I've seen posts like this for various projects of other devices so I figured I would give it a shot here.

If someone can get the Touchwiz camera apk (with the necessary touchwiz framework files) working on CM10 or AOSP, I will give them $20. The camera apk is literally the one thing preventing me from switching to CM10 or other AOSP/AOKP roms.

Everyone else is free to pitch in as well. Together, perhaps we can raise a worthwile & tempting bounty to encourage a skilled developer to get this working. If no one can do it, then we're not losing any money. If someone can pull it off, then it will be worth every penny. The Galaxy S II camera was ported to AOSP on the Fascinate so I believe this could be possible with the GS3.


Current bounty: $20.00

Put me down for another 20 US dollars, the stock Samsung camera is why I always go back to a TW ROM, but I would love to use AOKP.

Its probably possible to do but very very difficult as it needs tw framework. As anything is possible on android put me down for $20 as well. Stock cm/aokp camera is good and could never steer me away from cm/aokp roms but sammy cam would be an awesome addition!

For people wanting a similar camera to touch whiz in cm/AOKP.. procapture is pretty similar.

Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
But it looks like procapture does not allow video. My note 2 has the ability to pause and resume recordings without creating a separate file which is really nice and useful for me. Plus the fast/slow motion video to make some humorous/interesting recordings...
Would love a tw independent stock camera like app though...I guess I'll keep looking

it is very nice, like above poster said, no video :crying: but it was pretty close to the TW camera in terms of use and feel.

You will NOT believe this, but for months now I have been wanting to write a similar post like you did.
If not for the Touchwiz Camera and Gallery I would have switched to AOSP/AOPK/CM10 a long time ago too :)

The Touchwiz camera and Gallery are so much nicer, and have a lot more features and options and look
so much more professional the differences are like day and night!

One of the main selling points of our S3 phone is the excellent camera and gallery app!!!
Everytime I try AOSP/AOKP/CM10 the camera and gallery looks as if they are a home made BETA or a downgrade!!!

Good luck in your endeavor!!!

(I have been told it cannot be done but I don't believe it. :) )

well after his post I went to check his profile and looks he gets stumped with easy problems, so I doubt he has the skills needed

there is a video from a past android bbq where steve kondik (cyanogen) makes a presentation about cyanogenmod. You can find it somewhere on the internet. I advise you watch that to learn why the TW camera isn't functional with aosp.

If you want to learn to code, then you can check out the project called cornerstone, which is an open source multiview that was created for ics
