[APP] Hacked Camera.apk

Hi,
--JPU version--
i modded the Camera.apk a bit.
Changes:
-take Pictures with pressing power button.
-Take pictures even if your battery is at 2%
You can apply it with my SGS Tools app or push it manually to /system or with Muspelheim (http://softdevs.wordpress.com/muspelheim/)
If you are not on JPU or newer, choose Camera_old.apk !
See the code changes here
Changelog:
Version 4:
-based on jpu
-exif data correct again
Version 3:
-focus before taking picture when using power key (not sure about it)
Version 2.
-use the power key instead of volume keys
Version 1
-initial release

Wow looks awesome, will try it! thanks

omg, i needed this last night... went to U2 concert and phone batt was too low (stupid me!!! lol).
Thanks anyway buddy, top stuff! Will give it a test run soon

Does it eliminate auto-geotagging?

Nice. Work. Testing now.

Then something went wrong, if you installed it via my app, check if busybox is installed.

Should work on all froyo firmwares, not sure about eclair.

I tried upgrade Stock Apps from SGS Tools, but nothing happens. No Change.
No point in Upgrade Stock Apps is changing my System.
Edit: Stupid. I forgot the checkbox.

You have root and busybox is installed?
Next version of the app will show if there appears errors while applying..

No everything works. Was my error, your app is working. The hacked cam is really nice.

Some suggestion for hacked gallery3d: enable autorotation at start and disable on exit.

Great work! Was searching earlier this week for an hack/app that would use the power button als capture button but could only find a very old thread about this on XDA.
Wondering why someone didn't attempted this before, it seems so natural. Samsung should have made this the default behavior in the first place, locking the camera with the power button caused pain when I accidentally pressed it the first time I got my SGS and it wouldn't respond..

Indeed it would. Either making it a selectable option or disabling it altogether is fine by me.
Nice work, btw.

Why can't Sense Roms control softkey backlights...

while cm7 and other AOSP roms can, either directly, in display brightness settings, or through apps (screen filter, Moon + reader etc)? The same apps don't work with the softkeys in sense.
Am currently on cm7, mainly because of the darn softkeys blinding me while reading or watching vids.
And is there a camera app for cm7 that does auto focus, like the HTC camera app? And how about internet pass-through?
It seems I need a combination of both types of Roms!

Have you tried the Miui Camera? I was using it with CM7. It's pretty nice, has Autofocus as well as Antishake.
It can be installed as a system app and replace the stock camera (rename the apk to camera, and place in the system app folder and change the permissions. or just install as a stand alone app. I chose to replace my stock camera.
If you have any issues, let me know.

Thanks!
I'll give this app a try!

Mine must be broken because they are hardly blinding.

I just installed it! First time I had a chance to use the barcode scanner.
Nice app! Is there a way to zoom in using video? And can I use the front camera with it? I haven't found an option for that, so far.

I don't know of any way to zoom on the video.
I have the front facing camera option on the left hand side of the screen near the top. It has a camera with arrows around it. I'm not sure if it is on the version I linked though. I've switched back to the Miui rom and using the lastest version 1.9.9 which has the front facing camera option (works for both camera and video)... I can try and pull the apk and see what happens if I flash it to CM7 later...

Thanks! I would appreciate this very much!
PS: I'm still hoping someone can explain why there is no control over the softkey lights in sense roms.
For example, screen filter and Moon + reader can both turn them off using AOSP roms, but the same apps cannot in Sense roms.
Is this something that is easy to add and nobody else wants this function, or is there something in the sense roms making it hard to incorporate?

Tried flashing the camera from the latest Miui build (1.9.9) in CM 7... no luck, just force closes.
I'm sure there may be someone out there that knows what needs to be modded to make it work. I wish I did...
I'll enclose the apk if anyone wants to try to mess with it.

Thanks a million for trying, Don!

No problem. Good luck on the backlighting.
I enjoy being able to kill mine when reading books. It's a nice feature to have. Crazy that on the sense based roms that dimming the display doesn't effect the soft key back lighting like it does on the Aosp roms Crazy..

The Fixed2 version doesn't have FFC support. There is also a TEST1 version which has enabled the FFC for some. The link in my signature will take you to the post about Fixed2 but it also links to TEST1. I'm currently working on the version from 1.9.2 so if you want to try it out, PM and I'll give you the download link. The only reason I'm not just posting for everybody right now is so people on various devices/roms give feedback about what needs fixed and tweaked.
As far as why we can't take the app right from MIUI and have it work is because it's dependent on pieces of the MIUI framework. Basically, to make it work the apk needs to be decoded and have some of the framework added to it. Would be a lot easier if MIUI was open source.

