Hi,
I just switched to ICS(teamhacksung build 9) and cant find howto change the storage location of the camera pics.
Is it possible and if yes how ?
My phone is a SGS I9000 if that helps!

Bump!!!

I would also like to know this. I have tried every camera I can think of. (MIUI camera, Camera 360, Camera Zoom FX, ect)...none of them will let me save to the external SDcard. Camera 360 came the closest but, you can choose the location of where you want to save the images, but there is not button to go up one level in the file system, so you can only access /mnt/sdcard but we need to access mnt/emmc....this is driving me CRAZY!

Camera Zoom Fx did the trick for me.. don't know why it isn't working for you..
If Camera 360 almost worked for you, what you can do is create a link to /mnt/emmc in /mnt/sdcard using app like root explorer.. that link will work as external_sd folder worked in GB roms... so selecting that in Camera 360 will let you access your external sdcard

I actually realized I was using an older version of Camera Zoom that did not have that function. I have updated it and was able to choose a folder on /mnt/emmc and it seems to be working fine. Thanks for the help.

Hi there..
I update my SGS to Froyo last 2 days.. and yesterday I apply Voodoo 5 on it.
But today I just noticed that any images from my external SD will appear double in gallery.. dunno when it started to happen.. is there any way to fix this?
thanks
Im my case was 5 for each original, and with a lot of problems to delete the "non-real" ones...
thats hurt.. anyone can help here?
Yup! Just go to Application Manager, then easily clear cache for Media Storage! Ta-Da! No more duplicate images!
(It made my ringtones reset, but I could live with it!)

If you have Root Explorer
GO into /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.media
and delete both the internal and external files
Reboot

Great hint, just wondering though if there is any way to have an app or script run at boot-up to do this for you, so people don't have to do it manually every time their gallery has a fit?
this is a work in progress, and i'd like to get some feedback.
i added an option in Camera > Advanced Setting > Storage > Save to External SD
when checked, images and videos are saved to /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera just like CM7.
when unchecked, they go to /mnt/emmc/DCIM/Camera
something might be broken. i haven't tested it thoroughly.
flashable zip of Camera.apk (based on cm#73) : http://www.mediafire.com/?o3ohnvct9236b1c
source code patch : http://www.mediafire.com/?zdg48e8101212q0
also included : restore zoom menu in video mode. force to label the second camera and "Front"
status : images and videos can be saved to either internal or external sd
issues : unknown yet.

there are two patches related to 1080p 30fps high bitrate recording by LeJay.
one is in the source code of Camera.apk to enable 30 fps at 1920x1088
second is in "/system/etc/media_profiles.xml" to increase bitrates.
first one has been included since nightly #65.
second one can be manually done by editting that file. (may require to reboot to be effective.) there is flashable bitrates.zip in LeJay's original thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15290203&postcount=197
which one did you mean ?
the answer is yes on the source, and no on the media_profiles.xml

thanks, rori.
well, the idea is not mine. it was a request by someone from nightly thread.
i figured i would take a look and see if it can be done.
the storage location was hard-coded in the source.
i managed to make it work, but it might not be a right way.
so i would welcome any comment, suggestion, criticism, etc.
as you already know, cm now supports swapping /mnt/emmc and /mnt/sdcard, therefore it is less useful now.
however, it still could be useful...
but i gotta admit that this would be the last thing in my list for now...
if anybody is interested, i have a necessary patch to do this.
just pm me.
p990 camera app w/ option to save in internal sd
the patch is still good w/ up to date code.
recompiled Camera app w/ cm nightly 187.
flash http://www.mediafire.com/?rpy44ns352q2c8d from cwm
camera app compiled for #204 at http://www.mediafire.com/?wcm0ie5dlb29zb8
again, you can set storage location from advanced setting

