[Request] Mod for Gmail app and Camera app

Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to mod the gmail app so that it allows you to download attachments directly from the app rather than just previews. Also for the Camera app when viewing pictures you have taken, is it possible to mod it so u can change the picture by swiping like in the gallery instead of using the stupid forward and backward arrows? Any devs wanna give it a shot?

The camera thing might be possible... the gmail thing... well, the gmail app is closed source & proprietary....

pretty sure froyo has direct download from gmail

anyone wanna take a crack at modding the camera to do this?

haha i just checked the camera app and it does open the gallery so you can indeed swipe to go through your pictures. You should just wait for froyo

ok heres how it is: apk files emailed show "install"
picture show "download" and 'preview"
unknown doesnt allow anything i dont believe. The attachments are context based on whether you can download. Do you have specific file types you want me to check?

Ah.....yes please!!!! Put a download link on.

Maybe we're just supposed to offer our congratulations...
Good work! *golf clap*

Hey guys! Sorry, been busy with work not had a chance to upload anything. My only issue is the legality.. am I legally allowed to re distribute their camera app?
To be safe, I'm gonna upload the images and show you all how to change them (incase you don't know). Wonder if the .xml can be edited to put a light button on the main camera screen? It's there to put each other button there with pixel location so I'm sure there's bound to be a way...
Could be a good way to develop the app a bit further cause other than vignette there's no good basic camera app yet.
Hang fire I'll upload the images when I'm on my laptop

Yo, did you ever manage to modify the apk?
If so, please upload, I am pretty sure it's legal to upload the camera app!

New Gallery App Replacement *Solved*

PLEASE NOTE: I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS APP, I JUST "TRANSLATED" IT TO ENGLISH
I've been trying to replace 3d gallery and have stumbled upon a great 2d gallery, unfortunately for me it was in Chinese, I read the instructions on the first page of miui translation forum thread and have translated it to English and actually compiled the app without any errors(to my surprise ). but when i replace the app on the phone i still get the original version that opens up(Chinese one).
I spend 2 good hours translating it, and really hate coming up short
can some one tell me what i am doing wrong? I'm attaching the Chinese version and the English version
there are the translation instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8268893&postcount=3
UPDATE: A kind member of XDA community has signed the app

Have you tried replacing the .apk in /system/app via root explorer or adb?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

its not a system app. it just a regular apk. eventually i want to replace the 3d galley so this one woudl open up from the camera

i could not even get it to install. wont install normally, and copied to /data/app and it doesnt show up
tried to install with adb and it gave a certificate error
this is because you didnt sign the translated apk
http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-sign-apk-zip-files/
shows you how to do that
if you modify an apk, it must be signed before your phone will use it
ive signed it and its installed, and working, in english
my guess is that you didnt remove the untranslated version before trying your new one, make sure you remove it first
good work btw, great find
also, this isnt aosp is it? i was thinking the icon more resembled miui, which would make sense if it was in chinese

THANK YOU !!!!! nice to see my work didnt go to waste , in the thread it said i can do it without signing it so that what i did.

as far as i know, all apk's must be signed for android to use them (with the exception of framework-res.apk)
also, you should change the thread name to something else and put a signed version on the first thread so others dont get confused

changed. you wouldn't happen to know how to link this app through the camera? so when i click on the gallery from there it would open this app. i assume there is a pointeer somewhere in the camera.apk...

what do i look like? a programmer?
actually, no i have no idea. i would expect if you decompiled Camera.apk you can find it by digging through the code
(use smali/baksmali to accomplish the decompile)
but i am not well versed in programming, so i wouldnt know where to begin

crutoi,
great find! love this gallery. so much easier and faster. better organized. when you find the link to the camera, let us know. until then, i'm a happy camper! Thanks!

First and foremost thank you for translating the application. The application loads our media gallery really fast, it blows 3D gallery out of the water.
Feedback:
-Some of the cataloging is redundant,
-Thumb image quality is not the best,
-The icon could be nicer,
-No Picasa support.
Thanks again.

