Root Google edition camera app

[killajoe]

New camera app and gallery. Works great... if you only use the camera. Capturing Video force closes the app for some reason.

I think you can delete the original gallery and camera and replace them with the google edition one, I'n not completely sure though

Since I'm using cm10, I thought I'd give this new camera another whirl. It may only be happening to me, but I noticed that when you install it as a regular app, when in landscape mode, the image becomes pixelated or dithered even when all the settings are maxed out. To fix this: I went in the system/app and uninstalled gallery2.apk and dragged the new edition camera .apk in there and changed the permissions (rw-r-r-) and BAM! No more double icons, no pixelated images, and video mode works!

Where would the Google edition camera be located since its not in the system apps?

I just took the apk from the downloads folder and dropped it into /system/app without installing it first. You don't need to install it once it gets into the system folder... If that's not what you're asking about, I believe most apps get installed in the /data/app folder.

I did that and it still shows up as two icons

Delete the old camera and gallery app ^_^
