[APP][MOD][AOSP] 4.2 Camera & AOSP Camera mod

droidstyle · Dec 17, 2012

First off this is not my work! See thread HERE for download! I simply downloaded and tested it running ParanoidAndroid 2.5x. It should work on any AOSP/CM10 rom.

Instructions:

1. Download the 4.2Camera.zip.

2. Place the zip file on the root of your phone’s storage.

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.

*Optional: Rename Gallery2.apk to something like Gallery2.apk.bak, or you'll have two Camera apps.

*You can revert back to stock camera by removing .bak from the gallery 2.apk and deleting galaxy4.apk

*Photosphere is not working yet.

Here is another camera for AOSP/CM10 based roms. It is basically a mod for the stock CM camera...it incorporates mores features similar to touchwiz such as the ability to save pics to ext. sd and burst shot. I tested it on the GN2 and it works perfect even tho its says for S3.

a little off topic, but have you or anyone tried bootmannager on the gn2?

edit>never mind, i did a litle research and it is not compatible with our phone

so, why wont this work on touchwiz? Only asking becuause I flashed the same 4.2 camara zip I used on my gnex on my buddys tmobile note 2 and it worked fine and so did panorama mode. I haven't tried it on my phone yet, just because I kind of forgot about it and the only reason would be panorama mode which is more of a gimmick than a need. The stock touchwiz camara is pretty sweet.

Also on the aosp 4.2 camara I had problems with all my pictures being blurry. I had to manually tap the screen to focus and or take 2 pics in rapic succession to get a clear one and then delete the blurry one. pita.

Thanks. I can test it out if you think its worth it.

the framework is normally different between touchwiz and aosp apps..but it might. make a nandroid flash it and report back!

Is it possible to make the default save location for photos the Sd card instead of internal memory? I didn't see it in the settings.

on the aosp mod it is but not the 4.2 cam. go into camera settings and scroll to the bottom.

to be honest, the only thing holding me back from flashing aosp roms are not wanting to lose the external sd card backup i have on twrp and gps issues, although i don't want to lose s pen really so it would be just to check it out. I am also not confident that once I flash cwm I will be able to go back to twrp easily.

why? you just flash twrp back over cwm...its no biggie.

Sorry, I didnt respond sooner. I flashed it and everything works fine exept for flash. If I have flash turned on it freezes and force closes. But photosphere works fine. Im not experienced enough to diagnose what is making the flash mess things up. Btw. Flash does turn on and stay on for about 5 seconds before it does a normal flash and fc's the app. Just to be clear for anyone reading this I am talking about the 4.2 camera that I already had from my galaxy nexus and not the one from this thread.

http://db.tt/GMD9WQKw here is a dropbox link to the file. Its not my work. I will try to figure out where I got it so i can give credit.

Tried to figure out where i got it (think it was android police) and the file seems to be available everywhere. Cant seem to pin it down and I dont see credit given on any of the posts or download links. So please forgive me. I tried.

the camera app in this thread is for aosp roms not touchwiz...your in the wrong thread.

Ok sry. I thought you said to flash it and report back. My bad. Do you want me to delete my post?

That is what I run. So yes. It works. I have had issues if I have flash turned on. I suggest using the stock camera if you need flash and using aosp if u want to play with photosphere.

The op is for concerning aosp roms. The last poster asked about beans touchwiz rom. The link I provided in a above post works for me on beans rom and has working photosphere. I cant comment on anything else exept that.
