does anyone have the stock camera apk for UCKF1? sgs tools is trying to tell me busybox isnt installed (when it IS and WORKING) but only AFTER it deletes the stock and it didnt make a backup where it said it would? :-\ when i try any of these modded camera apks with the power button to take pictures they fc.
Its deodexed
Any reason why the app still force closes when I try to take a picture? Stock cept fugu root
If you downloaded the camera.apk with SGS tools its probably a compatibility issue and is meant for Froyo. You may have to copy the new camera.apk to the app folder using root explorer or similar, or flash it with clockwork mod recovery.
If all else, reflash the ROM (no bootloaders)
Here is modded camera.apk from Cog 5 that worked great for me.

I know this thread is a bit dated, but I just tried the above-mentioned apk on my rooted Captivate running Gingerbread 2.3.5 and it doesn't work -- just FC. (I copied it to /system/app using Root Explorer, purchased specifically for this purpose.)
Any suggestions? Really want to get back the ability to use the power button to take pictures.
Stock camera port to JB
I am looking to revive the old Gingerbread Samsung camera, for use on my Cappy running JB 4.2.2
I have tried 12 different cameras, none have the easy to use panarama mode (full screen), or have good image stabilization options, or the outdoor brightness mode or face detection. Why do the new cameras have fewer features?
i hope someone has an idea how to run the stock camera from and older ROM.
My current fav is FV-5 - it is really full featured, but not quite as easy to use as I remember the original Samsung camera, enhanced version to be.
-Thanks

just downloaded the firefly 2.7 with clock and before i start i wanna ask one question, tried searching around but couldn't get what i was looking for. when i look how to flash the firefly 2.7 rom, the guide that i am reading is wanting me to download clockwork update zip to flash the rom. when i flashed cognition 4.3 i didn't do that, i just re-rooted my phone and downloaded rom manager and got into clockwork like that. that is the way im most comfortable doing it, because ive had one successful flash that way. will this work for this rom also? thanks
Basically it's the same thing. the update.zip is the same as the one created by clockwork recovery. You can install clockwork and then install this ROM, either way will work.
Yes that way will work. However, if you download all the stuff you need for flashing roms and save it to one folder, its just as fast as going through Rom manager and makes you feel like your following the instructions.
Also if you download the update.zip you wont have to root and install rom manager. Assuming you flashed back to stock with odin before firefly.
does 2.7 already have the Gallery.apk without battery drain. and if it doesn't do i just d/l it, replace it with other Gallery.apk and boot into recovery and reinstall packages?
You can replace the Gallery.apk with SGSTools
Can I download the gallery apk file from my phone? What would be the next step for me to take after that? Now I know how to flash roms, I now need to figure out how to edit files like that.
Sgs tools, upgrade stock apps, modded 3d gallery. It will install it for you. thats it.
They also have the gallery app from a Desire, and yes, its the one WITHOUT the battery drain bug. I personally have switched to Quickpic.

I was able to get my gps working real good after flashing to stock gingerbread 2.3.4. I am rooted but did not feel like going through all of the steps for flashing any roms so I searched and searched and finally was able to fix it.
This is simple for those with clockworkmod but for those like me that can not use it this was successful for me. Also, I cannot take credit for any of this I am just providing a simple step by step for those who want it, since none of this fix or even the grouping of files was done by me.

I believe that with clockwork you can simply flash it but I cannot use cwm so I can not say for sure.
I was unable to rename it to update.zip and install it so i manually moved the files to my phone using root explorer.
first i replaced the gps.conf with H3llstorm's
so copy and paste the gps.conf in the /system/etc folder to your /system/etc folder on your phone.
Than I copy and pasted the vendor folder found in /system to my /system folder...../system/vendor did not exist.
After that I rebooted and went from 88 seconds to lock on 3-6 sats, but unable to maintain a lock while driving, to 9 seconds to lock and maintain a lock on 7-9 sats. I tested it on a 30 min drive through local and highway roads and it was constantly locked on. I stopped it at the end restarted nav, relocked quickly and came home with it working smoothly, I also purposely veered off course to see how it would react and it quickly re-routed.
I think the big change is the gps.conf, that h3llstorm made, good looks, and am not really sure if the vendor folder does anything but it worked so i recommend trying it anyway. The 88 seconds i was referring to was also with the gps.conf file found at
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-gps-quickest-fix-solution.2022/
It did not seem to do anything for me. This is not really a question but I am relatively new here so I cannot post a thread in the development section. I hope this helps anyone that does not want to flash anything more than stock gb.
I like the idea... the question is do we have to have 2.3.4 stock? Or will it still work with a 2.3.3 modded rom?

