Restore Original Camera

just a quickie. is there a way to change the default camera used for apps in paranoid android.
i stupidly decided to try and install Galaxy S2 - 4.2 Photosphere and Gallery FULLY WORKING from xda onto the phone.
since doing it video will not record from rear camera. front is fine just not rear. apps that use their own camera are fine like vine etc but i was wanting to try the new instagram video but this abviously calls the defualt camera as it displays the same behaviour. front records but rear camera wont.
i want to restore back to stock camera without hopefully haveing to reinstall rom and losing all my stuff

seems to be ALL roms based on 4.2.1 or 4.2.2
i have tried 6 roms now and all do the same thing with the rear camera. if i install a rom based on 4.1.2 everything goes back to normal.
for now the best rom with everything working is the latest neatrom but its a memory hog. i have 100mb left of ram i am having to constantly clear ram to keep it running smooth.
does anyone know of a good custom rom based on 4.2.2 or 4.2.1 that makes use of the old 4.1.2 camera?
just going to try wanamlite as thats based on 4.1.2
i just want my instagram video fix lol

What rom are you using?

so far i have tried
1. paranoid android 3.60 unofficial
2. paranoid android 3.40 official
3. XenonHD Stable-10.0 (23.06.13)
4. [4.2.2] Avatar ROM for Samsung Galaxy SII (I9100) - Updated [Jun 23, 2013] (works on rear camera but goes green but the recorded footage shows as normal)
5. [JB 4.2.2][AOKP/CM10.1/PA] ReVolt JB I9100 [Ver.4.3]
i have tried several other but have deleted the files so cant remember them.
the only success i have 100% is with neatrom which works perfect but the memory useage is just silly. i have less than 100mb ram remaining every 2 mins. avatar works as an output but when viewing its green

Finaly Finaly Finaly yay
dont know if its a kernel thing or what but i just flashed
[ROM][RESURRECTION REMIX][JB 4.2.2] [23.06.13] Resurrection Remix ROM V4.0.2 NEW SEASON
out of pure desperation and it works it did update my kernel though.
so if theres any n00bs out there like me who just want some instagram fun with latest android then go for [RESURRECTION REMIX].
its a good rom as well

the 4.2 camera with photosphere is buggy and video doesnt work. I posted in themes in apps the new 4.3 camera from s4 google edition and its working perfectly even with recording, im on aosp based carbon rom

i downloaded ics camera etc that was a good workaround but some apps use the defualt camera. this is where i struggle. and i spoke too soon
[ROM][RESURRECTION REMIX][JB 4.2.2] [23.06.13] Resurrection Remix ROM V4.0.2 NEW SEASON
has crashed on me 3 times in last hour so not that good lol. may try and nick the camera from it.

Thank you
Thank you for the link to 4.3 camera. it works great and sorts the instagram bug out.
unfortunately i have just found out that 4.2.2 doesnt support vine rofl. so back to square one
Hey guys,
I am the Android engineer responsible for the video playback and recording components on the Vine for Android app. We noticed that there is a bug on a rooted 4.2.2 ROM (mostly S2, prob CM related) that it did not implement one of the camera method (specifically, onPreviewFrame, the data returns null when using image buffering) that we are relying on to work properly. Just want to let you guys know what the problem is.
Best,

What happens if you try to focus while recording a video?

Kitkat Gallery and Camera (Android 4.4)

After I just saw, that KitKat's AOSP Gallery is supposed to feature an awesome photo editor
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOs0vLY6FvA
I tried to install the Nexus 5 Camera and Gallery APKs.
Camera: http://goo.gl/VEBuiq
Gallery: http://goo.gl/a2QHTA
Interesting enough, camera and gallery are now separate APKs. I was running the 4.3 versions before, but had to hack the camera so it runs on my i9305, and system libs filtershow_filters, mosaic, and lightcycle were required.
These APKs seem to run without root (?), and I was just able to install them like any other regular APK. I'm not sure though if that would be the case if I hadn't the 4.3 versions installed before.
Bugs:
- Gallery's photo editor FCs (damn)
- Camera's photo sphere does not work in portrait mode (but is fine in landscape)
Improvements:
- Camera's flash finally flashes at the same time the picture is taken. ^^
Questions:
- Is it true that camera and gallery are working out of the box without the need to root and push .so files to /system/lib?
- Can anyone bring the gallery's photo editor to life?
I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (i9305) with rooted stock Android 4.1 and Nexus 4 camera / gallery working before.

