Why? What would you like a replacement firmware to do? Remove bloat? Do that with titanium backup (or anything else that can 'freeze' pre-installed crud.) Change the launcher? You can already do that (but it seems most of the replacement launchers are designed more for phones.)
What do you want different that you can't already change?

I gotta say I agree with Gary. Now that we have root and CWM (thanks to Gary) there's not much more I feel compelled to change I can already with root. Perhaps a custom kernel we can OC but this danged this flies now. Perhaps someone can come up with something that'll amaze us all (and that would be very cool!) and I'll be all over it. Right now with ICS looming it might be a better allocation of dev resources to just lay back and wait/see what that brings?
Now custom themes.....THAT would right now peek my interest. Learned a few things from hatman41 on the TF. This might be an excuse to dig back in.
Just an opinion.

I'd like to see a r/w external sd card. Having it be read-only is forcing me to change my process of working. But I do agree with the others, with root and cwm the tab is very very good.

yes i can do that also, but even when it is in r/w, i cant say, save an excel file to the card using quickoffice or any other app for that matter. It will only let me save to the built in storage

Interesting. I was just able to copy/paste from root to a folder on the exStorages and copy a file from the internal to the exStorages (an apk and an ePub)
Just re-read your post. From an app to exStorages. Hmmm...will try that.
Don't have quickoffice but polaris has very few options. Almost too few.

I'd like to see that as well, but it'd probably be a kernel change, not what people here call a ROM change. Let's see, here's how it's currently mounted:
Code:
/dev/block/vold/179:17 /mnt/sdcard/extStorages/SdCard vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1023,fmask=0002,dmask=0002,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
It's already mounted as read-write. The thing that's preventing normal user write access is the uid/gid combo with the fmask/dmask (not sure why samsung didn't just use a umask instead of both of the other masks.) Essentially, what that is doing is say that all the files and directories (including the root of the mount) are readable by anyone, but only writable to the "system" user, or a user in the "media_rw" group. I'm going to take a wild guess that the "camera" application, the "my files" application, and other samsung apps are in that "media_rw" group. (not sure how to check that...)
Interesting... I'm trying to remount it manually (mount -o remount,...) and while it's not giving any error, it's not working either.
I'm not sure how these "vold" mounts work, what options are valid for them, etc. It's an interesting issue, though...
All I want is a deodexed rom. Might have to break out android for dummies and learn how to.
Once we get that then let the theming begin.

Which model do you have? GT-P6210 (wifi only), GT-P6200 (international 3G) or SGH-T869 (USA/TMobile 3G)?
There's no CWMR for the p6200 (yet), but I've already done them for the other two.

Are you fluent with a shell prompt? If so, in order to attempt a CWM recovery (based on what I've already done for the p6210 and t869), please run the following two commands as root via adb shell... (and copy the resulting information)
mount
cat /proc/partitions
.. that will give me a hint as to which partition is probably your recovery partition. Send me that info IN A PM. I'll respond via PM with some more commands (based on the info you send me, I'll need you to dump a partition or two and get the images to me.)
Once I have the proper information and images, I can PROBABLY make a successful CWM recovery image (but please understand that I'll have to recompile a kernel BLIND with no possible way to test myself.)
Take care

in system\build.prop you find
ro.bird.control.naviBar=true
persist.sys.naviBar=true
ro.naviBar.height=54
set it to false, false, 0 and the buttons are gone.
But take care: you need a menu botton. So I would suggest to use the button in top of volume +.
go to /system/usr/keylayout/mtk-kpd.kl and edit "Key 113 to MENU".
Once more: Take care! Without the menu button it´s difficult to save or do anything else!!!!!!! So before reboot set key 113 to MENU!!!!
use e.g. root explorer to do this.
Anybody knows how to repair/activate rear camera on rooted phone? After rooting you have only front camera or no connection to camera. NEED HELP!!!

another way to root is flashing the rooted TAIWAN-ROM. It´s multilanguage of course.
As I wrote the problem is that the rear camera is lost then.
There has to be a solution for it I hope!!!

