HTC has disabled the ability to turn off shutter sounds with the new camera app in 2.3.4. Why? IDK. Possibly to stop up-skirt shots from old pervs, or probably another thing on the long list of "piss customers off" in addition to adding CIQ.
Removing it is easy enough, but getting the option back is a bit more difficult.
To remove the shutter sound, explore the apk with WinRAR or your favorite archiving program, navigate to res/raw, and remove camera_click.ogg.
I took the liberty of doing it and it is available here.
This HTCCamera.apk also includes Panorma/HDR courtesy of my man SteelH.
Thank you. I'll try it out.
How do I replace the old camera application with this one? Tryied to install like an normal application didn't work.

Freeza,
Thanks.
I was still digging through the files looking for where to make the changes in the actual code.
You just saved me a bunch of time.
found it in root explorer under system/media/audio/ui folder
deleting it didnt seem to work as the sound still remains but the .ogg file is gone.. hmmmmmm

You have to remove it from the apk
Can you guys make a flashable version via recovery? TIA
Using adb just boot into your recovery ( from a windows pc) in this case windows7
the go to the android SDK folder and under platform tools, copy your HTCCamera.apk to that folder then from your PC's command prompt navigate that same folder and do: adb push HTCCamera.apk /system/app
then exit and reboot phone
thanks for this
So....
I moved the htc camera using root explorer to a temp folder,.then moved this apk to system/app and rebooted. Didn't take, so I deleted it. Moved original back to system/app and rebooted. Still no camera action. It's early, I'm still sleepy, maybe I'm missing something.....any suggestions?

ok I got it working this way:
downloaded freeza's apk into root of SD, went to root explorer > replaced new apk with old apk in system/apps > confirmed replacement, then long pressed on apk and went to permissions > checkedmarked everything but the bottom 3 options > confirmed > rebooted and camera is working perfectly.
If you move it with root explorer, don't forget to fix the permissions and reboot.
Still nothing . Doesn't even show up as an app in the drawer. Changed perm to
rwx rwx ---, still no go. Tried fixing perms in twrp, still nothing. Hmmm.

I assume you have to be rooted to use this apk?
Discontinued. The latest versions of all previously supported ROMs have this functionality built in.
This gives you an over-scroll glow when you reach the end of a list.
I really hope you knew that before clicking on this thread.
Example if you don't know what I'm talking about
It's just a modified framework.jar with modified files allowing the over-scroll to work and the correct glow images assigned to it. Theming is very easy, just colorize the over-scroll glow pngs in framework-res.apk. The default is orange.
What I want to do with this thread is sort of have a place where you can find the over-scroll enabling mod for every popular ROM for our phones. If you think I should support a ROM that I currently don't, then please post in the forums because I read every post! Ask to put a ROM on the wishlist. Upload the ROM's framework-res.apk and framework.jar files and I'll work on it when I'm not busy with school.
Currently, the wish list is:
Stock KH7
[Update on 10/15/11] UnNamed v1.0.1 compatible files uploaded. Give them a try. Honorable mention to quarlow
Installation:
BACK UP YOUR OLD FRAMEWORK.JAR
Because I'll just laugh at you if you complain that your phone won't boot up.
>>>ADB:
Code:
Extract the CWM package to get the framework.jar
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd /system/framework/
cp framework.jar framework.jar.backup
exit
exit
adb push framework.jar /system/framework/
adb reboot
>>>ROOT EXPLORER:
Extract the CWM package to get the framework.jar
Okay, now you can theoretically do this, but why would you want to? You'll get lots of crashes and might mess something important up.
Go to: /system/framework/ and rename framework.jar to something else. Go back to where-ever you saved my modified framework.jar and copy it over to /system/framework/ and change the permissions of the new framework.jar to match the old one. I'm pretty sure it's rw-r--r--, but don't quote me on that. + Restart your phone.
Simba501 has a more indepth tutorial on how to install this mod through Root Explorer here
>>>RECOVERY (preferred):
Flash the one specific to the ROM you're running
Whatever method you choose, know that it will take a stupidly long time for your phone to boot-up. Don't worry though, it'll be worth the wait.
Yoderk created some cool themes for the over-scroll glow for Cognition Beta-4 which you can find HERE.
UnNamed 1.0.1 works with 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 as well.
Also, please remember to say THANKS if I helped you!

