Help, my XZU camera is gone. - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hi, I've installed the Lenovo super cam on my XZU, but it seems like it replaced the stock camera and now it's gone. I already deleted the Lenovo camera, but the stock never showed up.
I've been looking this forums for the stock camera, but seems like they are hundreds of camera apps but the stock one. Any idea how to get it back? Or where to get a copy of the original one? Besides a complete wipe, because I've just format and reinstall all my apps, and I don't want to do it again.
Thanks in advance.

Not the answer you want, but the stock camera is crap. try "a better camera".
You should be able to keep all the installed apps/data by flashing the latest FTF and make sure that the wipe data option is not selected

try Google official camera app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
or
camera zoom fx - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom
Hit THANKS if I helped

Hi, Thanks for your sugestions
I started to looking for ways to get it back, until I remember That I can uninstall updates, and so I did. Uninstalled the camera updates and voila .
Actually the camera isnt That bad, specially when you install the Z2 addons, and use the Cybershot module of Xposed Framework, wich allow to Take photos in full res.
I've used the other cameras, but to Take pictures with pacient, for quick shots of random thingslile wire sets, diagrams and That kind of pics , the stock camera is ok.

Android Market cannot download apps :(

I think iI may have broke my Android Market!
Can still access the Market, but when I try and download an app, its shows the downloading progress bar and then just does nothing. It worked before.
I have been zapping a load of apps recently using Titanium Backup, could that have broke my downloading abilities?
Got a feeling it may be some of the google apps I removed, like google talk, even though I never use them.
Could anyone point me in the right direction to the x10 mini 2.1 stock app .apks?
Much appreciated
Maybe it's what you done with Titanium backup.
Try this first :
Go to Settings -> Applications -> "Menu" button -> Select "All". Then search Android market, clic on, and now clic on "Force stop" first, then "Wipe cache" and "Wipe data" ! Then reboot your phone and check if it's working
If it don't work, reflash your phone using SEUS !

This should be stickied but NEVER, EVER, EVER freeze, delete or even look at any of the Google Apps (any of the apps that say "Google..."), those apps are necessary in order for the system to work correctly, so by removing Google Talk you basically broke your Market.
Just restore a backup (if you have one), reflash the Google Apps or reflash your entire ROM, because I don't think there's a way to reinstall Google Talk.
Okay, looks like I'll have to start from scratch again then.
If I reinstall Android using the sony software, I take it I will lose all apps and root?
I think in future I'll avoid removing bloatware
Yeah, flashing the Sony ROM will wipe your phone clean, but hey it's not that hard to root and flash a custom ROM, just look around for tutorials and you'll be good to go
Was looking at the minicm6 rom, but can't really see the pro's outweighing the con's on using a custom rom. From what I understand, some things like camera and wireless are buggy.
Think I'll stick to the official 'stable' 2.1

Actually, MiniCM6 1.0.0 is pretty much stock ROM stable and has all the functionality of it, I use it every day and it works perfectly, what you have to weigh in the pro/cons is MiniCM7 as the Camera is still stuck on 640x480 instead of 5MP.
Right, flashed minicm6 rom, loaded and run okay, but just didn't like it.
Flashed back to stock 2.1 using sony software, everything back to normal, marking downloading again
On;y thing now is when I plug my phone into computer, it doesn't give the option to install pc companion anymore, just charge or connect. Not that I'm really too bothered though...

[Q] [REQ] Help INSTALL - Stock GS3 Camera - ONTO Modded Rom (Paranoid-rom)

I need help installing the STOCK GS3 Camera app & Gallery to my Paranoid-ROM v2+.
I'm a not a frequent poster to XDA but i have read many a posts so I know a thing or two (At least 2 things total =P).
I also know I NEED HELP to do this, since I'm still a novice compared to many of you on this site.
Since I don't know enough, I've tried some controlled experiments below... ok I tried brute forcing it through various combinations. But after about 6 hours of reading and attempts, I'm out of ideas and with nothing to show for it.
I used the following files so far:
SamsungCamera_HX-MOD.zip
Camera_HX-MOD_1.52_CWM.zip
-----
A SUMMARY OF ATTEMPTS:
I have downloaded HX Mod, Stock Camera app.
Enabled root for Apps and ADB.
Copy & Paste-
Experimented with permissions settings in Root Explorer for the Stock Camera app to read/write/execute, set uid, set guid, sticky
All install attempts failed
CWM
Experimented with a mix of copying camera apps, and flashing zip.
I never saw one single new file after flashing any zips, be it the camera, or the camera mod. Also tried subsequent zip flashing of camera zip first followed by the HX mod 2nd and a reboot, still no new files displayed.
-----
What I've gleaned so far, if it helps you help me:
The Gallery apk of the Paranoid-ROM has a built in activity shortcut for the camera, camera prefrences, and video camera.
I theorize replacing the gallery will remove the camera app and video app, freeing any conflicts, but I DONT KNOW ENOUGH of what steps I am missing to sucessfully install the STOCK GS3 Cam, and gallery in its place.
-----
ANY HELP would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Thanks in advance.
you can.t have stock samsung camera in aosp/aokp/cm9/cm10 roms. you can try aosp camera from themes&aps,have similar features like stock samsung camera.

