Hello everyone! Here's a quick "How to install the Android 4.2 Camera" on our beloved O4x.

Prerequisites:

1. Root
2. Root Explorer or similar
3. And knowledge of the Android system. I'm not resposible for braking your device!

Instructions:

1. Download the zip file and extract the files.
2. Open the extracted file and copy the 2 apk (GalleryGoogle.apk & GmsCore.apk) from the System>App folder and paste them to your System>app
3. Grab the 3 libs from the libs folder and paste them into System>lib
4. Reboot and Enjoy your new AOSP Camera w/ PhotoShpere!
5. Don't forget to hit the thanks button if you liked this "How To" :good:

Panorama is taken at Full 8MP! :highfive:

Known bugs:

PhotoSphere FC's when trying to take it
Edit option FC's the app completely

Thx for your effort :)

But it seems that it doesn't work right on the One X.. seems like it's conflicting with the g-sensor, it's going nuts in photosphere eventually after taking 2 pictures, furthermore vibrating hardware buttons don't work anymore (it's greyed out in the settings menu after flashing this app).

And the gallery keeps crashing after finishing my panorama.

Though i will keep track of this thread and i want to thank you again for making it possible, even if it doesn't work right now on the One X with Sense.

Thank you and Sorry to hear that. Although i do think that Sense is what causing it to go nuts. But im not sure.

Thanks. Nice camera and galery. But doesn't work properly, unfortunately. Again the Galery is amazing. The camera seens to be better than the ICS one, but is not working nicely. Thanks for your effort.

Photo Sphere crashes on second photo. Any way to solve it?

Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium

Nope, not yet at least. The only problems with this is the photosphere and trying to change the size of the photo.

To do this, after turning on the app, quickly open the photo size option and change the size. If you were to try it a second time, the camera will not allow you to press the option. Bug or not, only way to change is to close and open the camera and press really fast again.

Will try now and edit later.

Edit:
I changed the build props in system.
I wiped dalvic cache.
I tried the photosphere.
It still doesn't work.
So I changed back my build props.
