Hmm, can't seem to download this anymore, stuck on Authorizing Credit Card...
I'm on Haykuro's ADP1.5Hr3, but mainly was wondering if others have checked out the Cupcake-compatible version. The note mentioned that you download the original version, go to About to find the link to download the Cupcake-beta version (DO NOT PUBLISH LINK, I'M NOT LOOKING FOR THE LINK, Bratag specifically said LINK is private for paid owners, I'm an owner, but can't prove that here).
If you have played with the beta version, can you do a review here? I'm really curious.
Basically, its the snap photo pro you are used to. No zoom or video. When you click on video in the app, it just takes you to the stock video recorder. Looks like all the options are the same tho
Just email him he'll send you a apk.That's what I did but you have to send him a copy of the receipt that you paid for it. It's pretty much like the dudes build camera.
hope this helps

Yeah, pretty much same app, just, at least for me, a bit more force closing.

I reported that it force closes for me when I go to settings (I wiped my phone) to the author of the app, hopefully a fix will be out soon
Ok the force close issue is fixed in the beta for cupcake as I have repeatedly said.
Ok to address the issues
1) This build is jsut to get the app stable on cupcake I am not adding new functionality. This may come as a surprise to everyone but cupcake isnt a magic wand that put new functionality into the camera.
2) yes it takes you to the standard video camera. I have two open bugs with google which deal with the fact that when I try and set a camera device as the input fr the video it force closes. This despite the fact the function setCamera has one purpose and that is to set a camera device as the input.
3) Zoom. It was in the sdk - it wasnt in the sdk. Dont blame me. HTC's camera is obviously built off the old sdk as it would seem is the device driver etc to go along with it. It sucks I know - deal with it.

whoa man I don't think anyone here was speaking badly about it, the op asked for a review. I use it as my regular camera again. I don't have any issues with it.

All I know is I paid for the app, put have no receipt to forward for proof. Worked fine and now does not with 1.5 build when applying settings.
Bratag, rather than get ruffled, why not wait for the final 1.5 build (which is now) and base the official update on that? The camera is way faster with 1.5and even more so than your app. Trying to update without a stable 1.5 build seems a little futile.
The combination of the 1.5 updated camera speed and your app features will be like peanut butter and chocolate (good stuff).

The update I have prepared is based on the final build. Sorry its been a bad couple of days. If you paid for the app then you know where to go looking for the beta version for cupcake. I have to say that the shutter speed etc in cupcake has been improved and you can see the difference in that and several other things in the pro cupcake release.
I'm really liking the new release for cupcake. Even if there's no new features, it's good to have a better camera app on the phone, I can't stand the default app. Keep it going, Bratag, and I look forward to future versions of Snap Photo Pro!
I was the first one with the cupcake build. It works great, a few force closes here and there, but overall pretty stable. When I first got it, there was a bug where you couldn't set it as the default camera app. I let him know, and he fixed it the next day.
Bratag thank you again for all your work, I hope you you solved your problems with those websites. It's a shame some people are assholes.
I know this thread is a bit old, but wanted to relate my own experiences:
I PURCHASED it, knowing that I needed to email Bratag for the 1.5/Cupcake update, and did so.
This was almost 2 weeks ago, and although I was sure he'd want to wait until after my refund time limit expired, I'm still waiting...
In case, Bratag, you need my email, it's [email protected], and the fee was paid thru Google Checkout. I can get my receipt, if you need it, but I already emailed it to ya'...

You were supposed to install the latest version and go to About to get the link for the Cupcake version.

Yup, that's all you have to do.
i downloaded the apk for pro....but it "force close" whenever i go to settings on my 1.5
Yes, it will F/C on settings. Instead of hitting Settings, click About instead, and download that APK it links to.
Install that, and you'll have a fully-working Snap Photo Pro on 1.5.
OK, that would be wonderful, except that I can't get SPPv1.30 to OPEN AT ALL. It F/C's as soon as it's opened, so how am I to get to the link in the about screen? I've tried on JF1.5 and Dude's newest (as of yesterday).
As well, WHEN I BOUGHT IT, the instructions were to email the developer, and he would SEND PURCHASER THE CORRECT VERSION. That is what I did, and am still waiting for him to do...
In the meantime, I'm stuck back on SPPv1.2.6/7 (still works OK), and waiting for a workaround that works...
Not sure I understand why he doesn't just separate the releases, and put them both on the Market. It would eliminate this whole issue, IMHO.
Well, elaborate, but what you could do is...
Make a nandroid backup. Flash back to RC33, and install Snap Photo Pro. Open up about and jot down the link. Navigate to it just to be sure you've got the right one.
Flash back to 1.5 and restore your nandroid backup. Download Snap Photo Pro for cupcake on the link you wrote down, and voila!

