The Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition and HTC One Google Edition recently went on sale on the US Google Play Store. Both run Android 4.2.2, however, both of them also seem to be carrying new versions of the camera app, some different boot animation and wallpapers. The camera app in particlar enables these features:

  • Arc shaped menu
  • Ability to use Volume Rocker as dedicated camera button

While the different menu is interesting, what really got us was the volume rocker feature, which could mean an easier time at taking photos for some people, especially those with smartphones or tablets that can go underwater. While you can download the ripped camera here, it does come with side effects. For some Nexus devices (or those running stock Android) it replaces the existing Camera and Gallery apps but for some other devices it installs as another separate app (and installs a separate gallery). Some users have reported that the Photo Sphere is missing though as they are installing on devices other than the Samsung Galaxy S4 or HTC One.
