[THEME] Vanilla Lockscreen NON-Transparent Background
This has been discussed on other threads. It's simple to remove or delete the HtcLockScreen.apk to revert to the stock lock screen. The problem with most ROMs is that the stock lock screen has a transparent background and a clock. Most people do not like this because it clashes with the home screen clock. In addition, the HTC alarms do not work with the stock lockscreen.
I found a glitch in EE 2.0.1 that allowed a background and allowed you to set it with MetaMorph. I discovered after loading EE 3.0, it too had a transparent background when reverting to the stock lock screen. I did not like this at all so I set off on a mission to try and duplicate the glitch. I am happy to say I have found a solution!
EDIT: I have uploaded the new MM patch for this mod. This easy to use theme works on all ROMs (except Cyanogen based ROMs where this is not needed). The previous issue with Ivan's Official has been resolved. Fuzzy letters have been reported with the Aloysius ROMs.

Instructions:
1. Do a NAND backup first!!! I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone.
2. Download LockWallpaper.zip
3. If you like, change the wallpaper in the zip to your own
----- LockWallpaper.zip\framework-res\res\drawable-mdpi\create_contact.png
----- Must be a 320x480 PNG file named "create_contact.png" (all lowercase)
4. Push the zip file to your sdcard
5. Open MetaMorph and apply the theme.
Changing the wallpaper via MetaMorph:
1. Update the background in the theme by pushing a new create_contact.png file into the zip. (The file name MUST remain the same)
2. If you unzip and then re-zip make sure you do not use compression
3. Copy it back to your sd card
4. Install the theme from within MetaMorph
----- Use the 'Unzip/Extract new theme' option and tell MM to replace all the files
----- Apply the theme
5. It will more than likely reboot your phone when it is finished
6. Rinse and repeat
Thanks to jcase for the idea of removing the HTC lock screen apk file
Thanks to csstikman89 for the original lockscreen script
Thanks to everyone who tested this
Reserved for future ....
first try unsucessful
It Works!!! I almost was going to say it didn't but just had to be patient about 1 minute longer
I ran the batch file.. it went into reboot.. comes up on skateboard guys.. and then black screen.. i waited about 2 minutes and figured something was wrong. Pulled battery, powered on and skateboard guys again to black screen.. figured something was still wrong and i'd have to restore backup.. then all the sudden the phone woke up and bam! background on the lockscreen.
Just be a lil patient when it reboots.
Thanks again!
Yes, I was watching the logcat and noticed it seems to rebuild the cache on reboot. It only happens with the first script though. That does not happen when you use Metamorph to change the wallpaper.
Just tried this on XTRRom 2.0 and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much for this.
Semi-n00b here. Can't get this to work...what am I doing wrong? I am following the instructions in the op and decided I liked the wallpaper that's already included so I didn't add any additional files to the wallpaper folder. When I double-click on the START-SCRIPT.bat file I get a windows pop-up that says "Windows cannot find './Tools/adb'. Make sure you typed the file name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."
What am I doing wrong? The phone is not currently active on Verizon's network as I'm testing a LG Ally...could that have anything to do with it? I really want a new lockscreen!!!
Any help appreciated.
NVM: not sure what I did but I redownloaded/extracted the zip folder and now it's working.
Well...I'm still doing something wrong because the wallpaper didn't change. After I executed the file and it rebooted the phone it came up with the correct lockscreen but the background is like, buttons or something. Not the "dots" from the photo. I tried adding my own .jpg to the wallpaper folders and executing it again. No luck. Tried deleting the .jpg that was there in case it was causing a conflict and still no luck. So...I've got the lockscreen but an ugly wallpaper.

It sounds like your wallpaper did not get loaded. Try the Metamorph theme. It should fix your problem.

