I've got something of a problem. I enjoy the speed and customization of Cyanogen, but I've also grown accustomed and frankly, think that the Samsung stock camera is the best camera app for our phones.
I was wondering whether or not it is possible to take the original stock camera, and create a CWM flashable ZIP file out of it? Like how Cyanogen has the ZIP flashable Google Apps.
I'm currently on a MIUI rom because it retains the original camera, but it doesn't have the finesse of Cyanogen.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hi,
cyanogen has another framework, the Samsung stock camera don't work.

CM and MIUI are pure aosp roms which has no 'samsungyness" left.
So no apps from samsung framework will work. Hence, you can NOT use stock camera on miui.
Only rom afaik, that is almost pure aosp and has a few good samsung apps in it, is GingerMod. (samsung browser, camera and fm radio).
And, for replacing/adding a new system app, if you have the app apk, you can just push it to /system/app using root explorer, set correct permissions and reboot. Cwm flashable zip is just an easy way.
Thanks for the replies. I've been pushing the Camera.apk into the app directory, but it wasn't working. I thought that the app itself may contain the drivers required; I didn't know it required an entirely different framework.
I'm running GingerMod right now, but unfortunately it is still sluggish compared to Cyanogen.
Can anyone recommend a camera app for Cyanogen, which is as close to stock as possible? Cyanogen's default camera unfortunately has a longer lag between pressing the shutter button and taking the picture, than the stock Samsung one.
Try Vignette, Camera 360 or lgCamera. They are pretty good. Sometimes I use them even instead of the stock app

I am currently playing around with customizing my own rom for personal use based of the plain de-odexed rom. I have added various packages like:
Camera mod
oc4 1.2 jac kernal
mobileAP
some custom themes and fonts
swype with voice icon
GPS files from leak
ect
My question is with all the main roms (eugene and Bionix) released there are always references to "Build.prop mods for better data throughput", how can I take JUST THOSE CHANGES and port them into my rom. Is it as simple as using abd pull and push with certain files? Do I need someone to make me a flashable zip package?
Also I noticed eugene in his latest build used a different camera and would love to try that is that just as simple as adb pull and pushing the camera apk?
Any help provided would be truly appreciated I am still kinda a noob.
Also just to be EXTREMELY clear this is only for my personal use and basic knowledge. I wish to take nothing away form the absolutely stellar work these guys do everyday, I simply have some different preferences then the main roms created and would love to learn to take the advantages of each rom and customize them to my own needs.
No one can help me out?
Should I ask in dev section as no one here seems to have any ideas?
I'm in same boat
I am doing the same.i noticed in bionix build.prop the symlinks. I like that.but he also references a "jit" did they port a jit? that would rock
Yeah, title says it all. I have a XPERIA X10 Mini running android 2.1
BTW i want to go back to 1.6 just to try it out again, but i dont know how, is there any official way or do i need to mod etc ?!
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: Not yet.
Even longer answer:By the looks of things, all the Gingerbread roms available here have CyanogenMod inside them. Sony Ericsson haven't released 2.3 onto this phone and they're not likely to either, so the only way to get a 'pure' version of it would be to hope that somebody makes one...or make it yourself.
Why do you want GB without CM though? The reason so many people put it in their rom's is that it's very good. You get all sorts of improvements to the phone's functionality and performance.
As for going back to 1.6, there's no official way as SE will only give you the latest firmware. But you can use Flashtool to do it instead.
stock FTW!
I think the OP is like me and they actually prefer using the stock launcher. I've been looking for the same thing myself, a pure stock rom just updated 2.3.3.
I appreciate all of the cool tweaks and mods that CM adds to the rom but for me those tweaks usually end up borking another feature i'd rather use. I am also not a big fan of the customizations that some rom authors do like alternative launchers, heavily modified notification trays, weird fonts and color schemes. i'd prefer a just straight vanilla stock rom w/the sony launcher and camera; works nicely w/the screen realestate that we have w/the x10 mini. Again, i appreciate all the hardwork by all the rom authors/devs.
The big killer for me on the CM roms is the camera, still not up to the sony stock camera in my experience and again no stock launcher; some are close.
My solution was the following:
1. repair phone back to stock using PC Companion
2. reroot phone (bootloader already was unlocked)
3. reinstall CWM recovery
4. remove bloatware from stock rom (sony sync crap, game trials, quickoffice, etc)
5. update /etc/hosts file w/ad blocking version
6. create nand backup in CWM. (also made one after setting up miniCM7 in case i wanted to go back at anytime by restoring the nand)
if we could just get 2.3.3 in a pure stock form.. i'd be in heaven.. however, i may give the new ICS roms a try once they get to everyday-use-stable.
btw, the x10 minis have been the hardest to get root, recovery and kernels on of all of the android devices i've used yet. (Nexus one, HTC G2, LG G2x, Lenovo TPT, Galaxy Tab). mad props to the devs that got us to where we are now.
Sir can you install or put in CM7/9 the stock Radio and Camera PLEASE ?
Sorry for the Bad English, Thank you in Advance Sir
When you mean "stock", do you mean stock from CM7/9 or stock from Samsung?
For the latter, it would be quite troublesome for the Ace developers to port Samsung TW Apps to AOSP ROMs.
Plus the camera in CM9 does not work yet... But you can always download another camera app from the Market.
installing camera apps from market for cm9 wont do any good. since the problem is the phone cannot detect or connect to the camera itself. its best if you go for customized stock roms such as themyth, omegarom or other stock roms at development section
can i use this stock rom apps on cm7?
1. phone and contact
2. camera
3. music player
extract from andro-id and stock rom, push to cm7, not working..
Why do you want to use those stock apps ?
The same one are already present in CM7 Roms...
You don't give us enough information ...
Have a good day
So I'm on a 4.2 JB ROM, and I don't like the stock 4.2 camera app. I really like that ICS 4.0 camera app. I looked at some ROMs that ran android 4.0 ICS and tried to look for the APK for the camera. couldnt find it. Also I tried installing the gallery.apk but it didnt work. I didn't try flashing it cuz there wasnt a .zip file to flash. I know theres Camera ICS but its not the same. Theres no options for focus modes etc
anyone know how how to download the stock ASUS camera app?
