[TUTORIAL] How to replace the stock Camera & Gallery with AOSP versions (ROOT) - Moto G Themes and Apps

The stock camera on this phone blows as we all know. But fear not... the AOSP camera is completely compatible with our Moto G!:laugh::good: I'll give a quick tutorial on how to replace your camera for people that are new to this. But for those of you that have been around the block, basically youre just going into system/priv-app and renaming the moto cam & gallery apk's to apk.bak, then copy/pasting the attached camera and gallery apks to the system folder, setting R/W permissions, and rebooting.
Now for the step by step... (i'll be using Solid Explorer for this example, because its free from the play store, but you can use any file exploring app you like as long as it has root access)
1. Download the zip file in the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/crpilccds52lmaw/AOSPcam&gallery.zip and extract it. Inside should be two files, GalleryGoogle.apk and GoogleCamera.apk. Copy them to the internal storage of your phone.
2. Download Solid Explorer from the play store. Open it up and hit the jump button at the bottom, then device, then system root.
3. Now scroll down to the system folder, tap it and go into the priv-app folder. Scroll down till you see four files - MotCamera.apk, MotCamera.Odex, MotGallery.apk, & MotGallery.odex. For each one, hold down on it until the option to Rename it pops up, then add ".bak" to the end of each one. (example, MotCamera.odex = MotCamera.odex.bak) SuperSU should pop up asking for root access, grant it of course.

}
4. When youre done renaming, hit the jump button again, then device> Internal Memory. Inside should be your two files you downloaded earlier. Hit the actions button at the bottom, then select, and highlight the 2 files and hit the copy button at the bottom (the 4th one that looks like two little papers). Now hit Jump> Device> System Root and go into the system folder, then the app folder. Hit actions again and Paste.
5.Stay in the system/app folder, now find you two files you just pasted, and hold down on one of them, then tap Properties, and where it says Attributes hit change. You should only have 4 checkmarks here: Read for Owner, Group, and Other... and Write for Owner. Anything else thats checked, uncheck it. Hit ok and do the same for the other one.
6. Follow the directions in this post to fix fc's in gallery editor (thanks tazlooney89 :thumbup: ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=49263859
7. Now reboot and youre all done! Now you have a less crappy camera and a smoother gallery app! :highfive:

Sounds like an issue with root access,make sure you enabled root explorer in es settings and/or make sure your su binary is up to date

Does this camera have Google Sphere photos?

Moto G doesn't have a gyro sensor, so this is the reason why Photosphere won't ever work.

Nope, no photosphere. It does have a lot more options, like selecting MP size, scenes, and ISO.
*as a side note, part of the reason the stock Moto camera takes such crappy pics is that by default it takes pics at 3.5 MP. Uncheck the 16:9 option to get the full 5 MP :thumbup:

Same here. ES has root access according to SU app, but when I try to rename it, I get task failed.
Running on 4.4.2 US retail.

Oops... Sorry guys, I didn't realize ES was having problems. I personally did it with Root Explorer app, but since it's a paid app I didn't want to recommend it...
But I suggest using Solid Explorer, it has a free trial version and I've tested it just now so I know it works, just follow the use basic instructions as before. I'll update the op a little later:banghead:

ES File explorer, Astro File manager and Root file Manager don't work. At least not in 4.4.2.
But root browser does, and its free on google play.
Thanks for this mod.

Does it seem to you pictures are any better? I can't decide.

I think so. Try taking a pic of something with writing on it with both cams.

Is slow motion recording enabled?

To me, the focus seems to work better and also the pics look more natural, with a little less processing / saturation that the stock moto cam. Low light shots still look crappy, but I think that's more of a hardware limitation.

I've done it with ES File Explorer, no problems at all. Thanks for the apps
For those who are having issues with ES File Explorer you must MOUNT R/W to make changes in "/system"
Enviado desde mi XT1032 mediante Tapatalk

If any of you have problems with the editor of pictures inside the gallery and problems with the panoramic photos, specifically FCs.
Download the zip file containing the libraries necessary to avoid these problems.
Download fix-galleryeditor.zip
Remove the lib folder and copy it to SDcard
Copy the files to / system / lib with RootExplorer or EsExplorer
* If you are instructed to replace some files will accept the option.
Finally give permissions RW - R - R
Restart their Moto entering G Galeria, edit photography and editor will be working properly.

