They want to see the software hoolio. by the way, why not check out the program yourself! OP has provided an original version for crying out loud. This is not some ram hack or jit hack. Have fun! :)

Captive Camera with Vibrant Icon

Heres a Captive camera with Vibrant Icon...

Should work, let me know...

Just install stock camera first, then run this update

BTW make sure you are rooted!
[Vibrant Android Development] koreanjhee:
Works marvelously. Thank you. Better camera with better icon. :)

Sent from my Vibrant, Samsung
[Vibrant Android Development] darkknight49:
awesome man! I'll have to try this when i get home.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Works great here. I like it better also..
[Vibrant Android Development] johnny12times:
Had issues flashing the first time, just hung, but reflashed, works great! Much preferred to stock. :) Thanks for the work!
[Vibrant Android Development] yipcanjo:
Wow! Definitely better than the stock Vibrant camera app. I was showing my (iPhone-toting) friend all of the SCENE options, and he was pretty jealous. However, we both noted how difficult it was to get to them! Consider that issue *fixed* :)

One thing: it appears that this camera stores the photos in a different location than the Vibrant camera app did. Any way to fix that, or should I just manually drag all of my old photos to the new location?

One more "one thing": does the Captivate have a different Gallery app? I actually really like the included Gallery program, except that it sorts via "oldest" files first. Totally insane.

Yip

****EDIT*****

Holy crap! All of my photos were previously in a folder called "Photos", while the new camera was placing them in a folder called "Camera" -- both under the DCIM folder. Anyhow, I grabbed all of the pictures under "Photos", moved them under "Camera", and deleted the old Photos folder. Relaunch the Gallery app and now all of my photos are in the proper order -- newest first!

I don't understand it, but I certainly like it a lot!!! :)

Thanks again for an awesome app update.
[Vibrant Android Development] the3dman:
Great find made the camera way better.
[Vibrant Android Development] raduque:
If I rename this to update.zip can I use the stock recovery to flash this? I haven't bothered to install another recovery, 'cause I really don't need or want one.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
I wonder if the pics are fuzzier? The Captivate is a lot less sharp than the Vibrant. Does this change anything else?
[Vibrant Android Development] stepinmyworld:
THANKS!!!

Realllly appreciated! Very simple and intuitive. It would be nice if devs make youtube videos more often just for a visual.
[Vibrant Android Development] andeeroid:
Nice thing! I like it a lot, but one thing kept me off the Captivate Camera App...

When I was using Stock Vibrant Camera App, the photos taken were put into 'Photos' folder and the videos to 'Videos' folder

But using Captivate Camera App, whether it was a photo or a video they were all put into 'Camera' folder in the result, in the gallery I could see the 'Camera' folder with photos and videos all together. So I have to deal with seeing photos and videos in one folder in the gallery if I use Captivate camera App....(unless I manually seperate them in the file manager, but I cannot manage to do that everytime I shoot a photo or a video)

it really has better organized camera setting in my opinion, could you make it so it will seperate photos and videos automatically? :)
[Vibrant Android Development] jrharvey:
Wow the Captivate camera app is soooooo much better. WOW. I am glad I fond this thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] tissimo:
Store pics on external and videos on internal?
[Vibrant Android Development] mikey98277:
Thanks for this, I downloaded both just encase I also wanted to revert back to stock, but there is no way Im going back, the menu buttons are so much easier here, well at-least now i can change to night mode in 2 clicks, rather than the 5 click it took before, well that and trying to remember where that setting was berried at.
[Vibrant Android Development] andeeroid:
No, I meant

pics on 'Photos' folder

videos on 'Videos' folder

with Captivate camera app both pics and videos are placed under 'Camera' folder, so in the gallery you see 'Camera' gallery with all the pics and all the videos mixed together. Not that it's game breaking problem, but it'd be cooler to just have them separated.

or...am I the only one who's having this problem with Captivate Camera App ? :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] KerryG:
I was a little skeptical about this but as soon as I tried it I could see why people like it. Thanks a lot.
[Vibrant Android Development] KerryG:
While the interface is nicer and the video works better, the still images SUCK! The largest size it will shoot is 800x480 while the stock Camera app will do 2560x1920. While I was impressed at first, this is a serious problem for me as I take pictures every day with this camera and the low resolution is a showstopper. Its back to the stock app for me.

