I'm looking for a camera apk which incorporates volume rocker controlled zooming while capturing video. I had it in a previous rom i flashed though this was the ONLY thing I miss about that rom. I think it was a virtuous rom but not sure. If anyone could please tell me which builds have this camera functionality and if you can share the apk so i can try adding it to my personal installation of miui i'd be so happy.
why not just tear the camera.apk out of the rom and try it in yours...? Thats what I'd do... just do a backup and if it doesnt play nice reflash the backup. You wont have lost anything...
That's fine. How do I grab the apk?
Edit: nvm, figured out how. still can't get a camera apk which has the zoom while recording feature to work though.

Just retested and if I understand correctly,you want to be able to zoom in/out while recording video? Well on unity 1.31 which is where the camera app that I uploaded for you came from, volume controlled zoom works.
Even if you did find a Camera.apk, if your rom doesnt support its features such as, Volume Button Zoom in and Out, then it still wont allow you to use that specific feature. The Camera.apk built into the Rom is the most functional with all features working, otherwise it wouldnt be there. You can try but I doubt the Rom will allow it to force that feature considering it isnt the Camera.apk that came with that specific Rom. Sorry I could be wrong but i've been through this issue in another thread, so im trying to save you time.
+Rep if I helped!

So i flashed over and a JRDNEM_U3_2.34.1 based rom... (http://www.simply-android.com/discussion/704/rom-vanilla-w-eclair-1.0.1-122810/p1) and noticed the camera and camcorder shortcuts arent there. I downloaded the camcorder shortcut app and whenever i click it, i get an FC and it goes back to the homescreen. I dont see a stock camera app so i downloaded Camera 360 but the whole process with that app is too slow for me and the image gets stuck unless i play with the zoom slider to reset the camera. Its weird. Now im using Camera Magic and its great but it only captures 1024x768 which is only .8 megapixels. I want to get the camera and camcorder apps working the way they should, what should i do?
Workarounds i found was using ANcorder and Camera360/Fx Camera/Camera Magic to take pics and video but im still looking for the normal use of it. The developer of the ROM seems to have a chip on his shoulder and isnt very helpful so im wondering if any of you guys might have a different solution for getting the camera to work after flashing new ROMs and finding a that as a problem.
Hello!
Today I wanted to switch the camera app to the Camera app in Sense1 (froyo edition). Actually the Camera and Camcorder start without problem and all the settings are working. But when I press the trackpad to shoot the image the program force closes.(process.android.camera or something like this)
Do I need to change other files too? The sense1 version would be great because there's a constant noise under the recorded movie in sense3 app.
By the way I'm using RCmix and want to revert the camera app to the one that was in froyo. Thanks for the help
I forgot to mention that the Froyo version Camera app saves the image/recording that I made and it's great quality, however, there's te force close after each shoot
Sadly the Camera app is woven well in to the sense framework.... it would take ALOT of reworking to get it to work... its not as easy as dragging and dropping a few files
you could try copying the lib file over from the sense rom... it /system/lib/libcamera.so
i some what doubt it will work mind
MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING
PLEASE SNQ!! can you somehow port the stock camera app with everything working JUST fine! can u please make a flashable zip of the froyo cam. i dont miind pressing the trackpad unless the videos in landscape MEAN landscape and the audio is in sync! Stock cam was so so good n ever since ive moved to custom roms.. cameras are just screwed up!!!

He's obviously using a Sense based rom and he's basically complaining about how Sense roms have screwed up camera when it comes to video playback. If there was a way to fix this, obviously the devs would have done it by now..
I was looking for a camera app with hardware shutter buttons on the t-mobile gs3 forums, but couldn't find any. I started looking at the international version and found this. It should work on touchwiz based roms. It's a nice camera replacement app based on the touchwiz camera. Everything seems to be working so far. It has a couple useful features such as using the volume and lock keys as hardware shutter buttons. Follow the link below to see the rest of the features. I got this off of the I9300 forums and did not contribute to the development of this app whatsoever.
Issues:
- 1080p video recording, 720p works fine
- when using lock button to take photos, power menu comes up

Last time I tried using it, it had issues with video recording (force closes and such).
I see that now. The camera seems to work flawlessly though. I haven't had any force closes thus far except when recording in 1080p. I hope to see a camera app like this for our phone in the near future.

1080p normal works but not fine or superfine. 720p works fine. Camera works well. I went back to stock or one of the playstore ones. Once they get things sorted out for our phone I'll switch. The concept is awesome.
hey guys, can somebody help with installing this to Free GS3 RC6?
the procedure with renaming samsuns.apk does not work. Simply because there is no samsung.apk in this release.
Im not one for fancy OP so lest cut to the chase. I have been working on this on and off for some time now and i am at a point i feel i can call it ALPHA. This should only be flashed on KK or L GPE or pure AOSP. CM will have to be done differently they did some strange things to HW keys that makes camera not work at all.

What works?
Camera
Pan360
Split Capture
PhotoBooth
Selfie
Photo preview
HTC gallery
What needs some work?
Zoe camera wont open. ( if you choose Zoe options you will need to go to settings > apps > Camera and clear data to make it stop)
Camcorder (rotates the video when saving and cause the video to glitch)
Please have a valid Nandroid in case you want to go back. At a later date i can make an uninstall zip.
Special thanks to:
HTC
Google
Neo he pointed out that gallery was update to work without the security check.
Team Ecliptic for pushing me to get this working.

@synisterwolf Do we need to install the gallery.apk also or is packaged up with the camera?

i cleaned up the zip and packaged gallery with the camera. it also comes with Zoe the social network. if people dont want it i can remove.
Looks like there will be a tiny issue with L vs KK. Im going to need to set up a zip for both until HTC updates Camera to API19
I havent found any bugs myself. Well one. Not able to open gallery from camera app

Thus should work. Open gallery first then use the camera to open gallery.

video still needs to be worked on. the camcorder saves the video all wrong and cause video tearing.

@synisterwolf ... When recording video it only records in mms resolution from main camera. Not 1080p like it should.
When I had my HTC the only thing that kept me o 4.0 was the camera..this is a dream come true

Thank you very much man!! I'm on cm12 on HTC One S and it work! But I have only pan 360 , portrait and cam. Why?
