This is a video that I made for those of you that are deciding if you want to make the leap to CM9 at its current state. Right now the Rom is very solid and there are only a few things that don't work that I have noticed. Right now the camera, HD video playback, and the microphone don't work. Other than that everything for the most part seems very good and very fast. Enjoy the 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.
Hello, first an explanation then a question...
I'm pretty experienced in installing roms, etc.
The video camera is broken in Jelly bean 4.2.x for the samsung galaxy note i717 (att).
Several other models too.
I'm really really disappointed because that means i'm going to have to go back to ICS.
I spent many many hours working on this and can only get low quality fuzzy vid that doesn't even play back.
Many others have had this issue as well, but I can't find any word on a fix.
yes, i've installed the latest GalleryGoogle.apk
i'm using the Liquid Smooth RC8.
If anyone can provide some info, is anybody working on this problem etc, that would be great.
Also, is it possible to get the older ICS camera app working with JB ? I kind of doubt it.
I did install MX camera but it showed the same behavior. it wouldn't even record...
I've tried to post to the developer section for Liquid Smooth i717 but I'm "Not allowed to post there"
So this is the only place i can post...
any info is greatly appreciated.
i guess it's back to ICS then. bummer.
Since all the developers creating JB roms are working with a base rom that isn't from our phone, the video board and camera hardware are not an exact match. So on our phone no video.
Until samsung releases a JB rom for this model/hardware, there will be lingering issues.
Download ucam from play store records video fine on JB
sent from my lovely phone....hmmm wait its a tablet...waaa i dont really know.....im PARANOID NoW!
or a 4.1 camera apk
Thanks for the responses, have temporary fix that works.
Hi All,
Well after a ton of mucking around I've found a kludge.
Firstly the ucam is weird. i think it leads to what the actual problem is. in ucam you can only select either 176x144 or 1920x1080. That's it. It defaults to 176 because the note doesn't support 1920... this leads me to believe that the internal software/drivers are not recognizing the right 'pins' for the note i717 camera... interesting.
What worked for me was to go to 4.1 jellybean . I'm now using Gubment_Cheeze_v3.4.
After finally getting that setup, the included 4.1 camera works. Takes very nice video.
Note that I tried to use the 4.1 camera in 4.2 liquidsmooth, but it kept crashing, rebooting, etc.
I tried ucam as well but same behavior in 4.2.
Now, after installing Gubment I installed the camera 4.2 apk and it works too, but not for video.
but that's ok because i can do video with the 4.1 camera and cool picture stuff from the 4.2 camera.
good enough for now!
Good day guys,
I've been testing many ROMs these days and what pleased me most was the MROM ICS CM9.
3D acceleration works fine (tested Dead Trigger in full and Most Wanted too). The only problem is the camera. Quality is horrible, completely pixelated, is looking at the V3 camera. The video the same thing.
Has some way to fix this? Or just waiting the kernel out?
Sorry for bad english xD
Hi! I have a question for you.....
Xda made CM10. But Camera was not working.... So I don't know now(dmb,camera,bluetooth,etc...) Can you answering me?
So actually they made a CM10.1 for the player 5 and nearly everything works fine, except the rear camera...
I'm not sure about CM10 but I think CM10.1 is a better choice because they backported a lot while developing CM10 and there was something strange with the headphones...
Justearh the dvelopment forum for CM10 and CM10.1
In the player 4.0 ROM development threads it seems for CM10.1 they have almost fixed all the bugs from the camera. They currently have a few issues with the the front camera not taking pictures and the back camera only recording in 800x600 or something like that There has also been a few bugs with the speakers, apparently one is quieter than the other.... So that's whats happening with CM10.1 for the 4.0
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.
