****ALL CREDIT GOES TO CM, IT IS COMPILED THIS FROM THEIR SOURCE****
This is the stock AOSP Camera, except it it has an option to used the Power Key as the Shutter Button in the settings. Tested so far on AOKP, Apex, CM9 Beta, and Liquid. Place apk in /system/app and set appropriate permissions.
can you elaborate where is the modify that i want to do the same but on THIS CAMERA not stock?thanks in advance...
Sorry guys but there is a framework change to make it work so just using this camera will not work. it works on those rom's because they already have a camera app in the rom that does this. there are 2 changes 1 in camera and 1 in framework. so unless the rom has it in framework this wont work. Like on stock rooted this wont work.

Ok, what framework edits would be required to get the cyanogenmod 6 camera.apk working on a sense evo rom? As far as I have seen, noone has attempted this. I removed the stock camera2.0 apk and repacked cm's camera.apk, but get force closes. Any ideas? I will try anything guys.
Wow, not a single reply...... what an awesome community.
i know right?

The camera app needs a lot of files to work, I don't know all of them off top but there are some under system/lib and system/bin. It may need some codec files as well.
You may want to try the IRC to see if anyone in there knows
Edit: The kernel also effects the camera so you will probably have to customize it to work.
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:
Miui Camera
Is there anyway to transfer stock features/apks safely from rom to rom let's say the motion controls, or sdcard encryption or led control and svoice or apps likes that. It seems like there's a lot of control over the phone that I don't want to lose if I go to CM9 or other roms.

i want to know that too! i want the stock calendar app on cm10
I was just thinking about using titanium for apps. But as for other options like motion controls I have no idea.
It is impossible to get touchwiz apps on AOSP ROMs. PERIOD.

Nothing that requires the touchwiz framework will work on AOSP ROMs.
So no motions, stock calander, stock message app etc.
If moving from tw based to another tw based ROM, just copy the apk from system > apps to your SD card and put them back oh the new ROM with the correct permissions.
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.
I want the default camera from sense 6.0 on cyanogen, but when I try to install the APK the camera app crashes on launch. I put it in the /system/app along with its odex but it still isn't working. Anyone care to shed some light on what I can do differently? I've attached a picture of the error and a root explorer screen.

I don't think you can get sense camera to work for cyanogenmod. You need the framework from sense 6 for the camera to work
