JB 4.2 Camera (patched to support Z/ZL resolutions) - Xperia Z Themes and Apps

Hi forumers, I have patched the 4.2 camera with the resolutions that Z&ZL support (13mp, 9mp, etc).
Here's a flashable ZIP (or you can just copy the files to the appropriate directories yourself, if you don't have CWM/TWRP installed).
Be sure to backup libjni_mosaic.so. You can remove SemcCameraUI.apk afterwards if this camera works for you.
Original ZIP taken from this post.

Will this overwrite stock camera?

No it won't, they coexist.

both cameras take almost identical photos to my eyes.

what is different from the stock?

I don't see a difference to the Stock camera. Same mushy pics, until now BURST Mode seems the only option which produces good pics.
Thanks for your efforts anyway

For me seems to launch much faster, I also like the swipe-to the left to open the gallery and gestures in the gallery itself. The photosphere function is also nice.

it is better than the stock camera in 350 firmware, but sony seems has changes the iso approach of the stock camera in the new 434 firmware, now they look identical to me, but the launch speed and photosphere make the difference, thx!

does this apk work on odex Rom's? Thanks!

The main reason for using this as opposed to other camera software including stock is photosphere.
Photosphere is one of my main reasons, (other than altering $hosts) for getting root access.
Op you don't really need to add the extra apks though

Has anyone else noticed in photosphere not being able to take the very top and bottom photos? All the blue dots show up except at the very top and bottom so the resulting photosphere has two black gaps in it.

It's a known issue with photo sphere. Take them in portrait and theres no gaps

Photosphere just simply does not work, I have tried so many times to make one and it just makes a total mess or half missing or nothing at all. It worked fine on my Galaxy S3. I guess I can only hope we get it officially in the 4.2 update.

curious I've made 3 really good photospheres.

Does it take Photo Sphere pics?

The circular one was for persons, so I think it either focuses twice, or tags the face, or whatever. There usually is a quite normal focus

Night mode (ISO) on 4.1.2 ROM?

I'm using the gallery2.apk from 4.2.2 on my SlimBean 4.1.2 ROM and seems to work fine. I'm missing the night ISO feature though, which really helped in low light. Was wondering if I'm missing some libs or something? Or is this feature out of reach for 4.1.2 ROMs?
Cheers!

What? How am I bothering the devs? It's a simple question. I'm not the only one who would like to use this feature without having to use the buggy and slow 4.2 builds.
Logically if the camera/gallery apk works so should simple features like night shot ISO. I've only ported the apk maybe there are other files attached to this app? I know I'm not the only one who would like this.

You mean the ISO settings on the stock roms?
EDIT: I read your thread properly ._.
Hmmm... Maybe it is connected to the camera libs. Although I think its a 4.1.2 feature only (I've never seen a night ISO on the 4.2.2 roms I've tried)

Lol not stock. I've taken gallery apk from slimbean 4.2 and put on slimbean 4.1.2. The feature I'm on about is on the settings panel within the camera screen. It's the ISO option which is there on most jb 4.2 builds.
When using the camera with 4.2 it give you a ISO mode "night" which works great for low light situations.
When I use the same gallery apk on a 4.1.2 build the ISO mode is still there with various levels but "night" mode is no longer.
I like 4.1.2 over 4.2 for its speed and having the full screen camera is very nice. Everything works using this camera, just missing features like night ISO and photo effects which I think was gallery4.apk, though I never use this so left it out my system.

New Stock JB camera from port from Google edition HTC One and Galaxy S4

Hey I have tested the port app from the Google edition HTC One (GS4) and it works like a charm on my Xperia Z with Android 4.2.2.
All functions including Photosphere work when accessed from the Gallery app. The Camera shortcut does crash sometimes. All you have to do is just download the APK and install it on your phone. It will not replace your stock camera app so you can just install it and use it as an alternative.
You can download it from this website: http://android.hdblog.it/2013/06/27...e-galleria-di-ones4-google-edition-per-tutti/
Or here is a Google Drive link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1liTNaofBHRQTNHZzQ2V1YyaTQ/edit

Top man. Works nicely. Confusing as hell to use though.
I played a little with photosphere app. Great app. But the picture quality is not very good when zooming.
I compare 2 photoshere from the same point (one with my Xperia Z, one with S4 not google edition).
The one from S4 is much more sharp than the one from Xperia Z. What a pity...
Alternative Camera App
Reckon I will give this one a shot in a little bit. Was trying to get the Honami Camera app to work last night after de-odexing new Stock ROM, but this might keep me content until Honami is updated for new Firmware. Nice One !:laugh:

[APP] Android 4.3 Stock Camera

This is the stock Android 4.3 camera, from build JSS15J
Among different interface from 4.2 camera, it's got a much more improved photosphere functionality.
Download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?yh3ljxb3mqy9xlt
Just replace the gallery apk in /system/app with this one and set permissions to rw-r-r and set ownership to root, then reboot.
It's compatible with 4.2 roms
Enjoy! :good:
I dont think this is stable for every day use.. I might did something wrong because i did get some FC but is not bad looking and kind of faster than 4.2..

Did you're running a high bigmem kernel? If so, try a non bigmem to see if it's better
No Photosphere!
Downloaded the app and installed it in my Nexus S running CM 10.1.2. Gallery and camera works fine (experienced random FCs), but Photosphere option is missing! How to get it working? The menu shows only Still, Video and Panorama; Photosphere icon (as in 4.2 camera) is missing.

The image shown is that of the camera settings. I was not talking about that. In the image there is a camera icon on the left, by hitting that you will get the other types of camera. But in my device the Photosphere option is missing from that menu. It was available earlier with 4.2 camera.
Got FC when switching from front cam to back cam. No other issues and the app is noticeably faster.
RE:
This app is missing many options. If you look at the 4.1.2 or 4.2 camera app there are much more options: such as outdoor visibility, anti shake etc etc.
I'm running CM 10.2 on Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE - i9305 ....the stock camera app is really really bad and lacks tons of effects, settings, exposure changes won't work, ISO changes don't work and I would really love to get back on 4.1.2. stock app if that is possible? Any one knows how to do that?

Camera application from lenovo flagship set with 13mp

This is a new camera application from Lenovo flagship set with maximum number of features including HDR.
"Lenovo Smart Camera software means enabling intelligent smile correction, auto face 'make-up' editing effects, and auto-exposure mode "
I'm amazed by the quality of the camera. Takes sharp and good pictures than our stock camera also no yellow/pink tint and smooth video recording and now that's what I call 1080p full hd
and also gallery has lot of editing features like beauty , special effects and I love gif creator.
All you say is wow after installing this app.
( If you don't know about lenovo flagship set " It is the device with 13mp camera with 1080p display and is powered by Intel".

Woah, it is sharp as mentioned and much lower noise than our Sony camera app. However, I couldnt find the setting to make it 16:9. May not be that big an issue, can always crop using editor. But the main thing is, this app by a china company interestingly beat the Japanese in terms of software.
