How do I invert stock ICS SMS

I was able to get it installed and working with root explorer but I don't see a way to make it inverted/dark themed.. Although it is still better then the stock touchwiz one..
Stupid samsung and not having pinch to zoom built in.

No one has one?

Did you manually move the .apk to system/app and set permissions after?

It won't work that way,after you put it in you have to set permissions to rw,r,r like this :
Read the directions in the thread I pointed you to it will explain how to do it and you could re-name the mms apk to SecMms for good measure.Lemme know how it works out for ya.Make sure unknown sources is checked in menu-system settings-security just in case and you have to have read/write permissions in whatever root explorer you are using so when you change the permissions for the .apk it sticks after reboot.

So it doesn't work to do it like this? It worked for the one I have right now replacing it.. but that one isn't inverted.
Also I need to have it as Mms.apk because that is the only way the swipe to message from contacts will work. Also I have a nandroid backup and backed up on my dropbox so its all good.
I'll try to do yours with the different permissions.

So it didn't work.. it forced closed when I tried.. I tried some other ones I found and they all had the same bugs as they had before I changed the permission just now.

If you are on an ICS rom and are looking for an ICS stock type messing app than they are different.The one you posted looks like a cm9 aokp etc.... messaging apk.They look different.A stock ICS mms.apk has the bubbles text.The .apk I pointed you to is a dark background with bubbles txt.Not the standard white background like on some of the ICS roms.

The reason I don't want the touchwiz one is it doens't have pinch to zoom on the pictures. The stock ICS one I have does. If it was holo dark themed it would be perfect.
The APK you gave me didn't even launch/work.

Hey I am still happy that I got pinch to zoom working.. Would be nice if I got a black themed one *and it is easy to do that with the built in one* but atleast I got the important part that samsung derped and didn't do.
Edit: For those that want to apk for if you are looking at this when I post it or via google I have attached it.
Pinch and zoom works, and it works with the contacts swipe to message as of posting of this. (I am on ICS)

Anyone know why the text inside my bubbles are light rather than dark?

[APPS] A more complete JB 4.2 Camera and Gallery

Hi,
I've created a flashable zip based on the files extracted by dmmarck (it's all his doing! I'm just packaging it). Just flash from CWM or TWRP.
Everything should work: regular pics, photosphere, gallery and editor. On my device, it all coexists nicely with my existing camera and gallery.
Edit: just noticed that garner had updated his own thread with more things working. It seems his archive contains fewer files, which is great if you want to save space. If it's not working for you, though, try this version.

Thanks cyansmoker!
For me garner's zip didnt work. Yours did!

Trying this out now! Thanks!

Anyone having heat issues with the new cam?

I've heard claims that, yes, it can run your phone pretty hot.
Not sure what it's doing.

Works perfect!

I just noticed that JB 4.2 camera does not have some features what ICS/JB camera has...
Is there any way to get JB 4.1.2 camera for an second camera without another gallery app? ICS camera ("+" version from play store) does not have good features what JB 4.1.2 camera has! :/

Does HDR work

Thanks a lot, I was trying to download the zip from another thread but it just keep disconnecting and restarting. this is working perfectly.:thumbup:
Currently using dark paranoid 2.25.1 tablet mode and this camera app working much better and faster than the stock 4.1.2 camera. Loved that photosphere shots.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

the ONLY problem I am having with the photosphere is that it seems to snap pictures when the blue dot isnt directly center of the target. Its close to but not directly center which leads to most of my pictures being "off" from one another.. I wonder if theres a way to slow down the speed or pause it for a second so the blue dot lines up correctly

In my case, I found out that actually slowing down while panning with my phone made things better. I guess my phone was having a hard time figuring out what I was aiming it at.

i've tried to slow it down also (this isnt the panorama selection but the photosphere), but once the blue dot to line up the next shot gets close to the target recticle center where it should be(might be a better word), it snaps the next picture before even getting in the center if that makes sense

I get force close when opening both camera and gallery app. Hmm.. not sure what's wrong though.
I have a cwm backup, but is there other way to restore old camera back? maybe someone has the original apk for camera and gallery?
if not I'll just do a full restore.

