So I'm on a 4.2 JB ROM, and I don't like the stock 4.2 camera app. I really like that ICS 4.0 camera app. I looked at some ROMs that ran android 4.0 ICS and tried to look for the APK for the camera. couldnt find it. Also I tried installing the gallery.apk but it didnt work. I didn't try flashing it cuz there wasnt a .zip file to flash. I know theres Camera ICS but its not the same. Theres no options for focus modes etc
anyone know how how to download the stock ASUS camera app?

I've got something of a problem. I enjoy the speed and customization of Cyanogen, but I've also grown accustomed and frankly, think that the Samsung stock camera is the best camera app for our phones.
I was wondering whether or not it is possible to take the original stock camera, and create a CWM flashable ZIP file out of it? Like how Cyanogen has the ZIP flashable Google Apps.
I'm currently on a MIUI rom because it retains the original camera, but it doesn't have the finesse of Cyanogen.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hi,
cyanogen has another framework, the Samsung stock camera don't work.

CM and MIUI are pure aosp roms which has no 'samsungyness" left.
So no apps from samsung framework will work. Hence, you can NOT use stock camera on miui.
Only rom afaik, that is almost pure aosp and has a few good samsung apps in it, is GingerMod. (samsung browser, camera and fm radio).
And, for replacing/adding a new system app, if you have the app apk, you can just push it to /system/app using root explorer, set correct permissions and reboot. Cwm flashable zip is just an easy way.
Thanks for the replies. I've been pushing the Camera.apk into the app directory, but it wasn't working. I thought that the app itself may contain the drivers required; I didn't know it required an entirely different framework.
I'm running GingerMod right now, but unfortunately it is still sluggish compared to Cyanogen.
Can anyone recommend a camera app for Cyanogen, which is as close to stock as possible? Cyanogen's default camera unfortunately has a longer lag between pressing the shutter button and taking the picture, than the stock Samsung one.
Try Vignette, Camera 360 or lgCamera. They are pretty good. Sometimes I use them even instead of the stock app
I hate touchwiz, i find it so damn ugly, ics looks so much better to me but samsung never releases their propietary drivers and we're stuck with half working aosp roms, so the only solution i can come up with is use the stock samsung ics firmware but get rid of their apps ( gallery, dialer, samsung apps, email client, read hub... ) and then install on top the stock ics apps, is it possible or will i break something?
try westscrips ressurection rom. Works perfect.

Sir can you install or put in CM7/9 the stock Radio and Camera PLEASE ?
Sorry for the Bad English, Thank you in Advance Sir
When you mean "stock", do you mean stock from CM7/9 or stock from Samsung?
For the latter, it would be quite troublesome for the Ace developers to port Samsung TW Apps to AOSP ROMs.
Plus the camera in CM9 does not work yet... But you can always download another camera app from the Market.
installing camera apps from market for cm9 wont do any good. since the problem is the phone cannot detect or connect to the camera itself. its best if you go for customized stock roms such as themyth, omegarom or other stock roms at development section
I just pulled it out of the stock ICS leak and attempted to throw it into CM9... Installs fine, starts fine... But upon trying to choose or take a photo to edit, it force closes. I tried this as well with the version from the stock Gingerbread roms with the same result...
...Here is a link to the "Photoretouching.apk" in question...

Hope someone has more insight for this... I really liked the stock photo editor... It was really useful... -and I'm sure I'm not alone...
Is there a version of the camera from JB 1.2 that works on the S3? Just looking for a zip that I can flash in CWM. Did a search and there's loads of zips about, but none seem to be for the S3. Cheers
