How to port Sony Camera App to Stock based ROM's? - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers

Hello all!
There are a number of custom ROMs here in the forum which feature the Sony stock camera app - The next best thing to the GCAM which does not run well on the XZ Premium. Can anyone shed some light on how it can be done to port the Sony camera app to, for example Carbon ROM?
Is it just a matter of copying the right files into the right locations, or is the whole topic more complex? Information to get me going on this would be much appreciated.:good::good:

[Completed] A beginner is need of help!

I am new to installing new roms on phones and I am wondering when you install a new rom for example on a sony z3 or samsung note 4 does it affect the great camera performances of the phones since the companies have their own ways of camera processing? I really need the feedback before I start installing new roms Thanks everybody
Hi there,
Those issues mainly depends on the developers of the roms you are flashing!
If you're installing a stock based rom, then your camera should be fine! But if you're flashing an CM/AOSP based rom, your camera might have glitches here and there.
About what device are you talking about?
Thanks

Cyanogenmod 12.1 and Galaxy i9100 (intl)

Hi everyone,
New in town and wanted to ask some questions .
I'm thinking of updating my i9100 with the latest snapshot (stable as it goes) of cm 12.1 from the cyanogenmod guys.
1. Is there anyone that can guide me through any known issues/bugs related to this version of cm and this specific device?
2. Secondly, i looked through the internet and most people say that the only negative about this rom is the camera app (google camera i presume...). They say that the quality of the pictures is far less than the samsung stock camera. Is this true? And if yes, is there not a possibility to install another camera app (point me to one if you please) in the cm rom instead of using the cm google camera? Or maybe you could point me to the exact stock samsung camera app of 4.1.2 that i currently own and install it after the update...?
Thanks in advance. Looking forward for your answers.

1. for questions like this, it is best to post in your device specific q&a forum. everyone there will have your device, so questions will usually be answered more quickly. look at the top of the page, there is a device search box to help you find your device forum.
2. yes the google cam is not as good as stock, but its not horrible either. i use it all the time on my nexus.
there are many camera apps on the play store, and someone in your forum may have a better idea of what ones work best with your device, but no, you cant put the stock cam on cm, it wont work. this a a fairly common downside of custom roms, certain stock things or apps (varies by device) just arent possible to merge into the custom software at this time, and may never be.
Thank you very much for your help. You're quite right about the device "specific" forum.
I will immediately give it a try there.
Thanks again mate.

Just take a look at all the MM Roms for LB and see which has feautures you like. Check the comments a bit too to see what others say and then you'll know. Lots have the features you want and are getting regular updates to improve them. It is hard for someone to suggest a ROM as each is different for our needs and wants.
Alternatively you can root stock ROM and then flash the ported versions of the Xperia X apps like the system UI, lockscreen, sound libs and even camera when it is available. Just check they are for the Z3.
There might be a port of the galaxy apps if you search around. Probably in the cross-device development section near the bottom here. You could even try installing them normally and see if they work, but have a backup if you flash anything!

Official AOSP XZ Premium - camera focus

Hi all,
I saw that this device is on the open projects from Sony and basically you can download and flash the AOSP version from their official site.
My question is if the camera quality is like for the stock one or it get worse like for other ROMs?
Thanks

I need the s10e's stock camera app apk

So, I'm running LineageOS 19.1 and it's stock camera app lacks functionality, and I don't want to use Gcam, I would like to use samsung's stock camera, if someone could provide me with a way to get it, would help me tremendously.

@elJaberJaber I'm curious if the stock camera apk works on Lineage, please report back about it.
You can't use the Samsung stock camera app on an AOSP rom as it lacks the proper framework for the apk to work with , you can only use it in other OneUI based roms .
In the odd chance that I am wrong, I'd love to see it happen.

didn't get to test it out, I'm sorry, I've managed to brick my phone, so I reverted to the original ROM and rooted it to uninstall bloatware.

That's what I thought.
However, for the Sony Xperia Z3 series there was a port of the stock camera app that included the needed parts of the framework to work on AOSP/Lineage based roms.
It would be interesting if this could be possible on the Samsung S10 series too.

Hasn't been done yet, your best bet is to talk to the Dev that made the rom , Linux or Ivan or whoever it was and also with Corsicanu, as he's very well skilled working with Samsung devices and tinkering with it's apps , you can find him in various groups and on telegram as well so give it a shot and ask him a question.
Hi everyone, can i import the framework on a different rom? im using an S22
