I was upgrading some of the system apps on my phone with KitKat versions, since the LG stock versions weren't that great. I downloaded the KitKat camera app, and from what I read, was advised to remove the stock camera app to prevent any problems. I backed up the stock LG camera app on my SD card, and installed the KitKat camera app. I got the panorama mode to work, as well as the filters in the KitKat gallery app. I thought everything was working, so I deleted my backed up camera app, only to figure out later on that the Kitkat camera app would freeze anytime I tried to take a video. Granted, the camera on my phone sucks horribly, but I could not find a way to get it to work with the Kitkat camera app or even the early 4.2 Camera/Gallery app. So what I'm asking is, can anyone upload the LG camera apk and odex file that comes with the LG Optimus Dynamic II? Or would it be possible to try and get my video camera to work with the Kitkat or 4.2 camera app? I've uploaded a cat log file, but I'd rather not do much work since the camera is not that great at all, and I just want to be able to take videos on my phone.

EDIT: You know what, i appologize for this, at first glance i saw "camera" on miui's rom, but then saw MIUI Camera... Sorry to waste this space, i'll update if all works well.
I want to install the MIUI camera app onto my NS4G running CM7 Rev4 because of the touch-to-focus feature, but since the MIUI camera doesn't support the front-facing camera, i want to have them both installed in case I would like to use the ff camera.
I understand the camera.apk for both cameras are listed in the app drawer under "camera" so I was hoping someone would be able to change the name of one of them slightly so they could both be installed together.
Am i blowing hot air here? cuz i feel like it shouldn't be too difficult to do (not for me, but for someone who has experience with apk decompiling/compiling).
I also understand the 2 different camera apps have different frameworks (ie: with the wrong framework, the settings feature in MIUI camera won't work). So additionally, can the framework apk for the 2nd camera app be adjusted as well, so both camera apps will work completely?
turns out just pushing the MiuiCamera.apk over to a CM7 ROM doesn't work. Not sure what else has to be done, if someone could take a crack at it would be great
is there a way to pushing the apk to CM7 #21 ?
i just put the apk in the system\app folder named miuicamera.apk
and it disabled my stock camera aswell
I am on modded rom with 213 dpi and the stock Camera app is not good-looking in this mod (messy icons). I have tried some third party apps but didnt actually like them except android 4.2 applications.
SO! Would anybody please pass me a link for android 4.2 gallery and camera apps working on touchwiz base rom?
I once tired and flashed it, gallery app was fine but in camera app the video capture reboot my phone. Are even these apps compatible with our Note?
All your help would be appreciated.
Problem solved, I found this one:
Camera JB+

The on-going debate about the S3's camera when using Touchwiz vs. an AOSP ROM made me wonder about the camera apps itself. Which camera app do you primarily use? Coming from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, I actually miss the AOSP camera app (where you have the touch-wheel that lets you adjust settings on the fly). The stock TW camera app isn't quite as intuitive (e.g. to change white balance, I have to press the Options button and scroll down through a litany of settings just to change it).
I've been tempted to try OTHER camera apps, like Camera MX. Does anyone have a preference?
Snap camera. Easy. Love it. There is a thread here somewhere where the developer is active in it.

I had been using this camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.camerajbplus&hl=en until getting onto 4.3.1, whenever I use a 3rd party camera, it's fails and then no app can connect to the camera, I have clear the cache and dalvik cache to get the stock camera to work. But if the the jb+ camera works for you I'd recommend it. I use this camera when I'm not in a rush https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro&hl=en (there's a lite version too I think) It just gives you complete control of your camera. It's great for arty fartsy stuff but if you need to take a quick photo it might not be the best the app.
Stock Camera
I use the stock camera, but I just downloaded VSCO Cam, I'll see if its any good.

Ok so I got the 4.4.2 OTA last night and the video camera sucks big time,I've downloaded the stock 4.4 camera apk but when I run it, it just says app not installed, so I tried to copy it directly to the system/app folder but the folder seems to be set to read only so I can't delete the new camera or replace it with the older one,Tried using es file explorer
Anyone managed to do reinstall the older stock 4.4 Camera ?
Dude u need Root to Change a System App.
But if u have a Problem with 4.2.2 try to get Out of the Box 4.4 with Sideload 4.4.2 update
And plus, the Camera. apk wasn't the only modified file

It is more than the apk. You have to roll back to 4.4.0 as the changes are more than just the camera apk.
The new camera is dark in lower light but honestly I think the quality looks much better over all with it. Google just capped the camera to preserve quality by forcing it to be darker in low light. Take it outside in the day light or a well lit room it should be true to life then.
Either way you will need to unlock your bootloader and root so you can roll back to 4.4 if you want the 4.4 camera performance.

I agree the camera is better in the sense that it is faster but it now doesn't run in full screen anymore,Also I'm talking about the video recording is almost pitch black,There was nothing wrong with video recording before the update so why they messed with that I have no idea,
Thanks for the help,looks like I'm going back to 4.4

The preview isn't fullscreen? Thank goodness they fixed that. With 4.4 you get a 16:9 viewscreen for a 4:3 picture...
Also if you use a camera app that let's you control you're own exposure time you won't have to worry about the limitations of Google's automatic settings.
Hello and good day everyone, these past few days my default camera app can capture up to 13megapixel and today, i just found out that it's stock in 8megapixel. But apparently Droid Info detected my phone having a 13 megapixrl camera resolution, i also download a camera app called camera 360 and it can also capture up to 13megapixel. I also tried to clear data and restore my camera app to default but nothing happens. Is there any way to fix this problem? I just want to use my default camera app, it suits me perfectly. Thankyou very much