Is HX Camera-Mod Possible on the Verizon SG3?

This may be a dumb question, but is the HX Camera mod possible on our Verizon SG3's? It looks awesome in the youtube videos.
The link is http://hx-custom-roms.com/galaxy-s3-camera-mod

yea its possible. but unless you are releasing it then you may want to have a mod move this to the q&a's before some troll comes here lol

Anything is possible. Eschelon had it ported and built into synergy but video recording was borked in it.
Oh, and wrong forum.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I've flashed it before and it does work, but the only reason I wanted it was to be able to use the volume button to take a pic. So I use this now, and it works great http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844740
I wish this would integrated into Synergy.

General rule of thumb, if your thread title has a "?" or should have one it doesn't belong in Development.

I loved it when we had it. Not a much of a video guy on my phone, but I do like the pics options. Unzipped the .apk but won't let me install, just says installation failed. Any ideas?

Manually put it in system app then reboot

Yep, figured it out already. Root Explorer/Systems/Apps. Change existing to .bak ( in case I want to go back to it). Copy/paste new .apk to same folder.
Thanks for the response, appreciate the help.

Thanks!
I'm sorry if asking a question was inappropriate in this forum, but it seems like better answers typically come out of this subforum I put the apk into System/app (after renaming the orig. camera apk to .bak) and it works! I like the options to use the volume buttons to shoot video and pics. The only thing that would be nice is a menu option to kill the camera sound instead of having to delete the files as below:
note: To have the Camera COMPLETE silent you have to delete some system-Audio files from:
\system\media\audio\ui
“shutter.ogg”
“cam_start.ogg”
“cam_stop.ogg”
“Volume_controll.ogg”
Thanks for the help, loving my SG3 even more!!! This is the greatest phone I've ever had by far!

Only one glitch, terrible pixellation on video playback. Looks okay while shooting,but is horrible when played back, either on phone or on computer. I went back to the stock camera.apk and there's no pixellation. May have to try the other option listed above. Anyone have a fix for the pixellation?

[APP] Official Facebook Home APK

Lol, Facebook Home! AP shared the apk in their tweet, so no credits to me. Install the attached Facebook Home apk and download the Facebook app from Play Store. Then if your phone is not officially supported then you will need to edit the build.prop file, which is accessible by path system/build.pro- Reboot, via any good file manager like Root Explorer.
But then again, I strongly recommend you to NOT edit the build.prop file for such a hype like this, you will face several problems later.

In order to use the leak, you need an Android device with a maximum resolution of 1280x768 and the ability to completely uninstall your existing Facebook app. This is important, as the leaked APKs are re-signed and can't just be installed over the top of an existing installation. This will automatically exclude some devices which have Facebook installed in the base ROM. If you're on a Nexus device you're good! Even if you do have Facebook in ROM, provided you are rooted there are workarounds - i'll detail these in the comments. If you have any problems installing post below and i'll help if I can.
In the settings you can find some interesting options such as whether to hide the notification bar by default or not (if it is hidden, sweeping down from the top of the screen reveals it). Let us know your thoughts!

If you have Facebook app already installed:
If you're rooted and want to play on a device with Facebook preinstalled, you need to...
Find the location of Facebook in your system partition (e.g. /system/app/Facebook.apk or perhaps /system/app/Facebook_Client.apk)
Delete said file (after backing it up!)
Reboot device
Install Facebook from the Play Store then uninstall it
Install above APKs

Absolutely wrong.

On TSOGLANI thread, he said that it needs a screen with 1280x768 resolution, can someone confirm it? I want to test it on my Galaxy Tab 2, which has a 1024x600 screen :good:

just as a FYI to tmobile s3 users. it works and will installs but once you start opening other apps, it starts to spaz out and the screen doesnt display correctly but it disappears when you un install it so if you wann take a look, go ahead.

Installed to check it out. This actually looks like it could be very good.

I got that when I first installed it, and clicked on the writing. Screen goes grey while your content loads then it's working.