@lowrider262 & @tazlooney89
Thank you both.
I made flashable zip for this (apps & lib files) for easy installation.
If you have problem with this, i delete them...
To all
Chose your zip.
AOSP_Cam_and_gallery_delete_Moto_Cam.zip -> original Moto Camera & Gallery app will be deleted
or
AOSP_Cam_and_gallery_leave_Moto_Cam.zip -> original Moto Camera & Gallery app will NOT be deleted, and you will have two Camera and two Gallery apps
Copy zip dile to your device, flash it via CMW, TWRP or flashify
If someone used AOSP_Cam_and_gallery_delete_Moto_Cam.zip and want to have back MOTO Camera and Gallery, then flash this MOTO_Cam_and_gallery_delete_AOSP.zip. This will add back Moto Cam & Gallery apk with odex files, and will delete AOSP apk's.

[APP][ROOT] GTalk 1.3 with Video - Working on the SGS2!!

See the original thread posted by britoso for details but thought you guys might like a fresh post here with details specific to our SGS2:
[APP][ROOT] Google Talk 1.3 with Video calling, Now wifi optional!
Initially installed talk1.3.nowifi.update-signed.zip via root explorer as per I2asta's post but the other party could not see my video in their chat. So, installed the suggested "GoogleServicesFramework.apk" to /system/app location (root explorer), rebooted and video is now working both ways!!
Update - A little guide as suggested by nasgilani!
Notes
- Root Explorer is a paid app, tried & tested! There are free alternatives out there but use at your own peril...
- I'll be using the updated gapps and the files therein for this guide. If you want to use an alternative version e.g. nowifi, download that one and use in the instructions instead.
- After performing this mod you will probably have to setup your Google Account again... and possibly reboot a second time to resolve any quirks.
Steps
1. Download the Full Google Apps from 20110503 which includes the updated GTalk
2. Extract the following files from the zip and place them somewhere easily accessible on your phone's SDcard:
/system/app/Talk.apk
/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
/system/lib/libtalk_jni.so
3. Open up Root Explorer and goto your extracted files
4. Long Click on Talk.apk and rename to Talk2.apk
5. Long Click on Talk2.apk and copy it, then navigate to /system/app
6. Press Mount R/W at the top right so it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Fig. 1 - Mount R/W to write files to this system folder
7. Click on the Paste button to paste it here
8. Long Click on Talk.apk and rename it to Talk.apk1
Fig. 2 - You should now have both talk2.apk and talk.apk1 as shown above
9. Long Click on Talk2.apk and select permissions
Fig. 3 - Permissions should be as above
10. Alter the permissions to the same as Fig. 3 above and OK it
11. Now navigate back to your extracted files and rename GoogleServicesFramework.apk to something like GoogleServicesFramework2.apk and then Copy it.
12. Navigate to system/app and then Paste it here
13. Rename the original GoogleServicesFramework.apk to GoogleServicesFramework.apk1
14. Now you can Rename the new GoogleServicesFramework2.apk to GoogleServicesFramework.apk
Fig. 4 - Now you should have 2 GoogleServicesFramework files
15. Long Click on the new GoogleServicesFramework.apk and alter the permissions to the same as shown in Fig. 3 above and then OK it
16. Navigate back to your extracted files again and Copy libtalk_jni.so
17. Then navigate to /system/lib and press Mount R/W
18. Paste libtalk_jni.so here
19. Again, set the Permissions of libtalk_jni.so as shown in Fig. 3
20. Reboot your phone...
21. Open up Talk, click on your own avatar and make sure Allow video and voice chats is enabled
22. Test out chat to make sure audio/video is working both ways...
23. Done!
A big thanks to britoso for posting this and I2asta for the root explorer intstructions!!
Thanks for posting it mate,
I would suggest if you can make a small guide on how and what you did to enable Gtalk video enabled on SGS2
Edit: Thanks mate you made this thread alive after the Guide..

Do I have to replace the original Talk.apk on system/app?
have you tested video chat with a pc client? How was the quality on 3g?

yep, I renamed it in the above instructions to Talk.apk1 and left it there just in case you wanted to revert back to the original Talk.
Just a note, lost my Google sync after installing the GoogleServicesFramework.apk, and had to re-add my account in Settings to get my contacts back etc...
No issue obviously just wanted to prevent any "OMGWTFBBQ!! where have all my contacts gone?!?!?!?!" posts... lol

yep, I've only tested with PC clients and if you installed the nowifi version then it works with 3G. The quick tests I've done over 3G shows it works rather well with only a slight lag, acceptable imo.

