I've run a search and can't find a concrete IncS specific (or otherwise Sense related) answer.
I went about installing Cyanogenmod 7 on my Incredible S and it worked wonderfully save for the camera application. The refresh rate on the preview was horribly low and there was significant lag compared to while on Sense.
I'm aware that the Sense apk cannot be used on non-Sense ROMs. I'm curious to know what other IncS owners running Cyanogenmod 7 do in regard to camera functionality. I've since hopped back over to Virtuous but would like to use Cyanogenmod again if I could sort out the camera issue.
Thanks guys.
There is a miui camera that significantly improves the camera functionality.
I posted it in general, in the cm7.thread in here

but that still doesn't fix the low light camera lag which seems to be a driver problem.

I've been trying to fix this for a while and have found no solution. MIUI camera, FX camera, and Tiny Photo are are a few options (but I agree about MIUI - doesn't fix anything).
Question - do you find when you're taking a picture from a different app it works ok? When I use the camera app I get the noise, but if I use WhatsApp for instance take a picture and attach is, I find there's no noise.
I don't think the stock cyanogenmod camera is setting the iso properly, I've tried it on auto, and on every other setting, but the resulting photos all seem to come out the same, with lots of noise.

I found the miui camera removed a large portion of the noise for me...
Many others on the incredible 2 forum of cm website are reporting the same.
Sucks that it isn't working for you

It works better in certain situations for some reason. Sometimes lots of grain, sometimes none. But my main point is - it doesn't compare to Sense in any way, from quality to UI and back..a lot of room for improvement
This problem had been discussed over and over again. The only way to fix it is to find someone with knowledge in programming and digital camera programming to decipher the code in the sense version of the camera software.
Well I just got back from my international holiday trip and not totally impressed
The phone worked fine with the international sim card, hate that I can't see what's downloading in the background (google sync, android stuff), because my credit was running out fast and all I used was facebook which was free on the carrier. (social networking)
Also, camera took quite good photos but not as good as the sense. I love how it did widescreen photos rather than just a box size. Also I found my battery died a lot when I wanted to use it.. sitting by the pool and surfing facebook for 1h would use about half the battery. and can't put tiamat on my phone either.
so right now my phone is just sitting in my drawer, because my family member gave me their old iphone and find it more reliable for the time being
I just can't get used to android after having it for over a month, must just be me. I'm not giving up though. Maybe next step is to try another ROM.
Why didn't you turn off data and auto sync?
You seem like the iPhone type lol

An hour of constant internet for me uses 15 percent battery approximately. (screen on the entire time)
I consider that pretty good

I suppose that rules out Cyanogenmod for us lest we cripple the camera function?

Well, I had an international sim with internet so no reason to turn off data, and would prefer auto sync the same as back home. everything was off except facebook updates.
Also on cyanogenmod, camera is good and clear but doesn't go in widescreen like stock ROM does (I really want to go back to stock but i cant ) and no photo editing effects built in on cyanogenmod. hmm.

My miui camera went nuts today. I can only see the image on half of the screen while taking pictures. It's like the menu area is unwilling to release its reserved screen area.

E: the problem was caused by Crystal theme.
Hi folks not sure if this has come up as a problem before but here goes. Camera has been greta up to yesterday when the pictures i took have dark banding on them? The banding is only on the images not the screen and i can't find anyone else who has had this problem or who can provide an answer. Any help much appreciated.
re
which rom do u use ??
try to flash another rom , to see if its a hardware, or a software problem ,..
---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------
and did u used another camera app some app from market ?
same problem or not ??
sussed it out, it was the iso setting set to 800 as soon as i set it back to auto it was fine. Although its a bit of an odd thing to happen
I have installed 27th April CM9 Nightly build on my SGT P1000 and somehow, the camera is working perfectly fine. I am unable to find settings for the camera, but it's working perfect. The gallery is showing all the images that I have captured.
The reason of writing this post is that all other posts claim that the camera is not yet working for ICS port on SGT-P1000. I first installed Overcome 4.1.0 with the kernel, and then flashed the CM9.
The question is, how is it working, and is it normal to work?
If it is normal to work, can someone point me in the direction where i can follow the updates?
Links
I used this get.cm link for downloading the CWM flashable CM9 nightly build ROM. Just want all to know that EVERYTHING seems to be perfect. I flashed the ROM yesterday, and till now, everything works.
Wifi
Bluetooth
Video Recording
Camera
Music playback
video playback
GPS
Video calling (through skype etc.)
Front/Rear Cam
Smooth Screen Rotation
Live Wallpapers
Phone
Contacts
SD Mount
Market
Browser is smooth as ever, tabbed and can be linked with chrome
Just want to know if anyone else has flashed this, and if anyone else has cam working.
I remember someone came up with a fix for the camera in the form of a flashable zip a while back so I imagine it's been included in the latest CM9 builds.
Well, I am still waiting for people to comment on it. I haven't found any comments. Is there a thread following the nightly CM9 build for p1000?
It has been working fine for many weeks.
This is the discussion thread

