JB camera app?? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Ok I don't know if its just me and when I download the ROMS that have been made compiled for JB but in both I have flashed I still have no camera app. Is it not available yet because they change the camera app or am I blind? I've flashed Team Inferno's ROM and Bixie's ROM.

I think you might be blind... lol jk. But no seriously. I've never not had the camera app in any of the JB roms I've flashed (although I'm CDMA). It's still called "Camera..." Perhaps the gapps weren't packaged correctly with the rom so it doesn't show up? Have you looked in /system/apps to see if Camera.apk is there?

Lol wouldn't put it passed me for being blind x) I did check to see if the apk was in the system, its not. BTW I'm on the GSM GNex. Also used the android APK Swapper to double check and it's not there.

Wow. Very interesting. When I went into /system/app Camera.apk wasn't there, but I had the Camera application... I went to drag the Camera app into "app info" and it comes up with Gallery version 1.1.4000, so obviously the Camera application is grouped or side-loaded with the Gallery application. Perhaps try reinstalling Gallery?

You are correct. Normally I remove the gallery apk from ROMs since I prefer Quickpic. Doing this on a Jelly Bean ROM also removes the camera.

New Camera/Gallery 4.2 CWM

Hi, This is my first Thread on xda, so please be easy on me...
I found and tried this new Camera/Gallery for the Nexus 4 on the Epic4G
I can confirm that it's fully working with the latest CM10 Nightly Nov 1st.
The gallery feels and looks much faster and better than the older one
and the camera looks cooler and it's feels faster at taking pictures too.
Update: The new Photosynth shooting mode Doesn't work on our phone because it lacks gyroscope sensor [Thanks @nvertigo for pointing this out]
Flashable CWM
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...gallery-app-with-new-ui-editing-photo-sphere/
if flashing didn't work, you might need then to do it manually as in this post
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...220830-jelly-bean-4-2-camera.html#post2279243
*You need at minimum ~12.2 MB of empty space before flashing of the actual system rom!
I Uninstalled the stock launcher and replaced it with another launcher from the market to solve this problem.
*To force the new Camera to work with hardware button, you might need to disable/freeze the older gallery after selecting the new Camera/Gallery as a default app.
So again here are the steps for the easy way to install the new camera:-
1- Install Third party Launcher of Your Choice
2- Uninstall the stock launcher (Trebuchet)
3- Flash the New Camera with CWM or TWRP (camera42_patched_v2 CWM Flashable.zip)
4- Open Gallery and click on the Camera icon, and then you will have a choice to select your default gallery/camera (select com.google. Gallery)
5- (Optional) To force the new Camera to become the default one, go to settings/apps/all and select Gallery with the version 1.1.40000 and disable it or delete it, don't disable the new gallery that has the version of 1.1.40001.
6- That's It, Well Done!.

I flashed this in CWM on my Epic 4G running AOKP (ICS 4.0.4) Milestone 6, stock kernel and it didn't seem to work. The stock camera app would load instead. Then I remembered to re-flash the ZIP and this time I did the 3x Wipe Cache and 3x Wipe Dalvik.
I rebooted and hooray, both the gallery and new camera are working without any FC's so far. Plus, I deleted the APK for the stock camera app and the new one loads up just fine with the hardware camera button.
You guys really should check out the "time lapse" video recording feature. It's pretty slick!
This didn't work for me until i updated to 11/01 nightly CM10. I managed to get the app running but it FCs when i try photosphere. Any advice?

youre probably missing the photosphere lib in system/lib
from not enough space in the /system partition
Thanks, that solved the problem.
It's not FCing anymore but I'm getting the error that a lot of people seem to be getting in the android police link. photosphere is extremely slow almost completely immobile after the first shot is taken, properly moving to the blue dot is impossible, and going left and right is impossible. is photosphere working perfectly for you guys?

No, I have the same problem here too
According to reddit, this happens because our phones don't have a gyroscope. I guess this is a brick wall.

I had the same issue, but I got it to work by downloading both .zips, extracting both, then I deleted the live wallpapers and gallery2.apk in /system/app and copied over the files from the manual .zip to /system/lib then I copied the new gallery/camera from the flashable zip to /system/app, set permissions for all the files, rebooted and there it was.

