Hello, All !
I've just bought the Defy,
I work at secured site and have to disable my phone camera.
Is there any option to do this using some software with no dealing with the hardware, means not to take the camera off the phone.
Sorry, but i don't know any program that does it.
Just a contextual question: what would be the difference if you have some app to disable the camera? if you want to take any picture, wouldn't you be able to re-activate the camera?
and btw, if you don't start the camera app, i guess it is not recording anything.
Just remove the camera app from your phone with rootexplorer, make a backup of the app first (BlurCamera.apk and BlurCamera.odex if you have a non deodexed rom) so you can put them back in the future.

According to the organization policy the camera should be disabled while I'm in, but the point is being able to re-activate the camera
during the weekends or vacations.

Sorry for the beginners questions :
1. How could I get rootexplorer ? should I reinstall rom for this ?
2. What is the path for the apps (BlurCamera.apk and BlurCamera.odex)?
Thank you

First you have 2 root your phone with superoneclick (instructions somewere on this forum).
Then you download rootexplorer (search with google) to get R/W permissions on the system folder.
The Camera app is in system/app.....
can't you just cover the camera with tape or something like that perhaps place your in a case that does not have a camera place cut put or cover that up? I mean honestly unless someone gets ahold of your phone how are they gonna know if the camera is active?

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'm talking about reading with very low screen brightness at night.

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.
Hi guys! I've been using @olvrick's camera from his thread [APP][SENSE][M7]Camera.apk from newest 2.25 base with GIF support and better quality, but it only works on Android 4.2.2, so I made a little repack for 4.3, nothing special.
[highlight]NOTE 1: Camera from FW 3.18 is the same version like the one from FW 3.17.
NOTE 2: There is no camera in FW 3.22 OTA update.[/highlight]
Download links:
Camera_422_on_43_v2-lite.zip
BUG:
When you click on the thumbnail to review the photo, it shows you last taken one and only details are available.
But when you click back once (just once), you are still in gallery, but this time it has options and you can scroll through photos.
Click back once more and you are back to camera.
Camera_422_on_43_v1-lite.zip
If you messed with camera before this mod/apk:
Camera_422_on_43_v2-full.zip
NOTE: Nothing special about this one, no extra features, just extra files to replace messed up ones.
Camera_422_on_43_v1-full.zip
And if you wanna restore original from 4.3:
Camera_restore_on_43_v2-full.zip
Camera_restore_on_43_v1-full.zip
Changelog:
Code:
[b]
v2
fixed bug-1, made bug-2 :p
media-profiles tweaks
[I]bug-2: clicking on thumbnail takes you to last picture, clicking back takes you to gallery, back again to camera.[/I]
v1

[I]bug-1: by clicking on thumbnail in cam you can only see last photo[/I]

Just got back from racing track. Downloading ROM, but I need sleep (cause my vacation is over), so expect my reply tomorrow.
EDIT: ROM already DL'ed, so I had to check it out... Flash Camera_422_on_43_v1-lite.zip and you should get another camera. Don't use full version. With lite none of the original files will be removed, so it would be easy to remove this one if it's not working.

confirmed working on AHRD 21 no issues. flashed lite tried and it all worked great. flashed full but didnt see any difference
is the full version supposed to have the ISO icon on the main screen and the ability to make the capture button background transparent?

Confirmed that the Camera_422_on_43_v1-lite is working well on the ARHD 21.0
Thank you very much donmarkoni.
When I flash this camera, whenever I click on the previous taken picture it links me to opening the picture itself and only has "details" as the options unlike before where you could edit/delete/etc. Any idea how to get it to what it was like before?

Thanks for confirmation! Full doesn't make any difference for you cause you are on close-to-stock (look-like-stock) ROM.
As for the question, answer is no, no extra on-screen options, those would be Viper Cam options you are talking about.

Yes, I just noticed it myself. Didn't notice it before, as I don't use it, just take the shots, then later check them through Gallery. Probably broken links between Camera and Gallery, cause of different Android versions.
Solution is to live with it, or flash restore zip from 1st post, until I try to fix it, but I can't promise a fix cause I'm not that skilled (yet)
BTW, what ROM are you using?

Will try something when I get home from work.
Thank you for the quick reply!
Before this mod was created I tried flashing the original camera file for 4.2.2 that this mod is based on...camera itself worked with some minor issues, however I did get a force close whenever I tried to view the pictures I had just taken in gallery.
One thing I noticed was it had more on screen options like ISO etc, it also had the ability to make the capture bottons transparent.
Was that original file Viper Cam? If not I'm just curious if maybe those options broke when the mod was created.
Regardless, I love this mod. Thank you very much!!!!

Glad you like it.
Those options you mention are from Viper Camera. I could ask @Turge, @j to the 4n and @hansbert about using their Cam, if there is interest. Well, I just kinda asked them, mentioning their names here.

I'll try, but I can't promise anything, as I don't use GE ROMs and I'm not a developer, just sharing something that worked for me.
If they would allow the use of it that would be amazing! As long as it is based on the new-er build like this one.
I haven't ever used viper Rom nor have I used the cam from it.. so I'm still confused as to how I was able to have the extra settings.... :-\

I got the CameraNextMod app from this forum. The interface is simple and cool, however, the photos I took were revised. I thought I could change this just for one parameter inside the app or CM11.
I am using the latest unofficial CM11 and I added the app as an attachment.

Sooooooo... what you're asking for is to modify the app so the picture shows "upside-up", right?
Just install Google camera instead.
CameraNextMod seemed to be the only one that had a working flash. If anyone can modify the app to just flip the screen 180 it would complete this phone on CM11 and SlimKat. imo
I just tried and it seems to work well...except for everything being inverted. It would be amazing if someone who knew about apps could fix this.

I just checked out the info from ggow for Slimkat and he added a new camera app that people may have success with, Snap Camera. I installed the free version and I really liked it due to the flash actually working! It is $1.99 for the paid version. The free version has a pop up that prevents you from using the camera for about 10 seconds...It shows up at random and gets annoying, but at least it gives you a good idea if this is the right one for you.
I liked it enough that I bought it.
So currently I'm on the latest RR but the camera app that comes with it crashed after 2 HDR pictures. I tried the official M8 one from a zip file but seems the pictures are not saved. Now I'm stuck without a camera. Open camera has pretty ugly UI. I was wondering if you have any suggestions on good camera app even modded ones that work well with the M8