UPDATE: I didn't notice the resolution screen had multiple pages...duh
[Vibrant Android Development] CappyQ:
...Nope, not seeing that behavior. I can choose any of the normal resolutions.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lunatixz:
I have no problems taking photos at the Max 5mpx resolution... check your settings.
[Vibrant Android Development] reetska:
Umm...you know you can change the resolution in the settings right? The Captivate camera App is so much smoother.
[Vibrant Android Development] KerryG:
Yes I know I can change settings and the only settings were 800x480 and 640x480. I flashed back to default, and got all the regular settings. If you are getting them all I will reflash it and try again.
[Vibrant Android Development] speoples20:
You were on the second page, hit the up arrow to show the rest of the resolution settings.
[Vibrant Android Development] KerryG:
DUH!!!! I didnt notice the resolution screen had multiple pages. Ok, I officially feel like an idiot.
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
I have the full set of resolutions.

This is probably where you lost your way.
[Vibrant Android Development] ConceptVBS:
Might want to edit your original post to prevent you from looking more like an idiot. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] mikey98277:
Just wanted to chime in again and say i just found out it sorts the pictures by most recent , something the vibrant camera software didnt do, one more reason to love it.
[Vibrant Android Development] brodie7838:
So I'm definitely missing something here:

-Download

-Rename zip to 'update.zip' and place in /sdcard

-Using either Clockworks or Recover Mode, install update.zip

-Appears everything installs fine as there are no errors in the scrolling text

-Reboot, and I still have the stock Vibrant camera app.

Any ideas? I've tried this on 2 Vibrants with the same issue, so surely it's something I'm doing.

Specs:

Samsung Vibrant, Stock 2.1, Rooted, 2.3 Ryan Lag Fix

(These are the only changes I've made to this phone, otherwise it's literally fresh out of the box.)
[Vibrant Android Development] chaoscentral:
don't think it works under stock recovery, but you shouldn't have to rename it if you are using clockwork recovery, which to get into clockwork that has to be called update.zip, so try naming it back to what it was and flash from that.
[Vibrant Android Development] Superfrag:
Works brilliantly. Stock 2.1 firmware, rooted, Ryanza's fix applied.
[Vibrant Android Development] brodie7838:
I ended up restoring my phone to stock using Odin (unrelated), and tried it again using the same method I detailed in my previous post, and it worked fine hehe. :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] itsjusttim:
Thank you so much for this MOD! This is in many ways better than stock vibrant camera. On screen info on this is great..

Typos/Nonsense due to Swype!

Stock Root + RyanLagFix + Captive Camera
[Vibrant Android Development] Paxtez:
Works great, I didn't even know I needed this mod. Thanks!

-- Vibrant / Rooted / One-Click Lag Fix --
[Vibrant Android Development] SykesAT:
Huge improvement. This is the way I thought the app should have been designed. Glad it was for at&t. Thanks for giving it to us.
[Vibrant Android Development] joshthewaster:
Didn't know if I would really like this but it is awesome! Worked great on the first try, menus are much better, taking a pic and just going straight back to shooting mode, the sorting of the gallery. All better than stock.
[Vibrant Android Development] ntellegence:
First off thank you smarter than me people out there. I'm a noob and don't know how to flash. (used search. Read. Still don't get it.) Can someone spell this out for me. Can I just install the apks with astro? Thanx in advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] Paxtez:
I did it via the update.zip method.

1) copy the zip to the root of the internal sd card, and rename it: update.zip

2)reboot into recovery, power off, hold vol+, vol- and power.

3)choose reinstall packages.

-- Vibrant / Rooted / One-Click Lag Fix --
[Vibrant Android Development] ntellegence:
I can do that. Once again thanx.
[Vibrant Android Development] ntellegence:
Did not work. Exactly where do I need to copy update.zip to?
[Vibrant Android Development] ntellegence:
Is there a thread for noobs that explains the basic terms and processes? For example how to flash, how to do things with a mac etc. if not someone need to get writing and call a publisher.
[Vibrant Android Development] yipcanjo:
To your /sdcard folder -- same place where the DCIM (photos) folder lives. When I mount my phone to the PC, I get two folders for my phone -- one where the Avatar movies lives, and the other with a bunch of stuff on it. The one with a bunch of stuff on it is the drive you want. Copy "update.zip" to the root of that folder, restart into recovery, and then choose "install a .zip from sdcard".