He took the fix from Dlev 4.2 which is a modded (reoriented) rom. If u ask if it's for stock cappy based roms only, I would say it's not. Stock roms come withOUT any gps aid and so it's hit or miss thing, while in modded roms the chefs usually have a fix backed in their roms. I'm guessing that's y he pointed out that the fix is recommended for those who are on stock, but no matter what rom your on feel free to experiment.

Yea he`s right i just said stock because i assumed the rom would have it preloaded, from what ppl have told me its worked with every version of gb regardless of rom or not. Also i was alluding to the fact that i with stock cant use cwm.
So, my camera fails everytime i try to take a picture!
The image appears well, the auto-focus works also nice, but when i press the button to take the picture, the image is black and a warning pops-up saying that Camera failed and then the camera app closes.
I've done some research, and i found out that some users had the same issues, but by messing with the camera firmware menu, which is not my case. The solution in these cases was to re-flash the camera firmware, copying original SGS/Samsung Wave camera firmware files to /system/firmware, and hit "Phone to CAM FW Write" @ Camera Firmware menu. Obviously, and sadly, didn't work for me.
And, in another thread, 2 users mentioned that this problem started in their phones after flashing the CF-Root-JPH-v1.1, which i also did, since my build number was FROYO.XWJPF (and JPH was the closest of JPF). The root worked damn great, but the camera now doesnt work.
And when i go to Settings->Apps->Manage Apps->All i have the camera size @ 0,00k, and the camera firmware @ 4,00k, wich i suspect are not the default and correct sizes.
So, here i am, running out of ideas. I'm aware i can send it to warranty, but looking foward to not having all that work and solving the thing by myself, if i can.
Any kind of help in this would be very appreciated!
Reflash ROM (or upgrade to a newer one like JVR or JVS)?
Well, this is the stock rom, and officially, this is the newest ROM my phone provider sent to the SGS :S
Any way to re-flash it using Kies for example?
Already tried to wipe data/cache, reboot, etc.. :S
I don't know about Kies, haven't used it for so long..
So you want to stick to stock ROM. Hmm.
Here, try copying & replacing those 4 files into /system/app using some file explorer with root support or adb push.
Those files are from the original JPF ROM.

Well, solved!
Just re-flashed the stock official ROM (which i got using the app in this thread and everything is nice now!
Camera works, still have root. And the phone is still SIM-Unlocked.
Everything's nice

