[Q] Amazing Camera App in 4.2.2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I have a question, is it possible to port the amazing camera app that is included in AOSP and Cyanogen mod 10.1 JB 4.2.2 to a stock Samsung JB rom?
The camera app is amazing in Cyanogen mod 10.1 has so many options like great ISO settings etc... I would really love to use this on a my stock rom (deodexed).
You might ask why don't you just use Cyanogen 10.1, I would love too but I have issues with it that prevent me from being able to use it.

This what u need?

It looks like the one but I don't see the features like in the CM 10.1 camera app, where you change all sorts of stuff like ISO from 50 and up and different modes for different conditions etc... The options menu in this one only has three choices the one in CM 10.1 has about 8 different settings to go into.
Do you know if that is the same one as posted here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...830-jelly-bean-4-2-camera-20.html#post2283346
I think the the camera app was updated from 4.2 to 4.2.2 version or is that the same?

I just installed the latest AOKP and it has the same nice camera I was looking for and the issue I was having preventing me from using CM 10.1 seems not present, so all seems well for now.

pure CM9 vs CM9 builds like hydrog3n or resurrection

hey guys I'm trying to make my way around to all these roms to try for myself. just wanted to get a headsup on what to expect? what are some differences between pure cm9 and cm9 builds like hydrog3n and resurrection.
like I had cm7 on my sgs1 and it had built in BLN that didnt rape battery, I'm not seeing that on my hydro rom. also getting a weird bug where task manager pops up over lockscreen when unlocking .. anyways ill drop some thanks rep to anyone who gives feedback

pure cm9 is pure、fast and clean,even without file Exploerer.
Hydrog3n and Resurrection build is based on AOKP,which have more setting about UI and CPU/IO control

They are all AOSP based, most of the AOSP based ROMs for the SGS2 at least use the device setup from CM9 and usually add their own tweaks and themeing to it, but the overall experience is going to be similar, keep in mind however that CM9 updates on a fairly regular basis (nightlies aren't every night atm, but close) whereas some of these other ROMs may take weeks to incorporate new AOSP features. As for BLN you would need a custom kernel for this, CM stock doesn't currently support it, also on the SGS2 BLN holds a wake lock where on the SGS it did not, this will cause far more drain on the SGS2 than you experienced on the SGS, unfortunately this doesn't appear avoidable.
Pure CM9 > Update Faster
CM9 builds like hydrog3n > Have AOKP, more tweak as the above said
CM9 builds like resurrection > Have AOKP merged with gapps
i dont use google service, just sync contact and mail from Google, so i choose in between hydrog3n and CM9
finally,i choose to use Pure CM9 as it updated faster.
Hydrog3n is a very good rom. A lot of tweak and a cm9 base. But the battery life is not optimized for this time.

A good place to start here would be to read each ROM's thread. We have enough clutter and non-meaningful conversation as it is. We don't need anymore lazy users asking for the Cliff Notes.

Question about Jelly Bean, a Noob

Hey guys, first of all, im german, so please excuse mistakes.
I bought my Galaxy S3 today and flashed it to CM10.
But i was disappointed, cause the "Best Shot" in Camera, the Pop Out Video Function was gone.
I really like the CM10, but these Features were pretty good in the Stock rom.
So my Questions...
1. Is there any Rom out there, which has these "Touchwiz" Features, but has got a smooth Jelly Beam Cm10 Look?
2. At CM10, can i change the Location where my Photos of the Camera will get stored?
I want to save them to my Memory Card.
Best Regards.
Markus
I heard a few talk about aosp camera for s3 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746611 )
From the screenshot I can see you can save to another location, along with "burst". The downside is having 2 camera apps and gallaries.
If you want a smooth touchwiz look, isn't that Stock JB?
Well the features you report missing are unique to samsung roms.
Try the sammy-based roms if you still want them. Using the same file the person mentioned above and I can choose to save to SD

Ive flashed it to the newest Sammy Rom.
Its cool, and its Jelly Bean and smooth.
But i dont know if it is as such smooth as CM10.
Is there a chance to do a CM10 Theme?
Like Raubkatze Mod?
Ive installed this camera, but the best shot feature is not included,also taking pictures while recording doesnt work...

[Q] What is the most basic ROM out there?

I'm currently using SuperNexus and love it. No bloat, pretty much a raw jelly bean OS. Everything works fine. The only thing I'm missing that I really wish I had, was the notification toggles. The app store has some apps that mimic the feature but none of them work the way I like,
So, can anyone tell me which ROM is as basic as SuperNexus, but with the notification toggles integrated?
Temasek's build
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797109
I will check it out.
I'm sort of confused. A lot of ROMs say they are based off CM10. So is CM10 pretty much the pure Android OS with no extras? I can't find a feature list for CM10.
Yeah its based off AOSP, a lot roms use CM10 as a base depending on what hardware the cm10 was built for
Thanks. I will check out Temaseks in a second.
I am glad I found omega ROM v34, it's a nice try for me & I think I'm gonna stick with it..
Use CM10 for pure android experience. You can install notification toggle mod in your rom too if you only want that feature.
I'm also using SuperNexus too and is a great ROM for a pure stock android experience, I missed the notification toggles too but found this app and it does everything i want and even more check it out is called Notification Toggles

I would suggest SlimBean! It's truly Basic AOSP with the main features needed! I am loving this ROM and no bugs with it at all. Check out their thread. It is one of my favourite ROMs ever, also they update it frequently.

