[2012-12-26]Announcement :
The Developing of this project will stop for a while ,cause i have a very important studying year ,my whole career future will depend on it ,not to mention the war situation in my country and the shortage of all life basics services [electricity ,food ,water ,etc]
so there will be no more developing until 01\july\2013
Sorry for the bad news
Goal :
Port Sony Camera to AOSP Roms (CM9,CM10,FXP,AOKP) for all Xperia MDPI devices and maybe for HDPI also
Story :
This Thread Was Started as A question
The Idea is To make the Sony Camera App the default camera app in CM9/CM10 since it's a lot prettier and also the AOSP Camera app has a small Function bar that looks ugly
Then as there is a lot of People looking up for this the Thread Turned to a Request :highfive:
Update 2012-July-06 :
I tried to port the Camera App and Libs from Mini CM Sandwich AOSP v4
The Rom has SemcCamera update in case you didn't want the AOSP camera look
I made a falshable zip (MiniCM port.zip attachment) of the ported files and flashed it to FXP CM9 Build 132
The Original Camera still working after flashing (because Mini CM Sandwich is AOSP based so the both roms have the same libs ,at least for the camera)
After Flashing the system updated it's apps But the SemcCamera didn't appear in the app drawer
After that I ported the Libs and Camera Apps from Stock firmware 4.1.B.0.431 and made a flashable zip (Stock port.zip attachment) with them and flashed them to FXP CM9 Build 132
after flashing the system has update also but the Original CM9 Camera didn't work (force closing) because the difference in the libs
as for the SemcCamera it didn't appear in the app drawer also :crying:
So, Any one knows what to do ?? (Please Help) :fingers-crossed:
My Device Is Xperia Mini Pro SK17i
Here's the files I ported from both Stock and Mini CM Sandwich
Code:
\system\app\CameraExtensionPermission.apk
\system\app\SemcCameraUI.apk
\system\lib\hw\camera.semc.so
\system\lib\libcamera_client.so
\system\lib\libcamera_clientsemc.so
\system\lib\libcameraextensionclient.so
\system\lib\libcameraextensionjni.so
\system\lib\libcameraextensionservice.so
\system\lib\libcameralight.so
\system\lib\libcameraservice.so
a Friend minachvim said in a post to me (see the full conversation here)That this problem was solved in Xperia X10 Mini Pro in a rom maybe called sony style by paul-xxx
I found the Rom but nothing about Sony Camera Mentioned ,Any one knows about this !?
That's All ,Sorry for writing a lot ,but it's better to answer all question that might be in your Head
Note :
1- Flashing SemcCamera Update From Mini CM Sandwich AOSP v4 will delete the \system\app\Camera.apk (The AOSP Camera) and add \system\app\SemcCameraUI.apk (Sony Camera ;which doesn't show in app drawer) that's why you'll see the camera app missing
also it doesn't add the \system\app\CameraExtensionPermission.apk (because it's already there in Mini CM rom and not there in AOSP)
2- SemcCameraUI.apk is not installable ,when trying to install ,it says Application didn't install ,so we can't push libs and then install camera app as any other app
Ideas :
1-Modding the CM9 Camera.apk ,porting the .png files from SemcCameraUI.apk ,but that needs editing the XML files (XML Programming) which I don't know anything about it
2- Make The System use SemcCameraUI.apk instead of Camera.apk ,How ? you tell me
3- Make the SemcCameraUI.apk visible in App Drawer and use it as a 3rd part camera app
you can save the camera app in /system/apps and then change permission. i hope it will help

I'm searching this mod when I install CM9 first time. But still no one created. Hope some developer will do it soon. If I have sufficient knowledge, I'll do it.
If more and more people request it, someone mod it for us.
I think its better make this thread as Request.

Its not work with the Sony Live With Walkman WT19i. I flash it, after i reboot i got "App isn't install" (cm9 camera app). I can't see stock app shortcut in app drawer. I just flash it, not wipe cache, etc. Check the screen shot.
Any solution?

Good Idea
Done Mate
I Tried to replace the Camera app
the camera app in stock ICS name is : SemcCameraUI.apk
the AOSP Camera app name is : Camera.apk
so what we need to do is to make the rom use SemcCameraUI.apk as the Camera app
coz just replacing isn't working
and i think we need to patch the .apk a bit to make it work with AOSP libs
I'm not a dev but I know a Bit
Any One Has an Idea ??

Are you sure you flashed it correctly? Are you clicking on the icon in your launcher home screen? If so, try to open the camera from the app drawer and tell me.

I have managed to make a camera that does not have front camera option, but you are the only one that can test if it work without a front cam.
You must have root to replace the cam app, do you have root?
If not you can root with DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit

Backup SemcCameraUI.apk and SemcCamera3D.apk and copy those attached below ro /system/app, change permissions to 644 (read all, write owner, execute none), reboot, and before you open them go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> Camera and clear data.
I only changed one class in both app to return number of cameras 1 instead 2, lets see if it let you use it.

The rom may have some bugs. Ask the rom developer whether the solution has been provided or else ask him to make one.
There are many camera apps on google play but afaik none of the apps behaves/works like stock camera app.
You can try replacing the camera application of your custom rom with the stock rom. You can get more information on Google as well as XDA.
If still it doesn't solve, flash stock rom and use.
Where is Stock Camera App?

I don't own your device.
If you have taken backup of your /system of your stock rom, you can get the apk file. If it has odex file, make sure you deodex it before replacing the file. Read tutorial at Google and XDA on how to deodex the apk.
Orelse if you have not got stock backup, browse through your device's specific forum on xda and there you get that stock rom or any other custom which is stable and bug free camera app. Download the best and use it.
P.S. There is a dedicated thanks button. You can use it to thank anyone on xda.

My other, non-Sony Android can install ported Sony apps, incl. Walkman, through adb or from SD card, but when searching for them on PS, they don't show. What changes are needed in build.prop file to fool play store? Just replacing the manufacturer name with "Sony" doesn't do the trick. I don't want to edit too much of the build.prop, even if it is backed up.

Tried simple c/p the newest version from my XSP (from PS update), but the installation ended with the "Uninstall failed" error every time, even after there were no Walkman of any version on the phone. The ported one from your link installs however you want it to, but, again, I'd rather depend on online PS update, than to wait for a ported version.

Hey, I am using CM 13 Rom and since all camera apps are such a trash I would like to use stock Honor 7 camera. Can you please someone post the APK file if it is possible? Thanks
Edit: after some research I found out that camera app need some pther libraries. Does anyome of you have a flashable zip? + Does anyone has compass app (same as camera - flashable zip)?
Stock camera app is yet to be ported. Don't know about compass though.

The app name is Camera. Have u tried to search the app in the app drawer ? How bout Apps in settings? If the zip file is flashed n installed correctly then it should appear in apps in settings. Btw, the rom u used is based on which kernel version? Like B380 or B330. Maybe the zip file i provided is for different version

cm style by wbt is a stock based rom. It's EMUI which aims to look like cm.
I used free cm rom by papsi as a daily for a few weeks and it was plenty stable for daily use (if you don't mind inferior battery life to emui). Wifi worked fine, the camera was buggy.

It's nearly impossible to port the stock EMUI camera to other stock based ROMs, because of closed source code and - as you mentioned before - due to the fact that the libraries causig problems. The camera from the Honor 7 is simply too deep interested into EMUI. :silly:
