Currently Running Jt's Awesome CM6.2 Beta, (Quick thanks to Everyone Involved in bringing this to Us)
I Have a Personal Issue and wondering if anyone feels the same or could lend me a Helping Hand in getting it fixed.
My Question, Relates to the Black and White Preview. I gotta say that as much as i tried to like it, Im just not a fan of the Black and White.
I cant seem to get good looking pictures specially in dark or low light areas. where I cant see what Im shooting.
I tried Looking at the Settings and those were only for flash/contrast/Gps/zoom.
Switching the Camera Apk from the one in EC01 Rom, as well as an ASOP one but that did not thing, well it actually just removed the camera link from the launcher and App drawer
Once again this is a Personal Preference Issue/Question, that I Figured I'd Bring up, just in case anyone felt the Same way...
Its Not meant to Bang On Anyone Related to this Awesome project
Thanks in Advance.
I'm right there with you, and with all the hope everyone has in JT, I'm sure he'll fix that as well as the camcorder issue. What I never understood (Unless I overlooked it completely), was the camera didn't have a 5MP camera option, correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, I hope Jt will get them fixed soon enough as well.
In regards to the 5MP you are correct, i didn't see an option either, which means its already set to 5, or its lower, which would explain why sometimes the pictures come out extra grainy.
Now that EDO1 came out, hopefully there some good stuff in there so that we finally see a Full CM7. But only time will tell
Hey everyone.
I've installed all the latest ROMs from Samsung, updated the camera firmware whenever a new version comes along but I can never get rid of the pink spot...
I've heard thatnsome people used to have it and don't any more thanks to a software update but regardless of what I do, I still have it.
So the question is: should I change it for a new unit or is there a way to fix it in software? Thanks...

which firmware are you using?
the OLD KE7 solved this problem for most users.
are you updating your firmware regularly?
I have tried several roms including stock,CM7 and MIUI but I am having pink spot with all of them
I think it's hardware fault, it will appear on close subjects or on white/beige background like walls, too bad for a so good 8mp camera.
The Arc one is still the best hands down
I bought the Evo 3D on launch day, but returned it shortly after because I needed some money due to a sudden emergency. I am now thinking about buying it again. One of the issues i had was the camera flash made little to no difference in low light pictures. I have read in a few threads that a recent update fixed an issue with shutter lag, but have found nothing in regards to the flash issue. I would just like to know if the pictures in low light situations have improved with recent OTA updates.
I know people will say "its just a cell phone, buy a camera." I understand that completely. Im just trying to weigh my options as to what my next phone will be.
The flash has always helped me, update or not. it lights up what you're taking a pic of. Its impossible for it NOT to help. So yes, the flash works. The only problem with the camera prior to update that bugged me was the green tint. That's been resolved now though. No issues with that.
There is a camera mod floating around if you root that turns off the picture compression and adds a few new features (panorama, scene modes and hdr - except I see no difference with the hdr). Pics look worlds better without the compression, mostly noticeable on a larger screen.
I just wondered, because with my EVO 4G, I never really had problems taking pictures. I had tons of problems taking pics in even moderately low light with the 3D. I changed every setting possible. I just have to check it out. Thanks for your input

This should be in the q&a section...
- Coz i just saw it in 3D with the Shooter -
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hello! This is a request to all the developers for Galaxy S II. You probably already know that some Galaxy S II suffer from the problem of low-fps (stuttering) with low-light conditions. That is resolved with the firmware of the camera of the Samsung I997 (Infuse 4G), but putting this firmware, the LED flash does not work anymore. You can change the firmware?
The firmware does help is the SIEG03. Camera firmwares topic here on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098834&page=110
Thank you in advance if can help.

