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

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.

I've never started a thread here, as I rarely have a unique idea - but this time I've decided to bite the bullet and share my experience.
It has been discussed on these forums about editing the APKs for non-stock apps in order to make the icon match the theme throughout the OS (as opposed to using Bettercut or similar to just change the homescreen icon). It has also been discussed elsewhere, but I can't find the link.
My problem was very similar, yet different, so I figured I'd play around and see what I could come up with.
I use the unbelievably sexy GlossSuite theme by Moonsspoon which uses this cool little icon in the notification bar to alert you to having a new SMS (and maybe MMS, not sure...).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I also use the app from the market called SMS Popup. If you dont know what it is, check it out - very handy. One of my favorite features of the app is that you can use it for your SMS notifications, and it allows you to set a custom vibe pattern and it will flash the LED the color of your choice - both very helpful to let you know that it's an SMS you're getting instead of a call or whatever...
You need to turn off the native SMS app's notifications when you use this feature of SMS Popup so that you dont get 2 alerts every time you get a message. The drawback to this, while using a theme like GlossSuite, is that the notification icon for messages that SMS Popup uses is the stock icon:
This is only a problem if you're OCD like myself.
I had already gotten the png icon extracted from the GlossSuite theme in hopes that I could just swap it out with the icon inside the SMS Popup apk (if I could find it, that is).
So I decided to crack open the APK for SMS Popup and see if I could find the icon used and what I could do to make it use the icon from the GlossSuite theme.
Inside the APK in the /res/drawable folder there are 2 images: The app's icon, and the icon used in the notification bar. And to make it even easier, the file name was exactly the same as the file used by the GlossSuite theme! Easy enough!
I used 7zip (WinRAR should work just fine too) to:
1. Open the APK
2. Navigate to the /res/drawable folder
3. Delete the stat_notify_sms.png
4. Drag and drop the png I extracted from the theme into it's spot
5. Delete the META-INF folder inside the SMS Popup APK
-- I got this info from the previously mentioned thread about swapping non-stock icons. It is so that when you resign the APK in the next step, the keys don't conflict with what the APK dev has used (or something like that - I admittedly don't know anything about keys and signing and all that jazz)
6. Close your archiving application.
I then used this auto-signing tool posted by "Dave Da illest 1" to resign the APK using the testkeys. It had to be edited slightly to sign APKs instead of ZIP files. If you want to download my edited version of the auto-signing tool, click here.
Uninstalled the previous version of the app, copied the APK over to my SDcard and then used AppManager to install the APK, and now:
(yes, I know there are typos...)
It works!
I'm sure most of your brainiacs here at XDA have figured this out on your own, but I couldnt find any solid information on it so I figured I'd share what little knowledge I had on the subject.
If you want to try this for yourself and want the icon from the GlossSuite theme, it is here.
And if you just happen to have GlossSuite installed and are using SMS Popup and would like my already edited version of the APK, click here.
[DISCLAIMER: If my sharing of this APK goes against any rules of the forum, please excuse my ignorance. If I find out this is the case, and a mod hasn't beat me to the punch, I'll gladly remove this link!]
So - with all that being said, I should clarify that I haven't done any theme creation (although I have edited a few pngs here and there, but nothing major), so obviously this bit of information is probably well below most of you... But if it can help anyone, then yay for my first real contribution to this community.
Awesome find. When I finally settle on a version I think I will sit down and do this for a few Apps. I havent heard anything on it before so as far as I'm concerned your the first!
|Spike|
i am trying to do something very similar- i am trying to install the file below as my status bar icon but when i use your autosign app (and the other auto sign app) i still get a "this cannot be installed on your device" or something similar....
did you have this issue ever?
After resigning with your tool did you then name it back to what is originally was or did you leave the name as to what the autosign converted it to?
fixed. apparently you need to uninstall the app first. wonder how this affects updates of it in the future?

