Root Evo 4g Camera App APK

[incredibler]

can someone post a version that does not need the permissions changed? or post the apk at a link that will allow my phone to download it unchanged?

if ur rooting and romming root explorer is a must buy app...you won't regret it.

 

[incredibler]

ok bought root explorer, I can see the apk in my sd card and open it and change permissions, then try to install it and it fails...any ideas?

Are you moving the original to a different folder, then moving the new one to the apps folder, then changing permissions and rebooting?

 

[incredibler]

i think i messed up pretty bad...i used titanium to remove the original camera app and then downloaded root explorer, changed the permissions and am having trouble getting it to install...i have s-off running fourth wave with hboot .92, and adryn's kernal

 

[Spart]

You just have to copy/paste, or move the new file to the right folder, then fix permissions. I changed permissions then moved it and it didn't work until I did it again within the right folder.

 

[yojoe600]

just put it into system>app folder and reboot and make sure the permissions are right then reboot

 

[incredibler]

thanks for all the help, the file is like 862k right? I moved it to the app folder and the permissions are read write read read, there whenever i try to install it, it just says intsall failed.

 

[incredibler]

sorry guys...i got it...didn't realize that once the .apk file is in the system app folder I don't have to actually install it. The camera file is working properly....thanks, pretty new to these kinds of changes

Also works for me with no issues. Ran the chmod commands from adb shell, and everything is great!

Thanks again.

I updated the first post with a zip file that can be installed through clockwork.

 

[j-money]

Damn you CowGod, that would of saved me a few bucks i spent on Root Explorer!!! haha, but i do love that program now, i know ill use it again,

Thx for the zip tho, it will make it easier next time i have to do this lol.

 

[BreakTheStatic]

Yup, the permissions fixed it for me as well. Thanks for the tips everyone. It's nice having the onscreen shutter...

 

[fliptwister]

Wow, thanks so much for this TheCowGod! I cannot tell you how many blurry pictures I had (or how many pictures I missed by pressed power button) when having to press optical joystick. On screen shutter is so much better. I'm liking the new face detection and other improvements as well.

 

[TheCowGod]

Your welcome! I thought that the stock 2.2 had face detection, I might be wrong though. I only used it a couple times before I switched to the evo camera.

I am using CM6.0.1.
And whenever I go into recovery, and install the EVOcamera.zip.
After I reboot, I will keep getting forced close whenever I open camera.
Any ideas?

I don't think so. I have been running Froyo for nearly a week and I do not believe I got the face detection while in camera...could be wrong.

Did you change the permissions with root explorer to:
User: Read, Write
Group: Read
Other: Read
?

 

[pkmn760]

Sorry for delay

Thanks, ima installit now lol i like it

 

[gilee]

What Root Explorer you guys using?
I am using Root Explorer 2.8.1. It is a purple icon.
I just installed it, and it keep force close whenever I open the Root Explorer after I ask me for SU permission. Any ideas?

I really cannot stand the CM6.0.1 Camera. It sucks.

 

[ethon]

Couldn't get it working with CM 6.0.1 either. Tried changing permissions with adb and with Root Explorer. Continued to Force Close everytime. Gave up and went to a different ROM

 

[Mean Sixteen]

just loaded with your zip file.

you are awesome.

This is a nice improvement on the stock Camera.

I am on skyraider 3.0 with bf#2 king kernel.

 

[xintensex]

Ok I installed with UD8 Force Closes?? Damn I really wanted to this one to work, I love the HTC camera!!

Yeah, there is no way this is going to work with any vanilla roms. The camera drivers are different and the sense framework that the camera requires is missing as well. You will have to stay with one of the sense based roms if you want to use this...

 

[Contempt]

I have downloaded it on 3 machines one being right to the phone and I am getting that the zip file is invalid or unsuccessful download.

What size is the file and does anyone have a working zip file they can post?

Thanks!

EDIT: 4th time was the charm. That file hosting site is hinky. 3 empty zip folder and the 4th downloaded fine.

Camera is awesome. Thanks for posting this. I love it.

BTW the file size is 565 KB.
