Hello, I was using Exodus rom on my 5x and loved the camera app (Snap Camera). I switched to DU ROM, which, I do not enjoy the camera app all that much. I have tried to rip the camera app out of exodus rom, and do a titanium back up and restore it, neither ways have worked. When I go to install the apk from the rip (and other files) I get a force close. When I do the restore in titanium backup, it just hangs and goes no where. Could someone help me get this app to install and work on DU ROM?
Your Thread must be in Help & trouble shooting forum move thread there a larger possibility of help is expected there.
First, the thread is in the wrong place. Second, i can recommend using A Better Camera, Camera FV-5 and ProShot.
Thread has been moved, thanks.

Hi,
old photos (from a backup of stock 4.1.2) are not shown in the Gallery app. Newly taken photos are visible. File manager shows all files correctly in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera. The Settings menu of the Gallery app is a completely empty window.
I tried deleting the data of the Gallery app using Titanium Backup, but it didn't change anything.
Any ideas?

Am I really the only one with this problem?
Try different gapps. This issue was talked about a few months ago. I don't remember if it was just gapps or gapps in combination with a specific ROM but it is fixed in other gapp variants.
I still use 0726 with Affinity and I am not having the population problem but the settings issue I still have. Maybe give formula84 a try.

Hi,
thank you for your answer! I tried gapps-jb-20121012-JZO54K-Formula84.zip and 0726, with no change. Is the gallery app really included in the gapps? I can't find any .apk with "gallery" in its name...
Can you maybe link to a thread where this problem was discussed?
Thanks,

I had the exact same issue, just clear cache for Galley app from application manager and it should get fixed
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.
Hi,
With the help of various tutorials in the XDA forum I have successfully ported MIUI V5 with root access for my device :good:. But I want to retain the stock camera and gallery application. The stock camera is somehow embedded in the gallery apk(there is no separate apk for camera). When I try to install gallery.apk in the ported rom it doesn't get installed.
I tried flashing the stock gallery.apk directly too(by putting in the system/app folder and then flashing the rom) but it didn't work. I have also tried replacing libcam*.so files from system/lib, but it didn't help either.
Appreciate your help in this regard. My device is a Mediatek 6589T(Karbonn Titanium X)
Does anyone have the file for this in apk format? I was on an AOSP ROM and installed the lenovo super camera. However now I've gone back to stock and my camera app is crashing. It looks like its trying to boot the lenovo camera, but this only works in aosp. An apk for the camera or any knowledge in how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!
I am guessing you did not clean flash the new ROM and that is why you are having issues with the camera.
And to answer your question such an apk does not exist yet.
