Root Google Edition camera, live wallpaper, and boot animation!

[goshjosh]

the downloads are available here Download: Boot Animation, SunBeam Live Wallpaper, And Updated Camera From Google Play Edition Devices [Root Only]

Gonna be testing them out and will update with what I find

Update 1: Camera has so far been fully functional except for 3D and no editing features in gallery

Update 2: Boot animation and live wallpaper look awesome! Although the "google" in the boot animation looks a bit big, it still looks good.

Just follow the instructions the website gives you and you should be good to go!!

when you say

are you including 3D?

I don't think any of the AOSP camera's work with 3D. I remember using it when I was on a 3D capable ROM, and 3D didn't work.

Woops no, forgot to mention. I forget that our phones even have that functionality

Tried on angry bean but can't get camera to install.

All you have to do is flash it. I'm on angry bean and it's working really well.

What I downloaded was an apk, not flashable. Keeps saying not installed.

Try moving it to /system/app and changing permissions to rw-r-r

Use an app like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer to do so, then reboot.

I haven't tried it yet, but I might soon.

This works on Angry Bean.

That's strange, when i first downloaded it, they had it available in a zip.

https://www.box.com/s/wm6edybjcujxgwms22hw I uploaded it and here's a link if you'd rather flash it if you can t figure out how to change permissions and what not.

Thanks. That worked on pacman. Had to reboot an extra time as system UI crashed first time but all seems to be good now.

I'm going to play around with the camera sphere tomorrow and I'll post it if I can, so far not to bad. Just sucks you can't edit photos. I usually crop my photos and it won't let me do that.

Whoa. I never noticed that the editing features don't work D:

I guess if you don't mind working around it, using a 3rd party app is a good way to go.

I personally think this camera takes pictures a lot faster than the previous one. Or maybe it's just an illusion.

Works on ICE?

Edit: No go.

Here's a link to an xda thread in which the poster gives instructions on making the boot animations compatible with sense. However, it's a thread for the evo LTE and I couldn't get it working on our phone. Maybe someone else can tinker with it. Poster also has different variations of the animation.

None from the above link work at all for me but the animation from the link in the OP brings up the Google lettering but never gets into the animation...

 

[Mobstergunz]

i fixed the boot animation to work on our phones its in my Rom so you can get it from there

 

[phw8558]

Thanks mob, I got "youdug's" variations in the link I posted above working. If anyone else is interested; remove (or rename) the "Sprint_bootanimation.zip" in customize/resource, then flash the zip in recovery. He made a couple cool variations so be sure to thank him. Also, there is a second small step to follow if your on sense. The directions are in his second post.

Has anyone had problems with the new camera force closing? When I try to start it up again, it gives an error that the camera can't connect. I have to reboot to get it to work again (until a few snapshots later, the problem comes up again) - really sucks when you need to take an instant picture
