HTCCamera on Cyanogen 6 (Aug 30 release)? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried doing it the dirty way - first upgrading from the HTCCamera.apk, which didn't work... then I tried just replacing the original system/app/camera.apk to the new, htc camera.apk. That didn't work either...
I noticed that Cyan's changelog says that it's now supported.. So is there a way to install it on the Cyan's latest release?
On a related note, they say that 720p video recording is supported, so I hope this ROM just needs a camera app that supports it.
I tried it in TheOfficial ROM - worked great, I loved it. Hopefully same can be done on Cyan's.
Anyway to get that working?

Cyanogen already has 720p video recording support. What's this HTCCamera? Is it a camera app that's supposed to be better than the original camera app?

Yeah, HTCCamera is a really sweet camera app with very cool controls and looks. Just very convenient and pretty looking.
Regarding the 720p support in Cyan - is it the "Custom" setting? I see High, Low, MMS, YouTube and Custom in video quality.

on the options bar, press on the first icon, the circle one which will give u "color effect" scroll down. should be on by default anyways

Aha, found it, thanks!
Now if only there was a way to also use the htccamera app on cyan.. that app is awesome.

+1 desperately wanting that htc cam

It isn't as simple as just putting the HTCCamera.apk... you need the supporting HTC framework jar and resources APK (which BTW, are present in enomther's ROM). And you need a modified init.rc which loads these in the classpath (and this involves a modified boot.img). If I get the time, I'll try to whip up a modified CM kernel to do this...

Thanks for updating us..
Yeah I'm thinking that TheOfficial ROM has desire camera and all the stuff for it. Maybe we can contact him and ask to share the goods, or just rip it from there. I'm sure he won't mind, since it's HTC's camera anyway..

[ROM] Indigo Bean; CyanogenMod 5.0.8

Indigo Bean
Latest version: 1.0
Description:
This is a ROM using the famous CyanogenMod sources, version 5.0.8.
It has quite unique features compared to other ROMs:
Power Control Widget with automatic brightness mode (a Froyo feature)
setting to blink the (green) notification light
charging light (amber) if there are no notifications (also a setting)

Excellent, I never thought I'd see CyanogenMod on the Legend
I'd love to try it if only the camera wasn't broken......
Great. Downloading.......
is the volume key long-press working to change tracks in the audio player, as in the Cyanogen ROMs?
Looks fine so far. Thx for sharing.
One thing that does not work for me is Cardiotrainer from Market. When i try to start workout, it FC. Same problem with vanilla bean. The app works fine on all other roms and also on my magic with Cyangenmod 5.0.7DS.
For those that want camera i can recommend Vignette, it works perfectly.
It costs some money but its totally worth it since you can add effects and lots of other stuff.
can you take pictures ?
this are very great news! Thank you ali ba for your awesome work!
Looks like I have the same sync problems as in vanilla bean. I get no mails pushed. Have have to make a manual refresh .
is it possible just to have the lockscreen as an app?
Is it possbile to use metamorth in this rom?

Stock camera app does work with this release. Issues are 5MP and zoom. Besides that you can take pictures and videos. And playback videos, which is an issue with Vanilla Bean.

Sorry to hear that. I can sync right out of the box after providing my Google credentials. I changed some contact info in Google contacts and saw the changes nearly immediately on my phone.

No. The Lockscreen is part of the framework. Replace the responsible class and the HTC apps will be broken. There were efforts to provide a vanilla-like lockscreen for HTC, don't know whether they succeeded. This is the wrong thread nevertheless for such a request.

You don't have write access to /system, so you'll always have to get into recovery mode.
Thanks for this image!
Has soneone found a way to install it with rom manager. flash clockworkmod recovery fails on my legend. Or is there another way to backup my original rooted rom before flashing this one?
Just an idea, have you tried contacting the CyanogenMod team and maybe submit some patches to make an official CyanogenMod version for the Legend? AFAIK the same has been done with the Desire recently, using contributor patches.
EDIT: I also presume they'd be able to help you with the camera problem.