Yeah thanks for pointing this out - I added the "remove old version" step to my information in the original post.
And since the process goes as such, as far as the Market is concerned, the app isn't even installed on the phone, so I would assume that you won't be notified of updates.
And, of course, if you manually notice an update in the Market and install the app from there, you won't have your changes in place... would have to go thru the process again I believe.
That's where aTrackDog comes into play.
Keep all your apps uptodate even if the market doesn't know.

2. Navigate to the /res/drawable folder
Am I supposed to open the APK on my phone or computer? I can't find this folder.

Its simply just replace the image with your own, resign, install and you're good to go. Heres an example of what you could do.

For non-stock apps, you can use a free app called AppManager to copy non-protected apps to your SD card.
Or, you can just use the terminal emulator
cd data/app
ls
[shows a list of all non-protected apps installed]
cp [filename.apk] /sdcard/[backup folder of your choice]
This same method can be used for protected apps if you can find the correct folder... But I won't provide that info, because I'm sure that's against the rules of these forums.

Congrats. Like I said, this isn't rocket science. But for a n00b like me (and apparently others) this was good information that I'm glad I posted.
so how do edit the files in update.zip without getting an error?
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..

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...

What is the different between talk1.3.nowifi.update-signed.zip and gapps.zip? Is it the same? Just curious.

Is working for me. Front and rear cam.
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:

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?
Enviado desde mi XT1032
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.
Do you want to claim your screen real estate but do you also want to use the Stock Camera App?
What does this MOD do?
This MOD sizes the Stock Camera App to the entire screen in the supported dpi settings (see supported dpi settings below). The MOD is available for both the stock app and the version modded by amk19 (please thank him, his mod is sweet!).
What's the problem?
If you try to change your device DPI from the default 640dpi to say 540dpi or 480dpi, your camera app will be broken and look like this:
{
"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"
}
This MOD will make the camera app fit your screen and work properly again!
What doesn't this MOD do?
Anything else. This MOD is solely created to support the camera functionality on DPI's other than stock 640dpi.
Known issues?
The 'Slow- and fast-motion video player and editor' has not yet been addressed. As such you can create slow- and fast-motion captures, but not watch/edit them on your device.
The white borders around the effects options and the preview button that takes you to the gallery are a little too small for their contents.
Supported DPI settings?
540 dpi
520 dpi
480 dpi
Sadly, due to the way the app is set-up, specific versions have to be created for each DPI setting. Is your flavor not available? Please mention your preferred dpi setting in the comments!
On which devices has this MOD been reported to work?
Galaxy S6 Edge International (SM925F)
Galaxy S6 International (SM-G920I)
If you have tested the MOD on an unlisted device and it works, please add a comment so the list can be expanded!
How to install?
Have a rooted phone
Make a backup! (better safe than sorry)
Pick the version of your choosing (see below) and download the corresponding zip file
Extract the apk file from the zip file
Copy the apk file to your phone
You can make a specific backup of all content inside the /system/app/SamsungCamera4/ folder for easy restoration
Using a mobile file browser like root explorer, copy the apk file to /system/app/SamsungCamera4/ and overwrite the existing file
Change permissions of the copied apk file to 0644 (see screenshot below)
remove the arm64 folder if there is any [UNTESTED, please confirm this works]
(Hot)Reboot your phone
Done!
If you want to install the amk19 version, please note that the 'media_profiles.xml' file is not included here. You will have to follow the install instructions provided by amk19 and replace his apk with this one.
Bla bla bla?
I have been really annoyed by the fact that the Camera didn't support much more useful DPI's, and saw an opportunity to do something back to this community, which has helped me and provided ROMs and goodies ever since I switched to android with my Galaxy Nexus. So thank you for that!
I'm providing this MOD as is, without any guarantees. I am not responsible nor liable for any kind of damage resulting from anything related to this post, etc. etc. etc. By using any of these files, you agree to be fully aware of what you're doing and to take full responsibility if anything goes awry.
Versions?
SamsungCamera4_orig_<x> - The Stock Camera App* modified to work with <x>dpi
SamsungCamera4_amk19_<x> - The Stock Camera App as modded by amk19, modified to work with <x>dpi
* The Stock Camera App used is the one included in the current ROM I'm on (XtreStoLite_G92xF-I-T-W8_DeodexedModEdition_v.1.4a_DVU1BOE3, which i really like so far).
Bugs?
Please add a comment or send me a message if you find anything amiss and I will see if and when I can help you out. For me to be able to help you please include the following information:
Which device version do you have?
Which ROM are you on?
Does the app force close or have some other malfunction?
Have you removed the arm64 folder if it was present inside the SamsungCamera4 folder?
Anything else you could mention that might help narrow down the problem?
If you used amk19's version, some additional questions:
Did you have amk19's mod installed before, and did it work?
Did you follow amk19's instructions when installing (specifically in regard to the media_profiles.xml part)?
Have you tried the orig version and did that give the same result?
Screenshots?
The following screenshots are taken on my phone at 540 DPI.
Enjoy!

