[Q] Cyanogenmod and the IncS camera lag

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.

why can't you go back to stock?

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.

stock ics browser poor performance when zoom

i'm sorry for my poor english
i'm using a 9020T
after flashing the stock 4.0.3 OTA, everything is good except browsing some chinese sites(such as www.163.com www.sina.com.cn in desktop mode) with the stock browser
on those sites, when i zoom in to max, the characters will not be clear after several secs(for 5-8 secs most of the times, though sometimes only 2-3 secs ,and sometimes 15+ secs,so i think maybe something is bugged)
and then, after the characters are ok and the redering finished , if zoom out to min again, it will use even more time to show all page than zooming in.
i tried to do a full wipe , unfortunately the issue persists in a newly flashed ics4.0.3 with no google account logged,with almost every setting disabled, even with no sim card
also tested with 3g /edge / wifi.
but what the strange thing is, i have asked some 9023 people but they don't have the issue, and one of my friends using 9020T just got the same as i got.
i've seen some one on xda get the same issue on visiting a non-english site

This update made my phone look better and run smoother.
I have a problem with the browser rendering real websites extremely slow.
When I zoom in, I takes a lot of time for the text to focus.
When I zoom out, I see the tile for about 30 seconds until I see the other parts of the website.
For other problem (like FB) I can say this:
Not all apps are adjusted for ICS so the battery problem may be because of an app taking all the battery (if it requests services from the androis os thread you might not notice it an app problem)
For problems with the facebook app - delete the cache and app data in the application setting menu
Update: I found that the browser slowing down when going into Hebrew web sites in desktop mode. English sites render a lot faster

also the cpu score in quadrant is much lower than nexus one 2.2+

I have noticed the same issues.

Any resolution to this? I'm noticing the same issues, and I'm wondering why.

Flash ICS 4.0.4! Why are you still on 4.0.3?

Damn haha. I saw bold white header and thought its new. Didnt look time.

How big is your firmware?

Hi guys.
Could you please let me know what the Firmware size is on your P10?
Using the Files app, mine shows it as being more than 11Gb. I'm worried that after the last update, the system didn't delete the update file from the system. Seems huge to me...
Appreciate your replies.

My P10 shows that Android takes 11,34GB of space. This number (for me) hasnt changed much since i bought my phone and i have done 3 updates. Size has changed a little- for about 200-300MB

Thanks Tea Time.
I was unsure of the size, it seems too big to me, but I guess it´s normal.
Now on B171 and the battery life is still crap.
Gallery bug still there too.

Mine is also 11,34 gb.
Im also on B171 and i have screen on time of 4-5 hours ++ (really depends).
What is the gallery bug?

My battery life seems good, cant complain...
And I havent noticed any gallery bugs, tell us about it
Some time ago I noticed that Antutu benchmark was randomly turning on by itself and it drained 10+% of battery, so maybe its worth checking out your app battery usage...

When editing photos on Lightroom mobile, and then exporting them, if you then open the exported image from Huawei Gallery, it saturates the photo too much. Opening the photo in Google Photos looks fine. If you share the photo from the Gallery, it's fine too.
I think the Gallery is attributing a colour space on top of the colour space already added by LR, thus making it look over saturated.
Not tried with any other editing app (Snapseed , etc), but this is annoying...
Also, no way to choose where to save RAW files. They all go to the internal storage, which is annoying. You end up with RAW files in the internal storage and the JPG in the external. How stupid is that?..
Finally, when using RAW, I end up with 3 files in the Gallery. One is the RAW, the JPG, and the edited JPG from Lightroom. That's silly. Learn from LG how it's done - when shooting RAW, you only see the RAW file and the edited LR JPG. You can also choose to save the RAW on the external storage.
Can't be too difficult to implement.

I checked the apps and they look normal, and have a few turning off on screen lock, so it's not that. I'll give it a few more days so the battery manager gets used to my pattern of usage.

Android 10 is here !

I just saw on Sammobile that some firmwares based on Android 10 has just been released for the A405F/FN/FM !
Maybe some of you have received the update ?

The new software is delivered by samsung. The order is unknown
I actually waiting for the OTA.

I have just recieved the update notice, but prefer to wait some days before activating. Denmark.

