I have a rooted S3 running stock 4.1.2. I recently installed the Note 2 Camera on my device but did not back anything up (stupid I know). Well, now the camera works (barely) but is very glichy. I get areas of photos grayed out camera stops from time to time and i get error messages. Anyway, I did the switch to get the slow motion, which isn't very good anyway, so I'd like to just restore my camera back to it's original state.
What files do I need and where can I get them? Where do I install them once I have them? Any help would be appreciated.
Basically, to insall the Note 2 camera I had to use ES File Explorer to copy and paste files into the Device/system/app folder. Not sure if I can just delete those files and replace them with the originals? Also, I do not remember which ones were deleted during the process.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Guess no one can help me restore my original camera app on my phone ????????????

I'd love to help but I'm not even sure I still have the files on my S3 from 4.1.2. And yes you can delete those and replace them with the originals

I am using Astro File Manager on Droid and my .APK files do not have a thumbnail attached to them any more. I tried uninstalling & reinstalling but nothing seems to help. I have verified that the "Show Thumbnails" is checked also. I am not rooted and running Froyo, would I have to reinstall Froya? Is there a fix for this?
Sounds like you might have to delete the file and then reinstall it and see if Astro will pick it back up. I had this issue when I did the manual update with 2.2 FRG01B for some reason but just deleted it and then reinstalled and it picked everything back up... now using FRG22D and no issues once so ever.
Cheers
I am having the same issue but its on my G2 and its stock ROM not rooted. I have astro 2.5.2 from market and it does not create thumbnail for .apk files although it does create thumbnail for pictures and stuff.
I see you say to delete "the" file, I don't know what you mean by that? Do you mean delete all the apk files and put it back in from my back up in the PC? or delete something else?
Please help because this is working fine on my Vibrant and they are the same files that are in the G2 now.
thanks!
Hi all,
Apologies for such a newbie question. I can assure you I have been searching for a couple of hours trying to find the answer but have had no luck.
I have a Galaxy S2 and would like to install 'Potatomans' camera hack to record video at a higher bitrate.
I have followed steps to 'root' the phone which has worked fine but I am having trouble installing the camera hack....
Firstly, I can't rename camera.apk using 'File Expert' (Error: 'could not rename') and there is no option for me to press 'mount' in the top right. (I heard this mentioned as a solution for the problem while searching). So how do I rename camera.apk?
Secondly, When 'Potatomans' instructions say 'copy the file over to system/app' does this mean using a client like Kies or SuperOneClick? As I downloaded the .rar file on my laptop but not sure how to get it into system/app on the S2.
Many thanks,
George

Use "root explorer" to copy your original camera.Apk to a safe location then replace it with the hacked one.
or read up on ADB and use that method.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply (thanks button clicked!)
I have done that but i cannot get it to work, the icon disappears after replacing camera.apk, it has also dissapeared from the applications menu.
When i click on camera.apk (in root explorer) and select 'install' it says 'application not installed' and camera still doesnt work.
Also I have tried replacing the camera mod with the original camera which i renamed camera.apk.bak, this too doesn't work, same result as above when selecting 'install' through root explorer.
Aby ideas? Could really do with getting my camera working, even if it is just the standard one.
Hmmm..
Not entirely sure what may have gone wrong here...
Are you sure that the hacked camera.apk is compatible with the ROM your using?
As for reinstalling the original, if replacing it (after correctly renaming back to camera.apk) doesn't work then you may need to wipe/reset...
If the hacked camera.apk is compatible with your ROM then the easiest thing to do is swap these files over in the actual ROM zip itself before putting it on your SD card and flashing it.