Camera Disabled

I haven't used the stock or xcam camera apps for several days. I make android backups frequently (3 or 4 times a week) but don't keep more than the last 3. I am running Jasmine 4.0 as my DD with SkyDragon 2.7.4.1 kernel. This DD worked perfectly for me, camera included, for several days .
I have done lots of everyday experimenting type stuff but always returned to my Jasmine DD. Last night I wanted to use the camera and it is broken. It is broken on my last surviving nandroid. I don't have a clue what messed it up. If I install Jasmine 4.0 clean the camera works. But it takes a lot of time to get the heavily modded system back to the way I want it if I have to start over.
I have tried refreshing the LG apps and "other" apps from the Jasmine OP but it didn't correct the problem. I also noticed that I can't get the torch to work. I use lightflow but tried freezing it and rebooting and the problem remains. Before I give up and have to start from scratch again, does anyone have any suggestion as to what else to try? Thanks -
If you have the Xcam in your download folder. Just uninstall the Xcam and then move the Xcam to system app, fix permission, install from there and reboot.
Thanks for quick reply but I didn't have xcam in d/l folder.
Sorry, wasn't finished...
I uninstalled xcam and rebooted - cam app still messed up. I click on cam icon and get black screen with the "back" icon in lower left corner. I haven't changed anything camera related for weeks. I have installed LG apps from Jasmine OP but do not see com.LG.cam in link2sd app. I'm stumped.
Did you move the Xcam app to system app, change permission, installed in system app?
I uninstalled the xcam app. The native cam app is still hosed. Am I missing something? Probably so....

Maybe something broke the camera app, did you try flashing a rom or a backup with a working camera app, pull the .apk from it, flash your backup your having trouble with and re-install the apk? just a thought....
I wound up throwing in the towel and flashed SkyDragon 2.0.1 and am loving it. I tried everything I could think of after doing what android-incredible suggested and still had no camera. Clean flashing a ROM was my final choice but glad I did. Camera is back.

[Q] Change Lockscreen Default Camera OC1

I'm trying to figure out how to change the default camera app that opens, from stock camera to Google Camera when entering from the stock lockscreen. I am on @muniz_ri's stock Lollipop ROM (non-MDK version).
On Kit Kat, a default app-picker dialogue box would appear and I could choose which camera app I wanted to default to. Apparently, Samsung decided it would be better to force feed us their camera app.
I tried: Opening Contacts> add contact picture> take picture> choosing stock camera, then: Task Manager> clear defaults> clear camera from list...to no avail.
Anyone know of a way to achieve this?
If you want to, you could try this.
Backup first.
Try renaming the Samsung camera apk to.bak , then rename the Google camera to the original Samsung apk name, reboot, and give it a try.
If things blow up, revert renaming, or restore backup if necessary.

I thought about doing that. But I haven't flashed the deodexed version, and the stock camera is odexed, while Google Camera isn't. I'm afraid that might present a bit of an issue. And also, Touchwiz's camera has deep ties into the kernel.

Android 6 for LG-P712?

Hello, community! I was wondering if there's any Android 6 rom for LG Optimus L7 II (P712). I was told that CyanogenMod supports through CM13 a lot of LG devices but P712. But I decided to give it a shot anyway and I will share my experience with you.
I took the risk yesterday and I installed CM13 on my cel phone. The installation process was perfect (I used ClockworkMod Recovery), I also installed Gapps perfectly. I rebooted my device and it loaded and updated all the apps (it took like 10 minutes). After that, I had to setup my wifi network, google account, etc. Everything was good so far, but then, when the menues loaded my camera and radio fm weren't shown. The rest of the apps were right there and it recognized my wifi and mobile service provider like a charm (I called and texted myself from another phone). But... after a couple of minutes a pop-up started to show up saying "Unfortunately, Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped" and since there, it was a nightmare haha. I couldn't access to my keyboard at all. I understand it's an issue with CyanogenMod and they are trying to fix it.
But after that situation, I decided to flash my device using "Flash Tools 2014" and Android 4.4. If any of you know about another rom with android 6, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
What gapps was used,and which cm13 build?Seems P712 is all like my P713,and on mine i got no lags(excepting camera app,just needs to install another camera and delete stock one).

Hi DS_katauri, thanks for your reply. About gapps, I tried to install different packages (mini, full, nano, stock), I downloaded them from opengapps. But it seems many people are reporting issues like the one I had. Btw, the rom I used was the "cm-13.0-20160330-UNOFFICIAL-vee7-RC2" (I'm a new user so I can't attach links... I downloaded it from androidfilehost, the user who uploaded it has useful things there). Thanks again, for your reply!!

Yep,Neutrondev made a lot of pretty things for our LG.
About ROM,try this one(latest build from Weritos) ,use version for 713 and gapps provided.IDK will CWM work,if no use Neutrondev's TWRP 3.020.Also,gapps should be installed after ROM but before 1st start.Lags are - built-in camera(use snap hdr and delete stock camera and gallery via root),wifi(sometimes connects only manual),no function on qmemo button(not critical at all)...And a specific feature - no internal card only SDcard I'm using it now(actually writing from it).Only three apps make me angry,katemobile(russian vk.com social network alternative client) - can stuck phone(idk why),viber v5x or v6x(both can FC in unknown reason,v4x all okay),and Opera4android(chinese idiots forget the "clean cache" button).
Oh,and launcher,Nova still remains the best.
Good luck and don't forget to backup your current ROM to SD.
Hi DS_katauri, thanks for your reply and all the info you shared with me. Unfortunately, it didn't work on my smartphone. Yesterday, I installed the rom and gapps by Weritos but the camera didn't work at all, it kept asking me for my sd-card (even after I formatted it). For the same reason, I couldn't download photos, take screenshots or anything. And I couldn't install whatsapp because it wasn't compatible with my device anymore, so I had to give up. Thanks anyway for all your help!!

I told U to try snap camera,then play with settings to allow writing on sd(this stuff makes me mad too)Also,opencamera and first version of CyanogenCamera should work too.And,whatsapp,install it not from market.
Will look on new release of Weritos CM13 soon,probably it will help