Hello!
The H2000+ have two internal memories: memory 1 (768Mb) and the phone storage (2GB).
I put another 8 GB SD Card to install the GPS navigation and his maps.
I installed Sygic in phone storage and put the maps on the SD Card of 8 GB.
The Sygic app opens correct, but the maps are not recognized.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Another question: is it possible to install or move apps on the SD Card 8Gb?
Thanks

The internal memory is one, 4GB, and it is partitioned, 2GB as /sdcard ~800MB as /data etc
Probably sygic searches for maps on /sdcard. Find a way to set sygic to read from /sdcard2 (the external micro sd, not sure how is mounted on yours, check with x-plore and tell me), or make a link of the maps folder to /sdcard, using link2sd

Google Wallet Installer for Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S3.
Requires ROOT, an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, and BUSYBOX!(A deodexed ROM is just recommended)
My newest project, RemoteFlash, was just released! Take a look and give it a try!
Wallet Installer Is Now Available For Free To All Supported Carrier Models On XDA! (Donations Appreciated)
My application, "Wallet Installer", will install Google Wallet on almost any US based Samsung Galaxy S3. It simply edits your build.prop and then places the correct modifications into your system. It downloads all the files from my personal server, which is pretty quick. Just select the appropriate Rom type: AOSP, JB Touchwiz, or ICS TouchWiz, and then your carrier: Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, or US Cellular. I also added a restore option for your build.prop, so you can restore it after you setup Google Wallet. Hopefully this helps you out and makes the process easier!
Wallet Installer has been updated on the server side. The credit goes to Paul Obrien for the new version! To install it, simply reset Google Wallet, delete it, and then rerun Wallet Installer! Make sure to also have BusyBox installed/updated!
Please donate if my work helps you : )
V3: No Recovery/More Stable
And as always: I take no responsibility for bricked devices, whether a soft brick or a full on brand new coffee coaster.
Dude. You are awesome. I was just in the official wallet thread and was hesitant on going through with it because it seemed daunting having to change the build prop. I'm about to flash slim Bean 3.1 and then try this out. Will update this post once I finish trying it out . Hopefully all goes well!!!
Well I ended up lagging on the install but just wanna say thanks again because it worked perfectly. First try and not a single problem as of yet. Awesome!!
Glad to help! Hopefully all goes well! If the download stalls just give it a while, my server is a retired galaxy nexus hooked up to WiFi lol. My WiFi sucks sometimes.

Google Wallet Installer for Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 3's(d2vzw)
My application, "WalletInstaller", will install Google Wallet on any Verizon S3. It simply swaps out your build.prop with a modified one and then flashes an open recovery (TWRP 2), and in the open recovery flashes the latest version of Google Wallet along with the required NFC libs for your rom. It downloads all the files from my personal server, which can be somewhat slow, but I'll be upgrading soon. Hopefully there won't be any download issues. Just select the appropriate rom type: AOSP, JB Touchwiz, or ICS TouchWiz. Hopefully it helps you out and makes the process easier! It has been tested on my device, which is running CM10, but the other options haven't been tested, but they should work great. I will also hopefully make it to support all US carrier based S3's after the weekend is over.
My application will be in the market for 99 cents if you feel like supporting the cause(will post link once uploaded), or you can download it here for free. Please don't post links to my application without my personal consent. Thank you!
And as always: I take no responsibilty for bricked devices, whether a soft brick or a full on brand new coffee coaster.

So I installed the app and set it all up just fine, in fact, I was about to test out wallet at a locat establishment but I noticed something was a little weird. I tried to change my wallpaper to a picture in my gallery. For some reason I got an error that "Not enough space. Delete photos, music, etc." Last time I checked I had plenty of space. I opened up setting and storage to find my device storage has a total of 4GB of space (with close to 2GB's of free space remaining). My S3 is a 16GB unit. Obviously things are a bit haywire. I'm running CleanROM 5.0 at the moment so I'm not sure if your app would conflict with that but things were fine prior to this. What do you think?
when i choose ics touchwiz install it loads terminal emulator and says rm failed for /system/build.prop no such file or directory
I'm not sure if my app would interfere quite like that. It shouldn't, but when messing with the build.prop and a custom ROM you can never be positive. If anything else odd happens, pm me and I'll look into it.

It's possible that your system didn't mount properly, or that your ROM is using some sort of mod that moved the build.prop, or it may have been removed or altered by another application.

Here's one question for you...
Why does your installation include TWRP 2.3.1.0.
I already had a CWM Recovery...that was strange to me.....when I get to work I am going to try to flash over that to see if that's the problem. Could be that. But right now I can't access my internal drive let alone the backups if I were to start over.......LOL.....I wouldn't be able to get to.

I'm sorry that you're having trouble. I included TWRP because it uses an open, unencrypted script file to pass commands to recovery. CWM, from my understanding, requires an encrypted, not so universal script file called extended commands. Depending on what recovery someone was running, flashing a script would not work, or it would possibly brick their device. I wanted to make sure everything was done correctly.
Also... I will take a look at all my server side files today and the app. I can't make changes from where I am, since I don't have ftp setup and I'm out of town, but I can download them and see where I may have gone wrong. My best guess is the build.prop swap causing issues, if any of you have possible leads, post them here and I can attempt a fix later today or tomorrow.
BTW...Wallet worked like a charm in 7-11 and Whole Foods
Taking pictures is a little harder too...have to switch to external to save the pictures....the Camera 4.2 doesn't even allow you to switch to external card.
Would be a shame to scrap this working wallet for these issues

I'm getting ready to attempt a flash on CleanRom in a few minutes to see if that's the only ROM having issues. Hopefully you guys can stick this out until everything's working great ; )
I flashed wallet and libs using my app on CleanRom 5. I was able to replicate the same error as you guys posted. Also, I don't know if you guys checked, but in recovery it mounts the internal sdcard perfectly, so that tells me it may have something to do with CleanRom in specific. I'm going to flash through some stock touchwiz ROMs with Odin and see what results I get in that area. Hopefully it's just a ROM specific ordeal. Sorry for the long posts, just trying to keep you all updated!
I had just received a fresh new Galaxy SIII from Asurion and eagerly rooted and flashed my favorite AOSP ROM and found out my camera wasn't working. I search through these forums like a mad man trying to find a solution and I tried EVERYTHING but then I read someone's reply to troubleshooting and I admit I may have been overlooking the wording in some of these guides as to the path of my camera files but I fixed it and I want to share my findings so someone who is having a similar issue can get it fixed too. I'm also going to add the methods that didn't work but may work in other cases.
This fix ultimately replaces bad or missing firmware files. If you haven't tried Odin back to stock, re-rooting, or wiping data and getting a fresh start, I would recommend that first. This is more or less if sh** hits the fan.
THIS IS ONLY FOR THE GALAXY SIII
***MY FIX***
BACKUP ANYTHING IMPORTANT JUST IN CASE
Download this zip https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/91693945/CameraFiles-signed.zip
Flash using Recovery
Wipe Cache & Dalvik (optional)
Fix Permissions
Reboot into Android
Start the camera app and cross your fingers
***MY FIX (Old Way)***
Download any TouchWiz based ROM to your phone or computer.
Unzip the ROM
Goto /system/cameradata and copy all the SlimISP files to your phone.
Goto /data and there should be another SlimISP bin file, copy that but don't mix it up.
Move these to the files to the corresponding areas of your phone.
Check permissions, I granted full access to Root, and User
Start the camera app and cross your fingers
Reboot if it didn't work immediately
I recommend keeping a copy of these on your ExtSD if you have one because you will have to do this if you flash a new ROM.

Appreciate the guide, hope it helps someone down the road. I'm in the camp that has no issues going back and forth between AOSP 4.3 or TW. I'll add this Rootz link as well which provides some additional information and might be making its way into roms via Github. Seems like as good an opportunity to spread the wealth.

If people have questions post them here or PM me I want to help anyone having this issue. Being as attached to my phone as I am I was really put out by all the trial and error.

I am facing the same problem on my iphone clone - zophone i5 v8. These models do not have a "cameradata" folder in /system. Do you have a fix for these MTK phones?

Me too had problem with camera, but it seems like i got fixed it finally... I have a Cubot One MTK6589 with Miui rom. The steps are:
1. http://d-h.st/BKA download this file and flash it. It will install jb camera for your mobile.
2. check it
3. if it works delete the old camera app with titanium backup because if u run the old bad camera app the problem will come back and u have to flash again.
4. install some good camera app like camera awesome because for me the jb camera doesn't detected my front camera.
I hope this will help you!
Will Try

I flashed successfully...but I do not see any camera app installed? I can see the Galary app. Even tried deleting original camera app by Titanium, still same issue.
Thank you. I also had this problem with any aosp ROM but the fix stopped working for me with the kk ROMs did you have the same problem?

