Hii all.
Im havig optimus one running cm7 BETA 6.3
i loved its stock froyo camera app..
and when i updated it to gingerbread using cm7 i got a new camera which is a bit laggy with very less options.....
and i even restore the nand and took the camera app form the system file including its .odex
and i tried to install it in cm7 but it says application not installed....
Does dis happened because its a froyo app and will run only on froyo.??
or is there any way i can crack through.???
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanxx in advance...
Yes, actually you answered yourself: it's not working because it's a Froyo application. So you will have to use 3rd party solutions which may not be the best, but still better than no camera at all, at least until LG comes up with its own version of Gingerbread and applications made for it.
Try lgcamera from the market
Then i think i gotta wait for lg official gingerbread update......
that's the only option left....
what about the 3 party way.???
is it risky.???
and how can i do it.????
same problem here, i like CM7 rom but hate camera in it, i like Froyo Camera and tired alot to install it on CM7
any solution!

So I've read that the only thing that is not working for 2.2 (and maybe above) custom roms camera is the Zoom function? But I could still take great pictures and vids, but without the zoom, correct??
I just need clarification thanks
Ive tried most, if not all of the major 2.2 roms. The camera was the selling point for the phone so why hinder it? That being said I really need to keep the function, so I was picky about it and even uninstalled a few roms that I otherwise loved because of the audio/video sync problems. Ive found that wolfbreaks rom, and pzafroyo (my current fave) have little to no probs with the camcorder sound, where as most others have bad lag and/or low sound playback. The picture IMO look the best with wolfbreaks, I actually like it better than the stock 2.1 camera, I impressed my brother who has an iphone 4. There seems to be a fair amount of picture settings for all of the 2.2 stuff, aside from zoom which I can live w/o. The MIUI camera takes nice pics but it seemed like the menu is laggy and touch wasnt being picked up easily.
Yeah, I can live without the zoom. I don't use it at all.

Be careful...I installed a couple 2.2 ROMs and i had troubles with the camcorder as well. You can get around zoom for pictures with Vignette which is a good camera app for 3$ in the market, but my videos were either lagging or freezing.
I went back to a 2.1 ROM until the camera is 100%
Some people had better luck than me...so you may be one of the lucky ones.
Just make a backup of a 2.1 ROM and then setup whatever 2.2 you want and if the camera isn't good enough then whenever you need it you can restore the 2.1 and switch back when your done with it.

camera is not fully working in any 2.2 ROM due to some underlying issues regarding the APL level changes from 2.1 to 2.2
I am hoping that we get back the zoom in 2.3.3 upgrade by SE and i hope that it happens soon.
then on that ROM people can bet lots and lots of stuff.
I am probably late to the game but didn't see this anywhere so thought I would just mention - I just flashed this Gingerbread based ROM real quick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092565 and then flashed the APK mentioned here http://www.xda-developers.com/android/skype-2-available-for-other-devices/ and made a quick test call from my netbook to my Streak - It wasn't perfect (could be due to slow network connection and not doing a clean install of the new ROM) but anyway, it did work.
So I just did a quick video call to my parents and confirmed that it works very well - I was also able to switch from the front camera to the back camera.
Asking because I don't know; What is the difference between Skype and Fring? Fring all day with my kids and seems to be the same as what you just did with your parents.
do you need gingerbread for this to work?
yes, I believe so you need gingerbread for this.
hopefully they will eventually release an app for those of us with devices still stuck on official 2.2
Fring is a cool app but I am not sure if they have a desktop version - I have only used it once on a friend's phone. Frankly I have been using Oovoo for some time now to call my parents and it has worked great, but I have MANY more contacts who use Skype and didn't feel like spending the time or energy to try and get them all to switch.
Yes - for sure you need Gingerbread - I took a stab at installing it on Streakdroid 1.9 but it was a no go. As soon as I installed the above ROM and then installed the APK it worked.
As a side note the above ROM seems to be working great - I had been planning to install DJ Steve's Gingerbread ROM but will have to wait until I have some time.

i did on steves gingerbread....dont work. force close.
What would happen if I just change my build.prop to read version 2.3.3?
Are there other areas of the phone that confirm gingerbread?

My guess is it would force close - just changing the version doesn't actually make it Gingerbread so there would be compatibility issues. I will check later since I am going to be playing around with another Streak tonight.
Yep - force close.
Hello guys. First of all, sorry if I created this thread in a wrong section. I´m still kind of newbie here .
I´m having FC when using "infinity focus" on Camera 360 and Vignette. I tried to manually fix permitions on xrecovery but it didn´t work for me.
My ROM is Wolfbreak 3.5 clean (no themes or any mods).
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
like why u using camera 360 and vignette u can try using only either one of em and see if it works???\
Thank me if it helps !!!

