worked for me on my Verizon droid turbo with CM13. thanks. I uninstalled the google cam and gallery with an app from the play store first. After flashing these downloaded from here and rebooting twice, I was able to update them in the play store.

Made my own Moto camera apk zip, way simpler then the one from the OP.

It has the update Cameraplus-5.0.11.7.apk + media profile fix for slow + improves on pic and video quality the credits on the zip...

Any chance to make this updatable via Play Store as the one from OP?
I flashed yours but I can't get updates and it would be really cool as I also prefer to keep the original gallery...

you need a file on system... etc/permission/com.motorola.camera.xml

https://github.com/bhb27/android_device_motorola_quark/blob/RR-2/permissions/com.motorola.camera.xml

I add all moto permission on RR so using that you don't need any zip you can install any moto app that works via play and received updates... as the ROM have the proper build.prop config you have access to hidden/advanced camera menu...

add that file to that folder set permission to 0644 and it must work. deleted the apk folder that you install to better support the play app.

Thanks! I've included the file in your zip and added the line to set 0644 in the updater-script for a future use (as when a new cm13 version come out)...
For now I've just copied the file to the location like you suggested.

@Jaocagomez

can you split the zip in two, one just the camera and one just the gallery?

Gallery is bug on CM's, and unnecessarily the camera app can access any default gallery app that the user install.

I already made one just for the camera, but if you can't just let me know with lib files are from the gallery I will split the zip (the rest I know, only need to know the libs) you can post the files to OP I don't care if i did it. And I advice to not put those media/audio some ROM have they on audio files and the user may prefer they audio file.

A Dev fix slow motion for Moto X and it work for Quark so is just time to CM developer add that to a nightly...
what is the gallery bug on CM? Are you referring to the moto gallery? I flashed it to my Verizon turbo CM13 and haven't seen a bug yet. Thanks

dumb question... can I unsintall CM's camera? or do I need to keep both?

I would assume it is safe for me to uninstall CM camera, but, would like confirmation before doing so.
I was able to uninstall the CM 13 camera and gallery with system app remover by jumobile from the play store. Verizon droid turbo. then I flashed the moto camera and gallery and rebooted to trigger the play store to prompt for latest updates.

Is it mandatory to delete the MotoCamera folder in order to download the version from Play? The xlm file is there, permissions are 0644 but I'm still not able to update the app on Play Store.

you are quoting a post from October 30 there is no CM 13 on that date... :eek:

It was some thing related to theme change, I never used it don't recall, is really a old post, you must not quot things that old and expect the problem to persist, or it was fix or not don't know.

try to clean the data of play reboot to see if that works. if not try to clear dalvik and cache too.

changes to permission some times works if you just, make a twrp backup, then clean install wipe system data dalvic cache, then restore the backup, is odd but work to me one time, probably because of the wipes...

I ended up making my own zip, I've decompressed the op's package and removed a few things that I didn't wanted (audio effects and the addon.d script), added the media_profiles from baybutcher's zip and did the proper modifications to the updater-script. Everything went fine and the câmera is fully functional, including slow motion. Also now I can update on play :)

I'll try yours on my CM13 Verizon turbo if you make it available.

Sure, here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2xwvLA6kyxAV2l0V2E3YjR1ejg/view?usp=sharing

Changes:
- Removed addon.d script;
- Removed audio effects files;
- Added media_profiles.xml from baybutcher27 zip;
- Modified updater-script to match the changes (removed unecessary lines and fixed others).

ps.: The update only popped up after I have cleared data on play store and rebooted the device.

Thanks. I flashed this with a backup CM13 rom on my Verizon turbo. Then I removed the camera that came with the rom using a system app uninstaller from the play store. The previous gallery seemed to have removed by the install. The play store prompted for camera update right way and I am now on the latest version. I am having the same minor issues I had after trying the other zip(same rom) at the beginning of this thread:
1)msg for stock music player has stopped occurs after boot and at other times. No issue with google play music.
2)slo mo video doesn't work. no sign of error , it just records normally
3)play store doesn't see the moto gallery app as already installed, so it only shows option to install. However, attempting to install will update me to the latest gallery. The installation process will end with no msg. Works fine.

So, this thread has helped me get the moto cam and gallery on the preview cm13 rom from @skrillax. The camera that comes with that doesn't work on my phone.
Thanks !

The script doesn't remove the cm camera, only the gallery, you can keep both cameras.

1) Known issue... I don't know why it happens, but it's the same on the other zips. As I don't use this app, I've simply disabled it.
2) It worked last time I tried, maybe I should check again
3) Happened to me the first time that I flashed the zip. But on the second time, I did a full wipe and flashed rom, gapps and zip. Right after booting, both updates showed up on play.

In the bootloader use the volume keys to change where it says start to recovery, then press the power button and it'll boot into twrp

I just cant boot into recovery. From developers options also advance reboot-boot into recovery. It just takes me to downloading page. I need your opinion that should i reinstall the stock firmware to resolve this issue? (Via odin) Using Samsung Galaxy Grand 2
