Camera Application without shutter sound. - LG Optimus Black

here is the LG Optimus Black ArcCamera.apk without shutter sound and focus sound at all.
NOTE: you can`t enable/disable it....it`s disable by default.

I installed the app, and the sound still wasn't disabled.

strange. since I have no shutter sound anymore...
I guess you thought about uninstalling the original ArcCamera.apk before installing this version right?
keep me on current.

how did you install the camera? i tried to run it and it failed to install......
I've already uninstall my stock camera using titanium backup....

running adb shell type this command:
type "su" and press enter
type "mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system"
type "chmod 777 /system/app"
type "exit" and "exit" again
with a file manager go on /system/app and delete ArcCamera.apk
after that in adb run command: "adb push ArcCamera.apk /system/app
it`s going to autoinstall. enjoy
P.S. let me know if the shutter sound is disabled indeed, I`m pretty sure it is but someone said it isn`t though

I install the apk using root explorer...
-mount /system/app ro r/w
-copy ArcCamera.apk from sdcard to /system/app
-change permission ArcCamera.apk same as other apk in the folder
-restart my phone
was that the same? but nothing happened...

Try and go to /system/app/ArcCamera.apk. click on it and go to application manager and then click install.

No, I did not think of that... but anyway now I have and I can't get Adb Shell to work on my computer, I need to use Terminal Emulator on my phone :/ could you make a tutorial for that?

open emulator and:
type "su" (it will ask you for root permisions, you`ll say yes. if doesn`t ask you it will simply announce you that emulator has been granted super user permision and terminal might get stuck - in this case close terminal, open again and type "su" it will work this time)
type "mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system"
type "chmod 777 /system/app"
exit emulator.
next go to /system/app folder and remove original ArcCamera.apk (long press on it -> Edit -> Delete), after you`ve done this, copy the modified ArcCamera.apk in /system/app, click on it and install it. I hope you will succeed.

After I've done that and try to install modded ArcCamera.apk I get this message "Program not installed"

my bad man....are you using stock ROM or NOVA ROM?
if you are using stock ROM than instead of ext4 in the command line you need to use ext3. sorry

now when I try to install it it says "Analyzingerror" :s

i don`t know why are you having this kind of trouble installing the application, for me worked very very easy. wait for others to test it and let`s see if others are having same troubles as you have...

install default camera instead of HTC one?

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?

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.

[APP] Gallery 3D - Terminal Install

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

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.

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!

What ROM are you running? The ROM you are running probably installed setcpu to system so you would have to pull the old version using adb or you might be able to use a file explorer to find it and delete it.

why does it say you cannot install? its the fault of the rom dev of including it in his build. see if you can find and delete the app from /system/app

From what I see it does not give me reason it just says "Install unsuccessful"

also, when I typed "remount, it said "remount not found"...
If u install it, and while its downloading click the progress bar to get to the setcpu description screen in market, it'll show u the reason it failed.
Most likely it'll say something like insufficient space - which actually is a result of it not being able to overwrite the existing apk thats installed. To find the actual apk try this
find / -name *setcpu*
You should get a list of all files with setcpu on your phone. rm -F the correct apk. If its on /system you will need to do 'adb remount' from your windows command prompt, then open a adb shell before you can delete it.
btw it may actually be these two:
rm /data/data/com.mhuang.overclocking
rm /data/app/com.mhuang.overclocking-1.apk

Yeah not sure why astro shows it empty. It may be because it doesnt run with root privaledges and only requests them when you try to delete something.

It lists milestone so I'm sure it would.
Needs to be >2.1 i believe
i try it .. its really wonderful ..
just seconds then reboot and your phone root ..
i have milestone 2.1
great~!! finally .. the easiest wat to root...!
So this does work then?
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
yap.. go the homepage and look for the one for milestone..
note: this is only for root only.. nothing more nothing less
got it running. root apps now function.
but root with adb shell doesn't. if I try to remove stock apps like motonav i get permission denied. or if I try to remount with rw option is tells me "remount failed: operation not permitted"
can anyone help?

Yeah, same for me. The interesting thing is that I was able to delete some system apks step by step, so somehow I had rw at /system but that was only for like 2 mins, then it stopped working. After some reboots, trying to unroot and root again it worked again for some time...too crazy...in the end I messed it up and had to flash the stock sbf, because the market didnt work anymore. Dunno what happened there, but was my first try at rooting anyway
Furthermore shell and /system were denied, remounting to rw didn't work either!

[Q] Deleted LG-home, no backup.. now what?

First post! So hello,
I made a big screwup. First i rooted my lg-p990, next i deleted lg-home using Titatium Free. I did not backup my file. Also i never installed a new homescreen.
When finishing this action, the phone didnt respond anymore. Now it wont restart. It is still possible to connect to pc and view sd cards. Also it will restart bringing the installation sequence, but when finishing it, the phone stops responding again.
I realise i havent been very smart. But does anybody have a solution?
Im guessing you will have to push the apk through adb.... but as i have limited knowledge on this i would wait until someone more experienced gives you help!

Short answer for you:
1) Download my attachement
2) Rename it from .zip to .apk
3) Put in adb folder
4) Run:
adb remount
adb push LGLauncher.apk /system/app/
adb reboot
doesn't pushing apks to system/app require root? Correct me if I'm wrong

Thanks again for your reply.
My next problem is that i dont know how to operate adb. I've got android sdk installed, but cant find how to work with adb.. What to do?
-edit-
I did some more research, and i cant use the commandline to acces :\android-sdk-windows\tool. This path doesn excist. Neither am i sure if USB-debugging is activated on the phone. I cannot acces the phones menu, so i cannot check..
what to do....

You need to use command line to enter the lines I've written

There are a few problems:
First is that there is no adb map to be found. Second is that when i for example enter the command "adb remount" my system doesnt recognise the command..
Thanks for your efforts though
Well. You rooted the phone. So usb debugging is enabled. It has to be for super one click to work.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
Try that
Go to C:/Windows/System32
Copy cmd.exe
Paste it in SDK folder, where the ADB.exe is
Than enter my commands

Okee, i must sound liek a real noob. I cannot find this SDK folder and the only file that i can find that relates to adb is adb_usb.exe..
i know that i am a real pain in the ass
If you manage to get a working adb connection the commands you need to execute are. Please make sure that the phone is unlocked when typing su (you will get a su access prompt on the phone and need to press allow)
adb push LGLauncher.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su
busybox mount -o,remount -rw /system
stop
cp /sdcard/LGLauncher.apk /system/app/
reboot
problem solve
E-mail download link of the LGhomeLaunger.apk
Download on you phone and install.
It works as new!
Ok i solved the problem, thanks for thinking along with me..
It seemed i could still recieve emails, so i just sent the lghome.apk as a downloadlink true email..
it worked!
i guess sometimes solutions are not always as dificult!

well...
that is not a permanent fix.
when you install that way it is only installed in user space... If you ever factory reset the phone you will be stuck without a launcher again... and probably no way to config ur email :-(
you need to put the launcher apk file on your sd card... and then copy it to the /system/app folder using root explorer.
If you do this it will be fixed even after a factory reset...
anyway. Next time just freez apps. Dont uninstall them. If they are only frozen you can allways factory reset to get them back.
