[Q] Captivate camera lacking panorama with CM7 - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The froyo captivate camera allowed for panoramic pictures. I have included a link to a youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeBrIcVWDrs that shows this being done on the sgs but it was the exact same for the captivate.
Recently I installed CM7, which is great...love it..etc, but I cannot find out how to use the panorama mode in this ROM. I have looked through the Q/A threads and CM7 FAQ's but have not found an answer to where this is or if it is still there.
Just FYI I am familiar with the current settings that it allows you to modify. I am not talking about any of those.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

That is because the 2.2 camera is a samsung app and the CM7 is aosp android app. if you want panorama there are apps in the market that allows it i do believe

some people were using vignette. Never used it myself, but it probably has more options than the CM7 stock camera.

Thank you!!!!!!

Different Camera Application

I find this video and on this optimus black has different camera app.This camera app has video editing tool i using europe open 10e rom and there is no video editing tool.How can i find this camera.apk?Or anyone has video editing tool can u share your camera.apk in system/app...

First time I'm seeing those features, and I've watched a ton of video reviews about this phone both before and after purchasing it. Looks like the owner of the video is LG, as you can also see from the actual photos inside the phone of the LG Headquarters. This probably means that it's a developer preview or maybe the 2.3 Camera application
There's a german header on this video "This is not final Software, so apps and functions may vary"...
This feature is evident in the Australian version of the user guide.
I do not know whether it actually is in the roms for this region?
holy **** i want that!
i would flash back to stock just for that app.
the only reason preventing me is that the stock camera app is unable to disable the shutter sound, ass

To the best of my knowledge, there's no such stock camera application. If there would, we surely would have it in each port (which means one so far...).
here is a (german) thread about removing shutter sound. there you'll find a modded camera.apk.

Man... we are not talking about camera without shutter sound! Please read the first post carefully.
The camera with removed shutter sound is here as well:

Wow, if they had this feature for awhile and only decide to release it along side gingerbread as a 'new' feature, it would just be poor taste :O

[Q] CM7 Video Recording with LOW FPS

Yesterday i tried to mess a bit with the camera so i decided to try the "[MOD][CAM] [email protected]@20mbps + auto-focus on CM7" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094424)
I did installed with the recovery. but after that i get very low fps on my videos..i tried every single file with about the same outcome.. so i wanna know how i can bring the cm7 default camera.apk back?
currently my videos are at 9 frames/sec wich is really bad...
I am using CM7.1.0 stable my phone is the greek version of Optimus X2 (its the speed) P990
My SD card speed is class 4 and i am using the sd booster app for a better performance..not big difference tbh...so either i would like to know where i can find the original camera.apk for cm7 or what i can do to fix this.. thanks in advance!
EDIT: I dont have experience on modding..just started messing around with phone following various step by step guides..
I have managed to put the default camera.apk and media_profiles.xml from CM7.1.0
to my mobile. I noticed small difference a bit better i think lik 12fps...
I have to mention that the light in the room was average.. when I had more light the frames gone up to like 25-26 fps... (i did monitored it with fraps) i have to try to daylight now...
Btw is that a general issue for all in dark video takes or its something wrong with my phone and/or software?
Any suggestions?
I am quite sure it has something to do with cm7 camera app. Alot of people do complaint about the quality of cm7's camera app comparing to the stock LG camera app on stock roms.
It's not a fault of CM team, the camera library is closed source, so it is hard to understand how O2X camera works.
Since I use the camcorder, I had to leave CM7 waiting for a fix

A library system/lib/libcamera.so was changed in newer CM releases and it features auto compensation, that's the reason why video sucks in low light compared to stock.
You can use a libcamera.so from older CM nightlies/stable releases. But make sure that you also copy Camera.apk from that version.

oh i see.. I'll try that thank you!
hmm this is interesting.. i too am not so happy with the camera on CM7.2 temasek
there's no way to install the stock camera apk on CM roms?
what i dearly miss from that camera is the ability for faster timer shots (2s).. the fastest timer is 10s for CM7 =\

Working Google Talk w/ video in ICS?

I'm looking for the ICS variant of this hack:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078140
Does anyone know if such a thing exists, or how the GTalk in ICS can be edited to allow this functionality?
I'm really enjoying Team Hacksung's ICS port, but really need this functionality so my parents can watch my kids in all their glorious cuteness ...
Thanks!
I haven't tried it, but Skype has an option to video chat with the rear camera
Sent from my (CM9) ICS i897 Captivate
Thanks for the reply. I just tried skype. In video chat I get audio but video is no go, on either front (obviously won't work) or back cam setting. I'm on a GB i9000 based rom if that matters...
Is there another video chat app that has a windows based client for remote chat?
...Would it help to offer a bounty on GTalk w/video in ICS for the Captivate?
Thanks!

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Hey I got ICS 4.0.3 and I still can't seem to get the video camera to work on my SGS Captivate. Have you got it working?
Thanks.

CM9 Camera not work fine, but the rom is RC?, another way to use other camera app

Hi!
I have one question.
I tested CyanogenMOD 9 RC1 by maclaw ROM, but the camera app still not totally works.
I tried with others camera apps and this apps gave crash error.
Exist another way to can to use the camera with more functions??
I guess the RC version is a near final version is a release candidate, so I think that the camera should work a little better, or otherwise should still be in Beta.
Exist another way to use a camera with apps like instagram, hdr camera etc??
Sorry for my english.
Greetings
Well..
The camera works only for taking pictures.
Without them open max drivers, we can't get video recording.
I was browsing the forums. and there are a number of ics roms for other devices.
They don't have video camera but they are RC.
Try any fingersoft camera app, i've heard they work.
same here. camera not work at all i try install other camera apps, still not work

[Q] [REQUEST] Stock/Modded Camera.app apk for Gingerbread 2.3.6

I would like to request someone to please post the stock/modded camera app for Android version 2.3.6 Gingerbread that is compatible with AbyssNote Kernal ver. 4.2 Final please. The current one I have has issues with focusing while in video capture mode. The camera wont focus whether recording or not. In still captures, though, manual and autofocus works just fine. I tried seaching around for compatible ones, but the ones I come across are for different android versions or for different Samsung phones, which result in screwed up camera UI.
Alternatively, if anyone can guide me to fixing the focusing issue, that would also be great!
(Unless it so happens that the Galaxy Note's stock camera app doesn't support video focusing at all, which would suck big time.)
Thanks.