If he separated the releases, everyone would have to purchase the program again to have the 1.5 version. Obviously you would be just as pissed off about that as you are about not being able to get the 1.5 version to download.
Now, have you tried completely uninstalling the program, install the latest version from the market, and ONLY going to the about screen once it opens? I am actually running the market release on my ADP1.5, I can even use it (provided I don't try to enter the settings screen).
Or, maybe, just maybe... show some patience. As Bratag said, once firmware 1.5 is widespread (not just some EU/UK users and ADP phones, he will update SPP on the market.
Cupcake version is on Market now.

Hey guys,
Is anyone brave enough to test the full feature 1.5 build of Open Home Full? We know we can always find some brave ones here
It requires that you are running android 1.5 on your phone (aka Cupcake). This build has full supports of 1.5 widgets and also a good amount of stability and performance improvements.
We had not done a lot of testing on this build; also this build will expire in a month (5/30). If you want to test the latest and greatest, feel free to install and try this build.
*Remember safe mode is hold menu button when powering on*, if you see anything wrong, just enter safe mode and then uninstall it.
Do NOT install unless you are running android 1.5
Download the apk at
http://groups.google.com/group/openhome/files
I assume since I'm running the dudes build and it supports widgets it may work. I can always remove if necessary . This doesnt remove open home right? just a different version?
EDIT: it replaces the existing open home
Hmm, I was impressed with the demo of OpenHome when I downloaded it a couple days ago. I'll take a look.
downloading it now. I have just flashed the holiday cupcake build so I assume it'll work with this. I'll let you know.
So far so good. I am glad to have openhome back again in 1.5
I have added all widgets, and they all work as expected. Are some of these the 1.5 "stock" widgets? I assume so because i see 2 music widgets listed, one looks like your own and the other a stock one.
I'll let you know how it goes after some proper usage. great work so far though. thankyou.
oh, p.s .. Will this be a free upgrade for those who had previosly purchased open home full ?
Works well enough. I like it.
Normally use full edition but will keep this until it is updated.
Suggestion: How about that calendar widget from Haykuro's build so those with dude's builds can use it?
Using it. Works well so far. I'm an OH Full user too, will I have any problems going back to the market app when it gets updated/released?
Ps. Is there any way to add support for Jeff Sharky's weather widgets? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509729

Hey guys i like the changes the menus are a little more intuitive now! Shame it doesn't seem to maintain your icons from older version, but weirdly kept my fonts theme etc - not sure if that qualigfies as a bug or not really
One problem i have found though is it seems to scrap folder icons the second you open bettercut again, not a huge problem but ....
BUGS!
I have almost 200 apps to SD so it's convenient to have my favorite "few" on the desktop. After I installed the new apk file... everything was GONE! Huge inconvenience! Then when I pull up the app menu I can watch them appear one after another like the app is doing a search for the installed apps. I also tried Picture Frame. It seems like it pulls up the Camera app, then the gallery. I selected my picture. Cropped it. Saved it. Then it went back to "select picture" again. Strange. Also... AnyCut Open Home Edition doesn't work. Definite bugs.
Other then that I love it. Thanks! Is this going to be in an update and when will it be available in Market? I purchased the full version months ago.

I don't think it has anything to do with bettercut because I don't have it installed and it still goes back to the default folder icons randomly, sometimes it comes back sometimes it doesn't.

Hey quick question, is there any way to add a 3d effect on swipe? Like when you swipe to left or right screen, screen shrinks and rotates as a 3d cube. That will be awesome dude, you can name the app something different and charge for it again because I know damn well people will pay for it. I definitely will.

But it's not 'open' in any sense...
Really dissapointed in losing all of my icons on all 7 screens. Glad that "real" widget support was actually added in. Almost went back to dxTop because of this. Please make the full version available on the market as an upgrade to the old full version. It would be nice to make it detect the old settigns and import them in.

Today i downloaded the newest version of Babbler for Android. i use Babble as my main facebook app because the official one is still lacking a bit. i do infact use the widget that comes with the official app though because its very nice. the newest version of babbler is pretty lame and a lot of the functions dont work as well as they did on the last version. is there anyway to revert back? i looked at the developers website but i couldnt find anything useful there. any help would be great!
More than likely if you weren't able to make a back up of the older version your out of luck. IMO the best thing to do is let the developer of the app know what problems you're having with it. Most of the android app devs are pretty quick to respond to issues with their apps. If it affects you it probably affects others.
Make a comment in the market or even better if available send them an email with as many details as possible.
go to the website cyanogen provided for the adp 1.6 image and download the 1.5 image
im not trying to go from donut back to cupcake. i am using a hero rom so im on cupcake by default. i want to downgrade to an older version of an application (babbler).
So I updated to FroYo manually thanks to the methods posted here. I've nearly reinstalled all my apps with the exclusion of one; Square. I cannot find it in the market and thought maybe the dev pulled it, but it shows up in 2.1 and web-based market browsers, just not in 2.2. Anyone else experiencing this? Can I just force the apk onto the phone somehow?

