[Q] Restore stock camera

Anyway to restore the stock camera App ?
I have moved the Camera APP from "/system/app" to sdcard and then to my pc.I changed the icon to ICS Camera icon and now when i try to install it says to replace it,i click yes and after the process finish says "app not installed".
I have the APK and the .odex file of the f***** camera,just need a way to install it.

if you picked it up from /system/app then you need to restore it in /system/app itself
backup your current working camera apk and odex [as you have]..
move modified files to /system/app and change permissions to rw-r--r-- as others then only it will work.. if it doesn't reocognise in first attempt after permissions then reboot and see if it works...
if it doesn't simply means modifications don't work --> restore

Put the Camera.apk to /system using any root file manager and then set the permission to rw-r-r. Reboot. Here is the link,
Stock Camera App
If that doesn't work, just backup the data and then reflash the stock rom using odin. Hope I Helped

[Q] Removed wrong apk from system app

Ok for some reason I removed an apk file in the system app folder (capture screen I think)
I didnt make a backup before removing but can I just copy over the file from the rom and paste it in as i dont want to reflash again as I have the rom/phone the way I want it
Thanks

Yes you can but after you do that re apply permissions and owner info.

Thanks for info but how do you do that?

Permissions and owner?

Use mount /system and then adb to device while in recovery and open shell. Then do a cd to whatever folder u want and do a chown root /../../../file. Ten using recovery fix permissions or do a chmod.

What type of file?
(Example: .lib, .apk, .ko)
But the universal is : rwxrwxrwx

The easy way is to use root explorer..
Browse to the files on your sdcard, right-click on the files (keep pressed on the files until the menu comes up) then select Permissions
Check the permissons of another zip you know works first and set your permissions the same in the tick boxes..
Good luck..

It's lib and some other files...the problem is when I replace the lib files phone reboot and boot loop..i think it's because it reboot before set permissions..that's why I want to know this method

OK I forgot to add that once you change permissions you must change ownership to root also.. Should work then.

If you have those files in sd then first move it to system change permission as required and then move it to the folder where you want to replace it...

Ok I will try

You can make a flashable zip as well from there you can edit updater script for proper permission.
Example
Code:
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/app/Settings.apk"); - permission and location of the app. in this example its the settings.apk
For anyone who has having a hard time on CHMOD Permission use this calculator.

[Q] Changes in build.prop do not save

I have GingerDX installed on a stock kernel. My ro.product.manufacturer in build.prop says "Sh!tEricsson" and I wanted to change that, cause now I can't install Sony Ericsson Backup&Restore and can't restore a backup where all my contacts are saved.
Anyway, it looks like the changes I make do not save. I've followed all steps in tutorials - mounted /system as R/W in Root Explorer, changed permissions to 'write' for group and others before making changes (and changed back after saving). I press 'Save' or 'Save and Exit' and it's all fine. Then I change the /system back to R/O. I can reopen build.prop it in any other file editor and the change is still there, but SE B&R still says I don't have a Sony Ericsson product and after a reboot the ro.product.manufacturer line is reverted back to "Sh!tEricsson". I've tried Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, Prop Editor and BuildPropEditor, nothing works. Any ideas?

Check /system/bin. Some roms have a build.prop there that you also have to edit.

Yes there are 2 build.props..
One in /system and other in /system/bin.
you have to edit them both to change your build.prop successfully...

Thanks for a quick reply guys! I had no idea about the second file. Everything works now, cheers! :highfive:

system UI stopped

i have just flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864510
now i got system UI stopped and no status bar at all, any help will be great

as I said it's better to do it manually than flashing. This way u can always make a backup and restore if messed up. use root explorer to navigate to system/app - systemui.apk and check if the permissions are set to rw-r--r--
check if there is a systemui.odex file. If yes delete it and reboot
