But I have not had any luck installing.
I have Placed it in the folder of the Stock apk and changed that ext to .bak
Cleared cache
Changed permissions
Restarted phone
and tried to simply install it. But to no avail.
S6 rooted with the stock unikernel

There are other folders in that folder. I'm sure that we need the accessory files that are in them. Someone else mentioned that they have ported the Note5 Rom to the S6, which would be another way to get the new camera. I may have to try that.

My S6 SamsungCamera4 folder has a folder in it named arm64. That folder contains two files. The first is SamsungCamera4.odex and the second is SamsungCamera4.odex.art.xz
Hope that helps

hmm this is odex ROm im on Deodexed one so i dont have these files... i'll check
thanks man

Sure! I am on Stock.

Yeah hopefully someone figures out a way soon.
I tried pushing the camera from the note 5 dump and from that new note 5 port for the s6, keeps FCing

Been messing with it for a while and finally had it open for a second before fc-ing! But then it forces closed after I reinstall the stock apk! Doh! Gonna wipe the cache and if that doesn't work, I'll have to reinstall the whole Rom!
Additional! I had to factory reset it to get the stock camera working again! haven't had to do that in awhile!

I'm not saying that Omega rom doesn't have the gallery app at all. In my case I can't find it in the /system/apps/ folder. It must've gotten deleted somehow. It'll be of great help if you could upload yours or provide a link from where I can download the app.

Yeah thanks for the tip!..I forgot I could extract it from the zip I downloaded..
Its weird that the app disappeared from system folder as well.. Anyway thanks a ton!
i wasn't saying you lied...
i said you should get the downloaded omega file, open it (pc\phone doesn't matter) and extract only the SecGallery2_Galaxy.apk located at system\app\ inside the omega zip and than copy it to your /system/app and make sure permissions are the same as all the other apk's in this folder.
make sure you mount r/w on so you can copy the file.

Force closes in system after updating one file in framework-res

Hi
I have this problem with my friends galaxy ace GT-S5839i:
I need someone to help me here because I don't know what to do
I pulled the file framework-res.apk from system and then changed the extension to zip, and changed an image inside one of the folders.
After that I zipped the pack again (tried several zip options) and changed the extension back to apk
My first question: Is this ok?
I copied the changed file to sdcard and using es explorer moved the file to system/framework. Imediately After answering if I wanted to overwrite the phone freezes and never booted again.
I restored the rom and tried several times with same result
I tought the problem would be trying to overwrite a file that's in use but then I found a tool the decompiled the original apk, changed the image, compiled and signed it and made a flashable zip of it.
It gsve always error in trying to flash this on recovery so I extrated the compiled and signed new framwork apk and moved it to system with es explorer... The difference now is that it didn't froze the phone but started to show fc's everywhere. Rebooted, wipede cash and dalvik, messed up woth permissions... Everything I could think of and the result os always tbe same...
Please can amyone share a light here?
Thanks

Edit: Nothing I found there worked...
The only solution was install a different rom (previously had a stock rooted 2.3.6) v4.1
Changed the framework file from the rom and flashed it...
Its working now but still don't know why the previous actions didn't work

Ok so now your phone is working right ?
So now download Root browser from playstore
Then open it and now go to device /system/Apps / here now find Camera.apk and delete it after that go back to your sd card copy camera.apk and move it to again above location and set permissions on it , they must be look like RW-R-R
Thats it your done.

Yes, its working now. If it's not too much can you provide some links for that -rw-r-r ? Coz what i find is rwxr-x, and also your talking about permissions (Do i need to tick the check box of Read,Write,Execute on Owner lane?)
I apologize for asking too much questions, thank you for understanding

But sad to say it's still not working and saying error message. What should i do next? Did i do something wrong?

First delete old one and do one reboot and then check wether it gets deleted or not , then copy the another camera.apk which you have to system/apps and set permissions on it after doing again reboot your phone than see wether the camera.apk is there or not and check it .

[Q] Need stock media_profiles.xml file

Could somebody provide me with the default "media_profiles.xml" from their /system/etc path? I did something and now things aren't working well.. I was also stupid and forgot to back up my original.
I believe
Code:
adb push media_profiles.xml /system/etc
should work on restoring the file once I have it, right?
Also, on an "unrelated" note, the camera mod from THIS thread doesn't work on our phones.
Here ya go https://www.dropbox.com/s/j0dcrpin5maxwoh/media_profiles.xml
Thanks for the file but it's a no go. I can't replace the file or access any apps anymore. My phone is basically dead.

FM Radio in SM-A530W working!