Does vignette use the full 5mp of the Legend? The problem with camera app is the resolution.... it feels kind wasted having paid for a 5MP camera and not being able to fully utilise it.
You just made me realize that I simply have to root. I've gotta have this!

Yepp, it uses 5MP, you can actually choose from a list what MP you want.
rom is working great. again good work!
you know if the htc keyboard should be included? for some reason i have the default android 2 times
@schpinn:
I'm maybe going to do that.
The problem we face is that the hardware is fundamentally different to the Desire, whereas Desire and Nexus mostly share the same drivers.

Enjoy!

If anyone wants to take over this rom its completely okay, I dont notice anymore bugs on this besides the wifi scan.
Noticed fixes from FRG33:
- i did notice that on audio playback it does not sound choppy or skip. (i.e. streaming audio, music, browser, youtube)
- gallery loads images a lot smoother now
- battery seems to play well
- few fixes you'll notice coming from FRF91 (nothing major)
overall its okay.
ID
bumping this out of curiosity, didnt notice this vanilla ROM until it was linked from another thread. anyone else have any thoughts about this?
Can someone test to see if their LED's are working, might not blink but they will light up if the screen is off. (only if screen is off)
I added the prop edit and the HW but can someone confirm if they do work.

FRG33, Does that make this an early Gingerbread build leak?

Possible 720p camcorder fix for CyanogenMod.

Instead of trying to keep up on the two CM threads that are already going and talking about the exact same things I figured I would start up a new thread and see if this fixes anything.
--------------
I will admit... I don't know jack about programming... but I am good at messing with stuff and seeing if it works. I got a little bored tonight and noticed there was a new change to the MIUI ROM that adds 720p recording. So being Halloween... why not Frankenstein a little!
I grabbed the camera.apk from the MIUI ROM (its an AOSP ROM.. so it should work right? lolz). Copied it over to my clean install of CM6.1 RC2 and boom... no crashing recording using 720p.
I have recorded about 30 videos now that are anywhere from 2 seconds in length to 5 minutes... one after another... without a crash.
There are a couple options missing that CM has... but I think this would be a good start to resolving the issues.
Please keep in mind.... there are a couple things you will need to do.
1. Download the following APK. (see below)
2. Using root explorer... browse to /system/app and check the current permissions for the existing camera.apk. It should be rw-r--r--.
3. Copy the downloaded camera.apk and replace the one in /system/app.
4. Change the permissions of the new camera.apk to rw-r--r--.
5.Close root explorer and reboot your phone.
6. Open the camera app, switch to camcorder. Using the onscreen menu, change the quality setting from high to custom.
6. Now select the top option to change the video quality. Select 720p.
7. Profit.
If you don't know how to change permissions... or know how to copy apks... please.. please.. please don't do this. If you are comfortable with it... let me know if it keeps crashing.
I know it doesn't have all the fancy settings the CM camera does... but I think this may be a very good step forward. So far.. It hasn't crashed out on me.
If you are going to do this and record one video and say its fixed... please dont bother. We need REAL testing.
The camera.apk can be downloaded here....
http://www.mediafire.com/?q9y8zst9aeqlgc7
Thanks all... if this ends up not working... I blame the to much beer.
If it does... we may be on a good start to getting this fixed. Cheers.
Oh yea... if you are using the camcorder.. you can turn of the screen and it wont force close when you turn it back on. Win.
Here's an update.zip for it. Flash via recovery. Also added the original CM camera from the Incredible build. I'll post a few cameras for you guys to test.
Thanks goes to the OP for getting this in motion.

