Currently running CM10 nightlies on my i747.
I am a big fan of the camera functionality of the stock touchwiz rom, I'm definitely up to experimenting to try to figure out how to carry over the stock camera app to a different AOSP based rom.
The stock camera app has great functionality and GUI. One of my favorite functions of the stock GSIII touchwiz rom camera is Press-and-hold exposure/focus lock on the shutter button. It's exactly like holding the shutter button half-down on a point-and-shoot/SLR that's set to hold exposure and focus before shooting. This allows you to capture some sweet shots without having to fiddle around at all with situations where you have too much background light, complicated lighting situations, etc. If this feature can somehow be implemented into the AOSP camera app I'd be a happy camper. Other than that-
Does anyone know all of the stock camera app's dependencies and sister files/apps that I can merge over into an AOSP rom to attempt getting it to function?

Please search before posting.
As stated in LOTS of threads nothing that requires the touchwiz framework, camera included, will work on AOSP / AOKP.
If it was as easy as merging a few files here and there it would have been done by now.

Looking forward to using AOKP or even CM9 when they're finally 100% on our HOXs, but I really like the HOX's stock camera software.
I'm assuming that Sense is required for the stock camera software to work. Is that accurate? I remember the Sense keyboard being available on non-Sense roms in the past.
Would a third party camera app be able to access the phone's special image chip features?
Has anyone come across a third party camera that comes close to emulating the features of the stock app?

for sense camera app to work on aokp that will be a big no no as it depends on the sense UI framework. maybe a third party camera app yes but then it depends on the kernel that is being used as well though. i remembered there was few things needed for the camera to work on the s2 and it needed the kernel source to be provided to get a few things working on there with cm9. but anyway to answer to the main question yes to use stock sense camera on cm9 or aokp you will not be able to as that camera app is dependant on the sense framework
Hi guys,
I ventured into the world of custom ROMs and whatnot for the first time the other day, and successfully installed CM9 on my One X. I'm finding the stock-ish experience far more enjoyable and responsive, and have managed to find excellent replacement apps for all the stuff HTC bundled with the device.
That is, apart from the camera app. I've tried numerous alternatives (Camera360, Camera Zoom FX, Pudding Camera, lgCamera, and more) in addition to the stock Google app and I think HTC's offering vastly outshines them all — particularly with their implementation of both camera and camcorder capturing from the same UI (ie: two buttons on the same page).
I'd love to bring that app back onto my CM9 One X, but is it possible? Is there somewhere I can download it, and will it work without Sense?
Hope someone can advise as I do tend to take a lot of shots and the alternatives are frustrating me.
Sorry you need the sense framework for it to work.

^^ Definitely won't work on Sense-less ROMs. BTW, curious if you found a comparable replacement for the HTC "Car" app/dashboard? That and the camera are the two items holding me to Sense ROMs.
That's a shame. I guess I'll stick with the default camera app for now, as Google's at least seems to be more responsive and starts up faster than any I've downloaded. It's a little ugly and the current implementation in CM9 is a bit ropey (volume of shutter is always on maximum), but at least it works well — if Jelly Bean eventually improves it a bit even better. Would welcome any recommendations to try out though.
As for the GPS question, as I don't drive it's not an app I've sought a replacement for, sorry.
For what it's worth, if you haven't already, you may want to give the eXoDized Revolution ROM [here] a try (by JDR0iD, not me!). It's an AOKP with just enough Sense retained to support the HTC camera! In fact, I was able to add back in enough to support the HTC Car app I was asking about as well. So I'm very happy with this, as it gives the look/feel/smoothness of an AOSP but without sacrificing some stock apps we want . Just a suggestion if you are interested.
Anyone able to port over the Touchwiz Camera for use on CM10?
I use the camera app quite a bit, and I think that the Touchwiz Camera is far superior to the stock JB camera..
No, anything Samsung related will not get ported over.

is there any particular reason why?
Aosp framework and Samsung framework are totally different. And apparently the camera is what suffers. Almost every aosp based ROM I've heard of across the 3 devices I've u used have had buggy cameras.

yeah. i keep going back to Touchwiz for the camera app.
Since getting my Note 2, I've only stuck with Touchwiz-based ROMS, but I really like the stock Android experience and I'm wondering what I'd be losing by moving to an AOSP-based rom.
Obviously, most of the pen features would be gone, but with apps like GMD SPen Control, third-party note taking apps, third-party multi-window and way better launchers (I use Nova now anyways)... what extra stuff do I loose that I might regret? I use the camera a lot on this phone, and even with about 6 third-party camera apps that I've purchased, I still like the Samsung stock camera app.
So before I jump, have any of you moved to a stock rom and regretted it? Why?
Camera isn't as good - slower to focus, burst mode isn't as good.
I rarely use S-pen, so can't really comment on that.
Most keyboards out there don't have a separate number row - there is a hacked version of the Google keyboard on here though.
Can't really think of much else - about the only thing I actually miss is call recording. If you take the plunge, I think SOKP is a very good place to start. Great customisations, good support.
In my experience AOSP roms have a little worse battery life than touchwiz.Elsewise there isn't really much to lose.
If you have a bit of trouble making up your mind you use Devil kernel dual boot.
This way you can have both AOSP 4.4 and Touchwiz 4.3 (no official 4.4 yet).

Damn. I guess ill be sticking with a touchwiz rom. Looks like I'll loose more than I'll gain. Thanks for the replies.

yeah I alwasys seem to come back to the TW roms ... I like the pen features alot...
and with custom 4.4 TW rom coming very soon for t0lte (n7105) I will be very happy.
vanilla kitkat roms are very nice otherwise.
I think you also lose HDMI out and you have to format your sdcard to FAT32.

Hello, I would like to ask, if there is some good ROM for daily use with original (or better than original) cam app. I have Liquid Milestone amani 3,2 ROM which is fine, but camera seems to be making worse photos than stock one and its missing some advanced features. I have no idea what kind of cam app is there, seems like google but dont know for sure. Anyway, i am also missing many features of stock cam. Bought this phone becouse of 20mpx cam, becouse I always focus on photography when picking some new device. Until today I had everything stock but now I am on unlocked bootloader seeking the best ROM for making photos with most advanced cam apk. If there is no such a ROM, will have to go back on stock software.
Thanks for any advices.
Try Kitslim_AMG for a stock based custom ROM or MIUI 5 for a different feeling. Both use the stock cam. Combined with Superior 20MP (Xposed Module) you have everything you ask for.
thank you for reply, going to try them
