[Q] saving camera options - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?
Tamir

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

[Android] Want Froyo?

incubus26jc has released a Froyo (Androis 2.2) port for the vogue. This *might* as always work on nike. If you want to give it a shot, here's the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712310
Btw: The vogue community is way faster than g1, still waiting for froyo to hit my device
i have try it, it works for me, and the same bug, difficult to receive call, no bluetooth, no camera. And with the newest kernel - broken sound. Can you fix that kernel?can we ask dzo to fix kernel for Nike user?is there a way to make bluetooth and camera working?
Yeah, lagloose already informed me about the kernel problems. I don't have much time coding atm, but i gave it a quick shot yesterday.
Havent tested it yet as my touch dual is somewhere in a drawer at home and i have to look for it .
If you want to give it a try and report back if it works:
http://84.23.71.227/kerneloftheday/zImage_audiotest
BTW, nice to hear that the rom is working.
€: In principle it should be possible to get the cam and bt to work. I tried to play around with BT, but I was not able to get it working. Must have missed something...
looks like you are the only one who can compile Nike kernel, just contact dzo, he doesn't have time to did it for Nike user, he asked me to find someone who know some C and linux box to make the kernel. maybe we can asked some tips from him and applied it on Nike kernel?
i think the first thing is to make receiving call working, it seems like when using android, it is difficult to make our phone ring when receiving call and why this made we can't use our phone with android.
hope you can spend sometime for this problem, i'm very appreciated your work for Nike communities... thank you very much
testing...
Mblaser, I tested the kernel, touchscren not work!
OK, I will try again tomorrow. Messed up my kernel autobuild and have to fix it first...
sound working for me, it's back to normal again although in highest volume level it is still too loud and the sound is a little broken, but seems find in lower sound level, maybe a little more adjustment to that will make it better.
and just find another thing, i have my receiving call problem solved even i'm activated vibrate function. for now hope mblaster and maxxd01 can make bluetooth and camera working in zimage kernel.
here is what i did:
1. update newest kernel using mblaster kernel with audio bug free from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7021840&postcount=3
2. using phone prioritizer from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558822
this will make android a much more usability

[Q] Call recording on ICS

Has anyone got two way voice recording working on any of the ICS releases, whether a MOD or a 3rd Party app?
I tried a couple (killer mobile and call recorder) but no luck.
same here. call recorder always worked 100%
Anyone? Still can't find one that will work....aaarrrggg.
I would like to know too. I heard Samsung has removed the necessary call recording libraries in ICS. Hope that is not true.
afaik it will work soon, becuase the ics kernel sources are published today. that will grant many developers to fix everything which cant be fixed before. afaik the call recording problem inlcuded!
Looking forward to this. I loved that on GB. There is a tutorial @ "Original Android Development" category (for GB), maybe someone can start from there to make it work on ICS?
-Aeth.

Before I use CallRecorder but now it does not work ok
me too. that was very useful as it recorded automatically
I can confirm, call recorders does not work on ICS.
I tried almost all available from the market, but no success.
I need it too
Sent from my GT-I9100
This seems to be an useful thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482721 - this actually points to a easy way of getting call recording functionality back!
Here's my understanding from the thread. Basically there are three files in /system/lib that are used for call recording API -
libaudioflinger.so
libaudio.so
libaudiopolicy.so
(It's interesting to note that out of these, only the first is there in ICS.)
If we copy the files from 2.3.6, and replace/add the files, there's a good chance that we will get back call recording. Now to get these files... does anybody have the older version, or know how to extract these files from the ROMs?
SOLVED XD - Need to know if it's reliable
Hi,
I have tried "Auto Call Recorder" (free) and seems to work ok.
Without any patchs or modifications on the rom it works ok recording from mic (depending on you it could be wnought or not).
QUESTION 1:
Someone could tell us if this program is realiable? (I mean, if we can trust in it).
Because it have several permissions that I'm not sure it should have or if it's neccesary.
It has 100.000 - 500.000 installations and 4 star score
How can we be sure if this program is not spying us?
RECORDING WITH API (not mic)
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551353 I have found a thread where there are two ICS libs (different from the GB ones) that sould fix the problem and should allow to record from API, so we could get clear and loud sound.
Files are audio.primary.exynos4.so & audio_policy.exynos4.so in /system/lib/hw
Files can be downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/?r2wgv821w1uutzd or from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=955906&d=1332235902 (both are binary same)
QUESTION 2:
Again reliability.
Someone could tell us if this libs are realiable? (I mean, if we can trust in it).
I have downloaded "ZSLPE" that is supposed to have call recording and this libs are the same that the original in XXLPQ, and are different of the downloable ones that I say before (supposely patched).
If ZSLPE have call recording, why libs are the same that XXLPQ?
Where are this "patched" libs from?
Again the same question, are this "patched" libs reliable?
Perhaps I could be some paranoid, but I don't want a spy on my phone or something worse, and I want to be sure that all my phone conversations (or any other personal data) are not sent to anyone.
Probably is stupid to think that anyone could be interested in my bored conversations, but those are mine...
Greetings
^ Thanks given
For security concern, you may want to try out LBE Privacy Guard... I use it. It can help you to deny certain permissions for any program which you think has no business asking for the permission.
You may question that program more though, as it asks for a lot more permissions in return for the power!
Personally, I would trust the libraries and the auto call recorder - the permissions it asks seem legit. I checked the hack works with Total Recall too, so if you feel more comfortable you could use that.

