Is it possible to have the MIUI camera app in the CM7 nightlies ? It is way better than the stock crappy android camera. Thanks in advance.
MIUI is based on cm7. So it should be. Extract the camera.apk from miui-rom.zip in /system/app and install it.
I tried it but it cannot be installed this way. Any other options ? I also tried manually pasting tha apk in the system/app, setting the permisions and rebooting, but even though it appears in the drawer, it gives FC.

Why can't you install it?
It does not work that way. Missing some framework files from the MIUI Rom.
But Honestly - where did you see that MIUI camera is better?
I'm using MIUI Rom, with Android Camera, because the video recording on the MIUI camera is piss-poor quality. Photos are almost the same. no big differrence.
Anyways, the latest working I found is v17 from 1.4.22:

****ALL CREDIT GOES TO CM, IT IS COMPILED THIS FROM THEIR SOURCE****
This is the stock AOSP Camera, except it it has an option to used the Power Key as the Shutter Button in the settings. Tested so far on AOKP, Apex, CM9 Beta, and Liquid. Place apk in /system/app and set appropriate permissions.
can you elaborate where is the modify that i want to do the same but on THIS CAMERA not stock?thanks in advance...
Sorry guys but there is a framework change to make it work so just using this camera will not work. it works on those rom's because they already have a camera app in the rom that does this. there are 2 changes 1 in camera and 1 in framework. so unless the rom has it in framework this wont work. Like on stock rooted this wont work.
I know that the Camera and Gallery are lumped into one APK on JB, but I just did a clean install of CM10 and the latest Gapps and my gallery works and I have no Camera Icon anywhere (including the app drawer). If I try to hit the camera icon from the lock screen, it just bounces back like there's nothing there.
What - The - Hell?

Sounds like camera apk is just missing. Extract stock Rom, move camera apk to system/apps/ reboot. You should be good to go

I tried that. It just FC's.
I think cm didn't include it yet.. I'm sorry. What you can do for time being is download this party application..

All fixed. Here's what I'm pretty sure happened. After I wiped CM10 and did a fresh install of the latest nightly, I accidentally installed an old set of gapps. This placed the old gallery under /system/app. When I flashed the newest set of gapps, the new gallery (that includes the camera) didn't get copied over. I deleted the old gallery and replaced it with the new, rebooted, and there it was.:good:

Oh, ok. Just glad that it works now!

Hey, after flashing few ROM I saw that not all of them have the CM camera app (with the advanced settings, specially the Power shutter feature).
I tried adding it manually to AOSPA (removed old GoogleGallery.apk and moved Gallery2.apk to system/app),
but I didn't worked out (Gallery worked, Camera FC).
Is there a solution for this?
Update - on vanilla rootbox it worked. Maybe I did something wrong on PA..
(or it just not supported on PA?)
SOLVED!
SlimRom's Gallery2.apk is working!!!!

Thanks sarkar1990!
There is a flashable zip somewhere on xda I will post a link if I can find it again
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
And it works on every ROM?
Umm.. Anyone know what files are related to the camera app?
Maybe I'll replace them with the files from CM.
...?
No one knows?
Should I ask on another forum?
I want to have the same camera
I'm also using Vanilla Rootbox (4.0) and I still have the stock camera with stock options - has anybody an idea on how to fix this?
On rootbox I think you can just download the gallery2.apk (download CM and only unzip this app, system>app).
Then remove (or move) old gallery (GoogleGallery.apk).
Move gallery2.apk, change permissions (like other system apps) and restart.
If you can't move it, you need to mount you system partition (r/w), search Google (it's simple).
What I think problem with aospa is that it's missing libraries because it's mostly stock.

It works perfectly - thanks a lot. In case anybody out there is as new to it as I am: Use ES Explorer and use it's Root Explorer - it's as simple as this
That's exactly what I used to install CMFileManager
Solved!
------------------
Well, it didn't really solved.
When I click on the power button the device lock, not taking a picture.
I guess there is still something missing.
I'm having a real terrible go at this. I somehow removed the original google gallery apk through ES File Explorer and Installed Gallery2.apk but it crashes every time I try to open it.
I have a Sprint Galaxy Nexus running CM10.1 RC3. I know I must be missing a step or something. Help please.
As I said in another thread, I don't know how to solve it. After updating aospa slimroms camera crashes too.
Can someone pull the files for the stock 4.3 TW camera?
Currently using Camera Awesome and Snap Camera HDR but I prefer the stock camera app and it had video stabilization.
I'm with you. Pretty much the main reason I'm currently staying with a 4.3 based Rom. I like having ALL of the features available (slow record, fast record, etc).

Stock camera for galaxy s4 is just so beast..
can we pull the camera APK from a 4.3 Touchwiz ROM and install it on a AOSP or CM rom? The only reason I'm still on Touchwiz is for the camera, but I'd like to use it on a Google Play Edition 4.4 ROM. I believe there's a different Gallery app that must accompany the camera app.
I unzipped a 4.3 ROM and found there's a "cameradata" folder with 8.7mb of files in the systerm folder, which is separate from the "SamsungCamera2" APK. I can try loading an AOSP ROM, installing the APK, and placing the cameradata folder in the system folder. How do I install the APK? Would i need to put in the system/app folder then install via settings? Of course I'd make a Nandroid of my current ROM first.

The short version is simply no.
The long version is...
The issue with the camera in AOSP ROMS is that the stock TouchWiz camera has all kinds of proprietary software driving it. That software is built into different parts of the rom and absolutely requires the TouchWiz framework to run. (Which is also proprietary). You can't just pull the APK out of TouchWiz and install it on AOSP.
So there is no way to get the stock TW camera to run on any AOSP rom.
This means that any other app that is using the camera is using generic software to run the camera hardware. This leaves out the ability to do things that the TW software was specifically written to do like crisp auto focus and color depth and all those goodies that make the TW camera better. All that software was written specificly for the S4 hardware.
The Cyanogen camera or the Google stock camera is just an app using generic software not written specificly for this phone's camera hardware. That's no different than ANY other camera you can find on Google Play. They are ALL using generic software.
As a result, none of them are every going to be as crisp as the TouchWiz camera software. They almost all still take a really good picture with this phone, and many give various effects you might enjoy, but if you are looking for a downloadable camera app that takes a higher resolution, better focused picture than the CM camera, you're not going to find one that's substantially better.
It's the major drawback of AOSP roms on the S4. But unless you are a photog with a really decerning eye, you will eventually become used to the AOSP Camera quality. It's still better than most other phones on the market.
Thanks for clearing that up. That was tremendously helpful.
I want the default camera from sense 6.0 on cyanogen, but when I try to install the APK the camera app crashes on launch. I put it in the /system/app along with its odex but it still isn't working. Anyone care to shed some light on what I can do differently? I've attached a picture of the error and a root explorer screen.

I don't think you can get sense camera to work for cyanogenmod. You need the framework from sense 6 for the camera to work
