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)
Hello,
So I have a question, but first let me explain why I want to know. I have been trying to find a barebones ROM, as far away from Google and Cyangine Mod as possible, which is nearly impossible. I have tried many ROMs and found some apps I like and would like to use on a personal custom ROM. How do I extract apps, like the gallery from DU ROM and use it on other ROMS. Is there a certian Lib/Lib64 file needed to use it, or any other files?
don't know why in every custom rom snapchat multi snap recording feature is not working,
but when i am on deodexed zui 2.5 (magisk installed) multisnap works, tried restoring snapchat from titanium backup (backedup in deodexed zui 2.5) but no help it again stop after recording only one snap, if anyone knows how to solve it then great help.
i happens to me every time,on all custom roms cant multiple snap,on zui miui h2os flyme i can.inyone have idea how to fix that?
Guys i was wondering if there is a flashable zip via twrp flashing of original miui music player and camera app because i find it convenient when i was in global beta rom
Ps im using now pixel experience unofficial rom
TIA and hoping for a response
My guess would be that you could install the Magisk module called "Xiaomi Push Framework Fake Advanced" after which you should be able to find them in the Play Store. At least, that is what happens when you install the Sony framework, so I expect this to work the same.
