So i was trying to remove the shutter sound and focus sound from the camera.
I came across this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229272
This is what i did: I moved the new camera apk into the system>apps folder using root explorer. Then i changed the permissions to rwxrwxrwx. Then did a reboot. When i try the camera, it force closes. I fooooolishily did not backup the original apk.
Im not sure why it didnt work. Im new and im not sure what how to use the script files in the zip in the other thread. I tried to download the original rogers rom, but its no longer available. I tried a bunch of other htccamera.apks and they dont work. Maybe the htccamera.apk is specific to a 5 mp camera.
Either way i dont wanna do a factory reset just yet, could someone upload a camera from htc raider 2.3.4. With sense 3.0? or help me fix the camera? As a bonus, maybe someone could explain what the two script files do.
I thank anyone who contributes in advance and apologize if this is in the wrong section or for any conventions i broke.

This belongs in the general section. However, you can turn the shutter off. Open Camera, hit menu button, settings, scroll down, uncheck shutter sound.

There is no option to turn off shutter, i looked, 4 times. And even if i could, i would wanna remove focus sound too.
The link you posted, i tried that too, both versions, still doesnt work.

You're still on 2.3.4? Download the ROM youre using and pull the apk from then and put in in system/apps. Then clear cache and dalvik.
Im using the stock rom because i dont like to constantly update if i used a custom (sometimes they are unstable). Rogers didnt come up with ics yet. I think i mentioned in my first post, i tried to download the rom from the stock rom thread, but its not available anymore. Maybe factoryfiles lost the rogers rom. I downloaded another ruu but its .exe. when i extract it there are 4 small files and one large 400mb data file and i cant extraxt that one. This is why im making the post, i would like for someone to post a 2.3.4 htc.camera.apk or somehow solve it (because i made some mistake that isnt obvious to me)
P. S. Whats delvik and do you suggest a rom?

hey guys running modaco 2.2, and my voice search FC's everytime I try to use it.
I use the VS almost daily, so today was a bit harder than normal without it .
So can anyone help me please? It fc's whenever I open it in any application.
I have the same issue. No idea what happened. No idea how to fix it.

I think i figured it out Modaco doesn't support it in the rom I went over tried out Gumbo's I like it a bit better than modaco's cause it doesn't feel as stock as modacos. it is based on his . Maybe there's an apk to enable it floating around somewhere.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/sprint-htc-hero-roms/4361-hero-rom-gumbo-rom-project-beta.html
Ya that sounds right. It started as soon as I updated to 2.2. Hopefully there will be a fix or something soon.
use fresh's kitchen to clear both the boot and dalvik cache. voila, problem solved.

if you have voice search then you're missing the libspeech.so file in the lib folder, in system
go to you cmd and check to see if your libsppeech.so file is in there if not then push the file back in and reboot.
attached is two zip either push the file on your own or the sign zip put it in your sdk card and install in form recovery like you would to a rom.
good luck
Hey guys,
This problem is here longer for me, I've already sent back my phone 2 times, and they won't resolve the issue.
My problem is that the accelerometer is not calibrated right. One side is ok, but in landscape mode it's calibrated horrible. For example, when I use the app 'Google Sky Map' holding the phone in portrait mode just works ok (the horizon is in a straight line). Switching to landscape makes it bad, the horizon is now from 1 corner into another corner...
As I said before, i've already returned it twice to HTC via the shop I bought it. They say I can calibrate it in the program settings. But that's the problem, in al lot of program's / games i cant. Also the plain android homescreen rotates irritating because of the bad callibration.
So, I googled about the issue and couldn't find any solution. But I did find some folder / file (akmd_set.txt) where the sensor info is stored. I have rooted my device, and am running the latest CyanogenMod on it. I already wiped, returned old (non root, stock) android versions on it, rooted again, flashed cyanogen. But none of this works....
Does anyone know a solution to calibrate my settings? Can I get that file, edit it on my PC and flash it back in maybe?
If yes, please explain me
Thanks in advance!
Don't take my word for gospel or anything but....
As far as I know, that file is auto-generated, meaning you can delete it and it will force the accelerometer to recalibrate itself.
I think Cyan's and RA's recoveries both have an option to "Wipe Rotate Settings" which I've done several times, so I know it's safe. Try this if you haven't already. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply, trying it out now.
Did the wipe rotation settings option I have to see if it worked, because none of my aps are working now.... they all have an plain android box icon and clicking on them says the app is not installed.
Yeah, i've got Apps2SD and the SD card is loaded, how to fix this? Then I can check if it worked with the Sky Map program.
Oh, and if not, how do I remove that file via terminal?
EDIT: Damn, can't get the apps to work again my whole phone seems broken now. I even can't install new apps :S
EDIT2: Just checked my SD card, it is still working good at my PC, but not in my phone. At once the phone can't read SD cards... Please, does somebody a solution?
It sounds like you wiped ext through recovery. Search on how to explore your sd card as root and see if your apps are there. You may need to reflash your rom unless you have a nandroid backup you can restore.

