Stock 4.3 TW Camera

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.

try to install new google camera app..:good:

Stock camera app apk?

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.

The 'themer.zip' file deleted my phone app! Per app themer was installed perfectly though (CM 12.1)

If it is possible then @dibyenduroy please made a individual flashable zip of all apps.
I want only gallery and camera app.

I've done some split apps.
All tested on AOSP 5.1.1 by Percy-G2 without gApps.
Camera crashes when using panorama mode; Gallery takes a long time after boot to notice the external storage but then is almost perfect!
Screen Recorder is perfect for the little it does (it reliably starts the up+power built-in video screenshot), and Boxer... uh, I can login to Gmail fine with it!
I haven't implemented backup.sh, frankly with most people jumping to TWRP with bulk install this is added complexity for little gain (and I have little free time in these 2 weeks, heh)

have you enabled camera 2 api?
if yes then stock camera won't work.
If the camera 2 api is magisk module then you can delete it & it'll work.
If it's system flashes file then clean flash the stock rom.
it'll work...!!

in iniro-rom i have the problem, too. When I tap on HDR, the task ist stopped. Camera 2 api is not installed.
