JoyOS apps on CM7 or stock ROMs

---

After trying JoyOS ROM I really liked the camera and notes applications. When I then moved on to try both CM7 and stock-based ROMs I wondered if I could use the JoyOS camera and notes applications on them. I found that I could install them without any trouble, simply by extracting the appropriate APK (listed below) and in a file manager, clicking on them and choosing "Install".

The interface of the camera application is very clean and provides a lot of space for the preview image. Unfortunately the settings causes a FC when in camera mode but strangely it seems to work OK when in video mode. Go figure!

What I like about the Notes application is that for each note you can quickly switch between a standard note or a checklist. So you can use one application for both purposes. Also included are two (2) widgets.

I'd love to know how to get the Clock application working because unlike the stock Samsung clock application it offers a stopwatch, timer and world clock. Unfortunately the cities' labels in the world clock are in Chinese but the timer and stopwatch functions look good and work well. At the moment I'm using a combined stopwatch and timer app but honestly, I prefer the JoyOS one.

might not work, so backup first, but copy the clock app into system/app set permissions to r-w-r--r-- delete the previous clock if you havent, then reboot. you can move the original clock to sd card and if not work, then just put in system app and set permissions

I haven't yet tried the clock app according to alkspo's instructions but I'm happy to share the Notes and Camera apps.

You're welcome. The apps I have shared were extracted from the JoyOS 1.2.2 ROM available in the S5660 Development thread.
