I found this site http://www.noncamerasmartphones.com/
Or you can root your devices and remove the camera.apk

lol removing the camera apk has no use, the organization needs to see no camera hardware.

Enjoy your job!!

Thanks. Anyway I have decided to go with the EXSG-001 due to more vendor support and 4.4. The ino only has 4.2. Regardless I will try to port cm12 over once it's out.

New ROM, missing a couple of APKs

Hi Guys
I've just installed a new super lite ROM which seems pretty much perfect EXCEPT i'm missing two features of Samsung's "bloat"ware that I really like:
Blocking Mode
Stay Awake
I've tried Googling and failed miserably to locate these so, can anyone tell me where i can get these please? (Yes I know there are alternatives but i'd like to stay with apps I am happy with and that work for me)

Of they are only apks & libs you could extract them from a stock Rom and put them into yours I guess.

What is the ROM based on?
Is it Sammy or an AOKP based ROM?
If it's Samsung Based, I could take a Titanium Backup of it and send it across to you.

It's ReVolt ROM running AOKP (Whatever that is?) according to the Settings menu.

Damn.... why is it the "perfect" ROM never exists. I've been flashing since windows 6.0 and NEVER found a ROM that's 100%
Guess I'll have to look for market place alternatives then.
Thanks for your help!

Try null Rom, using it now for some time and it combines somehow aokp and Samsung features quite well

There is no single perfect rom for everyone.. Everyone is different and has different needs or "cravings"
Thats also why there's so many custom roms out there, to fit your needs (sometimes) If you cant find one, go with stock or learn to make your own.

My Photosphere MD5 Spreadsheet
Hello i am currently trying to get the 4.2 Photosphere camera to work with our phone but have had no luck... It force closes and breaks. Sometimes i even get the message "Camera not found." I have tried to get a logcat but there is literally so much spam going on with my current Touchwiz rom that i find it a waste of time to comb through it or upload it. When I finally flash a AOSP rom i will try again and upload a logcat. Here is a tutorial with i found to be complete crap and lies...
http://droidviews.com/2013/how-to-install-android-4-2-photosphere-camera-on-samsung-galaxy-s4/
They said it works when obviously it doesnt. I noticed they they installed in on the international version with the 8-Core and we are using the Quad Core model. Maybe that is the reason.
Any help will be greatly appreciated and a donation will surely follow once we get this straightened out.

Yeah, I would be curious if it worked on an current device w/ aosp or AOKP rom, as opposed to a tw rom. I really think that tw screws the photosphere up...idk...a few more flashes and I'll know. BTW, got a link to the photosphere app? I lost mine on backup and for the life of me, I can't remember where I got a good version of it...

I tried Carbon rom and it did not work there also, i believe that is built off of Cyanogenmod so i'm pretty sure its something to do with our device specifically... but what do i know. thats why i asked this question in the first place.
Google hasn't released the code for photosphere so its buggy on aosp ROMs
ill be glad to try it out when they do. why wouldnt they have something like this ready for such a great phone?

I see that in the SlimBean rom he has a Addon for Photosphere but i dont think it is compatible with our phone =/
Also the AOSP Roms have the GalleryGoogle.apk that work but stripped of the photosphere... come on people someone has to know how to fix this.

Yes this does work on the DNA i have also confirmed this... but it does force close on our S4. I have checked that zip against a couple other zips i have found the the md5's have checked out and are the same.
Also changing the build prop does nothing to stop the crashing.

Yeah, I don't know which rom you are using, but on my rom I ended up with two gallery's and two camera's, which makes sense sort of. One gallery and camera for tw and one gallery and camera for 4.3 photosphere. I chose to leave them, but to each his own...

[APP][4.3] Camera- Photospere - Panorama

Just wanted to share the Camera App that I took out of Sammobile's 4.3 Leaked Firmware for the Galaxy S4.
I just installed it regularly on my Odex ROM, and everything seems to work.
Should be the same on Deodex.
It's one APK, but it installs the Camera, and Gallery.
Enjoy.

Download:
GalleryGoogle.apk
thanks!
awesome been looking for this :laugh:
does it give the option to change the storage location? i installed the camera that leaked from the google edition phones but it doesnt have that option.

The Google camera is only good for one thing on our phones. That's Photosphere. (just my opinion) I'll use the Samsung camera for everything else but it is nice to have the Photosphere capability for both recording and viewing. The Samsung camera has many, many more features. I do love the new menu style on the Google camera. That is so easy to use.

Why would you have to give it up? You can have both the stock TW camera & the AOSP camera installed if you're on a TW rom.

