I know CM9 nightlies have started rolling out for the american GS3 but i wanted to know if features like smartstay and camera burst mode have remained. These 2 features i would give up even for CM. Also besides that, anything else has changed from lets say the CM9 i had on my skyrocket?

CM9 is mostly universal across all devices..it is pure, vanilla Android, how Google designed in. So no, it will not have any Samsung added on features, including smartstay or camera burst.
well then, no CM9 for me! Unless someone releases a CWm flashable zip to add those features
I don't think that's possible as those features require touchwiz to operate.

"Smart Stay" has already been replicated by a 3rd-party app call ISeeYou, which I'll probably install once I flash CM10, since it'll probably NEVER make it into CM proper.
And as far as burst mode goes, there's many other camera apps to choose from if you want that. Personally, I rarely ever find a use for burst (though, I admit i thought it was neat that it picked out the "best" pic from 8 burst pics i took of my kid throwing water up in the air)

i always use burst...only when i need flash i dont. I like th fact that i have 8 versions of the same pic and i can make sure nobody has they eyes closed or some kind of other that would ruin my picture.
I guess ill have to stick with stock this time, anyways, with a good launcher, its not like if its that bad. Just waiting for a one click root so i can freeze some apps

Just find a camera app in the play store that has burst, Camera Zoom FX has it.
Hi guys,
didn´t find another thread regarding CM9 focussing on the camera issue ... so ... I´ve installed CM9 07/16/2012 having still the camera issue after installing the files from 07/12/2012 (and setting the perms to the correct settings). Does anyone has the same problem and solved it? I´m using a AT&T SGH-I747. Help is appreciated.

Hi im so sorry for making yet another thread for the camera autofocus noise but it seems devs keep ignoring this.
the camera auto focus on different roms will be worse. sometimes doing it when you turn the phone on when you use flashlight and even sometimes when the card is being read. and im sick of hearing devs blame it on the camera model or that its always been there. my camera never made any noise till i installed miui and ever since it makes noise even when i revert to stock roms. the best its been is on villian rom.
this is obviously a problem with the firmware being used or something else that devs are doing or not doing. can someone please devote some time to get this fixed please. im not the only one who feels this way and i think its wrong for devs to lead us to believe its normal when its clearly not if it effects different on different roms and that obviously the noise wasnt there before. i think its a serious fix needed.
so please please please someone get to the bottom of this
PLEASE NO ONE POST INLESS YOUR HERE TO WORK TOWARDS A FIX

Ok, sorry for stating the obvious. Please find somebody with an OC camera that doesn't act like that, be it on stock or custom rom and then we can talk about fixing things. If that's default behavior for OC cameras and looks like it is, no dev can fix it. But i have a fix for you: replace your phone with another SII that doesn't have an OC camera. Easiest fix in the world and you can do it yourself.

i seen people who have had se firmwares and the update gave them oc and visa versa. so obviously the firmware code has no relavence to the camera. if what you say was right then the above wouldnt be possible. check out the camera firmware upgrade thread and see for yourself
I'm checking that thread often, cause i'm interested in a fix myself, but i still don't buy that firmware change, since no one else succeeded in changing an OC camera to a SC one. There's only 1 report of it. Can't really compare 1 report to all the owners with an OC camera that confirmed the clicking noises regardless of roms, firmware updates and everything else. I got no quarrel with you and i really wish you could find someone with an OC camera that doesn't behave like that. I couldn't find any and i investigated both on several forums and in real life with friends who own SII.
P.S. And i'm pretty sure if that guy uploads his apk your phone will say camera already has the latest update and can't install it.

the apk doesnt work. you cant do it like that i tried. u have to have a firmware upgrade apk or be compiled from scratch. just taking the apk out through root explorer wont make any difference.
Tested all the firmware update apks posted in that thread. None could be applied and my cam remained OC002, even though people reported that they had 002 and it turned to 009, which i highly doubt it can be done just by updating camera, cause 009 is an older version and camera wouldn't let you downgrade to a previous version. My phone has no root, so i don't have any other options than wait for another firmware update from Samsung.

