Gingerdx camera - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I am having an issue regarding the camera in gingerdx rom.
Whenever I capture two to 3 shots continuously my camera goes black and it remains black until I press home button and restart camera app, sometimes it happens with single shot also. Please help me I love this rom and not using it because of this issue.

Known bug, even listed in the GingerDX Bugs List & Solutions thread.
(X) means confirmed.
- Camera results in a black screen after some continuous photo shooting. (X)
Solution: Use another camera app, such as Camera ZOOM FX, 360 Camera, or if you need custom video recordings functions too, you can use MIUI Camera.

all gingerdx roms (xperia X8)even v31b has one error of camera(after some shoots camera turns black) ...in rom setup zip file(open with winrar) just replace camera.apk (system/app/camera.apk) with my camera.apk then instal rom... all errors will be disappear or u can replace this at the same location in mobile with root explorer then instal it also

i also has this problem!,but its not bother me at all i rarely use Camera on X8 and i had this problem in previous GDX ROM but in currently the latest
v031b doesn't have the problem i didn't notice that.

Yeah, I mentioned in the other revived post I also had this problem, and my ROM is FroyoPro v2.5. What's different with this apk to make the camera work properly and what is the cause of the problem? Would it work on Froyo?
Perhaps I should check this LG camera and see if the problem still persists there.

Just replace the file in my way u can test it urself

(NOTE) The 100% right method to install my camera.apk(to fix this permanently) in any rom is ->
In rom setup zip file(open with winrar) just replace camera.apk (system/app/camera.apk) with my camera.apk then instal rom (tested at all android v2.2 and 2.3 )
for gingerdx v31b it is working ...to test this in froyoPro Android 2.2+3
1) instal root explorer
2) go to location system/app/
3) mout from R/W to R/O
4) copy original camera.apk to ur sdcard at some safe place ( Do not mix my camere apk with this app)
5) Now copy (my camera.apk) and delete (system/app/camera.apk) then past (my camera file) to this location ..then inslal it also
then run ur camera ...
****(special case ....if after restart camera not running or capturing any photo ....then search and instal (camera.apk and GalleryDX.apk or gallery.apk) from location (system/app/) ...
then run camera)****
u will find the difference... now u no need to clear data of camera app in system/application.
****this camera.apk will not work for android v2.1 and 4.0 ,4.1 .....ics jb etc***
if u r not satisfied with my camera.apk (incase this is not working 4 anyone) then u can again replace the original file with my camera.apk then instal it ...after restart if camera is not capturing any pix then instal GalleryDX or gallery also

when we run the camera first time(after installation of rom) it usually does not gives any type of error ...but when we close it and run it again
then -> capture 30 photos continuously m 100% sure it will turns to black in b/w these 3 to 30 clicks.....(then u will find it needs to clear data first time)
and after clear data first time .....u will face this prob in every 3 to 6 shoots

replacing stock rom camera app with CM7 camera app?

hi,
i've made some tests with CM7 nightlies on my P970 (last #20) but i am not able to solve the sound problem. so i can not make or get calls and i decided to go back to stock rom V10C (branded P970).
with stock rom the response time of the camera is very bad, but was very good with CM7.
is it possible to replace the stock camera app with the CM7 camera app?
if so, how can i do that?
thx, nm

I think stock rom still has the best quality, i would want the stock camera app
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
I think it's not possible since CM7 #20 is based on Gingerbread already while the stock rom is still old Froyo.
I have tried importing the camera apk installer from CM7 to stock rom but got an error during install. Could be a compatibility problem...

thought it could have worked because some GB apps are running in froyo. music player e.g
i am not sure but isn't arccamera.apk the regular camera app in LGOB stock rom?
Maybe you can copying the app from cm7 to /system/app and reboot the phone. Install it won't work. Copy the original one to sdcard, if something goes bad you can replace it again.