Try renaming the gallery apks(/system/app/gallery4.apk and gallery2.apk) with .old at the end. Then try and install it. I had the same issue but once I renamed the apks it installed just fine.
One thing about this camera is it seems to lack a lot of options that even the 4.2.2 camera had. I like the simplicity of the aosp camera but I still like to tweak things here and there.
i usually do a lot of traveling and love to capture the beautiful surroundings keep coming in front of me .. i hope this app will certainly enhance my shooting by all the means ..
I just tried this on Eclipse rom and it installed correctly. The video camera is working also.

LG G2 RAW camera with Mi2Raw!

I would like to make everyone aware of a camera app called Mi2raw, which enables easy RAW capture ALSO on the G2!
Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maginmp.app.mi2raw&hl=nl (all credit to MaGin)
Thread: http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/mi2-mi2s-app-mi2raw-–-enables-capturing-real-raw.23563/
In my opinion, only one thing is missing to enhance the G2 camera, which is manual shutter speed control.
I read that the ZTE nubia Z5s has the ability to select a manual shutter speed (don't know what the range is).
I wonder if the nubia camera app could also be ported, I think the Z5s has the same IMX135.
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.nubia.camera&hl=nl
EDIT: Sorry everyone, I didn't realize the version you got is probably 2.4 which indeed only works for Mi2. However, I'm in the beta team, and I have access to the 2.6 version of the app.
I can assure you it works.
Edit 2: the new app will be available soon from play store. I cannot share it at this time. I promise it will happen
Didn't work on stock 4.4.2.

The app from the Play Store only works on stock ROM.
I can provide app that works on custom ROM based on LG G2 ROM, but I must ask permission from the developer.
This app probably doesnt work on CM based ROMs.
Probably due to missing modules or whatever.

Working. Thanks.
How do we decode DNG files? RAW Decoder from Play Store cannot do that.
Does this require root on LG D802?
Or I just install apk on unrooted stock firmware?
Is backup needed before installing?
For raw image editing, I see that people recommend Adobe Camera Raw.
The official thread for the Mi2Raw application can be found here.

[ROM] 12-29-15 Android 6.0.1 marshmallow For Sprint S5 SM-G900P (Kltespr)

ANDROID 6.0.1 MARSHMALLOW SM-G900P
Screenshots in post #2
HELLO EVERYONE!!! This rom has taken a kind of backseat for awhile, i do apologize on that! unfortunately at this time i just had a new baby girl enter my life and crazy busy hours at work, so i hope the current release is still working for everyone and im glad to see others still helping each other out!
Also i am SKRANTIX if your wondering when you boot up it says skrantix.. well thats because i named everything that not thinking about my name on here not being the same.. sorry..
This is my first time ever doing any sort of build for any android phone, and i know that there are other roms out there, but i felt pretty proud of myself that i was able to learn how to do this. Of course none of this could have been possible without the help from a few people, @T-Macgnolia, @DevVortex for helping me get the proper setup going and showing me/teaching me how to get things from git. @Prasanna V (Vega TaySailor) for moral support and also @albinoman887 for all the work he and his team have done to get this off the ground. Of course i want to thank cyanogenmod and team for all they do as well. Also this is my first ever post on xda of this magnitude so.. im sorry for the all over the place sloppy nature of it. Later on down the road i would like to incorporate other things into the rom.. but im not at that level yet
PLEASE NOTE, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE IN CONJUNCTION WITH MY FILES. THIS HAS BEEN TESTED ON MY PERSONAL DEVICE AND DOES WORK
When you flash this rom, the rom will do the normal, show boot animation for a few then continue into the starting apps process. After that is done it will go BACK to the boot animation for just a few seconds before it then fully boots up.. Just so everyone is aware and don't want anyone to think oh, its bootlooping when its indeed not doing so
What Works
Mobile Data ~ Calls/Text/MMS
Wifi Signal
Mobile Tethering/Hotspot
Audio
Google Now
Themes
Bluetooth Reports of stuttering/and or stopping
GPS
NFC
Gestures
Video playback/Audio playback
Internal SDcard mounting/External SDcard mounting

@bigfruits8188 Thank you kindly! Ive been having that issue also with the (if you are using it) Google camera app.. ive noticed if you use the "Stock" Cyanogenmod camera app for some reason it doesnt have any problems working.

in my personal opinion, the things i have noticed that are different are.. system overall is much faster and fluid, transitions seem to happen a lot faster, i personally like that it now asked almost anything you do to allow or deny permissions for usage. the battery life is overall much better, the ability to optimize all or one app for better battery life/performance is a plus. I am sure there are things i am missing, but those are a few things i notice in day to usage
I just want to apologize to everyone, i wanted to have a new build out for you all today but i am currently having some building issue hoping to have everything resolved shortly. until that time,the current rom that is on here is still working and available!
Is native hotspot hack built into this rom?
