Gallery 3D Froyo (with Peak feature)

This is the 2.2 Froyo release of the 3D Gallery with the new "peak" feature, allowing you to peak into a folder/collection of images without opening it.
Process for installing:
1. Using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (or your preferred app), move the Gallery3D.apk (or Gallery3Dm.apk) from the /system/app folder to a backup folder.
2. Delete (if you didn't move and instead copied) the old Gallery3d.apk from the /system/app folder
3. Copy and paste this new Gallery3D to the /system/app folder and rename it to Gallery3d.apk
4. You should be able to open it up from your Launcher - otherwise you'll need to tap on the Gallery3d.apk that you copied into the /system/app folder and choose to install.
Attached are 2 pics of the new Gallery, and here is a video displaying how it works

The stock Gallery has it. I think that CM has been out since... July?

I disagree - I just checked the stock Gallery on two Evo's (non-modded or rooted) and it does not have it.

Thanks jerdog. I've been running 2 d because I just dont like 3d but this has good showoff potential.

This looks cool but what's up with the permissions? Why does it need access to my accounts

I removed the loud irritating ding noise.

I can confirm it works as I just installed it by pushing it to system/app via root explorer.

seem to me this needs to be moved to theme and apps section

how to install camera.apk?
I am a forum noob trying to figure out how to install camera.apk over the existing system app. I consider myself a competent searcher/hacker but little experience with android beyond a careful root and backup. I tried hard searching the forums and web without success on how to do this. If you can help with instruction or point me to a resource I would appreciate it. Cheers

Instructions for installing apk with root explorer:
1. download apk or apks your sd card
2. navigate to file and copy or move apk or apk's
3. navigate to system/app
4. tap on r/w at the top
5. paste all apks
6. change permissions to match the other apks's in the system/app directory.
7. Reboot
Root explorer is my file manager of choose but any file manager with root access will work

So this is a totally off topic, sorta, question about the camera.apk...
I like the Camera on this device. Its fast, very fast but on the ROM Ultimate G2x the camera lags like no other!! But the one on CM7 is smooth and i like that one very much!
So my question is, can i replace the camera on the Ultimate ROM with the one found on the CM7 ROM even though one is running Android 2.2.2 and the other is running 2.3.[?] ?
Thank you for your time!

Buy root explorer or do it in terminal. Its worth it to buy Root Explorer, you will use it in the future.

Super Weird... But I use CM7 (Build 54 with colorized nightlies) I backed up / replaced the camera, as I dont like the CM7 one (since I cant zoom with the dam volume buttons) and applied this .apk.
Gave me a boot loop... I dunno if it was cm7 or andriod commander.

I'm pretty sure you need the lg framework for it to work

Now if only we could patch the apk so it doesnt have issues when below 15% battery. I HATE that limitation.

In that case i use "hdr camera+" app its a really good camera app only thing is doesnt have flash. But other than that is a good camera app.

Also Have Camera Problems
Hi guys my name is Natalli and I am new here so please don't attack if I posted in the wrong thread.
I believe this thread should be most appropriate.
I am working with a G2x freshly rooted as of today.
Flashed to a "P999_2.3.3_Stock_Tweaked_v1.2.2" rom that I found on this site.
So far everything is great.
MY DILEMMA:
Ever since I updated my G2x from the stock version over to Gingerbread I noticed that my awesome camera app disappeared. The one from the previous version had no shutter sound (which is a blessing) plus the settings were a lot better!
I do not like the camera layout or the position of the buttons.
I'd like to find the camera app that I had before. So would I be looking for the Froyo camera app? Or is it the LG camera??? I am confused please help.
I hate this new camera app, always have and always will.​

LG camera is the one your looking for. (That was also on froyo) its ported by flaco, you can find it in the developement section. Its not a 100%, but it works just find in my opinion ( since I don't use the ffc so much)

[Q] serendipity 7 - Camera

So, I just flashed the serendipity 7 ROM to my phone today, I love it. It's fast and doesn't drain the battery. Infused seem to drain the battery quickly.
Anyway, the power button to take a picture seemed to work this morning, now it doesn't. Is there some way to get it working again? I have installed lots of apps, but I don't think any of them mess with the camera. I installed the samsung quick office, music, clock and video player. (I downloaded the 4, not sure if I installed all of them.) I used the Android Sideload Wonder Machine, not sure if that is the source of the problem or not. Any help would be appreciated.