Nope I didn't do that, it was just a file in the CM Rom that was changed. The phone wasn't able to read the SD card, but the PC was and in recovery mode it could read it too... So I just flashed the CM Mod again and it's working now.
Problem is, my sensors still don't work Please does anyone has a solution, or a how-to on how to change the file?
Sorry you're having so much trouble with this, but it's beyond my scope of knowledge at this point. Hopefully someone else can check it out. If the Cyanogen IRC channel is still around you might be able to find help there.
So Ermm... Anyone tried to install Galaxy Tab stuff into your phones?
I managed to install Touchwiz launcher from Tab into Firmware DXJP1 And we have landscape and port Rotation working... It Faster compared to standard Firmware.. And there does not seem to have Lag at the moment with 20 Installed apps..
How i did it?
I Flashed DXJP1(2.2) Which was a DE-Odex ROM by Default..
Look the TouchwizLauncher copy and replaced it in /system/app/
And Reboot...
Done.
ENSURE YOU BACKUP YOUR TOUCHWIZLAUNCHER BERFORE ATTEMPTING AND IT IS GOOD TO HAVE ANOTHER LAUNCHER INSTALLED AND HOME SET WITHOUT ANY DEFAULT SET JUST INCASE TOUCHWIZ FAILS
Not sure on Untouched ROMs with Odex files tho, The APK given to me was not with any Odex too... :S Uploaded it anyway

deathst, maybe you could post here a guide about how you managed to do that. Accordign to what it has been posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805149 it looks like 2.2 on Tab is much better than JPK.
Hope it will eb the same for the official froyo firmware of SGS...

That is good news. I hope Samsung replaces the FS to ext4 or something better than RFS and fixes the GPS issues some of us are having.
Posted a How i did it along with the APK if anyone wants it... I tried Afew more APK, Seems that we can import almost all the APK from Tab into Our galaxy, Wonder if it would be hard to import the whole rom
Besides Samsung Gave us the Sources of the Galaxy Tab not long ago @
http://opensource.samsung.com/
can anyone comfirm whether this is working on jpk?
I would like to know if it works on jpk thanks again
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
It doesn`t work on JPK, deodexed.
Don't work on JPK too. Nice black screen
Luckily I had Launcher Pro Installed, it spared me from re-flasing.
thanks deathst.
I tried to replace that apk file with root explorer and the system got frozen while it was pastign the file to system/app. I switched off the device, then switched it on, unlocked the screen sliding my finger from side to side and I see that I dont have anything. I only see the battery and hour icons. The bar on top to activate/deactive wireless, bluetooth, gps and thats all.
cache wipe didn't solved it
How can I have my phone working again normally?
thanks

If the debug mode is on, you can replace your backup of the file :
adb shell
& su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
# rm /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
# cp /sdcard/YourBackupPlace/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk /system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk
You mean usb debug mode right? I think it was disabled, at least I didn't touch anything about it...
I'm installing android sdk now to check if adb can work, but as I said I think debug mode was disabled...
Any other tip? Re-flashing the firmware wouldn't solve the issue? I would lost all my installed apps, but it's better than lost the phone...
PS: I have access to recovery and download modes.
reflashing would certainly solve it... and can really not understand how people just do stuff without making sure they have a way to reverse it... and then complain about data loss.. especially since this was not confirmed to work by anyone..
I agree with fAtaXe...
(You can trying to make an update.zip too :/ ...)
What about JIT files? can it be imported from the tab's firmware???
Thanks. I solved the problem re-flashing the firmware. Fortunately I had access to the task manager (pressing for few seconds the central button) so I could take note of the apps that were installed in the phone
I know it was my responsability and I didn't complain to deathst , samsung or anyone else because of that.
My phone is less than 2 weeks old so it seems obvious that maybe I didn't have enough experience to do that, but I read that the trick was working for deathst and I thought that Tab is using 2.2 so I imagined it also would work on my SGS with JPK.
I assumed the risk and tried it. Is that really a bad thing? I don't think so, specially because I didn't blame on anyone, I know it was my mistake. At least I learned that I should enable debug mode before doign that kind of operations, lol
Sad to Hear it does not work for JPK :S Strangly i have no idea why.. The Galaxy Tab Source i got are also Deodex and my DXJP1 is also Deoxed :S Weird indeed...
I'm sorry if i forced your phones to reflash... I did not expect it to fail on 2.2 ROM :S Truely i'm sorry about that...
I would post this in the Android Development, but cannot since i have not posted much.
Aaaaanyway, seen an issue that other are having with the rom that I would like to fix if I can. Camera will not go into video recording as it FC's every time. Same with if you try barcode scanner and the likes.
So far I have reflashed, deleted email.apk, camera.apk, camerafirmware.apk, tried hacked camera.apk, stock.apk, blah blah.
Wondering if someone found a different cause and or solution.
Was using Serendipity but not sure I ever noticed if it was aproblem since I barely use these functions these days.
Was fine when it was stock (way back when).

