[Q] Please help with camera issues on Beanstalk 4.4 ROM - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I upgraded to Beanstalk 4.4 which has been my DD. However, when I switch between the front and back camera my phone reboots. I saw a similar issue on the forum about it and the person said change the camera from 4.4 to 4.3 but I have no idea how to do this.
Thanks,
Steve

This has been an issue on 4.4 roms, what you have to do is:
Go to your file explorer (make sure you set root privilage to see sub-system folders)
go to this folder (sys>app)
Delete the camera2apk and gallery2.apk
flash this camera apk from CM 10.2
Once you do this camera would work.
Look for the file in this thread Galley apk

Yep, its the old CM 10.2 camera apk. I'm currently on Quantum RC4 (the best 4.4 release right now) and used this apk on RC3 rom that used to have the issue with the camera and it work flawlessly for me.

I downloaded the .apk and deleted the camera and gallery apk but I am not able to flash the new apk.
I can see it on root explorer but not when I boot into recovery.

Just push the new apk to the file sys>app, hit it and install it like a regular app downloaded from playstore. This is not a file to be flashed via recovery, thats why you can't see it.

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.

I went back to stock ROM that's still rooted , I've tried at least 3 different ROMs and still same thing..
As from what I've understood - you never pushed that camera into system ... I really don't have much time now, so I can't explain how to do it properly ... Search a bit over the web / xda and you'll find how to do that ... You rename your current gallery / camera set then via adb push the other one ... Just try it out! I for instance have 2 cameras and 2 gallerys ... CM camera/gallery and 4.2 camera/gallery ...

CM10 Camera Issue

Ok, I've commented about this several times in the CM10 Discussion thread and nobody seems to give a rat's bum...
When I take a picture, the EXIF info is saved as December 2008.
There are not much differences from ics 4.0.4 to jellybean 4.1.2 so i prefer to use stock rom which has less bugs
I'm using hono stock cwm flashbale v20c
I need help to port or add qmemo app from v20f bell rom to v20c at&t
And i wana add it to quick setting menu to be able make screenshot.
I did ask it in a new topic before with no result and success !

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.

Vibration on key press are too strong??
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?

This question is almost exactly like, if not completely different than the thread topic... but to answer your questions: I wouldn't say it's too strong, but it seems that it vibrates twice for each press. no.

That's not really the issue. I've tested this on multiple ROMS. The problem exists on:
JellyBam
CM10
ParanoidAndroid
Quattrimus
Hyper Sonic

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 ...

How about flashing the 4.2 camera with the CM10.1 lib files ... you can get them from the "android 4.2 to 4.1" thread i mentioned above, why not give it try instead of assuming it wont work =)

It's not a problem that can be easily fixed. It has to do with the proprietary drivers.

[Q] Someone would know carry this file for 4.2.2 LEAK????

This is the stock Gallery 4.1.1.
Always use on 4.1.2 Roms, and now no longer serves me. For me it is a gallery that worked quite faster than the default brings now.
Hopefully someone knows and can help me. I have rom Deodex
PD: Zip would put the link to the gallery but the forum will not let me

I cant help you on the short term. But you could try the free app QuickPic in the meanwhile as a replacement.

It is a flashable zip. What I always did was delete the file with his odex secgallery with rootexplorer, and then flasheaba for recovery. Now what have I done now in 4.2.2 and fails to open the application.
In theory the flash it already has the permissions so no dice?

Stock 4.4 Camera

I´m on PA and I want to replace the AOSP Camera with the Stock one.

Also if I try to install them, I get an error.
