when taking a picture don't just press the blue shot button. You need to touch the screen to focus in before you press the blue shot button or it will freeze and you will need to reboot before the camera is usable again.

Thank you! I don't think I am experiencing the freezing due to that (using [ROM][UVDLJA][4.1.1]~Frosty Jellybean v11.3.2~[1.12.2013]), but will report back. :cowboy:

Anyway I can change where the pictures are stored after being taken to go to the external Sd card instead of internal?

Wait just had a crazy thought. Is it even possible, since this was originally for the nexus, and that doesn't have a expandable memory?

You can also hold the blue shot button until focused then release it to take the picture.

What does the storage location toggle do in settings?

The options are on/off?

It doesn't change the storage location as far as i'm concerned.

Is it normal that hard shortcuts don't work? Like the power button to take a photo, and volume buttons for zoom?
BTW, otherwise it works amazing on my SGS3, though the resolution is a bit lacking imo...

Yes, it is normal. I imagine someone has created a work-around if you want to use the hard-buttons. As for resolution, the default is 720, so you need to change it to 1080 if that's what you desire....

I meant the resolution for the Photosphere... you can only pinch zoom only once or so until you see pixels.

    Firstly, this zip is only available for Galaxy Nexus phones that are rooted. All others need not apply. Sorry. If you’re packing a rooted G-Nex with a custom recovery installed, follow the instructions below. Also, some people are reporting bugs with Photo Sphere – mine worked fine, but just know that there are issues for some.

    This also works for the SGS3, but you have to be running the latest in CM10 builds, or in my case Liquid Jelly Bean RC7

    Instructions:

    1. Download the 4.2Camera.zip - Mirror file.
    2. Place the zip file on the root of your phone’s storage.
    Optional: Rename Gallery2.apk to something like Gallery2.apk.bak, or you'll have two Camera apps
    3. Reboot into your recovery.
    4. Just in case, make a backup.
    5. Flash the 4.2Camera.zip file. (No need to wipe anything)
    6. Once installed, reboot your phone.
    7. Lastly, enjoy it!

    Update: Photo Effects Now Work! (11/1/12)

    Still looking into the locking up the camera when using autofocus. Until then peeps manually focus before hitting the button to take the shot.


    *Don't like the 4.2 Camera? Well.....Revert back by flashing this StockCM-Cam Package!

    Thanks to elesbb and defcomg we now have the Nexus 4 camera that works on any device....given it's up-to-date enough to work!

    This one works perfectly on the T-mobile Galaxy s3 on the cm10.1 2/19 nightly only thing is you lose the enhancements made by CM to the camera..... But autofocus works/flash/photosphere gallery doesn't crash like before is perfect in my opinion

    Sent from my SGH-T990 using xda premium

    Yeah it's working ok...still needs the Android 4.2 framework to get the best out of it, but it's functioning....I was just testing it....

    What "regular camera function"?

    Keep calm and flash on...

    Just do what I said. The fix is to MANUALLY focus. Don't press the blue button first just tap screen to focus then when it focuses hit blue button. The camera will work fine. And pretty sure that is what he meant don't use the camera use video or sphere. If u do what I say everything works. I was getting force closes to until I started manually focusing the camera
