I'm not used to getting blocked out of the camera app at low battery levels, since I used CM9 almost exclusively on my S II. Is there any sort of workaround to this? Thanks in advance.
It really depends on how the block is working, if its just the camera app doesn't work, then try another camera app see if it still causes problems, if the problem is the phone will not start the camera, you will need to wait for a mod, or use a custom rom.

Thanks for the input, I did consider using a different camera app in cases of urgent need, but I'll have to test that another day since my battery has enough juice for the stock app now. In the likely event that Samsung takes forever to update TouchWiz to Jelly Bean, I'll probably end up switching to CM10, which I expect will be out much, much sooner.

Custom Rom: TripnMIUI 1.0 Final
Independent control of flash function not working on device. Attempted to install a third party camera app "camera 360". App notifies "sorry your cell phone has no flashing" when flash option is selected.
Utilizing MIUI camera to configure flash provides two options. Auto and On. Yet neither work.
Does anyone have any information or a possible solution?
Thanks for reading.

try vignette for flash.
vignette isn't working. with the MIUI camera the dev's instructions are to switch off full screen due to some glitch that causes no picture. when i load this camera application i receive the same glitch, can not see picture what so ever.
i explored the settings in the app and there is no appropriate selection to be able to switch as i would with the MIUI camera. it seems this app isn't compatible with the rom.
I use the LED light app and just leave the light on while I take a pic >.>...
LED app like Torch? to activate the camera flash like an independent flash light?
Tried Torch, the app crashed. So I uninstalled it. Currently searching the market to see if anything is going to be compatible here. There must be some sort of fix as this flash problem wasnt listed in the dev's build release notes.
I use this https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.picolyl.led_light
even has a widget I put on my desktop... walk around my house at night like this...
i was hoping that would work
but it didn't
app installs. app loads. when i turn on the flash, nothing happens
leads me to assume there has to be a patch, because again, it must be rom related
Vignette seems to work for me. I have it set to auto flash and it comes on when I touch the screen.
Or is the point that you would rather use the miui camera?
Sorry if I misunderstood
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
when i start up Vignette i have absolutely no picture. just distorted colored stripes across the screen.
the miui camera was indicated as being faulty in full screen mode. within the release notes there were instructions to open the settings within MIUI camera and change off of full screen to resolve the picture issue.
as per developers ROM documentation:
Known bugs:
- Phone reboots when you press exit in Root Explorer (not included)
- MIUI camera has messed up screen (fix this by going into miui cam settings and turn off "Full screen"
that issue is the exact same thing that I am experiencing in Vignette. with MIUI camera i was able to make the appropriate change and restore full picture.
with Vignette no option presents itself to enable me to do this. i dont necessarily care which app i use to take pictures as long as i am able to operate the flash and sustain full camera functionality.
both miui camera the stock camera are not functioning with flash for me. i have set to automatic within miui camera and even still the flash fails to initiate.
even if i switch to "ON" within MIUI camera that doesn't work either. the stock camera app has no flash control option in its settings. and so far the third party apps i've tried such as "camera 360" resulted in a message saying my phone doesn't have flash. and Vignette was not resolving picture. i was unable to locate a respective setting similar to that of MIUI camera to initiate a functional view. therefore was forced to uninstall
Attached a temporary solution
Slightly improved brightness over my original: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996973
I'm working on flashlight fix to work with vignette. Hopefully Trip will fix it too in next release
nice thanks. would this apk just manually be pushed through ADB to sytem/apps? or do i have the option to install straight from SD?
im going to go ahead and try this out. thanks again.
side note: is it correct to assume a pending update for this build considering it was released as a "final version" it would be nice to see some fixes implemented to further stability and full functionality.
another issue ive experienced over the past couple days back and forth between this rom is particularly when files are in midst of being transferred to sd card. but not limited to. the phone seems to force reboot. and this does not cease. case in point. i initiated sd mounting and upon hitting confirm, phone went into power cycle.
update: *Torch works perfect. I hit thanks

I have bought the depreciated version and even though it works great on latest MIUI, flash still doesn't work.
so .... like you said .... depreciated?
turns out it doesn't work after all. wonderful
i can understand the picture part working, unlike the demo. but if flash doesn't work. it doesn't turn out to be an all in one solution. flash is the issue here. i can utilize either miui or even stock camera for the pictures. its the flash that is giving complications.