It's there if you REALLY need it. I haven't tested it and to be honest, it's been a very very long time since I made my last CWM compatible file. Maybe it works though, try it out. If not, then use one of the other methods.
Fine work sir! Works well on Cog Beta 4.

That's awesome! Someone test it on stock w/ root, because if it works there, I'll be amazed.
Confirming that the cwm flashable zip works on cog beta 3!
Working fine here. I'm technically on Beta 1, but I've manually added the components I wanted from each Beta update because there were things I didn't want.
I have a suggestion. I don't know why everyone repeats that method for using root explorer. That's a terrible way to do it. I always use root explorer to manually replace my files and have never experienced any issues. Here is the correct way to use root explorer for manually replacing modded files:
1. Navigate to the file that you plan to replace (in this case, system/framework/framework.jar).
2. Copy (not move) the file and paste it somewhere on your SD card (internal or external, doesn't matter - as long as you can locate it in case you need to put it back). Rename the file you just pasted, but very subtly. For example, when renaming framework.jar, I would only throw something in front of the file name, such as "Backup - framework.jar", so I can easily distinguish it from the new file if I put them in the same spot.
3. NANDROID BACKUP!
4. Download/put on your sd card (whatever you do) the new file that you want to replace the old one with.
5. Move the new file to /system (not in a subfolder yet). Here you will change the permissions, which is crucial to avoid FCs and problems. In root explorer, you would long press the file, press permissions, and set them to whatever the old file's permissions are. This may require going to verify what they are before starting this step. In this case, the permissions are RW-R-R, which in root explorer, means that the first two boxes on the first line are checked and only the first box on the next two lines are checked.
6. Ensure that your new file is correctly named to exactly what it is replacing (case actually matters) and that the permissions also match what it is replacing.
7. Move your new file to the folder, root explorer will ask if you want to replace the file. Confirm.
8. Back out of root explorer and immediately reboot.
No force closes, no problems .
Cwm file worked great on cog beta 4. Thnkz!!

Thanks! I added your tutorial to the OP.
Well if your like me and hate orange! Then here are two framework-res.apk with a blue and green overscroll color. Just rename them to framework-res.apk and overwrite the original file in system/framework.
Do not forget to back up original file! I claim no responsibility to problems.
Very subtle but a very nice touch...kudos...came zip worked great!!!

Yes. Those need the tw-framework to be modified and I haven't taken a look at those yet since I'm trying out Perception for a couple of days and that already has it coded in? But it isn't a problem per-say, it's just how Samsung decided to code those specific apps and there isn't a way to implement them in 2.3.4 without breaking the slide left to call, slide right to message, feature. 2.3.5 Roms have that built in on Samsung apps.
Problem probably isn't the best word.
Thanks for answering though. I always wanted the overscroll but having mixed bothered me.

There's a leaked 2.3.5 ROM for the i777 but personally I'm using designgear's Perception which is a port of a i9100 ROM and it works perfectly. I'd recommend the latter since leaked ROMs tend to have problems.

could you modify the framework.jar for UnNamed v1.0.1 - First ever well documented and open source stock derived rom? It has the extended power menu and if I overwrite the framework.jar using this it will break that extended power menu. Much thanks for getting the overscroll glow!!

