I haven't used the stock or xcam camera apps for several days. I make android backups frequently (3 or 4 times a week) but don't keep more than the last 3. I am running Jasmine 4.0 as my DD with SkyDragon 2.7.4.1 kernel. This DD worked perfectly for me, camera included, for several days .
I have done lots of everyday experimenting type stuff but always returned to my Jasmine DD. Last night I wanted to use the camera and it is broken. It is broken on my last surviving nandroid. I don't have a clue what messed it up. If I install Jasmine 4.0 clean the camera works. But it takes a lot of time to get the heavily modded system back to the way I want it if I have to start over.
I have tried refreshing the LG apps and "other" apps from the Jasmine OP but it didn't correct the problem. I also noticed that I can't get the torch to work. I use lightflow but tried freezing it and rebooting and the problem remains. Before I give up and have to start from scratch again, does anyone have any suggestion as to what else to try? Thanks -
If you have the Xcam in your download folder. Just uninstall the Xcam and then move the Xcam to system app, fix permission, install from there and reboot.
Thanks for quick reply but I didn't have xcam in d/l folder.
Sorry, wasn't finished...
I uninstalled xcam and rebooted - cam app still messed up. I click on cam icon and get black screen with the "back" icon in lower left corner. I haven't changed anything camera related for weeks. I have installed LG apps from Jasmine OP but do not see com.LG.cam in link2sd app. I'm stumped.
Did you move the Xcam app to system app, change permission, installed in system app?
I uninstalled the xcam app. The native cam app is still hosed. Am I missing something? Probably so....

Maybe something broke the camera app, did you try flashing a rom or a backup with a working camera app, pull the .apk from it, flash your backup your having trouble with and re-install the apk? just a thought....
I wound up throwing in the towel and flashed SkyDragon 2.0.1 and am loving it. I tried everything I could think of after doing what android-incredible suggested and still had no camera. Clean flashing a ROM was my final choice but glad I did. Camera is back.

I think iI may have broke my Android Market!
Can still access the Market, but when I try and download an app, its shows the downloading progress bar and then just does nothing. It worked before.
I have been zapping a load of apps recently using Titanium Backup, could that have broke my downloading abilities?
Got a feeling it may be some of the google apps I removed, like google talk, even though I never use them.
Could anyone point me in the right direction to the x10 mini 2.1 stock app .apks?
Much appreciated
Maybe it's what you done with Titanium backup.
Try this first :
Go to Settings -> Applications -> "Menu" button -> Select "All". Then search Android market, clic on, and now clic on "Force stop" first, then "Wipe cache" and "Wipe data" ! Then reboot your phone and check if it's working
If it don't work, reflash your phone using SEUS !

This should be stickied but NEVER, EVER, EVER freeze, delete or even look at any of the Google Apps (any of the apps that say "Google..."), those apps are necessary in order for the system to work correctly, so by removing Google Talk you basically broke your Market.
Just restore a backup (if you have one), reflash the Google Apps or reflash your entire ROM, because I don't think there's a way to reinstall Google Talk.
Okay, looks like I'll have to start from scratch again then.
If I reinstall Android using the sony software, I take it I will lose all apps and root?
I think in future I'll avoid removing bloatware
Yeah, flashing the Sony ROM will wipe your phone clean, but hey it's not that hard to root and flash a custom ROM, just look around for tutorials and you'll be good to go
Was looking at the minicm6 rom, but can't really see the pro's outweighing the con's on using a custom rom. From what I understand, some things like camera and wireless are buggy.
Think I'll stick to the official 'stable' 2.1

Actually, MiniCM6 1.0.0 is pretty much stock ROM stable and has all the functionality of it, I use it every day and it works perfectly, what you have to weigh in the pro/cons is MiniCM7 as the Camera is still stuck on 640x480 instead of 5MP.
Right, flashed minicm6 rom, loaded and run okay, but just didn't like it.
Flashed back to stock 2.1 using sony software, everything back to normal, marking downloading again
On;y thing now is when I plug my phone into computer, it doesn't give the option to install pc companion anymore, just charge or connect. Not that I'm really too bothered though...
Well I flashed RC1 and "market" automatically started installing/updating certain apps including superuser. Well I forgot to update the su binary first and when I tried it would get stuck on the "checking current version" stage so I rebooted my phone and opened superuser again and it worked. Successfully updated binary after su app updated. Right on.. Time to restore my data/apps via Titanium Backup Pro... Done. Okay so I figure all is okay until I go to go somewhere that I need to use my GPS.....Then I noticed navigation is gone....so is maps...YouTube...."Google Play" is the only Google app on my phone... If I try to DL any missing Google apps from Play Store, it just hangs and will not download. Also yes I am 100% positive that I flashed the gapps zip after the update. I've tried out virtually every ROM for this phone multiple times so I have enough experience not to mess something so simple up. Plus, I've flashed CM7 on my X2 like 50 times & have the install instructions memorized and yes I know they slightly changed for RC1...
Anyways...
My question is do I need to do a full wipe and start fresh? (Sbf 2.3.4/Reinstall CM) Can I just flash gapps zip again? If I do will I have to wipe big 3 or nothing at all?....How did this happen lol? Was it because I updated su app then rebooted & updated binary after?? Was it maybe because I tried to restore all apps including gapps via TBPro?? I forgot to uncheck them and just ran the whole batch operation.
I would have posted in DZKs topic but I can't post in android development.
I would just try to go for it and flash the gapps zip again, but I'm not home anymore and won't be again for probably a week at the least. Not comfortable doing it if I get something wrong. No phone for a week is no good!! Lol sorry for the long post any help or general insight is greatly welcomed

