Remove Camera App and Use SnapPhoto by adb?

What i was thinking if we could remove the camera app and replace it with Snapphoto to make it the default camera?
Please tell me if this is possible and if the button for the camera on the side of the phone if we can make it be used to activate the SnapPhoto App?
Thanks

If i had to guess yes you can.
Since Snap gives you the option to be set as default.
MOD EDIT: removed instructions
Might wanna wait till someone with more expertise confirms or directs you to correction.

Would you still be able to update SnapPhoto from the Market if you did this?

thanx for the adb code
im going to try it out right now

ok it works find i just made a mistake.
Thanks mikey1022!!

Yeah just like normal

Found a problem.
i made SnapPhoto to the default camera, but when im going to attach to a message and i choose camera and i get unexpected error
any solution?

I remember reading somewhere on the forum if you delete the camera.apk, you wouldn't be able to change your wallpaper & you might lose your pictures app. Are you still able to change the wallpaper & browse your pics?

Sounds like you need to place Camera.apk back in

the Camera app is built in and can not be removed without consequence.
It controls more than just the camera
is there a reason you want to replace it? you can have both at the same time.

I would have to guess....space

Ill go back so dum of me but i didnt back up the apk. so should I just reflash my current blue star 5 theme?

ALWAYS BACKUP EVERYTHING...fyi

If you need I will upload both the apk and odex

why delete the original camera software? just set SnapPhoto as the default camera and it will open when you press the shutter button.
Menu > Settings > Set as default camera
works fine

neoobs, hey my pictures app went away so if you could upload that for me would that include the pictures app with the camera app or could you upload those both please!!!!!

We know that.....why? unless he tells use, we can guess.
It happend, its over, hopefully he learned something out of this
BACKUP.
Plus that/this is also how he/myself learn also.
Taking the easy road at times isn't always fun. Take what this forum is all about. Taking things to their limits one way or another.

If you swipe the right side of the screen towards the left it shows the pics in your gallery in a slide show like carousel. You can go back and fourth instantly. Pretty cool.
Also when u hit the video button it starts recording instantly instead of having to switch to video and then hit record.
If anyone finds any other features please post them.

i tried to load this on alliance...is it not compatible with that? or am i not seeing exactly what this is for?

Doesn't work for me either. I'm on wicked sensations 4.3. I installed apk and push to system. Doesn't work either way.

I thought there were supposed to be options for setting the ISO, shutter speed and aperture? Is that hardware dependent of the One?

I have those settings but Im not sure if they work since I never mess with them. I know HDR mode isnt available for us.

Camera is great! But for some reason I can't seem to get video recording to work. Anyone?

Thats weird! Mine works fine and I can take pics while recording. Did u install as a regular app or push to system /app? This is the first time Ive heard of someone having issues with this and ive been all over XDA trying to keep track of this app in many different forums. Maybe a bad download?

I installed it as an app. Perhaps I'll remove it and push it as a system app and see if that works. Thanks for the suggestion. I see that you're running paranoid. I'm running cm11,so it should work if it works for you... I'll report back.

CameraMOD

Modded Camera Hal Lib to remove Motorola capability limitation.
With this lib dng raw capture is enabled
Copy it to System/lib/hw/ set permission rw-r-r
Install the newest freedcam build from here

Does it have the green tint and camera crashing (in apps besides freed) problem that Bobby's mod did?

Nope this is different It uses camera1 api so regular apps work and no camera 2 bug. No reported bugs by the tester so far.

Doesn't work on ROMs from what it seems. I tired it on RR and Orion and resulted in a bootloop

Upload the camera.msm8992.so from those roms if its aosp/ cm based the file might be named camera.vendor or vendor.camera

the only thing i see is a liboemcamera.so . i'll upload it maybe this is it
nothing in my file search is picking up any vendor.camera or camera.vendor
View attachment liboemcamera.so.zip
This is coming from the TURBO ROM btw. idk if there's any difference. sorry im not good at this lol

Sorry the correct path is /system/lib/hw/ try the lib from OP my bad

This is the one that goes to /system/vendor/lib/ this is supposed to increase maximum exposure time in manual mode to 60sec.
Can probably mod it to add 60fps 1080p recording

Works wonders ! thank you

Cool App!

