[Q]ParanoidKangdroid camera help

Hello, i just flashed paranoidkangdroid on my AT&T samsung galaxy s3 and I noticed something. I saw that the gapps had installed the crappy jellybean camera, and not the new one with the photosphere, and gestures etc.
I want to flash the 4.2 camera .apk, but I don't want the 4.1 camera and gallery sitting there being a nuinsance.
I went to go uninstall it using titanium backup/root explorer, but I can't seem to find the 4.1 camera or gallery .apk
Where exactly are they and what are they called?

The easiest would be reflashing the ROM and then flashing 4.2 Gapps, but then you get all 4.2 apps. Otherwise you could download a root file explorer from the market (nandroid first) and then delete all gallery in /system/apps. Then flash your 4.2 camera.

If I reflash, will I lose the group sms capability that paranoidkangdroid has?

I installed the 4.2 camera and went into Settings> Apps selected the 4.1 camera and clicked "disable" removed the 4.1 camera and gallery and left 4.2
I'm running PAC-Man but it should be the same on yours.

Forgive me for being retarded, but once again, I can't seem to find Camera in the app list. Gallery is there, but I don't see camera..

Lol nope I'm wrong. It is gallery. Sorry about that.

Thanks man
one more thing, do you know how to fix this group chat problem

Totally forgot that disabling apps also hides their icon. Thanks for that. Might be useful in the future and doesn't make nandroiding as necessary

this was leaked a while ago..it does work 100%, photosphere and everything.. but in order to take a picture without it freezing up during auto-focus, you have to set the scene to "Action".

I have had zero issues with "freezing up" whatsoever. Perhaps that was before we had a proper AOKP build. But now everything works. Though after flashing this, I have 2 camera and 2 gallery apps. lol

Using a file explorer remove gallery2.apk from your system/app folder, reboot good to go!!

I used this on a tw stock rom and no problems kudos wondering why cm users having such a issue
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

This is a noob question, but does this work like the stock Gallery/Camera combo where you can see your Picasa folders? When I was rooted and using a stock Rom I would always upload immediately to Picasa and delete from SD/phone and still be able to see my pics in the folder. Since I switched to JellyBam Rom, I no longer see anything from Picasa, although I can still upload pics to Picasa. I flashed GAPPS 4.1.2, and everything works on the apps, except for the Picasa/Gallery thing. Any help in figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.

Idk but every time I went from stock builds Picasa broke unless the dev rebuilds it in. But answer your question no it does not.

This is correct! Thanks for the heads up on the AT&T SGS III. However since "Action" scene is required to be able to use without freezing users should also note that "Action" scene does not have Flash functionality. (No Pictures in the dark). "Auto" mode still freezing up when Auto-Focusing. I'd say if you want the camera to play with Photosphere and never take pictures in the dark then this APK is for you.

That's is working with no problem on JB 4.1 TW base.And the good part : it not replace the TW camera!

I don't know about saving to SD. It doesn't delete your gallery it adds another one beside your original.

About the 2 gallery's/2 cameras: In your app drawer after flashing the first one is stock, second one is photosphere. Just go to the app info and disable the stocks.

I've been running this for about 3 weeks and I have never had to set the scene to anything in order for it to work I just leave it on Auto. It just worked 100% straight outa flashing.
Also, because of this I have working flash as well.

No, it's not unstable. You did something wrong, or your ROM is interfering.

[Q] No photosphere on cm 10.1 and panorama laggy?

I just flashed cm 10.1 rc4 and I'm pretty sure I flashed the right gapps (for 4.2.2). No problems with the play store but the camera app does not have the option of photo sphere and when I select the panorama option it's in a windowed mode and its super laggy. The camera app version is 1.1.40001 and the play store version is 4.1.6. The gapps version is gapps-jb-20130301.
What could be the issue?
Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Couple things.
1) Stop using the 3 month old gapps package. Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857 or the ParanoidAndroid ones. They are kept up to date.
2) We don't have photosphere for our device. Need a mod for that. I know they exist, but I don't know where they are (our Apps section, I presume). One of the others can help you on this point.
3) Camera is not part of gapps (photosphere is). It's part of the ROM.
3) Unsure of lag issue.