I had just received a fresh new Galaxy SIII from Asurion and eagerly rooted and flashed my favorite AOSP ROM and found out my camera wasn't working. I search through these forums like a mad man trying to find a solution and I tried EVERYTHING but then I read someone's reply to troubleshooting and I admit I may have been overlooking the wording in some of these guides as to the path of my camera files but I fixed it and I want to share my findings so someone who is having a similar issue can get it fixed too. I'm also going to add the methods that didn't work but may work in other cases.
This fix ultimately replaces bad or missing firmware files. If you haven't tried Odin back to stock, re-rooting, or wiping data and getting a fresh start, I would recommend that first. This is more or less if sh** hits the fan.
THIS IS ONLY FOR THE GALAXY SIII
***MY FIX***
BACKUP ANYTHING IMPORTANT JUST IN CASE
Download this zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/bt1ucpgb9xfmjbi/CameraFiles-signed.zip
Flash using Recovery
Wipe Cache & Dalvik (optional)
Fix Permissions
Reboot into Android
Start the camera app and cross your fingers
***MY FIX (Old Way)***
Download any TouchWiz based ROM to your phone or computer.
Unzip the ROM
Goto /system/cameradata and copy all the SlimISP files to your phone.
Goto /data and there should be another SlimISP bin file, copy that but don't mix it up.
Move these to the files to the corresponding areas of your phone.
Check permissions, I granted full access to Root, and User
Start the camera app and cross your fingers
Reboot if it didn't work immediately
I recommend keeping a copy of these on your ExtSD if you have one because you will have to do this if you flash a new ROM.
***Other Guides***
Same sort of directions also contains files you can download.

This is an explanation to what I put above and the guide that ultimately fixed my problems (Single-Post rest of thread is helpful too).

For all you TouchWiz lovers, this might not be as relevant anymore but I'm putting it here anyway.

The file is not available on dropbox for download , i am using AOKP on SG3 and the camera stops working if i open through whatsapp or any other app and when i go back to the camera it gives that error
Try the One+ One or AOSP modded cameras in the Apps and Themes section. One+ One camera is awesome!

Link fixed, sorry I don't really keep up with this anymore, my bad
fix front camera
work for my mtk device
edit builtprop, open the editor and change or add
hw.cameras=1
ro.camera.dcim=1
explanation
# hw cameras
hw.cameras = 2 (1 only for the Front, 2 for the Front & Back)
# camera DCIM dir. 0: sd only; 1: nand only; 2, sd first
ro.camera.dcim = 1
This is likely to occur due to the use of internal memory is converted into ROM
while the external sdcard memory is converted into internal
hopefully work
:cyclops:
Just sharing:
flashing didn't work, used servicely and added camera service to hitlist.
can i use it on galaxy core
Is there a way to get the camera app to save the video files directly onto a usb stick over otg instead of saving to the internal memory?

It seems like that's not enough. Ive read that i need to flash chaos or mehdi kernel so it detects the usb otg as a special drive or something. Stickmount doesnt work because i cant select anythung on the usb stick as the destination folder.

Foldermount does work with stickmount. It was updated a long time ago to work with it.

In foldermount when I try and select the usb stick as the destination, I type in the path which is usb://1002/ but it doesn't work and says to check permissions but I'm not sure which permissions it wants me to check.

im not sure that is the path. It used to be /sdcard/UsbStorage .. double check that.

I tried this too and it's not saving the pictures on there. The path for me is /storage/emulated/legacy/usbStorage and the source is /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera
The photos are just not moving to the USB stick at all and they aren't showing up in the DCIM/Camera folder either. They just don't even get saved on the phone or the USB stick
Sounds like you're doing something wrong...
By the way, stick mount tells you in description on play that the location I said is correct. Not your location. Who told you it was that?

Oh no like I said in my previous post, the actual path was the one you told me and not the usb://1002/ one I said. I can't think of what could be wrong.

Screen recorder apps will often save in their own folders and have to be moved from there to another destination. Are you on Lollipop? Try A-Z Recorder, it's very nice and free. Try copy and pasting the path you want to save rather than typing to ensure you get it exact. If for some reason you can't write to USB I know you can move files to USB after recording.
Can you replace /sdcard/DCIM/... with a symlink to the place it mounts the OTG partition?