Same happened to me recently (though my "stock" build number before was actually JPH as well, so it should have been a perfect fit).
Front camera and video recording was still fine, but trying to actually take a picture with the main back camera results in failure after flashing CF-Root JPH, as you describe.
Anyways, I just flashed the more recent CF-Root-...JPX, and all was well again.
JPY would not even boot, btw, so the latest that would boot was JPX,
and it fixed it.
I never find a solution to my camera Samsung galaxy SI9000M
My camera on samsung galaxy s I9000M (Bell north american version)
My phone is out off warranty.
Since I upgrade the phone from froyo 2.2 the camera work only on video mode.
I tried all the new firmwares gingerbread from 2.3.3 till 2.3.6, I tried custom ROM, nowhere, the same problem...I change the camera firmware as explained in threads from many forums, using root and file manager,change files in system/firmware...no thing again.
I rewrite the files with samsung wave files...nothing again
As soon as I return back to froyo the camera start working again perfectly
I return to froyo and update the phone to official gingerbread 2.3.3 UGKG3 with Kies, the uodate done succussefully but the camera crash again showing the same message Camera Failed
I install Camera zoom FX, didn't work until I set it to Infinity focus...than start working.
But the Autofocus on original camera is a default value we can not change.
I played with the setting of the camear different ways and the problem is still there.
Any issues please
So i installed the doomed froyo rom on my thrill 4g and am loving it (had the "almost cyanogen" GB rom before this but couldn't live with the bugs). My only gripe is i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get google talk installed on it. I've tried everything from downloading it on the fone and clicking it to install (says install failed) to forcing it into the system/apps folder via terminal on my mac and cmd prompt on my pc to double check myself.
Nothing has worked thus far. I've tried a "custom" gtalk apk, the newest version (1.3), and the previous version all to no avail. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not a fan of any of the 3rd party apps that handle gtalk, so that's kind of out of the question. I really want the official gtalk app cause i fell in love with it while using the cyanogen mod GB rom
Use the one included in the rom it is based off of... im guessing 10e stock
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
the doomed froyo rom doesn't come with gtalk, its supposed to be a "light" rom ...it looks like it was just updated to 2.0 with a new kernel, I'll try that out and see if theres a gtalk app included.
You want gtalk I can see about making that work out for you. What you could try is take the official gtalk app and put that into the doomed froyo slim zip file. Just open it up, and put the gtalk app in the system/app and flash the rom file. That should do the trick.
That'd be great...i actually tried that method already, but it seems it doesn't work...its as if the ROM is ignoring it cause it doesn't show up in my installed apps list, but is def. in the apps folder.
keep up the good work tho, love ur ROM
Have you tried opening the .apk or .zip of the gtalk app in cwm or in Rom manager? It worked for me installing it on cyanogenmod thrill.
Okay so i messed up and geting fc issue with my text messaging app and am not able to install it from titianium backup no matter what i do (i have pro). Found /system image here and just need help installing it.
I want to keep it stock but remove bloat. Can i just copy the zip file to sd and install? or use RSD Lite?
I also read that if you replace the build.prop to and older say 2.3.4 and then try to do the ota upgrade it will work. Can anyone confirm this works and has older build.prop?
Using XT860 on Bell canada
**Backup whatever you can before using RSDlite as this will wipe your phone (except /sdcard /sdcard-ext)**
It's probably possible to fix your SMS issues but I don't know how.. maybe start by taking a look at the logs..
adb logcat .. or some logcat app from the market. You should probably start by this, unless you feel ready to jump into custom ROMs..
If all else fails you can always get a fresh system image..
But unlike the XT862.. we XT860 users on Bell don't have a leaked official SBF file to flash back to stock Bell with RSDlite/fastboot.
But we can flash a few leaked Latin America SBF files and change the language back to English/French.
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_solana/list.php
The only way that I know of so far.. to get back to stock Bell is to use Willis111 file and flash it from recovery like a ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465153
Either way, I suggest you then install hashcode's safestrap so you have working custom recovery with backups and everything.. and try out the latest CM9. Safestrap will allow you to easily switch between stock and custom ROM and backup/restore your future setups in case something goes wrong in the future..

i used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340492 and got all my bloat back.
But as soon as i removed any app again using TB it breaks messaging, think i'm uninstalling something that the messaging app needs but don't seem like i'm touching anything that has to do with it.
don't really want to go into custom roms this phone is for my mom and already wasted a day on it. Just need stock with bloat removed so its a bit quicker. My HTC is all decked out on the other hand
Be careful what you uninstall in TB..
I remember having issues after deleting some yahoo thing on mine when I was stuck on stock. (Contacts would FC)
EDIT: I did freeze and/or uninstall those without any issues citrix, kobo, GPS Nav., a few games, and zoompass when I was stock.
it seems to be alright, i striped out everything such as media connect, dlna, portal etc. Just to make the phone a simple phone.
It seems when i removed the email app it was causing the messaging app to fc. The phone seems stable after a complete wipe and don't see any fc'ing.
What i don't get is if i use TB to uninstall any app i cannot get TB to restore it and the only way is to flash the system image again.
I may just flash system again and just freeze everything i don't want.
Glad to see someone using my system dumps!
Did you do the OTA to 2.3.6 yet? That fixes A LOT of bugs, improves battery life and camera as well.
Yesterday I just loaded my first custom ROM on my phone, using the safestrap method and threw on CM9... so far I think it's really sweet. I really hope we get Official ICS but if we don't I'm going to stick with a custom ICS rom.
I can confirm you shouldn't uninstall or freeze the Email app (universal inbox thing) as it will indeed FC a few other things..
What I do in TB for stuff I want to completely uninstall is this:
-convert to user app (as opposed to system app)
-back it up
-uninstall as if it was any other app (from TB or not..)
If I want to restore.. I restore it from TB.. which reinstalls it as a user app.. then change it back to system app from TB.
Alternative: manually backup and rename or move the apk in /system..
And put it back in to restore.
In any case.. a reboot might be a good idea after restoring..
PS: CM9 has been my daily driver for a while now.. I had to go back to stock for a few minutes the other day (needed the HDMI mirror..) and I really wouldn't go back to stock as my daily..(Safestrap works wonders for switching between the two though..)

phone came with 2.3.6 so no OTA, you dump works wonders. I may flash it again and uninstall thinks like kobo, citrix etc and freeze others like universal inbox.
What does freezing do anyways, does it stop it from loading in RAM?
