I recently flashed CM 10.2 on my One and really would like to be able to restore the original sense camera that came with the phone stock.. I downloaded the apk for the Google edition, but it force closes.. Any one have any luck?

I obviously understand it's not working, but I would like to be enlightened as to why it wouldn't.
Because the sense camera relies on the sense framework.

Yea, sorry man it's tied to the sense framework. I did a ton of looking around on how to make it work and it keeps ultimately coming back to this same issue. It can't be done. I flashed over to ARHD just for this reason. I use my camera too often to "settle" for the google version. Catching my toddler with a smile is an act of God so the burst mode shooting just by holding the button is a HUGE help there plus I liked the zoe pics playing in the gallery. Also not to mention the sense cam (in ARHD 31.0 at least) lets you record downscaled for MMS, the latest google cam apk doesn't allow recording in less than 480. So 1-2 sec vids max when you want to share via mms. I recommend looking into ARHD if you liked sense but didn't like all the bloatware.
These guys pretty much nailed it, for an explanation, it would be like taking a double carb high rise intake manifold from a 60s muscle car, and just snapping it down in place and bolting it up, then closing the stock hood while it's installed.
I know that isn't a good analogy because the intake would be easier to pull off, but it's late and I gotta go to be.

With that said, you can try out all the other different cameras available and get much of the same functionality. I use Sony MotionShot for the motion combining shots and Camera Zoom FX for Burst Mode and other effects.
I haven't missed the Sense camera since changing.

Just stumbled across this! That is exactly what I needed on my GPE ROMs. The camera was so blurry and terrible I couldn't take it anymore and went back to a sense ROM. Now I just need a working sense TV on a non sense ROM. Left CM and all the CM based mods because I couldn't take the audio quality or the camera.

sense 4.0 framework differs from sense 3.6, thats simply it.
We can always just try to come up on the camera apk, lib files and just try it. Doesn't hurt.
Or you can download a app from the market until we get it working because I'm pretty sure our phone has the same features

Actually we had ICS for quite a bit, lol.
I've done a lot of research, there is an actual hardware difference in the htc one that makes a few new functions possible, even if we DO get that working on our phone, there won't be ANY different function because we are missing that chip.
Anyways, just go read this, at the very bottom, is explains the new image chip, and what it does.. without that chip(and sense4.0) there would be just about NO difference between our camera app and theirs. http://www.htc.com/www/htc-sense/camera/#page-navi

I would love to have the multishot function. I have a 3 year old and its difficult to get a good picture without him moving.
How do you guys like it? I'm still tempted to go bareback and toss sense out. I gave it a shot, awesome job guys, but don't like how it wants to stuff facebook in my face all the time. If there is a way to reorganize the main page I haven't seen it. Ended up nandroiding back to meanbean 3.09 for now. Runs slick as glass. If I download and install the bareback superlte does that include the camera drivers so there is no loss in quality/functionality?
Also what is svn lol. I just downloaded the sense 5 port directly to my phone and flashed it, s-off, but I keep reading Bout svn. Is that update software? With meanbean I just used the ota updater.
Sorry kinda new

I absolutely love it.
I don't use Facebook either, so I froze it using app quarantine from the play store and it doesn't pop up anywhere anymore.
Svn is a way to get the latest updates without having to download the whole file. It downloads only the parts that have been updated reducing download time.
You also get downloads in advance.
Switching main screen is in the pinch on home screen widgets layout. You hold the screen you want selected in that window and drag it to main.
I love sense 5. Smoothest ROM I've ever had, especially with the arc reactor kernel.
I currently also have a 7582 quadrant score because of the ROM.
Turtlesvn is a svn client (I think that's its name) from there follow the thread listed about svn to get it set up.
I will never go back to sense 4.5 or aosp, they are farrrrr behind sense 5 and I know when you get it figured out you will agree.
Have fun!

svn is a version control system that developers use to check in their code. It allows other devs to pull the changes down to their machines to make sure they're working with the latest files. The sense 5 repository is public, so anyone can pull down the files needed to flash the rom, but it's still intended more for the developers.

I love Sense 5. Personally, I think it's the best thing to happen to Sense. It feels like Cyanogenmod and HTC had a baby. It's zippy, it's smart, it's gorgeous to look at, and it's simple (For some people, too simple lol http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-sense-5-app-drawer-making-simple-complicated )
Link feed is pretty neat I have to say. I can't wait for a working gallery so I can see in person how the zoe moments work. And I can't wait to see how the devs theme it.