Ok thanks I'll download the new gapps off of your link and I'll forget about photosphere but the lag/windowed panorama kinda sucks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

A lot of the TouchWiz ROMs have photosphere, but ironically, the AOSP based ROMs do not have it.

Lol Ok this is weird, I flashed the gapps from the link above so now my camera does have the option of photosphere but every time I click it says gallery has stopped working...
Panorama still extremely choppy though

You need to reboot for camera to work again. I've noticed that if I install a photosphere Gallery apk, I have to click the screen to focus before taking a picture, or else the camera will freeze and fail to work until you reboot.

Android 4.4 KitKat Launcher

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that both the launcher and the new google now seem to work fine on the LGOG.
Everything is pretty snappy and there are some cool new features.
Wanted to let you know, the new google now has something similar to the "always listening" on the Moto X and it's really cool.
Haven't run into any issues, but if any of you guys do, go ahead and post them!
Steps:
Manual
1.Download and install PreBuiltGmsCore.apk, Velvet.apk, and GoogleHome.apk like any other apk.
2.Using a file manager as root, copy libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so over to /system/lib and overwrite if prompted to.
By Flashing
1.Download and flash GOOGLEHOME.zip.
2.Using a file manager as root, copy libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so over to /system/lib and overwrite if prompted to.
New 4.4 apks including Hangouts, new camera, new keyboard, new google now and launcher:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-home-android-4-4-launcher-apk/
libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so:
https://copy.com/aGcxY (Thanks jblazea50)
Confirmed working on:
Carbon ROM
Slimbean
CM 10.2
Troubleshooting:
-If you can't find /system/lib, try a different file manager
-If Google Now force closes, try changing the language to English UK (though this doesn't seem to make a difference on the LGOG)

I can't seem to get Google now to go past "initializing". Tried changing the language to no avail

To get Google now/search to work, you need to take the file from the zip and place it in system/lib and change permission.

I am hearing that this thing is pretty ugly due to it being for a 1080 screen and most phones are still 720.
If you have it loaded can you attest to the "ugliness" due to the screen difference. maybe a screenshot?

I installed all 3 apks in the order specified but when i choose the new launcher, i get google search fc. I tried to change the language for google now while using the lg launcher but it didnt work. Also tried to copy that file to system/lib and it didnt work either.

Did you change permission on the lib file? Also, do a reboot afterwards. Remember you have to install the Google Services app also.

I'm on Optimus v4.4 and installed all 3 parts and get Google search has stopped working when trying to switch to the launcher.

Has anyone gotten this to work? I've tried everything and I can't get this launcher to work??? I can get google now to work but when trying to open the launcher to work it says "google search has stopped" Idk I'm about to give up...
idk how i got here...

Same boat, FC Google Search when trying to use the launcher. Everything else seems to be working, saying "Ok Google" works if Google Now is open, but have tried all fixes for the launcher and still get FC's.

I'm gonna try to make a list of ROMs that the launcher works on (after file overwrite at /system/lib).
Could the people that it works for please let us know what ROM they're on?

Just as I suspected. Only works on AOSP/CM based ROMs for now.

Hmm, most likely a hardware or ROM issue, If not, Camera JB+ from the Play Store is exactly like the stock camera.

I can't promise that this will work for you, but I went into my phone system/app and deleted Camera 2 and Gallery 2 apks and ran the APK I have attached which includes the camera. And my camera is working perfectly now.

I installed that apk but when I go into the settings if forecloses I want to use the the power or volume button as a physical camera button if there is a way for that work

honestly CM team need to rework their camera from the ground app to the UI, (THE ONLY THING I HATE ABOUT CM roms) so either go back to a 4.1.2 touchwiz rom or upgrade to 4.3 also with stock touchwiz
am sure there are camera apps that can replace cm's camera in the Play Store :laugh:

Hi
I have the i9300 with CM11 - 20131206. My pictures are OK, but I want to store the pictures on external SD-Card. The camera on CM 11 cannot do this. I have tried the Camera ICS, because the Camera JB+ is not for free. The ICS should also can store on SD-Card, but I don't have this option in the camera settings. I don't want to buy the JB+, when I'm not sure, that it will work with this option. Can anybody help me, please?
regards
Friedrich

hi. i just installed JB+ camera from 4shared, and it's working very well, but there is still no option to save the pics on sd card.

There is a module for the xposed framework which will save pictures the external sd.
