The stock camera app is very limited even with no widescreen. I like the MIUI Camera so how would I go about installing it on my stock phone?
Install the apk form here

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:

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.
Does anyone have the file for this in apk format? I was on an AOSP ROM and installed the lenovo super camera. However now I've gone back to stock and my camera app is crashing. It looks like its trying to boot the lenovo camera, but this only works in aosp. An apk for the camera or any knowledge in how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!
I am guessing you did not clean flash the new ROM and that is why you are having issues with the camera.
And to answer your question such an apk does not exist yet.
I tried some custom roms on my OG. I installed Xenon Hd 5.1 rom , and i noticed that the flashlight doesnt work in camera app. I tried lots of camera apps. But the result was same. I returned back to stock 4.4.2 using lg flashtool, but problem was still there. I CAN USE FLASHLIGHT WITH TORCH APPS BUT I CANT USE WITH CAMERA !!!!!!:banghead: It makes me crazy. Now, i m using sling kahroba edition with unlocked bootloader and Cwm. How can i fix it or can i fix it ? :what:
