Manual install of Camera 2.0 apk? - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My z5c is rooted and running MM (build 32.2.A.5.11). Pretty sure I should be able to install & utilize Camera 2.0, but
(a) It never showed up for me in "what's new" (which I defrosted for the purpose) and
(b) when I try to install by clicking on the apk on the sd card, it launches the install process; but, then it stops and gives a simple (but unhelpful) "X App not installed." message.
Any ideas on how to force a manual install?
Thanks, Kirk
PS I have tried both the 2.0.0 apk which I believe is Android 5.0 and up as well as the 2.0.0-10003 one which purports to be Android 6.0+
Frustrating!

How do you rooted ur z5c e5823 pls i need help steo by step with links plsss

The latest firmware is Nougat .54. Its already include there afaik. Camera 2.0.0 isn't just the apk file, its also the libs and HAL that could have been modified, so just installing the app might not be enough.
Anyway, if the app you want - root and go to /system/app (or priv-app, i think it was priv-app) and replace the old Camera apk with the new one.

Thanks for the help. By what I have read, the app should be compatible with MM, not just nougat; now that the phone is old, maybe I'll try mucking around in the system files...
I actually did quite a bit of research before I posted. And, how can "Q&A, Help, and Troubleshooting" NOT be the place to ask this question? Am I totally missing something? This query seems to be perfectly placed (imho)

[Q][Player 4.0] Remics CM9

I have a few questions that I was wondering about. *I'm a noob at everything beyond rooting and flashing ROMs, so please don't kill me. Also, I can't post on dev forums, so please don't direct me to a dev forum to ask for help.*
A. Does anyone know if it would be safe to use the CameraFirmware.apk file from the IcyFusion ROM to make the camera functional in Remics UX for SGP 4? It is the same firmware even between ROMs because the physical camera hasn't changed, right?
B. How can I make the physical home button work? Is that involved or are there files I can just copy for a quick fix?
C. I noticed that gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip force closes even after I have flashed it. Which version is recommended for the Remics UX SGP 4 ROM?
Thanks in advance to any help you provide, and tell me if there is somewhere more appropriate for me to post this.
EDIT: I realise now that the United States version has a softkey home button, which is what I intended to say by physical home button.

Well... That list is inaccurate. If you do install it, all it provides is an activity to dump or update the camera firmware. You can verify that on any launcher that allows you to add shortcuts to arbitrary activities. If it is needed for any camera app, it is only on stock roms. For example, the SGP5 has that apk on stock, but the camera works in cm10 without it

Getting buttons to work is a kernel configuration issue. For GAPPS, make sure /system has enough space, and try flashing other ICS packages.

Installed it on my S4 and it worked GREAT. Thanks for doing this. My tablet is not one of the one's listed in on the DirecTV web site as a certified device so I can't even download it. I decided to give this a try and it works great.
Many thanks.

If Paul can add this to the toolkit, there is no need to modify the APK and we can keep the play store version installed.

It takes me two minutes to remove the root and custom rom check (as well as the other things that they check before allowing end user to use the app)
Sure he could do that, but he would have to update his code everytime the app is updated as well. (Package names change, app dev "attempting" to preform checks other ways therefore changing the code and so forth are many reasons I wouldnt think he would bother)
If you have a precaution about running an app that someone (in this case me) has modified (for any reason ) and you want to use the original application you know u can "hide root" with many third party apps, and its even possible with supersu. This way would allow you to use un altered app.
To recap, I have no problem with any additional solutions to reach the same end result. There are many ways to get the same result.
Cheers

4.3 broke a lot of apps...
That said, from a clean reboot ( simply for less cluter) run a logcat and launch app grab the failure and send it to me.

After some quick googling thats not an app or os problem but something on "thier" side of things.
Google " error code AR/1001" and you'll find what I found .

This mod work very well but i have little problem with version 2.0. I have lg l9 ii with stock 4.1.2 jb on it, version 1.0 work with viper4android and it sound great but when i installed version 2.0 on clean rom (ofc still 4.1.2 jb) system run good without any issues or fcs but after installing viper i cant run it...! I dont know why but viper cant just run, it is in app drawer but when i click it make screen black for 3 sec and come back to app drawer wiothout any screens or something, he should ask about su permissions and install drivers but this not happen. Ofc super su and busy box are installed and work good, dont know why it happen, i tried install viper later extreme and first extreme later viper in both ways still same problem. I come back to 1.0 because viper for me is a must, maybe you people know how to fix it. Installing viper as system app dont change anything, i tried to add viper drivers on my own by copying its file from old system to lib folder and adding necessary lines in audio_effect.conf but app still cant run

Anyone like that?

More specific please... EB version? do you have custom kernel installed or just stock kernel from rom? do you mount /system before flashing EB? The best way to install EB is after flashing the new rom. You need to mount /system then flashing EB. Reboot. After that install v4a and its drivers. Reboot again. If you follow that method and found it's not working try another version of EB. If the problem still persists, seems like it come from your rom side not supporting it.