Exactly. Apart from that I wouldn't know the phone got an update. Maybe the status bar is a bit different but I can't really see anything differnet. Keep in mind tho I also haven't really tested anything yet. But I really thought it would be some bigger changes

I noticed that long screenshot have been added.

(Was away from home, so wanted not to take any 'risks')
Now installed, went trouble-free in 20 maybe 30 minutes. Only few changes here and there (graphics for battery usage, camera, navigation bar gestures). Used Nova Launcher before, now I'm gonna give the OneUI a spin for a while. Screen can accept 5x6 icons (plus bottom row), I don't remeber if that is increased, but was used to 5x7 with Nova.
Saw one (A50) v.10 review on youtube that claimed increased performance in bechmarks, so tried that. Could not confirm any increase with PCMark.

- when taking a screenshot, you get an option to scroll down one or more times, then the screens below get collage'd on, to one long image. That's actually quite clever..

Oh, and one negative : Seems I have now a more or less permanent notification "Samsung account. To continue using services securely, sign in again." Dismiss and it will return shortly. Quite annoying, but googling seems to confirm no solution atm. Hope they decide to remove it later on....

reddit.com samsung_account_deleted/

I confirm that A40 outputs audio through USB C no problem (android 10). Using with dac/amp Topping NX4 DSD. I write this because I have read all over net that this does not work, but the gamble paid

Ah that sucks.
You could disable the notificatuo for it tap&hold but its still bad if you want to keep it neat

I'm still waiting for update...

I have installed Android 10 update, and I have noticed now the front camera only shoots in maximum 16MP mode.On Android 9 you could shoot with maximum 25MP mode ,why did they limit something which was already working.Also if anyone is still on Android 9 it would be helpful to know which version of Samsung Camera is on Android 9?

Android 10 version is installed in my phone.
In summary, One UI 2.0 with better Dark Mode support and full gestures that remember me to MIUI implementation.
Battery drops earlier, surely due to new ROM installed and I've to wait for ROM stabilize.

In camera app never I can't set image resolution, only I can set video resolution.

Looks like everyone have update installed except me. I see that it should be already pushed to my phone by the end of May. My girl have the same model and she is happy Android 10 user from beginning of May. Any ideas how to force update or check why it not showing in update section? I already cleared cache for google play services and google framework service and still no update

General Stock vs XiaomiEU smoothness experience.

Guys i recently jumped from stock Chinese to XiaomiEU. I noticed that the phone became laggy with animation.
This thread for those people who actually tried both choices (stock/XiaomiEU stable/beta)
Besides animation with micro lags on opening apps (a specially if they closed in recently menu) there is other weird stuff, example YouTube started to lags in scrolling. Google keyboard sometimes comes up late. Phone after restarting laggy first 2-3 min.
I switched back to full Chinese stock and im shocked how quick and smooth this phone is !
Please share your statistics if you switch from XiaomiEU back to stock.
In my opinion (with full respect to developer) stock debloted root it rom with adaway bringing you a Pixel smoothness... however I can't say similar about EU rom...
Regards

Yes I noticed it's not as smooth as well like not 120 fps all the time while navigating. Also noticed the YouTube scroll lag. If you turn on show fps in developer settings when you load up the YouTube app it drops to 60 fps only.

Stock(debloted/rooted/adaway) 12.5.4 just destroying with speed and smoothest !

I am planing to move to xiaomi.eu as I use android auto most of the times. But the above comments lead me to think twice..
I might keep my CN rom..

Move it for experience and for fun. Comeback later and vote it.

I noted the same thing, but it's not that big of a difference. I also have a question if your main screen starts lagging when you wake up the rear screen?

Definitely download getapps as your system apps won't update without it. The EU rom should be coming with it, it shouldn't be deleted it's imperative.

I just finished installing but do not have getapps..time to Google it..

Yesterday, I manage to complete the task of intsalling xiaomi.eu ROM. At first it felt slow but looks like I was spoiled by 120hz on Chinese version. After changing back 120hz, it feels much better.
I will not vote yet as I am stil catching with my apps and awaiting first stable update to see the update process before making any decisions.
All in all, the main reason for this change was android auto for me. I tested and working which makes all this hassle worth for me. I will revert in due course about the smoothness...

Is There still a difference in speed and smoothness or has it leveled out by now ?