Sorry mate, i missed that part as i had already installed it and the only change i made was installing GoogleServicesFramework.apk as i found earlier today my mate could hear but not see me...
So that was my bad buddy, i'm sure anyone coming to this thread and reading properly will see what i missed, i just scanned it quick as i had already done most of the work...
One thing i've experienced, when switching to the Rear Camera, it cashes and I only get audio until I select Force Close... i tried this several times but on the 4th it fully crashed my phone, which took maybe 2mins to decide to reboot itself... no damage done tho...
Dickie
Thanks ma10 !! it works ! haha.. I just need to re-login my google account but no contact lost before login.
Edit: Try to change to rear cam and it work fine.

@Dickie, I'm using talk1.3.nowifi.update-signed.zip and I guess that jonrwg is using the one inside gapps.zip if that is any help...
What is the different between talk1.3.nowifi.update-signed.zip and gapps.zip? Is it the same? Just curious.
Do we have this working with the front camera yet?
Does 'Talk2.apk' not need to be renamed to 'Talk.apk' between steps 9 and 10?

New Google Talk 1.3 with Voice & Video Chat Support

http://hotfile.com/dl/131101226/7660669/GoogleTalk.zip.html
I got it from HTC Ruby test firmware. The apk has proper Google signature.
It's still versioned 1.3 but I think it is newer than the one from http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip, because this one has more complete Chinese localization.

Get the Download All Files app from Market.
The stock android browser doesnt allow you to download unsupported files. This includes files like .zip, .rar etc. Instead you get download failed. As claimui said get the download all files app from the market.
Gtalk video working perfect on Samsung Galaxy S2 XXKI4 Android 2.3.5
Help plz? I am still unable to make this google talk version stick after reboot. I tried some of the methods here (I don't understand the changed permissions to rw-r-r method) and nothing makes it stick after reboot. My SGS2 reverts back to the old Google Talk.
Hi,
First thing first Make Sure You Have Root access. i believe you have already rooted your phone.
to check root access use Root Check Basic (get it from android market)
This is Manual installation of gtalk
You Need Root Explorer (File Manager) for changing the permissions of \system\lib folder from R/O to R/W to copy libtalk_jni.so the file in \system\lib. Backup Your existing Gtalk files with Titanium Backup or Astro file Manager.
Download the GoogleTalk2.zip from page 1 unzip
1. Take Backup for existing Gtlak.
2. Delete the old Talk.odex and talk.apk from \system\app
3. Download both files, install gtalk2.apk
4. copy libtalk_jni.so run root explorer go to \system\lib change folder permissions from (Mouned R/O) readonly to (Mount R/W) ReadWrite rename the existing libtalk_jni.so to oldlibtalk_jni.so now Paste the copied libtalk_jni.so earlier to \system\lib Reboot Your Phone and Cross Your Fingers
I have tested on Samsung Galaxy S2 XXKI4 Android 2.3.5, and front camera video with voice working fine .
Hope this will Help.
Try This
Hi there,
I am just a noob, but tried Criskelo's latest rom and gtalk video works out of the box. Also this rom is much more better than the sgs2 stock rom.

[Q] How to enable new 4.2 keyboard

So I'm on unlocked stock yakju and before 4.2 came around I've been using a keyboard app called Smart Keyboard Pro.
Until now i didnt feel the need to even try the default keyboard because it stupidly doesn't have an enter button. However I do want to try its new swype like keyboard but I'm not quite sure what I've done to the keyboard. I vaguely remember i did something a long time ago where i removed the default keyboard but with subsequent updates it has never managed to come back.
Anyone know how to get the default keyboard back?
Under options -> Language and input > keyboard and input methods i only have "google voice typing" "smart keyboard pro" "wifi keyboard" and nothing else.
Just start swiping your words when typing. I didnt need to change anything. its the default keyboard tap or swipe.

