Hey I have ICS from FuguModICS on my phone at the moment.
Previously was using DarkyRom on my phone and that had the Samsung camera, it was awesome.
Now that i'm on ICS I have the stock camera it's garbage is there any way I can get Samsung camera onto my ICS? Thanks
Bump, any way to get samsung camera on ICS?
Try to find the apk somewhere or download from market other camera apps maybe those are better than the ICS one
I have tried copying the Samsung Camera.apk over from my old rom but it doesn't showup in the app drawer.
From what I read it is tied to TouchWiz, do you know if anyone has removed TouchWiz requirement from Samsung Camera apk?
I downloaded 360camera off market but none of the settings work on it because I don't have 3d acceleration on ICS. Can't find any other good camera apps =(

Hi at all, I have some question, I see around of internet (http://www.android.com/about/ice-cream-sandwich/) some screenshot of ice cream sandwich, where, for example the camera app have more feature (like zoom), or more album ( I think that I can create some album like iPhone roll)...the problem is that I put this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356228) on my nexus s but there isn't any zoom, I can't create new album (there is only camera album).
Then I find a little bug that I write here (i can't write on developer XD) when I open an application I can't modify volume of app.

i guess zoom requires hardware support(even digital zoom)
The phone you see on the pics of the first link is the galaxy nexus wich means you wont have all the features you see there on your nexus s!
Also the roms that are ics based right now are still buggy and dont have everything that the official ics has...
So maybe youll be able to do these things when the updates out!

perfect, thank you very much!
Hello,
Is it possible to install the stock Galaxy S4 camera app (and Gallery) on another ROM that isn't TouchWiz based e.g. CyanogenMod? I know most apps don't work because of the TouchWiz framework, but I wouldn't have thought the camera app and Gallery would be dependant on the TouchWiz framework...
And if you cannot do this, is there another app that is like the Galaxy camera app? I'm asking this because I really like the features on the app and the Android 4.3 camera etc. don't cut the mustard for me. And although I don't always use things like slow motion, I'd quite like to when the time arises.
As always, all help is greatly appreciated!
If you mean the SAMSUNG camera .apk?
Technically yes. But it won't run. You need a kernel that supports it plus a bunch of .apks I think (as the camera uses other .apks for certain functions) due to post-processing and other stuff. This is usually why AOSP/AOKP roms don't come with the Camera. It's a really hard thing to move. Plus there's the issue with AOSP/AOKP and licensing issues like that Camera.apk is Samsung's property and can't just be ripped around and mass produced and fed into other roms without permission.
Though I guess most modding of any kind isn't exactly done with the developer's copyright in mind.. Either way the answer is Yes, but kinda no. Not that I've seen in any sort of AOSP/AOKP or GE project as of yet. I remember someone saying there were huge kernel issues amongst so many other things because technically it's part of Tw.
You can do it but your gonna need everything that goes along with that camera. Or if you got time download foxhound ROM, extract it and look for the stock Samsung camera amongst all the stuff. It should be in it's own little folder cause there are 2 camera options for that ROM.
Good suggestion...

Okay, I didn't think of that... Should I place the files in the system folder and make sure I DON'T replace any existing AOSP files e.g. the Gallery?
If this works you will be the saviour of my life! No more Sh*tWiz and an epic camera in one package!
Hi all
Currently got a Samsung i9505 running 4.4 via cyanogenmod 11....all in all its working really well, does anyone know if it's possible to install the "stock" s4 camera and if so where to get it. If not, can you suggest a free alternative that has the same/as good functionality?

Good question! I've been trying to find out the same thing... I've tried a bunch of camera apps from Google Play but nothing lives up to the Sammy camera. I wonder if we could install the official GPE camera apk? Or is that strictly not aosp?
I'm wondering the same thing for CM 10.2.
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)
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 Skipjacks.
That post should be made a sticky as it applies to a whole load of ROMs and something that a lot of people want.
u got it
u just got lucky, there is Stock Camera for cm10.try this...it say's s3 but since cm uses the same app for recording media it won't make a differene , you will just have an additional camera icon that youi can choose to open your camera and switch whenever you like.

That is an excellent response. Already gave a thanks but would like to say it directly. I wish all the knowledgeable folks would answer this way.
Hi
It seems possible to have the touchwiz camera app working on cyanogenmod.
I saw a lot of forum posts about it and almost everybody says that's not possible...
But I saw this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t-gs3-touchwiz-camera-app-aosp-4-2-2-t2370869
It seems possible then ! Can someone do the same for i9506 cyanogenmod 12 lollipop ?
Coz I love cyanogenmod and I love the samsung stock camera app that takes really good photos...
Thank you

I'm sure it will be pain in the ass, but even on stock rom I'm using A Better Camera app.

I installed "a better camera" app and really I prefer much more the stock touchwiz camera app whatever the android version
Hi all, I've been using the S5 for a while and while CM ROMs are great they still lack a proper camera app (the default google camera just doesn't do this camera justice, a lot of options are lacking). So is there any new update on a port of the official Samsung camera app to flash / install on CM ROMs? Thanks in advance!
Anyone?
this is a great question
i'd simply will not consider or try any stock like android for my 900f until they sort the camera out. the s5 camera may not be the best on the market anymore but it's still great on touchwiz.
Did you ever get an answer for this? I am looking for the same thing. Thanks.
