I can't seem to get it to work. How do I install it? I can't install the apk on my phone. I would love to take photos with the power button. Would be nice if you could help me out how I could make this work. I'm new to SGS, have been using it for 2 days and yes I'm rooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mr_at_sgs:
This is a system app. It has to be moved to /system/app

But much easier you can get it working with sgs tools. Download it from market and upgrade stock apps.

By the way, there is a Bug in Galery, pics made with sgs are fully filled in the rectangle. There is a black bar on the right side.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] donsasan:
Is there any chance to integrate RAW photo mode? I hate the compression!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ibahungrig:
Hmm, can't seem to find /system/app so i can put the .apk in there when I connect it to my PC. Maybe I should create a new folder with that name?

Hey mate, i applyed this app with Sgs tool, and now my camera app is gone!!!!! what should i do?

Sent from my Galaxy S
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fr4gg0r:
apply again. Probably a faulty download :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ibahungrig:
Could u explain a little bit better how I can get it to work? I've got that sgs tool 3.7.2. Then I click Move sgstools: Data <==> System, after that my phone reboots and nothing happens. Have made a folder called System/app and then i have the .apk file in there. Still i can't take photos with the power button.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fr4gg0r:
Lol version 3.72 :D

Get the newest version from market, that is 4.0.9
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ibahungrig:

(Easiest) install instructions:

Root your phone (using one of the many rooting tools).

Download "SGS Tools" from the market (not yet run it).

Download "BusyBox" from the market and run this program to download and install busybox.

Then open SGS Tools, select "Upgrade stock apps" and then press on "Hacked Camera.apk".

It should change the camera app with the hacked version. It will remove any shortcut to the camera on your homescreen but you can just add it again from the applications drawer.

You can uninstall the hacked app by chosing the corresponding script in SGS Tools.

Works great!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] s_o_r_e_n:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] opica:

You need SGS Tools 4.0.9 or the newest version from this thread.

Camera Issue.

Thanks for all your hard work, this modded camera has made its way into almost every rom on the captivate forum. But it causes a slight issue when used in addition to the "Advanced Power Menu" that also is in almost every rom.

-When you hold the power button to focus (in auto focus mode of course) the advanced power menu will come up interfering with taking the picture.

Can the camera.apk be changed to take EXCLUSIVE control over the power button? so the advanced Power Menu doesnt come up, or switch off the A.P.M.? or modify both mods to work with eachother? shouldnt be hard to program in a simple switch.

this would be awesome if it were fixed, as I said above these 2 mods are in almost every rom now..

Hi Fr4gg0r,

Can you hack the camera so that it takes panorama pictures in full resolution?

I am a experienced programmer myself and maybe i will give it a shot but never really programmed in java, i have used dex2jar and i can see the jar source code with jd-gui, is this the way you guys extract apks source? then you compile with android sqk and eclipse right?

HELP

I tried installing the hacked camera using the SGS tools app. But seems something went wrong while downloading. Maybe my data connection went off or something and it didn't install properly. Now i have no camera app. Atleast not the inbuilt camera app. It's missing from the App Drawer and also cannot be called up by any other app like Gallery. I installed Lightbox as a workaround, but i'll still want my original camera back. Any tips??

Am on custom rom from romkitchen.org. 2.2.1.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] marko-mb:
my first camera.apk was great. more than year ago preinstalled on galaxy s.

It had PAUSE button for video recording.

I am searching for it for days and cannot find it. even custom ROMS dont have it.

I reallly need this option in video recording. since i have no time to download all clips to pc and than merge them etc etc. On first galaxy S system this was great. I made a movie using pause. and then just upload to youtube from phone.

anyone knows where to fing this camera? or which camera has it?

Both versions rooted with SuperOneClick 1.9.5 psneuter.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] frauhottelmann:
This is pretty great, but unfortunately you have to focus before by tapping on the screen, if it would focus and when you let go it takes the picture... But then it wouldn't work, because the power menu opens up. Would that work with other buttons? That would be very usefull.

Gonna enable now focusing when pressing power key.

ok cool..

about your new change.. i thought the power key was already to take pictures? why change that?

Is there anyway to have this work on 2.1??
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fr4gg0r:
First version used the volume keys, the second uses the power key.

Btw: New version (3) :D

Some people in captivate forum complained about the missing auto focus when using the power key. I'm not sure if it now focuses before taking the picture. Please give feedback. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fr4gg0r:
Did you try it?

The app requests 2.1 in its manifest, but the target sdk is 2.2.

So it could work, simply try it.

Edit:

According to this

from Vibrant forum, it should work. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Caliesv:
Lol yeah. I tried with the tools app, and it says, "need 2.2 for this fix". And I tried the direct app from this thread, and it said it can't install it. It downloads with no issue, but won't install.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fr4gg0r:
woops, true.

The sgs tools app won't let you download anything if you are on 2.1

edit: only downloads? ok I gonna allow 2.1...

The captivate has a special version, see the thread in the captivate forum.

@all:

Do not install it, that cannot work.

You have to push it to /system/app/ and overwrite the old version.

If it does not work via sgs tools make sure you have busybox.

Seems as if only 2.2 is supported.

I would also love to be able to use a hard key for video camera. In my sig I have explained the perfect setup for myself but the power key would be just as good :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] buddy17:
there is no difference in the pictures if you simply tap both buttons....but the on-screen button has the ability to be held, which focuses the picture and then snaps it automatically when it is focused. If you try and hold the power button to focus it, it pulls up the power menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fr4gg0r:
power key long press can be intercepted, but at the moment no idea how to block the shutdown popup.

Seems impossible.

Long press on volume keys for focusing and then release for taking picture should be possible. :p

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fr4gg0r:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Wesku:

Would it be possible to add start video recording by poewr button? And try to improve image/video quality by reducing the compression?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rafalense:
Talking about SampleRate, of course :) But BitRate should be obviously increased as well, as 64Kb is not good enough

By the way, yesterday I was modifying /system/etc/media_profiles.xml, and my conclusion was, our i9000 doesn't use it at all, even I deleted it and reboot, and camera still working as expected :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Fr4gg0r:
Should be possible, but I do not dislike the feature to block the ui, when recording.. :rolleyes:

Should be possible (if hardware & driver are capable of it), but I don't know how to change it for 720p only, so it would effect all resolutions..