Hope that helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] pinoiryder:
thanks for the app.. works better than the stock.. just wondering.. since the vibrant has the 8.1 mega pixel.. it looks like the pictures are only up to 5 mega pixels.. has anyone notice these?
[Vibrant Android Development] jrharvey:
Vibrant is only 5 megapixel.
[Vibrant Android Development] dsuycott:
This really works great! I love it.... thanks Ray =)
[Vibrant Android Development] ntellegence:
Still won't work. It says installing then installation aborted. Changed the name to update.zip and moved to internal sd.
[Vibrant Android Development] yipcanjo:
You may want to re-download the .zip. Sounds like yours is munged.
[Vibrant Android Development] ntellegence:
Still won't work. Update.zip worked fine when I rooted. Now installation aborted.
[Vibrant Android Development] isyiwang:
You need to use Clockwork Recovery. Download Rom Manager and install Clockwork Recovery. The installation abort problem is characteristic of the stock recovery :/
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
THANKS a lot, this app is much easier to use :)
[Vibrant Android Development] paxton:
Is everyone who has installed this seeing pics displayed most recent first? After the update I'm still oldest first, was hoping that would have changed.
[Vibrant Android Development] oquinones:
I'm having a problem with the video camera constantly focusing and getting blurry. It focuses and then it stays for 2 seconds and gets blurry and then it starts the routine over again. Is that a Vibrant issue or the Captivate camera software issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Um.... Yeah. While I wish it was 8.1 the vibrant is only 5 mp.
[Vibrant Android Development] zoid_99:
Works great! Much faster than stock. Seems to focus better as well?
[Vibrant Android Development] bweed83:
not sure if it was me messing up or if this is a common occurence but when i went to flash the zip with clockwork my phone froze, a reboot and retry was all it took to fix it but i thought i would let people know.
[Vibrant Android Development] samoelito:
works perfect, thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] tjhart85:
Thanks for the up.

Captivate menu seems really cluttered though. Going back to the stock Vibrant. I'll show the gf though, she might like the captivates settings more than I do.
[Vibrant Android Development] FLACvest:
IM EMPHATICALLY thankful!!

I just flashed the Captivate Camera to my freshly rooted Vibrant...

I'm pretty much Overjoyed at how much better the Captivate UI is and how much simpler, yet more efficient, the layout of everything is in the Captivate Camera UI. It honestly beats the pants off of the Vibrant Camera UI. IMHO... :-D

I rly like the quicker accessability to the advanced features compared to as you say the 'drill down' effect which I too noticed in the Vibrant Camera...

Thanks.

Best In Any Manner Of Things,

-FLACvest
[Vibrant Android Development] Zemnexx:
The Captivate camera software is indeed much better. It is all around faster and more stable. A little more cluttered in comparison, but that's just because it offers a lot more information. I am very happy with it.
[Vibrant Android Development] bangsters:
Hey.... is there a way I can get this to install on my rooted HTC phone? I'm using an HD2 with CM6 build, and everytime I try to install it, it won't install. When I tried to install it via adb I get this error: INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES

Any suggestion? I really hate the stock camera of nexus1

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] willmatic:
wow you weren't kidding. This is a huge improvement over the stock Vibrant app. Thanks a lot!
[Vibrant Android Development] ktwebb68:
Interesting how tastes differ. I've played with the captivate camera on a friends phone at work. Not in a million years would I swap from my Vibrant's camera. It's actually one of the few things I'd keep from the stock Vibrant OS. But I don't understand why people don't like the calendar and messaging app either so go figure. Two more things that are an incentive to keep vibrant software over the competition in my opinion.
[Vibrant Android Development] hydrenalin:
Thanks. I like the menus and layout much better than the stock Vibrant. I have just one questions: Can you save the pics to external SD? I have a 8g microSD I was saving my pics to but now the option is grayed out and will only let me save it to the phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] bangsters:
bump anyone please???
[Vibrant Android Development] chaoscentral:
should be the same way you do it in the vibrant's software, settings, second tab, second page, save location changed to memory from phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] ags29:
Ok so I just rooted my phone like minutes ago (that was easy). That is, if taking screenshots with ShootMe and making a Nandroid backup are valid ways to verify that you're rooted?

