Now some may ask why I would want to do this? Well I watched a few video reviews on the Captivate, and I noticed their camera software was different, the menus were layed out differently, and honestly they are better organized.
You can switch scene modes with a button on the left side instead of drilling down into settings>page 2>scenes
The video recording is much better, it actually records as soon as you press the button instead of having to wait a few seconds before it starts recording. It also stops as soon as you hit stop with no delay or lag like there was on the stock software.
Overall I think it improves an already awesome camera.
Still has all the same camera modes and scene modes as the vibrant, so you won't be losing anything by flashing this
Installation:
Copy zip to internal SD
Reboot into Clockwork MOD recovery
Flash zip
Reboot and Enjoy!
EDIT: Added the Camera-Stock-signed.zip if you want to revert back to the original software
EDIT2: Tested out the Odexed build on a deodexed ROM, wasn't throwing any errors on flash, so I just simplified both zips into 1 zip. So flash away!

THANK YOU!
This is really a simple, awesome addition/mod to the phone, should have been the default camera app!
cheers.
Thanks for this! Definitely, quicker and more usable. Everything seems to work as advertised. Good catch!
Anyone have the stock app? I flashed this thinking I'd like it but for some reason I prefer the stock one. I'd greatly appreciate either another flashable ZIP or just the Camera.apk file.

Updated the first post, look in the attachments, there's a zip to flash back to the stock Camera app
Are we to flash both zip files or which one? There is an odexed one and a deodexed one.

if you are running a stock rom or other non deodexed rom, flash the odexed one, otherwise if you are running Vibrant4, or anomalous3's rom, flash the deodexed one.
EDIT: When in doubt, flash the Odexed one, if an error comes up during flash, that means you have a deodexed ROM and you should use the other one. If you try the deodexed one first, you will get no errors on install, but you will get force closes when using the camera.
EDIT2: Turns out the Odexed build which looks for 2 files that dont exsist on a deodexed build doesn't throw any errors anyways, so I'm just going to use that as the main update. removed the confusion of having 2 different updates
Thanks for the info. Its been a while since I've gone gungho mod crazy on my phone and I seem to have forgotten all of the lingo.
Thanks for the app and I will give it a try.
Working great. Thanks for this. Was missing the quick setting drawer thingy-ma-bob coming from a MT3GS.
Very cool. Good work
Thanks alot for this! I like it alot!
Seems to work
Ill leave feed back when i test it in the wild
Thanks for your work
Thanks a lot!
For me it was very buggy when I first launched it. Almost seemed to FC, but it kinda just went black.
After I relaunched the app it worked very well.
Thanks for Sharing.
I had messed with a friend's Captivate before I got my Vibrant and wondered why the camera was set up so weird compared to the Captivate.
Awesome mod, thanks OP. Works well on my Vibrant.
Thx for the mod but I really like the vibrant camera better my friend has a captivate and I don't care for his cam but hay everyone is different so thx I don't have any issues with my cam so I'd say if it ain't broke don't fix it. Its cool to see this work on the vibrant though.

i actually don't see why we wouldn't use this over the stock vibrant one. The menu seems more streamlined.
could someone put a video together of the stock vibrant software for comparison?

I'd like to see that too. The video in the OP looks a lot like the camera app in my I9000. What did they do for the Vibrant?

Hi all,
Update 30/03: Testing seems okay so flashable zip file for recovery added.
There seems to be a lot of demand for a silent video camera and I sometimes wonder if the motives are questionable but nevertheless, I aim to please.
LG have put security around the video camera sound files (these are in camera.apk/res/raw/ - camstart01.wav and camstop01.wav). They verify the file by name, id and most significantly a hash key. This means it is impossible to change the files without changing the code.
So here we have the modified Camera.apk with code changes.
No video camera start sound
No video camera end sound
Still camera sounds not affected
Sound file verification and sound trigger code removed, no code added
Download the .zip file below and flash it from ClockworkMod Recovery.
Download: O2xNoVideoSound-unsigned.zip
Please report back and I like the 'Thanks' button below...
It seems to work like it should, no beep when starting/stopping recording!
Thank you very much
works great thanks!
Thanks! It works without problem!
Won't get it to work with my 2X
Sorry, im new at this...Why won't it install? Im opening it through Superbox/file manager to install it, but it won't work...help plz

I tried flashing this through CWM and it ended up getting stuck in a boot loop. Had to restore my backup to get it to boot again. I'm running stock Android 2.2.2, Kernal 2.6.32.9, Build FRG83G and LGE version LGP990-V10d.
Any ideas why it's not working?

No, I don't know why sorry. It should work, it simply replaces one file.
In fact I can't imagine what could even cause the loop. To be honest I'd need to see a log to confirm what the problem was.
If you can get a log with adb whilst it's looping I'd take a look for you but of course this is effort you may not care to go to.
Thanks for the reply and offer, but yea that is a bit more effort than I think the silent video is worth at the moment. Hopefully nobody else is having issues.

You can disable it in CyanogenMod settings. If that doesn't work, try editing build.prop file in System folder.
Use miui camera..u can always disable the shutter click
Sent from public phone using 10cents.
The MIUI Camera doesn't look very good on my SGM. There seems to be a alignment problem. Does anyone else have this issue?
I use Camera 360 for taking pictures on all roms. You can turn off all effects and use it as regular camera app..
I have a question about this too...
Does the CM7 camera really has touch focus feature???
You can google it sir. You can find everything on google , or you can browse on the development section on cm7 threads there are links on camera there.
Stock camera will not work in cm7 coz framework are different.

I think that and I had not tried, can someone try it and tell me that working?

Hey all. I was wondering if anybody knew of a place to get the stock Note 3 video player. I was having problems with my google account after a mess and flashed to a new ROM and my account works fine now. The downside is that the ROM does not have to stock video player. Normally not a big deal. But I have the Showbox app and a Samsung smart TV at home to stream from my phone to my TV. I need a way to still do that. Im open to suggestions for other apps or ways to do it. The ROM is AzureROM Five. Uses MX Player. Thanks

I found a video player that works. Sorry for not updating this thread. Thank you so much for that though. The app I found actually works better than the stock app. It is twonkybeam. Where the stock player would not fully buffer a lot of things I have not had any issues with this player unless I am also doing a lot on my phone at the same time. But again, thank you so much.

Dear Seniors,
i have flashed my samsung captivate with 4.4.2 from Pacman Rom nightly 23.03.14. everything working great! except one, i can not record video
no matter what apps i used, whenever i choose to record video it will force closed with note "blame the split screen".
i have tried to reflash, clean the cache, etc etc, but still experience the same error.
it's a great rom, so i hope i can find solution to this one tiny issue.
really appreciate your kind advise. cheers :fingers-crossed:

It sounds like a tradeoff, you lose video recording for split screen.
You'll have to use another ROM if you wanna use it.

We don't make suggestion to avoid flaming. What I can suggest though is to go through a few ones and see if they're for you.
