Once again, not affiliated with this app, just found it to be working flawlessly on our poor little HTC Vivids. This is the proclaimed Android 4.3 Camera that's on the Google Play Edition phones. Originally found here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340858
How I got it to work-
1. Move Gallery2.apk out of system/app/ (I backed it up in another folder just in case)
2. Install the Googleeditioncamera.apk from your preferred mirror here
3. Take pictures!

Side notes- Some advanced options are not included in this stock app- Shutter sound cannot be disabled, and you cannot change the camera to save to external storage, the options just arent there.. So if this is important to you, think twice about installing the apk. I've been using the camera on Vibrate mode and it's been silent for me, FYI.

How did you move Gallery2.apk out of the app folder? I tried using a file management app and it just gets stuck at 50%. I've also tried straight up deleting it and that doesn't work either. I am unable to access the root phone file through USB.
Thank you.

Try using a root file explorer on the phone set permissions on /system to RW, I use ES File Explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop

Alright - I used ES Flie Explorer to move the file to another location as backup, but Gallery2.apk is still there and cannot be deleted. /system is also Readable and Writeable.
EDIT: I went into the terminal and did the following commands;
su
chmod 777 system/app
but received "Unable to chmod system/app: Read-only file system"

Which rom are you on? Are you running this as root? If you are on a root'ed rom and /system is mounted as RW then you should be able to delete the app from ES File Explorer in the root file explorer.

Hey everyone,
I've just done something stupid.. I wanted to install the old (G1) Calendar app on my Hero (I think the old app is better, faster etc.). So in order to do that I first deleted CalendarProvider.apk (and .odex) and Calendar.apk (and .odex) from /system/app
So after that brilliant step, I found out the old calendar won't install.. and now I found out the original (backuped) apk's won't install either.
I tried adb push to /system/app, which works, but doesn't give me a working calendar.
What to do?
Are the permissions the same as other files?
gecka, what do you mean exactly?
I have been able to rm and adb push, but adb install didn't work..
can you upload the calendar???
Sure, you can find the files here:
http://theroman.nl/CalendarProvider.apk
http://theroman.nl/Calendar.apk

Try adb shell, then "ls -lah" in app dir, that will show you file permissions.
Just an idea.

And this is the adb pushed Calendar.apk
So I think I have all necessary permissions, but how to make it work
Calendar.apk should be own by root as other .apk, I suppose.
As you can see it is own by "shell". Not sure on own to change that, you should be root to do a
chown root:root Calendar.apk
If you have rooted your phone try su to become root

I did the chown, but it won't take root:root, so I did:
chown root Calendar.apk .. which gives:
Unfortunately it doesn't work, but I did get the owner to root.. any other idea's? Thanks for thinking with me!
[Edit] I rebooted into Recovery and tried to install, got another error message:
Did you push the odex too? You need both...

You could just reinstall the ROM using one of my update.zips - this only reinstalls the system partition and doesn't wipe your data.

Well, file group is still shell (that is why ":root" was there.... )
Anyway chmod is not the same as other files try chmod 0600 Calendar.apk

@ Modaco:
Are permissions important for .apk in /system/app ?

or since i'm nice, an update.zip to fix your problem...

Modaco, it... WORKED!
Thanks very very much
So now, the only question remains: is it possible to install the G1 calendar on the Hero?
I'm toying with the idea of building a complete generic ROM for the Hero, might be the best way! Calendar alone, dunno...

Here is the ported music app from the MIUI Rom. The installation is very simple.
1. Download the zip file and extract the apk file from it.
2. Copy the apk file to /system/app folder and you are done.
Download here
Flashable zip Here Thanks to schizopunk

Does anyone know if you get the controls in the notification menu like the current one in Froyo?
no controls in the notification menu...
Since this doesn't have any controls in the notification bar, does it have a widget or are there any controls for the lock screen?

Can anyone help me out with Step 2:
2. Copy the apk file to /system/app folder and you are done.
Do I need a certain program or app to do this?

