JB camera app??

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?

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!.

Port CM10 Phone.apk to 4.2

Hey guys, since I am a noob in Android development in general, can someone please port the Phone.apk (attached) to Stock JB 4.2 with or without odex file.
I haven't tested this apk yet on 4.2 because I am paranoid. Or anyone can provide me information regarding if it would work directly (without porting).
My main idea behind porting is because of vibration (while call pickup and hang up) stuff that CM provides.
Thank you.

*BUMP*
I tried on Bigxie's Deodexed 4.2 ROM and it force closes. So can anyone please port it.

Install as a system apk and it should work just fine.

just pull it from the rom and push to system

Not going to work.
I read somewhere that the Phone.apk have to be signed by the signature that sign the ROM.
I'm pretty sure the way i phrase is not completely correct but i'm sure you can get the idea.

To the guys who are saying to install as a system app: I, in the first place pushed the APK using zip file but it didn't work. Mach3.2 might be correct. If you guys want to know why I want a port for it, just ask away.

Why not just run v20f? Once you put in the APN info it runs just fine with AT&T and with the additional tweeks it offers better battery life and a newer improved Adreno driver plus it offers the quickmemo you love its a win win for you.

Does anyone feels that the vibration when hitting the "menu, search, back" buttons in CM10 is to strong??
Is there any way to reduce the vibration feedback?

Have you tried reflashing the camera and the lib files as well ? i know the lib files have something to do with editing photos and stuffs, cuz i had to flash them after installating the 4.2 camera with new ones or editing would not work, maybe try to reflash the right lib files that comes with the camera version you are using.

You can extract them from the .zip of the rom you are using or a basic CM10 if you are using camera 4.1, if using 4.2 you are gonna have to find the complete package that comes with the lib, look for the thread called "android 4.1 to 4.2" and extract them from its package or extract them from a CM10.1 package (not sure that works tho, used the android 4.1 to 4.2 package in my case)
As for the files, you need to extract:
In the zip, they are in system/lib and are named libjni_filtershow_filters.so libjni_latinimegoogle.so libjni_mosaic.so and liblightcycle.so
Once you extracted the files, (backup or rename the old files 1st) copy them to your phone's system/lib using a root explorer (es or root explorer w.e you like to use) and make sure to change the files persmissions to r-r-rw and reboot your phone.
If that doesnt work, l really dont know ...

Focal Flashable Zip (With Libs & Bin!)

Hi, I have made the Focal apk from CM 10.2 into a flashable zip. Why, you may ask, when there's an apk available to install? Well, it seems that many of the force closes come from missing libs or bin files. Thanks to @Carlos_Manuel, who made compiled the stuff from CM source, I have then made it into a simple flashable zip. Just boot into recovery, flash this, no need to wipe anything. Boot up, and more things should be working. Some thins still force close, but in general it works slightly better.
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/1hfhtvsxz36m6hj/focal.zip

Hmmm, this didn't seem to change anything for me. Flash still doesn't work and I still get the occasional FC.
