Just wondering if there's a workaround so I can use any camera app in any app to take pictures, I don't mind going to custom rom or rooting device again. Just a pain to backup everything and all that not so fun stuff

Just wondering if you guys have had any problems with the desire camera in this regard. So programs/games that have you take a pic (like facebook to post, or worldofphoto, etc) will call up the cam, but once a pic is taken my desire cam just left me in the camera app?
I switched to the stock camera app which works fine with the programs. However, I HATE the stock camera, esp the lack of shutter sound removal.
Also, when I pushed the stock camera back onto the phone it broke my desire camera app so now I have two on there, but only the stock works.
-does the desire camera just not work like this right now? havent really seen much about it.
-is there a way to have both camera apps work on the phone (that way I can use the stock cam for program-related camera work and desire for just plain photo taking)?
-if not, how do I remove the desire camera???
thx
nope, doesn't work well with other programs yet. That's the reason I got rid of it.
Search for the originalcamera.apk in the forums. Flash that. Or just reflash your ROM. No wiping necessary.
the desire cam works fine with goggles and shopsavvy for me. cant speak for facebook (i must be the only one left w/o an account) or others. if i recall right, i had issues when i flashed cyans latest 506, but reinstalling via recovery sorted it out.

Hello,
Just wondering what the easiest way to preserve your apps and homescreens when switching Roms.
With all of these crazy JB roms coming out I want to try them all out. However, I've spent a lot of time organizing and downloading apps.
I know there's Titanium Update(?), which I have used in the past, but is there anything else?
How do you guys do it?
Thanks.

Mybackup pro works fine for me...
This thread might be useful. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855596
I use Apps2zip very easy app to use does 1 thing backs up your apps
I am trying to figure out why apps such as ProCamera or Camera360 which look very nice, are just not working properly with any of the CM mods. If I try to take a picture with a flash they all flash, but no picture and then at least 10 seconds later flash the picture with no warning.
The only app that works with quick response is the one in this ROM's thread: CameraApp3.apk: 20130606
Is there a reason for this, or a fix I can recourse to so i can use the other apps?
Hi, after 12 hours of bricking and unbricking my phone and forgetting to save TA partition I have successfully got my phone working again with the custom ROM installed and semi working.
The main reason I wanted it was to get my camera working on 20MP with superior auto. However when I have taken photos on superior auto I am getting 8MP photos instead of 20MP. When installing the ROM I did choose th 20MP mod and have seen the mod is there via the security app but still struggle to get the camera to take 20MP on auto.
I would have liked to post this message in the correct post in the iHackers thread but the forum would rather I spam 10 posts before they allow me to post in there... Strange if you ask me as I do not have time to spam 10 posts, I would however stick around after this problem is resolved as I have just got into Android phones after finally leaving apple... :S
Does anyone else have the Z1 with this ROM and having the same issue?
PS. I forgot to save the TA partition like a NOOB! BUT every app is working fine except Wisepilot for Xperia, which installs but has asked me to pay for the features I am supposed to already have. I suspect this is due to the missing DRM files.
I know there is no way to get DRM back but what if I sent the phone to Sony and asked to pay to get them back, is that a possibility?
To recap:
1: How to get 20MP on superior auto...
2. Wisepilot for Xperia, does it work for free on this ROM?
3. Will Sony fix DRM for cash? If not, is there a way around this? Insurance?
Thanks.

You have just 2 options to get 20mp in Superior Auto, 1 flash the VodafoneUK FTF 4.3 from HERE or use this Xposed HERE

Probably not and is compatibility issue but maybe someone figure out how to let it work. Nothing what I am aware of.

Ask them how this will cost you because nobody did this before and maybe is not worth to do it because the phone working properly anyway.
There is no way around to get back your DRM keys and no Warranty too now so anything you will have with your phone, you have to pay.
If you installed xposed module in flashing process then you have it already and there's no need to install it again.
Go to settings/IHackers/Xposed framework and enable module.
Restart and that's it.
If it still won't work, go again in settings/iHackers/xposed framework and reinstall xposed framework again.
After every change (modules, xposed framework) you have to restart your device.

I have the same problem. I forgot to backup the TA partition and now suffering for losing those drm keys. The x reality engine is not functioning and i need that to watch movie. So sad.(still finding the solution how to gain back those drm.keys)
And then i did install ihackers rom to gain superior 20mp but its useless. 20mp is even worse when it comes to low light condition. so i disabled it. Not happy with this.
The same here- dissapointed and regret Bootunlock- didnt actually now that would happen
is this possible to use with a custom rom (carbon rom) which needs unlocked bl but i need drm functions because camera is horrible in even slight low light, might just go to stock which i hate but i need camera more
Did you look into this yet?

I haven't tried it but apparently it restores your DRM function

It is not possible to restore the TA partition and keep the bootloader unlocked. As mentioned in the post above me it is possible to regain DRM functionality on a stock ROM through that mod. Do note that this is only for stock ROM, it probably won't work or do anything on an AOSP based ROM.
I hope we have answered your questions

Isn't Carbon ROM CM based? I wonder cause I too am looking at best path forward. IF CM based, my understanding is all camera apps will give a fish eye lens effect. I notice it all the time with any vertical lines not directly centered. I had to go back to stock rooted and re-lock bootloader. There's a ROM I'm using now called AIO (All in one, with heavy de-bloat and xposed already installed). Seems pretty good, except now I cannot install my banking apps.
I'm beginning to wonder if it's now no longer worth rooting. Separate discussion, I know.
there is no fish eye effect i can see. the camera quality is good without low light, but tbh with low light its unbearable . the noise is horrible, cant even take a selfie in remotely low light
