Does anyone know why the google camera apk (7.1 arm) on apkmirror and other sites force close on 7.1 aosp roms? Is there any way to get it to work?

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+

Is it possible to get this Google Camera 4.2 mod like they have for the 5x?
As the version that was flowing around was arm64, most likely no, until Google themselves release an arm version.
Salutes, I am using a D821 but I was wondering about the opposite of what most people want: where can I find genuine AOSP apps without compiling them? By this I mean AOSP Camera, SMS etc. I want that genuine aosp code, not google play store variants.
I've been looking for them (especially Browser and Camera) but I only found SMS (the green vanilla marshmallow one) in a remote thread for a oneplus.
Do you know any sources to find them WITHOUT compiling them? (I don't care what if flashable or apk-installable or release, just to be 5.0+ so they have material design)

It's a rather loaded question you're asking....
Google has abandoned many (probably all) of the AOSP apps; they haven't been updated for years, and Google has changed many APIs in that intervening time. Many of those apps don't work correctly, or have random crashes, or certain functions won't work without an FC. Every release or update breaks more of these old apps, and the situation will only continue to get worse. Your only hope of getting a working version of these apps is to find a developer who picked-up the torch and has the app on the Play Store or F-Droid.
I appreciate that you'd like to keep these old apps alive, but the best way to keep them going is supporting the open source authors who have devoted much time and effort into fixing and modernizing these apps. They are fixing bugs, and your using the app and giving feedback will keep things running longer. If you don't like the Play Store, APKs for all can be downloaded from F-Droid.
You can always pull what's still working from my N5 ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-almostvanillaaosp-t3477224
The following apps are in my ROM:
Calculator
Camera2
Contacts
Desktop Clock
Dialer
Gallery
Music
Keyboard
Launcher3
Messaging
PicoTTS
QuickSearchBox
In post #1 of my thread I have a link to suggested FOSS apps that serve as excellent replacements. I'll give a quick rundown:
AOSP Calculator -> Works. I like MathDroid
AOSP Calendar -> Broken. Use Etar (based-on AOSP Calendar)
AOSP DesktopClock -> Has some broken parts (try clicking on the globe). Clock+ has everything but the widget.
AOSP Dialer -> Works
AOSP Email -> Broken. Use K9 Mail
AOSP Music -> Broken under Nougat, limited features otherwise. Use VLC or Vanilla Music
AOSP Browser/Browser2 -> Broken. Use Lightning Browser, Chromium, or Firefox
AOSP Camera2 -> Works (I prefer Open Camera, as it's modern with newer features)
AOSP Contacts -> Works
AOSP Gallery -> Works. Simple Gallery is based-on the AOSP code, and it's very current.
AOSP Keyboard -> Has some broken parts (mainly trying to activate swipe). I prefer AnySoft Keyboard
AOSP Launcher3 -> Works
AOSP Messaging -> Works. QK SMS is a fine update based-on the AOSP code
AOSP PicoTts -> Works
AOSP QuickSearchBox -> Sorta works, but I find a shortcut on my Launcher screen more reliable.
AOSP Exchange2 -> Broken with AOSP Email. Again, K9 Mail
EDIT: The developer at this link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=9070296388022589266
is doing exactly what you're talking about; he's reviving the old AOSP apps. Here's his list of updated AOSP apps:
Calendar, Music Player, Camera, Calculator
All are available via F-Droid as well.

Hello,
I recently flashed Android Oreo on my OnePlus One (LineageOS 15) and I noticed that the gallery built-in app looks like the Android 5 one. It really lacks in design which surprised me. I installed open gapps and everything and just wanted to ask if the built-in gallery app is supposed to be Google Photos for ANdroid 8? I really don't like the layout of Google Photos and to be honest the built-in gallery is extremely fast. I tried different gallery apps like Simple Gallery or Piktures which have stunning design and layout but still... built-in gallery is super fast at loading photos.. Yes, even faster than Google Photos.
If I am missing something can you please link me to an apk of the Android Oreo gallery? If what I have now is the actual gallery.. well shame on you android 8.. there is literally no design to it.. it's like the only app that feels like has been left behind.. Phone, contacts, messages and all the rest of built-in apps have an updated material-design and all... except the gallery.
Thanks
You have to flash OpenGapps Stock version to get gallery replaced by Google Photos app.

I don't want to have Google Photos to replace the built-in gallery. I don't like Google Photos cos built-in gallery is better and faster.. just lacks in design and I was wondering if it is the correct gallery and just stayed outdated..
Is google photos supposed to replace it? Is that why they don't update it anymore?
Which rom did you flash give me a link
Hello devs,
I have become such a big fan of OOS Stock dialer & People app. While People app can be found in Play Store, Dialer isn't. Can anyone please or is it even possible to import this app for other roms specially LOS based ones. Thanks.
Why don't you just install the apk?
