I recently got Molten v2.3, and deleted the camera click ogg file, cause I never want it to sound. However, all of my camera apps (two now, used to be three) still have the same sound, and I can't find the sound in any of the system/media folders.
Really want it gone, thanks in advance.
I have looked around a lot too, and can't find something that works.
I should mention that the two apps are stock and camera zoom. Both make same sound which is different then before so I'm assuming its molten related.
More than likely they're embedded in their apk. Do those apps have an option to turn the click off?
Camera ZOOM does, it doesn't work, rooted or unrooted. Unrooted I had been able to use a couple sound managing programs to silence it but that doesn't work now. How would I go about changing the app?

I wish I had a reply for you on that. I know it has to do with unpacking the apk on your computer, making the edit of the file(s), repacking the apk and signing. Check around the site and I'm sure you'll find the answer. Wish I had a better answer for that. Maybe someone else will step in with a better answer than mine.
That's more of an answer than I had, so thanks. Will probably just get a different app lol

Not that this helps yet but I know I've seen this somewhere end of last year. If I remember I think it was a change to the file that actually made the sound. Racking my brain to remember what it was or the forum I found it in... crap. Ill let you know if I find it.
Edit: system/media/audio/ui
camera_click I renamed to camera_click.bak
I think this is what I used and it worked for me. You're hearing the typical camera shutter sound? If I remember, that camera sound was much simpler, not the traditional shutter, more of a click with that rom. Must be something different.

Is this possible to have on our phones? I have not seen anything posted via search or the sticky (unless I missed it)
I know phones in the Galaxy series have it, just wondering if ours are able to also and how it would be done.
Thanks
Running CM7
+1 on this!
do the Galaxies have the sounds on their Stock or on their CM6/7 ROMs? I know our phones have bootup sounds if you're running the Thunderbolt port, the Desire Z port and both of the Desire HD ports (don't know about the MIUI ROMs, but since they're somewhat CM based I doubt it)... so it's not the phone, it's the ROM.
Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
Got it!
Here are the files you need, this is for the STOCK ROM Rooted of course.
This is the call of android one with sound. I am heading to that post next and maybe even a thread for future questions on this.
1. In the audio.rar there is a default.xml file that goes in system/customize/CID add .bak to yours first though to save it from being deleted.
2. The last 2 files, bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 (yes MP3 not ogg) go in system/media/
Pretty easy huh? Well now it is. lol
All this did was take the last command out of the xml file so the system wouldn't search for T-Mobiles crap bootanimation anymore. So disregard all TMUS_ in the beginning of your future animations as well unless you go back to your backed up xml file. Also, you don't even need to delete the OEM boot anime as the system is no longer looking for it. Hope this helps, I know it was an ongoing question and I just happened to have some free time today.
Hmm, I always thought I had to change roms in order to do this. But turns out I could have done it with the stock rom. Doh!
No luck for CM7 huh?
I've been on cm7 since that post and this isn't so easy. I figured it would be easier. Lol yeah right.

CM7 BOOT SOUND MOD
I GOT IT GOING JUST A LITTLE WHILE AGO!
Hi everyone.
I am using the SalsaSense ROM. I am unable to post in that thread because I am new here, so I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me.
In the stock SMS app there is the option to delete old messages once a limit has been reached. I installed the ROM, recovered my messages, and enabled the option in the stock app with the limit set at 200. But my old messages are not being deleted. With one contact I have 7k+ messages, and since enabling the option I have sent and received several messages with them. When I had Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.6 installed beforehand, following these steps was enough to provoke it to keep my inbox in check. But not now.
Is this a problem with the ROM, or the stock app, or am I just unlucky?
I'm hoping someone here may have come across this and can help me out.
Many thanks, BurnseyBoi
I think you've been unlucky. It sounds like a ROM problem since it's beta.
You could delete them using an app like SuperSMS Delete (I think it's that).
Yeah, guess I'll just have to wait for an update to it. I had a look round the market and found the app you were referring to. Worked a charm, thanks very much! Now my phone is a bit speedier.
Yeah i noticed this, unfortunately its a problem with the ROM. I've got a lot of issues to iron out so it takes me a while to solve each one, rest assured though it will be fixed

I love this ROM! I forgot how much I missed the little Sense features and looks. My friend just got himself a Sensation, which is where I got the idea to browse around for a Sense ROM. Many thanks!

I'm trying to follow the build.prop editing suggestion, but adb doesn't list my phone under connected devices. I've tried while the phone is on, and in recovery.
Is there another way of successfully editing it?
Yeah, you can use Root Explorer from the Market. ES File explorer may work too, look in the app's settings for Root options.
Navigate to the directory with the build.prop and long press and I think there's an edit option if you use Root Explorer. Then you can just edit as you would normally via the phone.
Thanks! I already had ES File Explorer, didn't realise it had root options though.
Made both changes that JieeHD suggested, then powered it off and back on. I've never seen my phone go from power button to lock screen that fast in the 2 years I've had it! I definitely notice a speed improvement from making those changes. Everything just feels sharper and more responsive.
Many thanks!

