I want to switch to Cyanogen Mod but I really like the default Samsung camera app. Is there same way to install it onto Cyanogen? I know I can ADB push and replace but that doesn't guarantee it'll function.
Thanks in advance
there is NO way because the samsung app REQUIRES touchwiz in the framework, which CM will NEVER have.
There's no way to get it, just like the guy above me said.
The stock camera (CM7) is much faster for me, so I can deal with it, but I loved the way the Samsung camera looked. Oh well.
Is there a way to use TouchWiz launcher on CM7?

That's NEVER going to happened lol.
CM7 is full AOSP, no manufacturer skins.
Wish the sammy calendar, mms and camera were on CM7. Oh well!

This out of pure curiosity more than anything else but theoretically why can't I "install" Touchwiz? Basically what is the code of Touchwiz, where does it go and how come I couldn't just add it where it needed to be?
Obviously with my low level of expertise I doubt I'd be able to do it even if I knew how but as I said I'm just more curious now than anything else. Thanks for the replies!
i really wish samsung video player and camera can be ported to CM7, some of my videos wont even play anymore on the stock video player not even rock player can play it anymore =/

Samsung's original stock roms use 2 basically redundant framework apks, the twframework-res.apk and framework-res.apk code needs to be implemented on the both of these as well as several jar files in the system/framework folder in order for touchwiz to be implemented. Doing so bloats and slows down the phone which is why CM onlly uses 1 framework. Now it would be theoretically possible to get twiz running on CM7 but doing so would require an immense amount of coding and basically rebuilding of the CM rom from the ground up to incorporate touchwiz, something i can assure you none of the CM team will do.
Try mobo player. I was having the same issue.

Or Rockplayer - it worked for me (.wmv files)
It seems impossible.
Just wondering why you would bother running CM7 if you wanted TW anyway. Just to say that you're on CM7? =P
In regards to the original question, I liked the Gizmo modded camera app from the SGS Tools much better than the CM7 camera app as well. Mind you the SGS Tools camera app is still only functional on 2.2 or 2.2.1 and not 2.3.4, sadly. Functionality was better as well, but I guess you have to give up some things.
I had CM7 on my SGS when it got stolen .. I got a replacement, and to be honest the camera app is the only thing holding me back from flashing again. Standard AOSP camera app is awful by comparison. Ordinarily I wouldn't care, but I'm travelling outside the country for work at the moment, and I wanted to take a lot of pics, so I decided to keep it and just flash the SpeedMod kernel. Maybe when I get home I'll go back to CM7, or maybe just wait for Samsung to release Gingerbread..
I remember a post I read a long time ago wishing that someone could develop a camera app with an incremental manual focus feature, that gave an on screen bar that you'd move to control the focus. No one found a solution. After playing with the LG G2, I've found that the camera app has that feature.
If anyone more proficient at app development could create an apk usable for other android phones based off of the LG G2, I would be MOST appreciative; I also believe many people in this community would be grateful as well.
It won't work on other phones due to differences in hardware and software.

this was one reason i bought the g2 was for that manual focus bar...
when i had my lumia 810 wp8 phone, there was an app in store called proshot that gave you this feature, i loved it. then i got my htc one, and wish i had it for some nice macro shots. now my g2 has it. yay
Hey folks. Wondering if someone can chime in on the possibility of this...
I want the Camera app from the factory LG rom to work on AOSP phones. only because its HDR ability was much better than any app I have tried to fill that void since I switched to CM. Also it's Manual focus was a nice feature among many other things.
I assume it'd need LG's Framework as well to make it work, but if anyone can try to piece this together, or get me the files Id need (I'm no longer on LG's rom) Id be very grateful!

Focal is going to perform roughly the same as stock CM camera. We need the stock LG camera from the G2 as it can better interface with the hardware, not to mention has device specific tuning for the hardware. No other camera will be able to compete with the stock G2 camera.
To the request, i spent some time trying to get it to work few days ago. Not much progress, others have posted that hey manged to get the camera app to completely start up and take pictures, i have not made this much progress. Wish they would have posted theirs.
There is already a discussion about this in the Att-dev section.

Focal doesnt work for me. I'm on newest CM nightly, and pressing the shutter button in focal causes a FC every time.
As an update, I took the apks and odexs from the LG rom for LGCamera CameraTestApp, LGGallery and the framework-res from the old rom. I tried sideloading the apps with no luck, they wont even show up in my app drawer. I assume I need to install the LG framework alongside CM framework, but that's beyond me.

And it doesnt work at all on CM.
The newest CM update added HDR and it seems to work exactly as with LG camera app. But we still need 13MP. CM's app is 8MP currently.

not sure which build you're on but i can snap at 13 MP on the 10/28
Weird... I'm on 10/30 nightly. I only have 8MP available.

Hi, is it not possible to download the lg package from one of the g2 standard roms some of them have packages with all the original g2 apps in or am i mistaken about what you want ?
Is this what you were looking for?
Edit: It's a WIP, but hopefully it will work well soon.

If it works...possibly. The LGCameraAppTest2 is the lg cam, but it FC's, the CameraTest5 doesnt look like its form the g2.

Although this camera is awesome. We can't use the volume to take pics. Fc every time. Also burst mode Fc and shutter sound still goes off even though you enable it.
I love the ui of lenovo very aesthetic.
Just with burst mode worked with the volume button.

Amalence makes the software the G2 uses for image processing, and they also have their own Camera software. It's virtually identical to LG's stock camera app, it just has a different skin.

If you compare the stock to this, you'll see what I mean. It's the same camera as stock but with a different (IMO, better) skin.

Do you have a source for saying amalence is the company making LG's camera software? The program is similar yes, but not as good in my opinion. The HDR images are slower to snap and don't look as good to me. There is no "VR Panorama" or whatever LG called their photosphere mode

Regardless its not going to have the device specific tuning of the stock camera.

Note that the A_Better_Camera requires time to take 3 separate images, a good 1-1.5 seconds. The results are good tho.
I highly prefer the CM camera's HDR to A better camera, and I can't honestly tell the difference from the lg camera. The only thing missing is photosphere. I can use Focal for that, oddly enough that's the only feature that works in focal for me.

Unless I'm missing it, or the flash of my ROM didn't work right, the google camera on my device from the pure nexus edition I flashed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...on-s4-t2837239 doesn't seem to have Slow Motion video capturing which I really would like to have .
Is there a way I could just get the old S4 camera to somehow work with the device? (I was googling for one but couldn't find one.) or I take it that was designed custom by samsung for their software? If not the default one that I had from stock, is there another one some of you recommend?

I don't think you can get it working on the google roms since it was made for the Touchwiz system. If you want to just tinker and try, you can try the S5 camera or the Note 3 camera but as far as I know they won't work.
Ah ok, Thanks Deadly for replying. That's a real shame, I don't like all the bloat that came with my AT&T S4, but the touchwiz camera does seem much better. I'll go look at one of the modified touchwiz ROMs available and try one of them.
Hello Guys!
I have recently installed the AOSPExtended rom on my phone and i was really disappointed by the camera app that it includes.
So i was wondering if there is any plan to port the stock samsung camera app to AOSP and if not, which camera apps would you recommend?
Another problem I'm facing is with the external sd card. i want to use it as a storage device for my camera but it says that i have to format it first, and i dont want to do it - so is there any way to bypass this ?
Thank you in advance! :good:
The best camera app is the Samsung one since its the only one that allows the camera to work at its best, unless Samsung release the source code for the camera it will never look as good as stock. Either go with a custom stock ROM or stick with AOSP. I have seen people report the HTC camera app works best out of those available.
