if you were coming off of an ICS rom to GB, you need to make sure you flash the correct kernel for your device. RemICS-UX is a bit outdated , as we have stable CM10 builds now. The cameras aren't fully working on these yet either. The front camera does not yet save photos, but the camcorder works fine. The front-facing camera works for stills and video but the viewfinder on both of these is spastic.

I wanted to get an understanding of the situation. What are the main hurdles to getting all the cameras on the tab working on all the ROMs? Is there something else that they are missing? Are there other components that need to be released by Samsung for the cameras to work?
Why is the front-facing camera more challenging than the rear?
I'd love to hear from some of the devs about this. It's really interesting stuff!
Back cameras already working in the ROMs I used, front camera needed the 3.1 kernel and a little extra mods, so far most of the Jellybean ports for my 3 Android devices have literally everything but FFC working... It's probably just a PITA across devices

That sounds great! Could you explain a little more about the front facing camera (explain like I'm 5).
No one is looking into fixing the ffc as a feature of its own. They are all busy building the 3.1 kernel for CM based on the lastest sources. They want to get CM9 to a "stable" release, this includes missing features like the ffc as well. When they are done, the camera will work.
Front camera would be great. I'd rather have front then rear camera since taking photos with a tablet is anything but comfortable. Front camera on the other hand would be a treat for Skype.

Is there any way to follow the development status of this?
Hey all,
I have been away for a while using a deodexed stock latest update rom for a while just fine. I continue to use Sense because of the camera app. When I was here last, the camera kind of sucked on custom roms, so I felt like to keep the camera to its best I needed to stay with the stock ROM.
What do you guys think of this? Is it ok to switch to a Jellybean 4.1 ROM or 4.2 when that inevitably gets ported too? Does the camera still record 1080p, and does the camera use the image co-processor for instant burst mode?
The camera is one of the main focus points on this phone for me, and the Sense ROM camera experience has been really good.
The last time I heard was that people say the sense camera is being ported through cm10 though I have yet to see any evidence of it working.
HTC didn't release the driver for the image chip which is responsible for post processing, auto focus, flash level, and noise reduction, white balance, etc...
I heard that porting it is virtually impossible because those stuff are propriety of htc.
The camera on port works, though using the camera would drain your battery life as everything is done on soc instead of the dedicated chip. You would also lose the continuous auto focus and all the pre programmed optimization which would result in worse image especially in low light.

Using CM10 + the 4.2 Camera = :victory:
It's wonderful, I haven't had any issues like the stock Sense camera has.
Nice, I thought the sense camera wouldn't work without the sense framework... any info on this trickery?

So true. The 4.2 camera is really nice. The images are quality and the camera itself is functional. There's a zip file out there that you can flash. It's named 4.2Camera_EVO.zip.

Only issue that I found on the CM 10 4.2 camera is when using the video camcorder I cannot get the FPS past 21. Normal operation for video is 29. Shooting video at 21FPS makes things jumpy..
For taking pictures the 4.2 is passable. VIdeo not so much..
That is why I am also stuck in the Sense World ...
Hello, first an explanation then a question...
I'm pretty experienced in installing roms, etc.
The video camera is broken in Jelly bean 4.2.x for the samsung galaxy note i717 (att).
Several other models too.
I'm really really disappointed because that means i'm going to have to go back to ICS.
I spent many many hours working on this and can only get low quality fuzzy vid that doesn't even play back.
Many others have had this issue as well, but I can't find any word on a fix.
yes, i've installed the latest GalleryGoogle.apk
i'm using the Liquid Smooth RC8.
If anyone can provide some info, is anybody working on this problem etc, that would be great.
Also, is it possible to get the older ICS camera app working with JB ? I kind of doubt it.
I did install MX camera but it showed the same behavior. it wouldn't even record...
I've tried to post to the developer section for Liquid Smooth i717 but I'm "Not allowed to post there"
So this is the only place i can post...
any info is greatly appreciated.
i guess it's back to ICS then. bummer.
Since all the developers creating JB roms are working with a base rom that isn't from our phone, the video board and camera hardware are not an exact match. So on our phone no video.
Until samsung releases a JB rom for this model/hardware, there will be lingering issues.
Download ucam from play store records video fine on JB
sent from my lovely phone....hmmm wait its a tablet...waaa i dont really know.....im PARANOID NoW!
or a 4.1 camera apk
Thanks for the responses, have temporary fix that works.
Hi All,
Well after a ton of mucking around I've found a kludge.
Firstly the ucam is weird. i think it leads to what the actual problem is. in ucam you can only select either 176x144 or 1920x1080. That's it. It defaults to 176 because the note doesn't support 1920... this leads me to believe that the internal software/drivers are not recognizing the right 'pins' for the note i717 camera... interesting.
What worked for me was to go to 4.1 jellybean . I'm now using Gubment_Cheeze_v3.4.
After finally getting that setup, the included 4.1 camera works. Takes very nice video.
Note that I tried to use the 4.1 camera in 4.2 liquidsmooth, but it kept crashing, rebooting, etc.
I tried ucam as well but same behavior in 4.2.
Now, after installing Gubment I installed the camera 4.2 apk and it works too, but not for video.
but that's ok because i can do video with the 4.1 camera and cool picture stuff from the 4.2 camera.
good enough for now!
Is it true that if we flash cyanogenmod on our galaxy players than the camera doesn't work anymore? I still have hope that my galaxy player 4.2 gets cm on it someday.