been speaking to codework. would have to be pushed in through system/ect/firmware and it seems that the roms only come with oc type firmwares. so the roms have never been giving the phone the options for the se type firmwares. things are started to prove my point now. think codework is looking into it more now cause my theory is started to maybe be true
I have OCED11 ver of camera and today I heard that sound when entering camera, and when switching from photo to video mode. I don't remember hearing it before, but if others have it also, then it's nothing abnormal. I bought phone 1 month ago, and didn't install any custom apps and etc.
i saw a feature, on a blackberry 10 beta device that took multiple pics in one shot and let you choose the best face pose incase of blinking or whatnot,
now i also noticed that the note 2 has the same feature, but its called "best face"
i was curious if there was anyway to get this on our note i717's?
seeing as we already have 4.2 camera mods, and photosphere mods and such,
really looking forward to seeing this on the note 1

There is an app in the market called fast burst camera that takes multiple pictures one after the other. That might help if best face has not been ported.
Im specifically looking for the best face features, could care less about fast burst camera..
I know about fast burst apps, but i do thank you for your info and response
I thought Canadians were mild and polite.
I myself am very docile.. till you piss me off the wrong way.. then I will rip you a new one from inside out.. lol
So anyone have any idea how to get hands on the best face camera feature?
Who would risk giving you an answer. We come to assist, not get blasted.
Well reason I ask is like I stated in OP that we had already ported the 4.2 camera and various other apks from different devices.. and we managed to get touchwiz working on almost any device.. so I'm wondering if best face is an apk.. a lib file or what.. I'd gladly dissect a note 2 stock ROM file to find out if I could
Ok, the current state of affairs is someone pulled the S3 camera app and tried it, and the frame grab didn't work. The conclusion is library files are also needed but the correct files haven't been found yet. I'm sure when someone gets it done it will be at the top of the theme and app section. Stay tuned or take on the project. For now the Fast Burst camera is spectacular.
They advertise that Best Face on the Note 2 on TV
Isn't the only downfall of Fast Burst Camera that it only takes a max of 3MP?
I've taken a stock galaxy note 2 art ROM and I've dissected it a bit, found some lib files that pertain to the camera, also found the samsungcamera.apk that I believe is what I'm looking for, now.. I just need to figure out what to do with it from here...
Any ideas anyone?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonydna.framegrabber
This app will let you grab a frame from a hi-resolution video. It's worth the minute to view the video at the market.
Well so far. Taking the note 2 camera app, gallery, and best face/pose apps and lib files, putting them in the system/app directory has petty much failed... my phone sticks at the Samsung logo on boot even after full wipes and dalvik/cache wipes.. still won't boot.. need to do a full restore to get working again.... I don't know what I'm missing or not doing right.. any ideas anyone?? Can someone maybe pass this on to a dev for advice or more input.. I'd really love to see this working on i717

Yes, I know the problem.
You are attempting to mix different framework pieces together from two different architecture sets.
JB framework on the note2 is very different from anything we currently have for the note 1.
More too the point, the jellybean touchwiz side of the framework.
In addition, the CPU coding is vastly different.
Until we have source code, or a direct port from the note 2, we cannot get working JB note 2 features.
We have managed to pull boot anims, and wallpapers etc. But not much more without source code.
And it will be a great day when the kernel source drops.
Hopefully Samsung will release a JB upgrade for us soon, but I'm not holding my breath.....g
So i'm moving to the US soon and I always wanted a N4 cause of the Android Vanilla but couldn't get one from my current country.
Right now I have an S3 which is cool and everything but I just freakin hate touchwiz roms and CM roms are still not completely functional so..... I know that on hardware perspective the N4 doesn't compare to the S3 but would like to hear some feedback cause the N5 could be near.
would you guys trade an S3 for a N4 if you had the chance?
Honestly, if you want the hardware power, but the vanilla android. Try out a launcher...
Also, define CM roms aren't fully functional?
They lack radio and have minor bugs here and there, but it's still worth it. Instead of downgrading (hardware-wise) to an N4.
Also there are AOSP roms... Never tried one though .
But no, would never trade S3 for N4.
And would recommend nobody to ever do it xP

