HTC Camera Port over to Ion build????

Ok so i am at a loss as to how to get the HTC cam ported to ion build i would appreciate any help possible to complete this i have been racking my brains and smashing away at ADB for hours and cant get it done.... PLEASE someone with advanced adb knowledge HELP!!!

You should be able to download HTCCamera.apk from where ever (do a search) and then use Terminal Emulator to su, then cp /sdcard/HTCCamera.apk /system/sd/app or where ever your current Camera app lives.

no so easy
its not that simple there are libs missing and other stuff too....
i already have the HTC camera apk i did my research before posting and spent countless hours trying to get it working thats why i ended up posting here for some advanced help.

Search harder next time.
You should try the rogers ROM. Comes with all the HTC apps(camera, camcorder, dialer and etc) and everything works perfectly.

Has this not been answered before? I don't believe the ION firmware has the HTC framework, so it will not work to just install it. Check with an ION-based or "part of ION" containing ROM that runs off of HTC framework. Cyanogen's does to my knowledge.

[REQ] Pays black bar and icons for CM 5.0.8

Now that we have a CyanogenMOD 5.0.8 on Desire, I am missing black bar and great icons from Pays...
I tried editing framework-res.apk myself but for some reason, after editing, signing, pushing and rebooting, I get FC on every single app on my phone. I don't have problems signing other apks.
Could somebody please edit this, shouldn't be too much work with the right procedure...
THANKS!

you don't have to sign it actually if you adb push it, I never sign it. Just be careful that images are the same resolution and especially look at the 9.png files cause they're not that simple to edit. Is the rom deodexed?

End up in a boot cycle if I don't sign. Didn't touch *.9.png's
Yes, rom is deodexed. Could signer be the problem? This is not the first ROM i had problems with framework-res....

did you change the permissions? chmod etc?
could you post the stock framework-res.apk?

No, m8, no chmod, chown or anything, just pushed it... Does it have to have specific permissions? I am just about to upload it...
EDIT: Uploaded
View attachment framework-res.apk

well, I use chmod 644.
also check this, I found it now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701

I changed the battery icons with some I know that work on mine. plz chmod 644 after you adb push it, then we'll know..

Sorry for responding so late. Will give it a go this weekend (hopefully) and will let you know the results. Thanks!

Thank you! Finally got chance to try it and yes, right permissions was the cause for my trouble.

[REQ] HTC Sense Live Wallpaper

Does anyone know where i can get the Desire's default live wallpaper for download? I've got Froyo and I liked that bubbles wallpaper.
Cheers,

Not 100% but it's probably the same as everything from Sense, you need to be running Sense to use them

It's in the livewallpapers.apk. I replaced the one in DJDroid with the one from cyanogenmod6 and that worked. So I'm sure you can use the one from the leaked sense 2.2 rom in any random Froyo rom.
Edit:
I have attached the Livewallpaper files from DjDroid for you.

You need to push it from recovery since you can't get read/write access on the desire because of the weird root.. so just reboot into recovery "adb shell mount /system" then "adb push ...."

that worked, but i don't think the zip file you attached had the bubbles live wallpaper from stock desire ... thanks though

Oh wait.. I think you are right, could be I replaced them in the ROM with another one. I don't have the original file anymore, so maybe you can download the DjDroid file yourself and see if it works that way.
Good luck

Ok, I'll give it a shot when i get home tonight, don't have the usb cable at work or i'd give it a shot right now

after some google searching i found this thread in the nexus one forum (didn't even think to search in there :s)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647837&page=10
apparently, the sense wallpaper isn't in the livewallpaper.apk but in the mode10wallpaper.apk, and you need multiple libraries.
I'm going to grab the necessary files from DJDroid's rom and will give it a shot , if it works I'll post the files i pushed here

well, i'm going to try pushing the files from DJ's 2.2 rom to defrost and see if that works ... but i can't do that until i get home, as I'm missing the usb cable at work ... will update in about 5-6 hours or tomorrow

ok, so i finally was able to push the files into my phone and the desire's default bubbles wallpaper is working for me on Defrost 2.0b (which is a 2.2 froyo rom)
I'm attaching the zip file with the appropriate files that need to be pushed into your phone using adb.
use the following code to push the files into phone.
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb push system/app/Mode10Wallpapers.apk system/app
adb push system/lib/libicule.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libiculx.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10_wallpapers.so /system/lib
adb push system/lib/libmode10Graphics.so /system/lib
adb shell reboot
and then you will have HTC Sense wallpaper in your live wallpapers
enjoy

Flashlight Preinstalled in Vodafone Froyo release

Hi,
Can anybody extract the APK for the LED Torch app preinstalled in Froyo?
I saw that the one include with Froyo on the Desire works with a Desire with Eclair. (But doesn't work with my Legend) So I would like to check if the one included in Froyo for the Legend will also work with the Legend on Eclair.
The package name is com.htc.flashlight
Thanks!