Same here.. seems like the copy protected apps are having problems.
This is not root or something else regarded - everyone has these issues.
Regards
Great to hear I'm not alone, but being an early adopter can sometimes blow (in the BAD way) =\
Is this being discussed in another thread? I did a search prior to posting and came up empty
EDIT: Mods, thanks for moving this to the appropriate forum. I've seen mention of this issue appear in various threads, though no thread of it's own. Will wait for devs to catch up with 2.2
I reported the same problem on modaco last night... I'm sure google will enable de protected apps this week, just a slight oversight on their side.
i had same problem, just put them apk on your sd card and install it. if it is being a stubborn app like a certain few just copy/paste or move them to data/private-app and install from in there. should take care of it 4 u.
Same problem here (Tapatalk Pro and Extended Controls missing).
when you create an app you can set a max api level to support, or not.
applications that have that set won't show on newer devices.
exzeus, square, and a few others seem to have done it...
give them about a month or so and you should see them come around.

Having the same issue here. Wife's N1 can't find WeatherBug Elite, or the Helix Launcher in the market. Even after reboot.
Same. Paul actually fixes it in his roms by changing the Rom fingerprint. Some of the unofficial nexus updates he integrated did the same thing to protected apps. Once fingerprint was changed, it seemed to have done the magic. I'm guessing that he will do the same next week for froyo.
Same here my paid app wont show up which means I may be losing sales so I'm pissed right now
Yeah, so no MLB app at the moment... which makes me unhappy.

Cool.. Just loaded it on vegan beta 5.1. Seems to work just fine. Don't know if I see any more stuff, but never really had a problem finding things with the other ones.
I do notice that the appearance seems crisper. Like maybe they are using a higher quality. Or, maybe not.
Still the same for me. Stars still truncated. Missing apps still missing.
The new apk is about 600 MBA larger than earlier one.
Jim
Just for fun I went ahead and did the market fix again. Didn't need to but I saw the earlier post and was curious. I never could get it to open after the first reboot. Had to reboot again. Then once it started working I have noticed more of the "android.process.acore" errors, and server errors then with the older one. I will be rolling back to a previous version myself since this doesn't seem to really make anything better.

Works for me
I'm running vegan 5.1 with pershoots latest kernel and here are my findings thus far. I backed up market with titanium and installed the update, immediately opened market. Everything looks to be there, I searched for a few things and installed one or two. I looked for adw and couldn't find it, I did see its themes but not the app. Rebooted, loaded up market no fc's, until I tried to roll back to previous version to look for adw because I am almost certain it was there before. Interestingly I did see appbrain which I've never been able to get before. Never tried market fix, and did not notice any image improvement. Anyone know for certain what to look for to see if it actually improves previous market? I'm going to try and fix my market now and will report back if anyone's interested.
I installed via the apk (there is also an update.zip available) and all working well. No reboot or clearing Google Services Framework required.
I had previously preformed the well documented market fixes but could never quite get the entire market. Everything appears to show up now.
I'm not sure it is complete I can't find a few things. But then again I found a bunch of things I couldn't find before either. Catch 22 yet again.
anyone else having a problem with 'Media Volume' not working after this update? The rocker doesn't work, I tried to go in the settings (I had to unmute and turn the system sound back up - no dice), I even tried to play a video and turn up the sound using the software controls within that program....nothing works.
How do I revert back? Where is the old .apk located?
....also had to turn my wi-fi on with each reboot, which is new.
Running Vegan5.1
I think it would be most helpful if you guys actually listed the names of the titles of the apps that you either DO or DO NOT see once you have tried this. Just might help in the troubleshooting aspect. For what its worth.
ckelly,
search xda for market or vending.apk and you will find many versions to play with
Volume corrected on reboot #2.
Wi-Fi still needs to be manually connected..

