Camera issue [ROOT] - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

Some days ago i had my phone rooted and i installed xposed framework. My camera stopped working ( it opens and then shuts down). I am trying to install SemcCameraUI but i need the stock camera app first. Can somebody send me the stock camera app or atleast to tell me what to do next? I'd appreciate it.

i have the problem too at first,then i tried to :
1)clear camera cache and data in the setting>apps
2)go to semccameraui folder via root explorer and delete the camera apk only
3)reboot and install the camera unlocked v4
and it work

Request for some apps file

Hi guys,
I have recently make a wrong decision with my Gs2. I tried to use Titanium backup to change All Sharing and Social Hub as a User Application. And that result in these apps disappear from my phone. I tired to put the dlna.apk and social-hub.apk back to the "system/app" while nth new come back after a reboot. I think that's because i miss the odex file related to the apps. As I am using Offical Hong Kong Rom KG2, would somebody like to help me by uploading those files [dlna, social hub apk&odex]
Thanks

Thx for your help.
I have tried this list and put those apk in to system/app, yet the program have not come back even after a reboot.....
I use Root Explorer for installing .apk files.
Can you not download Social Hub and DNLA via Samsung Apps?

I got those APKs from the list you have posted.
And install them by using root explorer
My way to install is to move from sdcard to "/system/app"
I even changed the permission of the apks but still they don come back
thanks!

I never move them before installing - just put them on internal SD and install from there. Try it?

Try applications>manage applications>clear cache and maybe clear data for those apps if they are there.
Otherwise I'm out of ideas...

Good luck. Don't suppose you've got a full backup via CWM or you'd have reflashed it, right?

I don't think you can install system files with root explorer, you need to flash it through recovery. I was having the same problem and flashing worked for me.

You just push them to the /system/app/ folder and reboot - that's all a recovery zip would do.
Thx Guys!!!!
My finally method was reflash the official rom..... that nearlly kill me as i have to reorder the application icon which take me an hour to finish that....
I don know how to use the recovery method but hope this post would help others who face the same problems.
Btw is there any apps to backup the order of icon in Application page? Rearranging them again is damn horrible if u got tons of apps......

[Q] Xperia P Official JB Camera App

Hi, first I want to excuse if I don't post it where I should.
I recently installed CyberShot 4.7 on my Xperia P and I don't like it. It contains many bugs and I can't record videos. I wonder if anyone can post the official jellybean camera from xperia p. i have a backup but when I open the app, it force closes.
Thanks!
Wrong topic !!
Restore your back up and clear the data of camera in settings/apps/all !!

Judging by the content of the MOD zip file you cannot just replace the camera itself, there are a lot of other files related to it, but I've uploaded them anyway

Like I've said, it's probably not that easy, there are a lot of other binary/java files involved.
Do you have stock firmware or a MOD, stock kernel or custom?

If you have the FW ftf maybe you can try flashing system.sin only.
I think you should wipe dalvik cache before you do, perhaps cache too.
Of course you will lose root and CWM.
If that doesn't work you may need to re-flash the whole firmware.
Be sure to backup all your data before you attempt to do it, if you do.

I use stock ROM and kernel, removed all apps I don't use, disabled some that cannot be removed and froze some that cannot be disabled.
Removed all apps that came with stock, freezed a few and installed some scripts to save battery that's about it
I dont have P and JB, i have U with ICS but some time ago i wanted to uninstall Cybershot 4.72 without re-flashing everything so i made an Cybershot v4.72 uninstall script that removed every file from Cybershot 4.72, and then i restored the original files for my stock camera and everything worked fine without re-flashing...
I will attach my uninstall script (cwm flashable on ICS Xperia U) but i don't know if there is a separate v4.72 for JB or its the same as for ICS, so... that's your home-work, im just giving you an direction

Hello again,
Firstly look into general / development section for ftfs! Make sure you pick up a generic version according to your phone model!
Secondly , use the guide mentioned by a user above to flash ftf file.
Only backup user apps in titanium back !
Go to titanium ,then options , then clear dalvik! See if that helps!
Also remove thumbnails folder in DCIM from your phone using a file explorer.
You can also use SD maid from Google play store to clear cache / unnecessary files by corpsefinder and systemcleaner in SD maid menu. This will automatically remove thumbnails cache!
Good luck

flashing ftf will be my last option so first i am done with backups (userapps, contacts logs calender).
I tried SD Maid but asking for Superuser permision, so should i grant or deny?

Either be fine !
Sus will do it officially with latest firmware of your region only while flashtool with give you more control over which ftf to flash/version/components !
My signature means, if you want a guide that's not available or think it could be rewritten, pm me!m in case of a query, just mention/quote me!

[Request] Stock kitkat apps

I'm looking for these 3 apps extracted from official stock kitkat ROM.
Calculator
Flashlight
Voice Recorder
I lost them after unlocking bootloader. Thank you
Not sure why you would lose any system apps after unlocking the bootloader, mine did not do that... but you can try to download the stock rom and just copy those apps from the zip file into your system (and fix permissions) or you can try to factory reset after you unlocked the bootloader...

I seem to recall (can't remember the thread) that several apps did stop working when the devices were unlocked. It may have depended on the variant of the M7 that was being unlocked.
I already restored apps from stock rom OTA. This thread should be closed.

Ok so long story short i downgraded to 4.3 rooted then OTA updated to 4.4 (using survival mode with supersu to keep root permissions)
installed romtoolbox to uninstall the crap but it wont remove the bloatware.... i dont know why flashtool says i have root access and roomtoolbox gets su permissions.... so i dont know what is wrong??
any help would be splendid!
Are you sure this is the correct section

Try and create a file in /system

That means you cant write to the system partition (delete need write permission).
I'm pretty sure someone posted a fix, do a search.

You only need root on your phone, then run the recovery installer on your pc and it'll do the rest of the work. ADB drivers must be installed don't forget that. instructions and download here, read them carefully and you should have write access in no time.
