I'm on stock 4.2 JB rooted and unlocked bootloader and all.
I hate the 4.2 camera. It's plain lame. I get it that the photosphere thing is nice, but it takes a lot of patience to get a decent pic. So, meh....not a big fan. The controls are OK..convenient settings instead of going thru 5 steps to adjust the exposure etc is good. But what I miss the most is live zoom in option. Its there in the 4.1.2 in video mode. Allows you to zoom in while taking a video. Where's that in the 4.2 camera? Also, I've noticed that the camera has become laggy. Doesn't focus as well as the 4.1.2 app did. I could really take at least 10 pics within 3-4 seconds..all with decent focu...but this thing does take 8-10 photos but all crappy and out of focus. Anyone else face this issue? Anywhoo....the bottom line is I hate the 4.2 camera. To each his own. I love everything else about 4.2. How can I get just the 4.1.2 camera back? I tried to extract it from my nandroids and TiBu ...and install it.....but it force closes on me. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get the 4.1.2 camera app on 4.2?
Lot of times the ICS camera, JB camera got released on its own and I remember having the ICS camera on my Atrix 4G running GB.
Help me get rid of my 4.2 camera app and get 4.1.2 back.........
Thanks,
vG

pull the gallery and camera apks from a 4.1.2 rom and push the apks to system/app set permission to rw- r-- r--. (delete the 4.2 camera and gallery before moving the 4.1.2 apks)
zoom is still there in both camera and video format. just pinch out (is there a such a term?) and you can zoom

You are my favorite person for today. I feel soo dumb for not trying that. Thanks. But I still don't like it for the way it focuses.

I'm running Cyanogenmod 10 now, but I really don't like the Android 4.1 (nor 4.2) camera app.
The 4.1 camera wastes a whole lot of viewfinder space for the on-screen capture button, while the 4.2 camera only does pictures up to 8 megapixels and it crashes when tapping the screen while recording videos (probably due to the Xperia S being unable to do touch-focus in video mode)
Therefore I'd like to know what the best, most functional camera app of the moment is, for Android.
I'd like to be able to take both stills and videos with the same app, as well as being able to switch scene modes and use other common settings.
And more importantly, it has to look right. I want to be able to access everything I need quickly and it should feel as if it were a stock app.
If anyone could help me and probably others too, It'd be greatly appreciated. :good:
Stock camera.
Maybe Lg Camera.

i know that i can use the 4.2.1 camera on 4.1.2 but thats not the problem. im currently using the camera/gallery app from a CM10 nightly pulled from my fascinate... reason being, its the only "stock" camera apk i can find that allows me to take pictures in 16:9. I want to try messing around with photosphere but does anyone know of a 4.2.1 camera apk thats modified to allow me to take pictures in 16:9. without having to crop or reformat them?

In 'Galaxy Nexus Themes and Apps' there is a photosphere for 4.1.2
Not your usual request, but could someone make a flashable zip of Jelly Bean 4.1.2 Gallery with 4.2.1 Camera? I think the new gallery and old camera apps are ugly.
afaik the gallery and camera app is the same apk. im not sure if its possible to do it.

if I remember then there is ROMs for Galaxy Nexus where is gallery2.apk and camera.apk but the camera from them usually force closes on JB 4.2.
but it would be really nice to have JB 4.1.x and JB 4.2.1 camera on Nexus because on JB 4.2.1 there is no "Silly Faces" and "Video Backgrounds" in the camera
although JB 4.2.x has video folder with the backgrounds in the /system/media/ and silly faces in the gallery apk.. :/
darn, I wish it'd have been possible. I really like the .1.2 gallery, but the camera is plain ugly
I've been looking and have not found. Did back to camera android 4.1.2 which was absurdly fast. Did a mod to install it along with the camera's default android 4.3.
Camera 4.1.2 is the best in speed.
Hey guys, I couldn't find this answered anywhere but, as always, apologize if it's a duplicate. A long time back, when I was first trying out 4.1, I found a link for a "better camera and gallery" that really was just that. The gallery had a sweet spiral view and the camera had both a panorama and a camera sphere function. The sphere let me take some sweet 3D pics but when I upgraded to 4.2.2, I noticed the overall camera aesthetics are the same as the 4.1, but the sphere function is gone as is the spiral view in the gallery (though I don't really care much about the gallery). My question is, it there a solid updated camera for 4.2.2? I flashed the zip I had saved way back when, but rather than replacing my existing camera and gallery, it gave me new ones (which I'm assuming is something to do with new architecture of 4.2.2, but I have no idea). My main concern is that now the camera often crashes upon taking a picture and until I reboot, the only message I get is "cannot connect to camera." Has anyone experienced and/or fixed this issue that could give me some input? I'd greatly appreciate it! Cheers
Seems like you are on AOSP based rom. They often has too many bugs .
In theme section there is camera with working photo spare by mike.
Here is link

Gallery you talking is note 2 gallery. Idk if its in there.
Is anyone able to tell me or fi d out why the S3 is incapable of taking full 8 megapixel panoramas? Its not a hardware issue. Both the camera and phone have strong enough hardware to do so. So why is the software limited? Size? Not really an issue. Is there a camera fix/mod that fixes this issue? Not looking to run another app that claims to and doesn't. Tried plenty.

The 4.2 camera with photosphere is capable of doing it. Our S3 do not have 4.2 yet but there are plenty if camera mods out there from the 4.2 you just have to be rooted to flash it. You can technically run both camera apps on your device. Keep in mind the gallery for the 4.2 camera is directly linked to the camera so if you run both you either only use the 4.2 gallery or use 2 galleries. I'll try to find a link for you.
Here this link should get you the camera.

Goodnes Reborn ROM has the Note 2 camera (Slow motion video recording, panorama, best face, etc.) AND the 4.2.2 Camera (Photosphere, etc.). Panoramas are excellent quality. Photosphere is pretty sick too.
