[Galaxy S6 Edge Themes and Apps] banenl:
Do you want to claim your screen real estate but do you also want to use the Stock Camera App?

What does this MOD do?

This MOD sizes the Stock Camera App to the entire screen in the supported dpi settings (see supported dpi settings below). The MOD is available for both the stock app and the version modded by amk19 (please thank him, his mod is sweet!).

What's the problem?

If you try to change your device DPI from the default 640dpi to say 540dpi or 480dpi, your camera app will be broken and look like this:

This MOD will make the camera app fit your screen and work properly again!

What doesn't this MOD do?

Anything else. This MOD is solely created to support the camera functionality on DPI's other than stock 640dpi.

Known issues?

The 'Slow- and fast-motion video player and editor' has not yet been addressed. As such you can create slow- and fast-motion captures, but not watch/edit them on your device.

The white borders around the effects options and the preview button that takes you to the gallery are a little too small for their contents.

Supported DPI settings?

540 dpi

520 dpi

480 dpi

Sadly, due to the way the app is set-up, specific versions have to be created for each DPI setting. Is your flavor not available? Please mention your preferred dpi setting in the comments!

On which devices has this MOD been reported to work?

Galaxy S6 Edge International (SM925F)

Galaxy S6 International (SM-G920I)

If you have tested the MOD on an unlisted device and it works, please add a comment so the list can be expanded!

How to install?

Have a rooted phone

Make a backup! (better safe than sorry)

Pick the version of your choosing (see below) and download the corresponding zip file

Extract the apk file from the zip file

Copy the apk file to your phone

You can make a specific backup of all content inside the /system/app/SamsungCamera4/ folder for easy restoration

Using a mobile file browser like root explorer, copy the apk file to /system/app/SamsungCamera4/ and overwrite the existing file

Change permissions of the copied apk file to 0644 (see screenshot below)

remove the arm64 folder if there is any [UNTESTED, please confirm this works]

(Hot)Reboot your phone

Done!

If you want to install the amk19 version, please note that the 'media_profiles.xml' file is not included here. You will have to follow the install instructions provided by amk19 and replace his apk with this one.

Bla bla bla?

I have been really annoyed by the fact that the Camera didn't support much more useful DPI's, and saw an opportunity to do something back to this community, which has helped me and provided ROMs and goodies ever since I switched to android with my Galaxy Nexus. So thank you for that!

I'm providing this MOD as is, without any guarantees. I am not responsible nor liable for any kind of damage resulting from anything related to this post, etc. etc. etc. By using any of these files, you agree to be fully aware of what you're doing and to take full responsibility if anything goes awry.

Versions?

SamsungCamera4_orig_<x> - The Stock Camera App* modified to work with <x>dpi

SamsungCamera4_amk19_<x> - The Stock Camera App as modded by amk19, modified to work with <x>dpi

* The Stock Camera App used is the one included in the current ROM I'm on (XtreStoLite_G92xF-I-T-W8_DeodexedModEdition_v.1.4a_DVU1BOE3, which i really like so far).

Bugs?

Please add a comment or send me a message if you find anything amiss and I will see if and when I can help you out. For me to be able to help you please include the following information:

Which device version do you have?

Which ROM are you on?

Does the app force close or have some other malfunction?

Have you removed the arm64 folder if it was present inside the SamsungCamera4 folder?

Anything else you could mention that might help narrow down the problem?

If you used amk19's version, some additional questions:

Did you have amk19's mod installed before, and did it work?

Did you follow amk19's instructions when installing (specifically in regard to the media_profiles.xml part)?

Have you tried the orig version and did that give the same result?

Screenshots?

The following screenshots are taken on my phone at 540 DPI.