Tried the Metamorph theme, first it made me download AndExplorer - a separate program...when I click on the EE.zip folder using AndExplorer thru MetaMorph I get an error that says: "theme control file missing."
If I don't add a wallpaper to the extracted files the lockscreen should show up with the "dot" theme like the screenshot above, correct? When I browse out to the wallpaper folder that is the file that's already there. Not sure why I would be getting the "button" theme. So confused...

Download Metamorph 1.9.8.6 from the Market. You are using an old version. Also, do not rename the zip file.

Beautiful! That worked. Thanks for your help - much appreciated.
Great, I'm glad.
I am trying to apply the metamorph theme on my phone and it seems like it is taking forever. How long should it take?
Re: [THEME] Vanilla Lockscreen NON-Transparent Background [06/04/2010]
Not that long. It should reboot or ask you to reboot itself. Try tapping the home key to see if your phone is responding. If your phone is locked, send it a rebootcommand.

2 questions...
1. Does this show a preview of text messages on the lock screen itself? i like that feature on the default lock screen but i like the look of this new one.
2. Would i be able to do this with a macbook? thats the only computer i have...
Will this work by simply flashing the zip file?
I'm not very good with the commands
Running lastest Sense-able w/ADW Launcher. Ran the script, phone rebooted and came back up into FC loop. Didn't read them all but at least one of them had to do w/ADW. Does this not work w/ADW? Restored from NAND.
Re: [THEME] Vanilla Lockscreen NON-Transparent Background [06/04/2010]
This is not a flashable zip. It's pretty simple, though. Just unzip the first script, keep the included background or replace with your own and execute the included .bat file. No need to understand or type commands.
Then to change the background in the future, use the metamorph theme.
Sorry, I have no way of making this for a Mac. There is a Linux version of the script if that would help.

I am running ADW as well. The problem is with your ROM. This won't work on everyone's ROM. Can you pull your framework-res.apk file and send it to me?
I will try and modify the xml to work for you.

