Hi,
the criteria for me to make a rom change to CM10 are the camera and FM Radio. I was on CM7 where both work very good.
Last night I tested pengus cm10 rom and must say it´s excellent. Speed and smoothness are amazing, much better than cm7! And as I read in pengus kernel forum, battery life is even great. Thank you for your fantastic work, pengus and tonyp!!!
I tested FM Radio and its working great too, big thanks to mikereidis and sudden36!!!
The only thing is, that I´m not sure which camera is the best for this rom. And as I read many others have this problem too. I had the problem that photos in darkness sometimes have a big exposure. But I need a full working camera like in cm7. So I went back to cm7 but want to come back to this rom.
There are lot of camera mods out there but I have lost the overview.
Any suggestions/experiences?
I´m on pengus rom again.
I tried the CM10 cam which is onboard and installed the fix from pengus. Quality in normal light is good but in dark light I get the over exposure I mentioned above.
Tried signed_JB_camera_feav.apk (pengus advice in his cm10 thread) which only sometimes have an over exposure. Then I have to take a second photo from the same object. Camera focuses again and the photo is now good.

I also tried Snap Camera HDR from the market. Quality is nearly the same as camera from feav but nearly no over exposure in dark light. But sometimes it´s worse / darker than feavs camera.

I think I will stay with both, maybe I test some more cam mods.
Thank you feav for your cam mods. It´s nearly perfect. I will use it! :good:
Hope this helps!

How is you camera shooting? As i see the 3 Mpx camera should take also good pictures, but mine dont!
The camera is moving very slow, and almost always the pictures are smudged!
How is it for you, and is there any fix (a have tried several different ROM-s, and the same)
Thanks
What radio are you using? A lot of camera issues are resolved when you flash the recommended radio to go with it.
I'm using SGS, and runing the Froyo.JHJP4 (Israeli Orange ROM),
One of the problems was with the camera that didn't work at first, so I installed a fix for that (GT-I9000PTRJP4_KERNEL.zip).
after that I tested the camera and discovered something very annoying:
The quality of the camera got much worse compared to the 2.1 version,
and it looks as if it's in constant "Night mode"... so the image moves slowly while moving the camera, and the images are very grained and quality is down.
I checked the settings, and everything look normal:
The night mode is OFF
and the Quality is at BEST.
Anyone familiar with this problem??
I really like this ROM and don't want to change it again, but the camera is important to me...
THANX!
Hi guys. Recently I've noticed a bad camera problem with my IncS. You see when I open the camera app ( on MIUI's ROM ) it lags pretty badly. When I point the camera at one direction, and move to another, it lags. But if I repeatedly click my menu softkey button while moving my camera around, it doesnt lag at all. Does anyone know a fix to this? Thanks in advance!
oh and I restored back to the original ROM I had running which was the official htc's latest rom for the IncS and the camera works fine. no lag issues. Seems like when I flash AOSP roms, the camera lags. help?
I find any AOSP rom has laggy camera in low light
When I take it to better lighting conditions the lag goes away
You're not alone mate
I think it has something to do with trying to take in as much light as possible when there is not enough
@markj338 yeah I actually thought that that might be a possible reason to its horrible lag, so I took it outside this afternoon at around 12pm. It was bright but still the lag was there. And just to be clear, its no ordinary lag. It's like if i point at one place, it shows that place, but when I move my camera away, it waits for around 10 seconds before it shows that place. If you get what I'm trying to say here.. Sorry for the horrible english. But yeah.. that's the problem :/ thanks anyway appreciate it.
Oh mine only lags a bit
When I move, the image will be slow and distorted and will take its time to focus
But not 10 secs, mine is like less than 1, its just choppy and distorted
I'm on CM 7.2
Mine could probably be classified as 'ordinary lag'
Like if you were using a crappy low range phone
What rom are you using, and does this happen in all lighting conditions?
@markj338 well right now im back on my sense rom. the official one. I restored. But I tried miui's rom, cm7.2 and the camera's the same. When I click the menu button repeatedly, then it's ok. but if i dont click anything, it lags a lot....... so yea
Strange.
But I do find the sense camera to be the best
My camera takes 2-3 seconds to take a picture, and it's quite often out of focus too.
This has always been a problem for me on Cyanogen 7, and also Slim ICS 4.2 (both CM9 kernel and Semaphore).
Anyone know what the cause might be? I can't find much on google/xda about slow GT-I9000 cameras.
I don't remember the stock ROMs ever being that slow.
Hi
the problem of the slow autofocus is caused by the camera (hardware) and i noticed, that it take ages to focus, when you try to make a picture in the dark. I read that the Valuepack has a faster autofocus but now i flashed the valuepack and its as slow as it is on any other rom. I think this problem can't be solved so far...
hi guys i know this question is bit annoying but i would like to know if this is possible to make our camera when taking picture to continuously focus on a object and when i change the camera position it automatically focus on object, i notice that when im taking picture using o2x it took almost 3seconds sometimes 5-6 seconds to focus and that's really annoying, specially when im taking a picture of me together with my friends our smile is fading before the camera focus itself perfectly and i believe if this feature include on our camera it can take photos much faster
i saw a youtube video o4xHD vs o2x i dont know if thats the video but from what i saw o2x camera taking some time to focus but the o4x it continuously taking picture quickly when touch the capture button on screen
so is there a possibility to make this mod in our camera so it can enhance the capturing time
are you on v28 ics?
v30 ICS camera is 2x/3X faster with everything you do with camera app
and v30 does have better flash photo's (not overexposed by flash)

I agree. May be not quite 2-3 times faster in my experience, but definitely faster. And yes, flash also works well. It may not be a very typical usage of a phone camera, but today I had to make a couple of photos of printed pages (very small font, about 6pt) with a flash in a poorly lit room, and the quality was well beyond my expectations. Perfectly readable text, nice contrast and minimal noise, with no editing at all.
yes im on v28, good to hear but is there any possibility to mod our camera to take photos much faster without focusing 2-3 seconds everytime i took pictures? i know our camera hardware is not design like that but it is possible?

a camera that is not focusing make blurry pix.
however tap the screen to focus manual and then take a picture reduces the time.
first thing you might do is install v30 ICS because it has a faster cam