Use the torch app with it
i guess the torch app will suffice. its going to have to because every app ive tried doesn't recognize the flash function. its a smart work around.
i noticed an update pack released for the rom hopefully flash will be noted for a fix sometime in the future. thanks everyone

I don't think it worked with any roms did it? I don't even think it worked with stock
your right. it never worked. with anything.
although i must say i never tested it on 6.1.3 rom release. but with stock it was working for me. at least it would turn on
Hi,
Just got a S3 the other day, so now I've rooted it and flashed Omega v26 custom ROM.
Everything works fine, but one thing has been bugging me; the dialer, contact app and message app doesnt stay in memory. When they're not in memory they take like 0,5-1,5 seconds to load, which is unacceptable to me! :crying:
Is there a way to make them stay in memory, regardless..?
Thanks in advance!
I believe it's the jb leaks that have thus problem? So nothing to do really.

So this is not an issue in ICS?
Yes, it IS an issue with ICS. A lot of people might not notice it, because, obviously, if you've just recently used the dialer or contacts app, they are still in memory and load quickly, but even in ICS, it's an issue I'd sacrifice a bit of memory if there was a way to keep them active. There's got to be a way to do it.
I have CM10 on my wife's SII and the dialer loads much faster by comparison, and there's still a lot of work to make JB fully ready for the SII, since kernel sources have not been released yet for it.
It's a shame that such a device is plagued in such an obvious way. It's the Achilles Heel of the SIII, IMO.
It's a PHONE and the dialer and contacts should be something that every user will be reaching for constantly in normal use. Can't see the reason why this cannot be solved.

A friend of mine thought of a way to work around this. I havent tried it, but in theory it sounds doable.
If you disable the built-in app killer and install another which has capability to ignore certain apps in a list when freeing up memory.
How about that? Is that worth trying? If so, whats the best app killer out there?
I have the same issue ... but with normal apps such as a twitter app or mini-games (not 3D dynamic games). I keep reloading them if I don't use them by leaving them inactive in background for more than 3 minutes give or take.
Where is multitasking for Gode's sake ?
I think its more an issue with the touchwiz contacts and dialer being very bloated. The cm10 contacts and dialer isn't always in memory, but it loads up so fast that it doesn't HAVE to be in memory. Last I checked, the touchwiz contacts can take up to 80-90mb of ram (I only have 130 contacts) which is way too much to be honest, and phone doesn't have much user free ram as it is. The only alternative is to use EX Dialer, it always stays in ram and is very fast, if you get a missed calls though they won't be cleared until you use the stock dialer, very annoying

Well, that sounds like a lot.
But my friend who has a Galaxy S2 doesnt have this problem (he's running 2.3) and the dialer, contacts and message app is not that different on the S3 so it should not take up much more RAM, right?

That's what you'd think, but it does. Even on the S2 though the contacts and dialer were slow to load, don't know what tests Samsung are doing when they optimize the software on their phones but I think the Contacts/Dialer/Messaging should always be in ram as default. 1-2 seconds might not seem like a lot to people, but when phones with inferior hardware are opening the same thing in under a second I can imagine someone pulling this face in astonishment
Edit: Just checked how much ram messaging and contacts uses in CM10. 30mb together lol, compared to the average 50mb I had with Stock TW Contacts

So there's a 20mb difference between stock TW dialer/sms/contact and CM10? If it's not more then that I don't see what the problem is. Would gladly sacrifice a few megabytes more RAM to get rid of that annoying lag..
Do you think this issue will be corrected in future releases?
I honestly do not think it will be corrected ever. Since that problem was present in galaxy s also...
One can certainly hope.

Hello,
Due to the fact that I had the same problem with dialer/sms/contact on my i9300 (4.1.1) I decided to write my solution of this.
So, I did as follows:
1. root
2. edit /system/build.prop and add lines:
ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1
sys.keep_app_1=com.android.contacts
sys.keep_app_2=com.android.mms
3. reboot
Now, these applications works perfect!