Is there any way how to instal stock rom camera.apk on CM nightly #20?
I tried replace arccamera.apk in /sdcard/system/apps also I tried instal arccamera.apk, but nothing worked :-/
Try install the camera app using root explorer
-mount /system/app ro r/w
-rename old ArcCamera.apk in /system/app as you wish
-copy your new ArcCamera.apk to /system/app
-change permission ArcCamera.apk same as other apk in the folder
-restart phone

does this means works?
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
moreover, could anyone upload the arcamera.apk and the odex file to mediafire, hotfile, or uplaod king since I have just flashed back to the Froyo and have no back up for the CM7.
I am from HK and cannot use the Megaupload at all
Also, somebody found that the shuter sound problem exist while we can silent it by turn the volume down to zero, however, it is so inconvenient and wondering there is other means to silent the shuter sound
thanks

If you're talking about silent shutter sound, then I can modify for your application standard camera so that the camera menu was available to silent shutter. Also, I can remove the operation sound of the autofocus and video recording sound.
I flashed from #20 to #17 so I didn't try it yet.
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
the original ArcCamera.apk with no sound NORMAL shutting only on the stock camera is available here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1165936
However, it still has sound for "continue shutting" option and the video capturing . I have no solution for it.
And, I tried to put the CM7 wonderful camera into stock froyo by renaming it to ArcCamera.apk and same permission and owner with the stock one. however, it doesn't work at all.
If you have any solution or even a WORK camera, please be kind to post it here

Doesn`t work for me, too. After rebooting there is no camera in app manager. By trying to run with file manager I get well known parser error. So I think the reason is simply the incompatibility between froyo and GB apps.

fine. how about turning the froyo camera with no sound in "continue shutting mode" and in video capturing since i only have the arccamera.apk for silent shutter sound in only normal shutting mode.
sonicpeter, notmatched I did it

First please excuse the late response and thanks a lot for your effort. I will test it asap an will give you feedback.
Is it that I should not uninstall the stock camera?
I had done that and then placed the camera with no sound to /system/app using root explorer, but failed to install

Its alright now. Thank you so much!

You can disable it in CyanogenMod settings. If that doesn't work, try editing build.prop file in System folder.
Use miui camera..u can always disable the shutter click
Sent from public phone using 10cents.
The MIUI Camera doesn't look very good on my SGM. There seems to be a alignment problem. Does anyone else have this issue?
I use Camera 360 for taking pictures on all roms. You can turn off all effects and use it as regular camera app..
I have a question about this too...
Does the CM7 camera really has touch focus feature???
You can google it sir. You can find everything on google , or you can browse on the development section on cm7 threads there are links on camera there.
Stock camera will not work in cm7 coz framework are different.

I think that and I had not tried, can someone try it and tell me that working?

Camera works on cm9 galaxy mini

Install minicamera from CWM then restart and instal Camera_updated.apk from phone.
For me it works somehow, to be further developed, but I do not know.
works, only on ICS.

it's not possible, that patch causes libbinder not to load ( = stuck at white screen )
For me it gives camera has stopped.
I am rebooting the phone now, maybe it will work.
Still the same, tho i had the same problem on AOKP, so i'm probably doing something wrong.

LgCamera doesn't give any errors, tho there is no preview and nothing happens when you click the snap button, but i guess that is some progress.

@the whisp
White screen only shows if you do not install gapps. Dunno why.
Tried reinstalling the rom. Still the same. Haven't tried with 10/08 nightly.
Edit 2: This makes me come to a conclusion that maybe those openGL drivers from that nightly are making camera work?

I installed this on CM10 PACman, and it works , bad thing is; now I got 2 camera apps and 2 gallery apps, also now BOTH cameras have autofocus... weird uh, or maybe the PACman rom has a camera app with autofocus?, I will reflash this rom and check first, then delete this camera and gallery then flash your mod. lets see what happens, I will also flash in the latest CM10.1 unofficial (new bootloader) and post my results (dual boot FTW!).
You shouldve read op first.

I did it on purpose to compare both cameras but I was naive because there was no way to tell them apart... and after re flashing the rom I saw the camera in the rom has autofocus, but they're far from the same, gallery app us the same, but the camera has different menus, a lot less options... unfortunately, I don't know if use yours or port the one in PACman rom to the CM10.1 unofficial for the new bootloader... the CM10.1 camera also has autofocus... but the menus and UI suck ass.
Good thing is it works for both CM10 and CM10.1
Maybe mivv uses default cm camera, rezip it, and set it up as default. Sorry if offensive.
when i was recording a video it was capturing nicely, then when i viewed it it was broken.