I've tried them and can confirm they do speed things up.
Wish there was some option to use a standard notification bar, I think it would help.

I agree. I tried following the instructions in this thread but I couldn't get it to work. Has anyone else using this ROM been able to successfully do this?
This is a simple mod I made to the stock android 2.2 camera application. It binds the hardware search button to take pictures, since the phone doesn't have a hardware camera button.
I couldn't find something already to accomplish this for me and I figured others may also want a hardware button as I did.
Caveat: The stock 2.2 camera can only take up to 5MP shots or at least that's what it reports. I personally don't mind too much since it's largest use case would self portraits or when you're out with friends.
At any rate I hope it's useful.
*Update*
Okay I've updated and added a few things.
- It will now write to your actual sdcard "sdcard-ext" not the internal one
- I now have for both the 2.2.2 DX2 and the 2.3.3 DX2 for whichever your on.
- I have versions with and without notification bars. I don't like full screen in portrait personally.
I also decided to attach the stock the AOSP gallery I have been using
- This has a 2.2.2 and 2.3.3
- It also has notification bar or full screen
Please pick the proper version. NotificationBar in the name denotes that it is not full screen.
Hope you enjoy.
Very cool. Works great!

IF i wanted to go back to stock after installing this what would i do? Also why is this wanting full permissions to install? Why does it need gps loaction and to be able to look at sms messages

TL;DR Version: This wont replace stock. It uses same permissions as the regular one. I assume (GPS) geo-tag and (SMS) for tight picture message integration.
********************************************************************
-------------------------- Long Version --------------------------------------------
********************************************************************
It doesn't remove the stock because it's not the same package name. Android is designed to not let two applications of the same name (package name not display name) reside on the same system. If you try to install a second one it will assume it is an update and replace the old. This will fail because my signing key is not the same as the one on your stock camera application.
You'll have two install cases:
First on a stock android or one without a renamed camera package. This application will not replace it because it's a different package name (com.android.camera vs com.android.cameramod. It will simply run along side it.
Now if you're running this on the Droid X2 or another motoblur I believe the package is renamed on there to com.motoblur.camera or something to that effect. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
As for the permissions those are stock permissions of the AOSP camera application. You can confirm this by going into settings > applications > camera > show permissions.
I don't know them all off of the top of my head but I think (anyone feel free to correct me)
- Your messages - read SMS or MMS (for strong picture message integration ?)
- Your location - fine (GPS) location (geo-tagging pictures)
- Storage - modify/delete SD card contents (to save pictures)
- Phone Calls - read phone state and identity (prevent use while on call ?)
- Hardware controls - record audio, take pictures (it says it right under it...)
- System tools - prevent phone from sleeping (as does this one, obvious no ?)
*EDIT*
Note that it doesn't have network access. If the application was malicious and data mining you how would
it report any information back ?
Ok thanks for the clarification. I am still new to android. I also thought this was modifying the original camera app in some way not actually replacing it. Thnaks for clearing everything up.
@kc9bvi you're modifying the original camera app on the X2 ? Theme or the source ? I'm interested in the latter if you've access to it.
Isn't this just a different cam app?
I installed it and it gave me the stock android cam app when I opened it. The X2 cam app isn't perfect, but I think its better then the plain android one. Is there a way to modify the existing cam app, to make the search button take the pic?
This is not the Droid X2 camera app. It's not widescreen, there's no continual auto focus and the controls are different. It does work as it says it should, however.

Yes it opens the stock one because that's what it was built from. As for modifying the BlurCamera I have considered it and started looking into it. This can be done one of two ways, first and quite obvious if someone has the BlurCamera source I can use, second by using apktool and modifying the code in smali. To do this I need a deodexed BlurCamera.apk. I was trying to do it myself and got this error. If someone can help me with it or has a deodexed 2.2 BlurCamera.apk I can use I would like to try.
The error output is attached if anyone can help with it.

I've Noticed On Any ROM So Far That Sometimes The Stock Browser Won't Download At Times. Couple Good Browsers Free In The Market Are Skyfire And Boat Browser Mini. Good Luck.
I've updated it. Check the main post.
Thanks, I will try it on my DX2
A shame it can't push 8mp huh. But I love having it sync to the non fail gallery
A very sincere thank you to the OP for making these apps with so many options. Your work.is greatly appreciated!
I am hoping this is in the right section, since it would be dev or hacking to get what I am looking for.
I am currently using P3Droid's pre-rooted 2.3.3. Video recording on the camera is limited to 640x480.
Verizon and Motorola's sites both list "720p video recording" as a feature.
What happened to the 720p option?
Can the camera be modded to re-include this option?