Hi pastime1971,
First of all, congrats for you great job here. So I've test this patch but i can't save my photos and videos in the external SDcard. I'm running CyanogenMod-7 for Optimus 2X - NIGHLTIES #204.
thanks for your attention e sorry for my poor english lol

could you elaborate a little bit more ? what happens ? does it just not save ? does it gives you an error message ?
ok, i downloaded camera.apk that you compiled for CM7 #204 and applied the patch via ClockworkMod. I selected this option: install zip from sdcard then i rebooted the phone.
In camera app appears in "Advanced options" to save photos and videos in external sdcard (File Storage - Image/Video Storage) but when i take some photos they were saved in internal SDcard.
There is no error message. Camera app works fine but it's still save in internal sdcard.
My question is...Did i do anything wrong?
Thanks for your attention once more

hi dude,
I applied the patch again then i wiped dalvik cache but nothing changed :S
More suggestions? If you want i can do more tests to help you improvement this patch.
ok. compiled the app, and uploaded at http://www.mediafire.com/?40buw7p3afd7ikn
didn't test the old one, but the new one definitely works for me.
here is a screenshot of gallery at http://www.mediafire.com/i/?x0ekcebc1l4515g which shows external folder w/ 31 photos and internal folder w/ 1 photo.
both are named Camera, which are /mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera and /mnt/emmc/DCIM/Camera
btw, if those folders don't exist, i don't know what's gonna happen actually. just in case, create /mnt/emmc/DCIM/Camera. for me it was already there from the MCR days.

I did the procedure again, i applied the new patch, wiped dalvik cache and rebooted but it didn't work. In my phone the path of external folder is different : mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD/Camera.
Before I use your patch I applied another one to mount external sdcard as a folder in internal sdcard: _ExternalSD like in stock ROM.

sounds like you are also mounting internal as /mnt/sdcard, and then external on top of it, instead of /mnt/emmc.
unfortunately, the path of /mnt/emmc is hard-coded in this one, so it is not gonna work, unless i can figure out how to get the storage location (on the fly) for internal and external in normal case.
but, you can always take the patch, replace /mnt/emmc to /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD, and recompile it. that should work for you, and ONLY FOR YOU.
Ηι pastime1971, your mod is giving the standard fps/ kbps like CM nightlies (204)?
Or have you adjusted them too?

First of all I am using the camera app that came with 204.
I tried to alter the /etc/mediaprofiles.XML to force higher bit rate and fps with mixed results.
I put the minimum fps to 24, and I took some test samples. In some parts it is ok and in some it seems corrupted. (lost frames and artifacts).
(I would really like to have a camera apk like the one of LG, it worked much better over all)

modifying /etc/mediaprofile.xml was discussed there.

I went to take a picture today and discovered that the icon for my camera had vanished. I restored a backup ... still no camera.
The only thing I can think of that happened is that I was copying a file from my laptop onto my phone and my laptop's battery died ... not sure why that would delete my camera but that is the only unusual thing that happened which I can remember ...
Any ideas on how to to get my camera back? I hate to flash from scratch and start all over ...
I'm on BlackCNA by the way.
The black cna room you downloaded, open the zip file and check in system/app for camera apk and manually place it in the phone with correct permission

You can pull your camera app from your rom zip file or Google it you'll find plenty of that
I have sony Xperia Z1 with stock rom and xposed flash. Obviously rooted too. If i have missed anything, you can ask me in the comments section
I have flashed zrcam but when I click pictures, they are very huge. I do not have any problem with it being captured as i can delete them but what makes me worried, is that two thumbnail files have being created in my thumbnails folder which is currently taking up 2.69 and 2.68gb of my storage each. One of the file name is .thumbdata3-1763508120.
I have tried deleting these files but they appear back again or my camera stops working. I rebooted the phone several times and the camera started working with those massive files appearing back again. Also i have tried deleting pictures in those thumbnail folder but the size of the thumbnail file doesn't decrease. Pictures taken from my phone are saved in sd card and these stupid files are in the internal memory .
My question is, is there any way i could delete this file or i could delete the zrcam? Where can i get the stock camera app to flash. Sorry but i didn't back it up. I never knew i would face this issue. Please if anyone could help me that would be great!
Thanks a lot!