Well, it should be... but unfortunately sys.keep_app doesn't work in JB as it turned out later so I'm looking for another solution to keep dialer, contacts and sms in memory permanently.
However the ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 line improves performance of my i9300 and now is much better.
When dialer/contacts/sms are in buffer memory then there is no lag and phone works amazing!
any news ???
First off by posting this i mean no disrespect towards the developers of CM9.
Ok heres my problem im running a ics rom it is treating me very nicely about as expected but it is starting to be a nusiance for my everyday use. As you all know the ics doesnt just yet have a camera and CM10 does. It would be very nice to have a camera but i can get by without. another option i have is to flash back to a stock rom but since Gingerbread does not apply proxy setting to apps it would definatly be a problem but it does work nice without a problem.
The newest release of CM10 looks nice should i flash it?
Should i stick in their with my ICS CM9 and cope with its problems (no disrepect inteaded toward the developers)?
Are the stock roms that are on XDA modified to apply proxy setting to apps?
I forgot to mention the issues iv been haveing with my rom so here:
Any time i try to look at the capacity of my device in the setting as soon as it is finished calculated it restarts.
When i try to download apps i get a 923 error (insufficient storage space) even tough that isnt the problem.
After apps have been install (only games apps) after the first 2 weeks of using it starts to freeze at start up and after 2 months of freezing at start up it works fine again.
There are a few really small ones that are not worth mentioning.

Unless you REALLY need Bluetooth and the earpiece speaker, I'd definitely recommend upgrading to CM10. It works a lot better for me than CM9 did.
When do I really use the ear price speaker because I have never noticed it being used

In my opinion, sounds like you should stick to stock. There are problems with custom kernels, and custom roms which nothing fully works one hundred percent. Honestly, if it annoys you, switch back.
Yeah but with the stock rom the proxy setting don't apply to apps and since my main network that I connect to is tru a proxy server any app that needs wireless connection will not work I'd rather put up with what annoys me then not being able to connect even to the play store

So just use a rom
I have noticed that my phone reboots when I use the flash on my camera with a low battery. If the battery is full it works fine but reboots when it gets below 50%. Any ideas?
Any ideas guys?
Seriously? There has to be a fix for this.
Is everyone just not using there camera?
You didn't provide very much information. What rom are you on? How long has this been happening? is this just with the camera app or with other apps that d.use the camera?
Well I see the title of the original post was cm10.1. Are you on nightly or stable?
Its been happening for a while. Right now I am running stable 10.1.2. However, the nightlies do it to. I'm using the stock camera app for CM 10.1. No other camera app works. The video locks up in all other camera apps. That's been going on for a while to.
The flashlight and strobe doesn't reboot the phone. The only workaround I have found is to disable the flash and take pictures with the flashlight on. That works but is hard to take pictures of people.
It happens more with the battery below 70%. It gets worse the lower the battery gets. I have tried 4 different batteries with the same results. It doesn't happen with older nightlies from around April. I'm sure its a bug in the rom. I wish I could just switch to a different camera app but like I said all other camera apps freeze the video.

They're not stable yet. ie. you can expect random reboots for no apparent reason at all. On the other hand I can confirm that almost everything is working on all roms. I am on CM12 and am loving its neat UI.
Yup just as jnx_r said expect random stuff to occur because the roms aren't quite there yet. At least 95% functionality with a side of randomness. The UI is something to behold and is really fluid. While I ran it, I had little lag and no random reboots, except when I forgot to charge the phone and let the battery almost die; that sent the phone into a crazy bootloop. But, don't be afraid to try it out on your own, just make sure you read and understand before flashing. And ALWAYS make a nandroid. You should always have an escape plan to fall back on in case crap hits the fan.
What about stuff like camera, Facebook video upload and Snapchat video recording? I've been on Cm11 for many months and always have issues with the camera, facebook video uploads hanging and snapchat video recording not working.

Cant answer about facebook upload or snapchat because i dont use them sorry, but as for the camera, on archi's cm12 rom the stock one doesnt work without a fix so its recommended to use google camera but even then when i used it after 2 days that stopped working for me.
