[REQ] HTC-Camera.apk for nonSesse ROM

Hello,
I have question, or request to developer.
Camera apl. in 2.1ROM is with bugs, unstable, poor setting,...
But camera in 1.5ROM and in VillainROM5x work fine, without bugs.
Is some way to install HTC-Camera from 1,5ROM or from VillainROM5.2?
And same "problem" is with gallery. Simple gallery without 3D.
I try push via adb some files to Androbin, but without result.
- htccamera.apk and com.htc.* jar and apk files from resource.
Can anybody help me, or prepare howto file,...?
Or developer prepare patch for aHero,Androbin,...?
Or I have total stupid request?
What rom are you currently using? if you are using an unstable 2.1 rom from asop sources you may want to try the sprint hero rom or legend port etc? Just by reading the many 2.1 roms feature lists on this forum. This information could of been attained on your own accord.

I know features of custom ROMs.
aHero and Androbin are good ROM, but with "sh.t" gallery and camera.
VillainROM5,2 is stable, gallery and camera work good, camera with more setting optinons. But I want use AOSP contact and callendar,... not HTC.
Is possible port ONLY HTC camera and gallery to AOSP ROM? For ex. from Villain?
How to make this?

[Q] Porting ROMs (underthinking?)

I've just started looking into porting ROMs (more specifically, ICS themes to Gingerbread), and I found a few tools that port the ROM for you. If it were really that easy, isn't it possible to port any ROM to any device? This might be a really stupid question and I'm not fully understanding what porting a ROM means.
These were the tools that I found:

Generally porting a rom means to get a rom which you like of some other device to your device... Both the devices should be same screen resolution and same android version..
I use this guide :highfive: -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32080012
So if I wanted to theme Gingerbread so that it looks like ICS (i.e. by editing Mms.apk, SystemUI.apk, etc), how exactly would I do so?
I found HoloEverywhere (https://github.com/Prototik/HoloEverywhere, README: https://github.com/Prototik/HoloEverywhere/blob/master/README.md) that lets developers theme their apps to the Holo Theme, but I'm not sure how to apply this to the Gingerbread APK files.

Building a ROM from scratch, guide?

Are there any guides that show the user how to create a rom from scratch? I've seen multiple guides on creating a rom but they do so using the kitchen. I would prefer something that shows how to make a rom without a crutch.
please help

I would say the best way to make a ROM from scratch is to compile it from source. If your interested in learning how to compile a ROM from source I would recommend taking a look at this guide to building Jelly Bean from source, as well as Google's offcial documentation on building Android from source. Additionally this guide on Zip Based ROM tweaking is a good guide to take a look at. Let me know if you still have any questions .

Normally all device forums have tutorials on how to compile ROM from source(if someone has already compiled it).
If no development has yet started for your phone then you you need to create the device tree which is tough. Otherwise just google . There are lots of tutorials lying on xda.

Thanks, I didn't even know there was an official guide
I'm wanting an AOSP ROM on my s5 g901f but there is no support at all. Could someone point me in the right direction? I'd like to have a go and have looked up porting but I don't think that is the way to go. If somebody could give me the steps what I need to do for this modal I will research.
Could I use the cm for note 4 as it has similar specs, ie
805, 420 etc. Or s5 g900 as a base ROM? Or would I need to build from scratch?
There is only one custom ROM for g901f and that's touchwiz so somebody please help before I go insane. Touchwiz really is that bad
Up for this. Really interested especially for us who has not so good programming skills

Let's see if I can point you in the right direction! Because of the differences in specs between your S5 Plus and the regular S5 you can't use that to port ROM's. For the Note 4 idea, since you only have a Touchwiz ROM as your base (The one from your S5 Plus) it won't work properly for the port ROM (CM12 Note 4). I would recommend looking at compiling CM12 for your device, which I would recommend taking a look at this guide here. Let me know if you have any questions be happy to help you out.

Looking for MIUI Camera / Google Camera port

Hi guys! At the moment I wasn't able to find any working Google Camera port. Maybe I missed a working one? If there isn't, can one of the awesome rom developers port a MIUI Camera from the official miui rom?
P.s.: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-note-2/themes/google-camera-versions-t3840815
In this thread, there's a library zip file in the third post, but I'm afraid to use it, cause the [UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 16.0 is finally working without any problems and there's no detailed guide what the zip file is doing. Is it safe to use?
I use this and it goes very well in AoSp ext.
GCam5.1.014-Arnova8G2-v9.1.apk
Can't use it, it's crashing before the phone can open it
