I'm wondering if its even possible to install/use metamorph on CM6? I have it installed but everytime I go to run it, it fails with error "some files could not be extracted and set up. Please make sure you have enough free space in /system". According to the phone, I have 28.02 MB free in phone storage.
I've tried all fixes I could find on the internet ... I.e.:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
sync
reboot
After the reboot, same error. Hence why I'm asking if this is even compatible with CM6.
FYI I'm running the latest nightly, #94.

I believe metamorph tries to write to the system partition, which won't work without an S-OFF (security off) SPL. The Aria SPL is S-ON.

Since it can't write to the system partition, Metamorph won't work on the Aria. You'll have to have a flashable zip for the theme or do the editing manually.

Ninjamorph does all of its work on the SD card. Metamorph, however, does not.

I love the speed of Cyan's Rom, but I hate the HTC camera. Video is always choppy. I don't think I had this problem with the default camera.
Is it possible to swap the cameras?

ADB commands to switch out the .apk's of the camera and camcorder with the "default" camera from another build (most likely JF's because that's all Google)

ummm, thanks for the reply, but did you mean to list the ADB commands? have playd a little with this in the past but haven't had any luck, so any help would be appreciated. As for now I think I am going to reformat to ext2 and play with Haykuro's Ion r1 for a day or 2.
if you ALREADY HAVE the camera.apk you want to install...then good. IF NOT, go download JF1.51 and pretty sure it will have the Google version camera.apk...MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU BEGIN!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS! This is a simple procedure, so please pay attention and do this carefully, Its not my fault if your phone gets bricked. That being said, i have done this more than once and never bricked my phone. THAT being said, I CANNOT GUARANTEE YOU THE SAME RESULTS, SO PLEASE! PLEASE! BACKUP YOUR DEVICE AND YOUR DATA BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS!
First go into terminal on your device and type:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2, /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/app/camera.apk
rm /system/app/HTCAlbum.apk
this removes the HTC versions from your phone. Then just go ahead and push the google version camera.apk. The adb commands are:
Code:
adb push /exact/path/to/your/camera.apk /system/app
remember, DO NOT type "/exact/path/to..." replace this line with the path on your computer where you have the camera.apk, for example,
/Desktop/Android/camera.apk is where mine would be...
then thats it. FYI, the HTC version has a separate gallery, the HTCAlbum.apk...THE GOOGLE VERSION DOES NOT HAVE A SEPARATE .APK FOR THE GALLERY. once you have pushed to google camera.apk you SHOULD have the camera and gallery and all...Good Luck!

Ok so here's the problem I have had in the past, and am still having. I backed up and remover the HTC CAmera and HTCAlbum, but even after I push Camera.apk from JF's ROM, it doesn't show up. No Camera and no Gallery.
Having the same problems. I'd also like to restore the stock camera application, but after replacing the apk and so files from the JF1.51 build (and rebooting), neither Camera nor Gallery appears in the app drawer.
Any thoughts?

does anyone know if this procedure will work fine on a Rogers Dream? Should replacing the apk files work okay?
Thanks!

Nandroid Backup, do it and if it fails just restore backup. There's no reason it shouldn't.
I'm running Cyan 4.0.2 and I'm trying to push the camera.apk from the rooted T-Mobile builds and when I push the files and try to install the apk it says it can't be installed on this phone. Do I need to push the .odex files also? Another thing, what are the commands for console to delete the data/data files for the htc stuff?
Anyone know why I can't push the stock camera to cyan 4.0.2?
How are you going about it? Are you using console or are you trying to use the package installer?
Copy the old camera file from an old rom. I found one with the JF1.5 build.
mount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard
rm -r /data/app_s/HTCCamera.apk
rm -r /data/app_s/HTCCamera.odex
mv /sdcard/Camera.apk /data/app_s
This will delete the HTC camera and put the old one back. The ODEX file should be created once the .apk file installs. Hope this helps!
it says HTCCamera.apk couldn't be found
What rom are you using?
EDIT: Try this -- Using Cyan4.0.1 (I assumed that you were using JacxHeroski1.5r2..my bad!)
[cpde]mount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard
rm -r /system/app/Camera.apk
rm -r /system/app/Camera.odex
mv /sdcard/Camera.apk /system/app[/code]
I'm using 4.0.2 (pretty much the same as 4.0.1) but shouldn't I have to remove the gallery.apk also? What about the folders in /data/data? Should I remove those too?
I'm looking at the file structure and can't find there is a /data/data. As far as the gallery you shouldn't need to (didn't realize that it was updated.) But if you'd like to push that it would be:
Code:
mount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard
rm -r /system/app/HTCCamera.apk
rm -r /system/app/HTCCamera.odex (may or not be there)
mv /sdcard/Camera.apk /system/app
I've been looking and cannot find anything regarding a Gallery/Album.apk. But it should be able to use the Gallery that's already installed. Let me know how it goes.

