Camera alternative

So I am using CM7, and while I may switch to other AOSP roms, I likely will never go back to TW. However, I do miss the TW camera greatly. It is one thing Samsung did 'right.' I know that camera cannot be ported to AOSP, but I have yet to find a camera app that can emulate its panoramic feature, that I CAN use on AOSP roms. Does anyone know of an app that might fill that gap?

Look through the android apps and games section, do a search for "Sony panorama beta" and see if you can find it. It is nothing other than a camera app that does panoramas, no other features, but it works great.
If you want a good camera app in general either switch to miui or find a miui camera ported to other roms. It's by far the best camera app in my opinion, no panorama but everything world great.

Yeah I already have the miui camera on CM7. I just found the app you suggested, and it does not install for me. It does not appear to be supported for our device however.

Where\how do I get the MIUI camera for CM7?

I use camera zoom fx. Love it.

Does this have a panorama feature? I don't just mean a wide angle shot, but panorama like the stock touchwiz camera has?

Odd, I installed it back on cm and it worked, since then I have gone to miui and it restored from titanium fine. I used it last week to get some cool wide angle shots of times square.

You are talking about this one:

I tried using the panorama-fix-z_signed as well as the zip for the i9000 and couldnt get the apk to install either time, perhaps you can shed some light for me?

If you haven't already, you might try using ApkInstaller, which is downloadable from the market. That worked for me when installing the MIUI camera.
Edited to add that I just followed the link and installed the Sony Panoramic Beta and when I used ApkInstaller to install the version for non-rooted phones, it worked great.

I was able to install the version for non rooted phones successfully, and it seems to be working flawlessly so far. I did not have to use APK installer at all, and I am rooted, so not sure why I had to use non-rooted version, but /shrug. Thanks!

Does Sony Panoramic Beta have that annoying limit on how long a video should be?

[pseudoFIX] Camera Working on CM10.1

Hi everyone,
Seen that the camera touch to focus is still broken in our SGS3 CM10.1, I've decided to make this script that will solve this problem for you by installing the HuaweiCamera that fully works!
I've tested this on the latest cm10.1 nightly and it worked...
How To:
1. Download Script Manager from the Play Store;
2. Open Script Manager and give it root permission;
3. Open my .pdf file (actually is a .sh file but I think that XDA forum policy does not allow the upload of .sh file. Don't worry, Script Manager will see it like an .sh file )
4. Before you hit RUN, click on the superuser image (This gives root permission at the script)
5. Then, hit RUN and the device should reboot after a couple of seconds...
6. You now have a fully working camera on your CM10.1 SGS3
For any question, feel free to ask
PS: To see the source, just rename the .pdf file attached in fix.sh and open it with vi, gedit, etc...
Edit: re-inserted the script...i had uploaded the old version XD Now it works

so, it just installs the Huawei camera? cool, but how's that original development?

Is this script working for you? Let me know

Worked for me
Thanks

Tried, but not at all satisfied.
I want the stock 4.2.1 camera to work with CM 10.1, but unfortunately, it wont work. So I'll install any 3rd party Camera app. Also Panaroma is not working.
BTW how can I remove it?
Anyways, for your work, +1.

I got over this problem with 3rd party camera software. It has touch the focus and have lots of functions.

Which 3rd party software did you use?

What 3rd party does anyone recommend? I've tried MX camera but found it to be clunky.

Does installing this affect the normal cm camera? Because this works but now I get the error of can't connect to camera on the cm camera and I haven't got this error ever before.

In my experience it does not affect the CM camera in anyway (I'm using this fix for two week and so far no problem)

PROCAPTURE is awesome. WAY better than FX Camera or MX It does not include a video mode though, when you choose it's video mode it simply opens the phones stock camera video app.

Currently using Camera ZOOM FX and loving it. Dare I say I actually prefer it to the stock app, which I used for almost two years exclusively, on my Galaxy Nexus.
Hidden the stock camera app using Trebuchet and defaulted Camera Zoom FX so it opens via lock screen swipe. Perfect solution to the only noticeable bug I had with AOSP on the SGS3.
Regards.

What is exactly this problem? No auto-focus? Im using last Sentinel Rom + Camera FX software, and i don`t see problems...
Should the Autofocus be automatic?
Sentinel Rom is basead on CYnogen:good:

how to extract camera app from s4 ?

Hello, i want to install cyanogenmod but from what i read, camer app sux, so i want to install the samsung stock apk, i haven´t flashed CM, (still have touchwiz) how do you extract an apk from the current rom to install it on another rom ???

the touchwiz camera will not work on aosp-based roms as there are framework variations. the 4.3 camera is working superbly for me. cheers.

The cyan camera is great IMO, only issue I've noticed on some aosp ROM's is the HDR being too dark. Easily fixed by just unchoosing and rechoosing the HDR option. I like the focusing a lot more than the stock camera.

Hello guys,
I am new here so wanted to know if there is a working Android Kitkat Camera APK for a non root LG G2.
Photosphere in LG G2 Stock Camera is not that good for me and I wanted to make use of the Camera app used by Nexus 5.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, i'd appreciate it.
Thanks,

Similar question except on ROOTED phone.
I'm running AOKP Nightly from 2/8/14, but the camera options only let me adjust to 8MP which seems kind of a waste on a 13MP camera. Any suggestions on fixing this (app or instructions on flashing apk)?
Thanks in advance

TW versus AOSP ROMs

Hi all, I have been using the galaxy series since E4G and have used both stock based ROMs and AOSP based. I am currently on Sac's ROM 3 and have been curious about running AOSP on my gs4. So anyone that that has made the change to AOSP, did you miss any features only available to TW based ROMs? Like the stock camera? Or calendar app? I use Nova Launcher so I don't really care about the TW launcher.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

I actually prefer the stock camera and calendar in aosp over tw.[emoji3] I'm a huge aosp fan and always used those type of roms. There are so many 3rd party apps out now for those who don't prefer aosp stock gapps..

The ## dialer diag features in ASOP ROMs is often missing, and perhaps was missing in every ASOP ROM evaluated to date.

I installed cm11 and the voicemail feature was missing, I prefer touchwiz due to more completeness but asop seems a bit quicker with less lag, you won't have the camera with touchwiz due to software optimization.

Check these pictures out. I took them using aosp camera that's in PA gapps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758046 To me its just as good as tw cam. If you use Banks's gapps gives you the Google cam with photosphere and other cool effects.. Then there are tons of apps that can tweak different things..

My guess is just daylight. I've had AOSP camera take pics as good as touchwiz but ONLY outside during the day. Indoors with florescent lights or at night never came out as good.
