Is there a way I can keep the stock moto camera with another ROM?
You can't keep it. But you could find the same apk file on the internet that might work with whatever rom you're flashing.

I have flashed my phone and I don't like the ringtones included in this ROM.
I am going to be flashing back and upgrading to a newer version of the ROM, when I flash back I want to retrieve the stock ringtones, how do I go about this? Is there a way to save them off? Or is it possible to just get the stock ringtones another way?
They're located at /system/media/audio/ringtones. Use Root Explorer or ADB to copy them.
This belongs in Q&A.
Awesome, thanks.
Yeah, I put it in the development forum since it involved rooting and ROM, probably should have been Q&A but I was torn.
I have tried a couple of custom roms and they have all worked fine at first but then after a while most of them would do something like force close whenever i try to open anything. This is getting really frustrating. I have a build 1009 and im looking at phoenix 3.0 and perception 10.0 both look really nice. Could someone tell me what im doing wrong and how to fix it. Every time i try to enable third party apps recently or something else ( I can't remember specificly what it was but it was rooting it or something) it will do the blah blah something apcore stoped working force close so right now im just going to use my phone on stock firmware and use it like normal and see what happens but could someone help me. I have used gingerclone, Assonance (force close problem), Darky 8.0 with the captivate workaround (force close problem), and maybe a few others but those are the only ones i can remember.
Custom roms are rooted with side loading enabled. So if you are trying to do this after you have the rom loaded, that could be a problem. I also would like to know what you are restoring on these roms. Should only be user apps.
To pin point your problem please provide more detail
I have put apps from custom roms onto the stock rom and other roms. Could that be the problem? And also this is what im going back to.

What apps?
I do not think only going back to jh7 would cause your issue. Tell me more about what you are trying to do to enable side loading, and why you are doing it on as custom rom
I had the ones i downloaded and i sideloaded one wireless tether app a long time ago then i backed it all up with titanium backup and i would install a custom rom and it would have roms preinstalled on it. I would want to put on a different custom rom so i backed up again and the flashed back to stock the to the new rom. and i would restore all the apps including the one from previous roms. If you are asking for the specifics it would take a while and about the side loading i followed the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738376 and did the method 3 it seemed to work fine until i rebooted and then it did the force close thing. And i didn't go to jh7 i went to jh6 or jh2 or something like that but im going to try going to jh7 and see if that helps.
dont restore ALL apps in Titanium Backup. safest option is "restore missing apps+data"
all the custom 2.2 roms have tethering/wifi hotspot built into them...no need for another app for it.
for custom roms, you DO NOT need to root or sideload...they are enabled by default on all custom roms.
Thank both of you for your help. I will probably for now only install roms specificly for captivate and with specific instructions.
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
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:

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..
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/
~Sent from my unbricked XT860 running CM9 installed in hashcode's safestrap over the LatAm 2.3.6 SBF.
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?
Can someone on the stock ROM or the modified stock ROM for the LG L90 D415 PM me or post a copy of these files located in /system/priv-apps.
LGTeleservice.apk + LGTeleservice.odex
LGContactsProvider.apk + LGContactsProvider.odex
LGContacts.apk + LGContacts.odex
THANKS SO MUCH! I was trying to clean out the stock ROm which I did pretty well cutting down the ROM size by half but I ended up trying to replace the dialer and the contacts app with something from AOSP or CM and I ****ed up big time. I'm not getting any service and I'm hoping that restoring the original files will bring my signal back without me having to flash over it. I just spent the entire day trying to clean it and would prefer not having to do it all over again :'(
Give me a few to upload these and it will be on your way
