Am I Crazy ?

When i first got my Nexus 7 it had an icon for the Camera and when it updated to 4.2.1 it disappeared .......so this is a dumb question
where is it and how do i use my camera ? or i can only use it on apps that need the camera?

download nexus 7 camera launcher from market. works perfect.
i don't know why they removed it in the update.

First question, are you crazy? Probably, yes...
As for the camera issue, they probably removed it because you don't use it to take pictures and it would likely only be used with apps like Skype or whatever. However, as the other guy said, the Nexus 7 camera app from the play store works perfectly. I think there is also a 4.2 camera app APK floating around these forums somewhere too.

*puts down random dismembered limb*
Nope you are just as sane as the rest of us.

So wait, people really take pictures with this thing? Isn't that like, very awkward? Pressing a button on a screen that isn't even facing you and all..

Thanks found it works great ! you guys rock

So using old radio like .33 and .27 breaks Video Auto focus functionality? rofl.

My N4 doesn't have that auto focus ring like in camera mode or if i tap a subject on video ,. nor if i get closer to the subject. Maybe it's fixed focused in video mode. sigh...

In stock rom AF in video works. You cannot touch focus(it takes a photo instead which I can't seem to disable). But it definitely works as though in stock rom. Don't know about CM

This is a well known problem with Defy after CM9. It is due to the locked bootloader and old camera libs.

The camera problem exists for CM9 and above. The camera quality will be best in gingerbread based ROMs.

One more thing. Video recording, too, has noticeable decrease in quality along with decrease in frame rate. But it's quite okay to use. A 720p patch is also available for stock GB based ROMs and lately in CM10 and above too, but the quality is the best in GB ROMs.

if any app is quite better to take good pictures in CM10

Moto-X Camera APK

For anyone sick of the camera lag or HDR being finicky,ive been using the Moto-X Camera APK that I originally came across when I had my S4 (worked perfect on that phone). Tried it on my N5 and works great so far, been using for the last 24 hours without issue.

Link works. How is the moto x camera apk better than ours? Difficult to notice advantages/disadvantages

-Take a picture with one and then other, you'll see the difference!
-Launches faster

Thnx. It has a really nice app interface...
But so far I get a FC when using Panorama. I also can't activate HDR more or the Slo mode? hmmm

I don't think HDR works if you use the Moto X camera app on the N5. It will take a picture but it isn't doing HDR

Sorry guys :-/ Thought HDR was working for me after I clicked it but didnt realize it wasnt selecting. I think ill continue to use this over the stock app though, maybe one of the dev's will see if we cant get HDR working? Ive tried installing the update to this as well (think it came from the t-mobile version) to no avail..

Have a lot of trouble installing it, every time I do it says app not installed, and I have allowed unknown sources and turned off verify apps

Same. Not installed even after putting in system/app folder and deleting stock camera. Also on ART

the camera apk is most likely deodexed, which means not compatible with ART. try disabling art.

I ran into this problem today with the cover lockscreen beta and it would not run on ART, it would install but crash every time it tried to run. So far these are the only two apps that I have had trouble with using ART

switched back to dalvik and it worked fine. thanks

Downloaded the 3.1.5 version that was posted on Google Play and it gives me an error while attempting to install it, maybe the app that was posted here was modified to make it work with other devices?

Im using Dalvik and still getting the App Not Installed error.
Do i need to Root?

What's art?

On Dalvik and rooted.
All good except for the 'Slo' and HDR feature not working.

Works GREAT !!!!!!!

Has anyone gotten Muzei to work? If so what ROM are you on (or stock?)
Thanks!

Hmm...I tried it and ended up with the same result as CM11. I set the wallpaper and it locks my entire tablet up. Are you using a 3rd party launcher by chance? Maybe it is an issue with Nova..

Thanks...I'll give it a shot. It FCS on cm11. I'll try it on a clean install of purity.
Edit: got it to work, but figured out its the blur setting that FCs it for me. I can turn it almost all the wah down and it works, but pictures from reddit are still blurry due to the high resolution of the tablet.

I'm stock and rooted. Works fine for me on any "blur" setting.