I think it's the best version of sense yet. I hate sense and only used it when I needed to do something that wasn't working in AOSP, AOKP, etc. Sense 5 is actually very handy and flexible. The development of the port seems to be coming along very nicely and my hat's of to all of them!
Also, igotlostintampa has done a kicka$$ job of putting together a great FAQ that has helped me greatly in getting this to be a DD.

Sense 5 is the first OEM skin I've ever used that I feel is as cohesive and attractive as stock Android. It's better than Touchwiz, better than not-Blur, better than Optimus UI, and most importantly, WAY better than any prior version of Sense. I think I've finally found an AOSP replacement. I was actually planning to buy an Optimus G on eBay and sell this phone, but Sense 5 has convinced me to stick with the Evo. Using Arc Reactor kernel 0.41 (1.7) along with Sense 5, this phone is pretty close to the G performance-wise despite only having 2 CPU cores.

I initially said I liked Sense 5, but have since changed my mind. I don't like the blink feed being forced on me. I can't remove it nor can I change what page it is. I feel as if HTC just watered Sense down. It is very light. Not so much a UI anymore, buy more of a skin or theme similar to Touchwiz. I know this move will be praised by some, but if you're a fan of Sense, you might be disappointed as I am. I like the Sense widgets. Now they are either watered down to look more AOSP or simply gone. No HTC bookmarks, no HTC Music. Calendar looks weak. I keep flashing the newest daily in an attempt to like it (as this is the future) but I keep coming back to my nandroid. I give the Devs all the respect in the world and this rant is in no way a reflection of my thoughts to their hard work to bring the port to us. I'm grateful to have the ability to try it.

OK. Back to AOKP for me. Tried it for about 2hrs to check it out, and the devs have done an amazing job, but sense is still painful compared to AOKP to me. HTC did do better with multitasking, a lot (unless it was the wicked xda devs that fixed that). Still, sense is too blocky and in my face for me to use.
That said, there were a few cool new features, like if you have a contact that is Google and Facebook , sense gives you option to pick which icon pic. Cool, but doesn't stand a chance against AOKP/Rootbox/slim bean/CM.
Wish I knew what all the sense users see. Hell, there's not even an email widget (which 4.1.2+ has now).

Depends on how much the camera is crippled in AOSP, but I'm certainly going to try it out.
<3 AOSP but the camera software will bet the deal breaker if any.
They said that it will produce comparable images to the Sense version, but obviously stuff like Zoes won't make it over to the AOSP camera. Really interested in trying it out, particularly when it comes to the current AOSP based ROMs and how it will improve them.
I like that it'll have beats all the time.

I just wish the firmware would leak. None of my friends who work at google have access to the android stuff.
The camera issues is what's keeping me from AOSP as it is, I'm ok with losing Zoe but if it can get close to Sense's camera quality, I'll bite.

I picked the One over the S4 mainly because I find sense a lot more tolerable compared to TouchWiz though (especially with nova launcher and google keyboard) - until the GE is out.

Hopefully this brings Sense development back to life for the Evo LTE. I'm not impressed with the One tbh, and never liked Touchwiz. Sprint also still doesn't have 4G of any kind in my area. Verizon might be my next jump.

Basically all third party apps can't access the camera for some reason on this ROM.... (Vine, Snapchat, Instagram)
I forced myself to go back to MeanBean just for Fouth of July so I can video the fireworks. After I was done, I flashed Sense 5 right away lol.
The last time I tried the Sense 5 port, it was fun. But as you all are saying, I use my social media apps a lot, especially Instagram as I am a photographer. So I had to go back to Viper.
I played with AOSP and loved the multiple users feature. I could manage all of my social media accounts from my phone, but the fact that there's no animated .gif support in stock android killed me, as I use those a lot also. Hoping that this update answers both of my problems.

I posted a fix. Search my recent post history. If you try to use the Instagram video your camera will crash however the camera for pictures still works.
So my g2 came in tonight from amazon att on contract for 29 bucks. I assumed I was going to have to root and rom it based on some reviews. My last phone was a nexus 4 with kit kat on it. I always run stock or close to stock android. But I have to tell you, once I put nova launcher and played with my settings..... I don't really see the benifit for me to change it. I didn't expect the phone to be nearly as nice as it is. I thought it would be a sideways move from my n4. But everything about the phone suprisingly great for me so far.
I do wish I could select other apps for the multi tasking window, but whatever.
I'll probably root eventually to get the at and t bloat off. But for now I feel like I got a lot more phone then I bargened for.