When u press menu while in video or camera mode and bring up the settings u should have a choice of which video resolution u would like to use. Unless you don't have the same camera.apk that came with hour phone it may be different then. It should be there though.
Thanks for the reply, however, it is not there. I the highest resolution I have is 640x480.
It's not a problem for me alone evidently, it is listed in this issues thread as well:

The only time I lost being able to GD record((or choose it)) was when I changed my camera apk due to flashing a rom. I pushed the old camera.apk back into system app ..
And it was the camera.apk that I had saved from the prerooted gb update.
Im sorry im not ofit much help. Maybe try sbf and reflash the preroot. Im curious as to whether there might have been different versions floating around. Go mine from a link at droidforums.net I believe.
When I get done work I will see if I can send you a copy of my camera.apk to see id it helps after u push it into system/app if you would like. It would be around 8pm just check ur private messages here
I am using P3Droid's pre-rooted GB SBF. I looked over the forums over there, and cannot find any mention, but I did find mention of it in the thread above. I wonder if I can find a stock camera apk...how would I install that? I am sure it cannot be installed just by opening it.

I will see if I can get that to u on my break today.
It is REALLY easy if I have root explorer. Best app I ever paid for.
Just need to place the apk in the system/app folder and change the permission for it. I will give details later in private message.
Will it harm anything to use the Froyo camera instead of the GB? I am running 2.3.3...
Oh, and it won't let me thank you again, so thanks!

Haha thank you. I don't believe anything bad will happen from using froyo cam. Just to be safe make a nandroid backup before u do it.
Also long press the camera you have and go to change permission just to see which boxes you need checked when you put in your new camera.apk.
No issues here same rom 720p is still the default as well as being selectable,just to throw a monkey wrench into the works

Same here, not sure what OP has going on. Standard GB 2.3.3 X2.
Okay. I was trying to just upload my apk into this thread but I can't seem to choose the file using my phone. My computer isn't working. If I can get to a comp I will do it asap or if I can find another way.
Im having issues recording 720p. I can click the option, even in the pre-rooted gb update. My issue is that I can not get good quality. After 15 or so seconds the video and audio become out of sync and the video "skips" for like 50ms and sometimes longer thus causing issues when uploading to Youtube and Facebook.
Sorry for Hijacking your thread, but this was already started and I felt it was appropriate. As to your question, it sounds like you have an incorrect camera app. You MAY need to flash/inject the camera/camcorder/gallery .apks.. To my knowledge, they all opperate together, because the options work off each other. Have u froze/deleted any of those .apks?
Hello everybody,
I've just installed a new ROM on my Razr XT910 (Way Away 1.0.5) and I'm having this problem with the media gallery everytime I take a picture and click on the miniature to open it.
The error message says: "Media gallery not installed"
Anyone knows how to solve it?
Thanks in advance.
You could always install a camera app from the Play Store and use it instead. (Make sure the app has the option to save pictures on your SD)
Also, let the developer of your ROM know of this issue so he/she can prevent future users of having it.

Thanks for your help Zack, I've already ask for help with the dev, but he just didn't answer.
Can you recomend a good (I mean the best) camera app to use on my Razr?
Thanks again.
I'm not sure about the system you're using, but Motorola camera applications are related to Motorola gallery applications. If you are using Droid RAZR M camera (MotCamera.apk, with an icon like this), you must have Droid RAZR M gallery (MotGallery2.apk) in order to access pictures from camera miniatures, otherwise you will have the error you said. If you are using Droid RAZR camera (BlurCamera.apk, with an icon like this), you must have Droid RAZR gallery (MotGallery.apk).

I quit! I couldn't find the damn app for the gallery so instead I've just downloaded a third party app for the camera (Camera MX) and it's working fine right now.
Btw, this camera is really nice and quite better than stock... I'm using it as default. Thanks again for your help
You're welcome. The new camera and gallery applications are way better than the older ones and I haven't found a single bug since I first tried them, months ago, so I don't have the old files (BlurCamera.apk and MotGallery.apk) anymore, but I have the new ones (MotCamera.apk and MotGallery2.apk). You can easily replace them, just rename the old *.apk files to *.bak (if you want to back up them), push the new *.apk files to /system/app/, set permissions (-rw-r--r--) and reboot. You will then have both updated stock camera and gallery applications installed and working perfectly.
Camera is not really much different, but it's faster. Gallery is really better, completely different and awesome. And now you can access pictures with stock gallery from within camera miniatures.

Well... I'm a quite stubborn person so even with the other app working flawlessly, I did a deep search to find a way of getting my stock camera working, and that's what you said there is exactly what I did here. I've renamed the stock one to BlurCamera.apk.bak (just in case) and put the new files to the system directory with the needed permissions, and after the rebbot my gallery was working like a charm.
Thanks for the files anyway, even not using them I'm quite sure someone in the future may find it usefull when a problem like mine appear. And reading your post, people should get everything working with no issue!
