Hello to all, i was bored so i started to modding the samsung's camera app. I tried to change the audio quality (from 12.8kbps, 8khz, amr => 128kbs, 32khz, aac) but our phone/kernel doesnt support aac encoding (?)

I also tried to change the output 3gpp video to mp4 without luck.

I managed to remove the low battery limitation which was preventing you to take photos/videos when your battery was lower than 15 percent.

Features

Removed low battery limitation.

Power button acts as Shutter button. (Only for camera, not for camcorder)

Geotagging toggle option.

Download

v1: Megaupload

v2: Megaupload

How to install

A) Using CWM recovery

Put the zip in your sdcard.

Go in CWM recovery

Install zip from sdcard

Choose zip from sdcard

Find it and press the home button

When it finishes press reboot system now

B) Using Root Explorer

Extract the Camera.apk from the zip (system/app/)

Put it in your sdcard

Navigate to it with root explorer, and copy it to /system/app/

Reboot your phone

Note: This works on deodexed roms. If your rom is odexed remove /system/app/Camera.odex file with root explorer.

Changelog

v1: Removed low battery limitation (initial release)

v2: Power button acts as Shutter button. (bug with home button, use back button to exit camera app)

Rom chefs - feel free to use this mod in your roms, but please give proper credit for the work and click my thanks button. Thank you.

You're not able to mod the resolution of the videocam?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
No .
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] rafadm:
yes, it would be awsome to film with a higher resolution
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] akash.gpta:
This is what i want to see a "camera mod"

Hope u find a way to do it ;)

EDIT: I think marcellusbe can help u. :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
He told me that he will check the kernel/codecs when he has free time :P He has many thing to do so... I must wait.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] akash.gpta:
I hate waiting :p

marcellusbe is the only one with considerable knowledge here...we need more of 'em :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Woohoooo, i managed to get the power button to take photos!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] akash.gpta:
I want that...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] jinxskore:
Is geo tagging disabled? Camera fails when it is enabled on default camera aap. using another camera mod, but in it, video recorder doesn't work.

Does this mod fix these? Fingers crossed. :)

EDIT: WORKS! IT WORKS! Fixed my ****. You're the man!

Thanks thanks thanks :D:D:D:D:D:D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] aeonstorm:
how do i install this? its a zip file
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dxdiag32:
haven't test yet.but will try it soon.:)why don't you try to mod miui camera?it's more faster than original camera but the video doesn't work on our sg3
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] jinxskore:
flash it via CWM :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Chesnut:
Awesome! I hope the mod gives the camera more useful edits. :D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Added how to install. Next target: Enable power button as shutter button in videocamera too! :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] vishnu:
'Self-photography' is impossible with the touchscreen button! :p

The power-button Mod is a good improvment. Thankyou for that :)

This might sound odd to you. But how about making the Menu button act as the shutter button? Its at a more convenient place and the back button already serves the purpose of quitting the app.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Hm no. I havent found any sources to do that. :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] vishnu:
Alright. Neva mind. Good work anyway. Looking forward to 6.0! :D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] aropop:
Anyway you could install this as an normal app (load apk to sdcard and just install?)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Nope. It wont work.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] jinxskore:
Hahaha. No chance :D

All the best
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] aropop:
I'm just a nub @ this modding stuff :p
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] jinxskore:
don't worry. We all go on learning. ;-)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] JeroenGijselaar:
Thnx for awesome mod :D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
You're welcome :D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Humpie:
I installed this using root explorer but when I opened the camera app and I pressed the power button it doesn't take a picture. It just shows a little lock icon...

Did I do something wrong? Do I have to delete the old .odex file also?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Yes delete the Camera.odex :P
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] rascal0pl:
In gingerbread will be able to use aac ?

or when this kernel has voodoo sound recording implemented correctly?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
I think in GB we will be able to use aac encoding.