I use both because each one has its individual features =).
I tried to apply your solution but it didn´t work. =(
similar problem here, vignette hangs and fails to initialize. then even the stock camera dosent work ok
after a reboot however, the stock camera comes back to life but when i try opening vignette, same problem all over.
same here guys.. any fix?
wipe data with titanium backup then reboot.
Did the trick for me, then leave it on auto, don't manually select infinity and it will be fine

Thank you scooby, actually it works when using auto focus. But since it´s a lack of functionality, I would like to report it, I just can´t do it right now at Wolfbreak´s official thread because I don´t have enough posts yet
Other impression I got, the background process after taking a shot at higher resolutions seems to be slower (specially on Vignette). Anyone felt this too?
This is not related to Wolfbreaks ROM. I have exactly the same problem with Vignette on the stock 2.3.3 firmware.

Steinrk thank you for your reply. I don´t remember testing it on the stock firmware. This is interesting. Which problem exactly do you refer? The slow post-processing on higher resolution or the FC when using infinity focus?
is anyone also using the battery circle mod ? i didnt flash the apk and that has resolved the problem for me now. both the stock and vignette work perfectly including sony panorama app
WB-XPERIA TW Gingerbread V3.9.0 is the last version, go for it, i haven't seen any error like that anymore.
BTW the original camera app is working better than Vignette, not sure why, but i gave up on using Vignette for now.
OK so a year later and frustration with Moto update waits, I'm considering rooting this phone. My main reason for doing so is mainly to freeze or remove Blur and carrier (Bell) bloatware, but I have some questions about which way to go with this:
1. Rooting but not flashing a custom ROM. Instead, freeze the bloat using TiBU. This would be the far simpler method I think. I would then install a custom launcher (I currently prefer Launcher 7) and freeze the Blur home launcher so it doesn't run behind Launcher 7. My concern about this method is that I've read occasional reports by people that some of the "frozen" Blur system apps actually continued to work...
2. Flashing CM7. This is my 2nd choice. I'm a pretty lazy guy, and I don't mind rooting with how easy it is to do these days, but the extra work flashing custom ROMS isn't appealing to me. If I am forced to go this route, (a)What's the best way to freeze or remove the launcher that comes with CM7 and replace with one of my choosing so that two launchers are not running at the same time? (b)Does CM7 come with all the Motoblur and Carrier stuff removed?
I would go with the CM7 route. it is a little more to do but not by much and the payoff will be much greater. once you have it though as far as the launcher goes just install the one you want and use titanium back up to uninstall ADW (the launcher that comes with most CM7 builds). And use CM7 is a non BLUR ROM so blur is fully non existant on it. and all the other bloat ware is gone as well. You can go even further and use the nuetrino ROM witch is reall barebones and you can add on the stuff you need but i would suggest grabbing the CM7 RC1 nightly and running with that. Any question on how to do any of this just read the noob guide over and it is a breeze and you will even seen how easy it is to do after that and find yourself testing out many diffrent roms.
thanks, I only have 2 questions that will make or break CM7 for me -
has a good stable solution been found for the poor camera quality I've seen reported with CM7?
How well does CM7 play with GPS and the Motorola Cardock? I use those a LOT
I hae had no issues with camera quality on my CM7 and as far as the GPS car dock not sure how it will effect it. i can say that GPS over all is also not a issue for me. i dont have the car dock but i do use GPS navigation most of the day every day and have no issues.

Have you tried the miui camera app? I notice better quality with that camera app on cm7 than the stock cm7 camera app.

I have not tried that one I have seen that it is really nice and has many more options than the stock cm7 just never worried to much about it

I want to use Cyanogen or Slimbean etc. but I frigging hate the Camera app and I really hate the clock app too. I really don't want to use an official rom for my phone but I really cannot part with those apps.
Is there anyway I can use something like Titanium Backup to save the .apk and just overwrite it over the Cyanogen/Slimbean one instead?
I can't stress how badly I need to do this, it's the deal-breaker of Cyanogen.. I've never tried it before but I don't want to waste a couple of hours flashing and revamping to find that I can't do it.. :/
Has anyone tried? I can't find another thread over it... just on the HTC camera app.

AFAIK you can't. The camera app on Stock rom is a touchwiz based app. Won't be compatible with CM
What if I move touchwiz with me? You mean the launcher right, or is that something different completely :/ is there really no way to even try and get it working as a beta? I mean it's leagues ahead of Cyanogen's Camera app and I take so many pictures with my phone... I really miss those options.
Touchwiz is not just the launcher. Its the name of the software framework running on the phone (android x.x + all the other stuff including the interface, camera, messaging apps etc. Since the camera app is part of that, it's impossible to port it to for example cyanogenmod.
You should just wait for android 4.2 to be ported to the s3. As far as i have seen the camera works great with many options !
