I've been rooted since I first picked up my i777 Galaxy S2 back in June of last year and have been swapping between different ROM's since roughly October. At some point (and I have no idea when) the camera seemed to start showing pictures taken in portrait as landscape but the issue is sporadic. Right now I'm on a touchwhiz based ROM (SHOstock3 v2.1 (most recent)) and the gallery and messaging apps will show the pictures as I took them but if I use Instagram (no matter what ROM I'm using at the time) I have to rotate the pic because it ONLY shows pics in landscape. I first discovered the problem when using the stock messaging app in Task650's AOKP ROM, but the same holds true for Rayaab's SuperNexus ROM or any other AOSP/AOKP based ROM when using the stock Google messaging app. I can use a different messaging app like Handcent when using those ROM's and pictures will show correctly but when I pick a ROM, I like to use the "stock" apps the ROM's come with for basic functions like messaging, email. I have even tried some of the camera apps from the Play Store while using the AOKP/AOSP based ROM's to see if that fixes the problem but it does not. It seems as though something has gone screwy and I have no idea when or how it might have happened. I'm hoping someone here might have some insight.
Thanks in advance.

That is just how AO*P ROMs work. They all do that. TW is the only one that works correctly in that manner BUT every image shows up as a slide show which sucks also but me personally...I'd rather have the slideshow then have every portrait image rotate.
I'm assuming instagram is the same way. I don't use it personally but my wife does and I can check with her.
I never thought you would be the one answering my question but thank you SHOman! The reason I don't think it's the ROM's is that I seem to remember using Instagram before I ever started flashing and not having to rotate pictures taken in portrait. But there again I can't recall if it was only before I started flashing different ROM's or if it was working for a while when I was using the AO*P ROM's.

Hey guys,
i rooted my phone some days ago, threw everything that's Samsung out of it (Gallery, Calendar, Tasks, the hubs etc.) and replaced it with stock ICS stuff. However, I haven't found a way to replace the samsung dialer or the contacts app with their resective AOSP equivalents. Is there a way to do that?

yes its there to replace, but from my past it will often give you problems over time. so its better to use some alternative dialers or simply you can try some custom aokp/aosp roms.
Use custom ROM which is based of Samsung with themed as aosp.
Do a search for aospcontactsmms.zip I used to have it but stopped using it due to it causing problems with the built in blacklist.

Thanks for the replies So far, I'm really impressed by how well everything works, even after removing some Apps Like all the hubs, chat, samungs e-mail and calendar app etc.
I really thought i would run into problems, since this is the first time i rooted an android phone and messed around with it. I will now try to replace the contacts app etc., and if that causes problems I'll go for cm9...or is there a ROM that's even closer to "stock ics"?
Stock ics .... Look under Android development.
Hi guys,
I have used CM9 for a long long time on my SGS1 and the battery was amazing.
When I got my i9300 some months ago, i tried CM9 as soon as it was made available.
Soon I returned to a Samsung based ROM for one reason: the camera application.
Now I know that a project was started to bring some of the functionality to AOSP based roms here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746611
Still the HDR functionality is missing and to be honest I simply would like the Samsung camera to work on CM10.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Samsung's camera needs the Touchwiz framework to operate, since all these apps and system modifications are heavily interdependant and cannot be individually moved around.
There should be enough other camera applications in Play Store, are there really NONE you like?
Should be able to port it if you want to take the time. Just make sure you have updated things to work with! How to port!
i am not sure if you noticed that while on CM10, the pictures and video playback quality is not as good as the stock gallery and stock player.
The pictures and videos seemed to have more noise on them.

Have you used the Samsung camera with that phone? It is amazing, and no pixel fuzz, and HDR and panorama, etc etc. It really is the best camera app.
If you really want it, I've made a package including the latest Samsung JB Camera app and the TouchWiz framework. It's not tested but uses the same principle as the Samsung Apps for CM10, so it might work. As always, backup first, then flash the zip with CMW. You can get it here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?c7g9v8pup1x7r8j. Let me know if it works.

I flashed it and nothing happened. I don't see any camera app after the installation
I flashed it and with the new framework it say Optimizing apps.. so I take it, my install is goofy now with TW crap and it seems to be running with twice as much current..
Anyways no camera install, if I add the apk it just wont install, and not sure if it is because of CM10 mmqualcommcamera as kernel process..
But Samsung apps works.
I had a galaxy s3 which was smooth when zooming thru the pictures in the gallery.
Now i got another galaxy s3 , with OMEGA V33.2 Rom , along with siyah 1.8.
What is causing this thing ? I also removed all unwanted bloatware.
Thx
I too noticed the Lag when zooming pictures.The lag started after I updated to 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
On 4.1.2 no such issue.
Wait for the update to come out.

The gallery on 4.1.1 (Touchwiz) is bugged, black bars and weird stuff, they fixed it in 4.1.2 by bringing the note 2 gallery.
So no it isn't a core android issue, just fixed by samsung in their 4.1.2 leak.
Confirm that 4.1.2 works perfect.

Meh, stock gallery is still slow to load. Especially when I take a picture and then click on the new image, its like its trying to re load my entire photo archive from scratch. Really annoying

Its a shame really, QuickPic is really smooth. But you cannot link it to the camera app unfortunately.

Im using quickpic too until 4.1.2 is released and the damn lag if fixed
Same here, but it only happens with the stock gallery, if you are still on 4.1.1 you can install the note 2 gallery app and it should smoothen things out until 4.1.2 is released.