The power button doesn't work to take pictures in S7. I remember reading this somewhere and can verify it didn't work for me after flashing S7. What I did to get it working is:
(FIRST, make a nandroid backup just in case!!)
1. Using your favorite file explorer (Root Explorer for me), go to the system/app folder on your phone
2. Mount the directory as R/W.
3. Rename the camera.apk in this folder to something like camera.apk.bak
4. Find a copy of the Infused v2 ROM, unzip it, go to system/app, and copy that camera.apk.
5. Go back to the system/app folder on your phone, make sure it's still mounted as R/W, and paste the Infused camera.apk into the directory.
6. Change the permissions on the camera.apk to match the permissions of the original camera.apk.
7. Next, mount the system/app folder on your phone as R/O.
8. You may have to delete and remake any shortcuts to the camera app you have on your home screens.
This worked for me and has worked perfectly all day, but I've only used it for a day. I won't swear that it won't mess something up in the future. I have taken approx. 10 photos since changing this with no problems, but you never know. Make a nandroid backup just in case, and save the camera.apk.bak in case it does FUBAR something.
PS: I wrote this as if you're a total noob. If you're not, I apologize. Wasn't trying to be condescending, just thorough. lol

How do I change the permissions?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using Tapatalk

If you have root explorer just long press on the file. It should have an option for permissions. The folder that the app is in has to be mounted as R/W to be able to change the permissions. I don't know specifically how to do it in other file managers. If you don't have root explorer yet, it is definitely worth getting. It's the best file manager I've used.
The exact permissions you need to set are:
All 3 rows should have Read checked, only the "Owner" should have Write checked, and nobody should have Execute checked. Make sure the file is already pasted into the system/app folder before you try to change permissions.

If you have root look in system/build.prop/ and change this line (or something similar) value to 0: ro.camera.sound.forced=1 -----> ro.camera.sound.forced=0. Haven`t tried it myself on the N5 though.

you can also delete or rename the sound files in /system/media/audio/ui. The filenames are self explaining and start with camera_ or video_; they are .ogg filetype.

On custom roms yull be able to

You can also switch your phone state to silent or vibrate only. This will kill the noisy camera sound as well.

Are you sure renaming was a success. Try a reboot, after that: is the sound still there and are the files still renamed?

I renamed the 2 camera_xxx.ogg and 1 video_xxx.ogg in media/UI folder.

Exactly those. This is weird, you are rooted on bootloader is unlocked?
How did you move the files?
What is the exact path of the files?
Maybe, if they are still in an indexed dir the media scanner still finds them.
For me this was working on several devices...

I moved it to audio folder instead of UI using Root Browser.
The exact path of the 3 files are system\media\audio\UI
I renamed by adding a 1 in front of the filename.
Thanks!

Another way. Tested and verified on Nexus 5
In terminal when rooted
su
mount -o "rw,remount" /system
cd /system/media/audio/ui/
mv camera_click.ogg camera_click.bck.ogg

Not working when using HDR mode . ?!?!?

i've renamed, moved and deleted all three audio files (camera_click.ogg , focus and video), and i still have the shutter sound when using the camera AND hdr mode.
Why ?

Any progress on shutting the sound on HDR mode?