You mean manual iso the one you adjust via slider or the other one to the left of the ui?
For Exposure you mean exposure compensation or manual shutter speed ?.
It should be noted the regular iso does not update via live preview unless zsl is activated why I don't know it's a Qualcomm thing .

Updates:
I tried Oneplus 8 Camera/Lib by replacing the ones in system/priv app using FXexplorer and rebooted. Only Video, Panorama, and Pro Mode works by long pressing icon on homescreen. Filters is only noticeable new feature in video and camera mode.
Gallery 3.10.5 Does Work with no issues I have found as of yet!

Testing some. Camera apk will make your camera broken.
Phone and contacts can't be installed.
Looks like only gallery works.

Long press the camera and open the pro mode or Video mode. They are the only mode that works for me, anything than that will crash.

It'd be glad if someone who tests all apps could give a feedback which apps improved.

Anyone have any luck getting new launcher with Google feed working?

Yes, but look like that make no difference, you need com.oneplus.camera.pictureprocessing installed and give the camera permission. I did pull files from the firmware by myself I have also installed others but that's the file that make difference.

Yeah my mistake, I thought the new camera had installed but it was the original form the latest stable. I installed new one and like you said can only access the few modes mentioned by you by long press. Since the Oneplus 8 has that hole punch camera it might be interfering with our pop up camera causing errors! Someone may be able to figure it out!! Nothing new too noteworthy anyway!!

Question Gcam?

Hi.
I have searched and tried many Gcam ports, but they all have one thing in common: the viewfinder freezes after a second or two. Before that freeze you are able to take picture and, as always, I prefer that processing over samsungs. People look like oilpainting with this camera and software, unless it is an ideal lighting.
So maybe people can share working ports here if they found one.
Thanks.

Had the same results.
On a related, but slightly different, note... i've noticed the integrated cameras in things like Signal and Messenger utterly destroy image quality. This leads me to believe the Samsung camera is doing some trickery to make decent images with garbage lenses.

this seems to be working, but can't take picture with front camera, included config by @beserker15
BSG GCam APKs - Google Camera Port
Modified Google Camera app by BSG.
www.celsoazevedo.com

I hope there's gonna appear some more options soon here, cause so far all the offered options freeze the viewfinder after just one second....
And I've never ever seen such bad processing as Samsung's up until now.... they totally destroy the image with their "sharpening" and noise reduction. Like @Finneri already stated: they look like oilpaintings...

Is there a Gcam that works on our Galaxy Z Flip3? I have tried three options and all of them freezes the image...

It freezes

I tried this version, with the Galaxy S21 configuration in XML:
MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1u_snap.apk (org.codeaurora.snapcam) #
Works Ok, but unfortunately there are a lot of options that not present: astrophotography, for example.

I modified the s21 xml file to remove the vignette and improve the HDR and contrast. All features seems to be working.
Edit: fixed manual focus options. Near is now at the shortest focusing distance to aid in macro shots, Infinity is fixed at far distance for landscape and aid in low light/astrophotography photos.

I have installed this one, and it seems to work very well with config file. The config file is essential for proper functioning (otherwise it still freezes): MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1x
Make sure you install the Scan3D or Ruler package, and subsequently install the (S21) ZFlip3 config file by following the instructions here
I still have to test the astro mode on a real night sky, but it seems to do a good job at its long expures

Check out the Orion constellation above our heads...

anyone using newer Gcam 8.4 and have a profile for the Flip 3? thanks

It's unfortunate that the one Moaske posted still seems to have a freezing Viewfinder for me. I did install the config, but it didn't seem to help much. 1-2 seconds the viewfinder works fine and then it freezes
I did try the one from Greatness as well, as people in other places seemed to have some luck with that one, and while it does fix the freezing viewfinder issue for me, it produces super noisy pictures :/
Anyone had any better luck/any hints as to what I could try to hopefully make the BSG one work?

This works for me, and Lib file in the link.