Since MrPippy no longer seems to be maintaining the thread over here, I figured I'd bring the latest way to properly run xdandroid on Touch Diamond CDMA devices. This has been tested on my Sprint Touch Diamond (DIAM500), your device may vary.
Android 2.2.2 (Froyo) for CDMA Diamond
Instructions:
From this xda post, download the XDANDROID build (currently 7/05/11).
From the XDANDROID zip file, extract AndroidApps/, conf/, media/, zImage, haret.exe, system.ext2, initrd.gz, modules-*.tar.gz, and rootfs.img into a directory called /andboot/ directory of your Internal Storage. If you extract the folder FRXnn/ (where the nn is the build) you can rename the folder to andboot/.
If you are using DIAM500 (Sprint's CDMA), navigate to FRXnn/STARTUPS/DIAM/DIAM500 inside the zip file, and extract the file called startup.txt into /andboot/ of your Internal Storage. These contain the necessary instructions for Haret to start Android on the Diamond. There are several other types of Diamond config file to try inside the zip file if you are not using Sprint's Touch Diamond, and should be renamed startup.txt if named differently.
The list of files you should have inside the Internal Storage should now look like:
/andboot/AndroidApps/*
/andboot/conf/froyo.user.conf
/andboot/media/*
/andboot/zImage
/andboot/haret.exe
/andboot/system.ext2
/andboot/initrd.gz
/andboot/modules-*.tar.gz
/andboot/rootfs.img
/andboot/startup.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you want the older way of having everything in / (root) of the Internal Storage, just move everything from /andboot/ and also delete the argument rel_path=andboot from startup.txt.
Unplug the Diamond from the computer, and run /Internal Storage/andboot/haret.exe to start XDANDROID. If you have not done the calibration, there will be a white square with a cross that you will have to click on a few times. On first boot, it will take time for the system to set up the correct APN for data (usually a few minutes). If you get an error saying that no connection can be made, wait until the 3G icon appears on top before doing anything that requires data (Marketplace, etc.)
---
Optional: Download the latest rootfs Zip file from here.
Extract and rename the file rootfs-*.img to rootfs.img, and replace the one already in your Internal Storage.
Optional: Download the latest kernel bzip file from the links in the xdandroid post (several are provided) using 7Zip. Extract the modules-*.tar.gz and zImage.* file to your Internal Storage. You must then rename the zImage-* file to zImage after renaming/deleting the existing one. If you do not do this, Haret will not use the latest kernel file.
Caveats:
If you are running any previous versions of XDANDROID, it is highly recommended that you delete your data.img. This will wipe all your existing apps and data, but you can save your downloaded apps by going into /data/app and/or /data/app-private and copying it to /sdcard, but you need a root-capable file explorer.
GPS takes a while to get a position fix. It is working, but since there seems to be no AGPS support, it may take up to 15 min for the AGPS chip to get a fix on ephemeral data. Running QuickGPS from WM and keeping it updated seems to help a lot.
If you enable smart backlighting in WM, XDANDROID is unable to set the backlight level. Hopefully this will be addressed soon, since other devices (Rhodium, etc.) now has backlight support working.
If you still have trouble running XDANDROID, then make sure you post at least the following: What type of Diamond you have (model #), the startup.txt you are using (open it in Notepad to see the mtype), the build of XDANDROID you are using (along with any rootfs/kernel updates if applicable), and the last thing it does that you can see (ie. Haret reboots WM instead of running XDANDROID). Without this information, it isn't helping you or the person trying to help in order to figure out what may be going wrong.
A lot of information that applied to Andriod 2.1 (Eclair) also applies to 2.2 (Froyo), with the exception of where the files are located (/ vs. /andboot on the Internal Storage). I've kept Eclair-related instructions below.
Android 2.1 (Eclair) for CDMA Diamond Instructions: (for historic reasons)
From this xda post, download the latest XDANDROID build (currently 6/21/10).
From the XDANDROID 7z file, extract AndroidApps/, media/, zImage, haret.exe, system.ext2, initrd.gz, modules-*.tar.gz, and rootfs.img into the root of your Internal Storage. You must use a computer to extract this, none of the WM/Android apps have enough memory to extract the 7z file correctly!
Create (don't copy) a directory called conf/ on the root of your Internal Storage. Now navigate to conf/Diamond inside the 7z file, and extract the file called eclair.user.conf into the conf/ directory. This is important, you should have a file named conf/eclair.user.conf, not conf/Diamond/eclair.user.conf.
If you are using DIAM500 (Sprint's CDMA), navigate to STARTUP CONFIG/DIAM500 inside the 7z file, and extract the file called STARTUP.TXT into the root of your Internal Storage. If you are having problems with Haret restarting WM instead of booting, you can try the one inside CONFIG/DIAMOND100 or rename CONFIG/DIAM-STARTUP.TXT to STARTUP.TXT. Each file has a different MTYPE, and is most likely the cause of failure to boot into XDANDROID. (DIAM500 mtype 2040, DIAM100 mtype 1805, the unknown DIAM-STARTUP one uses mtype 1910)
Unplug the Diamond from the computer, and run haret.exe to start XDANDROID. On first boot, you cannot connect to Google's server until you have entered an APN (regression bug from 6/12/10.) Skip the account stuff for now, go into Settings→Wireless&Networks→Mobile Networks→APN, and create an APN with Name: Internet and APN: Internet. Press the Home key (to bring up the menu), Save, and then select the APN. You should get the 3G icon in a few seconds.

