No.too bad.

what a shame ........... oh well atleast i got a crap light for when i loose my keys !!!!!
For the record, the camera flash problem is NOT a 2.1 limitation - it's an SE limitation. I am using 2.1. They need to get off their butts and include something basic like this.
The Vignette app can be purchased on the marketplace that will give you a flash, but it replaces the stock camera interface. That is the only solution I have found so far and there is still no free solution.
i have installed Vignette and auto flash and flash on, are no more there, it's seems that 2.1 update changed the Vignette app

Update to the last version.
It works.
Too bad with Vignette you can only take pictures of rocks.
Is too damn slow in starting and saving pictures...
actually.. the flash problem is in 2 parts.. 1. SE made it a pain in the 455 to switch it on..
and 2. it's not a flash.. it's a fairly mediocre LED light. mostly useful for "finding your keys in the dark".!

Hi all,
When taking close up photos using my x10, it focuses correctly but then looses focus and takes a blurry photo. Is there any way I can stop it from doing this? I have tried various settings but nothing seems to do the trick.
Thanks in advance

I had this same issue soon after I got my X10 (brand new).
I had installed a lot of task killers (like most new android users!), and some camera apps like Camera360.
My X10 now focuses perfectly, I did:
- Removed task killers
- Removed juice defender
- Turned on touch-to-capture in standard camera app
- Started using Vignette
And somewhere along the line the above fixed it.
Well I use battery boost, and Advanced Task Killer Pro, but I have turned the 'Touch to capture' feature on and it seems to do the trick, just not alot of the time
Thanks anyway

No that didn't help, but thanks anyway
Also I got the vignette app, and it does exactly the same
ya that happened to me too.. you actually have to back out just a little bit and then it's fine.
Auto focus for video recording on the galaxy s... Download is in the video description.

i guess it says its only for 2.2.x ROMs and specifically mentions darky's ROM, anybody want to test it on their vibrants?
ill be the brave soul once i get home .....i just need to back up my stuff just to be sure..
I'll try it when I get home also.

Ok so the update works, not perfect, but works well. It also works with tge hacked camera apk from sgstools. It has the option to use the power button for shutter. Install the hacked cam first, then update the firmware in the OP and reboot.

I can confirm this working on Lokiv1-3 w/ Dead horse test 35. Works pretty well in my quick test it just took a moment to kick in and then it worked great and I will upload a sample video.
All you do is download the .apk and install it
then look in your apps drawer for 'camera firmware' and click on it
let it run through it's process then reboot
after reboot enjoy your new cam
Here's the vid just watch it til near the end when it kicks in.

uh oh... installed the .apk. opened it. let it do it's thing. closed it. rebooted. opened the camera, switched to camcorder. now it's frozen. :/ bionix v-1.0
edit: nvm. i guess video recording just doesn't work in 176x144. strange.
edit: nvm again. it completely slowed my phone down for some reason. flashing bionix 1.2 to see if there's a difference now
Just tested on bionix 1.2 all resolutions, works. Good find

When I try to install it keeps saying I already have latest ??!?! Im running M Flagship V4
edit: I guess I really do have it already
What does it actually do, and is it possible to include it in a ROM without having to use the installer?
Does this affect video quality in any way? 720p still works and looks great?

your tip fixed my camera i think bud
Good.I hardly use the camera cos the light should work automatically,like the flash in a normal camera.
Ive tried about 7 custom roms and kernels in the last 2 weeks and they all have problems.Ive come to the conclusion that dkv06-1113 with optimized stock rom speeds up system and more importantly-stuff continues working.
App removal
Startup optimizing
Memory optimizing
The only thing I miss would be a slight increase in speaker volume(not full- on xloud which thrashes your speaker).

I see you were getting involved in theme changing stuff-that could have some impact on your camera/system.Im tempted to muck about with that,but I'll wait.
The galaxy rom was my favourite,but I see alzbac has abandoned that and I think hes doing a donut one.
And I think the best utility is the restore option in xrecovery......its well used
will my unlocked bl backup restore if im on locked bl at the mo
Im not sure.I unlocked my bootloader with FT,but in the DK thread he says that way is a "bypass" opposed to the "proper method"(the one with running a zip file beginning with q).It did once relock,but I cant remember if I reflashed or restored for it to happen.
Im new to all this phone stuff,my knowledge is more about sony psp and tomtoms.....
Hello !
When I am recording a movie (with antishake off or on - is the same) camera is starting to refocus after every 3 seconds when I dont have moving persons/objects and even often when I have. So, my movies are useless (unlike my old iphone 4s which is recording perfectly). Is there any trick or settings to make it better or at least useful?
Thank you

I had to update my camera firmware manualy even after updating the phone to LG8
use *#7412365# to see if the Cam fw ver is the same as Phone fw ver. If the phone version is newer you can update using the Phone to Cam write (rear)
I dont have this problem, nor on stock rom or SuperNexus
based upon general opinion and a vast number of reviews of the camera including test pictures .I would return the phone under warranty with a faulty camera .

Definitely a problem with your unit.

Samsung GS3 camera - the worst I have ever had
I have the last firmware (LG8), camera fw version is the same as phone ver, you cannot choose autofocus to be on or off (in camera record mode) and this is not a problem with my unit (I was playing with a demo unit at samsung store - works the same as mine - and i have already read about this problem everywere, even in this forum).
So, do you think this is all I can get from this camera ?
Thank you

If you tap the screen while recording it will go to manual focus and it will stop the focus hunting every 3 seconds. A button wiill then appear to switch back to auto.
