APK: Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com
ZIP File: Flashable_4.2-Camera.zip

afaik you just have to flash the zip. make sure permissions are set as normal (rw-r-r)
if zip doesnt work, the download or extract the apks and push them manually.

Android 4.2 Camera:
Here is my latest flashable zip.
It contains all the files provided by dmmarck.
GalleryGoogle.apk [The actual Camera and Gallery]
GmsCore.apk [Sphereview]
libjni_filtershow_filters.so [PhotoEditing in Gallery]
libjni_mosaic.so [Panorama Photo]
linlightcycle.so [Photosphere]
The GalleryGoogle.apk is the modded one from androidpolice.

That make the working/not working list look like this:
1. Panorama.
2. Photosphere. (requires gyroscope?)
3. Photo editing.
4. Sphereview.
5. All ordinary camera/video functions.
6. Should work on ALL phones.

For gallery to not FC when rendering Sphere shots, change your system language to English (United States).
This will also make Sphereview work!

Android 4.2 Keyboard:
Here is the flashable zip for the 4.2 keyboard as well.
This contains the following files:
LatinImeGoogle.apk [The actual keyboard app]
libjni_latinimegoogle.so [I'm not sure what this does ]
Flash this zip in CWM and it should work.
To uninstall this you'll have to manually delete the files mentioned above.

Using it on the nexus and it might just be androids greatest mod/app ever. It's plain sick.

Saw this on twitter yesterday. Looks cool.

But I don't see this working on the esteem btw.

Flashed it, but it keeps FC'ing on me. Haven't been able to change the permission on it, though.

4.0 and up apps don't work on gb unless they are ported which is usually not worth it. Hence why Google chrome isn't available for gb.

Newer apps require different things that isn't implemented into gb. Not to say someone couldn't port this over but I wouldn't hold my breath.