your not the only one im working on this myself im trying to recreate a zip with it working for diam 500 and the touch pro no matter where i get the files from haret has become a problem and i dont know why so i remaking the files using old haret
ok so i got it working tho got stuck at the sign in part entered my info and then it kept looping back asking for it again and again found the if you restart it youre all set as for gps got a fix in under 30 secs going to repack the files for anyone who wants it this will work for the sprint touch and touch pro if you want the files let me know be more than happy to email them
Good call on starting the new thread. Kind of strange that Mr. Pippy never said anything before he took off.
For pure convenience, it may be best for the OP to compile a weekly build with all necessary files. Noobs might fare better if babied along and that would also assist in keeping this thread focused on more pressing issues.
I keep running into: "failed to mount the Sd card"
Edit: NVM, found the solution
so ran the new droid all night no hiccups but noticed that the time isnt synced it was off by ten minutes tried out the nav. drove to work looked at the time again it was now off by almost 15 mins maybe someone can enlighten me on this issue or is it just me
The only error I am getting is a keyboard error.
I did all steps as described above but if I run on haret.exe it says something like starting linux... but it just restarts the mobile and windows is starting again...
do you have any glue whats wrong?

apparently this is common and its due to the lag at startup of transferring files from the sd card... just press wait and it shouldnt be an issue

wrong startup.txt? you'll needa post more info about the error probably
Fail?
i think its cuz its only diam 500 not all the other cdma´s like diam 100??

Has there been any progress on metro data yet? This is the only reason why i uninstalled it from my phone. There was progress porting the us cellular data which uses proxies like metropcs for the touch with the android. There have also been native droid devices ported to work on metro as well so in theory it should be possible if anyone wants to work on this drop me a pm or discuss it here.
ok there is a issue with haret i for one can vouch for it the new haret.exe does not boot properly i dont know why or what is wrong but i know the issue is around i have a old haret that i use and works great even the new build has the same problem now if i can only fix my clock sync issue ill be happy

this is all i'm waiting for too.
ok found a fix for the clock still no reboots up and running for 26 hours now been unplugs for 7 hours and im at 34 % battery talk time 27 mins and lets say 5 text messages id say thats damn good
Great How-To post, got it working on my Diamond without any issues at all. Learning how to actually use Android is another matter.
notes:
mapping doesn't work, I presume it's because the GPS stuff is not functional
some of the hardware buttons are a bit confusing, just a matter of experience but it will take some getting used to
the device EATS battery power, and gets crazy hot when you start playing with the browser and other Android apps'
lack of any USB connectivity (beyond charging) is sort of limiting, hopefully it will be improved
so far I'm so impressed with XDANDROID, not that I hate Windows mobile but it is a great way to preview Android, especially for people like me who've only use WM.

After installing busybox and metamorph from the market, i get an error when running "Start Checks" in Metamorph:
"Some files could not be extracted and set up. Please make sure you have enough free space in /system"
any suggestions
Have the same problem, would love to know the solution!
EDIT: Using xtrROM 3.0.3
Might help others if you guys put which ROM you are using as well.
Open up the apk and find zip and zipalign. If these two binaries are not in /system/bin, MM tries to copy them there. If it is unsuccessful due to insufficient rights, you will get that message. One way around it is to put the files there yourself.
that worked you are a genius i have been working on this for days. Thanks for the help

