okay, so i've been flashing these deadhorse kernels from eugene, and everything seems to be working but HD recording.....till i realized i have the hacked camera app from SGS tools.
So i took the stock camera app from KA6, and HD recording works!!!
so i'm trying to figure out if it's possible to have both these cameras on the phone at the same time....anytime i try to just install the apk, it tries to replace the current one.
any help on this topic would be appreciated. Thanks!!
i can provide all apk's for this....both camera.apk's and both camerafirmware.apk's
Anyone know how to do this?

I was just wondering if upgrading to Froyo will replace the camera App that came with my Vibrant. This camera has the best options. The panoramic creator itself is worth NOT upgrading to me. I just want to know what the upgrade removes from stock Vibrant with Touchwiz. I have rooted and OCLF. Could I backup the camera App and restore it in Froyo?

I would imagine that if you backup the original camera app to your SD Card, you should be able reinstall it. Although, if the update DOES change it to a new app (which I highly doubt), you will still have the option to install the other one.. just like how you can use FXCamera from the Market as an alternative...

Samsung is likely just preparing all of their custom apps for froyo, so the camera app will likely be the same... maybe with some improvements by Samsung.
There its no camera in froyo... They took it out completely to save space... They figure you will be spending all your time playing farmville anyway...

Hey everybody. I took the plunge after following a long time and installed a ffc in my vibrant. Im running nero v3 with voodoo kernal. The mirror app works....that's about it. I need a camera app like the one in obsidien 4 that allows switching from ffc and rfc. Also I have fring installed and it still wants to use rear. In about phone....it says i9000. In root explorer...the file datapattern 420sp is there...any help would be great. The banding is minimal and just need some help on getting a camera app with switching and fring or tango to recognize front. Thanks.

Get the SGS Tools (not sure if it is in the market anymore) and install the camera update. Or you can install the i9000 camera. Pull the apk from a rom to get it. I'm running Nero V3 with voodoo also. The camera update in SGS Tools put the correct camera app on there for me.
**EDIT: or just download this - by Fr4gg0r

Thanks. I got the build changed and fring and tango are working. Ill try the camera hack update from sgs now. Is the camera from sys tools the I9000 or epic..the rotation onthe epic cam was off when I installed it running obsidien 4.2.

Also...does this flash through cloxkwork? Or through holding power down to get to recovery....voodoo? Does voodoo need disabled first?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I believe this is the camera from the i9000, although I may be wrong.
If you use the SGS tools there is no need to disable vodoo or anything. It installs right through the sgs tools app, just like installing an .apk
Has it been fixed to allow you to record in 720p?
No it has not. It will force a reboot if you try.
Is there a way to get the hardware accelerated browser from the leaked gingerbread rom onto CM7?
I tried swapping browser.apks but that's a no go probably because of framework differences.
Anyways anyone care to enlighten me? If its even possible.
Thanks ahead of time

is anyone able to extract the camera.apk from regualar samsung rom? i am using the super osr rom it is using the pure android and it is working extremely fast i love but but the camera app is not good and it doesnt work with video recording.
Can anyone help me out with replacing the camera app? thanks guys
You can get it back by downloading the stock rom from somewhere and extract the camera.apk in system/app directory. Post your base firmware version, someone using the same firmware here can help you. As camera app is not firmware dependent ill upload mine later.
Edit: HAve attached the file, paste it to system\app\

In my first post I posted when I joined this website I asked about a camera app for cm7 that was like the stock vibrant camera app. I now want to know, after some info given to me in that post, what are the best camera apps that can be flashed, by rom manager or odin, and are compatible with cm7 that closely resemble or are nicer looking than the stock 2.1 camera. I think my biggets thing is just that the 2.1 cam looks like it takes the whole phones screen rather than cm7 which has a black line at the bottom which makes the camera look smaller. Again any and all help welcome and thanks in advance

Actually you could really just take any 3rd party camera app and push the .apk to the directory of system/app/ with root explorer. The app will then become a system app. You don't neccesarily have to flash it via Odin or CWR.

Ok thanks so my new question is if I was to rip the camera.apk app with root explorer and replace it in cm7 would I keep the 2.1 camera? I know you can do it to remove or add apks to roms but I didnt know if the firmware versions would be an issue (ex 2.1 cam on 2.3.7)
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Although it should work, I'm not 100% as I've never tried it. So make sure you're play it safe and do a backup... I would suggest you do a backup in CWR (or a Nandroid Backup) just in case as you can never be to safe. Plus I wouldn't delete the 2.1 camera.apk, just move it to another location like to your sd card. This way if the CM7 camera doesn't work you can just switch it back with the original one.
Ok thanks for the info im actually gonna try it sometime today ill be sure to post if it works or not

Alright, hope everything works out for you.
Well flashing the apk from 2.1 on cm7 or the miui rom(forgot which one) didnt work I liked the miui one but it didnt have an app drawer and the controls were a little bit weird but I like some of the stuff. I guess the mods can close this now I figure I cant flash the old camera anyone who reads this and finds out how to do please pm me. Thanks for the help you guys
