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

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.

Good point. Thanks for the help. Hopefully CM will expand the camera app eventually

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.

Downgrade clockwork or reflash via recovery. You wont be dissapointed.

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.
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?
Sorry if this is out there but I am using version 10 of Miui camera and would like to upgrade to 17 to get fcc support... 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!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.

Please help, thanks to any answerers.

Thanks for your answers but none of the above worked, please note that I am trying to move a system app that came with Cyanogen Mod 7 to Cyanogen Mod 6 I am not trying to simply replace a default system app with a market app.
That might create a problem... Try searching for compatible apps for cm6...

Try flashing them through recovery, this is my cm7 centre clock zip which should push any app to /system/app I believe. http://db.tt/PtiEPiET use winrar or 7zip to delete the systemui and battery bar app in it as you really dont want to flash them on cm6 and add your apps to the /system/app folder then flash in recovery. I presume this should work but ive never used cm6 so i dont know.
Or you could make your own flashable zip to try it.

Thanks ill try that and ill get back to you, thanks again
EDIT: None of the above worked guess i will just have to live with a transparent music player and a visually demanding gallery :/
thanks anyway guys

In simple terms; take out the apk from the Gapps package and either cut or copy it. Now, navigate to your ROM's system/app/ directory, and paste the gallery2.apk there. The phone should be booted up the whole time while doing the above. Now, reboot your phone. That's it!

Because that's not how you're supposed to install the apk. Use the instructions I posted above on how to do it.
i took out the gallery 2 apk from all star apps. i pasted it in my roms system/app which overwrite the original one there and i rebooted my phone. nothing is installed on my phone i have no camera now.