how do you **open up** the apk.
I've edited this post way too much and now it's a mess, sorry. There are 2 methods that can be used to install the modified Flash that tricks Hulu into thinking our phones are computers running Windows. Depending on your ROM, one or the other may be easier. Please see the ps/pps at the bottom.
I was helping my cousin setup his new Evo and it seems that some of their ROMs include a working Hulu. It turns out that it's easy to fix, just swap a single file and change your UA string. Here are the steps I followed to get Hulu to work on my Captivate running Cognition 2.3b6. I don't see why it wouldn't work for anyone running Froyo/GB. I'm currently using this with Apex 7.
You need two files, a Hulu.apk that seems to simply launch the stock Browser preconfigured with the desktop settings and an edited Flash library file the attached flash apk. As an alternative to the Hulu.apk you can also use Dolphin or any browser that you can configure with a desktop UA string. In fact, that may be preferable, but this way is fewer steps
Instructions
Method 1, replace the library file
Update Flash to current Market version (11.1.111.5)
Extract libflashplayer.so from libflashplayer.so.zip attached to this post
Copy libflashplayer.so to /sdcard
Copy libflashplayer.so from /sdcard to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib using root explorer, adb, or a terminal. I recommend making an extra copy of the modified libflashplayer.so in case it's replaced on reboot.
Make sure the permissions for libflashplayer.so are rwxr-xr-x (chmod 755).
Method 2, replace the app
Update Flash to current Market version (11.1.111.5)
Copy the attached file com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk to /sdcard
Copy com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk from /sdcard to /data/app using root explorer, adb, or a terminal. I recommend backing up the old com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk (rename to com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk.bak or something) before copying the new file. If your current file doesn't have the -1 then you can just leave that part out...
Make sure the permissions for com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk are rw-r--r-- (chmod 644 or User=Read/Write, Group and Others=Read in Root Explorer).
Reboot the phone so the new flashplayer will be installed
Install the Hulu.apk linked above
Run the new Hulu program
See if you can load a video. You can get better quality by following a link to the full Hulu site.
Notes
If you have an issue with slowed-down audio ("demon voices"), try another ROM (like Paragon or Apex) or the stagefright from this thread in the Infuse 4G. Be careful with this, I haven't tested it and, while someone reported success with it, someone got boot loops after flashing it.
I've had the best luck using the full site, full screen at the 288p setting. Framerate isn't great on the higher quality settings with my setup.
The Hulu program doesn't always exit properly. To make it stop playing you can open Browser and load a page, that seems to interrupt Hulu.
If it doesn't look like anything is happening, try zooming in and out. Once the video starts playing you should be able to see it normally.
Be patient while it's loading. Try not to click on the window while it's showing ads.
If the video isn't loading when using a regular browser, try clicking the arrow next to "Share this video".
I was going to test these instructions again, but I don't have time right now. I think these are the steps that worked for me Good luck!
ps. I followed GGXtreme's lead and created an apk that'll keep it working through reboots. The instructions now reflect this.
I've left the old instructions (the ones with the line through them) here in case anyone prefers to do it that way, but I'll probably remove them once people indicate the apk is working for them. I plan to update the apk when there's a new Market version of flash.
pps. I'm not sure which is the easiest way anymore, there are too many differences between ROMs. I've added just the modified .so file zipped up as an attachment. If swapping the apk doesn't work, try using the original directions after unzipping the .so file. Please note that the zip is just a compressed file, it can't be flashed in CWM. For what's it's worth, the lib file isn't being replaced on reboot on my current ROM (Apex 9).
hmmmm, worked until i rebooted my phone.
Gonna try copying the libflashplayer.so and doing the chmod again.
kinda worked so far.

So, i got it to load the first 5 seconds or so of the video through the hulu app. Then it kicks you out. no fc. just kicks you back to the home screen. I was using Axuara b4. Gonna try this next with di11igafs 1.0 rom
maybe you could share what rom you were using to get this accomplished on. that might help with being able to recreate this

Followed the directions above and got it to work for me on Cognadian Bacon B4. I had to change the settings to the 288p for it to work. It kept freezing up until I changed it.
Cog'd Perception or Cog'd 2.3b6 depending on my need for flash addiction
holy crap! def gonna do this now!
okay, so ran into a snag. but working it out with di11igaf's help
it seems on reboot that the libflashplayer.so the modified version gets copied over by something back to the original.
So, trying to work out an init.c script or something to rewrite the file, and chmod it back to where it needs to be.
I will probably post a new thread when I have it working correctly.
Thank you for trying this out guys.
works!, but same problem when I reboot
Do you need a hulu plus account for this?

Why not just download Dolphin HD, and change the user agent to Desktop? Does this offer some features that wouldn't.

noope, sure don't.
I am getting closer to having this work after reboot. Im playing with baking in the hulu app into a rom so I can use the pm uninstall/install shell commands to remove and reinstall app every start up.
its much closer than a couple days ago

the dolphin hd browser will work only after you move the hex edited libflashplayer.so. At that point hulu checks the flash version and it reports back desktop, as well as the UA string in the browser should work as well.
it has to be the combination of the both of them
Ah, I think its built into my Tom, and I took it for granted that it would work for everyone.