It would be great if some of devs look at this fw and changes what is problem so flash stop working
Indeed, i would be great +1
I sent a private message to Chainfire and email to Supercurio. I hope they meet!
Great thread! SC cameras are the ones that have low light framerate issue. If someone resolves the flash issue it will be great.
Is this the same thing as the low-light autofocus laggy thing?
I made a video at my friends birthday in a nightclub and it's crap! Had to delete it! Blurring and lagging every few seconds!
I know potatoman might do something about it but he's busy at uni now, I'm kinda surprised nobody has jumped on this issue. One of the big reasons I got the S2 was the camera...turns out it's not that good
Yes. Its that problem. And is laggy beacuse of some galaxy s2 camera modules have some bad firmware. The SIEGO3 fix the suttering in video but remove the led flash of the videos and we cant use it like assisted lamp for autofocus. If someone implement in the firmware, our problem is solved.
+1
It would be great! Thanks
Maybe someone who knows cyanogen can tell him to tell samsung to fix it. I mean he does work for them now

Its that problem.
Chainfire didn't respond to private message. Even Supercurio. ...someone "knows" Cyanogen?...
We need forum member with "connections"
Set exposure to minimum level and frame drops is gone.

This is not a solution since makes videos dark as hell.

Maybe Samsung are aware of the framerate issue... they should be considering how many of us have this problem, but before they can release the firmware it proberly need to be tested ect so takes time.
Im using the infuse 4G firmware & more than happy to plod along with it, until a fix is released by either a Dev or Samsung.
I had a Galaxy S before i got the S2, so having no light in video isn't to much of a problem for me, the camera flash works which is more important, even without the pre focus light the camera still locks on 99% of the time in low light.
TBH that pre focus light of the orginal cam firmware was annoying as hell to some people, as it use to blind them before the flash kicked in lol.
Anyways im happy with having constant 30fps in either 720p or 1080p without any framerate problems.
The well-known dev's are unlikely to respond to PMs as they'd get hundreds\thousands a day, mostly from noobs, so unless they're from people they already know, I wouldn't expect a response. Plus a lot of them don't frequent XDA as it's turned into a noobfest where the "popular" devices are involved.
You could try posting over on the Cyanogen forums.
Steve (Cyanogen) is not likely to be in a position to "tell" Samsung to fix anything, and certainly not for a device that is as old as the SGS2 is now.
You could try logging a fault with Samsung themselves, they have been known to respond, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

Ok but when I paid the phone, my money worked very well and did not need to decrease the exposure!

The same for me! I don't feel a strong lack of flash, but can be useful with app. that use it like "Tiny Flashlight" etc.

In fact already figured that nobody would respond! shame! I just hope that they look, at least, the topic!
I guess that's that then. Nokia WP7 here I come. At least I know it will have a good camera.

Personally I'm happy with the GS2 camera! And in my opinion, is not this little difficulty make it worse!
PS: Maybe give us a hand!

Just a heads up that while I'd love to help with this, I don't experience the issue myself, so I wouldn't even be able to test if my fix would work or not. I'm also not comfortable with my code being flashed- my firmware modding capabilities are limited at best... and flashing a bad camera firmware can be irreversible.
Sorry guys, good luck finding someone else who can help though.
There are several threads on these forums about the video and picture quality viewing deep blacks with both the international and AT&T versions of the gnote. It's a widespread problem that affects almost every unit. And yet there are developers here that are working on ROMS, themes, radios and other custom tweaks as if these customizations could allow me to overlook this glaring problem.
So my question is are there any ROMs or other fixes that will correct the black crush problem? I have read that the gnote might need a forced 24 bit color fix. Or perhaps the Bravia engine might help.
Until the black crush issue is fixed, I don't plan on spending any time customizing this phone, and I probably won't keep it much longer if it looks like a permanent problem. With all of the advantages that the gnote provides, the display is the absolute worst thing for Samsung to screw up because it's the #1 reason why people buy this phone.
Both Roms have it.
Never thought of trying the bravia engine. I will try that

I'm sorry. Both ROMs have the black crushing issue, or both ROMs have a fix that works? And which two ROMs are you referring to? Thanks.
TPC and Saurom both have the issue, as well as the stock ROM.