So after using the Samsung Galaxy S II for over a month now I've had one complaint. In-Call Volume using the handset ear piece. It was "OK" in quiet places but anywhere else...way below par.
So, after looking around for several weeks trying to find a fix I finally got help from a well know dev (Entropy512) as well as using system/lib audio files from Designgears ROM 'Perception'.
So...how do you finally get your in-call volume increased?
First and foremost...Always backup whatever you're changing. Better safe than sorry. Just make a copy of your current system/lib folder, rename it something like 'backup_lib' and place on your sd card somewhere.
Option 1
Download this flashable zip, flash it in CWM, Reboot, Enjoy. (This zip includes some audio files from the Perception ROM, if for any reason DesignGears has an issue with this PM me and I will remove the zip. I'm only using the files to help others solve their in-call volume issue)
MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING
Download the Flashable Update Here
I have tested this on three different SGSII's and all seems well! This is a NO WIPE flash, I do reccomend clearing your Dalvik Cache and Cache Partition though.
-Reboot into Recovery
-Scroll down to 'Advanced' and select
-Select "clear Dalvik Cache"
-Flash this update
-Reboot your phone and enjoy!
Option 2 (Incase the flash doesn't work or I am asked to remove the the zip file)
1) Download Designgears ROM 'Perception' Found Here
2) Open the zip file of your current ROM (doesn't matter what ROM)
3) Open the system folder and then open the system/lib folder (of your current ROM)
4) Next, Open the same folder in the Perception ROM
5) Copy the files listed below from the Perception ROM and paste them over the files in your ROM:
- lib_Samsung_Acoustic_Module_Llite.so
- lib_Samsung_Resampler.so
- lib_Samsung_Sound_Booster.so
- libaudio.so
- libaudioeffect_jni.so
- libaudioflinger.so
- libaudiohw_op.so
- libaudiohw_sf.so
- libaudiopolicy.so
- liblvvefs.so
- libmediayamaha.so
- libmediayamaha_jni.so
- libmediayamaha_tuning_jni.so
- libmediayamahaservice.so
- libsamsungAcousticeq.so
- libsamsungSoundbooster.so
- libsoundalive.so
- libsoundpool.so
- libSR_AudioIn.so
- libyamahasrc.so
*Only copy/replace the files listed above as they are only audio files. DO NOT COPY/REPLACE all system/lib files... You'll have unwanted consequences and you'll probably kill a puppy.
6) Now go to the Perception ROM and open system\app and find phone.apk. (Save a copy of your current phone.apk...Just in case)
-Copy (Perception's) phone.apk and replace the phone.apk on your current ROM.
7) After you replace the files listed above on your ROM, reflash your ROM and enjoy your increased call volume.
Note: If you don't want to reflash your ROM and risk losing any settings, you should be able to copy the files and replace them with Root Access and a file explorer, then Reboot your device immediately after. I haven't tried this yet so if someone wants to try and leave feedback, please feel free.
EDIT: Copying the files using a root explorer does work but may cause your phone to crash/reboot afterwards. I'd still recommend just re-flashing the ROM to avoid potential issues. Once again, make sure and make a back up so you can revert any changes if something doen't work properly.
I will try uploading a zip file with appropriate files so you can download but currently I do not have Designgears permission. This is their code and I don't want to step on any toes.
EDIT: I have tried reaching out to DG for permission but had no luck, if he asks that I remove the zip file, I will do so.
Known Potential Issues:
- When flashing over a stock/rooted ROM this update may cause the phone application to crash/force close. I have tried this update personally on every ROM I could flash and haven't had any issues. However, I have not tried it on the stock ROM. If you're on stock/rooted, please make a backup so if it does cause issues you can simply revert the changes.
Much thanks goes to Entropy512 for the help with solving this issue and Designgears ROM 'Perception'. Using Perception showed me that increasing the in-call volume was possible! (it's a very stable and awesome ROM as well )
***UPDATE***
Due to some people being a worried about flashing the update I have taken the liberty of making the backup files for you and making them flashable!
- I have made revert files for all of the major ROM's we currently have for our device. I did not include Perception because that ROM is where the audio files originated from. Below is the download links for the backups.
IF my volume fix does NOT work, simply download the backup for your ROM and flash it. It will revert all the changes my fix made.
- Revert_CM7.1_Stable
- Revert_H8s2_1.2.2
- Revert_Serendipity_8.2
- Revert_Stock_UCKH7
- Revert_UnNamed_1.2
- Revert_MIUI 1.11.4 v1
- If you are using Perception ROM you do NOT need the volume fix as this ROM has the files built in
As a side note, I have tried this on several I9100 ROM's as well and had luck with them all.
If this thread helps, please click the thanks button for me, I'm new to the XDA community.
Any I9100 ROM should work here for the libs - however:
Your mic will be screwed up for outgoing audio unless you change the Samsung Noise Reduction settings. (DG forced this in Perception, I believe he did it in an APK somewhere and not in the libs.)