It actually depends on what player you're referring to. If you're referring to the 4.2, CM7 does not have a working camera and there are no devs to try and fix that. Obviosly, CM7 is not a daily driver for us. But, the other players like the 4.0 and 5.0 have gradually improved from a non-functioning camera to almost completely stable camera on CM11. Basically, it depends on the developer. If the dev is really keen on making a ROM a daily driver, he/she will definately work on the camera. But if he just wants to make a ROM bootable, only the major problems like wi-fi, bluetooth etc. will be fixed as camera has a low priority in the mind of a dev.
Wow makes sense. I always wondered why it wasn't working with cm7. I hope cm 11 on the 3.6 has a working camera.

I don't think that will be necessary. I am sure most of the people who have a galaxy player have another android phone, or atleast a good camera that they carry around. No one depends on their player's camera to get their job done. So I think that the dev should focus on fixing other bugs and/or porting Android L when it comes out, or port other ROMs like Carbon and PAC. Personally, I use my player only for music and videos and the occasional browsing, but extremely rarely to take pics, because no one cares about a 2MP pic.
Lol this is very true. I use my phone to take pictures. Rarely used my players. I guess you are right. A usable camera isn't necessary. As long as the WiFi and audio works than I'm satisfied. Question about holofrenzy. Is there an new update? The ota updater says there is but it's version 1.3 as well.

Hi i have on my S4 mini 9195 the CyanogenMod 12.1.
I am looking for the best camera that allows you to take pictures in high resolution and full screen.
Thanks in advance :good:
I assume you mean best camera application, try camera 360 ultimate
Im been using Camera ZOOM Fx for years and still find it a great camera app on my S4 mini.

Using it as well and I am happy with it
Try: Focus or Cyanogenmod camera app, they're pretty similar but I prefer CMcamera.
Open camera is the best by far.
i really like the stock camera. And bec of it i am coming back to stock rom from cm12.1, i really like cm12.1 Rom. i am sometime go for it but come back to stock rom because of camera. Tried alots of cameras some are mentioned here. Which are good but i kinda of not satisfied with them . i wish sometime in future Stock camera come to cm.

Will never happen. As source for this has never been released by Samsung. Has been this way for ALL custom ROMs since ever. The camera is the main reason I keep going back to stock. Focus is horrible on pretty much all custom ROMs. But because of major security flaws in stock OS I'll be switching back to CM.
Maybe auto focus is terrible but manual is damn good for macros. I used to make macros of smartphone motherboards, mostly after water damage to show clients that they phones wasn't stop working just by themselves. I can tell You on stock pictures from my phone was a lot worse than my coworker iPhone 5 and now they are a lot sharper and brighter than on his iPhone. I never tested outside photos on CM but I think it's only matter to feel manual focus.
Snap on CM11
Also using 12.1 on s4 mini, I've tried all cameras but have settled on Snap Camera HDR. Focuses fast and accurately, and doesn't lag. Also works well in lower light.
I just came back from CM 12.1 to CM11 in my S4 Mini Duos and switched to snap Camera HDR. Far better than built in CM11 camera app. The only thing I miss is the capturing with on/off button...
I use A Better Camera
Google Camera is pretty fast.
I've settled on A Better Camera (running on CM12.1) as I like layout etc., admittedly auto focus is not as good as CM app in some lighting conditions but a quick tap on the screen and it will focus perfectly.
Try the Ucamera application.
It is very good and it has many effects. It s available on play store
Google Camera is a pretty good choice.
It is not so simple. You can not have the same quality stock cam because any cam app is working with generic drivers in CMs or any other ROM CM based . For the same reason , the audio (mostly capture) also will never have the same quality.
It is a price to pay: Camera and audio quality worse.
Some apps can even do a good job, but difficult to achieve equal quality.
Until the other day I used CM13 and even liked, but needed quality to scan a document on an emergency. I had to restore Stock Backup. I lost the desire to again change the ROM and stayed in Stock. Unfortunately it is a reality.
Some apps can even do a good job, but difficult to achieve equal quality.
One consolation is to use some Xposed Modules and other tools that make Stock ROM ... Less outdated, I would say.