Yes that is right. I poked around looking for a while until I came across a couple of files that looked good. Yeah I know...
All I did was take from the a530f the /system/etc/permissions/privapp-permissions-com.sec.android.app.fm.xml file and put it into my own directory along with the hybrid radio folder and apk in the system/priv-app/ directory. I set permissions accordingly, rebooted and that's it. Files are zipped and ready. Just set permissions right. I don't even know how to push/pull files exactly so if you're rooted then it's an easy deal.
Oh I used fx file explorer. I also hit "symlink" when I copied the folder with the apk. So just reboot and there was the app ready to go.
Enjoy, Canada! Should work generally the same on Samsung devices I would think. No expert but seems like it should.
Screenshot
Forgot the screenshots and specifics.
1) Download FX File Explorer from playstore (7 day trial and download the root add-on).
2) Put the .xml file in /system/etc/permissions/ and set permission rx- r- r- (you'll have to mount it I believe).
3) Put the folder with apk into /system/priv-app/ directory and I hit "symlink" only. Probably just sets permissions. Reboot and that's it.
*deleted*
the folder in /system/priv-app/ should be rwx r-x r-x and the apk contained within it should be rw- r-- r--
The xml in /system/etc/permissions/ is rw- r-- r--
ALL A530W ON CUSTOM ROMS: you don't have to do this because the rom already has fm radio
Yeah i thought so... that's why i thought i put in the apk twice. NOOB!
So just the .xml file then, correct?
I had no idea it was that easy. Cannot figure out how or why i never saw that in any searches.
So really apart from a few apk's, Samsung just magically omitted the files from Canadian W's.
Unreal. Even more unreal is this "locked chip" talk when really it is just not given access from 6 lines of text.
Unless you can point me to other examples, i am going to sort through other device ROMS and post .xml's for easy access. If it is similar for other Galaxy phones.

So you're saying in order to use the FM radio apk I need to install the SM-A530F ROM?
I think it's better to add the xml instead of flashing an F rom. I know they're the same but if you can grab any firmware from sammobile, flash and no modding I'd love to know about this!

I mean IF any a530w has an a530f rom installed already, they do not need to do this because apk and xmls already exist by default from the rom.
and I mean custom roms, NOT official. (so basically every rom available for this device because a lot of developers aren't from Canada)
(and I think official rom from a530f has fm radio too, I never tried flashing official a530f rom )
I have Lightrom on my phone, and it's for a8 and a8+ but the thread is in a8+ forums so check there if you want it
Oh ok yeah for sure. I didn't think any ROMS wwre available.
BUT... for anyone that has an A8 in Canada that has root and likes their current set up (do we ever stop)? Then this is an easy addition.
I used hades A8 port when i had my A5 and i think i got spoiled. I shall go download and flash away now...
Thanks. Gonna peek into the S9 and see if it's the same as well. (Out of curiousity).
Well, after 30 minutes, then 20, I'm done staring at SAMSUNG Galaxy A8 POWERED BY android.
Tell me the secret about installing an F rom onto a W. Not "they're the same." How?

finally got it working
i tried on 3 different roms with no luck. finally i got it working on the floydport rom. no xml needed. i had to put the hybrid radio folder and apk into system/apps after mounting read write, then installed with the root installer built in fx explorer, rebooted and now i have working radio. for some reason every time i put them in the priv-apps folder they dissapear on reboot. just posting in case someone else is having problems. thanks for the apk!!
Yes the floyd rom had a file in peemissions already.
When i was doing it i probably did not do it right.
But i was successful at it again after going to stock after January's update.
I used fx and navigate to areas i needed and unlock the mount lock up top along the way and back out unmounting.
If you did floyd, then do the treble rom and not only is it a decent rom on its own and able to switch images easily, it has radio already there.

Do the treble!
Worked for me, thanks!
Any luck to perform this on a non rooted stock firmware? May with adb or another thing?
That's a good question. You would need to push just two files. If you had an A8 when released up until a certain point you'd only need to push the .xml
They never even bothered removing the apk.
So, since i am rooted with treble on a device without official treble support from Samsung, and a modified version of one ui, maybe you should try. I think it's a bit easier if you go first.
Is there a simple way to get the FM radio working like you said by just copying a file to a folder? I'm kind of a newbie at this and was wondering if anyone would consider writing the "how to" for this procedure that someone like me could understand. Just a simple step by step 1 2 3 on where to get the fm file and app and how to copy them in the A520W folders to make that FM tuner work. I was a little shocked Canadian carriers would even consider omitting the radio purely based on their greed......... ok, I wasn't really shocked, it's pretty much the norm up here.
