screwed up my camera .apk

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?

[Q] Which files/apps find & assign ringtones?

Well, thanks to this forum my skills are improving but I'm still messing up regularly ...
After flashing a stock ROM of Gingerbread 2.3.6, I went about removing the bloatware. Now my Ace only knows one ringtone (manic beeping, seems to be called "60") and my only option is to silence it. Screenshot attached.
Does anyone know what I've deleted, but shouldn't have? I removed the native 'Music' app - that's not it, is it?

I think you deleted the audio files so...
go to system/media/audio/ringtones and check your audio files

If only it were that simple! Ringtone files are still there - some .m4a tunes in sdcard/media/audio/ringtones/ and .ogg ones in system/media/audio/ringtones For some reason, it either isn't looking for ringtones or doesn't know where they are.

LOL!!
Do a backup and then restore the last configuration which it was working properly. Be careful with the stuffs you'are going to delete XDDD
The fastest way to barebone any stock rom is flashing Stocklite rom, in my opinion, plus deleting more useless apps such as Gapps, default browser, twwallpapers, animated walls, useless widgets...

Restart ur phone & let "Media scanner" scan ur sdcard (if u haven't done yet) & use .ogg files(preferably) or mp3/mp4 for sdcard/media/audio/ringtones

Just had a look at this thread re Stocklite - never heard of it before!
Now all I need is to rescue my phone from its bootloop - I've been re-flashing the poor thing all day, now it won't accept root and only completes boot every so often.
If network providers would ship ROMs without all the pointlessly duplicated (but branded) system apps, none of this would be needed would it??!
<finishes rant, embarks on fourth emergency reset of the day, takes deep breath, drinks vodka>
Thank you for your patience

well... to avoid the bootloop do wipe factory reset and cache via stock recovery after flash a fresh stock rom and about root... Root+CWM 5.0.2.6. FIXED

Sorry to say, I haven't found the ringtone culprit.
Following your advice, Viper, I've re-flashed the stock ROM then CM4 followed by CM5, then Stocklite! It was a trial but I got there :victory:
I'm going to take out a bunch of apps, but keep making CM backups as I go - can't face another day like today!
Thanks for the recommendation, I like this ROM.

I found the missing ringtone culprit!
It's Media Storage 2.3.6 (PLAYLISTS). Without it, the phone sets all ringtones to Silent, with no other options.
I ended up having to wipe & redo everything, as simply copying the file back to my devices didn't work. I'm still re-installing the first device I buggered up (phone), so if anyone can tell me how to get it working on an existing setup in time for the tablet, I'll appreciate it!

Need G Flex D955 Home Launcher.apk

Hy everyone! I just made a mistake and i've erased from the system without making a backup the G Flex D955 home launcher apk..i've searched on the internet and i can't find it..also the weather.apk is missing..can someone help me? Thank you guys!

It seems that nobody can help me...i hoped that someone had this files and can share them to me and maybe to others.Anyway...thanks.

I can send you a tibu of it if that will help

Please, can you describe what it means "tibu"...my english is not so good. I think that if i had this files (home launcher,weather) it would be easy to install them..

I have my cell rotate immediately and I can see that I have the apk installed system, tell me what you need to upload it and testing

I need home launcher.apk and weather.apk...that's all...if someone could tell me how to install them corectly it would be awesome. ) Thanks in advance!

Titanium Backup up

I didn't use titanium backup, if this is what you mean.Can you provide this files?

I managed to go back to stock with flashtool so i'm on 4.2.2 now. ) Issue fixed. Thanks for your answer.

URGENT HELP! No sound from speakers after volume mod. Heaphones are okay.

I just got my verizon turbo xt1254 and have it unlocked, rooted and xposed installed, on SU4TL-44, and just put all my apps and data on it, then stupidly flashed the higher volume mod from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/motomaxx-volume-mod-t3019203 onto my phone. Now my phone has no sound at all from any source through the speaker. Headphones still work. Is there a way to fix this? Preferably without wiping my data or having to reroot and install xposed and all again?

Restore from backup, it's better from stock rom. I had a similar problem with another mod, i personally recommend viper4android, thats a good mod for the turbo, but it must be on compatible mode (using computerfreak excellent ROM)

Unfortunately I was an idiot and didn't make a backup. Lesson learned I guess. Would I be able to flash the pre rooted system image from this post http://www.theandroidsoul.com/update-droid-turbo-to-android-5-1-1-with-mofo-root-retained-yes-its-possible-now-81652/ and then just reinstall xposed? Or would that wipe my data partition also?

Have you tried just dirty flashing your current ROM?

I just got back into the game of flashing phones after being out for a tear it two, what us dirty flashing, and in on stock 5.1 just unlocked using sunshine and rooted and installed twrp.

Dirty flashing is flashing the rom without wiping any cache or data. You should go ahead and make a backup in twrp now. Also install titanium backup and then make a backup of your apps and data. Copy. Both twrp and titanium backups to your pc so you can get back to them if need to. The twrp backup is not in the directory you might expect. I'd tell you but I don't remember off hand. If you search these forums it won't take you long to find.
After that you can flash a rom. The one you linked earlier was to get to 5.1 from 4.4 via mofo. If you want that one go to First Encounters thread. It will tell you what to download and how to flash it with twrp. You could also try Computerfreeks.
I don't know of a way to dirty flash what you are on, and guarantee that that you won't lose your apps/data. If you have your titanium backups it will be easier to restore. Still a pain but easier. You'll download titanium again, then restore your apps. That's better than downloading all of your apps again. If you haven't used titanium before, you need the pro version and should practice freezing, backing up and restoring before you flash any rom's.

To be honest, I'm not really THAT concerned with losing all my data. I still have it on my old droid maxx. I was just hoping for a way to fix my issue without losing it all if possible since I literally just out it all on there yesterday.

The mod that you flashed replaced /system/etc/mixer_paths.xml. You don't have to wipe anything to fix this. Unzip the mixer_paths.xml file that I've attached to this post and place it in a convenient location on your phone. Then use a root browser to copy this file to /system/etc on your phone (replacing the file that is currently at that location). Then set the permissions of this file to rw-r--r--. It should be good after a reboot.

I just tried that and I still have no sound, and now when I try to play a song in Google music or watch something on YouTube, I just get an error. And still no sound at all. Could I get the 2bd mixer paths file from you also by chance?

I'm running Computerfreek's mod of SU4TL-44, and there is no such file. However, there is a mixer_paths_i2s.xml file.
I had assumed that CF had not made any mods to this file, but that might be incorrect. I'll try to find the file from a stock SU4TL-44 image and that should fix the problem.
But like I said before, the only thing that the Moto Maxx volume mod that you flashed did was replace mixer_paths.xml, so you should not need any other files if that's all you've done.

Here's a flashable zip of the stock, unmodified mixer_paths.xml from SU4TL-44, courtesy of Computerfreek. Simply flash with TWRP.

Yeah I had apparently tried to fix it by replacing that file earlier with a different one, plus also tried to manually fix it too. I now have it fixed. I had the permissions wrong. My sound is back and working now! Thanks billion!! Any chance you know what I need to change to make my sound louder? I don't know what line to edit. But I miss the loud volume of my droid maxx.

Awesome! No problem. If you feel adventurous and want to go louder, you can increase the values of RX(1-7) Digital Volume and DEC(1-10) Volume. Be careful with that though. You can break your speakers if you go too high.