Thanks again for the reply
I have no idea what ROM I have or whether it is compatible. looking in my phones setting it does have a number ending in KG3, I think is a ROM number I have read about on this forum?!
After backing up my images/messages using KIES, what would be the best way to wipe/reset. Does 'restoring to factory settings' using the phones menu actually reset the program files?
Alternatively should I reset it through KIES (if thats even possible).
I think I would end up messing more things up if I tried to swap the files over in the zip file! So will just leave it if its not compatible with my ROM.
I have installed a new rom (ke7) and installed the hacked camera. The camera icon disappeared again but this time the camera WILL work if i access it through the 'gallery'.
So now all I need to do is work out how to create a camera shortcut onto the homescreen and app menu. Any ideas???
I have an Samsung Galaxy S2 running Android 2.33. I put on Google+ app and that was a mistake. It created a folder in my gallery called Instant Upload [with 70 pictures]. I would really like to delete the folder but I am not able and I don't know where the folder is kept. I tried searching with windows explorer and couldn't find the pictures or where the folder is on my phone. I went to Google+ site on my pc and erased the pictures there but still can't erase on my phone. Please help.
Even i also have the same problem, i am not able to delete instant upload folder as well as profile photos folder too from my SGS2 mobile. I tried to delete all the apps and cleared all the memory from my SD card. The problem is i can delete both the folders but again when i open my gallery it ll show the deleted files again. So please help.

hi builder,
finally i found the solution for this, it sounds wired but it ll work 100%.
just follow the following steps, and before doing this i recommend u to take backup of all the data from your phone.
settings>privacy>factory data reset>check (format usb storage)>reset phone.
hope this will help you.

Thanks. It worked but it was a major pain. Google should have made it easier to get rid of. It is like using a bomb to get rid of a fly.
I tried playing around with modified Nfc.apk apps to try and get it to work on my Nexus S with the screen off, but nothing worked. Now I need to put the stock version of the app back, but stupid me accidentally deleted the backed-up apk. Can anyone please help me out?
I've pulled my nfc apk: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3eyvwf9uniia78v/Nfc Service_4.1.2-eng.travp624.20121027.191541.apk
hope it helps!
Thanks so much for the help, but it doesn't work. I copied the file to my system/app folder as "Nfc.apk", changed the read permissions then rebooted the phone, but it doesn't even show up in the system settings as an option. Maybe there is something different about our phones other than the JB version?
Ok I copied this directly from my system/app/ folder: http://db.tt/UOwpirFL
Previous file was a backup I had created with ES file explorer.
Hope it works this time!
Permissions were fixed as rw-r--r--
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Thanks again, but it still doesn't work. You had it right the first time. I did a checksum for both files and they are identical. Do you also have a Nfc.odex file? Maybe if I have that too it would work?
Is your 4.1.2 build number JZO54K?
I'll look for that .odex file and let you know...yes build number is JZO54K
- Sorry mate can't seem to find that .odex file on my phone! Hope someone else can help you with your issue.
Hello Were you able to solve the problem? I have the same situation. Restore files Nfc.apk and Nfc.odex from backup did not help.
(Sorry for the google translate)

Nope, wasn't able to fix it unfortunately
Titanium backup didn't backup the app and the versions I could find and try FC
I have S7 (Non-edge) USC variant on 6.0.1
I just need the folder for it with app and all, and refresher on manual installation method
Most apps don't care it's gone and will ask which app to use instead, but stupid stuff like kik will crash
Thanks

Trying to avoid redoing all the rooting and configuration honestly
Bump
I just need the folder and contents still, anyone?
It's been a week since you made this thread, you could have flashed stock, restored TB and re-rooted in 10-20 mins

You don't know anyone with a PC, or have access to a PC anywhere for a few mins?
Find that hard to believe, PCs are as common as TVs in houses today
Save your TB backup to MicroSD card, factory reset
ATM I have no access to one that I could use to flash a stock rom with, no.
Factory reset then
Wait, I can send you DocumentsUI.
Note, it's a black themed DocunentsUI from Darkside Theme.
Just create a Folder with name "DocumentsUI" in system/priv-app, and place the apk in there.
Give the apk permission 0644 (rw-r-r) and folder 0755.
Reboot.
