[Port] Stock Jellybean 4.2 Camera and Gallery apps on Gingerbread /ICS

Install JB 4.2 camera and gallery apps on your Gingerbread/ICS rom. This port of Camera app will only work on the advanced Gingerbread 2.3 firmwares and on all the devices which are rooted on ICS 4.0+ firmwares. Download root checker to check if your mobile is rooted. The flashable zip is attached below.
Instructions-
1. Flash the zip via recovery
2. Fix permissions (Incase the gallery gets force closed).
Bugs-
Photosphere not yet working.

Confused.
The 4.2 Can/Gallery has always worked on ICS. Its been buggy but its always worked. Currently we have working Photosphere with certain flashable zips.
So my question is, what separated this mod from all the others? Is it a true port? If so ..why is photosphere not working? Current 4.2 cam/gallery I use has working photosphere but has other bugs. So I'm just confused about what this file you posted is?
EDIT:
Checked your zip. Seems your missing the Gmscore.apk that makes the photosphere work. Also missing a lib file that other versions have.

Hi, I just shared the information regarding this port. I did not develop it. I have been using this camera app for 2 days now and it is bug free. Except for the photosphere every other feature is intact i guess. Could you attach your version with the working photosphere here. I want to check it out.

I could upload it however, there are multiple versions posted. Look in Themes and Apps for the 4.2 Transformation Pack...or check out the dev section for the latest v2.3 of it where its been editted to have higher quality pics. Check these zips, you'll find the GmsCore.apk which allows photosphere to work. Talk to the other devs if you're interested in helping.

Yup sure. I will take a look at it. Thanks

This zip file is missing two essential files, "libjni_filtershow_filters.so" which is required to edit photos. And the gsmcore.apk. This work the same as the regular 4.2 camera patch, but doesn't work on my Gingerbread device though.
Just use the patch made by Garner:

Help me install 4.2 camara .

so, i found a flashable zip of 4.2 camara and when i flashed it replaced the stock 4.1 camera with 4.2 camera..
but now, i want 4.2 camera without replacing 4.1 camera .. i want both the camera ..
how shall i do that ??
plz help me .. I am new here and this is my first post.

I'm not sure you can do that. If ever you do manage to retain both apk in your system app, you're going to have force closes all over the place. I suggest you just make up your mind on which camera to use.

i manged to have both apk files in system/app folder without renaming any of the apk.
however, if both apk is there then my android simply ignores 4.1 camera and only 4.2 camera shows up in app menu.
i have seen people having both the camera app working in some youtube videos and thats what i want !
i found some bug in 4.2 camera , i am not able to touch focus and pinch to zoom in 4.2 camera .. thats why i want another alternative
and its good to have photosphere for some occasion.

greenblue's rom has both camera apps if you flash that camera mod. I removed the original one manually so that I only have the one that works with sphere.
why do you want both? What's the original one have that the modded one doesn't?

You CAN have both cameras, but only if your older Gallery in system/app is by default named "Gallery2". Than you flash 4.2 camera and you will have both cameras working. Make sure your ROM and/or gapps you are flashing has "gallery2" in system/app.

Zoom is impossible. You can zoom only with some 3rd party apps. And touch to focus libs are not yet made/optimised for our device, so, we have to wait.

Flash CM10 stable, which has gallery2.apk. Then flash the 4.2 camera zip from this thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35018025&postcount=571 -- and you'll have two cameras.
Whether they both work is a different question, however ....

Android 4.4.1 PhotoSphere Camera 13MP+10MP Wide

I thought I would share my findings of this flashable zip for the 4.4.1 PhotoSphere camera. I'm currently using it on CM11 official nightly without issue. Although you cannot go past 8mp in the options. I'm hoping someone out there might be able to take this and get 13mp working? My friend flashed this same zip on his SGS4 and has 13mp option.
Update: Thanks to ChikeD we now have working 13mp Photosphere camera!
Update 2: 10MP Wide option added.
Flash the Android 4.4.1 Camera Zip then the camera patch by ChikeD
Android 4.4.1 Camera Zip
13MP+10MP Wide+TinyPlanet Camera Patch
Mirror:Camera Patch

Thanks for the share.I can only see 8 mp, same as you.
But i can't also see HDR option? Did I missed something?
LG P 350=>LG OPTIMUS 3D=>LG NEXUS 4=>LG G2

@bb12489
What is the image dimention(X/Y pixels) of 13MP of your camera?
And if you don't mind sharing where you have found it at?

I'll have to look back in my history now. I found it in a random thread here on XDA. Someone else linked to it like I did. I'll see if I can dig it up. My 13mp resolution is 4160x3120

Camera support 4128x3096 13MP, yours a bit higher, not too complicated to MOD, however apktool threw some warnings so I don't know if it's going to work or not..
It's a matter of curtest to mention who you get it from and who is the OP to share/MOD.

Here is where I was linked to
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=9199
The original poster of this link was not the creator. He was just responding to a question about photosphere camera's in another thread and said he used the one from that link. I definitely give full credit to the creator of these zips though! I was just thinking that since it's an unmodified Google Camera apk that anyone could have at it to try and mod.

Thanks,
If you feel frisky you may try and flash this mod, I haven't tested it, so you take your chances or not.
You know the drill, I'm not resposnsible bricked devices , data loss etc.
EDIT: reuploaded with renamed apk. Sorry about that.
Note this zip is only a patch for the original zip, photosphere will crash if installed by itself.
Flash origininal and then this patch(no need to reboot between).

Nah, just added 2 lines resources + one fix for build. You can add the link to it too.
I don't think the sphare is effected just the camera.
I only use it for the sphares which is awesome, and Sony's camera for photos, isn't he G2 cam better for photos?
I'm adding more options, to have 2MP 16:9 and 6MP 16:9 for Xperia P, and include the libs inside so it can be installed as normal app.
I have the scene option mixed up(I have 3 option only), that was the case with Google Camera for 4.3 too, is it the same on the G2?
Also, Camera version is 2.0.001 (893803-30) and Gallery version is. 1.1.40304, is that different for the original 4.4 cam?

Maybe cache need to be cleared, I'm not familiar with ART.
EDIT: Did you flash the original before? I did not include the libraries in the zip.

I might have made a terrible mistake. Tpp many cam mods LOL.
What version of app you you see?
App name should also be GoogleCamera.apk, rename it in zip
---------- Post added at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------
For all those who have tried the patch, I messed up, sorry.
I may have ovveride the wronk app (Camera.apk) and should have been GoogleCamera.apk.
Delete Camera.apk and restore the original (if there was one) and flash the new file instead.
Again, sorry if I caused trouble.

I had a crash clicking TinyPlanet on camera.
Added libjni_tinyplanet.so from http://storagecow.eu/Xda/Nexus 5/System Dump/lib/ and it works.
Added to the patch, reuploaded and updated links.

So just checking in.. Dis you guys get fully working 4.4.1 GoogleCamera.apk with working 13MP support for our G2s?
if so, what do I download?

OP updated with ChikeD's camera patch!

[REQUEST][NEXUS5] CM11''s Camera App

Hi I am looking for a flashable zip or apk file of the Camera app present in the CM 11.
I use a Nexus 5 and now I am on stock but I remember that in the CM11 there was a modded version of the stock camera because it has got the function "color effect" for example.
I tried to extract the apk file of the googlecamera from the last nightly zip of CM11 but it doesn't work on stock.. it goes on FC.
I really miss the function to add realtime filters (mono, sepia etc) on photos or videos so I hope that someone could help me! :fingers-crossed:
