Hi This I the most annoying trouble for me... I noticed that many roms have up to 3 seconds of freeze in Camcorder or lgCamera
I tried to decrease camera quality in build.prop and no results, also ported media_profiles.xml from cm7 no results...
formated sd card and removed EXT4 partition and switched back to stock kernel also no results !!
now I am running Thunder bolt 4 rom and ODEXED it I found that the lag reduced and happens t'ill 1:19 min recording
so please help me to know what is the reason ?

tried out with some third party apps like lgcamera,camera zoom fx etc , the photo mode is fine only the vid rec is laggy,jus wanted to know from those who used gx v22? wat is the problem? any soln rather then installing some other roms over again?

Hi everyone...
i have this rom : cm-9-20120611-NIGHTLY-galaxysmtd
Camera have some problem.
Sometimes Camera doesn't work (not so often).
ALWAYS Video Camera doesn't work!
Any solution?
thanks
which rom did you use previously. did you follow the instructions as stated on the CM9 Nightlies thread.
I'm thinking this is caused by some installation problems, Try reflashing the ROM and see if it helps(with wipes if required).
Good Luck
Can you play videos and stream with youtube? do you have a bigmem kernel?
I flashed with new releas of 06.15 and it's seems to work... thanks dude!

Not what I meant but nevermind, you wrote it already Worked for me, so sth must be wrong... Flash ROM, take a few pics with camera on 5mp and then flash the patch. That's the way it worked for me...
Did you try to clean the camera's data?

I have used both v30A and V30B. Major difference I have observed between these versions is " V30B is lag free as compared to V30A. because of no lag/less lag V 30B seems to be very fast and smooth. I recommend people to go for V30B instead of sticking with V30A.
I heard the camera is also better in vc30b?Tnx
I'm testing 30B in Italy since dec 25.
The boot.img (includes kernel) has different md5 then 30A, the bootloader is the same.
The test is not completed but I can say that the overall smoothness and performance are better then 30A, in addition:
the battery drain is lower, the camera seems to be better but I have to make more photos/videos, sd scan is a bit faster.
BUT I had two unexpected power off at low battery charge: at 3% and in screen off while connecting to the wall, at 15% while sending a whatsapp msg
On v30b, camera has options to disable sutter sound..

The shut off at 3% is normal, my phone shut off at 2% on V30A a few seconds after showing a message "Phone is going to shut off", it is to save battery from being damaged by a low voltage (lithium batteries don't like that)

Stock 30x are odexed roms, each system app has .apk and .odex files, is this ok? If yes I'll upload them late this afternoon.
Edit: I think that you can have only one version of this camera app, therefore you must replace the system app files you have already installed with these ones.

Help me with testing
30B has some serious bug in camera app
1. like when I press volume up and down to zoom in and zoom out instead of that it takes picture right away. Only way to zoom is pinch to zoom
2. second bug is like we cannot zoom during video recording mode. If I press volume up or down button it stops recording straightaway and pinch to zoom does not work here in video recording mode. Big mess
3. focus is not proper image are blurry all the time
4. takes lots of time to focus and click an image like say 4 seconds earlier it was much quicker in GB ROM
If anyone can provide a solution to work around this problem I will really appreciate it. anyone can plz PM or reply me after checking in their cell phone whether their phone is facing same in problem in 30B?

Thank you for this report. I repeated your tests right now
1. I like this solution
2. You're right: no dinamic zoom, you have to zoom before starting the recording (I don't remember that on GB roms you could do this, I didn't)
for 3. and 4. I need to do more tests but I must say that 2x never had good focus except in bright light, I agree that camera on GB roms was better. I'll compare pictures and video on PC before reaching a definitive judgement.
I think that, except for focus problems, these are not bugs but specific operative solutions.

All apk and odex files should be in the same place, /system/app.

but it is the only *.odex file in that folder?
both are in app folder and wiping dalvik cache and restart did not work, the camera app and icon are still missing.
i renamed the v30a CameraApp.apk so lets see if it comes back after restart

So if i do not have any *.odex file in the system/app i have a deodexed rom?
This mod improves the camera on the Nexus 4 by increasing the 720p and 1080p video and audio bitrate, and increasing the image decoding memory cap. This is done without replacing the media_profiles.xml file with a modified one! The script searches for entries and changes them, so no other entries are affected. This ensures the mod is pretty much future proof if any changes are made to other parts of the file in future ROM updates. This mod also includes an addon.d script.
What is addon.d?
On some ROMs, like Cyanogenmod, there are scripts in /system/addon.d that run during a ROM update or flash. They can backup and restore system apps (like Gapps), or perform many other functions. This mod includes an addon.d script, so the mod is not lost during a ROM update! If your ROM doesn't support addon.d, this mod should still flash properly, but you won't benefit from addon.d.
Tested and Confirmed to work on:
CyanogenMod 10.1
It should work on any AOSP based ROM for the Nexus 4. Let us know if it works!

Read the OP. The end result is similar. It's how we get there, plus addon.d that is different.
Looks like the same one you did for the Camera silent but with this one. Nice, will flash so I don't have to reflash everytime.
Everytime I try to open the camera app, it crashes and says " gallery stopped responding"!!

Does this actually improve the sound quality when recording to usable levels? Just so far stock levels are absolutely shocking.

Well i think that happens because the Video bitrate is set too high.
If i am not wrong the mod here does similar things than the other one [MOD] Increase Camera Audio/Video/Image Quality.
So I tried to set once bitrate to 30000000 than to 20000000 and my app crashed everytime.
if i am wrong sorry for my useless post =/

I guess I'm a little confused. This mod currently sets the 1080p video bitrate to 20000000, not 30000000. It is or it isn't force closing at 20000000?