Could you explain what you mean by this I not sure I understand.
Thanks to everyone who has been responding it looks like we might not be too far away from call recording on ICS. WooHoo!

I installed the two .so files mentioned in this thread into /system/lib/hw -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551353&page=2
After a while this worked for me, for both Total Recall and Auto Call Recorder. I have DXLP7 with CFRoot LP7 kernel.
Alternatively, according to the same thread, in ZSLPE call recording works from start.
Let me know if that helps, or I can answer any other questions to get it working for you.

in phone settings - extend settings, you can set it automatic for incomming and outgoing calls. works like a charm here and records both sides (i'm using resurrection rom 1.0 too)

Words from CM7/MIUI's developers/ How to Use English version of MIUI

I don't know it's a right place to write down this kind of thread. But it contains a contents about ROM so... I think this Forum is right place.
Okay Let's starts it.
Here are some informations and news about CM7 and MIUI for streak.
First I'm not good at English so some sentences were broke and I don't know I can write down what I want to said.
When I find that both ROMs were on xda, I announce it to hPa, developer who ports CM7/MIUI for streak and HeffyEnd who translate MIUI into Korean and add some patches.
they posted some article at Korea's dell streak user community and HeffyEnd show a way to use the MIUI into English. HeffyEnd tries to write about that at xda but he didn't write a post or thread at xda yet so I posts it.
First, hPa says he will upload and posts some informations and datas at xda's Streak Forum.
He says he will upload data about CM7 and MIUI's development and also how to change Streak's frame late into 55Hz. He will comes to this forum so if someone want to ask something, ask to him.
and he also say he didn't know how exactly he active a 2.4Ghz at Streak. He didn't tries to fool the developers and users, he didn't know the what's the problem of this fake clock(or useless 2.4Ghz… well I don't know to what to call this happening) problem so he just guesses about it.
He says his CM7 uses different clock rule after 988MHz, so He guesses the two tables which able to over clock to 1.4Ghz and 2.4Ghz are actually shows the same result without clock rate they show it.
and Korean user Deltaman tries a test on CM7 and figure our that the effect of over clock decrease after 1267Mhz. Aututu score increased when he increase the clock after 1267Mhz but effect was decrease. and result of 1806/2208/2476MHz is almost same(3216/3352/3351 point).
I say once again. "He didn't tried to fool others. It just a accident or something like that."
by the way, He hopes that xda's developers will make improve versions bases of his develop result. Yes, he hopes it.
Second, HeffyEnd says that there is a way to use the English version of MIUI.
There is a two MIUI rom. One is released by hPa and the other one is translated and modified by HeffyEnd. At the xda's link, I think It's the HeffyEnds.
HeffyEnds rom is optimized to Korean not for other country's so it's hard to use it outside Korea so use the hPa's MIUI instead.
http://www.mediafire.com/?y16376w3a8shlwi
At this link, you can download a original hPa's MIUI. Download this ROM and modify it's build.prop file.
When you open the build.prop file, you can see the text like below
ro.product.locale.language=ko
ro.product.locale.region=KR
change ko and KR into en and EN so both line will change like these
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=EN
save it and install it. HeffyEnd says to use this way, you can use the English version of MIUI.
by the way, this ROM is customized to Korean's phone number system so… It doesn't fit to other country's one. I mean some phone number at address book could be looks odd.
and I need to add some information about MIUI.
This MIUI ROM needs some times to stable after installation. After you install and reboot it. Do not touch streak about 5~10min to Rom will takes stable. I recommend 15min for safety.
If you uses phone without this rest time or try to use too fast, This rom show some errors. When I tried to use little bit hurry, I failed to add my google account at MIUI. So I reinstalled it and take a 15mins breaks, It works fine.
There is a more things you need to before you uses MIUI.
- Goes setting->My Location->Automatic Assisted GPS to OFF. If you don't do it. GPS didn't works well.
- Run superuser application and turn off the root. push the setting button on streak to call a menu and select a setting. At there you see the Root permission control, Turn off and turn it on again. After that, reboot.
- At the home screen, push device's menu button -> goes to home setting -> turn off and on the high quality and shadow.
and finally, I don't exactly know about that, MIUI has a problem when you using the titanium backup's full recovery mode(data and apps), So don't use it or partly recover what you needs. In my opinion, I recommend you to re setting datas manually.
In contrast, MIUI recovery works fine.
and last... I want to say about other ROM develop tries at Korea. I don't know those developer like to announce it but this is a common information at Korea so it thinks it doesn't make an problem.
- Three developers were tries to make a CM9. They has a their own version of CM9 test rom. I don't know now they uses hPa's data but they were trying to make it.
- The other ROM developer calls lonkey12 ,who makes a ROM calls LICS MOD(It does not released on XDA), tries to port CM7. It's the different to hPa's try. There is a some rumor that he tries to port CM9, but I failed to check it's true.
- There is a one more developer tries to develop custom ROM for Streak. NeCoritol who makes a NeCoroiD ROM(You can see his name and his rom at xda wiki but not uploaded here) tries somethings. I don't know what exactly he makes but he tries something.