I went a head to test the flashable camera again and wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik/System and flashed the latest nightly cm10 Nov 09 rom
The problem is Cm10 System partition is full, look at the first picture attached and you will notice Titanium backup reporting that system ROM has only 81.9 KB of Free space!. So if you tried to flash the new camera with CWM it will NOT be actually installed even though the cwm manager says the flashing was successful.
To solve this problem, you need to free 12.4 MB from your system partition. so if you install another launcher from the market like Go launcher or Lightning Launcher etc... and uninstall your stock launcher (Trebuchet) from your system rom you will have the required 12.4 mb for the new Camera flashing (like in the attached picture 2).
So again here are the steps for the easy way to install the new camera:-
1- Install Third party Launcher of Your Choice
2- Uninstall the stock launcher (Trebuchet)
3- Flash the New Camera with CWM or TWRP (camera42_patched_v2 CWM Flashable.zip)
4- Open Gallery and click on the Camera icon, and then you will have a choice to select your default gallery/camera (select com.google. Gallery)
5- (Optional) To force the new Camera to become the default one, go to settings/apps/all and select Gallery with the version 1.1.40000 and disable it or delete it, don't disable the new camera that has the version of 1.1.40001.
6- That's It, Well Done!.

As from what I've understood - you never pushed that camera into system ... I really don't have much time now, so I can't explain how to do it properly ... Search a bit over the web / xda and you'll find how to do that ... You rename your current gallery / camera set then via adb push the other one ... Just try it out! I for instance have 2 cameras and 2 gallerys ... CM camera/gallery and 4.2 camera/gallery ...

Never hear of a "cyanogenmod" camera. They use the same camera as stock.
And if there was a cyanogenmod camera it would be built in the CM roms, right?
If you want the 'CM' camera then don't flash the Google one that's in the GAPPs package...

Correct.
OR, you can make a clean install of CM and this gapps (they come WITHOUT the google's camera&gallery apk).
Read somewhere that you can also wipe /system (or even simply erase /system/app/gallery.apk) before flash CM and the above gapps. But i'n not sure if last option is 100% fully functional.

Are you sure the camera is part of the gapps package? I think its part of the ROM since the camera is part of AOSP. That, and I just looked in a gapps package and there is no camera/gallery apk. Are you saying there IS a "CM" camera thats different from the stock camera? If so, I have never heard of it but would like to see what its all about.

Google's camera apk comes with the 'viewsphere' (i think that's the name) option. It's a propietary add-on from Google. In addition, there is the picassa sync option. CM10's camera doesn't includes it.
I stick around the Google's one, so I can't explain what enhacements are in the CM's apk (except the HDR newley included, that i suppose is the OP's main objective)

[APP] CM10.1'S HDR Camera [Flashable Zip]

As said on the title:
flashable .zip with GalleryGoogle.apk and libs from latest CM10.1 nightly which has HDR
it has been tested on GSM runnng Vanir w/ AK pirates kernel, it should work on any CM10.1 based rom.
if it doesn't check your actual Gallery*.apk as it may be named Gallery2.apk or GalleryGoogle.apk
change the name of the file in the zip according to yours.
Make a backup- -2
Delete Gallery2.apk or GalleryGoogle.apk from /system/apps/ (to avoid duplicated apks)- -1
Flash in recovery-1
Wipe Cache and Dalvik-2
Boot (or leave it off if you want, last step is optional for those who want to use the phone) (YES, i'm hilarious)-3
Test at your own risk.
This is my first post in the forum, i'm glad to serve.

Flashing went fine on bigxie's 4.2.2 w/ leankernel 6.0. Camera and gallery are working flawlessly but I can't tell if HDR is enabled as it's dark hence I can't take the classic pic of a window from inside. First thing in the morning. Thanks a lot in advance for the effort!

[Q] Please help with camera issues on Beanstalk 4.4 ROM

I upgraded to Beanstalk 4.4 which has been my DD. However, when I switch between the front and back camera my phone reboots. I saw a similar issue on the forum about it and the person said change the camera from 4.4 to 4.3 but I have no idea how to do this.

This has been an issue on 4.4 roms, what you have to do is:
Go to your file explorer (make sure you set root privilage to see sub-system folders)
go to this folder (sys>app)
Delete the camera2apk and gallery2.apk
flash this camera apk from CM 10.2
Once you do this camera would work.

Just push the new apk to the file sys>app, hit it and install it like a regular app downloaded from playstore. This is not a file to be flashed via recovery, thats why you can't see it.
