Hello all! I've tried searching/posting in other forums, especially the MIUI forums, but I can't seem to get the help that I need. I am on an MIUI v5 3.8.29 ROM and the camera that came with the ROM does not have the quality and settings that the Touchwiz camera has. I would like to somehow install the touchwiz camera, is that possible? I have gotten different answers from different people. Some saying it is possible because MIUI has touchwiz framework and some saying that it isn't possible because MIUI doesn't have touchwiz framework. Well, which is it?
I have already tried downloading a stock deodex touchwiz ROM to try to transfer the camera over, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. There are a couple .apk's in the stock ROM that might pertain to the camera/gallery and those files are: SamsungCamera.apk and SecGallery2_Galaxy.apk. This is the part where I am stuck. The file in MIUI is named Gallery2.apk and there is no other file that looks like it could be the gallery and/or camera. I've tried deleting the Gallery2.apk in the MIUI ROM and replacing it with the SecGallery2_Galaxy.apk, but it will not install to my device. It keeps telling me that install is unsuccessful. Same goes for the SamsungCamera.apk. Has anyone ever done this before or could possibly guide me along? It is very important that I have a good camera for work and this stock MIUI/CM camera just isn't cutting it.
Nevermind. I guess this doesn't work because I am running MIUI with CM base not official, which is TW based.

I've searched and tried looking for the thread that talked about this. I'm running Insertcoin Sense rom and I don't like the stock dialer and contacts apk. I would like to use gingerbread's apk and I need to find the right one to replace my current ones.
This step is new to me, so I will ask. Can I just use Root Explorer to replace those apks? I've seen how they do it for the Samsung G, by just pasting the new apk into the system app folder and removing the stock ones.
Thanks for your help.
can anybody help?
Here you go, I just extracted it from the AOSP rom. May I suggest if you like the look of gingerbread rather than sense then just flash a AOSP rom.
That's what i've done in the past but I like some things from sense that aren't in AOSP roms. Thanks for the links.
Can someone send me the file or a link to the stock camera apk EI22. MY video camera freezes and i want to try and delete and reinstall it again.
thanks
Just pull it out of any non MIUI or CM ROM. Anything stock/ TW based will have the stock camera.
Actually let me say it SHOULD be the stock one, I'm not entirely sure what each ROM has.
I was using tjohnson jr aosp ics rom.Flashed mijjz xplod mini ics rom and its another great rom.i like the camera apk in mijjz rom.the video cam on it is great because it gives me full screen as oppose to the cam apk in the aosp rom which gives me the grey sides.I tried swutching apks yesterday and got force closes.I fixed permissions and rebooted but got the same force close. Am i doing something wrong or are the cam apks not compatible?
Hello guys
I came from Android 4.1.1 (stock), and moved to 4.2.1 (IceColdJelly - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052610).
Now i want to install my camera app from 4.1.1 (odexed) in 4.2.1 (deodexed), and its not just "apk install"
2 problems:
1. Camera.apk is odexed - how can i deodex it (or does someone have it deodexed somewhere)? I suppose it must be deodexed. Apk install gives this error:
C:\adb>adb install C:\Camera.apk
1324 KB/s (2808406 bytes in 2.070s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/Camera.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]

2. In ICJ (or JB in general?), camera is now part of the gallery (my camera app is the gallery app, and i have no camera.apk in my new rom. My plan is to install camera.apk from stock rom, and just use that apk, and then still use the gallery feature in 4.2.1, would that be possible (will the images from the camera show correctly up in the gallery)?
Attatched is the apk and odex file. Odex is zipped with no compression, due to upload restrictions, if anyone wants the files..
Kind Regards

Your camera.apk is from a Sense ROM and there is no way of making it work on ICJ or any AOSP ROM. It requires Sense framework to run and it is not present in any AOSP ROMs.
Hello TToivanen
Thanks. That kills this project i guess.. Well, i just find the camera app of the custom rom quite bad.. The camera was way better on the stock sense rom.. Any suggestions for a good JB camera app? Nothing fancy needed, just quick photos that are sharp.. :good:
Kind Regards

Well I don't even use the camera that much, that's why I stick with the stock ICJ one. I guess you gotta try some of the apps in Play Store.
I tried multiple apps from the store, but i find the best app to be the stock one. A friend of mine having a HOX+ is on Cyanogenmod (no sure which rom specifically), and his camera app is WAY better than mine. Mine is stuttering when moving the phone, his is like seeing the world through the camera lens, no difference at all... Mine is certainly not.
Can anyone suggest a way of porting or installing a better (more smooth) camera app? Or suggest/supply one, ill get it in there myself
Kind Regards

I've tried several of the KitKat Roms posted here but they all seem to have the same problem; the camcorder takes somewhat choppy videos, like it's skipping frames. Is there any way I could install the Touchwiz camera from a 4.3 Touchwiz rom on one of these KitKat 4.4 roms that seem based on the GPE, AOSP or Cyanogenmod? First, would this even work? Second, how would I do it? I'm thinking maybe I make a backup of the camera using ES File Explorer when I'm running a Touchwiz rom, then I flash the new KitKat rom and restore my camera backup there. Would that work?

Simply put, no. MAYBE on the GE ROMs. But definately not on AOSP or Cyanogen. Frameworks are way different.
