recently rooted and flashed to cm7. but the cm7 camera app is horrible! i prefer my stock o2x camera app. cant seem to find any threads regarding this(forgive me if there are ) so yeah it'll be cool if someone can point me in the right direction! thanks
Hi im also interested as camera is poor on cm7, only thing wrong imho. I do however think its not possible to use the stock one as it uses lgs framework which doesn't exist in cm7, someone correct me if im wrong?

I doubt there is a way to use LGs camera app with CM7. Maybe try a 3rd party alternative (camera360, vignette, ..) or give Pauls MoDaCo Rom a chance.

I've been reading a lot of posts lately of people wanting to go from CM7 to stock 2.3.3. Why would someone do such a thing? Am I missing something??

They don't want to use or don't know about the Dewonkificator and because of the wonks are willing to go stock. They think battery life sucks on CM7 and want better battery life with stock. They want the latest Android version. They use only RC or Stable versions of CM and therefore don't know about the improvements in the nightlies after RC1.
I would like to try stock for few days just for comparison and most likely go back to CM7 after that.
I have never heard of call wonks. What are they?

Gremlins that inhabit the CM7 ROM. They often run amok when you make or receive calls.
I think it only affects the stock dialer though. I use CM7 for daily use and have for a while now, and have seen a wonk once. It was ugly.
Dialer One didn't have any issues to my knowledge.
I've been using the stock dialer more on CM7 then I have in the past with little to no issues, although I don't call that often.
Cyanogen is the best
Hmm when i flash an other ROM then Cyanogen it feels wrong for me.
Imo Cyanogen is for me the way how Android must looks like.
I've been thinking about buying myself a new device but then i thought: "There will be no Cyanogen on it and maybe they wouldn't support it". So i wait for the next Googlephone.
My N1 will survive another year.
Great thanks to the Cyanogen team for this great job no one make a better one!!!
where's the tutorial of CM7 to stock 2.3.3..
i want to try it.. anyone please copy the link..
Backup followed by flashing the GRI40 zip from the development forum.
I recently flash CyanogenMod 7 (gingerbread) and everything works great except I'm little disappoint with camera. I think stock camera is much better and I was looking for camera.apk and I just can't find it anywhere. Few that I've found couldn't install. Anyone know where I can get a stock camera for Samsung Captivate? I also have ClockworkMod 3.x.
Thanks in advance!
Stock Samsung TouchWiz camera app that came with our phones aren't compatible with CM7, I believe.
I see. thx.

You're right. CM7 is AOSP or whatever the abbreviation is for it, but it has absolutely nothing to do with Samsung's firmware so those apps doesn't work with it.

Try Vignette from the market, utilizes all 5mp of your camera and orientation works as well, unlike the stock CM7 camera.
Hi I'm currently running topogigis rom but was wondering if there was any real advantages or disadvantages if i moved to cm7?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
I like CM7 best. I have found one stable one for me and it got all I need. Its snappy and fast and drains little battery. Topogigi is really good too but I just like cm7 so damn much.

nightlies !
stable release is nothing else than a nightlybuild considered stable, but outdated at the moment, since it´s over 2 weeks old and a lot of new commits are in the new nightlies ...
Cool ill try that. Now if only i could stop the vibrate in recovery... :-(

oh, you´re one of the guys with the vibrating recovery ...
strange problem ... i guess nobody knows whats causing this only for some people ...
Ok installed the latest nightly just a couple of quirks
Camera video performance is really poor must only be recording at 10 fps
SD card write is very slow 5mbps and they are mounted the wrong way
no voodoo sound overclocking what's the best kernal to try?
Also the apps icon is missing in the dock how can I put it back?

I'm sad no one showed any miui love. I tried cm7 and got tired of trying to keep up with nightlies and different versions with its own set of problems. I tried to change kernel and got bsod and so on.
Then I learned about miui with tweak pack thats in this forum. Pure awesomeness. Even the setup is so easy.
1) backup your current setup for safety
2) rom manager go to miui.us and get latest version and wipe all data and cache and install it
3) boot into miui once at least then reboot into recovery
4) in recovery flash the tweak zip file and reboot your phone and your done
You have a badass kernel with tweaks added on miui and it is smoooooth like silk. I personally like miui because it has built in apps for file manager and network monitor and all those basic things that you expect a phone to have now, I hate having to download third party apps for basic things and they come with ads and look nothing like the phones interface. With miui now I have a phone that I can show my friends and it looks nothing like an iphone or an android. Its the best of everything. Not just good looks but inside its tweaked to perfection and proper battery usage along with overclock. No need for setcpu and those battery apps.
Hows the camera on miui as I use the camcorder alot with the kids so unless I can get the camcorder functioning correctly ill probably go back to topogigi

Im currently using the "semi-official 2.3.4" rom from jboxer, which is stock based taken from another LG phone with the same hardware as the G2x. and it works perfectly, faster than stock 2.3.3..
only issues i have is the camera, stock android camera on G2x is no where near as good as the stock LG 2.2 cam. you can flash the LG cam V3 that is floating around, but then you compromise the functionality of the FFC, and that really takes a toll on the gtalk video chatting (which is the main benefit of using any 2.3.4 rom.
GPS locks on really fast too (big plus)
hope this helps you with your decision making
I would like to prove many rooms, but I use FM radio a lot, so for now, I cannot move from TOPOGIGI room

I replaced the camera in miui with the cm7 one with the fancy high bitrate and stuff. There's a tweak pack where forum user higsy has posted the camera from cm7 that you can use to replace the miui camera

The tweak pack from owain includes fix for google talk video with front camera. Only thing I did not get working was youtube which faja sent a link for an older version and its working fine now.

does this tweak pack work on any Rom? specifically the jboxer semi-officail 2.3.4 one?
if so can you provide a link, I cant seem to find it, did a search but had no luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263311
This tweak pack is only for miui and includes a kernel. You need miui + tweak pack and thats it.
The kernel on its own is called swiftextreme and that might work with other rom's I am not sure you have to post on that thread to get reply for the guys who make it.
Can we get ports for camera, gallery from ICS onto GB ?
I really can't give up the snappiness of Tornado for any of the ICS rom ports..But there were some apps that I like ...Msg would only be nice..
I'm sure they will be eventually ported to GB, but right now these apps are not working correctly on the ICS port for the SGS, so I don't think anyone would port them.

I honestly can't wait because I like the browser app too.. Right now ICS works somewhat but the quality is not the worth the switch. I tried it for two weeks and was impressed tho.
+1!

Hi. Someone ported camera app from ICS to GB? Or at least is it possible? I'm interested for my I9000. Thank you
For the first part of ur question answer is NO
I dont know if it worth porting it to GB (if possible which i doubt)
ICS camera sucks compared to GB
actually, I just want the panorama option. I think is better than all the other apps on market. Thanks for your answers.
