[MOD] Take photos with the R button - Now on the market!

After reading a thread on here before about this is (which i cannot find again) I decided to get to work to make this work, and after a little bit of poking about i managed to get it to work!
The app is now on the market! either search for "xperia play camera" or you use this link https://market.android.com/details?id=seb.camera.mod&feature=search_result.
The instructions are now obsolete but im keeping them there for completeness.
Installation Insturctions
1. Backup the original camera application with a root application manager e.g. titanium backup
2. Then delete the original camera app
3. Reboot your phone
4. Install the .apk from below
If you have a previous version installed you do not need to delete the old one or reboot just install as you would any other app
Version history
v5 - fixed remaining issues this is the final version as of time of writing please report any issues.
v4 - fixed video mode and added non root version
v3 - pictures now taken on release of R1 and menu position fixed
v2 - Decreased menu size by about 40% and fixed minor graphical glitches with menus
v1 - Original release, has VERY large menus
Hope you guys like it!

Removed my old camera app with titanium backup, tried to install this one, got a message saying 'application not installed'.

That's odd that's the issue i was getting before i removed the camera app fully, make sure you have unknown sources enabled and i used antek app manager to remove it so manbe give that a go. Ill look into it.

I will defo be trying this!!

Same thing happened to me. Just reboot your phone after you remove the app and the install should work, worked for me

Currently the shutter button on the screen remains highlighted until you tap the screen, not a big issue but its one I didn't have time to resolve, maybe later.
To install the app (.apk attached) you need to remove the one that came with the phone and then install this one, I would recommend backing up the original first too.
Hope you guys like it!

Did you update app without telling us? I dont get the highlighted shutter button after I take a pic. Also the menu options are huge! Anyway to fix that?

Oh god yeah I didnt notice that I basicly downloaded the latest source code for the camera app from the android git and edited the code involving shutter buttons, when I get a chance ill have a look why the fonts so big. Xxx

Thanks! Good job!!!

Cheers mate working fine. Backed up org. camera apk, then deleted it with titanium, rebooted and installed modded version without any issues
Regards Dousan...

Works like a charm ! thanks

Now going to update the original post with v2 that fixes the graphical glitches with the on screen hud. The pop-up menus have been decreased in size but still remain larger than the insanely small ones the original menu had. This version can be installed over the top of v1 like a normal app with no fuss.

good job !!
but how can i move libs to system files?

Great app! Works like a charm. Thanks for the great work.
My suggestion: I don't know what everyone thinks about this, but would it be possible to make it so that the app only focuses pressing down but doesn't take the actual photo until you release your finger (it would kind of mirror the shutter button on the screen).
Some advantages that would come from this would be being able to focus and then reframe, as well as timing shots better.

Thx bud works so much better now...I really disliked touching the screen to take pic.

Agree with this.
Also, r trigger doesn't seem to work in video mode.
Excellent mod though, thumbs up.

I guess its time for v3 that shouldnt be hard to do and I shall try fix the video mode too.
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

Sounds good to me with R button pushed=focus and R button released=snap picture
Good work on the app mate, looking forward to a v3
Regards Dousan...

Good job but a few issues...
1. Is it me or so images taken this way seem to be blurrier than when taken with the stock camera app?
2. Why is there a gap between the menu bar, and the portion with the shutter button and the camera mode selector?
3. It seems to me that the menu, when clicked on it, seems as if the options are very blurry?
Nhialor

Also, remove the on screen shutter button.
You see, you help people, do a good job & they expect you to perform miracles!

[Q] no download link in market

Hey everyone, I want to preface this with apologies if this indeed happens to be an issue previously resolved, i just cannot for the life of me seem to find any info on the subject. This is a big problem for me. For a frame of reference I am running CM7 with Fauxs kernel with the newer looking market update. Dont know when i got this update, just kinda happened, but then you know, i hate it. First of all i cant figure out how to browse all the apps like i used to. In the old market i could browse everything and see if i wanted to mess around with stuff. Now they only show the tops in certain categories or you have to search for it yourself. Hate that. Also, i am having an issue with downloading apps. The little blue download button is just not there on most apps and I am failing to figure out a reason why. some apps have it some dont. some will have it one day and not have it the next. I am really confused and need help. If you know whats wrong with me Id appreciate a hand!
Thanks,
Depressed Android User

Hmmm still having a difficult time seeing what the problem is. The only solution i can think of is to re-flash the latest CM7 Rom along with the latest gapps and make sure to wipe factory data, cache, dalvik, format/system, and fix permissions.
Hope this helps. But when i mess around with my phone too much and do something stupid, this method always works for me. Good luck sir.