I doubt it will be fixed. It seems like Samsung ignores the simplest things on a phone. Contacts/Dialer that is slow to load, messaging app that refreshes (when you can see the phone numbers before your contacts names load up), laggy gallery. Ex dialer is a fine solution for contacts. But the slowness of the gallery app when opening it after taking a picture is quite poor. The gallery app should open when the camera is open, or at least stay in memory. Seeing the phone say LOADING for 2-3 seconds when other phones are instant is a shame lol.

Couldn't agree more.
All basic things are a mess in this cell.
Gallery lag
Yesterday i installed the stock 4.1.2 rom from kies (i am not rooted) and the whole phone seems laggier, especially the new gallery app it is awfull, it lags all the time even when it is allready opened in the backgroung. the pinch to zoom is almost unresponsive, too laggy.
Should i make a hard (factory ) reset , because some people say that the 4.1.2 is very fast. I bought the s3 I9300 two weeks ago and it had 4.1.1 which felt not that fast (and coming from iphone 4s a bit dissapointed) but for sure better than th 4.1.2. Suggestions please !!!
It is a piece of ****. Just use QuickPic
Greetings everybody,
As the title suggests, I want to switch to using a custom rom as my daily driver,
First I like the stock android look better than touchwiz's, and having the ability to tweak my phone to my liking is tempting.
But there are a few things holding me back from doing that, I've tried using AOKP 4.2.2 ROM a few days ago but went back to the factory setup immediately after for a few reasons:
1- Camera's auto-focus has gotten slow and faulty, and the quality of the images worsened.
2- I couldn't sync facebook with my contacts (profile pictures show on contacts).
3- Many apps that came built in with samsung's touchwiz were removed and I had to download similar ones from the play store (music player, fm radio, file browser etc... I also found that setting up my ringtone is a bit fiddly.
If somebody could help me find a way to address some of these problems that's be very much appreciated.
Thanks in a advance!

Quality of images can't be solved, but auto focus is solved in the recent nightlies
Use haxsync or uber sync for fb contacts
The samsung apps need the framework (touchwiz) and will not work on AOSP

Use touchwiz based roms , you ll have the exact same stock look and feel and better performance , the apps you wanted will be present in them and they will mostly be stable , so you wont have any problems , plus you ll have root so you can do all the tweaking you wanted and are interested in
Go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220154 - look at roms under samsung base Enjoy! Welcome to Rooting , Youre never going back !
I had the same thing but I just kept flashing roms to see wich I like best. Seems sotmax seems ok for now im just waitin for a 4.2 rom wich does not drain my battery while I setup my phone and apps. (I found out if I read properly it might be kernel related and that there is no official good kernel for the 4.2 android.)

Hi All,
Long time reader of the forum, finally registered an account.
I'm having an issue wherein the camera freezes and crashes while taking video in apps. Video works fine while recording using the camera app. I've noticed this while using the messaging app and vine. In vine the video starts recording for about .5 seconds before crashing.
I am rooted and using AOKP JB rom (latest). I would have posted in that forum but I'm not allowed since it's a new account (you guys are serious here). I've searched that forum, found a few related posts but no resolution. I have fully wiped, I have cleared app data. I think its a problem with a ROM or Kernel itself. Actually seems like a buffer issue since the video records briefly before crashing but who knows.
If anyone has had a similar issue maybe with another ROM let me know. thanks.
No one else has had this problem??
If there was another topic let me know, I've searched heavily but maybe I've missed it.
I'm just trying to determine if this is hardware or software (or kernel/ROM).
Can anyone confirm that they are NOT having this issue and let me know what software you're running?
Thanks.
The most reliable test of whether your problem is hardware or firmware related is to flash back to stock and try the video in the stock camera. You can make a nandroid backup and restore it afterwards to get back to where you are now.
On the stock GB ROM the camera works in SMS but malfunctions in some apps.
I just flashed the official JB ROM from samsung and everything works perfectly, so definitely software.
same issue here, for vine, snapchat, instagram.
Similar issue here, with a Samsung Galaxy 2 (SGH-T989D) running JB 4.1.2 with the official JB update, rooted.
Camera will work for 20-30 seconds and then the in-app video preview will freeze and the only way to get the camera to work again is to reboot. There is no zombie Camera process to kill. Fixing permissions doesn't help. Doesn't matter which app tries to access the camera, they all fail.
I've tried the diagnostics test (*#0*#) and have been able to determine that it's only the rear facing camera that fails, the front facing camera always works fine.
I tried various camera firmware versions (using the "Camera Firmware Standard" screen, *#34971539#), currently running version SEEH05. Other versions either didn't work at all or would perform equally poorly.
I thought it might be an SD card problem,
But after removing the external SD card, the camera performed even worse (crashed even faster).
On the other hand the phone is still under warranty from Telus, so I'm considering flashing back the unrooted ROM and returning it for repairs, unless someone can suggest something else to try.
Running PAC ROM (22.0 i think) from the ported development section and have the same issue with the rear camera but the front camera seems to work OK most of the time for Snapchat and such. A while back I tried one of the separate 4.2.2 camera APK's that's floating on this site and had the same issue still.
Has anyone tried the new leaked 4.3 camera to see if that works better/worse?
Not sure if this would work or not, but you could probably try.
Clear out all current videos and pictures on internal sd card(of course after taking backup), wipe/reset and then do a fresh rom install.
