I love the custom Froyo roms that Eugene and Master put out. The only problem I have is that I miss the "touch-to-focus" option in the stock Vibrant camera app. Is there a way to get the stock camera (and video) apps onto one of these custom roms?

Exactly!
SGS Tools works like a charm for stuff like this. Just follow the onscreen instructions and you should be golden. If not, it has restore scripts.
I have install stock 2.3.4 ATT 4.5.91 rom and after I installed the rom I used Titanium Backup to restore my apps. However video and voice do not work over wifi for gtalk. I have confirmed using the video camera app that my front facing camera is working and I have uninstalled and installed several different modded version of Gtalk 1.3 to try and get this working. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks in advance.
you need to install Kenneth's GB ROM, and then use the talk2.apk that it includes to replace your original talk.apk
Thanks for your reply. One other question, so does that mean by default the stock att 2.3.4 does not work using video?
I'm running ORFR234. Could someone post Talk2 along with the respected lib for that?

I'm on Stock ICS 4.03 XXLPQ rooted and tryed to install the hacked camera.apk mod from the forums, now my camera doesn't work at all. When I launch the camera app the viewfinder is black. The icons and options are still there and rotate as I rotate the phone but screen is black in photo and video mode and the app just fails or force closes. I renamed the camera.odex.bak back to camera.odex and the same with camera.apk but still no luck. Please can someone advise me on how to fix this problem.
You mean the camera mod that was made for gingerbread? Install the ics camera and you should be fine.

Anywhere I can get the stock apk for the ICS camera?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.cameraics&hl=de or download any ics rom and pull the camera.apk from it.
Press THANKS button if this guide helps you.
Since we know that CM9 RC2 is too buggy, we are forced to use RC1 instead, until its fixed by Wayland.
This is just for you guys stop once for all asking about etas and other stuff anoying.
Please, after read this, dont make any question about camera, kernel updates or deep sleep.
Follow this and get the RC1 ROM from Maclaw working with 100% camera from RC2, but without its bugs like GPS and Bluetooth not working, SDEXT not recognized etc...
BEFORE you start flashing this, make sure you have enough space on system/app, because libs and camera app from RC2 are bigger than RC1's. Delete some ringtones you dont use or some apps. The same for kernel, the dev says about 4~5 MB free space, i recommend about 7MB, for kernel and camera app. (delete the CMWallpapers apk, it has 7,04MB, and im sure you dont use it)
1st, download Maclaw's CM9 RC1 ROM
DOWNLOAD
If you already have it, skip this step, if you dont, make a full wipe then flash it. Reboot your phone.
2nd, download Nims Kernel 2.1 with Camera app and libs fully fixed from RC2
DOWNLOAD
You don't need to mount this, just flash it. After flash, reboot your phone. If everything was right, the screen "Updating/Starting Apps" should appear. When the system starts, test the Camera app, it should start normally, if you get some FC screen, or "Cannot conect the camera" message, try to re-open the app. This message will appear sometimes, even in 3rd party apps, like Instagram, but is just you re-open it.
3rd, download the lastest Nims Kernel available
DOWNLOAD version 2.2.1 for ICS ROM
This ZIPs files are from this thread, i just put them together for make it easier for you guys.
I'm not responsable if it bricks your phone.
For me and a lot of people it works.
this was what I needed, now I'll change to ics again and finally I definitely thank you very much
Nice tip, but wrong section

If you follow this guide exactly as you put it, you will end in a bootloop just like me.Explain better
Very good work
Well just tried all the steps above but sadly it isn't working .
After I flashed nim's 2.1 kernel the phone boot into system upgrading screen and stuck there , I did a restart and the phone got stuck on a boot loop.
Flashing nim's 2.2 kernel after that didn't helped either ..
Please explain the procedure in more details.
Thanks Devs!

You might do something wrong...
you dont need to mount system for flashing this zips....
Try to make a full wipe and flash RC1 again, reboot as normal. After that flash cam app and libs with nims kernel 2.1. Reboot again.
Then flash Nims kernel 2.2
Just for guarantee, after you wipe install RC1, delete somethings you dont use in system/app, because cam app is biggest than RC1's.
Some screens of this working properly
Nice tips, thanks. Can I ask you a question??? Does this ROM drains battery much??? The last time I use it, it drains like hell. I need to know if it still drains battery so I can apply your tips
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
Well got this thing working , Thanks @jmendes.
Edit : After using this ROM for a while I found out that deep sleep isn't working .. ( google location was off )
For me deep sleep works until i take some 5 pics... after that the camera stops and i need to re-open it. Then deep sleep sucks as well :c

I used nims kernel fix 2.2.1 not 2.2 in last step. Maybe you should update your 1st post

ROM stays unchanged. If you had use RC1 when it was out, it keeps the same way. Obviously, battery will drain faster than CM7, but it just need some adjustments by the devs, hope itll fixed in Wayland's release
It might even "work" (not sure if the need for closing and re-opening the camera app several times means fully working...) but I doubt the quality of the pictures will be as good as in a GB based ROM.
For me or anyone who uses the camera sometimes and don't want crappy quality pictures, any ICS or JB ROM shouldn't be considered for now. In fact, without OpenMax drivers I guess we'll never see camera working properly on Galaxy Ace running ICS and JB

Jesus Christ! Fully working for our situation means a app who opens and take a photo with auto focus, flash working properly, with all configurations available with a gallery without bugs AND apps 3rd party accessing camera drivers! It's known that it has a lot of bugs, but its better than an app that just take pictures and break deep sleep resource. Everybody knows that OpenMax drivers wont be release for us, and a camcoder wont be available either, bbut they are really working hard to give us a decent camera. The quality is the same on GB. As you said, "shouldnt be considered for now" so dont use it. If you think it's not worth it, stay with your 2.3 version.

Hmm, you said that flash is working properly ... is the LED working for flashlight apps as well in this ROM ? Last time I tested CM9, it wasn't working and flashlight is very very useful, can't live without it. If yes, I'll try it.
By "camera working properly" I meant taking photos with good quality, and auto-focus and flash both working. That is enough. I did'nt say "fully working".

Go until Wayland's CM9 topic and you will see that for this he will need to put a modified app for flashlight working. But still works.
And yes, the quality keeps as in GB. With auto focus, flash and cam modes working rightly

the question is did u make a nandroid back up before u flashed it. If not u can back up ur apps with titanium back up and then wipe cache and flash ur rom again then restore ur backed up apps with titanium back up.
note: that u shouldn't back up system apps or data specially of course the cam causing the troubles.
