Camera app - old vs ics new

Hi guys
I originally asked this in the Q&A section a week ago, but I wasn't sure if it belong here in the apps section instead. Since I didn't get any replies, I'm thinking maybe I should have posted it here to begin with. I hope someone in this section might be able to help.
If I'm not supposed to put this in two areas, I apologize. I'm not too forum saavy; just looking for help for my issue.
Thanks a lot guys
--- Original post ---
Hi everyone! This is my first post here so I hope I'm doing this right. I'm not sure if this should be here in Q&A or in the App section but here goes.
I really love my Epic 4G. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I was still running Dk28 with midNIGHT rom 3.1. Then I finally switched over to the wonderful CM9 Beta1. I am loving it so far, but there's one thing that bothers me. The camera.
One of the things I used to use on the camera very frequently was the panorama/wide shot function. I really hate the sweep panorama of the ICS camera because with the crafts I make, it's just horrible and it's always distorted because sweeping and me don't get along. The camera that was on my leaked Froyo had the feature where I would click the first picture, and while moving to the side a green box would guide me and then automatically take the next shot when it lined up, then I'd move again and it would take the next shot. It would then put the images together for me.
I really need that feature back. Is there a way that I can install that camera app back onto my phone in addition to the updated ICS camera? I really like the smoothness and speed of the ICS camera for normal picture taking.
I can pull the camera.apk from my original install, but as I said, I don't want to overwrite the ICS one, which I fear because they have the same name and I don't know if renaming it will make the difference. I want both. If someone could guide me in getting both on my phone, that would be great. I'm sure there must be a way, but I don't know how to do it. I've read a lot on these boards so I figure if anyone knows how to help, the great minds here do!
I hope I've explained this ok. If I'm not clear, please let me know. Thanks much!
p.s. I've tried a number of camera apps from Play. I don't like the wide shot ones where it has a ghost image for you to line it up manually either, so please don't suggest that.

I'd love to see the old TW camera on CM9. The ported TW apps thread a couple posts down mentions this, but i haven't seen anyone post a successfully working version yet.

Hopefully someone who knows what they're doing can figure it out for us. *crosses fingers*
Wishlist? Anyone?

Lol....I was running the peoples rom last week and was wondering the opposite. If there was a way to put the ics camera on that tw rom. That's an awesome rom and has the tw camera (obviously), but maybe just flash that and try it for a while?
On a side note.....Not sure if its just me, or does does the ics camera take much better (normal) pictures, even when zooming in quite a bit? I've been wondering if something was done in ics to better utilize the camera hardware.

I find the ICS camera to be really nice for just normal pics. Definitely faster and does seem to be on the clearer side. But I'm really needing that old auto panorama/wide shot feature. (non sweeping motion or ghost line up).

[Q] Any fixes for LED issue ? Also can a DEV make a better looking camera?

Ok so Ive flashed a few roms here and there. Including some of the Cm9 and aokp roms and also some darkside. I found a issue that kept reappearing in every flash, the LED lights at the bottom would not always work properly. They do not light up when you turn the phone on and only light up once unlocked or after 5-6 seconds.. are there any fixes? Ive trying wiping several ways and i always flash according to the OP.
Im now on xtremeperia and I gotta say its the most gorgeous ROM ever. But it still has that problem that will not go away! Ive Pm'd the Dev but they dont have a fix, wondering if anyone else does..
Also heres a question to the Developers. First and foremost I am amazed by the work you guys do! Its great!! Im wondering if one of you guys can design a new camera App, something with a sexier layout! The one found in AOkp and CM9 are just way too boring and makes the phone look cheap as well as the rest of the rom! The stock ones in GB are also a bit boring, wondering if someone can design one that looks like that of what we see on other phones/ as in a better layout. Also a shutter sound that sounds like a real shutter! not the silly nexus ones! lol Not trying to say or offend anyone but im sure lots of folks agree with me on this...
please dont tell me to download a camera app, it feels nice to have a awesome built in camera that is fully functional.
thanks!

First part - AOKP's LED's work perfect for me. Not sure why they at the very least, dont work with CM9.
Second part - Honestly, I doubt any redesigning will take place any time soon... However, you can download other stock apps? Try MIUI's it's nice, and has lots of features. However, it doesn't do video... Stock app for that? - Click here for the camera.

umm.. Isn't a built in camera app an app? Simply put you have to actually install one you download, which takes how long? If you are looking for one that installs with a rom, you could always bake up a rom in the kitchen that installs your 3rd party one of your choice..

