Tap-to-Focus Camera [ICS]

Does anyone know of a way to install a version of the ICS camera into a rom which contains the tap-to-focus function? Hopefully there is a flashable zip that I haven't come across.
If its a matter of replacing files using Root Explorer, that's not a problem. However, if I have to use adb to do this, I would love instructions on how to do so.
Of course this will not be possible without the actual files/apk of the tap-to-focus feature.
Thanks in advance to anyone with answers.
Edit: Thanks to dr911 he was able to direct me in the right direction on how to enable this feature.

I don't know if all these files are really needed, but I took them from AOKP and dropped them into the system: system/app/Camera.apk, system/lib/libcamera_client.so, system/lib/libcameraservice.so, system/lib/hw/camera.herring.so. Someone posted it in a thread here on XDA, but I don't remember.

Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate the help!

So now what , how and where the files are ???
It's like saying I know a good resturant , I forgot its name and I don't know where is it

The files are contained within the AOKP rom for the Nexus S 4G as posted. You just download the rom and extract the files. Once you've extracted them, just place them in the same folders within your current rom.

My reply to the OP implied all things mentioned there as given knowledge! And The Batman seems to understand.
If you have the right tools like QtADB it's all just drag'n'drop...

I see now .. my bad sorry
Can you please post a link for the ROM ? for some reason I was confused on the tons of ROM in the dev section ... And do these files work with stock odexed 4.0.4 ROM ? and does thip tap to focus work flowlessly ?

I'm using the stock rom from the update pushed through by Sprint which I of course rooted, and everything is working perfectly fine.
The download link is contained within the development section. Its titled [ROM][AOSP][INFO] Android Open Kang Project - Crespo4g Build 30 [4-7-12].
It is on the first page in the development section.

Are you also able to activate the power button as shutter? The combo TTF and PowerShutter was why I chose AOKP as source ROM.
I think, some things have to be done with hardware buttons, such as camera shutter and music track skipping.
And by the way, are you able to use the video effects? I don't know if it is related to these files or the ROM I use, but they don't work here! I don't need those, so I don't care!

The power button does not work as a way to take photos. But as of right now, I'm very pleased with how this has turned out. I'm running the closest thing to stock with the tap-to-focus feature along with the Face to Unlock security feature which I found as a flashable zip on Android Forums I believe.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

Did you activate that feature in camera settings? After that you have to restart the camera, else just your screen turns off.
EDIT1: So i just made a flashable zip from the files for anyone who isn't that familiar with Root Explorer or ADB. I hope it works, hadn't the time to test it, so better you make a backup before flashing (as always)
@The Batman: are you now able to use the power button as shutter?
EDIT2: New zip should also enable video effects on ICS ROMs that lack this function. Tested on I9023 with slimICS 3.3.
All credits to Team KANG and the people here on XDA, because I just took the files from AOKP that were mentioned in some posts here on XDA and put them into a flashable zip file (I also took the template for that from the forums, call me a pirate )

Yes, the power button now works. Users just have to make sure that they use the AOKP camera.apk and not the stock camera.Google.apk.

On the CM9 V6 rom :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399035
There is actually a tap to focus function. So try flashing CM9 if you want to give it a go.

Sorry to say that, but do you even read the threads you reply to??? I've looked through your last posts and in two of them you recommend flashing CM9 V6 where no one asks for flashing a new rom. These threads are not even two pages long...
Here someone asked for a way to integrate TTF-cam into the stock ROM, in the other thread someone asked for a recovery and you also recommend to flash CM9!?

Does that mean both original ICS camera AND the TTF camera work toghther ? and I can choose which one to use ? i.e not lossing one ...

Yes. Or you can delete the camera.Google.apk and still have the camera from the AOKP rom which would then allow you to use the power button to snap pictures.

Depends on the ROM you are using and if that ROM contains the Google camera app or AOSP camera app.
But I think there is no advantage in having both side by side as the AOKP cam should have all features of the stock cam plus TTF and PS...

Has anyone tried this?

Do you have a custom recovery? If yes, place the file in the root of your SD-Card/USB-storage and flash it via recovery!
If you have a moment, I'll try the zip on my phone (forgot about it, sorry)!
EDIT: The zip flashed without errors in ClockWorkMod Recovery, so it should also work for others!

