Okay well I tried that out and and am in a bit of a hole now. I don't have a camera app.

By relative terms, I'm a noob, so tell me what I did wrong. I renamed the BlurCamera.apk in system/app/ to BlurCamera.apk1 (and left the odex file alone) and moved the file you linked to that location as well. The permissions for the file were rw-r--r--. So I go to the app tray; no Camera app. I restarted my phone; no Camera app. I click on the BlurCamera app (the same one you linked us) and attempted to 'Install' it, resulting in 'Application not installed".

So at that point, I just wanted to undo everything so that I can have a functional camera again. I deleted the file you gave and renamed the original back to BlurCamera.apk. (If it's of any relevance, the permissions for that file are also rw-r--r--). No camera app in app tray and still nothing after a restart.

WHAT DO I DO?:confused:

Never mind. Took a couple power cycles.

Thankfully, original Camera app is showing up in the tray. But the one you linked didn't work for me.

thank you for the apk, however says install unsuccessful.
I'm using eclipse 2.0.
Thank you for the effort though, I had been looking for a better camera apk because it just seems like the stock one doesn't quite cut it. After my old htc evo shift and looking at iphone camera pics the motorola just isn't anywhere close as far as quality.

So I am a noob to doing this and I'm sorry if this is a dumb question or anything but how exactly do you do this? Thanks in advance.

Ok guys

First off have root access
Using root explorer go into system/app find your System cam make a copy of it(this is just in case it doesnt work) and put it somewhere you'll find easily.
DELETE THE ORIGINAL
Put the BLURCAM.apk in the same system/app folder

LOOK CLOSELY

You'll see that the PERMISSION aren't correct. CORRECT THEM. Just hold down on the BLURCAM.apk and go to set permission. It should be rw-r--r-- or something(phones bricked working on it) BUT its like this

. .
.
.

THREE CHECKS DOWN THE LEFT SIDE, 1 CHECK IN THE TOP MIDDLE

Then Reboot and enjoi

PS: If your cam disappears its probably your rom. Just do the same thing BUT WITH YOUR SYSTEM CAM

Then Reboot and enjoi

lol

Possibly a dumb question, but what exactly is this from?

Is this a blurcamera apk from a different device, different firmware version, etc?

I recently rooted my wife's bionic for her (updated to 901, running Eclipse), but she hasn't loved the camera on the phone in general, so I'd love to toy with different applications (system or otherwise) to see how much is hardware and how much the native app.

Just trying to find out a little more about the apk in this post.

Its the cam from the 5.8.894 update. In my opinion its the best Blurcam. There are just tad differences between .901 and this. I personally like the look. But it has better quality than the .901 cam, takes pictures faster, all that good stuff

Correct the permissions and your good to go.

And this is by far the best camera app out there. I've tried many and this one is super quick, no hesitation when taking a pic and will also work in conjunction with an aosp gallery, although i did rename the app to camera.apk from blurcamera.apk.

In my opinion the best camera app is the Camera ICS. I liked it so much I bought the app Camera ICS+. Very fast and great pics!!

Just go to the Play Market and search for it.

    I tried this awhile back when it was posted but couldn't get it to install, I tried several ways of installing and even changed permissions, but no luck.


    I have this file in my box account and can repost if needed.