Voodoo sound has nothing to do, but marcellusbe will check the kernel when he has time :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Franckydiam:
Hi Kyrilos, i have the same problem than "Humpie" (It just shows a little lock icon...) and sorry for my question but , where is the "old .odex file"...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
It is located in /system/app/Camera.odex. Remove it with root explorer and reboot :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Franckydiam:
Thx for quick reply :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Franckydiam:
it works well for photos, but I still have the problem with the video camera function (lock icon), is this normal?:confused:
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Yes its normal. :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Franckydiam:
Ok, finally it's not such a big problem, I can always use the button on the screen. thank you again. :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ghpk:
Kyrillos, thanks Camera and video is working fine now

Can you check and edit the preview time, I think it should be 1 second only as when you need to click quick pics, you don't want a 2 second wait, or you cannot turn off the preview option as moments pass by then.

keeping preview off is not quite good as you sometime need just a glimpse of what you clicked, where 1 second would be best suited.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Always have your stuff when you need it with @Dropbox. 2GB account is free! http://db.tt/cXrM8by
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] osbozzy:


You can do the same in the modded camera application from SGS tool.

But that kinda force closes some times.

Nice work brother :-)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dennocro:
When I go to recovery and Install zip from sdcard

No such file or directory

E: Cant mount /sdcard

How to install?

I put that zip on sdcard
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] rohit3221:
Hi kyrillos...I have used both samsung galaxy s tools' camera.apk and your modded camera.apk...

there is one thing i really liked in the galaxy s' camera.apk...it was the auto focus feature...when we clicked the button to take pics, the camera first focussed itself and then captured the pic...

can you do this in your camera.apk too?

because to use focus in our camera, we need to hold down the shutter button which is really annoying...

thnks
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] akash.gpta:
@kyrillos: That can be done I guess u'll have to look in the OnLongclickListener actions
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Thanks i will check it. :P
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] luckyankit:
Can you add auto focus feature in this likewise we had in miui camera app????
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Dharam_Maniar:
Super work with the Camera Mod and Messaging Mod kyrillos :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Gurjot95:
Very useful mod and hey Kyrillos, can you tell me which files you edited for shutter button and other. I may help you bit because I have found auto focus, review time files but don't know where to change values :P. There is also file named flash mode, no idea what it is for.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Can you send me the link? :) I modified some .smali files!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Redkevin25:
I tried to copy Camera.apk to system/app and it says there is not enuf space and that its not 100% correct
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Gurjot95:
Yeah I know but which files? is it ShutterButton.smali?

Anyways sent you PM with Camera files.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Redkevin25:
Maby somebody needs to make a app and call it Xcamera with all the features so everbody can use it. I hope sombody does this
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] RyDeR`:
Hai, so will the sound ever get fixed? I really hate the voice recording of a video.. I hope you can fix this! I look forward for updates. :p
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] unreal3000:
hey guys one more request ! :D

do u think ul be able to get the touch to focus from the hacked sgs camera.apk?

it works well on our phone as i have tried!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] niteshtak:
Hey kyrillos...plz do something about the audio in the video recording...i recorded a few videos yesterday (the quality was not that good..i mean what can we expect from a 3.2) but still,when i played those video again the audio was terrible..it was so noisy my ears were abt to bleed :p

I've currently installed ur camera modv2 !!!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] neo1691:
ty works perfectly
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] schwarzerkreuz:
Finally the camera works! Thanks Kyrillos.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] schwarzerkreuz:
Power button acts as Shutter button for camcorder, its impossible?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ale_cas:
I have a problem. I try to do this exactly as yo said, but when i copy the files and reboot, the camera was gone. I cant to reinstall it. Pls help me (sry, my english sucks)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Remove Camera.odex file if exists.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ale_cas:
i Already do that.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
Give me more info. You are in a stock/custom rom? Version?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] alok1663:
Try camera mod from sgs tools far better than this...!!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ale_cas:
Thx for your answers. Its solved. I was trying to did it at 2.1 Eclari. Finally upgrade to froyo and it works. Thanks
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] rfandango:
it's ok on my g3
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] SpeTheof:
Hey, you should add a key combination to lock the camera now since the lock button is capturing images. also when i press it it has a delay, it lags for some reason, at least for the first photo i take with it. i hope you can fix all these
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kyrillos13:
It very difficult... :/
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Peyupy:
I have firstuarom on my galaxy ace can i install this mod?¿
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ak700:
Suggestion - Can you increase the zooming capacity of the camera. I think it can be done because there are some apps which do it but these apps don't have the other functions. Thanks.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] mankokoma:
digital zooming is bull sit. use a program on PC.

sent from the desert with xda app
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] mohsin2cool:
can somebody provide this..as megaupload is barred
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] robojde:
Hi kyrillos, or anyone else, are you able to upload this mod to another host as megaupload is dead?