I have the exact same problem. Im running GB on my g2x.

sooooo happy im not the only one with this problem, i dont feel like such an idiot anymore. I install clean everytime i install. I wonder what is causing this as some apps have download links while others do not. If anyone wants to try something, look up "sixaxis compatibility" see if you can download and install, that is the latest app to give me the issue

Try this. Go to settings, Applications, select Market and clear cache and clear data. After that re-open Market and see what happens.

Some apps has compatibility issues therefore no diwnload link would appear. Try native android lcd densities like 160 or 240 and it should work.

ok changing to 160 to see if that works. By the by, what device uses 160 as native res?
edit: 160 worked for the sixaxis app. crazy how that works. now if i could figure out how to get my status bar to look alright in this 160 format id be stoked hahaha
Edit 2: by the way, hahhaha i went back to 240 just to see what its like, i can barely function! everything is soooo big! at 200 i have fat screen real estate and the icons and such are much more comfortable on my eyes. its nicer to have more line items on the screen too, like in my music apps, more artists and less scrolling. win

Yes it is.

When you select a category, swipe the list to the left or right to view top paid, top free, most recent, etc. Is that what you were looking for in terms of viewing all apps?

For people who say they can't browse. You know you can swipe the screens left and right to see all the lists like you used to? And now it has top NEW paid and top NEW free which IMO is WAYYY better than it used to be.

[Q] LCD Density on ICS

Anyone had any luck changing the LCD density on the ICS leak? I tried it using LCD Modder Pro and it resulted in a soft brick.

I'm trying LCD Resolution, it says it needs busybox installed.
I go to the market and try to get an installer for busybox, and apparently market is broken for me - I can't download anything from it. Updates work fine, but can't get anything new.

I've been unsuccessful in getting the LCD resolution to change. I tried LCD Resolution with no change (no soft brick though). Also tried modifying the build.prop directly, that resulted in a soft brick.

I resolved my market broken issue (just reinstalled ICS through odin).
Going to try it after my nandroid backup is done. Fingers crossed!
EDIT:
On further thought and some googling, a lot of the LCD density changing apps on the market have disclaimers about it not working on certain devices, or ICS. So I would actually be surprised if the ways of doing it on 2.3.5 will work on 4.0+
EDIT:
Alright, gave it a shot. It won't work. In fact, some of the icons appear larger. Didn't break my phone at all though, just a quick reboot and it was back to normal. I'm going to keep trying different ways.

anyone have any luck with changing ICS density yet? cannot stand how big everything is!!!

I haven't been able to get it yet..
I'm hoping that once the custom ROMs start rolling out I'll be able to figure it out. I'm good at getting into those and changing things, but I'm bad at manipulating just my phone.
---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------
Yeah editing the build file just gave me a soft brick as well.. bummer.
EDIT:
I tried adding a new line to the build.prop - My phone appeared to soft brick, and when I was trying to boot it into CWM it somehow booted up. But nothing had changed. Weird..
Also the apps on the market that claim to work with ICS don't for me.
Also, I heard that the Galaxy S II folks had this weird issue of there being TWO LINES that you needed to change... but from what I could tell (I looked over the file very carefully) there is only that one line.

i got the lcd density to change, use rom toolbox pro and changed it to 200 in the build tweaks section

WORKED. Going to check it with 160 (what I used). Excellent find man, thanks!!
EDIT: Ah my phone is so beautiful now. Works perfectly, now if I can only figure out how the app is getting the job done.. haha

That worked perfectly. I was trying to change it for hours. Thanks! I am using 160 too. Looks great, better than with Gingerbread!

What exactly does changing this do?

This changes the resolution of your screen.
ROM Toolbox did the trick, thanks.

Ahh, thank you. Saved me! I did not want to revert back to GB, but do not enjoy a senior friendly UI either!

Ok, I tried this and not sure what is going on.
When I do, the icons get smaller, but instead of using all the screen realestate, I have a large section of unused space that I can't do anything with.
What am I missing or what am I doing wrong?

After you've changed the density, you'll want to change the number of columns/rows of your launcher to make use of the extra space.

Awesome! Rooted up my skyrocket on ICS! First root for me on my first android! And just got my skyrocket yesterday!
I changed mine to 200, it's way better this way. I did it through the rom toolbox as suggested.
There is a small lag though going back to the home screen, are you guys experience this as well?
Any suggestions on fixing the dial pad? I've done some searching and it seems most of the fixes aren't for us.. yet.

You change it in your launcher settings. I'd highly recommend Nova launcher. It acts like the AOSP ICS launcher (with the widgets section integrated into the app drawer). By default the desktop space is 4 rows by 4 columns, but you can change this. I'm experimenting with what works for me with a 160 density.

Thanks, that helped, now how do I create folders in Nova launcher? Can't figure this out for the life of me.
EDIT:
Nevermind, figured it out, it's like the iOS way of creating folders. Just drag and drop 1 app onto another.