Nevermind....Phone started acting real laggy and buggy once I got down to around 20% battery life. I plugged in my phone and rebooted it. All Google apps are back now however they showed up in random order in my app drawer. Instead of being alphabetical like it usually is, it's completely random. XDA is on page 2 and easy tether is on the last page, lol
Edit: just had to re-sort apps by alphabetical order under go launcher app drawer settings. All okay now

Same apps were missing for me after I did a batch install in TB. I looked in Backup/Restore selection, second on top in the main TB screen and found them at the very bottom as uninstalled. I just selected them there and restored app plus data. My wifi is still iffy and I get a lot of process system force close notifications that dont seem to do harm when I click force close or 'wait'. I do get more FC on RC1. I can't remember if you talked about that last half in your thread. Since I'm typing on my phone I don't feel like going back to check so yyyaaaaa
Hmmm. In RC1 I get 2 force closes right off the bat as soon as it boots up. Says Process DPS Manager has crashed. I hit force close and another one pops up. force close that one as well and I'm all set. Don't usually get any more FC's. Only other thing is I can't get Opera browser to work on this ROM. It boots up and says opera then it just closes. No FC or anything. Oh well back to dolphin HD. Rebooting nor clearing apps data will get opera to work for me which I find weird because I was actually using it the day I flashed rc1. Hasn't worked since
Hahaha had to edit....soon as I posted this the XDA app FC'd

Hi, I've installed the Lenovo super cam on my XZU, but it seems like it replaced the stock camera and now it's gone. I already deleted the Lenovo camera, but the stock never showed up.
I've been looking this forums for the stock camera, but seems like they are hundreds of camera apps but the stock one. Any idea how to get it back? Or where to get a copy of the original one? Besides a complete wipe, because I've just format and reinstall all my apps, and I don't want to do it again.
Thanks in advance.

Not the answer you want, but the stock camera is crap. try "a better camera".
You should be able to keep all the installed apps/data by flashing the latest FTF and make sure that the wipe data option is not selected

try Google official camera app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
or
camera zoom fx - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom
Hit THANKS if I helped
Hi, Thanks for your sugestions
I started to looking for ways to get it back, until I remember That I can uninstall updates, and so I did. Uninstalled the camera updates and voila .
Actually the camera isnt That bad, specially when you install the Z2 addons, and use the Cybershot module of Xposed Framework, wich allow to Take photos in full res.
I've used the other cameras, but to Take pictures with pacient, for quick shots of random thingslile wire sets, diagrams and That kind of pics , the stock camera is ok.
I'm trying to figure out how to change the default camera app that opens, from stock camera to Google Camera when entering from the stock lockscreen. I am on @muniz_ri's stock Lollipop ROM (non-MDK version).
On Kit Kat, a default app-picker dialogue box would appear and I could choose which camera app I wanted to default to. Apparently, Samsung decided it would be better to force feed us their camera app.
I tried: Opening Contacts> add contact picture> take picture> choosing stock camera, then: Task Manager> clear defaults> clear camera from list...to no avail.
Anyone know of a way to achieve this?
If you want to, you could try this.
Backup first.
Try renaming the Samsung camera apk to.bak , then rename the Google camera to the original Samsung apk name, reboot, and give it a try.
If things blow up, revert renaming, or restore backup if necessary.

I thought about doing that. But I haven't flashed the deodexed version, and the stock camera is odexed, while Google Camera isn't. I'm afraid that might present a bit of an issue. And also, Touchwiz's camera has deep ties into the kernel.

Hello, Thanks for all your help so far in rooting my Padfone X Mini. It's been incredibly useful in removing extra bloat and speeding up my device. Unfortunately I went just too far and deleted an app that I needed. I'm wondering if anyone can supply me with a copy of the APK for the ASUS Splendid app. It looks like the version I was using was 1.1.0.140618. I've tried some of the other downloads I've found of newer versions and they just crash every time I try to do anything. I rather liked the reading mode, but just wasn't paying attention when I got uninstall trigger happy.
Thanks in advance!

Click on the Dropbox link.
Thanks!
Tried installing it. Even copied it to /system/apps and installed from there. No matter what I do, it always crashes when I try to enable reading mode via the drop down quick settings.

You may just be best off using one of the ROM backups and starting over. I've learned to freeze an app first with titanium and then delete if no problems arise.
Well, I ended up just wiping it, installing a fresh factory ROM (since the stripped version had it missing as well) and re-removing the system app bloatware. I did it a little more carefully this time, using TB to freeze them first to check for problems. This time I'm good to go. Several apps already installed and more than a GB left. Finally this phone is usable.