actually I have tried PARANOID, CM, PACMAN, OMEGA, SLIMICS, etc. You name the ROM and I tried it but since most of them are CM based they all share the common bugs, for instance we had a camera problem (not sure if it's fixed already), also wifi tethering didn't quite work and I use that feature a lot to share internet to my GF, some weird issues with sounds. Never used radio so I don't really miss that feature.
Right now my phone is heavily customized with an Omega ROM, Apex Launcher, Jkay Framework so it actually looks like Android Vanilla, BUT it doesn't feel like it.
guess ill just wait for the N5 and keep my brain shut for now.
thanks
Dude, wow...
Never ever come across any-issues except camera related issues...
Try out SlimBean and do not judge it based on the starting DPI (adjust in interface -> General etc) as is starts out in Tablet mode XD..
Anyways, I've yet to come across any bugs (and wifi tethering works fine, camera too) etc.
(Week later reply, but yeah )
So i took the APK from this thread and made it work for our device. this will only work on AOSP roms that have a CM10.1 base. If you would like to try it, go ahead and flash in recovery. Please have a nandroid just in case, each phone is different and although it works for some it might not work for all.
THIS WILL NOT FIX ANY EXISTING PROBLEMS THAT THE CAMERA HAS, ITS JUST THE NEW UI .
NEW GE 4.2.2 camera Flash in recovery.
OLD CM10.1 camera Flash in recovery.
I will try my best to help anyone out that needs it. feel free to comment here or PM me. :victory:

i think i can get photosphere working if you would like to try it. i did it for the rezound before. it requires a 3lib files to turn it on. ^_^
Edit:
going to be a little harder than i thought. i can get it to turn on. but when i move the phone around it FC. Going to have to do a log cat and figure what is what.

so what's the new ui look like - can some post / link a screen shot? is this it....

thanks for the work to to port this over for our use!!!

Is there a way I can get the stock Samsung jelly bean camera app on cyanogenmod? I find it better quality than the focal camera.
Also, no matter what cyanogenmod based ROM I use, it crashes when I try to use the camera through third party camera apps like snapchat. Sometimes it will crash and when reboots, the battery ends up at around 10%
Bump. Does anyone know if this can be done?
The stock Samsung camera app won't work on AOSP-based roms, so there's answer #1.
Regarding your other problem, I've never heard of any trouble with 3rd party camera apps, 4.2.2 and lower. If you're running 4.3 roms, then it's likely the software - although I've still not read of any problems from other users.
Personally I've stayed on 4.2.2 and use the FastBurst camera app and it works perfectly.

As far as I know, yes. You'd have to modify the framework in order for the Sammy camera to work on AOSP, but I haven't come across any guide on how to do so, or seen a mod. There was a 9100 rom back in the old days that was a hybrid (Chameleon), but it never quite ported properly, if I remember correctly.

The only one I use is Fast Burst. The tradeoff is occasionally the picture quality isn't exactly perfect, but I've taken some really great looking pictures with it and the burst feature is the best I've seen on any camera app.
I would love to see someone be able to port the Samsung camera to CM11. It's a hundred times better than that lame photosphere camera. I'm honestly contimplating switching back to Bonsai to get my sammy apps back. S-Pen included

Holly cow this thing is fast! THX for the tip.
The only beef I have with it, is that I couldn't get it to save my pics to the SD card.
I guess because the internal memory is faster. The stock Samsung camera does the same with burst shots.
Although if someone would have a workaround to get the pics on the SD card, that would be appreciated
