Native Camera Apk

Anyone has the native camera apk? I deleted mine being a idiot, and I know I can just use the update service and repair but truthfully that's a lot work because of restoring data, root etc when I can just install one app :-\
(I have this thread in general but I'm making it in here too because I'm not sure if general was the right place to post it and its important so I didn't want to wait for it to be moved if it ever will)

thank you but it won't install. Sigh I'll just have to do it the hard way =/

You might need to push them both to /system/app/ (in root directory before sdcard) n then try instal using root explorer or similar?

I tried all of that but it didn't work

hi maybe you must give the apk and odex permissions
put the two files apk and odex on your sdcard
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
dd if=/sdcard/SemcCameraApplication.apk of=/system/app/SemcCameraApplication.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/SemcCameraApplication.apk
dd if=/sdcard/SemcCameraApplication.odex of=/system/app/SemcCameraApplication.odex
chmod 644 /system/app/SemcCameraApplication.odex
reboot
or copy the two files with rootexplorer (mount r/w) into sytem/app and give them with a long press on apk and odex the permissions and check
User- read and write
Group- read
Others- read
then reboot
i hope it works for you

try it with ADB on your pc and flash a new theme with a camera.apk...
that is the method of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742821

[Q] Mount-o: permission denied

I just unlocked and rooted my nexus s. Now im trying to stop the phone from reinstalling the custom recovery image and all im getting is problems.
I put in the command
mount-o rw,remount/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
And every single time i get
mount-o : permission denied
Anyone have any ideas? im worried about rebooting my phone now cause i don't want to go through the whole process again. After reading around on XDA it doesn't seem like you are required to do this. Does anyone know if it will reinstall the custom recovery image if i don't do this step? I have searched everywhere to figure out the problem. But stilll im coming up with nothing. I have found people with other devices that have this problem. But nothing about fixing it.
If anyone has any ideas i really need help ASAP

try and grant yourself superuser & then try.
"su"
"mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"

You need a space after mount. -o specifies the mount options. The command is mount
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

aye, didn't notice that, couple of needed spaces. I've modified my original post.

Thanks i tried it but now it says mount-o not found.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

If it says mount-o not found there's not a space between mount and -o.
mount -o remount,rw .........

Sorry I read the post about the space after I posted it. But of course I'm having more problems sorry for being such an idiot.
After putting su the command works. But then I try
Mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery-no.sh
It says no such file found. Sorry if I sound like an idiot. It's just rooting my Nexus S is much harder than it was to root my old mt3g.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

No Android expert but I have experience with the CL. Pretty sure you're going to need to cd into the dir or write the full path to the file.
BTW what are the cool kids using for command line these days? Any of them have tab type features? ex: cd /syst<TAB>/me<TAB> for cd /system/media/

I just used root explorer to rename the install-recovery.sh to install-recovery-no.sh. It disabled it from flashing over the clockwork mod recovery on reboot. After disabling it I flashed clockwork recovery again permanently.
Edit: The file is in the etc folder.

Thanks i tried to just rename it with Root Explorer but it says it's a read only file. I can't figure out how to change it so it's not read only.

you have to include the path
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /etc/install-recovery.sh /etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
or
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /etc
mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery.sh.bak
It's really just a lot easier with Root Explorer. If you use root explorer app, you have to push the little button at the top that says "mount r/w" or something like that. I usually do that rather than run the mount command, because I always forget the syntax for that one.

Yeah just hit the "mount R/W" button on top when u open Root Explorer. It changes to "Mount R/O" and u can rename it after that.

[Q] Blur Camera won't install

Alright so here's my problem: After rooting my phone, I started to play around with a couple of camera apps from different ROMs such as MIUI. Me being an idiot though, deleted the stock Blur camera Apk. Using a system dump of the Atrix, 2 I tried to reinstall it, by placing it in system/app. For some reason. It wouldn't install (show up on my app directory). Anybody have any idea as to why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I really need a camera app.that's supports 1080p video. Thanks in advance!!!

Push the sick app via adb. I read somewhere that with apps such as root explorer it doesn't work for some reason. Hope this helps.

Yes, always use adb to push system apps. Root Explorer will not work.

For some reason i get permission denied whenever i try to push through adb. How do i get around this?

To copy anything to /system/app, you need root access.
This will be a 2 step process.
1) push the file from your computer to your phone in a directory that the shell has access to, i.e. /data/local for instance.
2) adb shell into the phone and su, remount /system as rw, then cp the file from /data/local/ to /system/bin
That should elimiate the issue with permission denied, with adb push.

Yes my phone is rooted. How do I remount /system as rw? Then how do i cp the file? Thanks for your help!

I figured out how to push the file with adb, but the app still does not show up. Any other ideas?

Ok, run EVERYTHING between Code:, and End code from the command line. Just make sure you are in the directory you saved your backup camera.apk to, from your windows command prompt, before you run the commands below.
Code:
adb push BlurCamera.apk /data/local
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cd /data/local
cp BlurCamera.apk /system/app
chown root /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
chgrp root /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/BlurCamera.apk
mount -o remount, ro /system
exit
exit
End code
That should hopefully fix it.

Sadly this didn't work either. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Btw, thanks for your help so far!

Quick question....is the blurcamera.odex file still in the system/app. If you have deleted it also you will have to replace it as well.

Thanks for the files! But once again sadly the file doesn't appear under my app drawer. I tried using adb and root explorer, with no luck. Is there anything I'm missing? Btw, JRW are those files from the atrix 2?

There both straight off of my phone...that's weird cause I have removed both of them trying out various cameras and never had a problem reinstalling them?
Are you rebooting afterwards?

Yeah I am. Can you walk me through what you do when you re install the apps? I am really confused. Is there anything that might be interfering?

Go into file explorer and make sure your system folder is r/w along with both the blurcamera.apk and blurcamera.odex.... then drop both of them into system/app and reboot. Wouldn't think anything else would be interfering?

How do I make sure that BlurCamera.apk and BlurCamera.odex are both r/w?

Im not sure if it really matters on them but long pressing on either of them in file explorer should bring up the permissions and you can change from there. Do the same on your system folder just to double check that the permissions are correct

[Q] why can't i gain permission on root explorer?

when i try to copy files to /system/ nothing happens
i mounted as r/w so what could be the problem?

when paste or modifying a file in the root system, you need to tap the r/w to r/o in order to write or change permissions.
If you are doing a 3e mod, don't forget to change the permissions too.

....not working. if i change it to read only it Def not working.

Check again to see what you are doing wrong. Its a toggle to read/write or read only.
If you're using root explorer, you have root.
Infuse n root explorer is not smart enough to pick out just you.
Edit.. Are you trying the 3e mod?
Three are easier way

bad su binary?
does super user show root explorer having super user permission? do you have super user installed? does it give a notification or toast that permissions were granted either when the app starts or on boot?
if that is all ok then open terminal emulator and type
su
(you should see $ change to # and a notification for superuser permissions granted.. if not you likely need to re root the phone)
if that goes OK then type
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
if it has any error like permission denied or invalid argument or can't remount folder exists or anything at all then there is something odd going on, could be something I'm overlooking, could be a bad su binary. try reflashing and don't update the binary if you are on a custom kernel.
edit: overlooking busy box. try installing it from a busybox installer from the market! that should fix it if su is OK.

Also, you may new to delete the app and reinstall, that happened to me and it thought I was trying to pirate the app. It would open but Wouldn't let me move/replace anything.
Then I went and verified I paid for it and everything worked after that.