Thank you... I'll admit it... I fail. lol. Just trying to be of some help getting this fixed.
I have tried the Nexus camera.apk in the past... it had the same issue.
It seems that the 720p issue exists on most if not all of the CM builds.
The only difference I see from face value is that CM camera builds have the crazy auto focus. If you are in a quiet place, listen to the camera itself. It physiclly moves inside the housing.
If you ever happen to hear the camcorder app FC, you can hear a little "click" right before it force closes. That is the camera lens moving.
It appears that the auto focus is messing everything up. Without autofocus (the MIUI camera.apk)... everything appears to work as it should.
As soon as you throw in the fancy auto focus stuff... it causes crashes.
Food for thought. I don't know a lot about it... but progress is progress.
Thank you for a zip version, Root explorer doesn't work on AOSP roms for me, is this common across the board?

Works for me. Are you sure you gave it root access in SU with the remember button ticked?
Also, good to see that somebody took the initiative. I had posted in the CM forum this afternoon that the MIUI Rom had functioning cam but nobody seemed to notice and I don't have much skills - glad to see camalus did - going to try this right away...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8931211#post8931211
I swapped the MIUI camera with root explorer and recorded 10 videos in 720p. The camera didn't fc on me at all. The videos looked good and playbacked smoothly on my phone and computer. The camera at times would get hung up for a second or two but I'm not complaining at all. Got a working camera now!
I just found that if you turn the focus mode to off in the camera settings with the camera that comes with cm6, this also allows you to record in 720p with no force closes. Funny its such an easy fix. As long as auto focus doesn't mean the world to you.
I have suspected for a while that the auto focus was causing issues.
I just loaded the patch on the newest nightly... no fc either.
I sent a message to koush on twitter. Hoping his intelligence can pinpoint this in more depth.
Here's to hoping!

Works perfectly for me. Taken 4 test videos in quick succession, no issues whatsoever.
Did not realize this was even an open issue. I believed this was already in the CM6.1 chain for inclusion in RC3 or whatever.
Ok. Just wanted to report my findings after flashing the zip file. The only settings I change in the camera was quality to custom in order to get the 720 resolution enabled.
Video #1: 1 min, 22 sec
I stopped recording of first video and without closing the camera app I started a 2nd video,
Video #2: Started recording and the camera freezed (FC would have been better) after 22 seconds. Had to pull out the battery to restart the phone.
In summary, is still not fixed. I'll revert back to the original Camera.apk.

Thanks. It doesn't appear to be device specific, so I don't see why it wouldn't work?
I think he says the thumbnail wall doesn't work though, so I'll give it a miss.
**EDIT** I also see it's taken from what's in CyanogenMod, which I have already
well anyone willing to try it on the latest modaco rom? if no one wants to help i guess ill have to do it alone lol
Well, as I have it already... yes, you go for it
I don't see it's any high risk. You're basically just trying an app.
I agree with Andy.
Since you're going to need to be root to do this anyways (right)...just use Titanium to back up the original app, then use Titanium to remove it, then install this one.
If it doesn't work out as you'd like, then just reverse the process.
I've just tested this on my stock gingerbread, it works! xD I used root explorer to remove the old gallery.
Just flashed and works perfectly! Can't believe how much smoother and faster it is and not to mention the image quality!
You really dont need this if you are using a rom based on CM

Samsung Vibrant Camera Firmware Update, Direct From Samsung...

I don't think I've actually seen this floating around anywhere, so I figured I'd share. Its the Camera Firmware updater from Samsung. I've had mixed results with its use on different firmwares. My only issue being FCing on an older Bionix build, as well as a few older Voodoo builds. I've had little to no problems with more recent voodoo builds, just used it on Trigger 2.9.2 with no problems, I've even used it on a phone running Gingerbread without issue. Yes I play with allot of phones...

Downloading now.. will test on stock and modded FFC version and report back.
Said I had the lastest version and then automatically gave me the option to uninstall
anything noticeably different on this over the standard stock FW?
I have an FFC so I doubt it's worth my time to test if there's no FFC support...

I've just installed it and tested it with the ffc (1st gen). There is not much different in my opinion. There seems to be a little less banding in low light condition and that's about it. 720p recording works well. I will test it with the 2nd gen camera tonight when I get home.