I just tried a call and you're correct, the mic isn't working properly. Do I need to find the APK or do you know what changes I need to make? This is a popular issue and I'm hoping this thread can help.
Edit: I found some APK's....any idea which one would deal with the mic?
-CallSetting.apk
-Phone_Util.apk
-Phone.apk
-Settings.apk

Try copying the CallSetting.apk as well (use both). If you still don't have any luck with fixing the mic issue and you're using a file manager to make the switch, try re-flashing your ROM with the apk changes instead.
Make a backup before doing it so you can restore all your settings if it doesn't work for some reason.

IF I can get approval from Designgears to use some sources from his ROM I shouldn't have any issues putting this into a zip file for everyone. I've reached out to DG, just awaiting a response

I originally posted this wondering if anyone had success installing the Stock Blur FM Radio on top of Liberty (or another ROM for that matter).
I finally got it working by pushing 6 files to various locations in the system folder and setting their permissions respectively. I originally had some trouble because several of the files already existed, and I left them as-is. I found that I had to overwrite all the files with newer ones (which I got from Eclipse 1.2).
If anyone else is interested in installing the FM Radio, I have made and attached two update.zip files that can be flashed from BSR. You only need one, so just choose the one you are most comfortable with.
1) FMRadio-update_system.zip
This will install the FM radio to your /system/app folder. (The app should show up in your app drawer automatically)
2) FMRadio-update_user.zip
This will install the FM radio to your /data/app folder. But the app may not show up in your app drawer automatically. You might have to use use a file browser to run/install the file "com.motorola.motofmradio.apk" in the /data/app folder.
Alternatively, if you want to place all the files manually, you can download either zip and put the included files in the following locations (required permissions are in bold)
/data/app/com.motorola.motofmradio.apk rw-r-r
/system/app/FMRadioService.apk rw-r-r
/system/bin/fmradioserver rwx-rx-rx
/system/lib/libFMRadio.so rw-r-r
/system/lib/libfmradioplayer.so rw-r-r
/system/lib/libfmradio_jni.so rw-r-r
Special thanks to nitroglycerine33 for the files. They all came from Eclipse 1.2
What's FM radio?
The Droid X2 has built-in hardware for an FM Radio. The stock ROM came with an app that let's you access the radio. This is really useful when you want to listen to live music (or NPR etc) and you don't have good 3G or wifi service.
There are no apps on the Market that work with the specific chipset in our phones, so the functionality of the stock moto software cannot be replaced by another app.
ignore this
I was also trying to get FM radio to work with liberty.
I downloaded spirit FM radio from market and.it works.
U have to go into settings and choose one.of the.Motorola hardware for it to work right but it does work after u change the settings...
---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------
Only thing is I haven't been able.to figure out.how to adjust volume...
But it does work...open spirit FM...press menu..settings...audio settings...method...choose.one.of the.Motorola ones...best.I can do...seems to turn on.Bluetooth for some reason...
Thanks ash. I did try Spirit radio, but didn't get it to work. I didn't realize there were hardware settings. Maybe I'll try it again now that you told me how.
Anyway, if you want the Stock FM Radio, you can probably follow the solution I posted above. Let me know which radio you think is better, and if you try my fix, let me know if it worked.
Thanks!

