[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!!!

Indeed. well done seanzer, well done!

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] Camera working in ICS CM9 nightly build

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...

[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?

This is a good start! Thank you !

This is great! Is there a reason why you ported version 5 instead of the newer versions (6.x)? Merely curious.

Excellent, just did a quick test and photos seams sharper with gcam.
- Can you change default app for opening miniature?
- ISO setting don't work
Keep up the great work

6. X because of the problem of white balance FC. I don't know how to fix it

Donated. Great start start. Please continue working on this!

I cant use it always fc

i dearly hope that guy in the other thread who kept hammering on about wanting gcam to be ported to xperia 1 will give a fair donation to this bloke.

Hi! Ma Shao
China Mainland seems to have published nw-a100 and ZX500 Series with android 9 system
Have you tried to extract the app of the player from walkman APP (W.mucis)
For use with XPERIA phones.

What's the difference between the two apks?
Settings works, great!

M-rom you make very good custom ROMs you ever going to make for Xperia 1 I use to have m-rom on my xz premium

Portrait mode doesn't blur the background or am I missing something?

Some minor diffenence in settings.
Not all settings work, have to try some times.

My observations so far are that Gcam images look more organic and with much less artifacts than the stock camera, jpg files are also bigger with more information and hold up to editing better than the ones from the stock camera. The port is definitely worth it and I hope M-rom keeps working on it.

I can't get regular photos to work with either apk. Video works, photos w/front camera work, but can't get rear camera to work. Any tips?

No idea, both versions work for photos for me (on one of them portrait mode doesn't start). I use both.

Can anyone post comparison photos between Gcam and original ?

Portrait mode doesn't work with portrait camera.

Maybe you can check if you turned the "raw+jpg" on or not. I tried this before and it won't work. Turned off then rear camera worked.

Question Best Miui-Camera?

Hey guys, are there any miui cams?
anx is the most popular one, i guess. is it fully working? and which add ons do we need to get it fully working?
is there also a stock miui cam?
i use a gcam atm, but found out that the 2x /zoom camera isnt´t working properly(focus never correct) so i wanted a miui cam as secondary camera app.
any recommendations?
and if anx, what do i need besides anx cam itself?
thx in advance

The 2x/zoom camera is not focusing properly because it is not a 2x/zoom camera, it is a macro camera that only focuses to around 4 cm. This phone doesn't have a tele camera. If you want to use a 2x zoom, you have to use a digital one or shoot at 108 Mpix and crop.

ah, so 2x is only digital zoom? i thought stock cam had it, but i don´t remember had too many phones in my hand

2x I suppose it's a crop from full resolution or more than the default.

@L-ViZ MIUI camera has zoom up to 10x, but it's all digital, and the macro camera has its own button in the menu (Super Macro). With GCam, it depends on port, version and config - some versions show you 0.6x, 1x and 2x buttons, which represent the three cameras, and so 2x is actually the macro camera. Some versions have 1x and 2x buttons, which serve simply as shortcuts for digital zoom of given level with the currently active camera (with up to 10x available via pinch zoom) and the switching between cameras/modules is done in a different way (and the macro camera might still be referred to as 2x or tele in that case). And then there are also versions which allow you to modify the UI to an extent and rename the individual modules, in which the macro module might be actually called "macro" or something like that.
You can tell quite easily if the button is for a digital zoom or switching to a different module - switching to a different module takes time and effectively restarts the app. Digital zoom is instant, with no pauses/black screen.

@Case_ thx for the datailled explanation

have you tried using the camera apk's found on the stock MIUI? I was able to pull CameraTools.apk and MiuiCamera.apk from mine. I haven't tried them yet, I'm waiting for my 7 days to be able to unlock and try different roms.

How did you try to install the apk? with adb install?

finaly passed the 7 days probation today and was able to flash my phone to Arrow OS 11 but couldn't install MiuiCamera failed dependency on cloud-common.jar and now don't have the original rom installed anymore to get it

@~JL~ I don't think MIUI Camera works on non-MIUI ROMs anyway. That's why ANX exists.

i am using A11, which anx cam is the best and working for a11, just read someone is still using 185R, since this seems to be the best working one. anyone got newer versions and which addons were used? thx in advance
