how to install the Nexus 4 Camera on your M

I did not port this over I just am giving you a way to install on your Razr M.
Download the zip from here ---- >http://d-h.st/lVe
Then follow the directions from here ---> http://pastebin.com/gcHJrFQc
Remember to edit your build.prop ---> editing your build prop can lead to future problems.

Anyone try this yet?

ok so I have a non dev M. I'm rooted and on the Jelly Bean leak. I can confirm this is working for me but I just replaced the files with root explorer and also edited the build.prop through text editor. I copied the files one at a time in the order of the directions, then edited the build.prop and reboot. people are reporting bugs but it's working good here.

I take it the Nexus 5 camera is good? Never seen it. Is it better than the stock Razr M one? And if I install it, does it replace the stock one?

This does not replace the stock apps. I now have two camera and two gallery apps. The camera is OK. Basically they added a nice panorama and sphere mode a layout change but the gallery adds a lot of cool editing options. I am having problems with sphere mode with the camera. Its really slow and I'm not sure if I'm using it right.

OK photo sphere requires a gyroscope, something the Razr M does not have. No photo sphere for us.

well i installed the files and the camera is working great. much faster than the stock cam!
however i did not do any build.prop edits. what is the advantage of doing them?

Panorama and photo sphere might work if you do.

as mentioned, there's no way photosphere will work as it requires a gyroscope which the m doesn't have. i like this camera anyway even without photosphere, and have been trying to modify the apk to remove the photosphere menu option without any luck. don't have much knowledge of smali editing :/

Just as an FYI the description of the file to download the files says to use this address instead http://d-h.st/aIy and not to download that file. Update?

Works!
Works great, of course no sphere, but panorama is nice!

I chatted a Motorola agent and they say our phone has a gyroscope

Just did all of this, and added it to my CM-10 through CMW and it all works. Do change the System/Build Prop as, after rebooting, the camera works in all modes. Thank you

this worked great.. i cant seem to find an option to change where the camera should save my pictures..
anyone seen an option like this in the Nexus camera?? i know Motorolas camera had that option..
thanks

Users on other devices have reported success in using it, and I've only ever gotten the front facing camera to work with it. Rear facing camera will only provide a force close

Installed on Eclipse Rom without any issues, didn't need to modify the build.prop or anything. It's very snappy.

Tried with PAC only thing the build prop did was trick the app sphere was still very sluggish Ty for the cam though very cool

Hdr camera for cm10.1

I read a post here saying that cm10.1 has Hdr in its camera. I thus flashed cm10.1 but still I can't get the Hdr settings in the camera. How do I activate it?

Make sure you don't flash gapps which have their gallery apk.

My friends, Even with flash gapps the HDR recording should still be in the there. I have been running this CM10.1 on my galaxy nexus for a very long time and I haven't even seen it. I assume they announced yo let people know it is coming.

The standard gapps replace the gallery2.apk in cm which has HDR. One option is to push the gallery.apk from the ROM's zip file to /system.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

A better option is to manually delete the gallery apk in /system/app, then boot into recovery and reflash CM10.1 (without flashing gapps)

The HDR function makes the pictures look good too. I took a picture of a cheesy tot and it looked more fire than IRL.
I flashed the gapps w/o the camera or gallery. Someone around here provided the .zip, I can't remember who it was though. Search for it and you should find it. If not, I'll find it for you or upload the .zip when I get to work, can't do it now.

The Gallery from latest AOKP builds has the feature. But the wait time between the shots are slightly long so you have to literally hold the camera still, and the algorithm to patch the pictures together isn't precise. Right now I prefer HDR Camera.

I went back to the VZW CM thread where I thought I found the gapps minus camera zip, but couldn't find the same one. I will upload the one I have on my phone if anyone wants it but I'd rather not since I didn't create it and cant remember who to give credit to.. Anyways here are two ways of getting both cameras on CM10.1..
METHOD 1 or METHOD 2

Method 2 worked perfectly.. thanks. But unfortunately, the supposedly HDR images look nothing like a true HDR image. They look too washed out :-/

No comparison to the cheese tot? lol:silly: I was so blown away when I took that picture because I didn't thing my gnex could produce something that looked that good lol.
Want me to upload the gapps I have? I did a clean flash of CM10.1M2 and then flashed gappsnocam.zip on top of that..

Here's two images.. one taken regularly and one with the HDR option.

Pretty obviously the second.

I have a download link for the GApps in my signature along with the apk for the HDR camera gallery app.

Downloaded the camera again..but no good.
Maybe I should do a clean install of CM10.1 than gapps no camera then HDR camera.
BTW: Does the HDR camera take three shots about 1.5 seconds apart from each other in different EV's and then combine them?
Can you post samples of regular + HDR taken from same place/angle?
Thanks

I did it as this, and I got HDR.
1. Flash CM10.1, then GAPP,
2. Boot to Android, use Root Explorer to remove system/app/GalleryGoogle.apk
3. Go to recovery and re-flash CM10.1 again.
Then you will get a camera with HDR.
But I think the HDR is quite difficult to use...
The picture I took is double image...

But why does HDR picture blurs ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Because you have to be very still to make a good picture. Basically you can't move.
Can't really understand all the fuss about HDR.

Is it possible to get a flashable camera zip to be installed on any ROM? The cm HDR camera I mean

lg Camera for better video performance

Tried out the lg Camera and Camcorder app today, and my oh my, it comes recommended, lads!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera
While it can't pull something that's beyond the N4 sensor capabilities, it certainly does a lot better than the stock camcorder with constant and oud refocusing and compression artifacts. As a matter of fact, auto-focus, albeit a bit slow, is mostly stable and the app can pull 20Mbit/s recording over the stock's 12 with noticeably cleaner results at full 1080p. I did notice some force stops while messing around with effects and tones, so skip those options, but for everyday videos y'all should definitely give this app a go, namsayin'?

Okay it does not seem to like setting options to 30Mbit, avoid that or you need a restart. 20MBit is just fine however, just mind the large file size.

My stock camera is better. Pictures looked like crap with that app

Just tried it. Its even worse than stock camera. I am using Huawei stock camera on N4. Much better than stock camera. Focus works great on videos and pictures.

Tried a lot of things, @20mbit recording of the lg Camcorder takes the cake. But I'ma try out the Huawei one for sure!
edit: force close @1080P
edit2: @720p the framerate fluctuates between 23fps and 30fps.

The photo quality indeed improved, bit the front camera is very laggy, but its hás a noticeble quality improvement

I can confirm that this app still works on 4.4.2 and on ART runtime, and still produces the best video, set to 20Mbit/s, of any app I've tried on the Nexus 4.