Now, I followed the instructions for this and I rebooted and now have captivate camera but my photos in the gallery are still sorted in reverse (oldest first) :(

Am I missing anything? Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] j_r0dd:
first of all, this is NOT for your phone! INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES because it is a system app. you can always sign it and install it. justsaying.
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Thanks a lot. Just installed this on the latest leaked T959UVJI4 and works just fine. I wonder if Captivate got update for this app. and if it did, how difficult would it be to port it?
[Vibrant Android Development] jayprime:
Just install using my rom manager. It was very easy to do. I like it a lot better than my stock camera.
[Vibrant Android Development] IwannaKnow:
i can't seem to figure this out. i have the zip file in my sd card. yet when i go in the recovery mode, and install it from sd. it says something like E: can't open file or something.

or when i do it manually, and search for the zip in my sd while in recovery mode, it says no file found.

am i being oblivious to something or did i screw up somewhere along the way?

thanks for the time :)
[Vibrant Android Development] flashman2002:
You can't install this through Recovery mode on the phone. The op says to install through ROM manager, do you have that installed on your phone? That is a different setup from the phone recovery mode.
[Vibrant Android Development] stringbeans:
Just a warning, this seems to have removed the ability to capture an image using the front facing camera on the samsung galaxy s i9000m vibrant (bell network)

i'll probably be flashing back to stock because of this :(
[Vibrant Android Development] flashman2002:
That is probably because the I897 does not have a front facing camera so that may not be written into the program.
[Vibrant Android Development] stringbeans:
yeah i had a feeling that was the case..

so my question now is.. the "stock" vibrant cam software posted is probably the stock software that came with the tmobile version of the vibrant. i'm using the bell version (i9000m) with the ffc.. will the "stock" version posted in this thread have the ability to use the ffc?

EDIT: just tried it, the stock version attached to this thread is meant for the tmobile version of the SGS and does NOT have the ability to use the FFC.

:(:(:(
[Vibrant Android Development] Master™:
Is there another way to do this, because ClockWork doesnt seem to work for me.

And yes i'm rooted..
[Vibrant Android Development] epakrat75:
Worked fine here. You could try pushing it through ADB, perhaps using Root Explorer (or similar app) might work, etc.
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Thanks a lot for the JI2 version. I am running it on JI4 without any problems :)
[Vibrant Android Development] SmlngBndit:
Great job on Camera app. First time posting, and I have to say that you have made it simple to understand. Thanks again
[Vibrant Android Development] jreed3786:
Slow I/O....low linpack, with or without kernel.

I'm coming from a Mytouch Slide and am on J15 stock rom and flashed this, yet STILL have extremely low quadrant numbers...it lags on the I/O test...and spits out 900 scores. What gives? I have all of my items on the internal memory...and a 2 GB sdcard with no ext partition. Where am I messing up? Thanks, devs, for everything!
[Vibrant Android Development] dbm0361:
Its nice add on but on ji5 ji6 you can pinch zoom on pics right after you take them and it seems to focus better
[Vibrant Android Development] chaoscentral:
Ummmm, think you got the wrong thread there skip
[Vibrant Android Development] tjhart85:
Captivate JI5 or Vibrant JI5?

Basically, are you asking for an updated version or are you saying the new Vibrant version is better than this because of the reasons you specified?

I have Vibrant JI5, but immediately flashed to the Captivate camera (I know earlier in this thread I said I was going to flash back to stock Vibrant, but I gave it another shot & this is nice).
[Vibrant Android Development] chaoscentral:
I tested out the Captivate camera from their latest OTA with GPS fix, and it is still the same.
[Vibrant Android Development] stephenwithph:
Is anyone else having problem with rotation? When I am taking the photo upright the orientation of the photo is in landscape.

