[FIX] Possible fix for CM 6.1 Camera FC issues-MERGED 20101122

The fix below has been merged into the nightlies!! expect to see it on the 23rd.
If you're impatient, you can install a compiled version of the apk from recovery...
---------------
The camera issue is for ALL of cyanogenmod, not just us dinc users.
I've grabbed some of the patches that are being worked on and put some of my own work into it.
Please let me know what you find.
For me, it crashes almost every single time if I use continuous focus, but it's fine with infinity.
Screen off and on works without FC, but the camera is hard coded to not allow recording with screen off.
1. Backup
2. Flash aosp-camera-fix-v1.0.zip
3. reboot..

flashed
Just flashed, off to a meeting but will report back shortly. I would love to be able to shoot video in 720.

in to see the responses

no issues
No FC in continuous or infinity mode. Shot about 10 minutes of video in both. Screen off then on kills recording. Still no 720p recording mode though (not that this was supposed to fix that, I was just hoping).
Recap: No camera/video FC in either mode (continuous or infinity)
Thanks for this

...

To get 720 p.. Make sure quality is set to custom and file type is mpeg4, then it should show up in the settings.

Someone alert camalus!

I will be flashing this after work today! Thank you!!!

rom manager now shows build #157 (11-23) does this include both the cam and led fix?

Maybe cam fix, definitely not led fix tho.. hasn't been approved.

hi seanzer. on cm nightly build #161 - issue: when on videocam, and i turn off the screen (recording or not), when you unlock, the videocam becomes almost half the size of the screen (with the preview screen almost a quarter the size, and is now on the lower left), and it's unresponsive.

Same thing happened on my friends moto Droid 1.. i think the latest commit to the camera broke it. Try a nightly before the 24th... which only contains my camera fix. I haven't had time to test the latest nightly yet, but I will have to investigate more what happened..

thanks man. i just installed build #159 and cam is back to normal again.
on a different note: how come the vanilla cam doesn't support 8mp wide like the htc sense cam?

anyone know? is this the same with all aosp roms?.. the camera just isn't as good as the htc cam.

Fixed my Nexus One
Installed on CM 6.1 on a Nexus One, fixed the camera for photos, haven't tested the videos.
Symptoms: Camera keeps crashing after a few shots. Force Close the application and if I tried to run it I only got a blackscreen until the Force Close window appeared.
It also rebooted my phone one 2 occasions.
Installed using Rom Manager:
Install from SD
Selected .zip
Backup Rom (Yes)
Wipe (NO!!!)
Everything went smooth.
Now I'm taking pictures, modifying settings, Touch Focus, everything seems to work.
Took 20 pictures in a row and fast.
Thanks for the fix

I had high expectations on this one, I tried it but I still get FC on the camera.
I have a Magic and I am running the CM 6.1 Rom

If you look at the resolution of the 8mp wide setting on the stock sense camera, it's not actually 8mp. It's really the same as 6mp wide on the CM camera.

[Q] CoreDroid 1.1 2.3.3 Backlight Buttons & Front Camera Issue

Hi, Loaded latest CoreDroid 1.1 yesterday I had following issues:
*Mirror App is not Installed, not able to test front camera.
*Backlight Buttons not lighted, however they work.
*When doing Video Chat on Google Talk front camera is rotated landscape.
Appreciate any help con correcting these issues while new ROM comes.
Thanks

Wrong forum you should email the developer.

I noticed that Mirror App is really only on Android Revolution. I tested mine on other roms using the camera app and just reversing it.

Weird that it doesn't work for that rom.. Unfortunately I haven't tested that rom myself yet. I would assume that the backlights have issues because it's sense 3.0 (but don't take my word for that, I'm not 100% sure) Roms like VirtuousUnity have a fix you can flash to help with the issue... maybe flashing that may help? I can't guarantee that'll help.. I doubt it'd even work lol (I also don't use the incredible anymore but to my knowledge.. I'm pretty sure you have to wait until HTC releases updates for incredible S to have everything working!)

I think it's like this for like EVERY rom (I would blame sense but again.. not 100% sure lol)
Sorry I couldn't give you better answers! I tried.