Just want to say that this works great! Thanks !
Works great! This is epic !

On mine the voice is garbled like slow motion, but the other sounds come through no idea why......
Confirmed works but...
I didn't have to download the Flash to current Market version (10.1.106.15). My Captivate with Cognition 2.3b8 and 2.2 firmware was already flash ready.
I was able to shell into phone: note: after adb shell and at $ prompt, when you type "su" at the shell prompt, you need to look at your phone (popup asking for permission) - click allow and your good to go.
Once in, I cd to /sdcard and found the libflashplayer.so I placed there earlier.
I renamed old file /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so to libflashplayer.so.bak as noted in the instructions with this command - mv /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so.bak
Problem: After changing the old files name, I could not move the new file with the following command: mv /sdcard/libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
I received cross-devise link error. This may be a permission error, don't know.
I could not move the file no matter what I did.
Solution: I shelled into Captivate as su, chmod 777 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib directory(this will prevent the following push command below from being denied because of permissions)
On your PC, put the libflashplayer.so file where your adb executable resides.
Then: from the same folder enter - adb push libflashplayer.so /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib
This pushes the file where you need it
Once file is confirmed in place, I- chmod 755 /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib to revert directory permissions to original
You may have to (chown system libflashplayer.so) because the file once pushed shows owned by shell vs system.
In summary: I only had to put one file on my Captivate, the libflashplayer.so at the top of this thread . I used Dolphin HD and set agent to PC.
It works.
Note: In first trials I had to click the arrow next to "Share this video".
I read the only way to set resolution to 288 is create an account and set your settings within your Hulu accnt. That way when you login from your Droid optimum settings are already set.
Cheers
Does it work after reboot? Also sometimes it didn't play for me just commercial after commercial after commercial but never the show

No it does not - I tried to chmod 555 the libflashplayer.so to prevent writable and left the owner and group as shell. The OS still overwrites it every time upon reboot.
I don't reboot that often but if I were to go on a trip I could survive several days or more without a reboot. This would be enough justification to push the flash file and benefit from it for the time being.
I think I'll install a shell program on the droid and leave a backup of the file in the /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib folder. That way I can shell in right from the droid and mv libflashplayer.so.bak libflashplayer.so
This way I can reboot and run the droid shell program and arrow up to get the last command. Just thinking out loud. Cheers
Update: A simple terminal emulator and a backup of the libflashplayer.so solution above worked. I rebooted, used the terminal emulator to go to the directory and overwrote libflashplayer.so with my backup file. Done -
It works and everything I need for Hulu is on my droid no matter how many times I reboot.
The emulator I chose was free from market named Android Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich. It's quite clean.
Now included in my unity theme, available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12057423
Hey guys, just starting some to theme some system apps for an upcoming project of mine (unityMOD, basically trying to bring some unity, in this case dark blacks, to the OS to match the hardware etc) and I thought some people might like to see my Camera.apk theme.
I always found the weird grey and black speckled background weird, so I changed it to black and changed a few buttons, outlines etc. I think it looks quite nice personally, so I thought I'd just share it