Thanks
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kipariss:
and this mode the camera will work on the M7?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Hazaky:
I wouldnt like that. When you start up the camera, it's automatically focused to infinity. Refocusing will make things too slow. If you want to do a picture of something very close and you got time then obviously you use the hold-shutter autofocus.

Cameras are all about taking pictures quickly.

The current digital zoom is just fine. When it's in default (zoom: 0) then it's just full frame picture resized to 320x240 (Video res). Now, if you zoom in - it doesnt resize that 320x240 frame but zooms in the frame that is captured by the sensor. This means that if you have it fully zoomed in then it will capture pixel by pixel (as clear as it is on a still image). Im not quite sure if i explained it correctly, but all i can say is that you can NOT zoom in like that with video editing. However, poor video compression will ruin the quality.

You can read more about it in wikipedia (cannot post link here due to n00b-restriction). :o
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] kipariss:
and where you can download this package? megaupload does not exist anymore?

sorry for my English, I use Google Translator :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] qaysedcftgb:
I simply took the Camera.apk out of the system.img for kyrillos 9.0

-> http://www.mediafire.com/?fwirnsl23locwhi

it´s an update.zip for cwm

works fine.

If it´s forbidden for me to publish this single apk, please leave me a note and I will delete the file.

Hi There thismorning I flashed my i5800 that I purchased from Carphone Warehouse with the I5800XWJPF 2.2 firmware from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063940 using ODIN.

The first time I tried it all seemed to be successful, and I then proceeded to root it with SuperOneClick and began restoring my phone using titanium. Then halfway through it crashed, and with no input from me my phone rebooted. It then got stuck on the I5800 boot screen. I finally managed to get it to work be re-flashing the JPF firmware. I Then factory reset the phone (forgot to last time). Now I have finally managed to restore to my phone to how it was.. ish.

When I reboot the phone it take forever to run the Media Scanner and no widgets other that the Google search load up. Also icons are missing. Aswell as thos issues the phone runs slower than it did, and crashes often. I have fired up angry birds and it was just a juttering mess. Based on all this I decided to revert back to 2.1.. and oh oh.. can't find my firmware.

My initial firmwares were:

PDA: I5800XXJG7

Phone: I5800XXJG3

CSC:I5800XXJG5

It was rooted using z4 root and had live wallpapers enabled.

Help!

What can i do to fix this?
[Galaxy 3 General] dhirend_6d:
Why don t you flash XXJPM, its stable and good. If you want then see here.:)
[Galaxy 3 General] morgan314:
Missing Icons

Okay, it seems to have now settled down after several reboots, but it seems to loose around 30% of the home screen icons upon reboot. Is this normal? And does it happen on the JPM firmware that was suggested above?
[Galaxy 3 General] Panos_dm:
No it is not normal. Do a factory reset, flash any 2.1 rom from www.samfirmware.com and then JPM.

Peace...;)

Sent from my lestatious 2.0 nokia 3210
[Galaxy 3 General] LarryMetal:
I've got XWJPF and no problems. It runs very smooth. Something else is wrong.
[Galaxy 3 General] nrk_2k:
Try flashing it to the earliest stock version of 2.1 that works, do a factory reset, then using Samsung kies, update it to the latest version available on there. Then try and reflash your choice of 2.2 rom. I had similar trouble with mine when I first started. I would recommend flashing CWM recovery as well, the samsung recovery is crap. XXJPQ seems to be available now and is getting some good reviews, fast and stable like JPF, but more up to date. Also try using SuperOneClick to root, has the best results to my knowledge. Some roms take a while to load all the app icons on boot, depending on the amount of apps you have it can sometimes take a little bit. I've found letting the phone go idle for a minute can get rid of the loadup lag. The ram gets topped out easily on the G3 if you have lots of apps that load at startup, which will severely slow the phone down.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy 3 General] morgan314:
More Problems

Okay, Now after a few restarts and crossing my fingers the icon thing has started to work, aswell as everything else clearing up. But now the app sizes are very small according to application manager, (angry birds - 2.2mb) and many third party apps reading 0bytes. Another thing is that Bluetooth refuses to work. It vibrates once when enabled, then another 3 times in quick succession and then the force close dialog appears. After clicking force close the box disappears and the phone responds again. I then manage to pai with a device but when I went to send a file, the dialog box and the vibrates appeared again and it refused to send. Any ways to fix?
[Galaxy 3 General] LarryMetal:
Factory reset->reflash->factory reset.

