How to get the original camera.apk back?

I'm modifiying my own rom, and tring to find a way to recover the HTC camera to the stock one.
I did the following step but failed:
1. delete the /system/app/camera.apk and HTCAlbum.apk
2. paste the original camera.apk to /system/app
3. repack the rom and flash
But nothing happened, even there is no camera icon in the menu.
How should I get the stock one back? There is some bug with the HTC camera...

You can just push it. If you change it within the ROM and flash you must resign it.

Is there any way to resign it? I want to cook my own rom instead of pushing it every time.

Now I have find the way to resign the package. But I find there is a odex file following the same name apk file. Should I copy the odex file along with the apk file into the app directory?
My rom does not contain any odex file while another rom have many of them. Could any one tell me why?

Odex optimization is just optimization. Copy the .odex file along with the .apk if its available.

The HTC camera has a bug that if you half-push the camera button, it will not only focus but also take a photo, not like the original one does.
I have done the following and both of them failed,
1. copy the camera.apk from JF 1.5, resigned the rom, and flash... There is no icon appearing in the menu
2. copy the camera.apk and odex file from ION build, resign and flash... The phone can not start up at all. It freeze at ANDROID logo.
I'm wondering if I have done in the wrong way... Could you offer some help?
Thanks in advance.

try to get the camera from the crc1 build

The problem is where to get...
All the other builds from CRC1 contain the odex file, which will broke the startup process.

could anyone send me the camera.apk and libcamera.so from CRC1?
just mail me: [email protected]

get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456 donwload one of those ROMS

NO...it doesn't work. There is an odex file coming alone with the apk file. If I copy the apk and odex files into the CM rom, it will fail to startup. Seems CM rom can only accept standalone apk file.

I'm now able to post links, YAY!, so I have fixed the first post so that you don't have to copy/paste/edit to get to download!

Thank you much

Ever since I installed this, ring tone selection crashes android system and I have to reboot. Usually happens after 2nd or 3rd selection. Amy ideas why/how to fix? Haven't checked logs yet

Just wanted to stop by and say thanks - Gremlyn1, I've included this collection in SyndicateROM "Fully Loaded".

No idea why at all, unless for some reason the files didn't copy over... have you tried flashing again? The script doesn't do anything except remove the old sound files and add the new ones.

Updated this with new FroYo sounds (some Samsung ui sounds). The .zip is not yet CWM3 compatible, that will come soon. If you have changed the TW_Battery_caution.ogg to TW_Battery_caution.ogg.bak or removed it, etc., then you just need to remove that file. This zip includes a TW_Battery_caution.ogg.bak already, as it got included when I pulled the sounds from my phone.

I took the liberty of updating this package.
Changes:
CWM Script now properly erases all sound files in /system/media/audio prior to copying.
Deleted Ding.ogg and Noisy_One.ogg from Ringtones as they are identical to Noises1.ogg.
Edited title tag of Noises1.ogg from Noisey One to Noisy One.

any chance of converting it from amend --> edify?
for those of you who use CWM3 and want this on your phone.
Extract contents of zip to C:\
Open CMD prompt
Browse to ADB folder

edit: I flashed your zip on my epic (went back to old CWM and RFS) and it removed the system sound when you click icons and the dialpad sound

Dialpad and clicking sounds still work here. Make sure your system volume is not set to 0.

This would be awesome if it was made Edify Scrpitagible.. yes.. scriptigible. I just dropped it via root explorer into the /system/ folder

I'm a newbie to flashing with the Epic.... already bricked my wife's phone once. =)
I upgraded to EH17 using Odin and apparently that messed up all her ringtones and notification sounds. I wanted to know if there was a way I could flash this file using CWM 3.1.0.1. I get an error msg saying that amend scripting is not supported.

Take the files out with 7 zip and open a zip file (from a theme!! don't use the srf zip or any other "rom" zips they wipe data) you know works on cwm3. Make a backup and delete all the folders inside besides META-INF then take your old zip and copy the files over to the new zip, of course without the META-INF. Just to clarify you want the new zips META-INF folder only!
Cd's or tapes?

Noob here ....I' am unable to find a zip file which is not a rom file...i wanted to follow the above mentioned procedure of modifying the zip file for using it on CWM3x. Can you tell me which is teh appropriate zip file which i can use for modification so that i can restore the default ringtones of EPIC 4G.
I flashed the legendary rom and saw that many ringtones have been taken off...i want to have stock ringtones back on my system

Grab a flashable theme zip and use that.....
Just make sure inside that zip once you delete out the "theme" contents you leave the META-INF file/folder...
Then make a folder of you own in called
/system
Then inside /system make one called
/media
then inside /system/media/ make one called
/audio
Then place the appropriate folders containing either
/alarms
/notifications
/ringtones
/ui
inside that /audio directory....
Close it up and flash it...
If that is too much for you to follow... Just use this zip I'm providing below..
Blank Flashable
Just open it with WinRaR or WinZip and you will see all the folders in place exactly as I described... Place your contents in the appropriate folders and flash..

followed exactly as mentioned above, downloaded the zip file, opened it and copied the tones as suggested and flashed my phone....the tones did not turn up in the list but i ended up loosing facebook, gmail and couple of other apps !....what could have gone wrong ?

Not sure... There is nothing there in that "Blank Flashable" except for the META-INF file with your standard install scripts and then I created the folders & path to the media/audio/
Not to sure what you could have done to cause FB, GMail and others to be lost as a result of that zip file...
BTW, you did make a Nandroid Backup before flashing as normal rule of thumb correct?
FYI, any other devs, etc... willing to verify the zip I posted has nothing to do with erasing/removing those apps described by the member please feel free to do so...

