First off this is not my work! See thread HERE for download! I simply downloaded and tested it running ParanoidAndroid 2.5x. It should work on any AOSP/CM10 rom.
Instructions:
1. Download the 4.2Camera.zip.
2. Place the zip file on the root of your phone’s storage.
3. Reboot into your recovery.
4. Just in case, make a backup.
5. Flash the 4.2Camera.zip file. (No need to wipe anything)
6. Once installed, reboot your phone.
*Optional: Rename Gallery2.apk to something like Gallery2.apk.bak, or you'll have two Camera apps.
*You can revert back to stock camera by removing .bak from the gallery 2.apk and deleting galaxy4.apk
*Photosphere is not working yet.

Here is another camera for AOSP/CM10 based roms. It is basically a mod for the stock CM camera...it incorporates mores features similar to touchwiz such as the ability to save pics to ext. sd and burst shot. I tested it on the GN2 and it works perfect even tho its says for S3.

a little off topic, but have you or anyone tried bootmannager on the gn2?
edit>never mind, i did a litle research and it is not compatible with our phone
so, why wont this work on touchwiz? Only asking becuause I flashed the same 4.2 camara zip I used on my gnex on my buddys tmobile note 2 and it worked fine and so did panorama mode. I haven't tried it on my phone yet, just because I kind of forgot about it and the only reason would be panorama mode which is more of a gimmick than a need. The stock touchwiz camara is pretty sweet.
Also on the aosp 4.2 camara I had problems with all my pictures being blurry. I had to manually tap the screen to focus and or take 2 pics in rapic succession to get a clear one and then delete the blurry one. pita.
Thanks. I can test it out if you think its worth it.

the framework is normally different between touchwiz and aosp apps..but it might. make a nandroid flash it and report back!
Is it possible to make the default save location for photos the Sd card instead of internal memory? I didn't see it in the settings.

on the aosp mod it is but not the 4.2 cam. go into camera settings and scroll to the bottom.
to be honest, the only thing holding me back from flashing aosp roms are not wanting to lose the external sd card backup i have on twrp and gps issues, although i don't want to lose s pen really so it would be just to check it out. I am also not confident that once I flash cwm I will be able to go back to twrp easily.

Sorry, I didnt respond sooner. I flashed it and everything works fine exept for flash. If I have flash turned on it freezes and force closes. But photosphere works fine. Im not experienced enough to diagnose what is making the flash mess things up. Btw. Flash does turn on and stay on for about 5 seconds before it does a normal flash and fc's the app. Just to be clear for anyone reading this I am talking about the 4.2 camera that I already had from my galaxy nexus and not the one from this thread.
http://db.tt/GMD9WQKw here is a dropbox link to the file. Its not my work. I will try to figure out where I got it so i can give credit.
Tried to figure out where i got it (think it was android police) and the file seems to be available everywhere. Cant seem to pin it down and I dont see credit given on any of the posts or download links. So please forgive me. I tried.

That is what I run. So yes. It works. I have had issues if I have flash turned on. I suggest using the stock camera if you need flash and using aosp if u want to play with photosphere.

Hello,
I've been on stock kernel/OS since I bought my unbranded I9100 some time ago, that means Gingerbread 2.3.4, I9100XXKI1, Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI4-CL575468 (rooted, of course).
I'm thinking about trying CM9 or CM10, just for fun. I think I know pretty well what to expect, but am trying to figure out if there are things I will be missing. As far as I can tell, the following will change significantly:
- Touchwiz launcher replaced, of course. No biggie.
- Swype will be gone, right? I played around with CM way back, and there seemed to be some discussions about how to take Swype with you, but I assume this will be rather hard when going from Gingerbread to JB? Or is there a good way to keep it (without buying it separately)? I like it rather a lot...
- The four hubs (Social Hub etc.) will be gone. Good riddance, as well, I've never used any of them.
- I've not used any of the Samsung remote features (to locate a stolen/lost device; OTA, or KIES), so I guess they will be gone, but I won't miss them.
Is there anything else I've missed that's been added by Samsung? I want to avoid a problem where I don't actually notice anything important missing at first, and then noticing weeks later...
Thank you for your time!
I noticed my camera was missing on one of them.

