I tried simply installing the camera app apk directly on lineage OS, which failed also tried cloning it so it wouldnt be named the same as the system app.
Anyone know how to get it installed?
And would it work even if i got it installed?
Would love to have the Samsung camera app working on lineage OS
As bad i dont want to say it... i dont think it will be happening anytime soon. Google camera isnt good enough?
That has always been my main reservation about trying AOSP roms on Samsung phones, camera quality. If the camera quality was the same as TW I would definitely be on Lineage

I hate MIUI Camera and CM7 doesn't seem to be able to be as good as the stock one, i mean, the difference is huge.
So is this doable? tried to install the .apk untouched, no deal. help here?
Samsung camera relies on Samsung framework, which is not present in CM, so nothing like that will work. MIUI is based on CM, but I'm not sure if it's the same story or not.
Hi guys,
I have used CM9 for a long long time on my SGS1 and the battery was amazing.
When I got my i9300 some months ago, i tried CM9 as soon as it was made available.
Soon I returned to a Samsung based ROM for one reason: the camera application.
Now I know that a project was started to bring some of the functionality to AOSP based roms here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746611
Still the HDR functionality is missing and to be honest I simply would like the Samsung camera to work on CM10.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Samsung's camera needs the Touchwiz framework to operate, since all these apps and system modifications are heavily interdependant and cannot be individually moved around.
There should be enough other camera applications in Play Store, are there really NONE you like?
Should be able to port it if you want to take the time. Just make sure you have updated things to work with! How to port!
i am not sure if you noticed that while on CM10, the pictures and video playback quality is not as good as the stock gallery and stock player.
The pictures and videos seemed to have more noise on them.

Have you used the Samsung camera with that phone? It is amazing, and no pixel fuzz, and HDR and panorama, etc etc. It really is the best camera app.
If you really want it, I've made a package including the latest Samsung JB Camera app and the TouchWiz framework. It's not tested but uses the same principle as the Samsung Apps for CM10, so it might work. As always, backup first, then flash the zip with CMW. You can get it here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?c7g9v8pup1x7r8j. Let me know if it works.

I flashed it and nothing happened. I don't see any camera app after the installation
I flashed it and with the new framework it say Optimizing apps.. so I take it, my install is goofy now with TW crap and it seems to be running with twice as much current..
Anyways no camera install, if I add the apk it just wont install, and not sure if it is because of CM10 mmqualcommcamera as kernel process..
But Samsung apps works.
I want to use Cyanogen or Slimbean etc. but I frigging hate the Camera app and I really hate the clock app too. I really don't want to use an official rom for my phone but I really cannot part with those apps.
Is there anyway I can use something like Titanium Backup to save the .apk and just overwrite it over the Cyanogen/Slimbean one instead?
I can't stress how badly I need to do this, it's the deal-breaker of Cyanogen.. I've never tried it before but I don't want to waste a couple of hours flashing and revamping to find that I can't do it.. :/
Has anyone tried? I can't find another thread over it... just on the HTC camera app.

AFAIK you can't. The camera app on Stock rom is a touchwiz based app. Won't be compatible with CM
What if I move touchwiz with me? You mean the launcher right, or is that something different completely :/ is there really no way to even try and get it working as a beta? I mean it's leagues ahead of Cyanogen's Camera app and I take so many pictures with my phone... I really miss those options.
Touchwiz is not just the launcher. Its the name of the software framework running on the phone (android x.x + all the other stuff including the interface, camera, messaging apps etc. Since the camera app is part of that, it's impossible to port it to for example cyanogenmod.
You should just wait for android 4.2 to be ported to the s3. As far as i have seen the camera works great with many options !
Hey there guys .
Well i was using AOSP Based roms for a long long time,
untill i figured out taking pictures was really ... a huge thing to me.
I feel like theres no rom that can handle camera as good as TouchWiz based roms.
So i switched to Android Revolution (4.3) with a S5 Theme which looks kinda neat and works pretty decent -
BUT ITS NOT AOSP which i love so much ...
I was using Temasek's builds for ages and i kinda miss that feeling having a nexus experience on my phone.
I would love to know if theres a solution for it...
a good AOSP (4.4+) with a good camera who does not crash. ("Cannot connect to camera") ?
any news about getting official kitkat update for i9300 and hope that CM will work on it ?
So please if anyone knows what im going through just guide me.
Thanks alot.
No one ? \:
have you thought about dual-booting ?

I used the SlimKat rom for some time and I solved the camera crashes with a file in this forum. If you go to the section called "Themes and Apps" you will find a post with a tutorial on how to fix these camera crashes on AOSP roms.

Ive never tried dual boot before but im trying to think about situations like'
"me walking down the street, running CM on my phone .. suddenly BAMN! a flying cow. i gotta take a quick responsive HD footage of it" ( some 1080p video running on 30fps steady... y'know.. without that cm lag")
so that ain't an option i guess.

To be honest, I did not take many photos with the camera, but the ones I took were okay I guess (I'm no expert so I can't tell you if they are or not better than the ones you can take with the Samsung camera app).
Regarding the video recording, I'm afraid it's worse than the one on Samsung app, because it randomly starts focusing somewhere else and you have to refocus by tapping the screen. And forget about recording anything with the front camera as you could only make SD videos with pretty bad quality.
There's no camera like the Samsung one but this is the closest you can be to that on an AOSP rom.
Hope it helped.

There may be any aosp rom with good camera handle. I used temasek but camera ?! I think it used to crash. Now I am using FuisonSP but getting freeze/restart and camera crash.
I suggest you to try some other camera apps. Google and find some of the bests

Ive found some good camera apps (Camera FV-5) - which crashes alot on AOSP.
but there is no recording app as good as TW's.
Well why don't you try to sign samsung camera apk and put it at /system/app it would work will or u can use camera 360 which is a good app i think..
Is there a camera alternative for Lineage OS 17.1 without Gapps? Tried newest ANX Camera, but it showed blank screen.
Hey mate,
there is. Too bad no one is replying.
I had the same problem like you.
You need to fake google services for the GCam only.
Therefore you need this
It works with almost every GCam apk, even the newest builds.
Try the stable ZGCams, which are modded well for lots of phones.
Use google search, you will find it
I use a Samsung S10e Exynos Variant, everything is as is should be.
Yes, and the front camera works too.
Cheers
