Hard time applying a camera mod - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whenever i try installing a camera mod I always end up failing. Idk what im doing wrong.
I renamed my orginal camera.apk to camera.apk.bak and moved the mod to system/app but no luck.
I tried installing the mod also while it was in the system/app and still no luck.
idk what to do. Im not sure if the camera.odex has something to do with it. Id rename it to camera.odex.bak but I cant seem to find it in system/app.
Help?
Im also on cm7 nightlies and i was trying to install potatomans camera mod

Try changing permissions on the modded apk, owner- read, write, exec group- read, write, exec others- read, write

Did you check the unknown sources box in settings>applications?

Yes sir it is checked.

After moving the apk to system/app did you reboot? You have to reboot usually for it to take effect

Yep. Tried that last night and it didnt work. Tried it just now and didn't work still.
Thanks for the ideas though.

Did you try to install the apk you moved to system/app by long pressing on it and press install? Its a last resort measure

Yep. Thanks for the advice.
Anyone know what im doing wrong?

Is the mod for a deodexed rom?

[How To] Implement Z-OC into stock ROM

BEFORE I START: ALL CREDITS TO Z FOR HIS AMAZING WORK AND FOR HIM CHOOSING TO STAY. THANK YOU Z
FOR ADVANCED USERS.
USE ROOT EXPLORER TO COPY AND PASTE OR MOVE THE FILES NEEDED AND SET PERMISSIONS
Hi Guys. I know some of you are probably wanting OC in your ROM and might not want to wait for someone to implement it in there ROM or maybe you don't want to flash a ROM but just want the OC.
Well i am going to tell you how to get Z-OC in your phone. There are some thing you will need to remember and that is that this can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.
PLEASE NOTE: I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE IF YOU TURN YOUR PHONE INTO A PAPER WEIHGT OR TURN IT INTO A BRICK FOR A REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR WALL.
Here is what to do:
You will need the files at the bottom of this post and extract them.
For permissions. O means tick, X means leave unticked.
1. Place the install-recovery.sh file in system/ect/ and set permissions to:
ooo
oxo
oxo
2. Place these 3 files: zdzihu_oc.ko/ar6000.ko/tun.ko in system/lib/modules and set the permissions to:
oox
oxx
oxx
3. Go back to the install-recovery.sh file and select it and then select execute.
4. Reboot and enjoy
PLEASE NOTE: ONLY LOOK AND CHANGE THE CPU SPEED USING CPU MASTER. DO NOT TRY CHANGIING THE CLOCK SPEED WITH OTHER CPU APPS LIKE SET CPU OR YOU WILL LOSE THE 1113MHZ SPEED AND YOU WILL NEED TO GO BACK TO INSTALL-RECOVERY.SH AND EXECUTE AGAIN.
Awesome. Thank u so much

That's what the ar6000.ko is. Don't delete the original as I have not done that and my WiFi is fine. Also I need to add this to the op but everytime you reboot the phone you need to set the CPU again.

What does invoke mean?
EDIT: just searched it and yes still add it just in case you need to. You can always try without it and let me know or just stay on the safe side and add it. If I have time in a bit I will try without it as I think that the ar6000.ko is actually something to do with CM find coz if I remember rightly the CM kernels or gingerbread kernels had the ar6000.ko WiFi module and the 2.2 or 2.1 kernels had a different one but don't quote me on that one

Correct me if I wrong, but for OC feature you need zdzihu_oc.ko only, others does nothing with OC.
Indeed, i am using terminal and insmod zdzihu_oc.ko and everything is fine...

Sent from my X10 using XDA Premium App
If it is the case only the z oc module is need then I will delete others but if I remember rightly the CM roms needed the ar6000.ko file for the WiFi to work and the tun.ko is a module for the CPU speeds to run by. Eg like CPU governer ect..... Correct me if I'm wrong but there must be reason they are there also the install-recovery.sh file has a lot of coding unlike the fps uncap one as where the one I added in this thread has a hell of a lot more also to do with the CPU governer.

I have tried to make an update zip also but if you try flashing this with a ROM with tweaks you will lose all the tweaks like with wolfs ROM. It is best to do it this way so you don't have the risk of something going wrong and also I get the same error with my zip and I used the update zip program to make it which set perms and signed and zips but still no go.

On the phone you can use a root file explorer app(available in the market) and go to system then apps and change the permissions to what he says above.

HI everyone, this is my first post here so if i ask any noobest questions, please forgive me.
Here is the issue, I downloaded the S3 apk pack from HERE and wanna install some apps to my Nexus S.

Whatever i did, it just never show up at my widget drawer..

Isn't data/app for installed .apk?
How about the .odex file?
I'm actually not to sure. But you should try it anyway just to be sure.

If the apps are simply taken from Samsung rom they will not work in any way. They need to be ported if I'm right
My own phone's Samsung apps had to be ported to work on cm7 and cm9
Hope this will help

How did you uninstall it?

Using rom toolbox. Accidetally hit uninstall instead of advanced freeze
maybe you just disabled it. go to settings > applications > all > video player > enable

Use root explorer to move the apk to system/app folder and that'll do the trick.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Hmm still a no go. I have a sprint gs3. I wonder if thats the issue?
You meed root to move it to system/app folder, is it rooted?
If its rooted then in root explorer mount as r/w using the button at the top and then paste it in to the system/app folder.
If it successfully pastes in there you should be fine.
You don't need to install and anyway it won't let you, it'll keep saying not installed but since it is in system/app folder that doesn't matter.
Just reboot after you move it to the folder.

The issue is that you also need the .odex file, i had the same thing with sms (secmms. apk + odex)
I made a zip with the maps system\app\ and the 2 files. You can install it using recovery mode.

Extracted from JJ's hybrid.
Copy into /system/app with file manager (I use ES), reboot.
It will appear in app drawer.
Or do you want some older one, from gingerbread?
That worked great, thanks guys:thumbup:

Remember if you push any apps/mods manually with root explorer to the system folders to set the right permissions.
You could end up with alot of errors otherwise.

Why we could get alot of errors when changing the file in the system when we're doing it right?
If theres an error then either we fix it or do a restoration. thats why always do BACKUP.
