Um, is it natural for the FFC that I installed into my phone to reverse things from their place? (I am sure this is not natural.) Like for example, if something is on the left side of the screen, when the picture is taken and I took a look at it using gallery, it ends up on the right side. Any fixes to this?

FFC Issues...
Normal? lol lets just say its a Vibrant...then moan and say its a Samsung...
Sounds like you have the same camera I installed... sold as a rev2...
Couple things to help you..
1] Pictures taken with the FFC ... when your in gallery hit the menu button and "rotate left" will fix and save the picture in the proper direction wanted.
2] Grab Mirror app from the market it has in the options the ability to rotate image properly and stay that way....usefull to show off your new FFC
Im using the Slim ICS v3.6 rom right now.. it comes with FFC built in..[no it wont rotate image at this time...]
Hope that helps!
Hit the button
p.s. look for my cwm flash file to add FFC to other ICS/cm9 roms [use search]
Good Luck!
Resurrecting the question
Alright, I flashed my phone to Slim ICS 3.6, but it still does the same thing. Like if my face is on the right side of the screen, when I take the picture and go to Gallery, my face is magically on the left side. When I try to use rotate left, it still ends up the same thing. Is it only happening to me or does anyone else experience this? And is there a fix to this?

Ive been searching for this for a while, i would like to be able to use the volume up button for my shutter in the default camera app. I saw some threads about this but either it wasnt compatible with my phone or it didn't work. Does anyone know of a mod that will do this for the AT&T S2? Thanks
To my knowledge they are working on it for our phone; however, this is a question and should be placed in the Q&A section in the future.

It's easy, but I'm not sure if I like it. I like using the volume buttons to zoom in and out. I was able to make long pressing the power button take pictures, but it also pops up the extended power menu lol. Hopefully I can figure out how to get a short power button press to take pictures instead of turning off the screen. It's a lot trickier on this phone than it was on the original galaxy s and infuse.

Looking forward to you getting the power button mod to work. That's definitely a feature I've been waiting for.

I've been using the volume up mod that I found from the i9100 forums for about a week. Used it quite a bit on my visit to Alcatraz over the weekend. It has tap to take direct picture or hold to focus and release to take a picture.The digital zoom is useless to me as all it does is just blow up a cropped imaged anyways. I'll attach it in case anyone wants to try (and as always, back up the old Camera.apk). Just push/copy to system/app

Yeah, was more worried about zooming with the volume buttons while recording 720p video. It would be a pain to record everything in 1080 and then run it through video editing software to do the zooming.
Guess I could do the volume button hack for photos only and leave it as zoom control for video recording.

I didn't think about the video recording part. BUT! I just gave it whirl and surprisingly enough, the volume keys don't start the recording and still function as zoom buttons. So it looks like the video recording part is untouched.

Awesome mod. I've been missing a physical camera button for awhile now! Pretty awesome thus far, however, I always get a force close on the camera app after I restart my phone. Anyone else encounter this and or find a solution other than reinstalling the app to make it work?
Thanks!

Same thing was happening to me but I fixed it! In root explorer go to system/app/camera.odex and rename the camera.odex to camera.odex.Bak
then reboot and it should be GTG!!!
Forgot: May have to reinstall the modded camera.apk after too as well.

I've got the zip file downloaded but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. Stock is running real well for me and really haven't seen a feature that is a must have in a custom rom yet. Shoot, with Entropy's DD and stock rom, my phone is still blazing. Just to test things out, I've gotten a 5034 on quadrant so things are working awesome.
If this were my X10, I would be a flash whore because that thing needs optimization just like a crack head needs his next hit.

Loving my EVO LTE so far. Quick question on the camera button. I need to press my button very hard to get it to snap a picture. Is anyone else having this issue? Just wondering if it is a defect or if they are all like this. Thanks.
its a 2-button button. a 'soft press' (to the first resistance point) triggers focus, a 'hard press' (all the way down, past the first resistance point) takes the pic. its by design.
a 'long press' (holding down the camera button for 3 sec) will bring up the camera app if you are doing anything else, and a 'long press' while in the camera app will rapid-fire capture pics as long as you are holding it down.
Does everyone's camera make noise when snapping photos? I have no noise, and I have trouble knowing if my camera is rapid-firing or not.

Yours may be like mine, in that it seems like the button is not installed correctly. Mine has a distinguishable first stage, but I sort of need to mash it in to get to the second stage. I thought it was odd, but I knew it wasn't right when I tried out my wife's EVO LTE and hers has 2 clear, distinct stages, with no mashing in needed.
Mine is having rebooting issues anyway, so I'm hoping that my next EVO has the correct camera button press too.