Use any file manager like astro or root explorer. You can also use adb to push it to /system/app folder.
Goto market and download a file manager.

Use adb to do the job.
Code:
adb push /path/to/downloaded/apk/MiuiMusic.apk /system/app
Or buy "Root Explorer" from the market

Lets start with the basics to see where you stand...
1. Are you rooted?
2. Goto market and download "Astro File Manager".

Ok connect your phone with usb to your computer turn on mass storage copy the apk file not the zip file to the root of your sd card.
Disconnect the phone from the computer open astro copy or move the apk file from the root of your sd card to /system/app folder and you are done.

Right, I've already tried this from the beginning and each file manager I use, including astro does not allow me to move the music player file into the system/app folder.

Follow this guide up to Step 3.
After you have ADB working, then type the following
Code:
adb push /path/to/downloaded/apk/MiuiMusic.apk /system/app
Remember to use the correct path to the apk
I replaced the Google RGBY colors with alternate hues.
NOTE: you need to extract this file.
Inside you'll find your bootanimation.zip and the "shutdown" folder:
Copy the "shutdown" folder into your /system/media/video folder.(Delete or backup the original shutdown folder)

use root explorer, makes things way easier
I keep getting an error that there isn't enough room
Sorry if the instructions were unclear.
You will have to make the /system/ folder Read/Write before you can make any changes, then change it back to Read Only again when you are finished.
In Root Explorer, look at the upper right-hand corner and you will see a grey button with "Mount R/W", click the button and it will change to "Mount R/O". Now it will allow you to make changes...
Using Root Explorer, navigate to your system/media/ folder and copy bootanimation.zip there. Then move to system/media/video/. Backup or delete the current shutdown folder, then copy the new shutdown folder there...
When you are done copying the files into the /system/ folder, click the "Mount R/O" button and you're done.

2. go to all apps > root explorer > system > media > and you will see a bootanimation.zip
3. press PASTE and your new bootanimation.zip will replace it.
ore just push it trough ADB to /system/media
enjoy!
lol, this is fantastic!
thanks for the animation! honestly I dont want nyannyannyan on my phone but it got me a cool idea for a personal boot animation, however I can not install it: when trying to paste it to "system\media " folder with root explorer I got this message: "you cannot paste here because the file system is ready only"
phone is rooted but still on stock rom, any ideas where do i go wrong?

If you have root explorer you should be able to just paste it right in. All you need to do is mount the sd as R/W. To do this just click on the R/W button at the top right hand side of root explorer. After pasting it I think you need to change the permission of the zip file as well to let the system access it. You can also do this with root explore.
I'm new on XDA so please press the THANKS button if I was any help. I need at least one thanks to look a bit respectable in this forum.

your answer is correct sir! (its not necessary to change zips permission, they should be fine allready)
@topanyel, remember to NOT COMPRESS your zip folder with the bootanimation in it, else it will not work.

Hello Everyone!!!
The problem i am facing is that the backups that I make with CWM they are not accessible to me in the directory structure. In recovery mode when i go to restore then there they are at /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup but when i try to access this back up through ES file explorer then there is no file inside backup folder.
Then i went one step backwards in es file explorer and there is a Storage folder and SD Card folder. As i said before inside sdcard there is nothing in clockworkmod, while when i open Storage folder there are 3 folders emulated, SDCard0 and USB.
But cannot find the backup in them as well... Can any one tell me whats going on over here? Every time i take a back up it eats up to 1.7 gb and i am not able to remove them from the phone storage.

What file explorer are you using? I recommend ES File Explorer File Manager and be sure to give it root access.
Press the icon in the top left
Click 'Tools'
Click 'Root Explorer'
give access to root when it pops up.
You should now be able to see inside your /data/ folder

Glad you found them :good: Apps that require root to work *at all* will request access on startup. ES doesn't ask for it because it doesn't need it to run - apps only request root access when they're trying to access root i.e. pressing Root Explorer means ES needs access to root.

My backups were actually in MNT/Shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backups I have no idea why they were there, i had a heck of a time finding them
