In the threads about the 'new' ROMs / MODs its said that the camera won't work because of missing drivers. I (can) understand that.
But I also read that some apps can take pictures or record a video. How is that possible without prober drivers?
Do those apps have some driver-replacement code in them?
Just trying to understand the problem
I really miss the cam, but I like the improvements the MODs give to the rest ...

I installed Orange's ROM on my SGS2 (JHKG2), it works fine except I can't save options in camera. I want to disable the "outdoor visibility" option, but it stays enabled in the next time I use camera.
Anyone know what I should do to get it fixed?

Same problem ...
I would qualify this as a urgent bug
I think that i9100 is more and more dissapointing. It is powerful but power is useless if limited by stupid bugs and malfunctions like these
I believe the code of the camera.apk should be patched or modified to simply include the save setting function
Seems like the samsung devs coded their app too fast ..
want another example of functions not implemented ? :
No sending priority settings in mms or in email... no one complains ... they wont fix it, though it is simple... getting my nerves !! ...so much that i tried to mod the code myself but gave up for now, lacking of time.
Funny though this camera settings bug was already present in the i9000 and other android phones...
seems like we're in the copy/paste era
the best thing to do is to ask a real dev or modder specialized with camera.apk, like potatoman ....maybe he would be kind enough to find the fix
regards
Let mr chrck if i can find that code, if i do fixing will be easy

Hey,
does someone know, why one of the Promoted 4.0 features, "video snapshots"
is not available in AOSP builds like Cyanogenmod? it means you can take a high-res photo while recording video at the same time.
It is an android 4.0 feature and not specific to the HTC One X as some people suggested earlier (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64JulxSOjzc&feature=relmfu#t=46m13s)
It does not need a special camera sensor since it is available in the value pack for the galaxy S i9000 (http://www.sammobile.com/2012/04/10/guide-samsung-galaxy-s-s-value-pack/)
does someone know how this comes?
The Samsung camera hardware drivers are not open source and are therefore not part of AOSP, the CM devs have modded the AOSP camera apk to run on the SGS2 camera, but not all features are implemented, until a couple of weeks ago you couldn't even save video taken with the SGS2 camera, if it's possible to implement, I'm sure they will at some point, be patient. If you want it faster than 12/24/2045 I suggest downloading the sources for the AOSP camera and see if you can add the features yourself.

yeah, i know that video recording wasn't working until just recently (i've been using CM9 since the first nightlies)
i wish i could help with this feature but i have barely any clue of coding so i would be of no use
Generally the CM team worries about things actually working and working properly before they get into added features, they've made a lot of progress but there are still a few issues that are probably on the list above camera snapshot, patience is always the key with these things.
I apologize if this has been asked before, I did search but may not have hit the right combo of key words...
I am running epinter's CM10 and while following the thread (and others) have seen some folks ask the following question when responding to others that are having issues... "Do you have hardware acceleration enabled/disabled?"
first, before anyone misunderstand my actual question, I know that we don't actually have hardware acceleration on the CM builds.
But my question is: Are there specific apps or type of app where unchecking the box makes a hugh difference? And if so is there a list anywhere? Would it be things that are camera / gallery related? would it be certain games which have more intense graphics (which since I don't use any may be why I haven't seen the difference...)
any of your experiences would be appreciated.

Hi,
i want to swap to a AOSP based rom but i want to be able to take some samsung apks with me... is this at all possible?
the ones i want are:
Dialer (Phone)
Alarm clock
Samsung memo
Gallery
Calculator
Web Browser
fm radio
txt message apk
Most (or all) of these apps require touchwiz framework, so the answer is yes and no.
Yes, if you take also the Samsung's Touchwiz launcher and some libraries (jut enough for these apps to work), but then, that defeats the purpose of going to AOSP.
No, not if you don't want Samsung touchwiz at all.
im sure ive seen people using samsungs camera on AOSP and also "s memo"... :S have they had coding changed to be ported or something?
if so does anyone have any idea if any of the apks ive mentioned have also been ported??

I have used it myself.
You will need to flash it with CMW recovery.
I can't use the camera app. Sing! app by smule is also not working perfectly. When I start to sing with the video recording turned on, it starts recording nicely and my face is shown in the screen through my webcam. But after my recording, i can't see any video that recorded. A black screen is showing instead of that.
So please help me....
I am using Remix OS for PC.
If the camera is not working, it means that the drivers are probably missing from the kernel.
There are threads here that deal with replacing the kernel, so you should checl them as they may help.

Sorry about the late reply, I don't have as much time as I used to have.
As I has already stated, there are multiple threads dedicated to that purpose, you just need to search the subforum, and I stress this, the is a search function, you need to search and read.
And here is a (recent) example of such a thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/remix-os-updated-to-kernel-android-x86-t3596789