Hmm, noticed that the disagree didn't resize either. Can anyone recommend a good dialer?

Exdialer is great.

I have successfully ported IOAP to the Kindle Fire HD 7". In order for this to work your KFHD must already be rooted and have 2nd Bootloader & TWRP recovery installed. I used the Google Nexus (flo) version from Sourceforge to port and I couldn't have done it without the help of Prallday168.
I have not included any other mods or tweaks. Simply ported from one device to another.
Thanks to Hashcode for everything he has done with the KFHD, Prallday168 & South956 for their assistance and tips, MikeChops for motivating me, Jamison904, mrimp, all the Infamous Developers involved and everyone here.
Update 02/06/2014: I have made a 2nd PORT with Double Tap to Wake feature added. Everything else is the same. (CREDITS to jb2kred)
Update 02/12/2014: I have fixed the Bluetooth and changed the Boot Animation to "CMRingOfFire" by PartimusPrime, Also included the Double Tap 2 Wake, and the Xposed Framework Installer. Enjoy!

Thank you, I will look into fixing that.
Update: I flashed IOAP to my Samsung Galaxy S4 to see what the differences may be and if my issues were related to the ROM or my port and I found, the Galaxy S4 version is newer than this and it looks like they removed that option, all together. Som other things are taken out. I will have to wait for an update to (flo) before I can look into this more, I think but, maybe they removed it because they couldn't get it to function. Also, the Black UI is working on my phone so, I have to look into that more.

This rom is pretty fantastic so far despite the silly clown mask boot screen. Snappier and more responsive than Im used to from the latest cyanogen. I also recomend the Gapps with the custom font.

It's a great ROM and runs very smoothly on the KFHD 7. The masks are like the Infamous Developers logo. Like Cyanogen's "Andy". They make great ROMs. Plain and simple. Try it or don't, your choice.

In the build.prop, dpi is set to 213 which is standard for our tablets. I have not tried it at any other setting. As far as installing .apk's, I have had no issues. Have you gone into Settings -> Security and enabled "Unnown Sources" ?

PartimusPrime makes some great Bootanimations that you can easily use as a replacement to the mask, if you prefer. I like the "CMRingOfFire" especially for the KindleFire. The 800x800 download looks great. His second post on that thread tells you how to use it as a replacement.

Went back to 213 from 240 and navigation bar disappeared, unknown sources selected and verify apps test on setting and turned off. Selecting the apk, strolling till the word changes from next to install and it's not allowing me to click. Cancel button works but nothing else. I use ES Explorer, auto install to over come the issue and 240 isn't an issue much. (full screen quick settings sucks but oh well )

I don't know what you did or why you are at that point but, personally, I would go back into recovery and Wipe, rinse & repeat. I would just start over and reflash everything.

Is it me or is there no navigation in landscape mode and I don't see an option to enable it.

Change your LCD to either 240 or 320 dpi. I had the navigation bar disappears before when in landscape mode and this solves it.
Edit: Did a clean install with your 2/6 update like you advised earlier in the post and didn't make a difference.

Hmm, ok. I'm waiting on the next update to be uploaded. Maybe that will fix the problem you are having. I know mrimp said he is working on many bugs. I'm not sure exactly what they are but, it is buggy. I can't seem to get a logcat, somehow I borked it or something. lol
And, the issue you were having with the installer was what I was referring to when I said to do a clean install. I am unsure about the navigation bar thing.

Edit: Did a clean install with your 2/6 update like you advised earlier in the post and didn't make a difference.

How do you change the dpi?

[ROOT] [GUIDE] Install stock Android live wallpapers on the Fire HD 10 [APR 2019]

One of my many goals since I got my first Fire/Kindle, was to get Androids stock, live wallpapers working on the Amazon tablets...but without root. Thus far, I've been unsuccessful. However, since root was gained on the HD 10, and I bought one, I am able to provide to everyone a very sweet surprise.
I have an obsession with going through every file I can on every device I own, rooted or not, to find tricks and hacks to improve our devices, or to make them look better. Over time, I often times save cool things from these various devices in hopes they work on other ones. I own a Motorola Droid Razr M with KitKat 4.4.2, which unfortunately now, needs a new USB port. I saved a few things from it before it died. One of those things were the stock Android live wallpapers. I present to you all of those live wallpapers, in working order. You need a custom launcher that supports live wallpapers as you cannot set them via the settings menu. I use Nova Launcher.
How did I do that? Well if I just handed over the APKs and said here you go, they wouldn't work. One APK allows them to work only on KitKat devices. But I managed to track down a compatible, stock APK that allows all of them to run on Lollipop devices. Android created these to run on almost any device and beautifully. They adapt to your screen so they work on just about any Android version. I can even get them working on Marshmallow! Without further delay, I am posting screen shots of some of the best examples below the guide. WARNING: These screen shots do no justice. To really appreciate the awesome effect, you need to install them
1. Download all of the APKs attached at the bottom of this post.
2. Download and install a root file explorer. I use Root Explorer.
3. Copy each APK, one by one, to /system/priv-app. DO NOT INSTALL THEM!

