[Q] Changing the stock camera app. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I noticed my friend with a S4 as well had different options in his stock camera application, probably due to the fact that I flashed my ROM to something else because I screwed it trying to rename the shutter sound files. Is there anyway to safely replace the stock camera app with one with all the options, for example shutter sound, and all the lighting options, because atm, I can't even zoom, it's really just silly.
Thanks ahead.

stock camera wont run on cm or google based roms
you need TW roms

turn off camera shutter sound

i cant turn off the camera shutter and focus sound...i tried to replace the camera files in ui folder with silent ones and didn't work..and tried deleting the whole folder and didn't work..tried root apps from play store and still !!
the only app worked is camera mute which is actually mute the phone while in camera application and i didnt like that
there should be an option in the camera settings to turn off the camera shutter sound, unless it's different for the international models?

You need to have Root, but there's a code you can add to your CSC files to enable it.

There is an app to turn of camera shutter sound in note 3. It does not require root. PM me for the link [New members can't post links]
There are multiple ways to disable this "feature". Here in EU it isn't allowed to have cameras that don't make sounds when taking a picture because you could sneak pictures from people and so. Basically, the option to turn off sound is implemented in the camera software. But the files initiallizing the app on start up tell the software to show or hide this option. That said, you can try to use an app to disable the stock app sound, you can manually change settings in the files that tell the camera what to do (as easy as adding a line of text or even just changing one bit from 0 to 1 or vice versa) or you can use an Xposed module like wanam where there's an option for this that can easily be toggled.
So far I haven't heard of a method that works if you're not rooted, so root seems to be mandatory if you want to do this.
If root isn't your thing, check out other picture taking apps in google play. There are certainly apps that allow to disable shutter sound, and some of those apps provide more/better camera functionality than the stock app. Dpreview.com is a great photography site which also has a mobile phone section called connect. There you get in depth reviews on phone's cameras and apps from a photographers point of view.

What's the current CM camera status for the i9505?

Hi guys,
I'm considering moving from danvdh's ROM back to the latest CM, due to some limitations (not being able to use the SD card to move apps, unable to use xposed at the moment), but wanted to know what's the status of CM's camera, as this is something that works rather well on Danvdh's ROM. Does it take pictures on HDR mode? Able to use SDcard to store the pics?
Thanks!
I've seen storage location options in the camera app. As for the HDR, I don't know.
Xposed is working on the GPE ROM. HDR does not and probably never will function on Cyanogenmod. Your best bet is a third-party camera app that uses its own libraries for HDR and other effects instead of relying on the ones in the ROM.
If done some testing (with my i9505 with optimized CM 12.1). This seems to work and offers additional features to defauklt cam:

Samsung Camera App on Custom ROM

Ive just installed BlissPop on my S5 for the 2nd time and I would like to know if it possible to install the stock Samsung Camera App to my custom rom as its much better than the camera app with this ROM.
Main thing I want to be able to use is Burst Mode as taking pictures of my 2 little ones is tricky at the best of times and they will never sit still. Alternatively if someone suggests a really good camera app with this feature I could try that
Many thanks
Bart
The detailed answer is - it will be difficult - very difficult. The camera from the stock samsung firmware relies on the touchwiz framework to work correctly.

Possible Camera2 API bug.

Hello, all!
This is a little specific, but I was hoping that perhaps other LG G6 users could help me test for this problem to figure out whether it's affecting all the phones/firmwares or is specific to mine.
Basically what happens is that in any camera app, except the native one, if you use specific manual settings (so, through the Camera2 API) there's a bug that changes the value on its own. Perhaps the easiest way to check it is using Open Camera:
1) Switch to video mode (camera choice does not matter).
2) Pick the exposure icon, set ISO to 50 and shutter speed to 1/20
3) Start recording video...
4) On my device after 5-10 seconds of recording the screen turns black (or nearly black) as the exposure speed drops to ~1/10000.
Touching the screen to refocus fixes it for a moment, then it jumps back to ~1/10000.
Basically ISO50, shutter range 1/20-1/30 will cause this. I have seen this in any app that allowed manual settings, like Open Camera, ProShot, Hedgecam 2, AZ Camera, Footej camera etc. Some of them turn black, others just crash/freeze. Sounds like an API bug to me.
I'm on Android version 8.0.0, Software version: V20c-EUR-XX installed through OTA.
Would really appreciate if someone could also try this.
My minimum shutter speed is 1/30... This with stock camera........ Stock oreo by OTA v20c.
No problem with recording.

Thanks for taking the time to check, but the stock camera works ok. It's the others that have this problem. Like Open Camera or HedgeCam2. The reason I want to use those is they recently added an option to change image processing (noise reduction, edge enhancement) so if you turn those down and film video with them you actually get nice, natural looking video and not the overprocessed watercolor look that the stock camera (and most other apps) provide. And if we go for a "cinematic" 24fps look then the Shutter speed could often be 1/24 or so.
Since I have seen some threads looking for a way to get cleaner video I'll attach two snapshots from a video - one with stock camera (and those crazy cartoon edges) and another from HedgeCam 2.