Has anyone had any luck getting these files to work in Molten v2? I get a parse error when trying to install. If I open them as a zip file and extract the APK's and install the FM radio icon is installed but when opening the app it either hangs or force closes constantly.

You say tried to extract the apk from the zip. If you do that you need to put the apk in /system/app and you will also need to extract the library files from the zip and put them in /system/lib. Then make sure you set the permissions that same as the other files in those directories.

You need to use the Boot-Strap-Recovery (BSR) by Koush to install the zip. (i.e. Not the default moto recovery). If you are already using BSR, then perhaps you can re-download the zip file and try again.
BTW, These zips should work (in theory) with any current ROM on the X2, because the only custom recovery we have so far is BSR, and the updater script in the zip IS compatible with installation via BSR. Also, I doubt there are any ROMs that use different system, lib, and app folders than the ones these files are installed into. So there should be no reason I can think of that this fix wouldn't work on any of the current ROMs.
I've personally tested it on Liberty, hedwig has had success on molton (thanks for testing and reporting, hedwig), and it obviously isn't necessary at this point on Eclipse. Anyone should feel free to post their results with other ROMs.

And don't forget about the one that goes in /system/bin
It really is easier to just use the update.zip if you can get it to work
Hi all, I may be talking out of my hat but in my case I have (3, maybe 4 times so far) successfully installed the stock FM app using TB.
Before wiping and installing a new ROM I make a TB backup of both:
FM Radio 2.3.4
FMRadioService 2.3.4
And I simply restore both of these after my new ROM is up and running. Currently I have this working on Molten 2.1

Thanks for the info. It's nice to know that works on Molten.
Originally I tried to install just those two files (taken from Eclipse) on top of a Liberty install, and it didn't work. I assume it was because the lib and bin files from Liberty were not compatible with the apks from Eclipse for some reason (digital signature etc?). But perhaps that incompatibility is not an issue in Molten. Whatever the case, I certainly advocate using the simplest and easiest method possible to install the radio. If you can get away with using TB, that's great. The update.zip file is just a good, sure method that should work on any ROM.
I hope this isn't too late of a reply but I wanted to report on the above.
I have just installed liberty 3 and I used titanium backup to install the radio just as I did with molten 2.1.
It is working perfectly.
I will say that my backups are from the 2.3.4 SBF. I cannot say if backing the files from eclipse or anywhere else would work.
PLEASE READ
This mod ONLY applies to UNLIMITED USERS who DO NOT have tethering on their plan
This mod DOES NOT apply to SHARE EVERYTHING plans
I took a peak over at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/g3-hotspot-hack-t2812305 and saw that there were issues with using the G2 apk. I decided to take a looksy at it and see if I can replicate the functionality of the G2 apk with out having to re-apply settings to turn on tethering.
I have always had issues using root explores and database explorers messing up permissions and causing boot loops so until I have a proper recovery I use the android terminal emulator. Many people here have had plenty of success using file explores so give it a shot if you like!
Skip down to the bottom for a video walkthrough created by { owenbeals aka DroidModderX}
First things first you will need root!
0.) Start a root shell
Code:
su
1.) mount the system partition for read and write access
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
2.) Rename stock files HotspotProvision.apk and HotspotProvision.odex to something memorable. I use .bak and .bakdex
Code:
cd /system/app
mv HotspotProvision.apk HotspotProvision.bak
mv HotspotProvision.odex HotspotProvision.bakdex
3.) Now copy over the new file, can be the root of the extSD card which is /storage/external_SD/HotspotProvisionVzG3.apk
Code:
cp /storage/external_SD/HotspotProvisionVzG3.apk .
4.) The last thing is to change permissions to 644 (RW- R-- R-- for you file browsy types )
Code:
chmod 644 HotspotProvisionVzG3Mod.apk
5.) Now reboot and enjoy your glitch free hotspot action!
You must reboot! Do not try to "install" it, it does not function like that.
N.B.
Some users have noted that their cpu governors change to Performance while the hotspot is on and change back to On Demand when off instead of normal Interactive. This is the stock behaviour of the kernel, and not a bug introduced by this mod.