How do you move files from /data/app to /system/app. I'm trying to get this sprint TV app to work and I believe this would make it work. Thanks for any advice.

you could use SUFBS (look in market) to move it i think
the easier way would be to use a terminal command .. since we're not moving from the ext* partition to fat32 partition, i'm hoping i'm not breaking any rules by posting this:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mv /data/app/NAME_OF_APP /system/app/
btw, im trying to run the sprint tv app as well, but i dont think moving to system would actually fix the problem . :\
Just an FYI, I installed the sprint tv apk with the slideme installer included with cyan 4.1.99x and I dont know where it installed to, but it works fine.
I tried searching for this type of install and couldn't find it. After re-flashing cyanogen 5.0.7 stable, I lost my 3d gallery again. I'm at work right now and don't have access to ADB so I had to figure out how to install this on-the-go, without having double galleries. These instructions can be used in terminal emulator without a system reboot. Make sure to download the attached gallery.apk and place it on the root of your sd card.
Code:
1. su (allows root permission)
2. mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (make the system folder writeable)
3. rm /system/app/Gallery.apk (removes system Gallery)
4. cat /sdcard/Gallery.apk > /system/app/Gallery.apk (copies 3D Gallery to system)
5. enjoy
Help!!!

before entering the above commands, try first entering "su", then when you see the # symbol enter in the above command.
so it may look like this, not sure if will work but you can try it:
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# rm /system/app/Gallery.apk
# cat /sdcard/Gallery.apk > /system/app/Gallery.apk

Can we use something like linda to install this and keep both galleries?
Yes you can have both galleries if you install using Astro or Linda but you'll get 2 identical galleries and thus arousing identification problems.

on your device it will show two "Gallery" icons/apps. You wont be able to tell which is which because the 3D one wasnt modded and renamed. So you dont have for example seperate "Gallery" and "3D Gallery" labels, you just have two "Gallery" icons. hope that makes sense. if you look around the forums, you can rip out the modded 3D gallery from one of the roms so it can run side by side with the stock gallery and be properly labeled. maybe rip it out of one of cyanogen's old roms when he had them both before he removed the 3d one.

I understand what you mean now, thanks for the explanation. Quick question though since I'm kind of novice at certain things, when you say rip out the modded one, is it as simple as opening up the zip, finding the app, taking it out, and then using Linda or such to install it beside the original? And do you know which test version it was when Cyan stopped using the 3d gallery? Thanks in advance.
Edit: I took the apk from Superbad, but it still had the same icon, do you know a specific rom that has a modded icon?
Edit #2: Nevermind, I was able to find 2 different icon-ed versions. Now just a matter of deciding which one I like most.

Just grab the gallery3d zip, take the apk out of it, and just use linda or astro to install. That's what I did.

Not a problem, glad I could help. I actually find the 3d gallery to be faster than the legacy one for me. I have 1200 images on my phone ( I pretty much site ripped G1-Walls and put it on my SD ) and after the initial boot when it creates its thumbs and other cache files, it flies for me. Plus it looks so damn good!

Sorry. Its a low res pic. I'm on my n1 browser. Last time this happened to me I fixxed permissions via rom manager. Turned phone off. And I wiped dalvic and cache for the hell of it. Started working for me shortly after.
Well, the /system partition is by default mounted as read-only... which is what the error "read-only file system" indicates... you need to remount it as read-write before you can do anything there... I believe this should get you through...
Code:
$ su
$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
It didn't work. It spits out a bunch of crap explaining mount.

Don't know exactly but it is around 200mb and to mount data you can use busybox
Extract bb to /tmp set perm then execute mount -o remount, rw /system

System ROM is 216 MB.
To mount /data:
mount("MTD", "userdata", "/data");
But remember if you are asking this to build a ROM, keep system size less than 200MB or it will boot loop....
I guess it would be helpful for you.