No tv out. No fm radio. If swype is the keyboard typing style, i dont think thats gone, but i will check.
Camera is still better in stock touchwiz. Also, clear ram from recent apps isnt there.

You could use titanium backup to backup all of your (system) apps. If something (important) turns out to be missing, you can restore it easily. Apart from that, flash it, you won't be disappointed. Good luck with exploring all the possibilities.

Apps only in touchwiz wont work in aosp roms since they are deeply integrated within the touchwiz framework, so no use backup app system apps nor system data. Restoring system data may cause problems ranging from bootloops to force closes.

Alright, the clock. I use that a lot, all of it (alarm + timer + stopwatch). That would be a bummer to loose, I guess there will be some useful replacements on the market though.
There are plenty of camera apps around. Can I safely assume that the picture quality (as it is) will be the same as with the stock camera app? I use the camera for taking pictures, I need no effects, online stuff etc. around photos. In fact I am not that happy with the stock camera, as I find it tough to shoot a photo when I don't see the screen... so I'll be happy to hunt for a camera app that supports some of the hardware buttons for shooting.

Well yes, but I'll have to register/pay for it, or don't I?

Thanks a lot, again.

This mod is not made by me, I take no credit for it.
I found a working camera mod on the One X forums.
It gives your phone's camera a number of extra features like changing compression settings, better image adjustments and more!
known issues:
- Slow motion camera is currently broken.
- Installing this mod on ATT 1X+ doesnt work (can be fixed by manually replacing the apk in system/app).
For more information, install instructions and download link, visit the origional thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890547
Install this mod at your own risk, I take no responsibility if it broke your phone.

I tried to take some pictures today, but the picture compression doesnt seem to be doing anything anymore.
Maybe it's the new v5 update or maybe it's because I recently switched to the elegancia ROM.
Can anyone confirm if v5 also has this bug on other ROMs?
Anyhow the other extra settings do still work, like video compressions(which is really noticeable) and the audio compression from videos.
Also the extra steps in the image adjustments settings are noticeable.
If anyone wants me to upload a few videos with diffrent compressions, I'll try to make some time for it.
Break slow motion video capture for me, but the increased image quality heavily outweighs this con, would still like to get it working though, does it work for everyone else?
it also seemed to brake my slo-mo camera.
But I can live without it too. i like the new video quality, and the framerate which is more stable
I tested the photo compression again, and it does seem to be working. May have been a temporary bug yesterday.
I'll try to post some photos later!
Hi, have problem with Panorama function... it doesn't work: take the first shot, ask to move the camera and when I finished (if it doesn't return ad error because I'm too fast) it doesn't make any panorame, only the fist shot !
My configuration is in my sign... I'm doing something wrong ?

I have no idea, my panorama mode seems to be working fine.
My guess is reinstalling the mod, and if that doesnt work you might want to check out the origional mod page.
I've been a bit busy the past few days so the compression comparison pictures will come later.
Has anyone else been able to get this mod working on an AT&T HOX+? It doesn't seem to make any difference when I flash it on my phone.
Thanks.
I installed it on my AT&T one manually replacing the apk in system/app/ and is working so far.

You have to extract the apk from the zip file using a file explorer, copy the camera.apk to system/apps and set permissions to r-w-r-r, then reboot.
Note: Looks like this camera apk drains the battery faster.

I tried install and run it. Looks like it works at setting but do not know how to activate it.

Hi
Yes I did....it would launch, but close after few sec.
I posted a msg in the forum, they said that the TW dialer, MMS, etc won't work on this ROM because of the incorporation of aosp code.
I love the ROM, seems smooth and light, but cant stand the dialer/mms...haha
It seems in my situation, the only 2 roms that have no issues where everythign works is HD and Exlipse. HD I like the interface, Eclipse, I like the smoothness, and battery life....

