Root Evo 4g Camera App APK

I had to change the permissions on the new apk before this would work. Used Root Explorer and basically changed the permissions to match the rest of the apks in system/app. Running Virtuous 2.3 w/stock kernel.

what did you set the permissions to?

nm i got it...thanks
 
I'm too late, but for posterity:

I just checked what the permissions were on other files in /system/app/ and applied permissions thusly:

User: Read, Write
Group: Read
Others: Read

usually things like this require a de-odexed rom since its a de-odexed file

There were a couple of people further up in the thread that said they had the deodexed version and it still didn't work.

Thats an interesting find. I run Linux and just grabbed it out of the frankenrom zip. I bet when it uploaded and windows users downloaded it the permissions went back to default windows and thats where the issue lies...

Can anyone whom this didn't work for before go into an adb shell and do:

chmod 644 /system/app/HTCCamera.apk
Click to expand...
and see if it fixes the problem.

Hmmm, so i moved HTC camera to app.disabled, pushed the new HTCcamera to app
Permissions were already set to

User: Read, Write
Group: Read
Others: Read

But neither the camera or camcorder even show up in my app list, did i miss a step?
 
Yeah, a couple of times, im running Virtuous 2.3 btw, trying again using root explorer instead of recovery
 
Success! Redownloaded the file and noticed the size was much larger than last time, copied it via root explorer, permissions were all out of wack, set to

User: Read, Write

Rebooted and bingo,

Many thanks all, and Root Explorer is now the second app ive paid for and been very happy with!

(BW was the other lol)
 
I also got it working on Fourth Wave by changing the permissions using Root Explorer and rebooting. Thanks for this one!
 
Nevermind - after about 10 tries it finally worked

Any mirrors for the file?


Sorry, we can't find "http://www.filedropper.com/htccamera". Please check the spelling of the web address.
 
I would make a zip installer for this, but I have no idea where to start. If someone else doesn't get it done before tonight ill try to figure out how to go about doing it.
 
Please help... I used titanium backup to remove the original camera app then tried to use astro to install the new one and it keeps failing. Any suggestions?
