Is there a flashlight app that I can run in the background and use the video camera at the same time? I want to record videos at night and can't find a torch that does this
i dont have an answer for your question, but i can tell you that creating so many threads is only going to annoy people.
Best of luck searching for your app
Regards
Jack
"Tiny flashlight + LED" did do this when I had my Dell streak and recorded a few videos with not much light. I've not tested it on the S3 and I have a low battery so can't now. Just turn it on and press your home button to leave it lit up and then try the camcorder.

It just says "Camera Failed" when I try open the camera up, is there a way around this?
Stock widget "Assistive Light" works perfectly with stock camera/video app. Tested now with leaked DLI5 version.

Just use the stock camera app, set it to video and then set flash to on. When you press record, the flash comes on and stays on until you press stop. Same feature was on the SGS2 and gingerbread.

Does anyone know of an app that will Use the HD2 camera, and possibly the led flash, to display a live magnified image on screen? Essentially turning the HD2 into a magnifying glass (possibly with light)?
Ive got a friend who is partially sighted and often uses a magnifying glass with a built in 'torch' light, to read print/text while out and about.... having an app that would do the same thing could prove very handy at times.
Anyone know of such a thing? Everytime I try searching I just get apps that magnify whatever is on the screen and cant magnify a live image from the camera.
Thanks in advance.
iam sorry for asking, but could using the zoom feature of camera with flash on...doesnot serve the purpose ?
Thanks for the suggestion... However I had already thought of this... The main problem being that my flash will not light until I take a picture.
Previously my flash would stay lit during preview if the flash ON option was selected.... but this is no longer the case (possibly since flashing to EnergyRom).
Plus having a dedicated app would be more convenient.
Cheers for the suggestion though :thumbup:

Put it in video mode and you can force the flash on or use torch button and leave it running when you start the camera up.
yes, you can use the torch application and keep it on while you use your camera
The LED turns off if the Torch app (Flashlight) is not the active application.
You can do what optiknervz suggested which is use the Video mode and then turn on the flash, unless of course you want a still photograph of whatever it is that you are trying to zoom into.

yea cos flashlight is no match for torch button.
yes ..use the torch button, not the flashlight app..........i can use my torch even by clicking my quicklink and it stays on even while i use any other app and only gets switched off once i disable it by pressing the quicklink again.
My x10 Xperia phone's camera does not work for whatever reasons. It worked before, as for now, I had to use the app from the market to take picture (but without zoom feature).
Sorry if this thread topic had been asked.
have you tried by clickin on the camera icon instead of the button?
if is not working i might say that the app is screwed so a fw reinstall, update or if anyone sends the app to you will work

I downloaded the app called: CamerFun Free (or something like that but no zoom in feature though)
I got the camera to work but only with Touch Capture mode.

yes what is up with my new phone ???
What the piehole??!!!!!... the same crap has happened to my camera about 2 weeks ago... and I have never flashed the phone ever.... i thought it was a drop that somehow rattled the phone....
1. I open the camera apk and when i click on the camera button the entire application turns off.... if i attempt to zoom in....nothing!!!....
2. I was forced to downloaded camera 360 pro (free of course) .. installed it just to get to take a pic...this app allows me to use the screen as a camera button.... even with this apk....camera 360 says "your camera does not support focus adjusting"....wtf!!!!
3. Does the camera.apk have a time out limit....? Where can we get the default apk back
camera fix
okay i uninstalled both camera 360 and camera 360 pro
then go to... settings ... applications ... camera and then "Clear data"
change ...capture mode ...to "touch capture" [ bypasses "faulty" camera button]
everything seems to work .... with zoom now...

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.

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.

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.

======================================
MiuiFix.zip is mixed from MIUI 2.2.17 & 2.3.2
it can fix Headset(MIUI 2.3.2) or Auto Brightness(MIUI 2.2.17)
MIUI232FIXen.zip does more things:
Fix MiuiSettings
Fix Flashlight (Torch)
Fix Headset
Add 2.3.7 Camera (it can focus)
Add ROOT
Fix wifi (It effects in my phone and I forgot to proint it out yesterday)
If you are using miui 2.2.17
MiuiFix.zip is enough
I believe button leds have a different way of working in miui (working with Auto Brightness)
but if you want the leds work like before (miui 2.2.17、2.3.3 or ealier，just except miui 2.3.2)
you can flash MiuiFix.zip and go into the "use custom" settings once
then flash 2217_signed.zip
you can find 2217_signed.zip in #5
======================================
Timeout.zip adds “Screen Timeout” choices （the red two）
30s 1m 2m 5m 10m 30m Off
but it will lose Korean Language （I hope hpa won't be angry）
I made it from miui 2217
but I believe it can be used in miui 232
for they are nearly the same
======================================
Auto Brightness(MIUI 2.2.17) fixes the crash of the whole phone in custom setting ?
Need to ask...
Can you fix the other issues specifically wifi not working 2.3.2?
• Torch is force closing, but on camera flash is working.
• vibrate doesnt work on messages and pressing home, back, select buttons on phone.
• Also the LED stay on even when the screen is dark.

1. Torch in miui 2.2.17 works well in miui 2.3.2
2. In miui 2217 english version (120314)
it works well
3. "settings-display-automatic brightness"
"advanced mode-use custom"
"edit other levels-buttons-0"
or if you want the leds work like before (miui 2.2.17、2.3.3 or ealier，just except miui 2.3.2)

As for LEDs working, which MIUI version are you using 2.2.17 or 2.3.2? For 2.3.2 had to use advance settings and turn them off completely. Not sure right now if that is an issue or not that will require me to go back to 2.2.17.

Was just about to flash 2.2.17 when I got home since I've been using the Korean version.
MIUI232FIXen fixes the wifi as well for 2.3.2? Because thats the only thing I was waiting on before I flashed it.

Yep fixes pretty much everything, install LED patch you recommended works like a charm from my view point. LEDs are off when screen is off and on when screen is on, don't care about blinking when I have some sort of notification. Just wanted them not to always on. Thanks pointing me in the right direction. Did you try 2.3.2 and Manic's patch yet?
everything is works for me, thanks for this fix!

Screen Timeout is there a fix for less wait time?

Just curious if anyone here uses any voip or sip apps? I notice Groove IP works great on MIUI- no echo anymore when the person calling me talks. Only issue I have is that the audio sometimes comes through the speaker instead of the earpiece and I have to press the button to switch between the two.