Since you have deleted Email.apk you are having this problem. Advice you to not delete apps that are needed for the ROM to function properly
Sorry..
Misunderstood.
I noticed that in your thread to give it a try, that it worked for some people so I did, not that it happened after I did.
Wow that sentence looks retarded.
Lets try it again. Had the camera and barcode issues THEN tried the above.

Ok let me take a step back. Do you mean that just after a fresh install you are facing this problem? I mean you havent restored apps+data using Tibu etc?
Edit: people who had problem either deleted Email.apk or CameraFirmware.apk and thats what my first impression was
Oops, misunderstood that post on the email delete.
Anyway, I have reflashed with no luck to the fix.

I am running the same version 3.3 right now a fresh flash and just recorded a video.. Let me know if you used Tibu to restore apps+data.. thats my next guess
Yes
Correct. Issue still after re-flash, no TiBu yet.
On a seperate note, I really like the rom. Looking forward to the possible blue theme. Came from Serendipity which I liked as well.
Don't necessarily need these functions (I barely use them), I just like to have things fixed.
Ok now one last thing that i can try would be to request you to download the ROM package again.. ODIN back to JF6 for a fresh install.. Flash the fresh downloaded package and see what happens.. you may have a bad download is my last guess
Will do
I will try another re-flash.
What do you thing Tibu is messing with (if that is it)?
it might just affect if by mistake any system app or data is included in the list which can cause camera to FC
EDIT: PM me if you cannot stil get camera to work. Would be happy to help
Still reflashing. I will let you know how it goes.
Again great work on the ROM. I am just being a perfectionist on something I barely use.
That did the trick. Maybe bad download.
I will also have to be more selective on what I let TiBu restore.
Thanks and keep up the good work. Again looking forward to Bluebread.
Alright now keep enjoying 3.3 till you see a 4.0 coming your way, and a blue theme too

I have re-installed this ROM twice on my captivate sgh-i897 ... the video-camera does NOT work. period. moved on to continuum's rom, because ... the video camera works, for one.
Twingerbread is a nice rom, but has anyone thought about flashing to Apex (i think 5.2 is the latest). Unless i am wrong, it replaced Twingerbread.
If I am wrong, PLEASE don't start calling me an idiot. I do sometimes get facts mixed up.

you mean you installed ApeX 5.2 and without restoring your apps + data with TiBU camera wasnt working for you? I have heard this problem before and everytime it was restoring apps+data using TiBU that was causing issue.. or let me know if you have deleted email.apk?
Does the same thing happen if another backup app is used? I've used My Backup Root since I started flashing, and I've never experienced anything look that(and I ran Apex 5.1 for about a week before going to Continuum v4).

Attached are working CWM installers for the D3 and stock GB camera apk's.
These install correctly on picrust/cherrypi 0.6 and ninja 4.5 sf, but they should work on any 4.5.91 OTA or newer gingerbread based rom outside of cm7 right now.
Step 1)
boot into cwm (romracer's is prefered)
Step 2)
advanced > wipe dalvik cache, go back > wipe cache
Step 3)
install zip from sdcard > flash respective zip
Step 4)
reboot
It does take some time on initial load of either camera after the flash.
D3 - If you switch to 5mp you get stuck on 5mp. This is not rom specific. If I manage to find a better version I will update the cwm.
**disclaimer**
If you break your phone, I am not responsible. As pointed out later in the thread, yes all this does is push the corresponding apk file, this just makes it a flashable cwm and speeds up the process.
Nice, should this work on stock 4.5.91 ?
it should, I havent tested it directly but the stock gb camera is from that.

Romracer´s CWM
I just did a fresh install of ken's gingerbread beta and both install correctly following the instruction in the op.
I am on romracers atrix 2 cwm, but I dont think that should make a difference in this particular case.
do either of them work for you?
only d3 camera didn´t work
its possible the file got damaged in the download, or didnt flash right. give it another shot and see if it still does it.
i flashed three times with no luck and also tried changing app permissions with root explorer.
fixed permissions with CWM... no luck.
i don´t know what else can do
did you redownload the file though?

yes, of course
I have no idea why it won't flash for you then, I will look into it further when I wake up.
This will not work unless the rom is made from the 2.3.4 91 OTA/retail SBF . So Alien/Cherrypie/R-9 etc
Most of the new roms have it or have the option on the respective thread.
this is actually in response to people having problems with the ones linked in their respective threads, the update script was changed in the zip files.
Worked fine for me running Alien v3... put on the stock GB camera... tho it took quite a while to bootup so beware... I was thinking I fried the thing...
Tho I have a question... why do pics look so bad and pixelated on this...?? Also the size of the pictures is less than 1mb usually ... isn't it generally the bigger the size the better the quality...??
What,settings should one keep for the best possible picture quality...?? Is widescreen better or 5mp...??
Sent from my Motorola Atrix
Im not sure why they would be pixelated, unless the gallery you are using is the cause. Pictures being less than 1mb would mean they are being taken at one of the lower settings.

I'm completely sure they are set to 5mp or widescreen yet when checking the picture info they are usually like 800kb around... and by pixelated I don't mean like that terrible but not as crisp as what you would expect or what IV seen on my other phones like the SGS...