Since this appears to not improve things, you must have had even less apps show up than we did and this update brought you to par with the rest of us. Everything is relative
Cine Shot (Partial Motion Still Photos) working on LG V30 - APP link & Instructions.
Hey all, been a while since I've had any new discoveries because I have been busy with a move across the country, but I think this one was worth waiting for :good:
This post is a tough one to categorize, as its an "app" and its a "mod" but I also needed to include a little guide to help you all get it working. So I went with the Apps and Mods section, but if an Admin thinks this should go in the Guides section, I am totally cool with that.
Pre Install Notes:
This has been tested on my Rooted & Frankensteined LG V30 ThinQ LS-L998 on Sprint running US99827a software Security Patch Jan 1.19.
I do not know if this will work on non rooted devices simply because I haven't been able to test it on one. I do believe that this will work the same on a non-root V30 but I'll wait for confirmation from one of you... SOOOO if you have a non rooted device and you try this out, please let us know if its working.
Thank Yous:
A big thanks to @trouble. for requesting the G8 stock system apps in the G8 section & thanks to @iknow786 for originally providing the files which I used to make the link to the cineshot app below. If I did not happen across that thread we wouldn't have this new trick, so thank you both. Also a big thanks to all of the awesome folks that have kept the V30 development alive and kicking this long into the devices lifecycle. Very cool to see so many talented people still doing things for this community every single day. I cant begin to list everyone, but if you are active in here, you know who the folks are that have been grinding away at this all this time.
Ok so lets get you CineShooting!
Step 1) Go to the following link...
https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1Pxy8B1k19Q8ALiHc1FeYUHb3c8y4DnJI
Steo 1a) Download, and install the CineShot apk.
(Im hosting this on one of my drives, so if anyone has issues with the download, now or months from now, PM me and I'll fix it. If its a while from now and you just write "dead link" in this thread I prob won't see it, so that's why I am recommending a PM. )
(Since I have not yet figured out how to integrate this new app into our camera app, you will need to launch the CineShot main process using one of the programs I will mention in step 2. I am including some screenshots for those new to this. Hopefully this post will be updated in the future with how to integrate the cineshot capabilities into the regular camera section, but for now this is what we have)
Step 2) Once you have installed the CineShot apk to your device you will need a shortcut maker program to access it.
Personally I am partial to Shortcut Master, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite&hl=en but other apps like "QuicksShortcutMaker" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut&hl=en_US (tested and works) should word as well. So if you don't already have one, download one of those two or your own favorite.
Step 2a) Open your shortcut program and find CineShot by either scrolling to it or searching "Cine" or "CineShot". No matter which program you used you should see at least one option under the CineShot app ending with the words ".MainActivity ". Go ahead and favorite or create shortcut for this process, as you'll want to have a quick way to get back to CineShot mode. Now go ahead and click that option and your device should launch into cineshot mode.

Pretty basic stuff here. Point and shoot at whatever you want (objects should be moving in your frame otherwise your just taking a normal picture). It will record 3 seconds. After it stabilizes your "video" it will then show you options to draw with your finger on the moving parts of the images that you still want to move. Do this, and then save. You now have a cineshot image with partial movement of the image.
That's it. Pretty easy stuff. If you followed the very simple steps you should be able to record using either your front or back camera, and cineshot should be fully working, or at least as fully as it can on our devices. Enjoy.
I don't have any fun stuff nearby to post a good example of a cool Cine Shot Pic, so if you guys and gals take any, please share so people can see what the fuss is about.
And as always, feel free to share the love with a click on that "Thanks" button if this post helped you out

Side Note: From that same cache of G8 apks, I was able to get the My Avatar app partially working using the same steps as above but with that specific APK obviously. Unfortunately, while it will take my picture, it will not spit out an avatar, so some sort of framework or back end stuff is not enabled. Anyone that has access to the newer devices with this, if you can find the additional necessary files, we could prob get this working too.
Anyone interested in checking out the G8 stock apps in the original thread I mentioned above can find that thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g8/themes/lg-g8-preinstalled-apps-t3904050
Other apps that I got to install from the g8 are these: Humanavatar (My Avatar) LGContentsettings (Wallpaper and Theme. Not sure what this updates though) and an update to the Tasks app.
Be cautious installing things you don't know anything about. As always, its your phone, so beware, and there are no guarantees yada yada yada.
It doesn't integrate with the camera because only camera apps built for pie onwards have that functionality. Once enabled in camera config files it crashes the camera app immediately.

Any idea why it crashes it? I mean other than it wasnt meant to work. Since the actual mode is functional I wonder if anything is actually missing in the Oreos framework/camera that needs to be there.

The app doesn't have the shortcut built in. Only camera apps built for pie or newer have it. It's not framework. It's just the camera app.

Gotcha. That makes sense.
I'm glad you commented, as I was going to message you to ask your opinion on the My Avatar creation feature I mentioned after the original post. I can get it to snap a pic of my face, and it recognize I'm a person and takes the pic, but when it goes to process and spit out an Avatar it fails.
Since you're a good bit more advanced than I am, maybe you had an idea about what's keeping it from working.

It'll likely be working on Pie. I've made a list things I'm not going to attempt till we get pie.

It installs normally but won't actually produce an Avatar. It trys to process the pic and then it fails.

iIf you use Nova Launcher you can make a shortcut natively by making a new widget and choosing "activities".

APK file
There is a chance we can use modular downloadable camera modes using the same technique
Food mode, 360 panorama, square mode, ar, avatar, etc
We need to get those APK from LG g7/v40 oreo