RoidDroidVoid's LG V20 Silent Camera Mod
(Now with Less Sound!)
THERE IS A BUG THAT CAUSES A FORCE CLOSE WHEN SWITCHING TO SELFIE CAM
ATTENTION: I am re-posting the download links for those of you that do NOT care about the selfie camera. I have been using this mod since I first made it but I never use the selfie camera so please take this into consideration before deciding to use this mod for now.
I am working to resolve this issue and I'll post an update as soon as it is fixed.
***IMPORTANT - If you accidentally click the camera switch button, it will keep force closing until you clear the camera app data.***
Since there are no negative repercussions to clearing the camera app data, it hasn't been much of a bother to me personally.
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for any harm that may be caused by your negligence, my mods, apps, kernels, ROMs or anything else! This is not likely to cause any major issues but in the unlikely event that anything does go wrong, remember, you FLASH AND/OR INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK! Backing up first is always a good idea.
This replaces the stock LG Camera app with my modified Silent Camera app. No more jarring and distracting camera noises!
This is based on the 10d Camera app for the time being. I am moving to the 10j Camera on the next version. That version will not have the selfie bug. (I'm absolutely determined that it won't. :fingers-crossed
You MUST be rooted! I have only tested this on my H918 LG V20 (which is on Tilde88's NotSoStock ROM) so let me know if it works for you and what model you have so I can add the info to this post.
This is in ALPHA. Once the only known issue (broken selfie cam) is resolved, I'll increment the version and update this post.
I have included the APK if you'd rather handle the camera replacement yourself. (Copy to /system/priv-apps/LGCameraApp then remove the existing LGCameraApp.apk and make sure the correct permissions are set)
I have also included a TWRP flashable ZIP. (Flash from TWRP)
At the very bottom of this post, you will find the stock camera as both a flashable ZIP and the APK if you want to return to stock.
I hope everyone enjoys the fruit of my labor! If you do, please let me know!
*** Please DO NOT use my work in your ROM or otherwise include it in your work without giving credit where credit is due! ***
*** As long as you give due credit, you may use my mod without my permission! ***
I may make further enhancements to the camera app in the near future but I couldn't think of anything else to improve yet.
(Thank you Jeep447 for finding and reporting selfie bug)
(LG built the camera, I just silenced it.)

APK Only - HERE
To restore the stock camera you may either flash the following ZIP or manually replace the APK which you can find below as well.

Thanks, testing it now! I created a titanium backup in case there's issues. If it's easy and on hand would be great if you could create a restore package with the stock.
So does this camera mod decreases the added noise LG adds to there camera or is this a mod to remove camera sounds (audio)?

Good idea. I'll put it together now and post it in a few minutes. How did your testing go?
EDIT: Done. See original post for links.

This mod removes the loud annoying camera sounds. Are you referring to visible noise?
Thank you for your work on this but I'm on a rooted stock H-918 V20 (T-Mobile) and unfortunately the manual way is not working for me, I renamed the original Apk, copied the one you provided to the same folder, corrected the permissions, and then rebooted.
Once it booted up the camera app and icon were there and looked like normal, and when I first opened the camera everything looked good and I was even able to take a picture from the rear camera. The problem is whenever you swipe across the screen to switch it to the front camera it almost immediately force closes (and then every time you open the app after that it just keeps force closing until you clear data so it'll open with the rear cam first again), so then I tried clearing the app cache and data and then it'll open like normal again but anytime I'd try switching to the front camera it would always force close?
Anyway just thought I'd mention it and see if I'm possibly doing something wrong? I didn't flash the zip because I wanted to be able to revert back but now that I've backed up the original Apk once I finish my nand backup in TWRP I'll give it a shot and post the results. If you have any suggestions or need more info from me just let me know and I'd be happy to help anyway I can, thanks again!
Edit : One step I did that I forget to mention is that I renamed the Apk that you provided so it was exactly the same name as the one I was replacing, and I'm pretty sure that's what you're supposed to do but just thought I'd mention it just in case I wasn't supposed to. Thanks

When I first tested, I wasn't seeing the FC but I just checked it again and I can verify that it is FCing when the camera is swapped. Thank you for testing and reporting the issue!
I will figure out the issue and post a new link when the problem is resolved. In the meantime, I posted the original APK and a flashable ZIP to return the stock camera.
(BTW - Renaming is fine but it is not necessary)
I hope to turn this around tonight but it's really late here so I might not get the links back up until tomorrow.

Hey RoidDroidVoid, i had a similar experience to others--appeared to flash ok and camera would initially open but then FC when going to selfie mode. Also I still had shutter sounds when taking pics. Is it supposed to silence camera entirely? If so let me know where the setting for that is.
Also as an FYI, my titanium backup did not restore correctly so i had to restore my NAND backup. Just so others know to use that method on future mods that involve system apps.
Thanks for you efforts!

