Flashing JB Camera app

I am on Stock ICS but my camera app is very slow and autofocus is also not working properly. Also, the gallery app is very slow and really takes time to zoom the pictures (Picture viewing app like QuickPic works really fast).
I just want to know that if I flash JB(4.2) Camera app, will it work better. I want to know that whether it will replace the default Camera app or will work as a separate application ? If it doesn't work properly how can I remove it?
Link for JB 4.2 Camera and Gallery app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965895
Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah it will work fine, youve to be rooted though.
It will work like a separate application and you can remove the app by removing the apk files and lib files /system/app and system/lib resp. We'll get into details if you don't feel like having it, first see if u like it.
Edit: BTW, the photosphere mode won't work for our phone since our phone doesn't have a gyroscope.
If auto focus and stock gallery are a problem, there's always the RazrM camera app in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32286710
It has multi shot and shutter tone toggle which the 4.2 is currently missing. Also you can link the gallery from the camera as quickpic and autofocus is as good as any moto camera app.

When you click on the gallery icon on top right of the camera screen.. it'll ask you to select a default application to open photos.

Can you tell me any widget to directly toggle between 2G to 3G? Its built in CM and some samsung phones. I didn't wanted to start a separate thread so asked the question here.

Theres no widget to directly toggle 2g/3g, the max you can do is get to the Mobile Network Settings page and select the desired network
i use 2G-3G On Off widget by curvefish from play store.. gets the work done..
are you able to select 2g or 3g network from Settings/Mobile Networks/Select Network ? if not then heres a mod to change that

[Q] How to chnage default camera phoros viewer ?

I want to change the app that opens when I try to view the pictures I took from the camera app (by clicking the thumbnail in the camera app). When I open the last picture the camera app open it with Album which shows all the picture on my device !! is there any way to change it to another app, quickpic for example ?
I've tried clearing defaults in both the Camera and Album Apps but it seems that there is nothing to clear !

So why do you open another thread, asking the same thing. Is it not obvious to you that maybe it can't be done, which is why no response?

Sony Z5 help request

Couple of issues I have and wondered if someone could help.
The camera function places a huge grey chunk over 1/3 of the screen, with the capture button and settings. Can this be made transparent?
The pre-installws gallery app seems to have no means of separating photos. I've got my WhatsApp media jumbled with the photos I take and the other videos I've taken. Am I being silly or is this just a garbage attempt by Sony to revamp Android? Additionally, how can I change the default app that is opened through the camera, when trying to explore the media.
Thanks all
Renz

Change the resolution to a 16:9 resolution to get rid of the grey side. That's what 4:3 looks like on a 16:9 screen.
You can't change the default app from Sony's own camera. If you want to use photos from a camera app, use the Google camera app.

In album you can change how your photos are displayed, try the folder option from the left menu.
To change the default app,go to apps in the settings and click the app you want and clear default option.

no , you cant change the default gallery app from there. you can only do it by decompiling the apk and changing a line , or with an xposed module . sony camera doesnt give you the option to change the default gallery app that is launched from the sony camera

Stock camera app photo viewing app

Is there a way to change the default app (Gallery) that is used to view photos from within the stock camera app?
I've had to disable the stock gallery app, because it was causing issues with other apps, and have installed Google Photos. But when I try to view a photo after taking it the camera app says 'Unable to find application to perform this action'.
I can't find any option in the camera app settings.
Thanks.

there's alot of gallery apps on playstore, i suggest to use Simple Gallery app. cuz its clean, simple and ad-free.

Installed but still can't open/view photos from the camera app. I'm thinking that it's something that might be hard coded.

Oh well. Thanks anyhow.

Don't know how to put this. Default gallery app?

When we click photos using our camera and click the pick icon it opens Google Photos. Is there any way to change it? To open that pic in other gallery?

You can try to go into the "app info" screen for the Photo's app and doing a "Clear Default".
But I'm thinking that Google might have hard coded the link to their own photo's app from within the camera app, so if the above setting doesn't fix it, then I don't think anything can.

Yeah the ''clear default' is greyed out. So maybe yes its hard coded :/

The camera preview doesn't actually take you to another app.
It might leverage code from another app or it might just look like it does.
You probably can't change it without changing the camera app itself.
I think this has been the case for all Android phones I've had.

Is it an option for you to disable the Google photos app?
I think when I did that on my last phone it just didn't do camera previews but the gallery app I had still worked.