[APPS] A more complete JB 4.2 Camera and Gallery

Hi,
I've created a flashable zip based on the files extracted by dmmarck (it's all his doing! I'm just packaging it). Just flash from CWM or TWRP.
Everything should work: regular pics, photosphere, gallery and editor. On my device, it all coexists nicely with my existing camera and gallery.
Edit: just noticed that garner had updated his own thread with more things working. It seems his archive contains fewer files, which is great if you want to save space. If it's not working for you, though, try this version.

Thanks cyansmoker!
For me garner's zip didnt work. Yours did!

Trying this out now! Thanks!

Anyone having heat issues with the new cam?

I've heard claims that, yes, it can run your phone pretty hot.
Not sure what it's doing.

Works perfect!

I just noticed that JB 4.2 camera does not have some features what ICS/JB camera has...
Is there any way to get JB 4.1.2 camera for an second camera without another gallery app? ICS camera ("+" version from play store) does not have good features what JB 4.1.2 camera has! :/

Thanks a lot, I was trying to download the zip from another thread but it just keep disconnecting and restarting. this is working perfectly.:thumbup:
Currently using dark paranoid 2.25.1 tablet mode and this camera app working much better and faster than the stock 4.1.2 camera. Loved that photosphere shots.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

the ONLY problem I am having with the photosphere is that it seems to snap pictures when the blue dot isnt directly center of the target. Its close to but not directly center which leads to most of my pictures being "off" from one another.. I wonder if theres a way to slow down the speed or pause it for a second so the blue dot lines up correctly

In my case, I found out that actually slowing down while panning with my phone made things better. I guess my phone was having a hard time figuring out what I was aiming it at.

i've tried to slow it down also (this isnt the panorama selection but the photosphere), but once the blue dot to line up the next shot gets close to the target recticle center where it should be(might be a better word), it snaps the next picture before even getting in the center if that makes sense

I get force close when opening both camera and gallery app. Hmm.. not sure what's wrong though.
I have a cwm backup, but is there other way to restore old camera back? maybe someone has the original apk for camera and gallery?
if not I'll just do a full restore.

Im working on the HDR mode i just cant seem to edit the apk

I've tried the other zip and this one. neither seems to work for me. i only see the normal camera and gallery apps. i am using BAMF current rom. I do see a gallery2.apk, gallery4, and googlegallery. any idea what's going on? is there a way to create a shortcut to the new ones?
nvm, fixed it, renamed other apks, changed perm and rebooted...

I believe that as long as you delete /system/app/GalleryGoogle.apk and reboot your phone, you should have access to your old camera.
Of course it is different from ROM to ROM...

rename the gallery2.apk to gallery.bak, then try to install. I dont see a gallery4 on mine (current Bamf), just a GALAXY4, which is a lwp and googlegallery is what the new one is (I think).

Will it work in Galaxy s3?

Silent Camera for FI27?

I found the silent camera for FI11 in the Potatoman thread but it doesn't seem to be working properly. Every time I open it, screen goes black, and I have to pull battery and restart my phone.
I already deleted the camera sounds, but as you know the focus sound is part of the actual apk.
Anyone know where I might be able to get another stock camera without sounds?

I might give your ROM a try. I've used various CM mods in the past and they're mostly stable but sometimes GPS messes up or volume doesn't go all the way up... I just had my phone replaced so I wasn't looking to flash it but I'm starting to get that itch again. Thanks for the info. I'll probably do it tonight.

You can modify a config file in /system/ to enable the mute feature inside the app. I forgot specifics, I'm sorry, but I think you might find it with a search. Hopefully someone will see this and post the details

Camera Sounds[Team Venum]

Well this took me a day to throw together and it will become much bigger when I find sounds that work/sound right to throw in there.
1.Download
2. Flash through recovery[don't worry about clearing cache or anything]
Downloads:
--------------------------------
This needs a bit of testing but I know for a fact the shutter sound changes for sure (only when the camera is focused). As for everything else I'm not 100% sure about. Please give me some feedback!
I have tested Option 2 (setting back to default "after trying option 1 to changing my shutter to a dog barking") and it worked perfectly so no worries when going back to the orignal sounds

Just flash it lol and u will see. There are to many to list. It won't physically flash anything until u get to the end so you can see what there is for options.

Flashed this just now and changed every option available. None of the sounds changed for me. Am I missing something or maybe ill try again?