I'll probably flash this ROM as a DD when it has 3G or real HW acceleration working, whichever comes first GJ so far though, I'll probably give it a whirl to see how it is later tonight, compare it to the port maybe in terms of speed and such

First off, here's how I flashed:
1. Superwipe
2. Flashed Rom
3. Flashed Odie kernel
4. Flashed gapps
5. fixed permissions
It booted really fast and looks absolutely clean. I immediately connected to data, but not wifi - even though the connection is strong here. My data says 3G, but could be HSPA, and I jumped on the browser just to double check. It worked.
Things I noticed:
Scrolling is choppy, but I know that's easily fixed.
The market would not download (as expected), so I ran the fix via adb. When I tried Market again, it froze the phone and I had to do a battery pull.
The home button is not working so well. Takes 3-4 pushes to get it to work, it's easier to just to use the back button.
Didn't get a chance to look at much else after the phone froze.
I really appreciate you posting this up. I know you've been working hard and probably waiting for something that can be played with, and you got that here. Thanks again, I 'll post more impressions in a bit.

I'd suggest installing setCPU or something similar to check those lockups, as there was a known(ish) issue in the port with Odie's kernel clocking too low (at 122 mhz) so if you could bump that up and also see what the upper end is? I'll probably do it myself eventually, and since I'm super lazy ill just pack the apks for titanium and setCPU into the app folder of the ROM itself and give it a whirl haha

My wifi works but the icon doesn't show up so its as if I have no connection. My home button is also bugged.
Edit: Also the gallery apo doesn't work and the messaging app seems to be missing

Rom runs good for an alpha
- The Homebutton ( i know this is known ) but it seems like its reacting like a back buttons sometimes.
- I often get a red border when tapping next in a menu or install in the market.
- SDcard works but no mass storage on pc
Edit 2: the : and ; are not located at the fn button but at the shift button.
So far i already like this better then de Desire S port
Edit: I have no messaging app, anybody else who hasn't?
Edit 3: I tried buttonremapper to try and remap the home button but no luck

Your home button was acting like a back button? Mine was just being unresponsive until about the third press. Interesting.
aside from that, did you notice if your handset got warm while running this rom? Mine did, and I forgot to mention it in my post.

No not having problems with it being to warm. Running it now since my post and still no problems except the usuals.
And about the homebutton, it also looks app related. For example in whatsapp it just does nothing, but in the browser it reacts as a back button.
Seems like someone in the desire s port thread fixed the home button. But i found something new with the hw kayboard. Capital d doesn't work.

[Q] ScreenShot App For Deck's ICS Alpha?

So I just installed Deck's Alpha8 of ICS, and wow is it Phenomenal. One question though, I have downloaded like different screenshot apps and all of them have foreclosed or not even started, does anyone know of one that will work, really want to get some nice Screenshots of this awesome alpha build.

You can turn on USB debugging and use one of the tools in the android SDK. Can't remember what It's called but it starts with a d. Google "how to take a screenshot with android SDK."
Edit: once you have the SDK. It's in the tools folder. It's called DDMS.exe
my evo is aggressively runny

sweet i didnt know i could do that, will definetly help for when i get out of work and at home to a real computer
any other way to do this from just the handset?

Power and Home button at same time might work..Depends on phone and Rom if its "baked" in.

Just hold down the power button and an option for taking a screen shot will be there. I think it saves under the DCIM folder, but don't quote me on that.

It's actually ddms.bat. I wasnt at a computer when i told you before. just needed to clarify.

[Q] Gingerbread Vs. ICS Camera

Hey fellow 4G Touch Users ... So I tried an ICS build last night( Thanks to Phantom and the awesome Blazer ROM ), one thing I noticed is that the ICS camera is vastly better at focusing than the Gingerbread version of the stock camera.
I attribute this mostly to the fact that you have touch to focus on the main screen of the ICS camera, once I touched to focus on ICS it would lock the focus and take the picture as is.
In Gingerbread I don't see the ability to touch to focus like this, please someone correct me if I'm wrong or missing something. When I take a photo in Gingerbreads Stock Camera, it seems to re-focus then take the picture, which, most times, will leave the photo out of focus..... Personally I -hate- this.
With such a great camera hardware wise, does anyone know if there is a way to enable this feature, or get an app that does this? I've used Camera FX, but the options I see for focus that even comes close is fixed, which doesn't seem to be good at all.

It should be set automatically to tap to focus. I have mine set to auto focus and it still can tap to focus.. If anything try to uninstall and reinstall the app. Or you might have reflash the Rom. The Rom might have tweaked the camera