After using this mod, I've realised that many apps on the play store doesn't recognise my device.
It shows that my device is incompatible with those apps.
How can i fix this ??
Please refer to the screenshots below, these apps used to work on stock lollipop but noe it shows incompatible
I also have this issue with the Play Store. I didn't check to see if it was this way with an odex fw because I deodexed almost immediately after installing LP because I must have my xposed =)
I did find this while scouring google for an answer...
"...this has to do with the new Android lollipop version. The app, you want to download is not designed for the new Runtime "ART", which is implemented with Android Lollipop. Therefore it is not possible to download the app. Remedy, unfortunately, can only be done by the programmer of the app."
Edit:
I figured out that deodexing all the apks caused this, not sure which exactly. I've created a mini deodex, found here, which has worked for myself and a few others.
how to fix the updating problem?
flash pre-rooted Lp on a locked BL xperia z2 get from canada Bell.
fully root and rec are both well done, also fixed the xposed bootloop....^_^
but there is a big problem....
Everytime I reboot the phone. System needs to updating the art-cache for all the apps in the system. it's like the first time I flash the rom...

Yeah, i know, but is there any way to fix this after we have deodexed it? Or do we have to restore backup made prior to the deodexing and flash the deodex rom again

To restore it, just flash the prerooted room again. You won't lose anything except recovery so after android loads, run byeselinux to regain recovery.

It would be nice if someone can port the stock launcher with app drawer to a rootless v20.
They released a reworked stock launcher with app drawer on the v30, and we are still running something that belongs to the android Lollipop days.

Samsung does a better job at this, they post all their apps on APKmirror, I remember having the s8 launcher, messages app, phone app... installed on my note 5 via apkmirror.
LG's software team is like 2 guys who spend most of their day trying to figure out how to make lg's skin like samsung. (and badly failing at it).
Also, if you read the review, everyone is praising the lgv30 as being the new underdog and whatever, the same as it was with the v20. Non of these reviewers actually use an LG phone, because none of them says anything about the POOR software support. It's terrible.
I know I might not post on topic but anyone know where can I find lg calander and lg clock?
Or someone can post it please
Thx
Would it be possible to install any of these apks in collaboration with the V20 stock apps?
For example; install V30 music player but keep the V20s stock player intact?

Maybe... If you can change the name of the APK. But even then it might have dependencies. Might butt heads

Hmm, I see.. Perhaps it would be possible to backup the stock V20 app in Titanium Backup and then replace with a V30 variant.

Don't know if that will work. Being you have doubles going on and conflicting. Doesn't hurt to try. What's the worst you can do.. won't open, force close..... Try adding a number to file and APK, anything that can create a double just change name by adding number, like, lgcam2 would be the V30. That way it doesn't conflict. Just a thought.

Just make a copy of the APK and any other files that are with it and save it somewhere else

Most like this would require one of the apk versions (v20 or v30) to have edits to the android-manifest of a decompiled apk. Reason being the package name of the apk's rarely change, even it the name of the app does.
So if you included both versions in the system, even if they were named differently, the system would get overloaded when it calls for a package and gets two answers.
Now l if the v30 apk's have new package names this could work without major edits. One way to check the package name is by using Tib and click on the app in question from the list. Then click on the section shown in the screenshots.
If the package names are different, easy stuff for someone to include both version, if the are the same, then you will need someone with more advanced knowledge of modding apks. I do not suggest the later for anyone unless you really know what you're doing.
Good idea though. I may look into adding some of thes options when i have more free time.
If anyone has installed a particualr v30 app and would like to see these options available in an Aroma pa kage or similar mod, post the details and we can put something together!
i've tried the most common way, downloading the system dump. extracting and push to the directory, LgHome, LGeasyhome, and lg backup launcher. set permission and reboot. now lg launcher FC, lol. i've already made a backup of those original apk/odex and restoring them. looks like we need experience porter since copy paste method didnt work.

I am happy to see people are reading and participating in development! That's what this place is about right?
Thank you for the words!
I would like to know if anyone can confirm any of the v30 apps work and if so which ones?
I only ask because I believe the v30 is running UX6 and wouldn't thing many of any apps would work for our older version UI.
I am sure the UX6 port rom would have better luck, but I am not sure since I haven't looked much into this.
Anyways, like I said, glad to see people making backups amd experimenting with different things!
Good job guys!
Btw, how did you create the backup? Just copied the files to a know location and tranger back via recovery or adb?
Or did you create a flashable zip?
If you don't have a flashable zip for easy recovery let me know and I cam send you a template zip and quick instructions on how to create the zip in seconds from your phone.
nahh.. i had no idea about making flashable backup even adb seems little hard for me. for testing launcher i've installer third party launcher and make a copy of everything inside /system folder. and put it back once i messed something

That is one way, however can get very time intense if you are changing out a batch of files with libs, xml etc.
For that I like the zip method. I have went ahead and written a quick tutorial for how to create the flashable zip and uploaded my zip template so you or anyone who needs it.
Check this post.
Good luck and feel free to reply in that thread for any questions
Has anyone tried v30's music player?
Does it has any improvement against v20's?
So do any of these apps work? Anybody tried them?