U don't have to wait....
Try this APP: Lamppu
But first u have to (Soft)root your Legend with (Universal Androot)
After that, install superuser APP. Now start Lamppu and allow superuser rights...
Now u can use your LED as torch.
Tried it self on my legend v.2.1

Sure about the name?
The only thing I found in the Modaco ROM was Flashlight.apk
Then again...I have no clue what I am doing

above file is not working

Yeah it doesn't install

Ok gentlemen, one more try.
Extracted, re-zipped and signed the apk using apk-manager.
Removed the system app from my phone using TitaniumBackup and installed the signed apk through Root Explorer.
Works for me. No guarantee that it does for any other ROM or Android version though.
Sorry for the video but I just found out how to do screencasts and love it
Its German but you should be able to understand it.
Notice that it is now uninstallable and listed as downloaded app.

Installed and ran for me in stock 2.1 but it didn't do anything with the flash when playing with it

Thanks for trying!
This one is installing correctly, and also loading correctly, but it doesn't light up the LED.
So it isn't working

Are you phones rooted?

First of all, you have to have deodexed apk and second, you need to set right permissions in sysfs.

The apk is deodexed. As for the permissions. No clue how to set them right
Had to read up an hour last night just to learn enough to extract it. Big newbie here hehe. Guess I'll check some threads about sysfs permissions and try it again later.

Sysfs is everything under /sys directory. File /sys/class/leds/flashlight/brightnes should have read-write permission set for everyone.

Ahhh thanks! I guess I understand now.
Ok I just flashed whitetigerdk's rev03 ROM which is a rooted 2.03 ROM.
Than I did the following in adb shell:
Code:
chmod 777 /sys/class/leds/flashlight/brightness
checked permissions with:
Code:
cd /sys/class/leds/flashlight
ls -l
and it has rw permission for everyone now.
Code:
-rwxrwxrwx root root 4096 2010-12-01 16:29 brightness
Problem is, that booting the phone resets the permissions.
EDIT:
I just repeated the procedure while the phone was booted in normal mode.
Permissions successfully changed AND flashlight is working correctly, including all three different light settings!
Still, a reboot resets the permissions.
Guess I have to find a way to make this change permanent now and all is done
Hah so cool. Never used chmod or any other linux command until today. Had to google everything while I was testing. Nice how much one can learn here.
Another EDIT:
Found something else that is interesting.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#FLASHLIGHT
Would adding this to the AndroidManifest.xml help aswell? I'd do it myself but I have to work soon. Just tried it decoding the xml with AXMLPrinter and adding it. Unfortunatly I don't know how to save the xml in the right format again and just saving it corrupts the apk. If noone else wants to give it a try I'll check back after work.

denisman said:

Yeah... this is done via init.rc which is inside initrd image. So you have two options... tweak init.rc (you would need to unpack boot.img image and extract initrd image, edit init.rc, make new initrd image and construct back boot.img... this can all be done in one swoop with dsixda's kitchen) or make a script that is run every boot (we are doing it via run-parts which also requires editing of init.rc... once again dsixda's kitchen can add this functionality in a single swoop)...
As for "android.permission.FLASHLIGHT" I'm not sure about it as I can see that HTC is doing it avoiding it (setting permissions to 666 by default in FroYo)...
If you want decoding/encoding xmls use ApkManager. It's a nice CLI tool that can decompile and compile apks back...
You are quite a fast learner, congrats.

Back home Got pretty late.
I don't actually need this since I am running a rooted Froyo ROM anyways but thought it would be an interesting task to get this working for others to easily use it and for me to learn more about Android. The first option sounds like it would require a bit too much end-user activity and would be limited to a certain set of ROMs if I understand it correctly.
Leaving the second and third option as the most user-friendly ones I guess.
I will read up more on init.rc and ways to script for it tomorrow. Sounds like a very powerful "tool" to know.
For now I will concentrate on the XML. Might be the most comfortable and ROM-independent way if I get it to work.

Used Apk Manager to extract, zip and sign the apk in the first place. Really nice tool. Just didn't find an option to convert the xml from binary to readable, that's why I used AXMLPrinter2.jar which can do the conversion one-way but not back to binary.
I'll find a way
Thanks again for the input! Helped me a lot!

