I currently have HTC Desire 816G Dual SIM. I just purchased it, haven't rooted it yet. The big problem I have with its pre-installed camera app is that it only has half the options the regular HTCs have. Most importantly it doesn't have a slow motion capture video mode, which is necessary for me.

Will I be able to use this camera app to an un-rooted device?

Yes you can use to an un-rooted device… just it need custom recovery, BUT I didn't test it on Htc desire 816G…… .so I can't say if will work perfectly……..
Thank you for the reply. Sorry, but how I do this? I am a newbie here, so I don't know so much. I downloaded the zip file on my PC, unzipped the content and sent it to my phone. But the file containing the camera.apk was not able to be installed. I am sure I am doing something wrong! Could you please be so kind as to tell me how to properly install it? Thanks again

You need to be unlocked and running a custom recovery to install this...

However if your still on stock, then why do you need the stock camera app?

Because the stock camera app of Desire 816 G is different from 816(with no G!). It has almost half the adjustments and the capabilities of the other. I don't know why they did that, but unfortunately it's true. And I am missing a specific thing, the ability to record in slow motion. It seems to be absent on my 816G. Of course there are 3rd party apps, but I'd like to use HTC's original if I could.

The ability to record in slow motion is not something you can do on your 816G. It's not because of the app, it's because the camera on the 816G just can't record at higher FPS.

Anyways, to flash this zip, you need to be rooted and running a custom recovery, there is a guide to that here on XDA.

816 does have a slow motion capture mode and while 816G has the same camera ,it only makes sense that it is a matter of software. Thank you for your reply and the info tho,much appreciated. I will root it after all and see if a custom Rom fits better to my needs.

It isn't quite true. Camera is controlled by the chipset and these models have quite different chipsets

Will this camera work on single sim, and is it work only with stock gallery is it included in the zip, cause I don't like HTC gallery, I prefer another! And what do I have to do? To flash it only, or to wipe data and reflaah the ROM and the gapps again, cause the cm camera is included in the package which I m using?
Thx and cheers for everything!
