I am trying to get the camera that Faux uses in his AOSP. 2.3.5, to work on the Weapon rom. I pulled the apk but it won't install. It worked fine on my Cliq with a 2.3.4 rom. I like that camera because you can use volume buttons to take pic and it snaps off the pic very quickly. Any ideas? Thanks

You may have to put it in the system.app folder of the ROM zip and flash it again. Also remove the camera in the ROM zip first.

just a FYI the SGS tools app which allows you to replace your tw launcher, email, contacts, and gallery app works for our sgs 4G. i have tried em all (upgrade stock apps) and can confirm they are all working. If you want to go back the scripts dont work, but you just need to move the stock apk back from sd>sgstools>xxx.apk into system>app> using root explorer or similar... and it will revert. also the boot up/down sounds can be disabled through the app

If I had to guess the email app on there that is made for the tab will get really buggy when used with exchange. Crazy thing is, it takes a few days to show up. You may have better luck on this device. But my vibrant didn't like it..
Lastly, make back ups of the apps your gonna try and switch using this app. Easiest way titanium backup. That way you get your app back that's optimized for 2.2.1.
Might not make a difference. But never hurts to put a back up on your external

My problemw with titianium backup is that it dosn't actually backup the system apps, just it's data
I just tried to use my FFC after the camera hack & it does not work anymore, it says camera failed. I tried to restore from Titanium and copied the .apk from the sgstool back up with no luck.
Anyone else having the same issue? I just flashed the Krylon's stock + root rom and did a factory reset but the issue is still there. Do you think I can pull the files from a system dump to remedy?

Try flashing the deodexed version 1.9.. when Odin reboots you into factory recovery do the factory reset. And then reboot.

Thanks Aloneinshadow, but I had the dump from a previous post. I pushed datapattern_420sp.yuv & datapattern_front_420sp.yuv to /system/cameradata along with restoring camera.apk & camerafirmware.apk to /system/app and rebooted with no luck. BUT when I ran Tango and used the FFC it worked and fixed my issue. I do not know why but its fixed now. Im never going to use SGSTools again unless its made for KB5.

Ok thank God I was able to revert my camera back, the hacked camera didn't allow me to record videos. Quick question, why is it that our phones don't have autofocus for video recording but all over YouTube there are vibrants that have it?

Arghhh, WHERE!!! is the gallery fix in SGS Tools??
I have spent 15 minutes here looking and cannot find anything in it with the word gallery.
Hey,
The default camera app is not that good in cm7 compared to the stock one.....is there some other camera app that is good to use?
An app that takes high quality pictures like the stock camera app?
Thanks.
That's the only downside of cm7 right now. The stock camera sucks.

Just download root uninstaller in the stock rom delete the original stock camera app but do a backup first the just look for the backup apk in ur phone n when u in cm7 install it. it might work.

The LG stock camera app will not work in CM7. It requires LG framework (If I'm not mistaken) and will just produce a FC. This was being worked on but there has not been any updates on it.

I was wondering if it would be possible to install the stock GB camera from the 2.3.3 update on CM7. I find that the stock GB cam focuses properly, and takes pictures quicker than the CM7 camera app. I tried pulling the APK from the stock ROM and installing it via Root Explorer and changing permissions, but it keeps force closing on me. Any tips?
Thanks!
Also, I searched, and couldn't find a thread on this. So don't try being a douche.
Edit: I pulled the Camera.apk from an official 2.3.7 Nexus S 4G ROM, and I pushed it via ADB. It installed, and runs just fine. Only thing is that it only has the option for 5MP pictures, and VGA for the front cam.
Did u try a TB backup? Just a thought but probably wont work. Cyan themselves would probably have to make it work for you or donicqq since EB is Cm based

In root explorer, you can assign permissions to apk files to get them to install to the system

i think it could be done. correct me if i am wrong. Was LG's GB was an AOSP camera apk? CM7 2.3.3-.7 all used an AOSP? If i have time I will play around with it tonight. I hope it is nothing like the froyo camera port...

I have done every thing you have done and the same outcome. I downloaded both zips from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166531 (GB and CM7) taking a look at them now to see if i can figure something out. one idea is if you have DSIXDA's android kitchen you could swap the files around. it is a little more in depth then that but that is another idea. what rom are you running? 7.1.0.1? post back if i find more.

If you want to know more about what's taking forever run a logcat. After you get a few logcats open a thred upload the logcat. If you don't mind send me a P.M. to the link of the thred. I am not a developer but would like to see the outcome.
Back to topic: I have not been able to figure out how to port the camera. I know there is more to it then just swapping out the .APK's. I am sure buildprop or something needs edits to make it work. If any one has knowledge on how to do this please post. I have a cheap chi-pad that could use a custom rom and this is something I would like to learn.....any one?

When I playback video that I had recorded, it displays very small and only gives an option to stretch the playback extremely to fill the screen. I've noticed that the camera app is not the same pretty one that I am seeing on youtube.
Here a pic of my G2x camera.
View attachment 1038022
I'm running 2.3.3
I have done a factory reset and no change
I have tried recording at all resolutions and no change
How can I fix this?
Did you recently update the phone, or did this just happen out of no where?
I bought it used and didn't update anything. I remember the camera looking like this when I got it before I did a factory reset.
Have you tried downloading different camera apps from the market to test?
If still nothing works then you probably have to replace the camera. It isn't hard to do though.

No worries, at this point I'm not too sure whether you're rooted your device or not.
If not, google rooting Android and decide if you wanna carry on that way. Same applies for flashing CWM/mods/ROMs, as buru stated as well, google it and decide whether it is for you or not.
As for CWM recovery, check this thread:
