In the Ultimate Kang Bang there use to be a feature to use the power button as the camera in the camera application. Apparently from all the other roms and things i've tried, I cannot get this ability back. Is there anyway to do this hack again?

Have you tried to replace the Camera.apk with a newer one that supports the power button?
Well I found one hacked camera apk but it says it works for froyo and also my clockworkmod is too new for it, and when I try to install it from My Files in the apk instead of zip, it says it cannot install.
So basically I guess I need a link to a newer camera apk that works for gingerbread and cwm 3+
Well what ROM are you using right now? You could just download a ROM that features the power button shutter and extract the Camera.apk and put it in your own system/apps....wipe your dalvik cache and you should be able to see if it works out for you.

After loading new BulletProof v2.1.0, there was no keyboard and the personalization button (artist palette button on main screen) goes to google main page.
Since there was no keyboard popup to create messages or do searches, etc., had to download a keyboard from the Market (it just so happened there was an ad for a new Editor's Choice keyboard) so I used that to find related keyboards to download.
As well, the Personalization shortcut/button on the main screen takes me to Google.com.
Anyone else have this issue?
Thx!

The personalization button was changed to browser by default, go to the tweaks app to change it.... And maybe read the thread while you're at it

go into "tweaks" app, "sense options" and you can change what the personalization button does. always read the first page of the Rom, you would know this if you had. as for the keyboard did you do a full wipe before flashing? thats weird because im typing from that rom right now on my phone and it has the keyboard. wipe everything and reflash is all i can suggest
Keyboard was there for me. Also, the personalization button can be tweaked. Read the thread.
He didn't wipe or read I can see

UGH!
Sorry all -- Though I did read everything to a "T", I missed this:
"CUSTOM personalize button on Sense 3 launcher! (you can choose your own app! Defaults to browser)"
As for the full wipe, I followed these instructions and I didn't put two and two together:
From here you can flash your custom recovery.
Use the volume rocker buttons to move the highlight up and down the menu and highlight "Install zip from sdcard" then press the power button to select.
Now "choose zip from sdcard" then press power button again.
Highlight the downloaded custom rom or the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file and press power again. From here I think you have the idea.
Select the appropriate zip file and press the power button to install.
Now you can go back and then select "reboot system now" and let your device boot up.
Check the app drawer and make sure you have an app called SuperUser. If you have this app then you now have root.
Anyway, cheers for the help. I'll know better next time. (Since the HTC Amaze is new to me ... I originally had a Nexus S and was able to root it without any issues ... I thought HTC's method was different and I didn't want to deviate from any of the instructions.)

My sgs2 camera stopped working since i changed from GB to ICS 3 days ago. Whenever i launch the camera app the screen goes black and after 25secs a message pops up saying: "unfortunately, Camera has stopped." I'm currently using Criskelo Servan Team ICS V5 rom. Can someone give me some help to fix this problem since i cannot post on developers thread to get help from there.
thanks.
It's weired, i had the exact same problem... but somehow it got fixed by itself.
Whenever I wanted to launch the camera (either by the lockscreen shortcut or inside the app drawer) the screen turned black and after a few seconds it went back to the home screen.
I don't know why but now the camera is working perfectly.
I don't know what happened to make it work so I'm sorry I can't really help. The last thing i did to launch the camera though was through google maps. I selected a place and now you can choose "add a picture". I selected it thinking that the camera app wouldn't be able to launch again but BOOM ! it did anyway.
Before that I grabed another camera app on the store just to check if the hardware was still ok and the app worked fine.
Anyway, I have the same rom as you so I just wanted to say that the camera CAN work with this rom.
Well I tried what you did and I'm still getting the same: "Unfortunately, Camera stopped" message. So I'm back to square 1.

Have you tried another camera app from the store ?
Yes I have tried "camera ICS" which works pretty well but when you use the video recorder once you press stop button the whole phone freezes. I would try another app in a bit.

Guys, open root explorer, navigate to system/app, make sure mount is r/w not r/w in top of root explorer, click on camera apk,it will ask you if you want to replace it,click yes. Then reboot. Should working now.
Thanks 078gregory but what apk am I replacing it with? The camera ICS apk?

Hello everyone !
First of all thank you for sharing your tips and knowlegde... this is a nice community !
So I've tried to just copy it and past it in my SGS2 (after renaming the original Camera.apk) and it crashes from the beginning, always. I'm on crsikelservan ICS V5 Rom version. (XXLPQ)
Any advice ?
Thank you
You have to use "root explorer" and mount it in R/W mode.
1. go into the criskelo servan rom v5 that should be in your internal sd.
2.Open the rom folder then go into the apps folder and find the camera.apk file.
3. Extract the file, you'll then get a pop up asking if you would like to go to that folder where the camera.apk file was extracted to or stay in the current folder.
4. Select the "go to that folder" option, you would see the camera.apk there.
5. long press on the camera.apk and select the "move" option. You should be now in the parent folder after selecting that option (if not go there!).
6.From in the parent folder go into the system folder and paste the "camera.apk" file in the apps folder.
7. Pop up should appear asking if you want to overwrite the camera.apk that's there already, select overwrite.
8. Close root explorer and launch your camera, it should be working fine now.
NOTE: I did this as well to fix my Bluetooth that wasn't working as well from my Criskelo Servan Rom V5. I wasn't getting any bluetooth options when I launched my Bluetooth. After repeating the same process I used above (just replacing the Bluetooth.apk instead) I was able to get all Bluetooth options and functions.
ALSO NOTE: I give thanks to the ephraim033whose advice I used to correct my camera issue (link attached in my last post) as well as 078gregory Which without their knowledge I would not be able to solve my camera issue! SO IF THIS POST HELPED YOU HIT THE THANKS BUTTON HERE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, CHECK OUT MY LAST POST AND THANK EPHRAIM033 THAT HELPED ME BY VIEWING THE LINK THERE AND THANKING HIM AS WELL & 078GREGORY WHO POSTED PREVIOUSLY IN THIS THREAD.

I dont know how to check ROM, I have attached a pic of about my device.
That an odex ROM ? I think so. Alliance ROM or neat ROM would be a good start for you to look. Adding multi window is OK but check out these roms. A lot of work gone into making these and I think you will like them.

I get that your multiwindow is not working as expected but is it affecting your normal access to the phone? if not, then why do you have to uninstall it?
I am on a customized Kitkat ROM which supports multiwindows(i did not install any app for it, this feature was part of the ROM). If I have to use multiple windows then we have to follow below steps -
1. Open App 1.
2. Press Home screen.
3. Open App 2
4 Press Home screen
5 Long press Home screen to show recent apps.
6. Long press App 1 in recent apps section, it will open a menu to add it to multiwindow. Same can be done for App 2.
Well, thats the process on the ROM I use. I found the same thing on Mokee ROM also, which is again very famous for multiwindow feature.
Try it, it might work.

Yes its affecting on normal process like when I copy sometext its its show no valid data.. also when I clear all clipboard its gone hang and restart in display setting when I choose homepage as easy mode or basic mode setting unfortunately closed and in notification pannel sync shortcuts has been replaced as multiwindow shortcut.
I tried your method.. when I long press on apps in recent section there are only two options
1. Remove from list and 2. App info
I didn't find to add multiple window.
Remove the mod you flashed by reflashing the rom. Either flash through a custom recovery and custom rom or flash a stock rom with Odin or even mobile Odin. Just remember custom rom is a zip file to be flashed through recovery. A tar file is to be flashed through Odin.:thumbup: What you must do is read before you brick you're phone. Removing a mod is basic stuff.