I always run stock or close to stock android. But I have to tell you, once I put nova launcher and played with my settings..... I don't really see the benifit for me to change it. I didn't expect the phone to be nearly as nice as it is. I thought it would be a sideways move from my n4. But everything about the phone suprisingly great for me so far.
I do wish I could select other apps for the multi tasking window, but whatever.
I'll probably root eventually to get the at and t bloat off. But for now I feel like I got a lot more phone then I bargened for.

Nice to know, I currently have a N4 and I have been considering this phone. Based on the reviews I wondered if I should wait and see what other phones come out over the next 6 months but your post gives me optimism.
Phone is pretty sweet.
I like the toggles on the device. Battery life is soo good compared to the nexus 5/xperia z1 that i previously owned.
Ive been stuck trying to figure out how to get twrp installed. Even though i read the instructions haha they dont work for me sadly, i suck.
this phone is a beast.
I love this phone and everything that comes with it. I unlocked my bootloader, rooted it, put in a custom recovery and flashed a custom ROM . Then I realized it was better stock. All the custom ROM did was remove the cool stuff and made it look like all my other devices. They weren't nearly so cool when stock so they can stay custom but this baby I put back to stock. Mind you, I left it rooted and with a custom recovery so I can still tweak things but I don't lose all the goodness that this phone is.

I'm glad you like it. and it sounds like you want the same stuff I wanted out of this phone. Look around the forums and find things. For example I am running cleanrom just to get the crap off of it and its still like LG Stock except the crap and i am using Nova to look "Vanilla". Also I used Xposed Framework to change a few things around the way I like it. There is also a thread on here to use split view. its a port from the LG G Flex and works excellent. This is the link to set up Split view. Check out my screen shot to see some of the Xposed mods you can get to make it yours.
This dev forum got a lot more attention than I expected and its paying off bit time also just makes this phone that much more awesome.
I uploaded some pics of the Split-view along with some Qslide apps open too.
One last thing, This thread makes the Camera WAYYY Better.
Definitely impressed by the g2 even 2 months later. ...

For people with custom roms, did you loose the stock features of the camera? For instance, did you loose the different camera modes like burst shot? I really like that feature to take pics of my dogs.

Yes and that's one of the reasons I went back to stock... Stock and rooted

I've been thinking about going back to stock as well because of all the features I miss. Mostly the text messages popping out

Since there are all these mods and debloating possibilities available there really is no need to use a custom ROM - not only on the G2, but on many other devices as well. It's just a bit more work; but hey, isn't that part of the modding / flashing fun?

I agree and it keeps the devices unique. I find that the phones become more generic. All the stuff is the same. You just might be able to change the color on one before the other catches up. Even from one device to the next, all the custom ROMs end up looking the same.
To be fair though, in a some cases
it is a definite benefit. I would never be running kitkat on my Note without a custom ROM. The battery improvements can be huge as well.
So I guess it's the device, benefits and good ole personal preferences. Regardless, isn't it wonderful to have the choice? And the hard work these people do to create these ROMs, for free, is amazing. Either way we're lucky.

Mines still stock rom. I did root, flash a few mods, and Xposed. Has all the features I want from a custom rom but several LG specific perks like Popup Calls, SplitView, Floating apps, etc.

Kit Kat vs jelly bean is a totally different animal. When I swapped over its immediately noticeable how much snappier the whole thing is
You'll get bored eventually and will try aosp/cm rom. But with G2 there's always option to use both end whenever you want to

mine is in the mail.... thanks for the different views on stock and modding....
So day 2 or 3 now. Took it to work today and battery lasted easily twice as long with very heavy use then my n4. I even ingressed and didn't need to charge it.
I'll hvae to look into the split screen mod, that would be pretty useful.
The ONLY irritating thing that I've not been able to simply fix is the volume for google now is the same volume adjustment for the keyboard. I like a nice quiet but audible keyboard and a loud voice with google now, I'm sure I'll figure out a way, but its not readily obviouious how.
I thought I'd end up rooting it the first day because I had the latest and gratest kit kat on the n4, but I've got no desire to do it. I'm sure I'll get board and do something different eventually. Just cant leave well enough alone.
I just picked up my n4 to copy the ringtones over to the g2, and what did I do? tried to turn it on looking for a button on the back. Already trained!
Seriously I think this is the sleeper phone of the year. I snickerd at my friends n5 today. I told him it was cute and it was a poser's development phone. I was only half way joking.
