Here is the evo 4 camera app with the nice onscreen button. I installed the OTA yesterday and that was one of the things I misssed the most about frankenrom. So I decided to rip the camera app out of frankenrom and see if it would work with the OTA. Surprise it actually does!

I made a zip that is installable through clockwork recovery. Just download and put on the root of your sd card and update it from within clockwork. One thing to keep in mind is that you should probably backup the stock camera app to app.disabled or your sdcard so you can go back incase there is an issue.

I tested this on my phone and it worked fine, please let me know if you have any issues so I can try to fix it.

Old Instructions and file for manual installation:
http://www.filedropper.com/htccamera

Boot into recovery and mount /system
Move /system/app/HTCCamera.apk to /system/app.disabled/ just incase
Then adb push HTCCamera.apk /system/app/
Then adb reboot

If you have issues with the camera showing up after installation you will need to change the permissions of the .apk. You can do this through root explorer if you have it, just change the permissions to:
User: Read, Write
Group: Read
Other: Read

You can also do this from a adb shell by typing:
chmod 644 /system/app/HTCCamera.apk

Sweet! I like the EVO Camera way better than the standard Incredible one.

Thanks. Going to try this.
