[RETIRED] [FROYO ONLY] Silent Video Camera

[Old Now Froyo Only!]
Hi all,
Update 30/03: Testing seems okay so flashable zip file for recovery added.
There seems to be a lot of demand for a silent video camera and I sometimes wonder if the motives are questionable but nevertheless, I aim to please.
LG have put security around the video camera sound files (these are in camera.apk/res/raw/ - camstart01.wav and camstop01.wav). They verify the file by name, id and most significantly a hash key. This means it is impossible to change the files without changing the code.
So here we have the modified Camera.apk with code changes.
No video camera start sound
No video camera end sound
Still camera sounds not affected
Sound file verification and sound trigger code removed, no code added
Download the .zip file below and flash it from ClockworkMod Recovery.
Download: O2xNoVideoSound-unsigned.zip
Please report back and I like the 'Thanks' button below...

It seems to work like it should, no beep when starting/stopping recording!
Thank you very much

works great thanks!

Thanks! It works without problem!

Won't get it to work with my 2X

I tried flashing this through CWM and it ended up getting stuck in a boot loop. Had to restore my backup to get it to boot again. I'm running stock Android 2.2.2, Kernal 2.6.32.9, Build FRG83G and LGE version LGP990-V10d.
Any ideas why it's not working?

No, I don't know why sorry. It should work, it simply replaces one file.
In fact I can't imagine what could even cause the loop. To be honest I'd need to see a log to confirm what the problem was.
If you can get a log with adb whilst it's looping I'd take a look for you but of course this is effort you may not care to go to.

Thanks for the reply and offer, but yea that is a bit more effort than I think the silent video is worth at the moment. Hopefully nobody else is having issues.

[REQ] MIUI Camera and Music Player

Anyone able to make a flashable ZIP that will replace the stock android camera and music player with the one from the MIUI ROM?
I really like the music player better and the camera has a few nice features that could come in handy, though I would perfer to stay with CM7, I just can't seem to find myself using MIUI as a daily rom.

In theory since miui uses CM source it should just be a matter of pushing the apks via adb. The only problem i see is getting them to work in english, i was thinking of doing it for the messaging app. I'll poke around with the rom tomorrow and post back if no one else finds a way.

I installed MIUI and then the English Language Pack and was able to pull the APK files and save them to the SDCard.
I then loaded up a nandroid of CM7-RC4 and replaced the original Music.apk and Camera.apk
Good news is they work, bad news is they FC alot with some of the features.
The Camera force closes when you try to pull up settings and another thing I can't remember. The Music player will FC if you go into settings and touch anything, the settings load but you can't touch them at all. It did play music though.

It's because you have to also pull the /lib files. Which are associated with the apk

I'm trying the above and it is not working. I have also pulled out the lib files associated with camera (libcamera.so, libcamera_client.so and libcameraservice.so). Still force closing on me when i try to launch the miuicamera. I also tried replacing the lib files with the ones from the MIUI rom and still no dice (even adjusted the permission via root explorer properly)
I'm on the NS4G, but I am sure it is the same process because i was using an NS4G miui to get the files.
Shed some light here please. I like CM7 and only want the camera app from miui.

Music app
Her is the thread for the music app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995975

I'm definitley very interested in the Miui Camera... Please let me know if you manage anything

here you go.
don't try to install it regularly, push it via ADB or rootexplorer.
remember to say thanks if it works!

ALLLLLRRRIIIGHHHHTTTT!!!! Finally a semi working version! Thanks much for this!
obviously there needs to be some kinks worked out for all the features to be supported as i get FC's here and there, but man, finally something that works! With android, you can rarely say something is a lost cause.
Thanks again FaithCry!

Doesn't the MIUI camera not support the front camera?

no problem I found that it was just the zoom if you tried to press it... other than that it worked for me; mind you i didn't experiment much. then again, why not just step closer or do the zoom on your comp since it is digital zoom anyway

nope not yet, not even on their own rom; you have to install the regular google camera to use the front facing one. they're just about to release a fix for the front facing one, don't know how long it will take to get ported; but i'll keep you guys updated if anything comes up!

yep. have done that, still fc.

I can't get the camera app to appear in my drawer. I followed the instructions, but it won't show up. Anybody have any ideas?
*EDIT* nm, I just had to reboot it again.

Hey quick question, would you be able to run the MIUI Camera on the Stock Google Rom also? Or do I need to have a customer rom installed first before I try to put the MIUI Camera on my phone?

