i upgrade my phone to official KK, and flash a custom rom which is KKBL, will i be able to install a stock camera APK on that custom rom?
i just dont know what to do anymore...i don't want to stay on JB, i want KK. but i also want good Camera
please someone save me from this !!
thanks

I had some trouble rooting after I first did a 4.4.2 OTA. So I downgraded to 4.3 and got root and installed TWRP without any trouble.
So from a 4.3 firmware I went to Cyanogenmod (Android 4.4.2). Is that ok ? Or do I need to upgrade radio, boot or other parts that dont come with a custom rom? In other words: is a (rooted) 4.4.2 firmware a precondition for installing alternative 4.4.2 roms?
Well, everything might not work perfectly as many things (though little) changed from 4.3 to 4.4. Yup, most of those things (radio,etc) change, flashing a cm11 rom wont change those and cm will most likely need them. Better to upgrade to 4.4. Also, does ART (new kitkat runtime) need anything new from kernel or anything? I don't see anyone who seems to have tried this and might mostly not work.
Also, What root trouble did you have? Easier to solve that issue than deal with any new issues that might arise from this.

Thanks. I will look into that. The kernel is included in a ROM though wright? So that wont be an issue I guess... But just to be save I'll flash 4.4.2 firmware and start from there. My problem was I actually got root, but flashed custom roms always got stuck in the boot animation. The thread on that is here.
Since rom Kitkat has a lot of errors that I went back to JB. However, the camera is supposedly better in the new rom. My question: Is it possible to move the camera application from KK to JB?

The errors only seem to happen when you do not do a full wipe of the phone before migrating. xzx0O0s thread is the one I followed and it all went smoothly. Testimony from other successful users listed there as well. KK is much better all round. So don't give up, make it work.
To answer your question, no, the system files are completely different.
My problem is after installation of 4.2 rom i lost my radio, but only in kitkat.The original kitkat tmobile rom seems to fix that, but then again any other rom is with broken radio. CM11 is ok, but if im not wrong the cm radio is being written on different partition, than the kitkats one.Tried KK_baseband_801.zip and LG801_20A_RADIO.zip.Neither of them fixes the issue.A can live with CM11 but i am really sorry i cant have access to the UHD camera.So i guess you guys are going to tell me to downgrade .Probably that will fix it but i`ve to install Windows 7 again so im not in a hurry.I can try it in virtual box but didn't had success before that and had to temporarily install windows.Ultimately id like to interchange betwen cm11 and lightning v2 rom with the slow motion camera and the other extras.Its just too much bloatware with the tmobile version plus its checking to see if you have tethering plan, which is incompatible with unlimited data.
Thanks
Installed stock after all, since the baseband issue still exist if put something else, but i used smileys ROM then installed "autorec xda" which is capable off flashing twrp in case you need CM.The UHD cam is cool to play with , although i wish to be possible to manual focusing during video recording instead this useless thing to take a picture.What do you think.

I agree on your comment. This should have been considered before the device got manufactured..
Hello I have nexus 5. Bootloader unlocked. Running CM 12.1
I downloaded the "Google camera" app.
Here are my questions...
I wantvthe exact camera app that comes stock with the phone..can u link me
Also the HDR setting on the app thatvi have dissapered..what could have happened? How can I get it back?
Thank you
As far as I know, the app from stock is Google Camera. And yes, you get HDR+ on the app too.

That apk mirror link should be the most recent version. If the HDR function doesn't show up on your phone then the ROM is affecting something.
i cant get to that link..its not working
It work for me!
ok so thats what i have.. so now what? my phone is bad? i bought this phone like this.. so its a little over my head on how to do things
If you just bought the phone I think I would flash back the stock google image so you are running completely stock.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
There are a ton of threads around here and on Google about how to flash a factory image. Once you've done that if you're interested then you can learn about rooting and flashing custom roms and stuff.
Buying a phone with a custom rom isn't a great idea if you don't know how to tinker with stuff like that I don't think. It really is easy to flash a factory image. The "hardest" part is making sure you have the drivers installed.
i didnt realize what i was buying when i did.. i just needed it unlocked.. so i have NO idea how to know if i have drivers. i managed to flash gapps on here so that was something. ill look at that sight.
so you defiantly think that is the problem with the google camera? could it be anything else easier for me to fix?
I got this problem on my camera results. The color and texture of the images produce is such a big difference before capturing and after it captured. Its quite annoying and disappointing to see such images not quite good in quality after the update to lollipop. Im using a stock rom with Build number 18.6.A.0.175 and says that its my latest rom, I dont receive any OTA update such as 182.
Is there someone who can solve this problem?
Thanks!
if you don't receive update, i think you have root.
if you have root, flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...ashable-camera-blobs-morpho-settings-t3281766
if you haven't root, flash .182 ftf to your phone via flashtool.
Still the problem
I've alredy flash that camera file zip via recovery but nothing has change, still the results are just like using old one which is the stock camera app of. 175. Help please
sorry for my bad english ?
It does work I've flashed it myself to get the updated files. Try clearing the data from all the camera apps and wiping caches