Keep back ups!

All that you say is abnormal.
[Galaxy 3 General] TheCreat:
About your disappearing icons:

Are you using the (stock) TouchWiz launcher? If so, that has a (known) bug on 2.2 that all links to apps which were moved to sd card disappear if you unmount the card (which includes reboot). Are the apps that disappear on the sd card?
[Galaxy 3 General] morgan314:
Reflash

Okay, to start with I will try the factory reset, flash, factory reset that was suggested. And by the way the disappearing apps were not on the sd card... Strange.. If this failds i will do as suggested by flashing to the earliest version, the update via Kies. I was trying to avoid this because of internet allowance..

Thanks for all the replies by the way :)
[Galaxy 3 General] morgan314:
...

Took 3 attempts to factory reset without crashing .. going ahead with reflash now..
[Galaxy 3 General] morgan314:
Flash successful.. factory resetting again.. (my germans going to be amazing by the end of this.. I can navigate to the Keyboard menu! :O)
[Galaxy 3 General] morgan314:
Rooting and restoring.. will post results in a few minutes time!
[Galaxy 3 General] morgan314:
I'm halfway through restoring my settings via Titanium, and I keep getting the single vibrate, roughly 10 second delay, than a very fast triple vibrate, exactly the same as it did just before bluetooth crashed... Is something else wrong? :confused:
[Galaxy 3 General] morgan314:
Okay, I've restored rooted and reflashed it and... ... still the same.. :(
[Galaxy 3 General] morgan314:
Titanium

Is it possible that this is caused by me restoring my phone settings from 2.1 to 2.2 through titanium?
[Galaxy 3 General] CompufixUK:
If you need the original firmware to return it to stock pm me and ill upload it somewhere for you
[Galaxy 3 General] morgan314:
:D:D:D

I have just sent a bluetooth file! After another flash and wipe.. but havent restored or rooted. Don't think I will bother really. I now have a working phone! Thank you!
[Galaxy 3 General] LarryMetal:
You must restore only apps. Restoring system configurations and apps data will cause problems. If I'm wrong correct me.
[Galaxy 3 General] morgan314:
That'll be what I was doing wrong with the Bluetooth thing :rolleyes:

Hello There,i had updated my i5801 to Froyo just last night....every things works great apart from the music player,the player app freezes when i try to play a song,Vibrates a couple of times and crashes altogether....This is really Frustrating.....Does it have any solution????????????Please help.....:(

[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
If you made a nandroid backup using clockworkmod (you should have), just do a full restore. ba-da-bing.

The acer recovery tool you mention is just for installing clockworkmod, it won't install a rom itself. clockwork mod does that.
[Acer Iconia A500] brewmaster:
i didn't create a backup so i guess i'm out of luck.
[Acer Iconia A500] gasparzim:
Maybe you are not... Dexter provided a stock rom on his first post here:

[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Check this post. flashing those 4 files (don't forget itsmagic), will put you at version 1.104.02_GEN1_COM (U.S. Stock).

Skip flashing the recovery if you don't want to lose ClockworkMod.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14967064&postcount=206

If you want a specific version, ask someone to uplaod a ClockworkMod backup of boot, system and flexrom and use ClockworkMod to restore it.
[Acer Iconia A500] brewmaster:
thanks euclid. I might try this later but i can't figure out itsmagic. I installed the clockworkmod recovery with acer recovery installer. Can i just boot into recovery after that and have itsmagic work?

edit: i got its magic running then did the steps in the post minus the recovery. when it was done the device rebooted and got stuck on the acer logo. after that i booted into clockwork and installed the 3.1 update.zip and now my tablet is working fine again.

i did. im friends with the tech at mine and he said it wasnt a good idea.

You are going to have to be patient and wait for an exploit to be found like the rest of us. I'm about ready to re-activate my old Palm Pre and use it until this gets figured out...the wifi tethering works GREAT on it and it was EASY to hack/install and OTA updates don't kill it.
