^^ I think these two camera apps should do the job:
FX Camera
Camera 360 Ultimate

@Sam: Ok, Oxygen then. Time for some research.

Thanx what about ROM?
Also these apps have more feature but what I want is better quality for regular picture and not extra features. I already have vignette and paper cmera for effects.

There is nothing. LG has not released Camera source code. So, none of the custom ROMs have a decent camera. If you want decent quality camera, then Stock ROM is the only option...

BTW, some people have suggested LG Camera in the Android market is quite good. It is a paid app, but works really well... I cannot vouch for it though...

[sam]

there is a free version too. downloaded just now. lg cam free

I hav successfully flasher CM7.2 Kang ROM N2 by Adfadd. Past two days working is smooth. Battery backup is same as stock GB 2.3.3. May be because of live wallpaper. But the problem is I am unable to log in to google account. It says some server problem. How to resolve this ?

[sam]

can you access internet through other apps? stock browser? try login using wifi connection. else do a hard reset.

[Tanveerpa]

I can access internet and I can browse using Opera Mini also. Even I can check my email using the stock or Opera browser. But to access Market I need to log in the exchage account, which I am unable to do. If I hard recet then I have lose all my contacts! Is there anything that also gets reset?

[Vyom]

Lol.. a hard reset will erase EVERYTHING. I mean it will erase all data. You can do one thing to save contacts. Just export it to sd card. The contents of card remains unaffected by the hard reset.

What do you mean by "Exchange Account"?

Are you using a regular email id ending with gmail.com? I don't think Google Market supports email accounts on custom domains.

[sam]

What do you mean by "Exchange Account"?

at times only exchange account is visible for signing in. i have experienced this many times & so asked OP to do a factory reset. even factory reset mayn't solve this. really no idea why this option comes.

try flashing Googleapps. That should solve your problem.

Me too faced the same problem once. But it was gone after flashing GAPPS

[Tanveerpa]

What google apps I should flash? A link or list will be more helpful for ppl like me.

I don't know how I invite so many weird problems! The latest one is related to Launcher Pro.

I installed the app. I was aware that when we press Menu button, it would ask for confirmation about which launcher to use, LG one or Launcher Pro. I didn't set default to any of them, since I first wanted to just try Launcher Pro. Then, since the prompt was frequent I set LG one as default. (thanks to my habit of procrastination.)

Now, I don't seem to set Launcher Pro as default, since their is no such option. I tried reinstalling Launcher Pro, still the prompt after pressing the Menu doesn't come!
Any suggestions as to how to set it as default?

[sam]

eaay. if you can't set launcher pro as default then remove lg launcher from default. how to do that? go to lg launcher in settings> applications. it'll be under all app section. open it & go a bit dow. after "move to sd card" & "clear cache" option there is "clear default". select it & you are done.

[Vyom]

^^ Thanks man! I found the option of "Clear Defaults" under those settings!
(I should have been more careful of those pop up messages that pops just for a fraction of second in tiny fonts!)


Now Launcher Pro is my playground for next few days!

[Gollum]

imo go launcher is better. especially if you want to hide some apps from meddling friends.

[AndroidFan]

I messed up my phone today...

As you all know, I am using Go Launcher Ex with ICS Theme...



To complete the theme, I needed an ICS style Dialer...

So, I got hold of exDialer with ICS theme... It was good...

But my god-damned phone does not remember defaults. It keep forgetting which of my apps are default after every restart.

So, I had a plan. Remove the default Dialer using Titanium Backup so that exDialer automatically becomes default. So, I took a backup of the default Dialer, incase something went wrong, and then proceeded to uninstall it.

As soon as I did that, I kept getting force closes. Phone was stuck in an FC loop... I had to pull battery.

After a restart, there were no FCs... But there was no network either... There was no choice but to restore the default Dialer. But Titanium Backup was just not able to restore from backup... I waited for 30 minutes... but didn't happen...

Finally, I had to reflash A8 ROM...

So, my question is... is there any way I can make my phone remember defaults? These bugs never get resolved...

Or, is there any way I can get ICS Dialer skinned on the default dialer? Maybe replace some system file or something like that?

Cheers!

[sam]

replace contact app of A8 with one from ICSLunarPro rom. i can try making a flashable zip but it'll only work with deoxidised rom.

Well, Launcher Pro also is providing the option to hide some apps.

Btw, using SWYPE! It's so fast if I have to type just english words!

Also, can someone tell, the process to follow to move some unmovable apps to card? I think I had read somewhere about its possibility.

You can use an app called home switcher to switch launcher seamlessly.
@androidfan,I think I know what exactly happened...the ics dialer was just a themed apk and it shares the lib file with the default dialer.
Titanium removed the default dialer apk along with the lib file rendering the themed apk useless.

Possible workaround(as I am not sure about your phone model)
Find that particular lib/ file from the original ROM and push it in the respective folder(I prefer ADB push over the messy RE)

I don't know whether A8 is deoxidised or not...

Thanks anyways...

It is odexed and deodexed.
Not deoxidised.
Deodexed means you can edit the service jar. files.
Odexed means each .apk/system has a corresponding .odex.
This system atleast on theory boots faster.
You can not edit service jar.files here.
Main disadvantage of Deodexed system is when the Dalvik cache is broken/formatted it takes a long time to build up again.

This is why the first boot of most custom ROM takes a long time.

DO NOT play with Titanium,it can be dangerous specially when you do not know the workarounds.

Root Explorer contrary to the popular belief is a much safer tool in inexperienced hands.

should have checked what i was typing. thanks for pointing.

contacts. extracted from themed rom. push it using adb or try replacing using root explorer.

i'll suggest using multirom. 1 rom in memory card & you can safely test new things without affecting your primary one.

[AndroidFan]

^^ Using Root Explorer... in /system/app folder, I see Contacts.apk and Contacts.odex

So, that means A8 is no deodexed.

But I am still going to try to push the file via ADB and see what happens. Will take a backup of the original file just in case...
-------------------------------------------------
UPDATE:

Didn't work... Pushed the file and replaced the original... But nothing happened...



So, maybe /system/app is not the location I should be looking at... is it some other folder?

[sam]

deodexed apps should work in an odexed rom. take nandroid backup & try deleting the contacts.odex file. check what happens.

maybe cause the .odex file existed, dalvik was calling the odex file instead of the integrated .dex file (now part of .apk as a result of deodexed). so once the odex is gone, contacts should show up as as a themed one.

You got it wrong completely!!
You had messed up the dialer's lib.
What are you trying to push?

Anyone!

[sam]

^^ i doubt this is possible.

[Vyom]

But I read something like this, "To make a partition in card, which would be like extended internal memory for the phone"! Can it be?