Yeah gallery doesn't work. Theres gotta be something missing that is failing to load

The only problem I found with the camera. I took a picture last night in the dark. The picture took and the flash worked but the picture was pretty much like taking a pic with a phone backlight

Camera still requires libs. You can download it here and copy it to /system/lib (chmod 644). Gallery editor still not working. If anyone knows how to make it work, do update. Thanks.

i9300, SlimBean 4.2.2: Taking Photos, Photosphere (Portrait and Landscape) works (including libs from x86phre3x)
Viewing Photosphere is only possible as photo, the photosphere button shows no reaction

I hope you find a fix for Camera's photo sphere in portrait mode soon

Unrar and put this in system/lib/

Don't want to trip my KNOX counter on the Note 3 and really want the 4.4 camera to work with photosphere, any chance someone can create an APK to include additions to system/lib?

so anyone can make the photo editor work with galaxys3

hope somebody can make the camera with flashable zip file so that no need put the lib file manually @@

wow nice, thanks for sharing

installable apk needed
Hi,
If possible can u make this flashable zip as installable apk?
moreover does this install as additional camera or replace the stock.
can I try this in stock 4.3 version?

I have flashed the zip on my 4.3 stock and all works fine but panorama doesnt work.
When i switch to panorma the screen stays black, but it make the panorma picture and save it. The picture self is ok.
Is there a apk with working panorama that i see it on the screen?

Can't wait for the real 4.4 for our S3's in the near/far future. lol

4.4 Camera Issues *HELP*

Hello and thanks for your time! I have the SGH-I317 and I am having problems with my camera when I flash a AOSP ROM. The 4.4 KitKat camera is not working for me, but when I flash back to a TouchWiz ROM everything is fine. Here are the apps and the problems associated with them:
-SnapChat: Taking pictures works fine, but when recording video it will only record a second or two
-Instagram: Pictures are fine, but the video is distorted and zoomed in
-Vine: The app doesn't even recognize that i have a video camera
-When trying to take a video to attach to a mms message it give me this: (SEE ATTACHED) (I've tried Hangouts and the stock messaging)
And the crazy thing is, when i open the video camera through the camera app, it works fine.
ALSO, When any app that needs access to the camera/video camera is open, there is a horrible screeching sound that comes out of the headset speaker, I will record a video so you can hear what I am talking about. Also notice how the video is fine besides the screeching when opening through the camera app.

@bbasketballer75
Wrong section sir.
You need to delete this and post in questions and answers thread. This section is for developers to post roms..NOT for questions
Thanks
Also..its a known bug for those apps for 4.4 roms. No fix right now.

Yes, the sure, simple solution is to use a stock rom. 100% compatible with those time bandit apps.

THis is exactly why I am on a 4.3 ROM (Ditto Note) most of the time. The stock camera in the kitkat roms doesn't work smoothly for me.

If only that were a solution for me. (using an older custom rom)
I seem to have this issue on any rom BESIDES the stock rom. Its buggy across the mentioned apps, and it never works on the MMS "capture video" setting. This isn't a big deal as it only aggravates my OCD, but my bank recently installed some photo detection software on their mobile app and I can no longer deposit checks due to the buggy nature of the camera.
If you, or anyone else here knows of a rom that is FULLY compatible with the GN2 camera, can you please post it here? Im willing to go back in time.
I wish that developers would fully work out the bugs in X.3 before moving on to X.4, but i appreciate their hard work.

Today I was checking all the asus apps from playstore and found the gallery and camera apps in store. Just type asus in the search bar and look for the camera and gallery app.

Are you sure it's the same camera app as in the Zenfone 5? From what I saw in the Play Store, it looks quite different than the bundled one. The one in the store is a stand alone app they developed that can be used by any phone and doesn't have all the functions.