4. When done, set the permissions of each of the APKs to: rw-r--r--
5. Reboot.
6. If you are using Nova Launcher, long press the home screen and select the wallpapers option, then select 'live wallpapers' option. Select your live wallpaper and set it. ENJOY! See my other thread for a repository of over 200 stock Android wallpapers! See screen shots below:

Any way to get the new Pixel Living Wallpaper on these Kindle's?

Yes. They work actually, however I found them a little disappointing and not all of them worked. I don't have a link right this moment though. They are available on XDA though. Just install them into system/priv-app.

So I've been trying and trying for a couple weeks to get these to work again. I have all the APKs on my PC so I would transfer them from there to the internal storage of my tablet and install Android Live Wallpapers and the LiveWallpaperPicker into /system/priv-app. They wouldn't work. None of them would. So tonight I looked up this thread I made right here and instead of using my PC, I downloaded them using the tablet, through chrome. And guess what, they work. All of them. I'm not sure why though. They are all the same APKs as the ones listed in my OP. So if anyone has had this issue installing them, you'll need to download them using the tablet.

Wow- that's strange. I installed 3D Parallax Background on my dad's HD 10 last week following the original instructions. I downloaded the apk on my laptop then I transferred it to the tablet and it works. It's great there is a backup plan, though. I have no doubt I will have to cross that bridge eventually

Very strange indeed. If I had to guess, it might have to do with the apps being outside their environment for too long. That's just a wild guess though. That's about the only conclusion I can come up with.

It let's me set the live wallpaper in Nova's wallpaper picker and it works fine...until I turn the screen off, when I turn it back on the old static wallpaper comes back.

Is the LiveWallpaperPicker a system app (/system/priv-app)? Did you set the permissions of the LiveWallpaperPicker correctly (rw-r--r--)?

yep and yep! ..I suspect it has to do with using nova thru launcherhijack...as I had done that before deciding to root. I'm about to properly get nova running and see if that helps this problem.

Ahh. I've never used hijack with Nova while rooted. That's probably the issue. I don't think hijack supports live wallpapers, and if not, I don't think it can.

Well, got rid of launcher hijack and nova still works just fine. But still it keeps reverting back to whatever wallpaper I had before setting the live wallpaper every time I turn the screen off and on again.

I've tried everything I can think of and still can't get the live wallpaper to stay after turn the screen off and on again, it always switches back to whatever static wallpaper I had set before selecting the live wallpaper. Any suggestions?

I'm at a loss. Have you installed my settings apk? If so, try disabling the lock screen: settings > security > security and select none for the lock screen. Other wise I will have to try and repeat the error.

I didn't try your settings apk because I'm on 5.6.2.0. ...BUT...even though I thought it couldn't be the lockscreen because it showed the live wallpaper for an instant after unlocking...I used the sqlite3 command to disable the lockscreen and now my live wallpaper sticks!!!

I don't know if the settings apk will or will not work on 5.6.2.0. You can always try. Just backup your current one to storage before trying. If it doesn't work, you can just restore the old one. This won't cause anything to not boot. Worst case: settings force close.

Add new (old) live wallpaper
Small surprise. I've had this wallpaper laying around for a while, but it never worked. I managed to find out why: it was missing a needed library, which had to be installed into system. Though there was a problem. The file hasn't been around since jellybean. I happened to come across that file today. Reintroducing the Microbes LWP.
Little colorful Microbes float around in your background. More appear as you touch the screen so it's mildly interactive. Root is required for this paper:
1. Download the zip and extract the contents to internal storage of your tablet.
2. Using a root explorer, copy the file you just extracted, libmicrobes_jni.so, to /system/lib and set permissions to 644 (rw-r--r--). Reboot.
3. Download Microbes.apk (both will be posted here and in the OP). Create a folder in /system/priv-app named Microbes and set permissions to 755 (rwxr-xr-x).
4. Then copy Microbes.apk from internal storage to /system/priv-app/Microbes and set permissions to 644. Reboot.
5. Set the wallpaper. Enjoy.

I have tried this procedure several times on my rooted hd10 with 5.6.4.0 deodexed and when I reboot all the files disappear. Has anyone else had this problem?

Lock screen. I don't know how or why it happens. I've experienced it on 5.6.1.0 as well. Aside from disabling it, this does a great job at replacing it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/help/root-disable-replace-lock-screen-set-t3935689 with custom wallpapers.
