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:

As a CM 10.1 user, I know that by default we are given the stock camera with photosphere. At the same time I've loved features on the CM camera like power shutter. That alone is a huge feature especially with these devices getting larger and larger it's ergonomically more difficult to manipulate the device with 1 hand.
I understand that pulling Gallery2.apk from a CM10.1 ROM is sufficient to get the CM camera working side by side with the stock camera. However, how would I get it to stay as a system app after updating the ROM to a newer nightly? I believe there's some addon.d scripting, and I'm not too good with scripts and stuff.
My request:
- Be able to use CM camera and stock camera side by side
- Be able to flash a newer nightly and have the CM camera persist
- Also update the CM camera when flashing a nightly as CM camera may have new merges (like the recent HDR addon)
If anyone can help, that would be great.
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
Hi guys,
So here's my doubt as in the title. I'm running Danvdh GE-based 4.4.2 ROM, which is almost stock with some small power user customizations. I woudln't complain about it if it wasn't for Google's stubborness to disable the SD card access.

As you can see, it not only seems to be a bug, but the trend. I was coping with it with the hopes they'd find a solution/workaround, but it seems Google's way to go implies disabling your SD card. And I have a 64GB SD card, because I want to keep movies/pictures/backups. I DO want to use it.
My biggest concern is CM's performance when dealing with the camera, as they didn't have access to the Samsung's firmware (and I heard several people mentioning it doesn't perform very well on difficult situations, not to mention broken HDR). Is it possible to replace the stock camera with GE version?
Anyone?
Mod the relevant libs and the camera app and you are good to go
Is there finally at least one normal solution to get surround shot mode (aka photo sphere, 360 photo, vr panorama, orb) at samsung galaxy S4 GT-I9505? I want it to work fast, save images to SD card, use samsung camera's drivers.
Stock camera is well, but there is not such mode there. There is easy way to make surround panoramas, but it has some incomfortabilities:
There is Google camera, which has photo sphere mode, but it has poor settings and can only save pictures in internal storage, not on the SD card. Is it possible to make Google's camera to be a "system application" to be possible to write to sd?
Also I have found an easy solution to install apk from here. It is stock camera from google play edition smartphone. It do not requires root. It was for Android 4.2, but apk works normally on Lollipop. It also has poor settings and saves only on intermal storage.
It seems, that for making good pictures the solution (for me for now) is keeping stock camera with its cool features (autofocusing, animated picture, etc) and one of above cameras for spherical shots.
But also I wanted to ask, maybe there is a solution to port one of samsung's devices camera, which has surround mode to galaxy s4? I think that should be good, due to samsung are using specific hardware drivers for their camera and shots should be bettes quality.
I did a discovery about what cameras has such mode.
As I understand, Note 4 camera has no such mode. But Note 3 camera has.
In this thread they say that they ported Note 3 camera to sgs4. But it is for Android 4.4.2. Is it possible to install it on Lollypop? Because in that case I could keep only single camera application on smart phone.
I also tried that s5 camera port on stock lollypop 5.0.1, but it did not worked for me.
As I understand, in s5 and s6 cameras there is surround mode, but you need to separately download it from galaxy apps.
I tryed to install that ROM which include S6 camera, but in Galaxy apps there is no even one application. So is there a way for somebody extract needed apk from Galaxy apps store (by installing on their S6 for example and extract from file system) and publish it for s4 users?
So, exprienced developers, please help.
This is a very simple poll:
How many are using AOSP apps instead of G-Apps on their device?
I.e. avoid G-Apps altogether (perhaps pico just to get the Play Store) and simply use the AOSP ones that came with the ROM.
My own device is pretty much "Google" since I both use G-Apps (and other apps) instead of the AOSP ones.
For myself only camera is not gapps. Reason is cm snap have got more functional advantages. E.g. Manual settings, external storage and very smooth slo-mo vid etc.

Snap is coming in the next RR build and it looks like it is here soon.
Not G Apps, but not AOSP either. I've been able to find functional replacements for Google apps that don't require a VPN to use in China, and that's all I really care about.