WOW! Thank you so much dear! its really nice to see working and stable miui rom on my streak! we can use this for daily use
yes, and u also can change any other values in BP (e.g. DPI, heapsize, etc) - preflash
Hey! How great is this? Would someone be kind to post pictures of the MIUI rom and provide us with their user experience with it?
Ive been on the CM7 rom, and can say its the best rom available.. though the battery drain is worse but i dont use my streak as a phone.

that feature is available on Google's version of ICS, which is AOSP, but also in AOKP/CM9, I have AoCP from The Collective Team and I have full screen caller id, if you're running stock , well that's AT&T/Samsung's fault for not adding it to their dialer, you can try this app out and see if you like it, I don't think you need root for it or anything else. good luck
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androminigsm.fscifree&hl=en
Hey thanks roloracer, this is kinda a no brainer Att Ics? Coming from a windows phone and boy that feature looks just great. Every day I'm getting closer to the ROOT of the matter. Thanks again.
Related question, but backwards.
How would you disable this feature?
Looked through all the options I can find in CM9 (h0tw1r3, not the official CM9) and can't find anything about it.
I don't have contact pictures for 75% of my contacts, and the ones I do have are seemingly tiny images that look terrible on the Note full screen.

@DAGr8*;
thanks for info ..........yes I was wondering , if there is a way to do this eg > lower the resolution of pic ( thus able to add bigger size for display on Ausoem note screen)
will that maybe solve this issue?
<< this feature was one of Major reasons why I went from ICS stock to another ROM from Xda forum>>
I find stock ICS from att =has several things lacking and a MAJOR DISSPOINTMENT

[Q] When adblock means more harm than good...

My appologies
1st I'm fairly alien to the idea of going into editing files etc or indeed anything thats without some form of GUI for an idiot like me:cyclops:
2nd maybe this should really be in the Archidroid ROM developers forum,
but I think this may be a similar problem with other Ad-block apps.
I'm running Archidroid 2.3.5 and the ad:cyclops:block is great except there's a few rare occasions when I actually need to see the contents of an ad, whether it's because it contains a confirmation code or because it covers most of the screen except a close button...somewhere.
So the big question is how can I turn the adblock off so it will show those ads?
...or even better somehow have an on/off switch???
Thanks