You have change something every time you use it.
The modded apk works perfectly. I used root explorer to do it though. I renamed the original files, copied your apk to system/app, renamed it to HotSpotProvision.apk, fixed the permissions and rebooted.

Pretty cool. I'll have to give this a try when I'm bored later on today at work. Could you explain what you actually did to the hotspot apk though?
One thing though - why not just append ".bak" to the end of the existing filename/extension? That way, you don't lose the original extension so you can't forget what it was. It works fine. That's what I always do. In other words, your files would end in ".apk.bak" and ".odex.bak". The system only sees the extension after the final period.

How do you launch tethering after moving, renaming, and re-permissioning the apk? I've tried to launch from Settings app but nothing happens.
The downloaded apk he modded is named differently from the original one in the system/app folder. After I changed the names for the original files in system/app. I changed the name of the modded apk to match the original apk in system/app. I copied the renamed modded apk to system/app, set the permissions correctly, then rebooted. I went into Settings then More... under wireless networks,Mobile HotSpot and changed the SSID and password. I can turn it on via settings or the quick setting in the notification bar.

I'd guess for it to work from stock menus (i.e. without starting the apk directly from a file browser app or terminal emulator) you'd have to rename it the same as the stock apk so that the path is the same for the various apps that would call it.

So I have renamed it exactly as the original apk was and rebooted but still no go. On reboot I get a force close of VZWAWSService. I have some of the system bloat frozen, maybe this has something to do with it.

Sweet it's working now, I had the lgmobilehotspot GUI.apk frozen and that's what was causing the issue. Thanks for the apk and tutorial guys!

Did you reboot?
There should be no reason to rename the apk. When android installs applications it goes into the /data... Dir as the package name. All intents are handled via package names therefore the apk name is inconsequential.
To use you should be able to go settings > more and see all the tethering options.
To verify placement and permissions use
Code:
su
ll /system/app/Hotspot*
You should see your two backup files and the new HotspotProvisionVzG3Mod.all
Permissions should be rw-r--r--
Let me know if you still have issues.
I will post a DIY response so that people who want to learn about the modification can play along at home. Think of it as source code for this mod:good:

Thanks for the detailed response, I got it working now. I had previously frozen some of the bloat on the phone when I got it and one of the apps I froze was the lgemobilehotspotui.apk which is needed to work correctly. Thanks for all the help from the awesome devs here.
Nice work, thanks. I just installed it with Root Explorer, and it worked perfectly. Just have to do it to the wife's phone, now.
Well done. Working great!
Thanks! Works perfect. And now I can use the toggle on the drop down menu to activate the hotspot. Thanks so much.
Worked
Worked perfectly for me. Used ES file explorer to move the files around.
I have downloaded, changed permissions, changed the file names to .bak but when I try to install the nodded split says application not installed. I'm using root explorer. I did have the othe mod installed and deleted it first. Wondering if that is the problem
Edit...Stopped trying to install and just rebooted and it turns on just fine, and my laptop connects...the app shows it connected and listed as an approved device...yet I'm not able to actually get a a connection.

Thanks! Works like a champ.
works great!
I'm also getting the VZWARSService has stopped message, and when I go into settings and turn on the hotspot, nothing happens. If I go into mobile hotspot and turn it on from there, I get this message: Unfortunately, com.lge.mobilehotspot.ui has stopped. Followed the directions exactly, so I'm not sure what's going on.
Works perfectly. I used Root Explorer to rename and move everything. Thanks!
Worked like a charm the only thing is still changes the cpu governor to performance the g2 one did it to I don't know if someone is able to fix that
It's just when I turn on the hotspot afterwards I use android tuner and change it back to interactive
Does anyone else have this issue
