Here is a quick video I made of mrinehart93's alpha of cyanogenmod booting, all I did was take a video.

Can someone upload pics of 2.3.2 rom by jerpelea for me. I can't see what all the hype is about. people are already making a jump to gingerbread and I have no idea what it looks like. I am using 2.2 by z which is amazing. Just want to see what all the talk is about. thanks. I didn't see the pics on jerpelea's forum.
There are a few pictures in the second post. I also made a video of v0009 and a brief video of the screen off animation (as can be seen in my signature) on my youtube channel. If you are happy with Z's Beta 4, stick with it. It has the camera working whereas the newest version of 2.3 does not have it implemented yet. I would upgrade if you want the "Coolness" factor of having Gingerbread when no one else has it yet. It's only a minor upgrade as of now. IMO, there are not any must have features on the phone except for the screen off and on animations (screen on lags at the moment) and the sound equalizer. Hope this helps and definitely check out my vids.
Peace.
I see scattered posts all over the forums about taking pictures with the G-Tab's camera - only to have them come out highly pixelated and very, VERY low resolution. It happens to me under CM7, and has been just as bad with other ROMs I've tried.
And taking videos is simply a non-starter. Freezes after 2 sec and nothing is saveable.
Has anyone come up with a solution/fix? Thanks!
I believe the video recording issue is due to the lack of hardware drivers for video encoding/decoding for Gingerbread...

Definitely Video recording is because there are no hardware drivers available for gingerbread from what i read and for the camera you may want to try another camera app, but it could be related to not having hardware drivers.
Makes sense...except for anyone with Gingerbread! Thanks, all.
BTW, check out the latest CM7 nightly 42... the camera works great including video recording!!!

(slapping forehead) I just went back to VEGAnTab to use the camera. #[email protected]%#^&!
Okay...thanks! Back to CM7.
Is this a new release? Last cm7 i tested was nightlies 41 and cam/ video was all bugged up.
[edit]
WOW awesome they fixed this issue. I'm almost convinced to flash this back on my g tab and test it out again.

Well, sorry. Flashed and still very pixelated stills. Recording a video doesn't crash the app, but nothing in playback except inky darkness. Sigh.
Video works "OK"... not great... pics are still pixelated tho!!

Well that's not quite "the camera works great including video recording!!!" - is it, Craig? Come on, man. Test it before making declarations like that.
Sorry. A little peeved since I reflashed my tab for this.
yeah... it seemed to work great... I wasn't expecting great video quality, so it was what I expected... but the photos looked good in the Gallery app... but were pixelated when I viewed them on my PC...
really sorry for "semi-false" news!!
Still no photo and video for GTab Ginger?
This really is too bad. I have Gingerbread on my GTab and the photo quality is terrible (pixilated) and the video does not work. The photos were really clear before I flashed to Gingerbread. I can't seem to find a satiffactory solution anywhere. Then there is the whole issue of video chat....

gojimi is working on a fix for his VEGANtab ginger edition, no eta yet but like all things gingerbread, eventually it will work.
If you must have camera/video/hardware acceleration for video playback, stick with froyo based roms for now.
Anyone know when the camera is coming out?
i cant wait till camera works
i'm just waiting for the camera to be release and i'm changing rom straight away!
Its works low Res with camera illusions

