When I flash this ROM, looks like everything is fine... but for some reason I can't get some applications to work (and yes, they work in the donor ROM). In this case, when I try to run the camera application it says:

"The file 'Camera' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."

So, all I did was dump and recook... no changes. So I have no clue why the camera app is no longer working... Any ideas?

I assume you grabbed the camera OEM out of a disassembled rom? Sometimes OEM's you take from another rom's \SYS folder are missing a couple of things.
1. If they were cooked with the ppckitchen, this strips out the needed RGU files.
2. All methods take the initflashfiles.txt and append it to the initflashfiles.dat file located in ..\OEM\OEM_Lang_0409 folder.
Somewhere there are some registry edits that also relax the security. But my bet is your missing the initflashfiles.txt file and files aren't getting copied to where they need to be.

According to above, you didn't add anything? Just broke it down and reflashed?