Hi Lilmikey201,
The MOD solves an issue that occurs when you change the DPI setting of your device to something other than 640dpi (through build.prop editing). When changed to a lower number (for smaller UI elements and thus more room on your screen) the camera app malfunctions (buttons don't work properly anymore) and the app only takes up a part of your screen (see the screenshot I just added to the new "What's the problem?" section of my post).
So if you would want to change your DPI to 540 or 480dpi (I can support other dpi's on request) and still have the stock camera app in working order, you need this MOD.
I hope that answers your questions!
Cheers,
Bane.

Thanks SO much for altering DPI on these, this is exactly what I was waiting for. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on the AT&T variant. If at all possible, could you alter this version for 540?

Tried the amk version for 480, on the 925T and it doesn't work.

I hear there are actually apps for it in the app store (probably by searching dpi, didn't check). I like to do it myself by editing build.prop. In order to do that:
Get a file browser like root explorer in the appstore if you don't have one already.
Navigate to /system/.
Edit the build.prop file (long press on the file and select 'Open in text editor' in root explorer).
Find the first occurrence of 'so.sf.lcd_density=640'.
Change 640 to the density you want.
Save the file and exit (in root explorer this option is in the menu).
Reboot your device.

GCAM ROUNDUP
So I was looking on our GCam thread and found it the most confusing thread I've ever encountered on XDA.
Hence, I decided to look for other sources to find a suitable version of Gcam with some recommended settings for our device.
If you are on MIUI, please add modules named MIUI, and if you are on AOSP based roms please add AOSP named modules in Magisk.

Portrait mode adds a bokeh effect to background of photos. In MIUI camera which uses both lenses this will be done using the combination of Telephoto lens and main lens. But is Gcam the bokeh effect is added to the photo using software (that's why the effect will not be added to anything rather than people, as the algorithm doesn't recognize them).
In Gcams with switchable lens option, telephoto lens can be used to take photos with 2x optical zoom.
Long press the camera switch button, the first option is for changing camera. When you turn it on it switches to tele lens.
The second option is for manual focus settings. When activated then the sub menu below it redirects to Manual focus settings.
Can i use it without Magisk? Camera2 API is enabled in build.prop
Thanks for this I was having a nightmare finding what was the best option.
I've installed the first one including the magisk modules, how do I use telephoto?
@Shimizux You cannot install version 6.1, but you can use version 5.3.
@Pantherx12 long press the camera switch button, and turn on the first option.
Or go to settings and turn on the first option.
There is no need to restart the app.

That's because you installed V 6.1 which does not support switching lenses. Install version 5.3 instead.

Though not as dramatic as Google's representation, NightSight works excellent wonders!
But for some reason after a while Gcam Crashes whenever NightSight is opened. :/
Hi. Thanks for the good idea. It would be nice to have a subject open for AOSP as well. I use Los.
