Hi,
Recently rooted and flashed KaosFroyo v38. Originally had the same camera FC issues that others have had, but was able to fix. Since being able to use the camera, I've noticed that I'm not able to use the trackball as the camera button (shutter button). Looked at a couple button remapping apps, but the trackball isn't listed (trackball does work though). Is there a way to restore this function?
Thanks!
Hey I recently flashed the same rom. How ever, my camera doesn't cc it just doesn't work. Other camera apps work but not well. When you say fixed do you meen as in using the default app or just some other app. Im very curious as to if I can get it to work.

kf has some known camera and gallery issues. kaos has been trying to fix it. the button on the screen works as a shutter button. if the camera is freezing, try taking off autofocus. third party cameras seem to work. i was on kf a few versions back, so some issues may be fixed (people still on it correct me if i'm wrong). try v39 with the gps fix and see what happens.
Hey everyone
I was wondering if anyone could help me, every time I open the resident in camera app it crashes and if on the rare occasions it does work it is very unresponsive
Thank you
Mark
Use 'Camera ICS' from the market. Much better UI and it doesnt crash.
If i helped you, click the thanks button!
i am already running ICS

He means install the Camera ICS application.
cheers guys that app works awesomely but i have another problem now, the front facing camera is really really dark
thanks
Ah well, i noticed that problem while using skype. But, so far as i know, no solution. I have to sit infront of a very bright light, like a high power table lamp for it to work.
Hi,
I just realize that in mode "portrait", the video stands in the top of the screen. Not on the centre !
I also tried in MXVideo but it's the same.
No problem when rotate in landscape !
any idea ?
PS : I tried to make a screenshot but when sliding my hand on screen, the video comes back in center !!!
same problem here !
I Just realized that I have also the same problem in YouTube..
Anyone have an idea?

anyone ?
it happens sometimes not always
its most likely a software problem that samsung will fix with the next update
Also experiencing this. It is really frustrating. Went from stock unrooted to rooted CM 9.1 when this started to appear. Any ideas on what specifically is causing this and what are the options for a fix?
In YouTube, it's like that. Fullscreen for landscape and video at top and description, related and comments in the bottom for portrait.

I didnt find anything about this on the forum.....
Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right forum, this is my first thread
I am having a problem with ANY AOSP rom I ve installed, no matter wich kernel I try with the rom. When taking a picture with flash in auto mode or ON mode, the phone shuts off and I ve to pull out my battery to reboot. It happens 8/10 times. With flash OFF it works OK
I ve reading lots of threads of people with similar problem even in different devices (nexus, etc). The weird thing is that in tw rom (wanamlite) or any stock sammy rom, the camera and flash works flawless.
I ve tried almost everything. I really want to switch to CM or PA with Halo and this is backing me down.
I ve read in other threads that sometimes is has something to be with the battery but I ve tried 3 different batteries, 2 original and a chinese one, tried taking pictures with battery full, battery low.. and still shutting off on AOSP and flawless on touchwiz.
I ve tried every single camera app in the store. All shutting off my phone in AOSP and working in touchwiz.
however I discovered that with the flash in TORCH MODE (allways on) I can take pictures without any problem. Tasker has an option to take pictures and set the flash to torch and this is what I am using. However, its anoying to use this workaround because with tasker I cannot see what I am taking photo at. And with a camera app that supports torch mode, the flash is allways on, not only when press the take photo button.
I am trying to make tasker turn flash on, press take picture button, and turn flash off, so I can create a scene over the camera app button to make tasker run this task (or use overlays to make a floating widget)
I managed to find the tasker way to press the take photo buton (input keyeven 27), and I tried to use tasker and TESLAflashlight to turn on and off the flash before an after the picture, but teslaled doesnt work while the camera is in use by the camera app.
However, if I use the system widget to toogle flashlight or the flashlight app that comes with CM, the flash on and off switch works while the camera is open!
The problem is that I cannot make tasker interact with the flashlight widget (it is not a shorcut so i cannot use autoshortcut)
Is there a shell command to run in terminal emulator that can turn on/off the flashlight while the camera app is in use? That would solve everything for me..
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, wonderfull comunity, and sorry for my bad english..

All those camera's that you also tried, just use the existing software and libraries so if your main cam was not working, they definitely wouldn't either.
The TW port isn't fully functional. You'd need to stay with AOSP cameras.
When you say every AOSP ROM you tried, could you name some? It might be a camera firmware issue. There is a thread about camera firmware somewhere.

I ve tried paranoid android 3.97, cyanogenmod 10.1 , temasek 4.2.2 and temasek 4.3, cdroid, and in each test I tried siyah kernel, googy max, and of course the kernels that comes with that roms by default..
I ve also tried the huawei camera..
I ve updated the camera firmware in the way this threads mentions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113526)
NOW MY FIRMWARE IS LIKE THIS
Phone/CAM FW Ver Check:
REAR CAMERA:
Cam FW VER: ZDFF03 / (I used to have ZDFE02)
Phone FW Ver: ZDFI02
FRONT CAMERA
CAM&PHONE: S5K6A3
The same problem of phone shutting off used to happened before I updated the firmware..
Really driving me nuts
EDIT:
Now I ve updated the firmware once again and now It is like this
Cam FW VER: ZDFI02
Phone FW Ver: ZDFI02
booted into temasek and the problem persist
:/

Nevermind bro, thank you for your kindness..
UPDATE:
I ve realized that the problem has place only when my battery is below 60%. I am thinking thas the problem has to be with battery/voltage/etc..
The weird thing is that I ve got 3 batteries and in all 3 of them happens the same. And stranger than that, is the fact that on touchwiz I can take pictures with flash even when 5% battery.(so its not a hardware problem)
Maybe AOSP roms have a different way of managing voltages. I ve tried to use steaks and reduce cpu/gpu voltages a little but it didnt help.
I will buy a new battery different to the original ones that i have and try again.
If someone is interested I share my workaround.
I use tasker and use "take picture" using torch mode (I made an scene over the shutter button of the aosp camera app so when I click on it tasker takes the picture). The problem here is that the pictures are stored in tasker folder, so sometimes it takes a while to appear in the gallery.
Or the other method I am using is the following. I used overlays to put a invisible widget toggle of the system flashlight on top left corner of aosp camera, and another invisible widget over the shutter button to trigger a tasker task. The tasker task consist of a couple of console lines that simulates myself touching the screen, so it simulates a touch that toggles de flashlight, then simulates a camera button press and then again simulates a click over the flashlight widget to turn it off.
I know this sucks, but is the only way so far
I ve managed to find a workaround with tasker only
su -c "echo 1 > /sys/class/camera/rear/rear_flash" (turn flash on)
input keyevent 27 (take photo)
su -c "echo 0 > /sys/class/camera/rear/rear_flash" (turn flash off)
The result is pretty the same that the camera flash on.. no blurry pictures, torch duration the same, etc.. so thats it for me..
I hope this can be usefull for people having the same problem.
I tried taking a picture at 30% with "A better camera" with flash and it worked on CM, but with the default camera app the phone goes black
This has been pestering me for quite a while now, at first it started below 20% battery, then 30% and now 50% ... I've ordered a new battery yesterday and I have it charging now, will know when its below 50% when it's any better.
Maybe it has to do with the camera firmware, but I doubt it.
Solved. Was the battery in my case. The 3 batterys. I think that messing around with charging voltaje in stweaks made my batterys gone bad. I ve ordered 3 chinese new batterys and now never shutsoff

Same here, bought a new battery and the problem is solved. Can snap a photo with flash at 2-3% battery left now.