[Q] Camera Sphere

Hello,
I have recently installed the CM 10.1 for new bootloader because I hoped to use the Camera Sphere, but it was absent from the build.
Now I've returned to the DM 1.2 30b OC, and I am interested to see if there is a way to install the application on our phones?
I tried when it first came out, I had CM10 flashed, and tried flashing the camera app through CWM but it never worked.
Has anyone here on the forums successfully managed to get Camera Sphere set and running?
Thanks.

it is a bit hard to make camera sphere work on Optimus 2X because it doesn't have enough memory. This is the main problem why is not working

I didn't know that, but no wonder, this phone really is crippled with its RAM, I mean, you cannot even play Angry Birds, open some other app and return to the game, without it reloading completely. Such a shame.

Is that also the reason why Panorama Mode crashes when I try to make full-width panoramas?

Jelly Bean 3rd Party Camera Apps

Hey all,
None of the Jelly Bean ROMS (In particular, CM 10.1) seem to have a camera that works with third party apps, like Instagram and Snapchat. The camera always ends up freezing when it opens. This even happens when attempting to change the phone security to Face Unlock; the camera freezes on opening of the setup for face unlock as well.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks in advanced.

Actually, I got the same problem with CM10 (not 10.1) too
I think it's a bug for a long time already, but it's better to fix those serious bugs in CM10.1 first
When we have a relatively stable CM10.1, i think hashcode will start working on the camera bug

AW: Jelly Bean 3rd Party Camera Apps
Thanks for this post. I've never seen this topic before, but I am also confused with this issue since CM10.
Has anybody already an idea for the reason of this bug?

Its bother the hell out of me, i really hope i can find a fix!!

how about snapchat?

Update: Its official, no JB ROM works with snapchat, i've tried them all ._. if someone could get a workaround to this, i would hop back to JB instantly

Is there an app that works with the video camera?

doesn't work with snapchat. app crashes when it loads the camera screen.

The stock camera is buggy with all JB roms at the moment. None of the 3rd party apps will work until the bugs are hammered out. Even the barcode scanner doesn't work. If you use any of the 3rd party apps, ICS is your choice for now.

Instagram doesn't work for me on liquid jb :/
Edit: Nevermind. Works fine if you go into instagram settings and turn off "use advanced camera"

[Q] Big Camera problem - Xperia V

Hi!
Camera in my Xperia V does not work properly. It can take pictures only in sunny day, in the dark does not turn on. I tested all the official systems (including 4.0.4 4.1.2 4.3) and CM11, everywhere the same bug. In the pictures , where a very strong light, purple stripes are visible (see the Attached Thumbnails). I thought it was hardware damaged, so I bought the camera, but unfortunately nothing changed
So anybody has idea what is wrong?

Try turning off NFC. Btw: are you using the stock camera app?

Nfc off does nothing.
In screenshot I'm using "A better camera" from google play, but now I'm using stock system with stock camera app.

Unfortunately no.
Interesting is the fact, torch turns on using flashlight applications from google play, but each of them get freezy and FC after 1-2 min. When I turn on the default application for torch in custom ROM (like Carbon, Lovins) everything is ok.

Try flashing stock 4.1.2 firmware using flashtool and do a complete wipe during the install (tick all three boxes on the right side: data, cache and something which I don't remember the name of). You might've messed something up when flashing custom roms and flashing back the stock one should fix it. Also check if your camera lens is scratched/cracked. If none of that helps. I'm afraid it's a hardware fault then. :/
Btw: I remember people talking about the camera bug which you have in 1st picture in some 4.3 rom (not the latest one). But it's the first time I've seen a bug like you have in 2nd picture.

Camera lens look perfect on both camera modules. I am surprised that after the exchange of the camera is the same problem.
I'll try flash tomorrow or later (you know, New Year) and and I'll answer.
Thanks for your support and Happy New Year :highfive:

Unfortunately, Camera has stopped
Flashing to stock 4.1.2 via flashtool nothing has changed. In a small service near me, they said that the fault of the driver on the motherboard, and there's nothing they will do.
I'm sad, because photos in the sun and underwater is doing great.
 @finac94 Thanks for trying me solve this problem