Sadly, it's not that simple. It just doesn't exist on my phone, it's just not there.
I use the default keyboard and the one I have checked is "Google voice typing"

He doesn't have the one labelled "Android Keyboard" anymore (first post says he uninstalled it).
@csirac, if you can remember which file you deleted to remove that keyboard in the first place, all you would have to do is re-add the apk file, and it should give it back to you.
You could try flashing one of those "4.2 keyboard on 4.1" mods that are out there to see if that gives it back to you.

I've extracted my stock keyboard (including dictionary) apk from the system/app folder. You can try to push them to your system/app folder and see if it brings back the stock keyboard. I'm on stock takyu 4.2.1 by the way. It doesn't matter if you have yakyu as its basically the same anyway.

thanks for that.
Could you explain how to push it to my device?
You need a file manager app that supports root features such as "ES File Explorer" or "Root Explorer" (both available in Play Store). Connect your device to your PC and copy the 4 extracted files from the zip to your SDCARD. Open up the file manager app that you chose to install and copy the files to your system/app folder.
Can you recall how you removed the default keyboard? I'm assuming that at some point you removed its APK from the system/app folder thats why its not present in your system anymore. It could also be that you just disabled it so it doesn't show up. If you have Titanium Backup installed you can see if its just disabled. If thats the case you just need to defrost it. Like in the attached screenshot, see if "Android Keyboard" is listed ->

thanks for the info!
and its definetly not there. i think i must have just nuked it from orbit. i honestly cant remember
would it mean anything if those files are already in the system/app folder? I just dl'ed the ES file explorer and was looking at my system/app folder and those 4 files are already there.
Hmm. That means your keyboard is just disabled or something. I suggest you take a backup of your original files first just in case. The attached APK contains the 4.2 Stock Keyboard. This is much better because you just need to open it in ES File Explorer and install like a normal application ->

So tried installing that. I get this message "App not installed: An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed"
so i must have done something really messy with it originally. i looked under apps and it is not installed. so what can i remove to install the 4.2 keyboard?
Install "Titanium Backup" from the Play store. Open the app and check if "Android Keyboard" is listed in the "Backup/Restore" tab. It should be listed there if its still on your system. Tap on it once and a popup will show up. Select "Defrost" to reenable it. Reboot and the stock android keyboard should show up now.
If defrost is not listed as an option, just select 'Un-install' and try to install the APK from my previous post again.
Disabled apps are shown in the bottom of the stock all apps list. (I.e. not alphabetical).

Unfortunately, not all system apps are listed there. You won't see 'Android Keyboard' in the stock all apps list.

This method is redundant from V2.0 forward
1. Make sure you are on Stock firmware and have rooted device
2. Download mod zip

5. Go into Download/(zip name) folder and select script for desired Emoji.
6. Tick "Execute script as root"
7. Then select the Execute button
8. It will say "Executing script"

Thanks for this, the iOS10 emojis work great. Can we only have one set installed at a time or is it possible to install multiple emoji packs?

Looking at the script and files, it looks to be the same font name, so no. It would take some trickery to have multiple emoji sets available on the same system.

I could but I'm not going to haha

I tried running your script and it did not work. Well, it appeared to have worked, rebooted, but all the emoji's are the same (not iOS 10).
I'm contemplating on manually doing it, as I've replaced system files in the past.
Edit: Just moved the file manually and changed the permissions to RW-R-R and it worked like a charm. I don't think your script is moving the file correctly ?
Anyways, thanks for the font packs!

You didn't follow the steps is all. You probably didn't use the app stated in op, or you didn't have the zip in your Download folder

I did both of these things, but okay.
I re-read your instructions and it appears that you're assuming there will be a folder with the name of the zip file under Downloads with the scripts in it. I extracted the zip contents into downloads and it put the scripts in downloads, and the sys folder in there as well. Perhaps this is where the confusion is? I see your script has the following path: /sdcard/Download/WETA_Pixel_emoji/sys/ios10/fonts/, where the bolded folder is the difference. When I extract your zip to the Downloads folder, it doesn't create this folder automatically (perhaps your version of Root Browser is set to do this).
I'm sure this will help anyone in a similar situation.

Root browser is not root explorer. Root browser extracts to a folder of the same name as the zip. This is why I link the app also. All I'm trying to do is make it as simple as possible for people who don't even know what a script is. If root browser is not extracting to that named folder then I'm sorry I got it wrong. I don't want people misled by any of this. Please confirm what root app you are using
Use root browser peoples just like the OP stated.
Is this just http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/mod-ios10-profession-emojis-t3487038 but in an "installable" version? If so, would be good to credit the source.

