Camera Hack Question - Samsung Infuse 4G

For months I used DlevRom. In that Rom, there was a camera hack that allowed me to use the power button to snap photos and allowed the use of the volume buttons to zoom in and out.
I recently upgraded to Zeus Rom and it does not have that feature. I searched for the hack on XDA and downloaded and flashed the mod, however, when rebooted and used the camera, it would force close when I took a photo.
I am confused to why this hack would not work with Zeus. I read where the hack would not work if the ROM was not deodexed. But Zeus is. That is what confuses me. I ended up just reinstalling the normal camera, but would like to make this hack work. It is so much easier using the power button to take photos with my phone.
Thanks for any tips.

It should work but I know THAT D's reasoning was that it's not good to take photos under 15% and that it was hacked enough. Should work though..

I agree it should work but I followed the instructions to a tee and it would allow me to open the camera app and it would flash but it would force close after. Who knows. I just find it easier pushing the power button than trying to find the button on the screen.

I have it in NumasX. You need more than just the camera app. You also need the camera firmware.

it will take some digging, but ive personally attached the hacked camera.apk to the zeus thread. search thru my posts
just use root explorer to move it to system/app...make sure to mount r/w
ive yet to see a good explaination as to why its bad and personally i dont like to get owned by my phone when im trying to take pics at the end of the night:banghead:

I had the hacked apk and replaced the original camera apk in the system app folder. It must just be my system because when I did this it would force close.

bigfau,
I copied both the camera apk and firmware apk and it worked.
That is not spelled out in the camera hack thread so that is what is need on Zeus if you want to have the hack.
Thanks!

Question about "sharing"...

1st post and let me start by thanking everyone for all the excellent contributions to the community that help us realize the potential of our Cappy!
I finally flashed my first rom, Andromida 1.0, and I am astounded by the results. I essentially have a new phone now!
One thing I haven't been able to figure out is that youTube no longer shows up as an option to share when I attempt to share a video. It seems that the OS does not see that the app is installed. I have uninstalled, reinstalled several times in hopes that it will be recognized but it has not worked.
Any ideas?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
As far as I know, the share option should be visible in portrait mode and located in the upper right hand corner of the screen. There should be a pulldown menu with 'share' in it.
i can confirm that youtube is not showing up in the share options. this was not be design by us, but as far as i know, like this in standard armani captivate. we will have a look and see if something is missing. one of those things we didnt notice during development.
Would an alternate mediauploader.apk work or is it missing altogether?
All I have is the Sign Out button available. I wonder if it is a setting within my youTube account that is causing this.
When I was running stock 2.1 I would have the option to "Share" a video from within the camera app or video player app. When I would press "Share" a list of apps would pop up and I could choose how I wanted to upload the file... Email, Gmail, Handsent, Whatsapp, youTube. Now youTube is no longer listed.... hmmmm
I'm stumped...
Thanks for your reply!

(REQ) stock camera.apk to replace 2.3 camera.apk

Ok so in my opinion, the stock camera.apk is a whole lot better than the one that is on gingerbread, and that is what is keeping me from switching. I use the camera on this thing a lot!i have read where some have tried to replace the new with the old to no avail... Can someone please make this happen, or even suggest a better alternative... In the mean time I will try to do the same
It will work we just need the LG framework again

Froyo camera doesn't work on gb roms.....

Dam. I really liked the lg cam too
G2x with faux AOSP
I really miss the ability to focus onto any spot on the screen, rather than limited to focusing on the middle of the frame or whatever it does automatically. I have not seen this feature on any of the camera apps in the market.
Vignette does that. It was too laggy for me, however, and I have since moved on to camera360.

This is also what is holding me back from quite a few ROM's and simply getting gingerbread also. I use it so much that it breaks the deal for me.

LG Camera App

Wondering about this.... since we all like the LG app so much better, is there a way to take it out of the froyo build and drop it into the the new gb build? If its possible, it would be nice to know how.

Will the MIUI camera apk work on CM7, since I believe that's a CM7 based rom?