[Script] AutoInstall new camera [Hastarin 8.5.1 + new cam libs]

Mods: If you think this should go in general section feel free to move it, thanks.
I built a script that will install the new camera (nexus based), it will replace all necessary files to get the camera working as well as hastarins 8.5.1 modules (to get wifi working and all) and finally liblights and libhtc_ril_wrapper (might be overkill, but it works)
Instructions: Unzip CamScript folder to SD Card (anywhere is fine) and then as su (adb shell or terminal emulator, anything you use to run bash scripts is ok) run cam_install.sh
Note: It will replace zImage in either /sdcard/HD2ONE or /sdcard/Android; it will not work if you have a kernel in a folder different to those so edit your startup.txt file if necessary.
Credit goes to hastarin for the kernel and camera files
-OCM
V1.5: Everything should work now, i've tested on stock HD2ONE_Latest. Backup versions of all modified files are saved in /data/cam_backups.

Good job

Thanks for the script,
Noticed that in the Replace_Libs function you copy liboemcamera.so to libcamera.so.old overwriting the other libcamera.so.old!!
I'm guessing you don't want to do that??
I've just tried this on my JDMS 1.5 that already had Hastarin8.5.1 old camera and my Andorid wouldn't reboot.
Anyone got any tips on troubleshooting non-restarting phones??
I've got the HTC splashscreen and I can adb into the phone but from there on I'm a bit lost.

Same problem here...i've tried your script on the HD2ONE 0.3.3 Rc2 version. I've followed all the instructions and now im stuck on the green HTC logo.....Can you please tell me how to Manually apply this script because i think it doesnt work properly....thanks

I don't think this fix is going to work with build that is based on cm6 .1 rc2 because it gets boot loops on the htc screen. I will still give this fix a try and report back....
Edit
Tried it and it did not work for me, black screen on the camera...

Really thanks, anyway tomorrow (now its late night here) i'm going to reinstall the latest HD2ONE build and then applying your script again (still if you told me how to manually add all the stuff it would be better for me)

Uploaded the fixed version, worked on stock HD2ONE_Latest, so it *should* work on other builds but i cant guarantee this. If you're stuck on boot screen you can try running this new script and see if it works, if it doesnt replace system.ext2 with stock from your build then run the script. Sorry about the initial errors...

So, I used your 1.5 script and this time managed to reboot back into Android.
Everything seemed fine except that my camera still had a green tinge when used with the flash.
THEN I realised that I still had the root directory in the Android folder. So assumed/guessed that the libs were being oerwritten by those in the root folder.
So I renamed root to root_old, re-ran your script, rebooted.
Hung like a mule!!
Restoed original JDMS 1.5 system.ext2, rebooted fine.
Except now my accounts don't sync, my camera takes a picture then hangs
I will get it all back thanks to Titanium Backup
--
Looking at your script it's what I've always been doing to install new Kernels. The green tinge was there when I first tried Hasatrin 8.5.1
The only thing that you do different is include a build.prop file (which is wildly different from mine BTW).
So, my question, is it something in the build.prop that is stopping the grren tinge? If so, what??
TIA

as far as i know, this new lib file in CM or MIUI build make camcorder freeze..does it? or does it not?

I have a weird problem: when i'm in terminal emulator, then su (#), but when i try to type run cam_install.sh it says....run: not found......i think it doesnt recognize the run command..is it possibile??
Is there a way to avoid using this script and SIMPLY manually put all the needed files in the correct directories??
Thanks in advance!!!
P.S. I'm doing that in a HD2ONE stock unmodified latest build...

Try
Code:
./cam_install.sh
there is no 'run' command in linux. Programs are executable and are run by just typing their name.
Of course the file has to be chmod'd to be executable too, but the ./ gets around that mostly.

It didn't work with HD2ONE-0.3.3.RC2
Just stuched in HTC welcome page

Since everyone is having such a hard time getting it to work here are the manual instructions:
Replace your current kernel with hastarins 8.5.1
Replace Camera.apk in /system/app
Replace libcamera.so, liboemcamera.so, libOmxCore.so, libOmxVdec.so, libOmxVidEnc.so in /system/lib
Optional but recommended: replace lights.qsd8k.so in /system/lib/hw and rename or remove /system/lib/hw/lights.htcleo.so also replace libhtc_ril_wrapper.so in /system/lib
replace bcm4329.ko, tun.ko and cifs.ko in /system/lib/modules
place 99complete in /system/etc/init.d and chmod it to 755 (important!)
replace build.prop to fix green tint (I got it from the green tint fix thread and just replaced some lines to match CM6)
reboot
Also, i said these libs were nexus based so if your build is desire based it simply wont work