This was written a thousand times already, search before you ask.
i was with a friend today at a coffee shop. He had a nexus 4 (stock) and i had my s3 with cm10.1. i have 200 apps installed on my phone at the moment, and i also run swipepad, a LWP and Fps meter. we had a speed test between both phones, out come? my s3 with CM10.1 (stock kernel just updated) raped the nexus 4!
here are the tests we did:
apps:
phone dialer
play store
email camera
messaging
facebook
twitter
chrome
dead trigger
youtube
currents
appy geek
whatsapp
kik
earth
clock
gallery
other tests
Boot time
3G speed
here is the out come:
apps:
phone dialer: Nexus 4
play store: nexus 4
email: s3
camera: s3
messaging:s3
facebook: nexus 4
twitter: s3
chrome: nexus 4
dead trigger: s3
youtube: nexus 4
currents: s3
appy geek: s3
whatsapp: s3
kik: s3
earth: s3
clock: s3
gallery: nexus 4
other tests
Boot time: nexus 4
3G speed: neuxs 4
as you see the results are all over the place. but the s3 won 11 to 8 WITHOUT ANY EXYNOS SOURCES. granted it would be great to have them cos the while the s3 beat the crap out of the nexus 4, the nexus 4 had MUCH smoother animations. the s3 had really jerky ones.
the cm team have done a AMAZING JOB! a truly amazing one without sources! i can't imagine how amazing cm10.1 would be with the sources
**don't go hating on me**
Yeah, imagine sources & documentation...

Don't get me wrong, I think cm is much better than stock Samsung roms.
I use a dual boot setup with cm and stock based rom.
Everything you wrote may be right but still there are some very basic reasons for me not to make a complete switch and leave stock behind:
1. Camera quality is still noticeably better on stock roms
2. Bluetooth is working much better on stock roms
3. Battery life is better on stock roms

yes, true. but again each rom, Sammy or AOSP has their own advantages! i still need to wait to dualboot cm10.1 and NULL_14 i need to update my sig.
I really want to go to a cm rom and stick to it forever but due to the lack of documentation i have to switch back everytime i set it up and get comfy with it.. Like the other day i wanted to take a quick video of my friends birthday party. But as soon as i pulled out my phone the camera crashed.. It's these little things that make me change back to stock..
If samsung did put out the proper documentation for Exynos or Exynos themself then imagine how awesome cm would be.. Till then i just can't make a permanent switch.. But i really do love the asop rom.. Oh well till they do release the sources i will keep using my nexsus 4 or my nexsus 7 tab..

yeah, i found that too. the Camera on ALL cm roms SUCK! but then again, stock is slower...... so since i don't use my cam often i am on cm10.1. if i did, i would be on the best rom for camera quality
Agreed..
The awkward moment when you open the camera app and it says "Camera cannot connect" then the shot is ruined.. Ahh fooze balls.
Ohh well its a small price we pay for being geeks

hell yeah! but my camera ALWAYS connects just the flash is buggy
Is it true that if we flash cyanogenmod on our galaxy players than the camera doesn't work anymore? I still have hope that my galaxy player 4.2 gets cm on it someday.

It actually depends on what player you're referring to. If you're referring to the 4.2, CM7 does not have a working camera and there are no devs to try and fix that. Obviosly, CM7 is not a daily driver for us. But, the other players like the 4.0 and 5.0 have gradually improved from a non-functioning camera to almost completely stable camera on CM11. Basically, it depends on the developer. If the dev is really keen on making a ROM a daily driver, he/she will definately work on the camera. But if he just wants to make a ROM bootable, only the major problems like wi-fi, bluetooth etc. will be fixed as camera has a low priority in the mind of a dev.
Wow makes sense. I always wondered why it wasn't working with cm7. I hope cm 11 on the 3.6 has a working camera.

I don't think that will be necessary. I am sure most of the people who have a galaxy player have another android phone, or atleast a good camera that they carry around. No one depends on their player's camera to get their job done. So I think that the dev should focus on fixing other bugs and/or porting Android L when it comes out, or port other ROMs like Carbon and PAC. Personally, I use my player only for music and videos and the occasional browsing, but extremely rarely to take pics, because no one cares about a 2MP pic.
Lol this is very true. I use my phone to take pictures. Rarely used my players. I guess you are right. A usable camera isn't necessary. As long as the WiFi and audio works than I'm satisfied. Question about holofrenzy. Is there an new update? The ota updater says there is but it's version 1.3 as well.
