Hey everyone,
I love LineageOS and qualitative high Photos etc...
Well, but with the built in Camera I can't realy get the full Experience that I had with the Stock ROMs Camera App.
I've got a Sony Xperia T - and I don't want to flash back the Stock only for a better Camera experience...
I tried to install (and port) the apk's from other Sony Devices to mine, but I just failed and failed and failed!
So if you got a resolution for a good Camera App - and maybe you've just ported the original apk, which would be realy cool! - please post it here!
Thanks in Advance...

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.
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.
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

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?

Hi first of all I wanna tank you for your fantastic work, this app are running like a charm in my Moto G 4G, I also have a Lenovo Tablet (rooted) and try to use this fantastics app so I give a try and the Gallery is working perfect but the camera install fine but FC when opened, do you have any ideas how to make work?
PS: The tablet has KK 4.4.2 stock rom with CWM and root.
Thank you again and sorry for my bad english.
Hello XDA.
I've noticed a new camera version in APKMirror for the Lenovo camera and stupidly installed this, resulting in the camera app now crashing on the go.
Could someone be so kind to upload the Camera APK shipped with the Android 7.0 update of the Lenovo P2?
Trying an older APK gives me "INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE"
Kind regards, Jordy.

Try this, think that should work for you.
Well, I recently got an Xperia X and something that annoyed me was that a lot of the exclusive apps and features from Sony which previous Xperia phones had built-in simply got replaced or removed for no reason after the X series, so, with some effort, I managed to get some of them back by extracting the relevant files from previous Xperia devices which still have the apps, and decided to share a flashable ZIP for anyone else which also miss those apps and features...
Overview
This flashable ZIP will:
• Bring back Multi Camera and AR Mask camera add-ons
• Bring back the Screen Recording app (accessible from the power menu)
• Bring back Clear Phase and xLOUD sound enhancements (accessible from audio settings)
• Bring back the Podcast app (accessible from the side menu of Sony Music/Walkman app)
• Replace SwiftKey with Xperia Keyboard (including its online sync and Gmail/SMS learning features)
• Replace Google Calendar with Xperia Calendar (including its "Tasks" feature which used to be a separate app but now are built into the main app)
Requirements
• Some way of flashing ZIP files (TWRP recovery preferably, but app solutions like Flashfire should work too)
• Your phone must be running a stock ROM based on Nougat 7.1 or newer (security patch or whether your ROM is odexed or deodexed doesn't matter)
• This ZIP file was tested only on Xperia X, but theoretically it should work fine on X Compact, X Performance and XZ too as long as they're running a stock ROM based on Nougat 7.1
Instructions
You just need to download and flash the ZIP file available below. After rebooting your phone, you can check the results by yourself.
Download from MEGA (56.5 MB)
MediaFire mirror
is there any posibility to install the apps without root????

AFAIK, no, except for Xperia Keyboard and Xperia Calendar as they're published on Play Store, but installing them as user apps wouldn't provide full functionality. The other applications normally ships only on stock firmware of the Z series and come odexed, so those apps won't install normally after deodexing, which is a hard requirement to make them work on another phone...
I have not much to say and even just bringing back the screen recording could have made me happy. Yet, you brought all of the excluded features. Thank you.

Not all of the excluded features, but most of them. I really miss Intelligent Rotation (all phones from Z series except Z5 and its variations have it) and even through we have native split screen, I also miss the Small Apps (especially Active Clipper and the floating calculator). I even tinkered with them for a while, it's definitely possible to bring them back by porting from Z5 or Z3+, for example (which are both on Nougat and still have them) but they would require messing with the framework files and thus, would remain locked to a specific ROM version, so at least for now I gave up, especially since Xperia X receive updated firmwares fairly often...
Does your zip file work on stock 8.0 OS? Do you know why there is no headphone selection feature for all X series. Why did Sony removed them? I found an sony headphone selection apk file and Installed it on my Xperia X stock 8.0 OS but it's not showing up in audio settings.

As those are the stock apps, without any modification, pulled straight from the last Nougat firmware for Z5 series, I highly doubt they'll work on anything but stock (or stock based) ROMs. You might find some actual ports of those apps in Sony Cross-Device Themes and Apps subforum, though...