Thanks Priyana, just a little problem, i posted in a new question thread aswell.
Unfortunately, camera closed. This error I am getting frequently. Not always, but frequently. I have no idea what is causing the app to run sometimes, but close at other times.
I am on aokp milestone 5.
I also have camera fc from time to time.

Little manual fix i have. Put the cam to 2.5 MP and when your'e clicking a pic, dont press and hold the blue button. Just push and let go. The pic will snap, and the frequency of cam gone FC will reduce by 90%. I think there is a problem with the autofocus which causes the cam to go bonkers. Do try it and share...

I do not have enough posts to ask this question in CDMoncrieff's 4.2.2 ROM thread so I will ask it here. What is the difference between CDMoncrieff's latest 4.2.2 ROM, SGA, and shumash 4.2.2. ROM? Are they all built on the same thing with slight tweaks?

What you should understand is that the Touchpad is heavily dependent on pre-built drivers and libraries. Therefore, many of the different ROMs end up being a reinterpretation of the UI only. In short they're built from pretty much the same device source with a few differences here and there; pick the UI you like best.
shumash builds PAC, with which you have all the PA settings, CM settings, and AOKP settings. It's very customizable.
-SGA- built SlimROM which is AOSP based and has a different variety of custom appearance features and settings.

FWIW, I installed CDMoncrieff's AOSP build yesterday (was on SickleROM before this). I am really happy with it. Have not found any issues so far at all. Schizoid listed some conflicts between settings, etc. So, CDMoncrieff's seemed cleaner to me.
The only thing I have not resolved till now is how to have TP not go to sleep while on touchstone. I can launch clock in night mode, but I want it to stay on the homescreen instead.
I have never had this problem with any of the previous ROMs till now. It is not a show-stopper however.
Unfortunately, I cannot post this in the dev forum because I don't have enough posts
I am keeping that as a daily driver until I hit a show-stopper bug.

Well, I hit the first snag. I cannot get the camera to work.
There was no camera included by default. I restored one from TiBu, and that did not work. Installed one from the play store (UCam) and that did not work either. CDMoncrieff's post mentions some problem related to camera preview rotation, but I can't get it to work in any mode.
In your app drawer, go to HP ToucPad Settings. Then click on the camera tab and make sure it indicates "front camera with mirrored preview(android default)”

It was already set to that. I switched it to webOS, and reverted it to Android. Rebooted. Still no luck.
Camera says "Camera has stopped"
UCam says cannot connect to the camera.

Googling reveals the setCameraMode API was deprecated at some point (early JB). So, maybe this build need a newer stock camera?

I think I figured it out. Somehow there were multiple cameras installed on my system.
Uninstalling the older one fixed it. Now, I know what the "rotated preview" problem means

Hey guys,
Anyone else's facebook not working? Instagram doesn't either. I'm running Marshmallow, latest Chroma on my Nexus 6.
When i open them they attempt to load, then just exit out. I wiped and re-flashed and same deal. Any idea what's going on??
Facebook app broke with the last 3 updates. Now doesn't work on my N6 and N7. Still works on wife's N5. Its the app. Not a phone problem. Wait for another update to fix it.
That's strange, I have Facebook app 57.0.0.11.136, and i works without any problems on my MRA58R based rom.
So does Instagram 7.11.1
4th fb update this morning g that does not work on any of my 3 devices. Even after an uninstall data clear and re install.
---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------
I went back to the nov 26 version and it works. Anything after down not.
Guys, FB is a poorly written app that causes lots of problems, its best to uninstall it and FB from within your browser. This has been so as long as i can remember, just my 2 cents.
