what about removing x -flag from camera-ui ? would that trigger the reboot loop?
you might be able to fight the loop by flashing your device to RD mode but I am not sure.

How about removing user from the video group in /etc/group ?
That will deny access to the camera hardware.

I doubt any software disable would be enough to convince your college authorities. How would they know that you wouldn't reenable it later?
To be honest, it sounds to me like the college will have a very hard time enforcing this. Most phones have cameras now.

Just set permissions on camera device (somewhere in init scripts, after udev is settled in). It's a UNIX
chmod 000 /dev/video*
chmod 000 /dev/omap_preview_hack
(I hope camera ui is not running as uid 0)

@lvlonkey: Its common in colleges over here in India, most universities here ban the use of camera phones....most students still do take phones to class....its just some colleges which really enforces this
@pelago: If someone can make a really good enough script to disable the cameras, also with a convincing popup message, I can convince them that its factory disabled.....most of them are noobs....I'm doin a management course....so most of them arent too good at technology...
I'm not too gud at programming, so anyone who can help me out here??