Ok guys if you want to disable the HDR shutter sound you have do some extra steps.
What you need are:
A computer PC/Mac will be fine. ZIP file explorer software (I recommend 7-zip freeware and rich format support)
Rooted Nexus 5 Debugging Mode turn on
Root Explorer App from play store
1. Launch Root Explorer and local to /system/app/ look for GoogleCamera.apk file copy it and move to SD card partition (I copy to Download folder on SD card partition which is easy to find)
2. Connect the nexus 5 to your pc/mac copy the Googlecamera.apk from SD card partition to your PC. After that rename the GoogleCamera.apk to other name on your phone.(after modifity the apk and load back to the phone it won't replace the original apk incase issues we can alway replace the original apk back to system)
3. Open Googlecamera.apk on your computer with zip software you should see a list of file and folders, open "res/raw" folder you will see few files, search for following 2 files "hdr_plus_capture_done.ogg" "hdr_plus_capture_start.ogg" what you have to do is create a empty file on your computer and rename as this two file name with the same file format. After created the empty file just drag it to the apk file that we open with the zip software. When it done you should see two file with 0 byte.
4. Copy the modified Googlecamera.apk back to the sdcard partition location. disconnect the phone from your computer.
5. Launch the root explorer on your phone and copy and paste the modified Googlecamera.apk back to /system/app/ also please remember to change the file permission to rw-r-r. open the apk and click install (it will end up Not installed)
6. Reboot the phone and open the camera app and test shot with HDR+ mode it should be silent now.
Enjoy.

Tried this; when I try and install the apk I get "X App not installed"

that is normal cause all the system app will not installed they are boot loaded. Actually I tested even you not install just go for reboot it will work too

It works perfect with Cataclysm 4.4.2 :good:

Can someone upload the modified camera apk ?

This is NOT my work I'm only posting a link to the original thread. Fully working! The keyboard is weird but kind of cool.
How I installed. I downloaded every file, I wanted to try it all. then extracted them all to the same folder. Then I copied the priv-app folder into System root/system using FX Explorer (you need root) any root Explorer will do the trick. After that just reboot. With the launcher you can use icon packs as well!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3244542

Don't forget to thank @entrysky for all his hard work.

Mentions that CWM or TWRP Recoveries are needed?

I just extracted the zips then copied the priv-app into System using a root explorer and rebooted. Worked for me, I'm guessing flashfire might work but could take longer to do.

Hope this helps.

Still not quite sure exactly what you are doing here. Each Zip has it's own priv-app folder. What exactly are you combining before putting it into the system folder?
FYI: Flashing zips in order with Flashfire didn't work.

I extracted each one into the same folder, so all the apps ended up in the same priv-app folder as seen in this pic. Then I copied the priv-app folder.

Here is a step by step guide with pictures.
1) download the files.
2) get RAR from Google play. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rarlab.rar
3) open RAR and go to where you download the files, select all the files you want (see first PIC)
4) click the extract button and tick overwrite without prompt. (See PIC 2) then click OK.
5) using a root explorer open the files you just extracted i use FX
6) open the system folder (see PIC 3)
7) copy priv-app (see PIC 4+5)
8) go to your system(ROOT) (see PIC 6)
9) scroll down to the system folder then open it (see PIC 7)
10) in FX there is a padlock at the top to allow read/write click this (see PIC 8, 9 and 10)
11) Go to clipboard then paste select merge/overwrite (see PIC 11 and 12)
12) Long press the middle button on the back of your phone in the middle of volume up/down and select reboot.
13) click thanks

Very much appreciate the effort! Unfortunately, even though I followed your directions perfectly, I still don't have any of the apps. I'm not sure if using flashfire to flash the files previously screwed something up.

That's strange? Did you download 1-4 as these are the main files you need. As you can see its worked for me. Have you tried to fix permissions?

Thank you for sharing. BTW, have you tried BB HUB? also, what about permissions? Maybe I missed but you didnt mentioned anything about it.

I've used the hub its quite handy having all your notifications in one place, also the password keeper is very handy for storing and generating passwords.
Permissions need to be 644 there are apps which will fix it all automatically for you or you can do it manual set to read/write then read and read. See PIC

I have copied resources, productivity edge, services, launcher and hub, but nothing works. Changed permissions for folders and files.. I took only priv folders from zips and coppied to system..

That's strange, i can't be the only one it works for? Did you download the BlackBerry exchange services fixed?

priv folder in fixed zip is empty, no apk inside... btw I extradited it on PC, then transferred to sd.

Strange? I've zipped what I used and uploaded it to my Google drive there is also 2 apps in the app folder I didn't bother with these t.b.h. I've only just noticed them lol. Try extracting the zip the copy app and pri-app into your root system folder let me know if it works? You might have a corrupt download or 2.
