Anyone guide me on pushing this apk out instructions on how to get this over...i tried renaming the apk to Camera.apk and using root explorer and moving file to system/app but didn't work... Thanks!

You can use adb to pull the apk from the system, or use root explorer to copy it to the sd card, then rename it to Camera [already.apk] Then rename/delete the CM7 camera.apk. and use root explorer to copy the new one to the system app folder.

Found out had to change permissions on the file but now that it sees the new apk it just force closes when try to open.

Do you have both apps or just the one?

It just showed the one

You may want to just update the rom, unless there's some reason you're sticking with an older version. I'm on 1.5.20, FFC on the MIUI camera (not sure of the app version). MIUI is kind of like Sense in that so much of the rom-specific apps are tied into the framework, and more than the apk has to be changed to make it work... if it can be made to work. A lot of changes have been made to the ui in the last few months.
Also, the MIUI camera is named miuicamera.apk, so you may want to try that. Also try the MIUI thread or the miui-us forums. I thought I saw a flashable zip of the new camera for people on older versions, but it could be wishful thinking on your behalf.
What version are you running, and are you against updating? You can always nandroid, flash, and then restore if you don't like it.

Roms & APKS

Not sure if this info has been posted anywhere. So, I would like to know if there is any way to install APKs from a different rom onto current rom. I am currently running IncRom 1.2, but I have never been a fan of Sense dialers. I would like to install either MIUI dialer or any 2.3 based dialer. Is it possible, and if so, how would I go about doing that? Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
Just download whatever rom you want the apk from and put it onto your new rom? I hope that makes sense as I can't think of a better way to explain ...

I get what you're saying and I've tried that before, but then I always get force closes on phone app. What I've done before is grab apk from 2nd rom, place it in place of apk in current rom. I've tried zipping after that, and not zipping the file. After trying both ways, I reinstall rom, then run into the force close issue. Do I need to reinstall Rom after that? Or am I not even doing this the right way?
You need to fix the permission after you put it into your rom. I use root explorer and its two boxes for the first row then one for the other two.

Sounds good. Will try fixing permissions. Will report back on results. BTW, thanks for the help so far.
I don't think it is possible because the phone apk is tied into the framework. Please correct me if I'm wrong

I fixed permissions, removed current phone.apk and replaced it with the fixed phone.apk. I rezipped rom and reinstalled. Once it was up and running I was right back where I started with the original phone.apk, minus the fc's.

I know this works with the music.apk as I've done it in the past just replacing the stock app with the gingerbread music app and it worked just fine after setting permissions. But now that I think about it more I think I also had to install it just like a regualr app to get all the files in place then set permissions not just replace the file in the system/app folder.
The phone apk ties into other programs. It is not a stand alone flash. There would need to be some code changes to make it work.
Seems like too much work for me. Appreciate the ideas & help you guys offered.

Check out incredibly re-engineered...
Aosp dialer will probably not work on a Sense based roms as Sense is a UI overlayed and pretty deeply integrated into the Android os. You may want to consider one of the dialer options from market...Dialer one is popular. Or you may just want to consider moving to an aosp rom.

I have been trying to install reengineered but ever since I updated clockworkmod I can't. That's besides the point. I have used a few aosp roms but miss out on Sense. Guess I have my cake, but can't eat it. Oh well.

Who are you asking? I never uninstalled stock messaging so I'm not sure who you are directing that towards. This was my first attempt at trying to move apks around so I don't have enough info.

Anyone have the EVO camera file that I can flash through clockwork?

I found an old thread with it, but the download doesn't work anymore.
Rom manager, virtuous extra goodies section.

Tried that and didn't work. Shows everything went through good, but still incredible camera.
Should be alternate or main camera toggle. It does work.

I've tried it 3 times and can't find it anywhere after I flash it.
I don't see that you responded to my post in your other camera thread, but here's a piece of it that may be relevant:

What version of recovery are you using? Have you tried manually booting to recovery and flashing rather than going through RM?
I ask these questions because it's possible that you are running a new version of recovery 3.x and trying to use the old update script. If you try it manually then you'll be able to see if it is failing to update (going through RM will just reboot and you won't realize it failed).

Here's an old zip from Virtuous:
http://files.virtuousrom.com/inc/extras/virtuous-install_evo_camera.zip
If you can't successfully flash, extract the apk from the zip and use root explorer to copy it to system/apps
Then just make sure to set the permissions properly on the file and reboot - that should do it

Thanks! I'll try that.
I have it. do you want it for an EVO based rom or Incredible framework, on a ROM like SkyRaider which is 100% incredible framework the EVO camera will work.. but it makes it so you can't send MMS msg...
I'm running virtuous so I would need it for that rom.

Can I also get the 100% Incredible framework version? Thanks.
I had that problem with the latest clockwork. Do you know if that camera will work on an incredible with Gingerbread?

[Q] Is there a Vending.apk that works with EG22?

I tried installing and copying over 10 different Vending.apk's to /system/app folder and none work!
A few older versions of markets(before WP7 look) installed and i could open them and browse apps but as soon as i push on the app button in market,try to install app or do anything else the market would crash.
I removed usual amount of unneeded apk's from /system/app folder,is there any apk's that require the market to work or it doesn't work period?
I noticed there was 4 or 5 Terminal.apk's in /system/app folder and i removed them are they needed for market to function or is it something else?I only removed the things i always remove besides Terminal.apk's.
Its a shame because other than market not working its a solid rom.

The new market posted works fine for me on EG22.
Don't think your problem is the vending.apk. You either removed somthing you shouldn't have or the version of ROM you are using has something broken in it. "Stock" odexed EG22 has no problems with the market.
I had no problem with the market in the stock deodexed rom either but I upgraded to the new market and am using it with no issues.

You probably right,time to put back some apk's and see which one is needed for market.
Did you try clearing data in the market app?
Please post the answer if you figure it out. I'm having the same problem.
Have you tried fixing permissions followed by a reboot after pushing the apk?

[Q] sense 3.0 cam in CM7

Wondering if there was a way to pull the new stock sense camera app, the one with panorama, and install it in a CM7 rom?
Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Good question! I miss the HDR feature too!
Navigate to the /system/app , copy the camera apk to the sd card, flash back to CM7, rename it to Camera, and install. Not sure if it'll work, but that is how to do it.
pulled the app, tried to install but would not work. thinking it my if it was a flashable zip but i do not know how to do that i have the apk if anyone could but it in a zip. id be willing to test it

Wouldn't the Sense camera not work in AOSP because it depends on the Sense framework?
Yea I don't think its possible because of frameworks.

[Q] Switching Skins From ROM to ROM

I was wondering if there is a skin (or 2) that I like on one Sense 3.0 ROM, could I download it from the ROM I'm currently running using Root Explorer & install it on another Sense 3.0 ROM?
If so, how would I install the skin on the other ROM??
Just use Root Explorer to put the .apk file in data/apps?
Or .zip them up & flash them in recovery?
Thanks.
Simply .zip-ing it wouldn't do anything without an updater-script. Your best bet would be data/apps and adjust any permissions if need be then reboot

cool, thanks.
If it's an apk, you could just back it up with Titanium Backup. TB will backup system apks & restore them. I'm not sure if this is only available in the pro version as that's what I use. While restoring system apps across roms is generally a no-no, I think it would be fine with something like a theme.
Or you can pull the app with Root Explorer and reinstall it.
