Hey guys, I just flashed MIUI (1.9.23) for the first time and i'm loving it so far. one of the only problems is that i'm missing the option to take panoramic pics on the camera. Is there any way I can pull the hacked camera from SH 5.1 and have it working MIUI? is there something special I have to do or can I just rip it right out of the SH rom? Thanks for your help guys!

Unless there is some dependency in the framework or another app you should be able to copy it over and install the apk. It can't hurt to try it.

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?

So anyway I can get asop mms apk to work with working mms? Cause I tried to with my LG thrill and failed with it. Nothing ever worked. I'd prefer the stock android messagsing app. But iI don't want to flash a Rom. I know I have to root. But I don't want to flash a rom just for that.
Also Is tthere anyway to change in the framework like where its like froyo everything is vannila like a theme I know it wouldn't be something simple but would be nice

You have to be rooted. The mms.apk is a system app so, to get the apk to install requires you to override.
Yes I know that!!!!! I have known this since I got my first android begenning of last year....... I was asking where to obtain one that will work completely with mms working as well

Sorry didnt see that. Just do a search. But make sure its from gingerbread otherwise it won't work since its from an older sdk. I did it on my captivate

I accomplished this a while ago but I can't remember how I did it! I attached the apk I used, but I don't know if I installed normally or if I deleted the old mms.apk and used this one? Here's the code for getting rid of the old apk and replacing it with this one, which is what I THINK I did.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd /system/app/
cp mms.apk mms.apk.backup
exit
exit
adb push mms.apk /system/app/
Let me know if this works
EDIT: If you want the stock android messaging, with no themes or anything, look here for the apk:

The attached file is themed black, which I think is cool, but the stock is there if you need it.
Awesome. I got it to work using root explorer. I HATED the sammy messaging app. This is perfect

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)

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

I was trying to pull one camera apk from 1 Rom and install in another by extracting the camera apk and putting it in the system/app of the other Rom and overwriting the current camera apk and installed and even though it installs it force closes when trying to use it. First time I've done this on the DNA but this is how I did it on the galaxy nexus, is there something else I need to do to get this to work? Any help is always appreciated
