Is there a way to write script or build prop to get the flash of the 4.2 camera working on a custom tw rom? Ive read, searched and tried different permissions for cameras but the 4.2 camera only seems to work on 4.2 aosp custom roms which in turn you lose tw functionality. Amy help or suggestions?

If I understand correctly, you're asking how to use flash without crashing under the 4.2 AOSP camera app, while using a TouchWiz ROM...
Why? The TouchWiz camera app is tailor suited for this very device and thus provides the absolute best results and control over the camera. Being on a TouchWiz ROM means you should absolutely only use the TouchWiz camera app, unless you need to do a Photosphere in which case you use the AOSP one.

I enjoy the simple interface on the 4.2 and it seems that it should be fixable as it is same device. As in... it works with flash correctly if using aosp rom...but with tw rom with aosp mods. The camera fc's if using flash..i was just seeking a possibility to fix this, i guess if it was that easy it would already be baked in?

Pretty much. I have been waiting for this since the 4.2 camera came out and there hasn't been a fix. Some people have no issue whatsoever using it with flash but it's somewhat rare on TW roms. If it was an easy fix you can be sure it would have already been baked in.

You seem to know how to get around so I suggest flashing the latest CM9 nightly For me (and almost everyone ) it works without any probs
I'm using a ROM compiled from the source by a developer here based in the latest google official source (4.0.4) with latest cm9 kernel 3.0.28 wich make the phone FULLY FUNCTIONAL, Check it out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604366
also watch my video in my signature where shows how the roms works.
Right now I'm on hydrogen 14.04 rom,
Its latest AOKP Based,
Everything works except autofocus in main camera and led in video camera...
Will try CM nightly soon

Even being Lazy i can Live without toggles, i rather a clean aosp experience
I suggest ICS Resurrection Remix Pro, amazing rom highly suggest it, it doesnt have toggles to worry about, just base AOKP goodness
Bro Hydrog3n is also AOKP based and moreover , i tried the camera update from westcrip's page and it didn't came to any use ....
Same problems there too just pinch zoom added in UI
Does the LED in camera works for you ?
And what about autofocus without macro mode on ?

The camera drivers for the SGS2 are proprietary which makes it more difficult for devs building from AOSP to get features working with the non-Touchwiz camera app, these issues exist in all AOSP based ROMs for the moment, I'm sure there are devs working on it but it may be quite a while before it works as well as it does on Samsung ROMs for obvious reasons. If you want flawless camera you are more likely to find it on Samsung stock at least in the short term.
But my camera works just fine on cm9

Working and working without bugs are 2 different things, there are still issues with the CM9 camera, and since the OP wanted flawless, I wouldn't call it that at the moment.

Yeah he's absolutely correct...
I've wiped the camera data and video LED started working, but autofocus really needs fixture...
BTW- what is proprietary??
Is it itbsomething that can't be modified or what ?

I don't think you could directly use the camera in stock JB because of difference in frameworks so you would have to search for a ported version or maybe ask whether some of the mod devs to do it for you, but still I think it's rather hard and difficult to do, you will have to contend yourself with something else.
If you're using a stock based rom it would've been easier.

I have found something that you might like

Hi i've seen peoples replies in threads about flashing the Touch wiz camera on CM10.1 and i have been looking all through the forums and i cant seem to find the file to flash so that i can have the touchwiz camera on my CM10.1 ROM. I am using the unofficial CM10.1 with IR blaster support and it works great with watchon but im still looking for that touchwiz camera file/apk to flash. Any help please?

Greetings
If I want to port some applications of the system for more rom, what i do?
For example, if i want port camera of official ROM for a miui ROM,what i do?
Thanks
Yeah you would have to decompile the apk and doo some magic and recompile it again i dont think a sense camera will work on a miui rom use a app from play store instead

If you want the best camera for the amaze then you need to run a sense based ROM. All of the "magic" that allows us to fully utilize the features of our cameras, such as ISO adjustment and continuous autofocus are tied into sense. Every other camera whether it's a standalone or included in another ROM lacks these features as they are proprietary to HTC. So you can experiment trying any camera you like, but unless you're running a sense ROM you have to accept a less capable camera app than the stock one. I hope this clarifies things.
I'm rooting my Verizon Galaxy S4 (16g) with Cyanogenmod but only thing that stops me right now is the camera. The camera on the phone works great with Samsung's camera software. But since I'm moving on from Touchwiz to Cyanogenmod, I'm curious if there is any way to keep the Samsung's camera app on a custom rom. Thank you.
Unfortunately the Samsung Camera App requires the Touchwiz framework. It doesn't work on AOSP roms. You can try the Eclipse rom. It has that AOSP look and feel but is touchwiz based so it has the Samsung Camera app on it. The dialer, settings, contacts, and notification panels are all AOSP.

You can only use it on a TW rom. It hooks into proprietary TW framework that we can't get source code for to port to AOSP.
If you use a GPE rom, such as the one by Danvdh, it's a little different. Since these are built on the GPE device base they're still AOSP roms but they use Samsung drivers for the camera. It's still as not as good as the full TW camera, but with a third party app (Google's camera still sucks) it's the best camera experience you'll get on AOSP on this phone.

All very true.. Have you used that Lenovo Super Camera??? I thougt it was really cool, comparable to the Wiz Camera, just depending on which version you found it either required all sorts of permissions/libraries . if we could scrounge up just an easy to install... No permissions Lenovo that'd be cool

Yeah I tried it right when it got pulled from that Intel phone Lenovo came out with, I've never been much of a camera aficionado though. I thought the gallery app was really cool but a lot of Chinese all over the place lol.