I always have things on vibrate, but that's not considered silent mode I wouldn't think. Where can I change a setting that would make the camera make noise while my ring is set to vibrate?
nope. probably hidden. htc seems to have forgotten why Android better than iPhone and trying to dumb ics down to ios levels. options, apps,a ton of stuff is hidden or removed from this phone. try minimalistic text and look for camera settings or basic interface. I'll check around when home later
Isn't Minimalistic Text a clock widget app? I don't understand how this relates to the camera setting. What am I missing?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
no, it lets you make shortcuts and icons and widgets for anything possible on your phone. can see if it has any hidden camera settings menu built in anywhere
sorry, no camera settings. I did find a mirror app hidden though. I'll start a new thread about it

Its far, far from just a clock widget app. Its in my top 5 must download after flashing a new rom app.
I agree. I'd never heard of it til someone pointed me towards it to unhide polaris,(which you can do with es file explorer, another in my top 5) and I must say, its in my top 5 now too. so much you can do with this.
in fact, how do you use it for a clock widget?

Thanks. Based on everyone's input I am going to ask for a replacement phone. I really have to mash down the button to get a picture.
I'm using Go SMS in place of the stock messages app to get away from the slideshow issue, but when I send a picture that was taken in portrait mode, it rotates it to landscape automatically. Within Go SMS, you can rotate before sending, but is there a way to force it to respect the original orientation the photo was taken in?

I have the same issue with Go SMS. Like u said, u can rotate it before, but idk why it changes to landscape automatically.
Look in the picture threads half the images in there are rotated 90° its odd for sure.

Thanks for the responses, guys. It's nice to know I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. Hopefully, a dev will eventually bake a fix into one of their roms.

Tell Go SMS. It's app related, not ROM related. Unless you're also coming across the same issue in the Stock messaging app...

It is rom related, some pictures I take show up sideways and then a lot of the pics added to the picture thread in the stickies in general a bunch are rotated in there as well.

I hate the mms on this phone. Why did it go backwards. You cant zoom it and it plays like a movie. Sucks big time. Im wondeing if I can roll back to another version of android to correct this?
Or is there any roms that have this corrected?
I don't know if any of this will help but here are my attached logcats of the Pac man rom's 4.3.1 10/21/2013 nightly
some things of note:
rear camera pic freezes and screen flashes as if pic was taken but flash never happens and app just freezes.
FFC pic takes but there Is no shutter sound that goes along with it
FFC record just fine and makes shutter(startup?) sound when it turns on and off as well as creating a small thumbnail in upper right corner of window.
I cant post this in the dev. section and I didn't know where else to post this so I thought I'd put it here

Hi luraziel,
The bottom of the build log from 10/21/2013 indicates that it failed so that means the zip file is incomplete, I believe the last one that passed is from the 20th so you might want to revert back to that version.
Does anyone else have this issue?
I know you can select the Flash as Auto / ON / or OFF... when I select Flash ON and tap the screen to focus on an area, I would normally suspect to flash to light up so I can focus on an area. However it does not come on at all. But will come on to take the picture, but the picture will be blurry because it cannot focus on the spot I want.
Love the phone overall, bought it through Samsung. Just waiting for a good root to come along the way.

I noticed the same but if I are the picture, the flash turns on and the autofocus is working and after the folks is right the photo is taken.
But as you said no flash when using tap to focus. That was there on the S8.
Could this be a bug in the OS? Haven't tried contacting Samsung yet to report this, but wanted to make sure if others are having the same issue too.

Yes it should be. Or Samsung made this.
Please report it to them.
Same here. Flash does not come on when you tap the screen on auto flash.
Spoke with a customer expert and even tried the phone in safe mode as he suggested. He stated that if it existed in safe mode, it is a software issue. And yes the issue stays within safe mode, his only suggestion was to take it to a Samsung Repair center. In my case, I will just wait for a hotfix or patch. Unless xda beats samsung to it first haha.
Got a reply again from Samsung care page, apparently the features were removed on the s9. I guess they are now wanting to reimplement it since most are complaining on it.
Found out if you want the flash to come on before taking a picture, just tap the shutter button for 1 second and then slide your finger off it and the flash will go off without taking a picture.

But that activates burst shot. And if sliding it, it would create a floating button. Unless I'm missing the ''shutter'' button you are talking about.
