Can I do a camera downgrade and restore from backup? - Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development

I notice that the v5 camera in dcd's kitchen doesn't have a flash and that kinda bothers me. So, if I did a backup with Sprite and reflashed the kitchen with the v4 camera, will it function normally?

No reason why it wouldn't.
I am using the newer camera with no flash although I'm not sure why. I have compared the same identical pic taken with both camera versions & can't even tell which is which (they both suck...)

Where to get the V5 camera?

I'm currently running the DCD 3.3.4 ROM (which runs great, I finally have this device where I want it) and now all i need is the V5 camera. I believe it's from the vogue. Is it just a cab file I can install? I was running SCrossler's R4R ROM and I noticed a difference in image quality with that camera software. I did a quick search but i didn't find what I was looking for.
Thanks in advance.

I played with that camera in the loaded R4R rom and i liked it better. The flash isn't useful as anything except a flash light anyway. I just need to figure out where to get the software and how to install it. If it's just a cab I can handle that.

I know your answer is out there, and it is trying to find you. I remember more than one thread discussing the two camera versions. One talented individual was able to make installs of the two so that one camera version could be placed over the top of the other when the first one is installed as part of the ROM. Not an easy process.
If you don't find it searching here in the XDA-Developers - Titan - Upgrade forum, try searching over at ppcgeeks.com.
Good luck and let us know what you come up with.
Camera 4 vs Camera 5
Be sure and read entire tread.

it was made for the touch so i would be going to that forum and asking in there.... If you use version 3.26 of DCD kitchen it is in there and you can build your roms how you like

APPS from 2.2 AOSP to 2.1 AOSP

Hi, got a little question..
just want to know if you can use standard apps from 2.2.1 (like camera, and messages)
to include then in 2.1 rom?
like take the libcameraservice.so etc. and the apk from /system/app and replace them with
the ones from a 2.2.1 ROM
could it work?
thx
Not sure it will.. Often the camera is annoying at this point.. Why don't just flash a 2.2-rom? Then you will be able to use more of the "new" android functions as the push-messages/chrome-to-phone things?

im on bionix 1.3 with the captivate camera apk.. i realised that the zoom function is not working today... the scale is moving but the camera is not zooming .. i tried to flash the stock camera , yet no results. can someone help on this??? thank you..
I'm on 1.3.1 and mine works fine. Maybe try down loading the latest version of Bionix and see if that fixes it.

Or did you flash 1st to stock then flashed the Bionix ? if you did not then you could have some corrupted data. If all else does not work reflash stock then flash the new rom. That will fix it.

[Q] Kitchen and other ICS related questions

Hi.
Atm i am developing a bit, but i try to find the best kitchen for the SGS2. I mean programs to edit APKs, deodex, sign, align etc...
I am using "dsixda's kitchen" atm, working good, but there are some problems.
When deodexing the newest ICS (4.0.3 LPB) samsung keyboard gets force closes after flashing. Also WIFI isnt connecting.
Moreover i am flashing CF-Root, but e.g. Titanium backup isnt working.
Maybe its because of this kitchen, i dont really know... so there is the question to you: what do you use to deodex etc or what do you know? i used something from "sicopat" in the past, but i think thats only for gingerbread.
Thank you for answering,
greetz, Cloud2F

[Q] [ROM IDEA?] Cam Only

I was thinking about the Camera problems for the 5*5 Evo 3D's.. / hardware 0001
My idea was if it would be possible to create a fastboot / dual boot to only the camera app/rom:
Idea:
Use any rom without the fuctioning camera (like CM9 / CM 7 / ICS rom) and when you want to take photos you boot to a other partition/rom within seconds because it only needs the camera stuff(and thuss shortening the boot time). When you are done taking pictures you can boot back to the other rom and use the pictures there.
Is this possible?

No it's not like that because all the roms have to start multiple other services that aren't used by the camera. So my idea was a stripped down version of a rom with only the camera funtionality. I know bootmanager will be the used software for switching roms, but is it possible to just build the Cam function only?

I usr bootmanager pro for switching to a stripped down rom for use of the camera and 3D playback when I'm using an ICS rom or other non camera supported rom. It works damn well too, so I would recommend it.

what rom did you strip down(is it Mikrunny, according to your sig?) or do you mind sharing it ? I want to make it fast bootable as possible and maybe even start the cam automatically when it's booted.

Sorry it wasn't, it was RomeOS (I chose this as it had Sense pre-stripped), running zeam launcher and with all non-essential apps, data and .apk files removed via Titanium Backup. Unfortunately I no longer have it so can't share it, but it's a piece of cake to do yourself as long as you know your way around TB .