Im working on the HDR mode i just cant seem to edit the apk

I've tried the other zip and this one. neither seems to work for me. i only see the normal camera and gallery apps. i am using BAMF current rom. I do see a gallery2.apk, gallery4, and googlegallery. any idea what's going on? is there a way to create a shortcut to the new ones?
nvm, fixed it, renamed other apks, changed perm and rebooted...

I believe that as long as you delete /system/app/GalleryGoogle.apk and reboot your phone, you should have access to your old camera.
Of course it is different from ROM to ROM...

rename the gallery2.apk to gallery.bak, then try to install. I dont see a gallery4 on mine (current Bamf), just a GALAXY4, which is a lwp and googlegallery is what the new one is (I think).

Will it work in Galaxy s3?

[Resolved] How to view Photosphere photos?

I have the 4.2 camera installed and successfully captured a photosphere photo. Now, how do I view it on the device? I can open the photo in Gallery but it's all crammed on the screen. I'm supposed to be able to pan around like in Google Street View, right?
Is there a specific version of Gallery that I need?

Have you tried using QuickPic? I don't know if it will work as i don't have the new camera, but it might

You need to view it in the gallery that came with the 4.2 camera. When you use that gallery, there are extra "buttons" to push that allow you to interact with it. I normally use quickpic as well, but it doesn't give those options.

When viewing the photo in your 4.2 gallery, there should be a button on the bottom of the photo you press which enables to the photo to look as though on google street view.

I see that button but it doesn't do anything. It lights up to let me know I tapped it, but then the gallery crashes. Should I re-flash the 4.2 camera? Or can someone point me to a download link for just the gallery?
I appreciate the help - you guys are great!
Side note: if I upload the photos to Google+ I can view them from a PC. Looks pretty sweet.
But I want to show them to my parents next week and they don't have internet so I really need to get these working on my phone.

the gallery and camera are included in the same package. i don't believe you can just flash separately. i would just re-flash again, and fix permissions. then it's the 2nd gallery in your app list that you need to use.
wasnt aware that you could do that with google+. maybe i actually have a reason to use it now. thanks.

If you're really wanting to get the photosphere to work, you may want to try a full wipe and then flash the 4.2 GAPPS
Galaxy S3 AOKP 4.1.2 JB 11/12/12 Build
Task650 Underwear kernel. (Conservative/Noop)

I was able to resolve this by downloading the camera from a different source. No need to do a full wipe or install any of the other gapps.

[Q] Any rooted OG's running 4.2 camera app?

I'm close to rooting and having my way with the phone while waiting for some AOSP roms to drop, but was wondering if anyone has loaded the AOSP 4.2 Camera/Gallery app? If so, does it work correctly? Does Photosphere work?
Thanks to all the devs for their hard work cracking this device so quickly.

Only gallery works for now. The camera is a no go. Photoshpere does not work either along with picture editing.

gnex camera

Hello there I'm running a costum rom on my gnex (maguro revolt) and the 4.2 camera is cool but lacks a lot of cool features like burst mode or camera effects ( I don't want to use third party camera apps) so is there a camera that can replace the stock camera or add some cool features , or maybe an s3 camera flashable zip
Thank you

Good luck with that...I haven't seen a port of any of the galaxy cameras, they're dependent on touch wiz framework and device specific drivers to function. There are some great 3rd party cameras that easily replace stock and do all the things you want. Or you could try the old miui camera (which I am partial to and works well on gnex). Download one at http://db.tt/7esIix13

There is a zip for the cm voice shutter camera somewhere on xda but you should check with the Dev of the ROM your using if it works as some ROMs don't like it and make the camera f.c
sent from Atlantis

Is there an extracted camera application from cm 10 that u can post? Or a link maybe
Thanks for your help

I'm sorry,I guess I didn't understand your original question. Are you looking for the cyanogenmod version of the 4.2 camera? Because, it seems to have all the features you want.
Edit: here's one from yesterday's nightly. Push it to /system/app and fix permissions to match other files. Since your ROM is at least partially based on cm, you shouldn't need any other files. You can install right along side the stock camera. Be aware that cm camera had no photosphere. http://db.tt/Ns24GuyZ

Your first answer was quite helpful but I need a camera which is stable and fast and has cool features, a cm 10 camera would be okay.however if u can provide me a link from which I can flash, I would be thankful

Gotcha...here's a flashable zip of the same apk: http://db.tt/bUC4ps9L
