Think I messed up, I backed up both files, replaced camera apk and xml, and apparently the camera didn't working "Unforunutely", so I replaced the old ones back erased odex, chmod 644, wiped cache and dalivk... still not working. What could I be missing to get the old camera working again?

Even I have the same question. If it is possible to Mod and increase the ISO and shutter speed as it is done with bit rate in video recording, it would be great.
Does this work on marshmallow

Is it possible to mod and increase the shutter speed and ISO in marshmallow camera app? Currently, these are restricted to 10 seconds and 800 respectively.

i don't know why the model number is different then
which of the two attachments do I have to use?
G920f

The rom you are using is based on a g925 (s6 edge) so it display g925 as model name but your phone will always be a G920f as you can see in your baseband version
