[Q] CM10.1 camera app

---

HI,

So I am in CM10.1 (latest nightlies). I love the customization options of it compared to GAPPS camera. Though CM10 camera (or OVERALL CM10 system) lags/framedrops occasionally, I still like it because it has customization unlike stock camera app.

But I also want to install GAPPS on my device. The problem is once I flash GAPPS, the camera app of CM10 is overwritten.
I tried using Titanium back up prior flashing GAPPS. Since I can't find the camera/gallery app, I just backed up all system apps. Then I flashed gapps. After flashing, I used titanium again to restore all system apps. I restarted the phone, but the cm10 camera app isnt restored.

Is there another way to this? Like selective gapps installation(i have the flashable zip)?

Thanks!

You could use 7-zip to delete the gallery.apk in system/media in your zip.

It didn't work.
I checked the gapps package, the apk (gallerygoogle.apk) is NOT in the system/app folder.
It is in optional/photosphere/mako/app.
I believe the package is signed. When I removed gallerygoogle.apk from the mako/app folder, then flashed it, no GAPPS were installed. Not just to camera app, but literally no gapps at all.

Edit the install-optional.sh script in the G-Apps package to remove reference to photosphere, use wordpad++ to edit it.
This is the part you want to delete

if (grep -qi "mako" /proc/cpuinfo ); then
  echo "Installing Mako-specific google bits"
  rm -f /system/app/Gallery2.apk
  cp -a /tmp/photosphere/mako/* /system/
  cp -a /tmp/photosphere/lib/* /system/lib/
  chmod 755 /system/addon.d/73-gapps-mako.sh
fi

if (grep -qi "tuna" /proc/cpuinfo ); then
  echo "Installing Tuna-specific google bits"
  rm -f /system/app/Gallery2.apk
  cp -a /tmp/photosphere/tuna/* /system/
  cp -a /tmp/photosphere/lib/* /system/lib/
  chmod 755 /system/addon.d/74-gapps-tuna.sh
fi

if (grep -qi "manta" /proc/cpuinfo ); then
  echo "Installing Manta-specific google bits"
  rm -f /system/app/Gallery2.apk
  cp -a /tmp/photosphere/manta/* /system/
  cp -a /tmp/photosphere/lib/* /system/lib/
  chmod 755 /system/addon.d/75-gapps-manta.sh
fi
