(taken from here)
I didn't try though.

Isn't this $6.99 at the ovi store? I will hate to pay that much of money for a phone apps only to end up in your situation. Best of lucks.

edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/abettercamera.prerm and comment the line that begins with rmmod.

I read somewhere that A Better Camera was exactly the same as Bless900, which I already have and has proved to be useful in low-light situations. With the problems people are having with A Better Camera, should we uninstall Bless too, or is it safe to keep?

Any progress on the removal of this app? Thanks

a better camera is meant to be the same as blessn900, except with faster processing for images, which is already fast enough with blessn900.
ive had bless installed for a few months now with no problems at all, so it should be fine in most cases.
and for the op, good luck with whatever you do. but sorry i have nothing to say that could help you

The camera works well It has no problem at all. The problem was with the installation of the application. I suppose it wasn't packaged properly. Well Maybe it was because of the trying to merge fcam drivers installation with the abettercamera into 1 deb file that causes this.

I actually purchased " a better camera" for the following reasons

quicker image processing (4x)
ability to set as default camera app
more settings

also I saw it as an oppurtunithy to reward and encourage a developer who has written and published a good app for our platform, and also provides decent support as well as a decent free version.

Getting back to the matter in hand. I would google for the website and send support an email directly as you have purchased the app. they are extemely responsive and helpful. although you might not get an answer until they get back to work.