I am on bionix 1.6 rom. And I tur

ned off rotation of my phone in general.
[Vibrant Android Development] DmdFreak:
I loved this mod before the OTA update. Is this still a better option than the current J16 update?
[Vibrant Android Development] nacron:
Does this remove the HD Camcorder from the J16 update?
[Vibrant Android Development] DmdFreak:
that's what I was trying to ask lol
[Vibrant Android Development] tjsynkral:
I am unsure if it removes the icon from the drawer, but the Captivate camera app definitely supports 720p video recording.
[Vibrant Android Development] Ultraman666:
Hd

I will try and see if this takes the icon away, will let ya know
[Vibrant Android Development] zerosource:
that's what I wanted to know!
[Vibrant Android Development] nacron:
Any news with the flash?
[Vibrant Android Development] Ultraman666:
Icon goes away
[Vibrant Android Development] Lamchops3:
Could we possibly get the ji6 of both the Vibrant and Captivate?
[Vibrant Android Development] chaoscentral:
does the captivate update (2.1, not leaked 2.2) have the separate icon as well?
[Vibrant Android Development] S4BRE2121:
Very nice thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] IuNlockeM:
ill try this out. i kinda don't like stock camera.
[Vibrant Android Development] Ultraman666:
Anyone have this yet??
[Vibrant Android Development] realcyberbob:
Has anybody tried this, or know if it works, with Eugene's leaked 2.2 froyo rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] drhonk:
Camera works when taking picture but crash when using it as video recorder. I can upload one that works if you still interested.
[Vibrant Android Development] realcyberbob:
Yes please :)
[Vibrant Android Development] drhonk:
Here you go, just flash it with CWM.

[Vibrant Android Development] realcyberbob:
Awesome, thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] riprod720:
Problem...

Flashed this after reading the first few pages and it sounded like a good find. Problem is, now the camcorder ALWAYS force closes after button is pushed to start. I am using the T959UVJK2 ROM on the Vibrant, and didn't see anything specific as far as ROM requirements go. Any suggestions on how to get orignal software for this ROM back? Searched google to no avail. Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

***EDIT*** Read to the end of thread, found file I needed, then punched myself repeatedly in the face for not being thorough in the first place! Sorry for wasting space on the thread. Have a nice day.
[Vibrant Android Development] Lamchops3:
Nothing yet? What about if I say pretty please?
[Vibrant Android Development] jrharvey:
All you have to do to get the camcorder working with 2.2 is flash the captivate 2.2 camera. Works perfect for me. Ive uploaded the file here.
[Vibrant Android Development] feelx77:
This is the Captivate Camera app but changed the icon back to the original Vibrants stock black icon. Some preferred the look as myself over the bright white icon in some ROMS. I flashed this onto my Obsidian V4.2 ULF no problems tested on my end.
[Vibrant Android Development] genaropr:
thanks you nice mod
[Vibrant Android Development] mochii:
can someone explain how to flash the zip? when i boot in recovery, i have reboot, reinstall, etc. am i suppose to see something like apply sd-card:update.zip?
[Vibrant Android Development] realcyberbob:
Are you using ClockworkMod Recovery? If not, use it, then you will have more options like flashing a .zip file.
[Vibrant Android Development] mochii:
yeah, i have rom manager and flashed the latest clockwork mod recovery recovery. then i just reboot into recovery right? is there anything i have to do while i reboot?
[Vibrant Android Development] realcyberbob:
If it takes you to the stock recovery instead of ClockworkMod recovery, choose reinstall packages (I think that's the name of the option). Then it should take you to ClockworkMod recovery, once there I would perform a backup first then flash the .zip.
[Vibrant Android Development] mochii:
and if clicking resintall packages simply reboots, i just boot into recovery from rom manager again and reinstall packages again right? then, i should be in clockworkmod recovery?
[Vibrant Android Development] lphillips80:
yup you should be in green clockwork recovery.
[Vibrant Android Development] realcyberbob:
Yep, that should work.
[Vibrant Android Development] mochii:
i just rebooted into recovery three times and did reinstall packages 3 times, but it still just boots me into the home screen instead of one with a update option. what am i doing wrong?
[Vibrant Android Development] realcyberbob:
Is your phone rooted? If so, I would delete ClockworkMod, reinstall it, and try again. The program should place a update.zip file in the root folder of your internal memory, I would check that too after you try everything again.
[Vibrant Android Development] mochii:
Yeah its rooted. and i already have an update.zip on my internal memory. but ill try a re-installation.