You can disable it in CyanogenMod settings. If that doesn't work, try editing build.prop file in System folder.

Use miui camera..u can always disable the shutter click
Sent from public phone using 10cents.

The MIUI Camera doesn't look very good on my SGM. There seems to be a alignment problem. Does anyone else have this issue?

I use Camera 360 for taking pictures on all roms. You can turn off all effects and use it as regular camera app..

I have a question about this too...
Does the CM7 camera really has touch focus feature???

You can google it sir. You can find everything on google , or you can browse on the development section on cm7 threads there are links on camera there.

Stock camera will not work in cm7 coz framework are different.

I think that and I had not tried, can someone try it and tell me that working?

Gingerdx camera

Hi, I am having an issue regarding the camera in gingerdx rom.
Whenever I capture two to 3 shots continuously my camera goes black and it remains black until I press home button and restart camera app, sometimes it happens with single shot also. Please help me I love this rom and not using it because of this issue.

Known bug, even listed in the GingerDX Bugs List & Solutions thread.
(X) means confirmed.
- Camera results in a black screen after some continuous photo shooting. (X)
Solution: Use another camera app, such as Camera ZOOM FX, 360 Camera, or if you need custom video recordings functions too, you can use MIUI Camera.

all gingerdx roms (xperia X8)even v31b has one error of camera(after some shoots camera turns black) ...in rom setup zip file(open with winrar) just replace camera.apk (system/app/camera.apk) with my camera.apk then instal rom... all errors will be disappear or u can replace this at the same location in mobile with root explorer then instal it also

i also has this problem!,but its not bother me at all i rarely use Camera on X8 and i had this problem in previous GDX ROM but in currently the latest
v031b doesn't have the problem i didn't notice that.

Yeah, I mentioned in the other revived post I also had this problem, and my ROM is FroyoPro v2.5. What's different with this apk to make the camera work properly and what is the cause of the problem? Would it work on Froyo?
Perhaps I should check this LG camera and see if the problem still persists there.

Just replace the file in my way u can test it urself

(NOTE) The 100% right method to install my camera.apk(to fix this permanently) in any rom is ->
In rom setup zip file(open with winrar) just replace camera.apk (system/app/camera.apk) with my camera.apk then instal rom (tested at all android v2.2 and 2.3 )
for gingerdx v31b it is working ...to test this in froyoPro Android 2.2+3
1) instal root explorer
2) go to location system/app/
3) mout from R/W to R/O
4) copy original camera.apk to ur sdcard at some safe place ( Do not mix my camere apk with this app)
5) Now copy (my camera.apk) and delete (system/app/camera.apk) then past (my camera file) to this location ..then inslal it also
then run ur camera ...
****(special case ....if after restart camera not running or capturing any photo ....then search and instal (camera.apk and GalleryDX.apk or gallery.apk) from location (system/app/) ...
then run camera)****
u will find the difference... now u no need to clear data of camera app in system/application.
****this camera.apk will not work for android v2.1 and 4.0 ,4.1 .....ics jb etc***
if u r not satisfied with my camera.apk (incase this is not working 4 anyone) then u can again replace the original file with my camera.apk then instal it ...after restart if camera is not capturing any pix then instal GalleryDX or gallery also

when we run the camera first time(after installation of rom) it usually does not gives any type of error ...but when we close it and run it again
then -> capture 30 photos continuously m 100% sure it will turns to black in b/w these 3 to 30 clicks.....(then u will find it needs to clear data first time)
and after clear data first time .....u will face this prob in every 3 to 6 shoots

Stock camera (2.3.6) for Cyanogen 7.2?

The cyanogen camera is just horrible - it's putting me off the whole ROM.
Is there anyone who has successfully reverted back to the Gingerbread 2.3.6 camera - which is a very good camera app.
Also, can someone explain how to allow permissions on an apk app?

Hi all,
Try camera zoom fx as it is the best camera app i've tried in the market. I have the .apk i'm not sure is it OK to upload it here as it is a paid app. I can give it to anyone who needs. (even upload here if it is ok ) Unfortunately, no updates will be available coz it is not purchased from the market. though all functionalities are perfectly working

Posting a paid apps apk is warez, and not allowed by xda.
Don't even offer to give people the apk, you could get in trouble with the mods.
Also support the dev's and pay for a great app.