Where can I find that camera app? Is it available if I am not rooted?
Sorry for the noob question.
miui is built off of cm7 so I would think it would work. ill upload the apk when I get home if someone doesn't beat me to it.
Here you go. I would make a backup of your rom before trying the camera just in case.
Use any file manager with root access to place the APK in system/app then reboot. The camer should then be in your app drawer. If when trying to open it it force closes it wont work. I think it should work with CM7 but dunno about stock gingerbread.

Because the LG camera app has more features and tweaks the camera to take better quality video and photos. It also has the zoom feat. while recording video which is nice to have. Its hard going back to stock after being used to utilizing the extra feats.
Geah!

SE panorama camera app works in CM7

Hey,
I'm sure I remember reading about someone talking about it on our play forums, but don't think I've seen anyone confirm.
The hacked version of SE's panorama camera app works on the play -running CM7-
Link here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14976061&postcount=90
Tested / working on my R800x running CM7.
Edit: thanks to everyone who tested, looks like this currently will not work with stock SE firmware or Verizon's bloatware. Really makes me wonder what's different in CM7 that lets it work.
I've tried a number of panorama apps, and I have to say; its pretty sweet. Simple, straightforward, gets the job done, and works well. Makes me wonder why they refuse to include it as a stock feature.
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
nice works on stock Rom good find
edit: doesn't save pic after it's taken
Really? That's odd. Can someone on cm7 try? It's saving fine for me. attached a photo I took with it for yalls. Hopefully since it seems to work with cm7 something can be done to get it working with stock.

Thanks but whenever I press the stop button, it does not save the picture
it won't save the picture for me either. Verizon stock 2.3.3
Doesn't save pictures on the stock rom. I also followed the thread linked to above; downloaded the original version from first page and flashed the panorama-fix.zip containing the necessary libraries. That doesn't work either.
It doesn't work on the stock roms, you'll be able to install it yes but it won't save the picture, it works perfectly on the cm7 roms cause I was using it alot and posted something about it over in general like 3-4 months ago but I got tired of using the cm7 roms cause the touchpads didn't work for 3/4 of the games I liked to play

2.3.2
it will work perfectly at firmware 2.3.2....
It's probably just trying to save the pictures in a directory that doesn't exist in the official firmware.
Where are the panoramas saved ?
I believe they are saved in a folder called panorama on the sd card

Photo Editor

Hi guys
Just took from SGS II ICS ROM its photo editor (photo retouching).
It is really cool and besides special effects you can actually choose an area and apply all effects or even make stain disappear (fill hole).
It works absolutely flawlessly on our device.
source : GTI9100XWLP4-4.0.3 (Supports Hebrew as well).

I've tried a few photo editing apps since I started using Instagram. So far, I like Picsay Pro and Camera Zoom. Picsay makes it easier to add text though. I don't think Zoom has the same functionality though.
I liked camera zoom for a while, but moved to Quick Snap (with infinite focus) as my fastest camera (for running kids) and this thread photo editor for the small finishes. For videos editing I use AndroVid btw.

Hi itzik2sh...I just found it FC every time I try to load picture (was on your Hebrew Vahalla), I did Gremlin removed and flashed your rom several time but still FC :s...(sr but since 'm into worst week of the school year - exam week lol - so I can't have phone and PC at once to upload some pics for you - as my mom not allows lol)
I don't want to be off topic, but :
1. Does it happen on this app only?
2. Is gallery working good otherwise?
3. What launcher are you using?
Go launcher is smoother and more stable comparing to touchwiz.
4. Try deleting your pics and vids, maybe one of them is corrupted..

2. My galary was fine.
3. I have always been on Go launcher (even on MiUI rom lol )
4. I'm sure all my media files are not corrupt ...
Anyway, I tried it on other roms and it was fine so never mind, once I get on Hebrew Vahalla again, I will sure to follow your op tightly and will report to you later since I remember that I didn't ummu and just only factory reset one time :s...my bad so I can say now, the app is fine ...btw, all best wishes to you