Gingerbread Keyboard for Vegan Rom or TNT lite

The gingerbread keyboard was stripped from Vegan and TNT lite for stability issues ( i think ) - but I never ran into a problem with it... I've been missing it so I decided to pop the lib and apk into my system and, so far, it has worked without a hitch.
So for those of you who prefer to have the gingerbread keyboard (sound on key press actually works), here is how:
1) use root explorer (or the equivalent) to mount certain folders as R/W
2) backup libjni_latinime.so in the system/lib/ folder (just in case) and copy the new libjni_latinime.so file from the zip attached.
3) backup LatinIME.apk found in system/app/ folder and copy the new LatinIME.apk from the zip.
4) change the permissions on LatinIME.apk as rwxrwxr-- (not sure if this is needed, but was needed when using other IME input methods, like wiimote) and reboot the tablet.
The gingerbread keyboard should be fully functional now! Don't get nervous if it takes a little to open the keyboard settings for the first time (or switch input from TNT stock to android keyboard) as it took 15 seconds for me the first time but pops up right away after that.
Enjoy!

Check to see if you have a problem while having voice search installed. I think I had FC only with the GB keyboard and voice search both being installed.

No joy yet running the GB keyboard on TnT Lite 3.1.4.
I noticed that I didn't have a LatinIME.apk file in the /system/apps directory. Also, I noticed the timestamp of the libjni_latinime.so file is back from 2008. Are you sure you included the correct version of the shared library file?
I also tried changing the permissions of the libjni_latinime.so file to match the other shared library files in the directory. and I tried it using the original libjni_latinime.so file.
Was anyone else successful installing the GB keyboard on TnT Lite 3.1.4?

Just tried it but no luck
Edit: Went back and changed the permissions and it works perfectly now

I zipped this up using 7zip and pulled the apk and lib files straight from a system running the gb keyboard... I've used it in latest tnt and vegan roms without a hitch... are you getting FCs nonstop? Did you change the input method to android keyboard?

Tried this method with no luck, and now trying to restore the original APK and Lib fail. Any suggestions?

Simply removing the supplied apk and .so then replacing the original apk and lib files will do the trick, with a reboot after the changes to the system have been made.
I have tried this with both roms and also two "generations" gtabs (initial 1000 production run and post mass production run) with success. I am unsure as to why this is hit or miss with some folks. Of course a logcat of your system while trying to use this would help...
I think I will just make a flashable zip file to be used in CWM.

I know it's the long way round, but you could probably extract it from this:

Im assuming you have a file manager installed (Root Explorer, Es File Explorer)
You have to long press the app, after moving into proper folder /sysstem/app/ and set the same permissions as the others (I cant remember which ones they are exactly but you will be able to tell once in the file system).

You didnt follow the instructions. You shouldnt be trying to install anything because the .apk's are not signed.
However, if you move supernote.apk and supernote.odex into system/app and set proper permissions and then reboot it will work.

still cant install this app. I move both supernote.apk and supernote.odex to system/app. try to set permission in many different ways, but this app still not be installed. i guess i give up.

[Q] Locating a deodexed copy of BlurEmail.apk

I've been searching through here and over on RootzWiki for a Droid 3 copy of BlurEmail.apk. I haven't successfully been able to locate the file or a dump containing the file that I'm confident will work. I am a noob and I apologize for that, hopefully this question hasn't been asked and answered a million times, though if it has I can't find it. I've been looking for the last three hours I promise, I just can't find what I'm looking for.
I have BlurEmail.apk and BlurEmail.odex that I know works on my phone out of my backup prior to installing Steel Droid. Can I deodex this myself, or am I able to just drop both of these files into /system/app and be back in business?

You would have to deodex to use in a rom that is deodexed all ready.

I had to do this as well, needed email on steel droid. Just download Monster Rom bloated, and then you can pull it out of there.

1) Obtain the Deodexed install from RootzWiki. (Or if you have a back-up, that will work too!)
2) Extract the zip file (I downloaded mine to the PC and unzipped it there).
3) Open the extracted folder, then navigate to /system/app.
4) Locate the BlurEmail.apk file (not to be confused with blur_email.apk) and copy it.
5) Paste the file to the SD card or internal storage.
6) Using a file explorer (such as Root Explorer),copy the file from where you put it and paste to the /system/app directory (you may need to mount as RW first).
7) Set the permissions to rw-r--r-- by long-pressing and selecting "Permissions" (this is if you use Root Explorer, other programs may vary). Make sure owner has Read and Write, while Group and Others have Read only.
8) Reboot phone, and enjoy!
***NOTE THIS IS NOT MY FIND. I WAS HELPED WITH SAME ISSUE. I AM NOT COPYING ANYONES HARD WORK***
thats your answer. When it says locate deodex locate the stock deodex not the deodex debloated version. Follow steps. It works. I did it. And im running sd3.

I'm using the email.apk file taken from a Desire Z cyanogen rom, I consider it way better than blur email because I can mix the accounts and assign a custom color for every inbox.
I've just deleted the blur email and copied the email.apk in the system/app folder

I had been able to locate that post you quoted for directions on how to do it, which are straight forward. I'm just having trouble finding a BlurEmail.apk, email.apk, or Messaging.apk that when used in coordination with these instructions gets me to a corporate e-mail inbox. I'll keep downloading different ROM's and trying different ones I guess until I can find one that works for me.
If I ever get to that point I'll attach it to a follow-up post so if someone finds themselves in my shoes later they can just pull that down and be set.

Okay, finally found what I needed to get back working with corporate e-mail. I can't attach to this post unfortunately, nor am I allowed to post links in a post so... I'm throwing this archive up on one of my boxes so if someone else needs it they can maybe find it faster than I did.