Well IMO , the last thing you wanna do is putting an extra function for the power button ... It is so weak and valunrable to break just doing it job opening the screen lock ..
Just my 2 cents , but the TTF is a good feature to have no doubt

[Q] Beats Audio on Stock/Rooted?

I tried to ask the question in the appropriate thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28015542&postcount=27
But that thread got LOCKED and a redirect was posted to a "general" thread for further discussion but that given thread doesn't seem to be "Device Specific" to the TF300T, thus I'm not inclined to post my question there.
Can anyone answer this as in if Beats Audio will work on stock-rooted us.30 (Not unlocked), and post the exact install method so I don't end up "bricking"?
Thanks.

It's a flashable zip, so you can't install it if you aren't unlocked.

I understand it couldn't be flashed, however, there was mention of the possibility to "extract" the .zip and manually overwrite system files but it was never confirmed so I am basically asking if this method would work... :fingers-crossed:

Works fine, all I did was put /system from the zip on my sdcard and used a root explorer to merge it with the real /system. Just looks like a glorified DSPManager without as many options and BEATS written all over it, but it works...

Nope, just dropped them in, if you want back up any system files that get replaced (if there are any, I didn't check), but you can always just pull them from a stock ROM if necessary. For your other questions, I have no idea, all I saw was the Awesome BEATS app, I figured that was all it was. I'll look at it.
Edit: found the Music effects option, right under Sound in the settings. Switched from MusicFX to Awesome BEATS.

Thanks for the follow-up. I just now copied them again/rebooted as I didn't see any of the new files in /system... This time it worked! I have both the App and the mentioned Settings which I've also switched to Awesome BEATS.
Now to play a little and see how this works. I think it is designed to have best effect (sound quality improvement) using BT and/or headphones but I could be wrong.

Nice. I'd completed this mod myself when I got my s4 shortly after release, but never got around to testing it (did the same thing for my s2 back in the day). Got distracted trying to turn it into a vrtheme to make it compatible with 'all' version of camera (this way it replaces the resource files in apk and keeps that current version of camera installed). It's still just sitting in a couple of folders somewhere on my server....
(However, I think apk version means you should be able to push with adb without requiring root??)

I'm on a bell i9505 and it crashes on me after 3 seconds of use
Unfortunately I screwed up and my backup of my stock aPk was unsuccessful
Can someone please give me the stock aPk for the camera or tell me how I'd go about fixing my camera app

Couple of options...flash your rom again (extreme!) or just replace the modded apk with original apk. Some roms include updated camera software (not sure if there has been an update, but you never know) so best to get apk from the same rom version you are currently running
Also, need to make sure rom is deodexed (you could try deleting the associated odex file and see if crash stops)

(this works in my head...) You use a vrtheme (flashable zip) that replaces the ogg files (resources) in the apk with silent ogg files (vrtheme usually replaces the image resources so that you can change the look of apps such as what you see HERE)

[Stock] International Note 3 Bootanimation

Hi guys I have tried to get the stock international note 3 bootanimation along with the stock boot animation sound of the international note 3. I have tried on mine and it works ok. Remember to make a backup copy of the files you will replace in case you something happen or you dont want it.
Directions
1. Unzip the folder
2. Copy the bootsamsung.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, bootsamsungmini.qmg, bootsamsungminiloop.qmg on system/media folder ( Make sure you correct the permission)
3. Copy the PowerOn.ogg on system/media/audio/ui (Make sure the permission is correct)
4. Reboot and no more At&t Crap bootanimation
UPDATE: Added shutdown animation of stock international
1. Unzip the folder
2. Copy the shutdown.qmg to system/media folder Make sure the permission is correct (now on at&t just removed the shutdownloop.qmg not sure if that file is present on t-mo but you can remove it or just transfer it to your sd card)
3. Reboot and you wont have the loop circle animation when you shutdown your device

Thank you sinichi21! Works perfectly. Finally rid of the last att crapware on my Straight Talk device.

Thank you sir! I was trying to get rid of the AT&T boot animation before through Rom Toolbox but it just made my lockscreen flash on/off. This is a cleaner solution.
I opted to not use the sound file, but renamed the stock one to PowerOn.bak and now I have a silent boot.

