you could re-flash the rom, I've never tried the camera hack so I'm not sure exactly what it entails or how to reverse it besides just starting over.

I'm new to flashing rom and stuff but does it erase all apps

Yes it would unless you back them up somehow.
Are you running a custom rom right now?

No stock rooted why?

I found this:
"Be careful in Service Mode that you know what it is your changing. If you hork up your phone you can reset it by doing a Factory data reset in Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset."
from here
but be careful, you'll need to reinstall your apps if you do that, but if you flashed the rom again you'd have to do that anyways.

Thanks ill probably try a new rom any recommendations preferably one with good battery

I've had great battery with Macnut R13.
I've actualy never had below 24 hours unplugged.
but fair warning: some people say the opposite so I may have just got lucky.
It seems to be about 50/50 have good battery life or dont lol
Also I hear great things about Team Whiskeys roms.
as well as Auxura (Although the guy developing the rom recently stopped development on it)
if you want to stay with 2.1 you might try team whiskey
or if you like 2.2 then any of the above would be great roms
everyone has their own opinion though so you might try a few before you find one you like alot.

Okay one more question... let's say I flash a rom right now... then flash another tomorrow... will the one I did the day before be completely erased when I flash a new one I've heard of people experiencing bugs and this happened ..

Generaly yes you should not have a problem.
but if you do run into trouble you can use odin to start clean, in fact alot of people prefer to use odin to get back to stock before flashing any rom.
but its up to you, I generaly only use odin if things start acting weird (which is next to never)

Wait... isn't Odin how you flash new roms?
Also can u link me to a good tutorial on flashing roms I'm trying to search it from my phone using xda app but its taking forever

no need to reflash just reopen SGS tools and click apple script/restore_camera.txt . thats it

Why you guys telling him to flash a rom. Just push the Camera.apk from the original ROM you have.

At least this thread will serve as a solution to the next person has this issue. Loved the title of this thread, had to respond.

So how did you get the stock camera back? Mine keeps restarting my phone I want to restore it but there is no restore.txt
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Go to your files app.. then sgstools folder there should be a app called camera.apk
Get root explorer go to system > apps and delete camera.apk and the one under it is like camera.odex delete that too.
Now use root explorer to go to sgstools and move camera.API to system apps then go clear all data foe camera app reboot. Done.

The new NBA Jam is just about as good i got it on the PS3

Installed 2.3.3 but...

Hi all, encouraged by all the positive comments about JPK I decided to go on and install it.
All went well, rooted without trouble then went back to the stock kernel. I restored all the apps and system data with Titanium Backup and suddenly the process com.android.systemui (the top taskbar) crashed. I rebooted the phone but the error stayed.
I tried reflashing but this time I installed the apps from scratch and used Titanium to restore the apps data, after that the system responded very stable until an hour ago when the com.android.systemui error and crash appeared again.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes?
I was on JPY before, I guess I'll try JS8 or go back to JPY
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
never restore system data unless whatever ur running is the same thing you were running when you did the backup.
I absolutely agree with you. That's why I flashed again with no system data restore. But the process crashed once more.
Thanks for your input Runedrune
Any other thoughts?

Best thing for contacts is to sync with Google. As soon as you sign in to market after wiping and flashing things all contacts are restored. Clean and simple and always on hand if you lose your phone.

I've had the same issues with TB, i used it in the beginning. But now i just keep a list of have-to-have apps and i sync my calendar & contacts with google.
I'm also running on 2.3.3, it runs much faster and smoother than 2.2, some lags but a lot less then stock 2.2.

As far as i know, but i could be wrong, you can only sync calendar & contacts via Google. So settings of your phone won't be backed up.
Success!! Thank you all for your suggestions. Gingerbread works smoothly now. Working through the first battery depleting cycles now, time will tell.
Sadly my car home app from samsung for the vibrant car dock doesn't work anymore. It does trigger car mode but it won't play the music through the dock's line out nor keep the screen on. Anyone else experienced this?
Maybe wait for a Gingerbread supported version of the app?

Camera not working

Flash a new rom and try again. If that doesn't work then it may be a hardware problem.

If your phone is under warranty then you'd do a warranty exchange. If it's not then you could buy a new camera assembly for it but that wouldn't guarantee to fix the problem as the hardware error could be on the main board somewhere. It's most likely a software problem. Since you're rooted you can just reflash the camera firmware.
Have you tried a 3rd party camera app?
Its been a few months since I rooted my cell, the camera was always working unroll the other day, and which apps are you talking about, and where would I get the drivers for my camera? And would a rom fix it?

Goto the market and download Retro Camera, it's free and while I don't personally care for it, if it can take pictures then you can prove that your camera hardware still works.
As for camera firmware you can try this, it's clockwork flashable and should work on 2.2 and 2.2.1 altho it is pulled from an older 2.2 build. Some people have had luck with it, other have not http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10952849/Camera-Stock-signed.zip Use at your own risk, I am not responsible if you phone slips into null space.
Assuming that your camera is not working because of a software glitch then yes, a new rom should fix the problem.
Thanks for the assistance, but retro camera won't work, said something about unable to set up and report my cell and model number to etc......ok, now that it has to be a hardware malfunction, how do I unroot and get the bloatware back on for the warranty?

NOOOO
What does it mean to Flash?
My version: It means you are going to replace your current system image/OS with one that you have downloaded from one of our wonderful developers.... you flash a rom by installing the .zip file you download from XDA or the developers site. You flash them using Clockwork Recovery (which is part of Rom Manager in the market)
XDA wiki: Term meaning to write something (usually a ROM image) to a non-volatile chip. The term originates from original chip writers (EPROM blowers) which used to write to a chip by fusing tiny areas in the chip making individual links either short circuit or open circuit.

If you want the newest YouTube app you have to be on 2.2+. I think there is a apk floating around but the last time I tried it I was getting FC issues when logging in. Maybe try searching the general section of Android games and apps to see if it has been fixed.
Good luck and let me know what you find.
