Can someone pull the files for the stock 4.3 TW camera?
Currently using Camera Awesome and Snap Camera HDR but I prefer the stock camera app and it had video stabilization.
I'm with you. Pretty much the main reason I'm currently staying with a 4.3 based Rom. I like having ALL of the features available (slow record, fast record, etc).

Stock camera for galaxy s4 is just so beast..
can we pull the camera APK from a 4.3 Touchwiz ROM and install it on a AOSP or CM rom? The only reason I'm still on Touchwiz is for the camera, but I'd like to use it on a Google Play Edition 4.4 ROM. I believe there's a different Gallery app that must accompany the camera app.
I unzipped a 4.3 ROM and found there's a "cameradata" folder with 8.7mb of files in the systerm folder, which is separate from the "SamsungCamera2" APK. I can try loading an AOSP ROM, installing the APK, and placing the cameradata folder in the system folder. How do I install the APK? Would i need to put in the system/app folder then install via settings? Of course I'd make a Nandroid of my current ROM first.

The short version is simply no.
The long version is...
The issue with the camera in AOSP ROMS is that the stock TouchWiz camera has all kinds of proprietary software driving it. That software is built into different parts of the rom and absolutely requires the TouchWiz framework to run. (Which is also proprietary). You can't just pull the APK out of TouchWiz and install it on AOSP.
So there is no way to get the stock TW camera to run on any AOSP rom.
This means that any other app that is using the camera is using generic software to run the camera hardware. This leaves out the ability to do things that the TW software was specifically written to do like crisp auto focus and color depth and all those goodies that make the TW camera better. All that software was written specificly for the S4 hardware.
The Cyanogen camera or the Google stock camera is just an app using generic software not written specificly for this phone's camera hardware. That's no different than ANY other camera you can find on Google Play. They are ALL using generic software.
As a result, none of them are every going to be as crisp as the TouchWiz camera software. They almost all still take a really good picture with this phone, and many give various effects you might enjoy, but if you are looking for a downloadable camera app that takes a higher resolution, better focused picture than the CM camera, you're not going to find one that's substantially better.
It's the major drawback of AOSP roms on the S4. But unless you are a photog with a really decerning eye, you will eventually become used to the AOSP Camera quality. It's still better than most other phones on the market.
Thanks for clearing that up. That was tremendously helpful.
I want the default camera from sense 6.0 on cyanogen, but when I try to install the APK the camera app crashes on launch. I put it in the /system/app along with its odex but it still isn't working. Anyone care to shed some light on what I can do differently? I've attached a picture of the error and a root explorer screen.

I don't think you can get sense camera to work for cyanogenmod. You need the framework from sense 6 for the camera to work

answer is you cant, i cant tell you technically why but its been asked since april
I didn't realize how easy this was but I wanted to make sure someone said this. If you installed gpe 5.1 from Santod, all you have to do is download "HTC service Pack" from Play store. Then Google HTC Camera apk ( I used APK Mirror) and download the Latest Camera (7.15 right now) and Latest Gallery. To my knowledge, all must be installed for it to work properly ( Without being hacked). I also installed ZOE from Play Store, but I don't believe its required.
Edit: Spoke Too soon. Camcorder Colors are Wack... hmmm...
I've started this thread because this one isn't updated by OP quite long time.
What's this?
Two most useful moto apps which you can install just like normal apps. No root or recovery required. I personally have tested apps on euphoria rom, everything works perfect.
update: unfortunately you can't install gallery on stock rom without root. For doing that you have to delete the original gallery first.
What's the difference between this apps and the original ones?
I've modded them a bit. See the list of features bellow. Besides that package names are different (com.nomotorola.camera and com.nomotorola.MotGallery2).
List of features:
Camera:
Advanced settings (little ladybug icon in the right bottom corner appears when you swipe out the settings wheel).
You can read more about some features here
QR, barcode and business cards recognition. "Just place the camera over the item and the scan will begin". As default it was only enabled for Moto X (2nd Gen.), Moto X Pro, DROID Turbo, and Moto Maxx/Turbo devices.
Galery:
Highlight Reel - "a collection of your photos and videos set to music, and easily share it with friends and family."
As default it was only enabled on Moto X Style/Play, Moto X (1st. and 2nd Gen.), DROID Turbo, Moto Maxx/Turbo and Moto X Pro devices.
Face Recognition - "Tag people appearing in photos and videos, and organize them automatically."
As default it was only enabled on Moto X Style/Play devices.
FAQ
What if I want to use this new features but I'm on stock rom and already have preinstalled this apps?
You can root your device and install Moto CheckBox module
How to enable slow-mo capturing on non-stock roms?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/themes-apps/moto-camera-slowmo-t3231608
That's only for moto G. Ask the OP from the thread I gave the link above to edit media_profiles.xml for your phone if you're unable to capture slowmo.
Why have you ported moto G camera and gallery apps instead of porting them from Moto X?
The apps are the same for Moto E/X/G/Pure/Style/Droid etc. So no matter from which device I port. They are all the same.
The camera settings don't respond when I try to press on it
Bring back dpi to default value.

Changelog:
17.01.16
New version of the camera. I can't test it so I can't tell what's new. Please report if you find something new or interesting.
Some people report that focusing has been improved
And seems like support for KK was dropped
14.11.15
New version of the camera.
New thing I noticed is in the developer settings you can enable "Show ISO in wheel". I think that will be useful for some people
06.10.15
Fixed gallery FC on Highlight Reel action. But now if you are on stock motorola rom you can't install gallery without root. To install modified gallery you should uninstall the original one at first (from system/app (or priv-app) and data/app) only then you'll be able to install the modified apk.
For non stock users nothing changes. You still able to install apk just like normal app.
04.10.15
Fixed issue when gallery can not be installed on stock roms
04.10.15
Fixed gallery crash. Re download the apk.
03.10.15
Initial release.
OP on the original camera app thread kind of disappeared from the forums, I'll add a link to this on the 2nd post there with the camera settings explanation so there is some continuity between that thread and this one.
Thanks a lot for your hard work on this!
fixed gallery FC. Redownload the apk
upd
fixed issue when gallery can not be installed on stock roms
Hi S0bes any way for fix FC in the stock Gallery, thanks
Camera works fine on SlimLP 0.8. One issue with camcoder- SloMo recording doesn't start, says it can't start recording because mic is in use by another application (on the other hand it doesn't FC)

If you don't have root enabled, you can disable the original apps so that they will not appear in your app menus etc.
By the way, congrats and many thanks to the original developer, and to S0bes as well for continuing this project!
I'm rooted. Just wondering if there may be some problems when uninstalling those stock apps
Seems like this gallery is unable to delete files. After erasing they disappear from gallery but remains on device (I can see them in file explorer), so after restart they are present again. Anyone else facing this issue?
