I could be wrong, but I think that was a feature that was brought to the table by Froyo.

it is a feature that is supposed to be on froyo. Or if rooted, you could get N1 Torch and take advantage of multitasking. Just open that, turn on the light. Hit home to leave the app running and open the camcorder.

Yep it's in Froyo under the "Flash" icon.

Tried it but it just turns off the light really liked the rosie guess I will try froyo

[Q] Anyway to rotate the screen with multiouch?

Soooo my Captivate for some reason has rotation issues no matter what rom I flash, including stock after ODIN. It started happening after I tried the leaked i9000 gingerbread rom, then after that my captivate has not been tilting the right way. I want to know if theres any apps to tilt the screen maybe with 2 fingers kinda like the new iPod Nano does with 2 fingers. That would make things better easier
P.S: I knew there would be issues with trying the leak, but I still went on with it so please don't post about my stupidity.

Try ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro, i know they have rotation for the home screen, maybe it might work for the rest.
Sounds like a problem with the accelerometer. You might have a shot with warranty

Think ATT will replace it? or should I just send it to Samsung? I bought the phone in August. I might get the Inspire 4G for my birthday so idk yet
Make sure Auto-rotate screen is enabled. Also try resetting the horizontal calibration.
As Hondo209 said only certain launchers are able to rotate the homescreen.

I have flashed multiple roms including stock through ODIN, I always check Auto-Rotate but the screen rotates the wrong way. I can't calibrate because I am using CyanogenMod 7 and theres no calibration option.

Buttons backlight on GB

Hi,
I find the fact that the buttons under the screen keep lit until you turn the screen off annoying. I often use the tab in the dark and even if you cover them up some of their light "contaminates" the bottom area of the screen, especially with dark images.
Is there any known way to get them working back as they did on Froyo? Maybe if someone could extract the old Froyo backlight driver I could try it on my tab...

I think its a great feature, especially for using in the dark as I often pressed wrong button accidentally. However I do think there should be some sort of setting to adjust when its on all the time and when its not etc.
Try an app called blinker I think from the market.

Camera quality fix!!!

I simply couldnt stand how poor the picture quality was on my new bionic, so i started exploring ways to make them batter. And im happy to report, I did! I got an application from the market called camera zoom fx, and i promise you, the picture quality is like day and night, so it IS NOT, a hardware issue, its definitely a software issue. you can even change the location it saves the pics to so they save to the camera roll in your gallery just like the stock blur camera app, and you can set it as your default camera. below i have to example pictures i took under low lighting with the flash on. See for yourselves, but since this application has now been rought to everyones attention, i hope we dont have to hear about how ****ty our camera is in all the threads anymore... this is proof the camera isnt bad, the software it uses is... If you have any questions on how to setup the app or anything else, post here or PM me...
A $5 fix
But yes, this is a good app, and definitely proves that it isn't a hardware limitation.

I found a 3.0.2v on the internet and it was not as good as the stock 1 on the bionic, it was infact worse, so for me i will be using the stock cam app from the bionic, but thanks for sharing
I find that the AOSP camera takes pictures 150% better that the blur based one... this is why I am going to include that as the default camera app in Liberty

i dont know about aosp, but i know that i couldnt find any 3rd party camcorder apps, and the videos on the stock app look just as horrible as the pics when watching them on the phone, but when theyre hooked up to the tv via hdmi they look really great... audio is a lil too sensitive though, if theres a light breeze it sounds like your in the middle of a frickin tornado.. lol

That's kind of why I'm afraid of touching any camera but the blur one...because often times the camcorder doesn't make use of the noise canceling mics, doesn't do HD quality, and doesn't work with the FFC.
So the camcorder doesn't work on this all, either? Wish I would have known this before the refund period ended

With camera zoom fx I can't video record when I click video take me to the stock camera app
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
Camera360 just blows this stock camera away.
I was in a dark room and got 100% focus on items that the stock camera couldn't and wouldn't touch.
Not very stable but I'd rather have great pictures instead of blurry **** quality. I don't have a doubt that the Bionic will gain some attention of the developer and they'll be able to fix the camera sometimes FC..
I spent the first two weeks on trying to get this camera to take a decent picture in low light and the results were never that great. Took one photo with Camera360 and it was a night and day difference.

thats cause its not a video recorder, its only a camera, so yes, when u click it, its gonna direct you to the stock app.
I purchased this a long time ago, and I'm glad that I'm finally using it.

[Q] Gingerbread power button shutter?

Hey guys, I've been poking using the Gingerbread leaks lately and was curious if anyone knew of a hacked camera with a power button shutter option. What I've seen so far in search seems to be for froyo and I'm not sure if they've actually updated the camera app in gingerbread or if those would be safe. Any info would be appreciated.

If you are asking for any GB rom with hacked camera, which can be used using power button, than you can try Illuminance rom. I am sure other GB roms in dev section also have this feature but I am using Illimuninance 2.1.1 and I can confirm it has it...
You could also take the camera.apk out of illuminance and use that

Stock Camera.

What can I do to speed up the camera launch speed. It takes around 5 seconds to launch which is terrible. And please don't suggest I use a 3rd party app.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
Sad to say but theres nothing you can do to fix that,,,,
But there is another way to capture photos fast by just clicking the volume down button even if the acree is turned off. , goto the android development section and look for the tiopic called, ( camera mod fast capture enable)

Or just try to update last firmware.There this problem is solved.

There is currently no fix for this issue, but I'm sure future updates will fix it.
BUT: There is a mod in the mod section that allows you to quickly capture images with volume up

I'm not running the latest firmware and and I'm not sure if the mod will work. A lot if people are reporting the camera app disappearing and that's a risk I'm not willing to take. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Can I update with a custom recovery using pc companion? I'm also rooted.

Update: received an update and the camera is much faster at launching now. Not the fastest but definitely an improvement.
However, I lost root and my custom recovery. Oh well. The sacrifice was worth it.

If you use a launcher like Nova you could use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40084488. It gives a bit faster startup, but only in Superior auto.

The update seemed to have improved the camera boot up speed. But thanks for the tip.
I've also realised that the update made my navigation and status bar black by default. =D
