Any way to sideload the old Lumia Camera?

[eehsun]

Is it possible for someone who has NOT updated to the most recent Lumia Camera version to create and appx package for sideloading purposes? (just asking whether something like this is possible)

If you have the old file maybe, but I tried manually downloading an app from the Chinese WP store (which still gives the option to download manually), however moving that app to my phone, did not have any effect.. Perhaps if you have a phone with a SD card slot, you might have more luck

Considering all the features are going into the Microsoft Camera with even more features to be added that Lumia Camera will never have, and considering the load time of Microsoft Camera is quicker, why would you want to? Is there a feature you are missing?

Use the SysApp Pusher...

I am actually of the same opinion, that is eventually there should be no reason to stick with the legacy app. However as you suggested, in the interim, I'd like to be able to use the old app due to a feature that I miss in Windows Camera.

What I'm missing is that the camera app no longer provides an indication of what the current ISO level is like the old Lumia camera did (corresponding to a particular manual shutter speed, with ISO remaining at auto). This way I was able to assess what would be approximately a good shutter speed to use given a scene, judging by the corresponding ISO suggested by the algorithm (I used to adjust the shutter speed such that I hit ISO≈100 for day shots, ISO≈800 for night). In the old app, the text auto in the ISO section of the ring interface was replaced by the current numerical ISO level, in the Windows Camera app, however, I don't have this feedback - there is nothing but a static text auto. (I had previously submitted this issue through the Feedback app)

In short, I am only looking for a short term solution :grin:

Let's hope it gets noticed

Use this site. Works awesome. Appx4Fun - Top Windows Phone Apps and Games

Download to your computer and copy paste into your downloads folder on your phone.

In W10 Go to SETTINGS>UPDATE/SECURITY>FOR DEVELOPERS
Then turn on side loading.

Install the Lumia Camera 5 Beta. It works really well in W10 with gallery working and saving. But no ability to save Richtone edits. The regular Lumia Cam 5 sucks in 10 and is pretty unstable.

BTW Lumia Classic will not install or run in W10. Boorns.

*I would do this! Because the Beta Store website is gone on Sept. 30th!

Will this really work for my Lumia 1020?

Oh nope. Sorry.