Long press the .apk you just pasted and select PERMISSIONS and make sure you change permissions to match the original such as rw-r--r-- in this case. Make sure you do this for each .apk you paste so it matches permissions for the apk you are replacing.

wow it works awesome.. I just tried it on my bro's note 3.. thank u very much...

Wow thanks for the post, always thought this would be a little trickier. Don't know why people risk flashing "unknown" .zips to try and do this when all you gotta do is move a few files around but I digress. Thanks again for telling us the correct files, and for the ones you gave us it works perfect :thumbup:

As a quick side note, for anyone wanting to ditch boot sounds, the 'poweron.ogg' file can be renamed to 'nopoweron.ogg' or even removed to avoid boot sounds with any animation

[MOD] Volume boost for s4 with Kitkat 4.4.2

old Volume boost by boterkaaseneieren mods is locked and doesn't work on kitkat so i had a look at the new soundfiles and i created new sound boost mod.
Howto ?
1 easy way :
----------------
- download & extract sound mod of your choice to your phone
- Open a filebrowser that supports root
- Go to \system\etc\snd_soc_msm\
- IMPORTANT : copy to a safe place or rename snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 before replacing with the modded file so you can restore if my default settings file don't work for you. If there exist no such file, then this mod is not for your phone
- Set permissions to rw-r-r-
- Reboot.
You now should have louder volume
2 Do it yourself way
-------------------------
i will explain for speaker, all the rest goes the same way
1 Copy snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 from the directory system/etc/snd_soc_msm/ to your pc and open it with notepad++
2 search for 'speaker' (it is somewhere in the middle of the file) and after that look a little lower for 'digital volume' -> it will probably be somewhere around 65% by default
3 Change from (+/-) 65 to 70-75% depending on your wish to have louder or super loud speakers (don't go over 75% as it is very loud and might break your speaker !)
It is the same way for every sound option, search for the digital volume for the option you want to change (these parameters are all somewhere in the middle of the file) and change from 70 up to 75%
4 Once you have saved you must copy these files back to your phone and set permissions to rw-r-r (easy done in root explorer) and reboot to see if it worked.
Don't put at maximum volume with the Super Soundboost if your music is recorded loud allready, you and only you are responsible for your ears and device so use with caution
​
Let us know if it works on your device also (Kitkat only !)
Credits go to eheinzeiii for showing me what to look for in the soundfiles.
This post was created to make speaker louder
Post 4 has updated files for people who want Everything (except bluetooth) louder
FOR PEOPLE WITH i9506 try this : POST 51
FOR people who can't get louder volume with any off my mods please try this : Post 57

When i flashed the old Volume boost by boterkaaseneieren mods on my kitkat rom it resulted in having no sound while making a call so i had a look at the new soundfiles and i created some new files.

- download & extract sound mod to your phone
- Open a filebrowser that supports root
- Go to \system\etc\snd_soc_msm\
- Rename or (copy to a safe place) snd_soc_msm_2x_Fusion3 and replace with the soundmod of your choice.
- Set permissions to rw-r-r-
- Reboot.
If all goes well you should have louder volume, both in speaker and in earpiece.

Using this with omni rom, seems to be doing the trick whereas flashing the old zips crippled Google voice search and sound search.

Changelog :
added sound boost for remaining channels such as VOIP & earphones.
Bluetooth i cannot find how to make louder

Thanks for the update, I've replaced the original file aswell as updating the nightly on omni rom. Works fine for me, but I've only been able to test it on music through the speaker and a phone call through the earpiece and also speaker.
All seems to be working and nice and loud. Btw I'm using the medium loudness file, loud enough for me.

Can you or someone else test it and share toughts because i have no i9500.
If you make sure that you rename the original file to .bak in the end before replacing it with the new file there will be no problem to rename it again and revert to your original files if something goes wrong and you get no more sound. Other then that make sure you follow the other guidelines also about setting permissions and reboot after every replacement

Ouch, that's to bad, do you have the same folder (etc/snd_soc_msm/ or something simular) ? if so you can always send the files inside in a pm and i'd be happy to take a look at them.

This is what I have in etc

Any chance of seeing the zip soon? I'm on the CM nightlies and it would be sooo convenient rather than doing it manually every day...
Cheers

Seems to be working fine on the new TW 4.4.2 leak. I'm running it on Omega v20.
