Root [MOD]Captivate Camera Software on Vibrant

[chaoscentral]

Now some may ask why I would want to do this? Well I watched a few video reviews on the Captivate, and I noticed their camera software was different, the menus were layed out differently, and honestly they are better organized.

You can switch scene modes with a button on the left side instead of drilling down into settings>page 2>scenes

The video recording is much better, it actually records as soon as you press the button instead of having to wait a few seconds before it starts recording. It also stops as soon as you hit stop with no delay or lag like there was on the stock software.

Overall I think it improves an already awesome camera.

Still has all the same camera modes and scene modes as the vibrant, so you won't be losing anything by flashing this

Installation:

• Copy zip to internal SD
• Reboot into Clockwork MOD recovery
• Flash zip
• Reboot and Enjoy!

you are supposed to flash it from the Clockwork Recovery, not the stock recovery

if you are trying to do it from the rom manager, use the top option first the "flash clockwork recovery" option, let it download so it says you have version 2.5.0.4 then select reboot into recovery, and go from there. make sure its on your internal memory

Multiple reviews have said the camera on the Vibrant is actually better than the Captivate due to the software. I am not a camera guy but they say the software on the Vibrant compresses and renders images better than the Captivate.

would it be possible to put the vibrant software on the captivate?