Instead of having to go through all of that and having to restore a nand backup all you have to do is use a file manager and go into SYSTEM - PRIV-APP - LGCAMERAAPP and make a copy of LgCameraApp.apk and save it somewhere on your SD card, that way if something is goes wrong you can always just copy it back to that folder and you're good to go [emoji106]

Yeah that's actually why I didn't flash the zip at first and just did it manually, because that way if something went wrong I could just go right back to the way it was without a lot of work. That was also before the OP posted a "Revert back to stock" zip though, so now that he has whenever he releases an updated zip I'll just go ahead and flash it this time.. because if something goes wrong it's as easy as flashing the revert zip to go back to normal.
It's always a good idea to make a backup before you do any kind of mod though because it's better to be safe than sorry, I guess it's just my luck but for me at least it seems like everytime I do something without making a backup first, it always happens to be the time something goes horribly wrong lol. So yeah it doesn't take too many times of having to start all over again from scratch before you learn that it's always best to have a backup first before trying something lol!

Thanks for letting me know your experience. I know the camera swap issue is present as we've already covered but I don't understand the shutter sounds you are hearing. I am unable to reproduce this issue which has me a little confused.
Is it possible then that you have the sounds saved in the '/system/media/audio/ui' folder still? On most phones, removing or renaming the relevant files in that folder will remove the camera sounds but LG decided to embed their noises and compile them into the app. I did not think to remove them with the package since I didn't notice any reference to them in the code and removing them did not remove the sounds.... but they may be causing the issue which would be interesting.
Maybe Jeep can tell us whether or not he renamed or deleted the external camera oggs beforehand. I did that first and forgot about their existence after that failed to remove the noises.
Let me know and, in the meantime, I'll see what happens if I put them back.

I have been bogged down at work and losing sleep so I did not get a chance to resolve the issue. What I did do is get a logcat and do my best to analyse it. Also, I rather thoroughly tested every aspect of the modded app and it seems that the camera swap is the only functional problem. Maybe you could confirm the same?
I think I'm onto the source of the camera swap issue but I'll need to pull everything apart and start over to see if my hunch is right so please be patient (not that you haven't been).
Also, thanks for helping jay.
I just got done with work so I'll try to accomplish something this evening. I hate it when work gets in the way of the things I'd rather be doing.
On an unrelated note - I wish your Coleco tag was true... that would be bada$$. :laugh:

I know exactly what you mean because work is always getting in the way of the things that I always want to do too, but it's just a vicious circle because without work I wouldn't be able to afford to do the things I want to do anyway lol!
Anyway no worries at all man take your time and if there's anything I can do to help please let me know and I'll be happy to do whatever I can for ya, I pretty much came to the same conclusion about switching cameras being the only problem because it was the last thing I hadn't tried and everything else worked like it should. I did not mess with any of the camera .ogg sound files and the shutter sound was muted on mine so that's just strange, the only thing for me that wasn't working right was the switching cameras and everything else was golden.
And yeah I wish my tag could be true too [emoji23] [emoji23]!!
I mean I'm good and everything but I'm not THAT good!! LOL

Just thought I'd check but I'm assuming you must've hit a road block on this unfortunately? Either way thank you again for the time and effort you put into this because it's much appreciated!

Hey... sorry I did not abandon this. I recently started a business and business has been pretty good so I have neglected more than this project lately.
Tomorrow I would like to give another shot at getting the selfie cam to work without the fc issues.
If you are on 10j, could you pm me and we can coordinate so you can test?
I haven't updated at all but the versions are likely different now so I'll grab what I need from the new rom. I don't want to take the time to upgrade right now so maybe I can get this done without.
I have been using my silent modded camera and I'm very pleased with it but I don't use the selfie cam like ever. It does suck pretty bad, however, if I accidentally hit the button with my hand and then have to go through resetting app data.
Let me know if you would like to help me expedite the fix.
Thanks!

No need to apologize at all man I completely understand, I actually run my own business too so I know exactly how easy it is for things to get lost in the shuffle!
I'll do whatever I can to help out but I hate to say it though I'm actually still on 10d too, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing but I'll pm ya either way and see if I can still help! Thanks for responding and no worries at all I'm glad to hear your business is going well man.. that's what's really important!!