Installation has been tried, and works perfectly, via adb push:
Code:
adb push Camera.apk /system/app/Camera.apk
OK, here's the update.zip's. I have tested the CM7Camera.zip (I use CM7 obviously) but haven't had time to test the other one, so if anyone could just let me know how it goes, that would be appreciated.
Place the required .zip file (CM7 or Stock/Axura) on your SD Card storage
Boot into CWM Recovery
Use volume buttons to select 'install zip from sdcard' and power to select
Use volume and power to select 'choose zip from sdcard'
Find the .zip file you placed earlier
Using volume and power, select 'Yes - Install xxx.zip'
Reboot, and you're done!
Downloads
[CM7]
Camera.apk
CM7Camera.zip
[Stock/Axura/MoDaCo - thanks Master]
CameraGoogle.apk
StockAxuraCameraGoogle.zip
Master™ has made a white version of this, available here
Notes
[CM7 Based ROMs] If you are having troubles actually seeing the changes after successfully applying Camera.apk, make sure you are using the System theme in Theme Chooser.
[General] If you are having issues, check and see if you are using the correct download version. Stock ROMs and Axura use CameraGoogle.apk and CM7 (possibly others?) use Camera.apk. I will try and make this irrelevant in my update.zip, but for now just take note.
I'm using Axura 1.1.2.0 and the camera app just FC's.
Probably because of the ROM.
I'll try tomorrow sometime when I load up CM7 or something.
Looks fantastic, though!
I love simple black on this phone. It is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for the Axura mention, I haven't personally used it, so I don't know what Master has changed for it. Has he themed Camera.apk at all?
Thanks for that though, I also love the blacks on it! I just absolutely hated that grey speckled stuff!
Hope you get to use it soon somehow

I do not believe that he has skinned it, but I could be wrong. I hate the stock camera app so I have only ever opened it once since launch, haha.
Much prefer Camera 360 or Vignette.
THANKS! looks very nice, CM should theme the camera.apk like this

Can I just delete the camera.apk and move this into it's place with root explorer?

I've never tried it personally, but you could test it for me if you want
If that doesn't work though don't worry, I have a copy of stock camera to restore if you need.
I can't see why not though, ill see if it works with root enabled ES in a minute.
Edit: ES doesn't seem to like performing operations from /system even with the root option, so just as a test, copy your current Camera.apk to somewhere safe, then delete the one in /system/app. If it lets you, then you should be right to just move my themed Camera.apk in its place.

No, it didn't work for me
I copied the stock camera app and moved it into my SD card. Then I deleted it and moved the themed camera app into it's place and rebooted. It wasn't appearing anywhere so I went back into it and tried to install it but it kept saying "application not installed" so idk what I can do now
I really want this modded camera app too! I can't adb push it either, I'm having a lot of problems installing the sdk and drivers

If you have CWM recovery, I will try to make an update.zip which you can use. I'm just having a few issues with creating them right now, but I should have one by the end of today (my time it's only 7:30am for me).
That said, if anyone else wants to help by creating an update.zip, PM me and I'll add it to the OP.

A zip that I could flash would be awesome! If I could help, I would haha
use root explorer to install apk
1. get the XXX.apk to sdcard
2. open root explorer
3. find the XXX.apk you are wanting to install
4. long press the XXX.apk file and choose copy options (you will see the paste and cancel boxes at bottom of screen)
5. back out to system/app/XXX.apk and paste file
6. long press XXX.apk and change permissions.
These should be checked: (1)User/read, (2)Group/read, (3)Others/read and (4)User/Write
If you get this WARNING. You cannot paste here because the file is read-only. this is ok. Look to the top of screen and you will see line like this. 124.24 used, 379.70mb free r/o [Mount R/W]. Tap the [Mount R/W] colored box so it shows [Mount R/O]. Now try the the paste and the change permission process. When done reboot.

Which ones should be checked off?
To keep it simple. Check the permission of another app in the system/app files. The permissions are all the same.

That didn't work for me either unfortunately
I used root explorer daily when I was flashing nightly builds and this is the way I install boot animations and framework.apk etc. It may be missing one step in the install precess.
I edited my post earlier for in hope the permissions checks are clearer to the readers.
I don't flash gapps anymore when on cm rom. I install the themed market, I like this, and go from there. I am confident in the process.

I followed every step and the camera remains the same as before
@SubyWill
I use a camera apk that is totally blacked out. I just installed the op's camera apk. It installed. This one and the camera button, picture viewer and video images all have a greyed ring around them.
Can u please make it to where we can flash it?