[SEP8.5][ROOT] Samsung Oreo (S9) Camera style on 7.1.1 [J500x]

Since the new camera style on the S9 was released, I was unable to found this Camera app working with Nougat.
Here is a "working" Camera app, grabbed from apkmirror, modified with APK Editor (lowered the API from 26 to 25).
Caution! When the phone is restarted, the app starting but crashes after!
So if anyone want to participate with his hepl, WELCOME!
First. Open the Root Explorer then go to /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera7 folder and rename the app to whatever (backup)
Then copy this SamsungCamera7oreo.apk to the folder and rename it for SamsungCamera7.apk (keep in mind there is a backup)
Then copy this camera-feature-v8.xml to the /system/cameradata folder. There is no need to do any backup of prev. files
Now you can open the Camera app from homescreen, or where ever it is.

BUGS:
-When the phone is restarted, the Camera is starting, it gets the preview but then crashes. (you can restore the Camera apk, restart, then the same procedure, just renaming the two apk files)
-Camera settings is freezing if you want to change anything
-HDR, NIGHT, STICKERS modes not working
-SELFIE FOCUS doesnt have any affects.

Samsung Camera 8.0.11.62 version
Finally, someone has to fix it
It crashes probably because it is looking for hardware that just isn't there. Like night mode and all that.
Files would probably have to be removed in order for it to work properly and to rebuild the apk.

Ok it's true.
Just modified the xml.
Removed:
-Night mode, Stickers (rear and front)
-removed screen flash for selfie, only flash will work if turned on
Working:
-HDR
-Sports
Still looking for the solutions, biggest problem is the restarting phone and then crashing...
Not a big deal if night mode or stickers not working, imortant thing that you can take pictures and record videos.
I already made a post on Q&A section but no one cared about haha, take a look and see if it will help in some way. I just found a way to activate the stickers and selfie focus but both doesn't work, it's like the camera doesn't recognize the face...

PHP:
<local name="SUPPORT_FACE_AR" value="true"/>
<local name="SUPPORT_STAMP" value="true"/>
<local name="CAMERA_GPU_EFFECT" value="true"/>
Changing these values to false might fix camera crash. Face AR and stickers need their corresponding APKs to work.
Also try to make a logcat as logs gives you more detailed information about the cause.

Thanks, btw, in my previous answer to this, I made an upload with the respective apks of stickers and it enable on camera but nothing appears on face. Check it out if you want to.

Sorry guys but I'm not interested for stickers anymore.
I only want to make the style of S9 camera working.
So, when I overwrite the stock SamsungCamera7 with the newer SamsungCamera8 (ofc. renaming it to 7 and changed the API level to 25) placing the camera-feature-v8.xml into cameradata folder, after the first crash the app is begin to work.
The biggest problem is when the phone is restarted, then the app opens, showing the viewfinder, and then crashes after 5 sec.
Restoring the stock app, restarting and overwrite again the app, will be good, again...
I dont know, what happens after the reboot, is there something, that the app is installing or what is making the change...

Not working, sorry. Just for experiment.
So slow mode never will be usable, lack of higher frame rate.
There is a good video editor app on the Play Store, MOCR. You can render a video in slow mo, take a try.
Actually, Night Mode is working but you need to take a screenshot to save a picture.
Better than nothing.
Samples:
I was thinking and, maybe we need the correct libs files to work properly. I don't know how to this, someone could try. Maybe talking with some J7 2016 rom developer (I already seen some roms with oreo camera in 7.1.1) we could get something. The 'saiv' file in system/app contain another files with 'id' and 'face' that could be something.
Someone could port the OreoFusion ROM of J7 2016 for our J5 2016/15

Do the same. Copy and paste with RootExplorer, overwrite SamsungCamera7.apk in /system/priv-app/SamsungCamera7/
Paste the camera-feature-v8.xml to /system/cameradata/ folder
Remember, if system is restarted, must restore the original camera apk (in the first post), then restart, do the same copy paste.

In 2016 version if you restart the system it keeps working but, the only problem i have is that it doesn't open with the phone locked pressing the button home 2x and it is fundamental for me haha

Try the power button two times maybe.
Anyway, not working for me too, if I unlock the phone, there will be a camera app opened.