Alternative to SuperNexus (AOSP look and feel) but Samsung stock-based

I have been using SuperNexus Build 5 for a few months now: great ROM, very light and super stable.
But obviously, being AOSP-based, I miss the Samsung proprietary features (radio, better camera, etc.)
I'm wondering if there is any ROM based on Samsung stock (and therefore incorporating all the Samsung features) providing plain vanilla Android experience, just like on Google's Nexus devices, as SuperNexus does.
I've tried CodecROM, but it is still too heavily themed for my taste.
Try installing those mods on InsertCoin

I'm using FoxHound Rising 1.6 right now since last friday and I have to say that It's really nice, provide Aroma Installer a lot o tweaks and a nice Original Android look and feel. I can use the FM radio, it brings updated google apps and all the Sammy's features that I tried until now works.
The only bug that I've found is when I tried to add an event for a contact like a birthday, the contact app got a FC.
All the rest are fine until now.

You should try ultimarom. It exactly what you are looking for. On flashing you can select which app you want and which you don't.

Try using any of the Sammy based roms and use holo locker and holo launcher. That's what I do and I haven't looked back.

I had been using UltimaROM for the same reason you are.
Before UltimaROM, I tried almost all roms here but I could not find anyone that close. It's a great rom.
Right now I am trying SuperNexus 2 rom from last 2-3 days. It's very light and feels very smooth. You might want to try it if you are romholic.

Indeed I tried SuperNexus 2 (since I've been using SuperNexus Build 5 for months I'm a huge fan of Faryaab's work), but the way Android 4.2.1 manages the sdcard is awful (I do not really believe multiuser is needed for a smartphone... maybe it's useful for tablets).
Overall I could not find any significant improvement with 4.2.1 so I decided to stay with 4.1.2 and UltimaROM seems to me the best 4.1.2 Samsung-stock based rom with possibility to get AOSP look and feel (and now I have radio, working camera, voice recorder, etc.).
Thanks again!

Yep, I miss that too.
I will be re-flashing Ultima this weekend.
alternative to stock rom
I really don't like the stock look of the phone. The lockscreen is the only exception. So, I'm exactly looking to go as much as possible away from stock Samsung appearances.
I recently used UltimaRom, which I believe is one of the best I've tried so far, but the stock dialer, contacts etc menus made me go back to Resurrection Remix or ReVOLT tipe of roms. Now, because I'm new at this whole customization thing I'll put some possibly silly questions below.
Here we go:
1. Can I put stock samsung apps like radio, s memos etc, etc. on a random rom? That way to avoid changing the whole rom.
2. What is a AOKP based rom and is that the type of rom I should look for? RRemix and Revolt both are AOKP based roms and their appearance is nice, but i experience fc's with them. There two roms have different dialer, contacts and during call look that I like better that any stock rom.
3. It is possible to use Sammy-based rom and just somehow replace the terrible menus with the menus from like RR and Revolt, but keep their custom looks.
I am struggling already few weeks to find working, lite, fast rom, that will be as far as possible from samsung-based roms, but at the same time stable and reliable daily driver.
I'm am not so much into experimenting with roms, more into finding one and sticking with it from that point on. I tried a lot of roms already - RR,Revolt, MIUI, UltimaRom and others. They are all either stock but stable or pretty customized but experimental. Please give me some advice.
Thanks.

AOKP (android open kang project)/AOSP (android open sorce project) is base android platform. And AOKP/AOSP based roms means they use base Android platform and add some additional features from their own like adding some apps or some theme/styling. If you like vanilla android look then you should try CM10.1 because that's base of most AOSP based roms.

Samsung phone apps will only work on samsung based roms. They will not work on other roms because samsung based apps only work with touchwiz framework (by samsung) and unless you add touchwiz framework support in other roms, apps simply will not work and you will experience FC. But there are always alternative apps available, so I don't think it's a big deal.

There is also a themeing platform for Samsung based roms, it's JB DOMINATION if I am not wrong. This framework styles some general elements in samsung rom to provide feeling of AOSP platform. Rom developers used this framework and styled their rom to develop a good balance between samsung features with AOSP looks.
If you are a developer, you can try modifying any rom but if you are looking for a existing samsung rom to completely look like AOSP then you are out of luck. I don't think there is one.
As I mentioned above, if you are fond of AOSP looks then you might want to try CM10.1 rom. You will get clean android system.
I have tried many roms in past 3 months and I can only vouch for CM10.1 and SuperNexus 2. Both of these are good roms and do not include any unnecessary apps or styling. But give you great Android experience.

[Q] I'm looking for a custom ROM

Hi everyone,
I would like to install on my S2 a ROM based on CM10.1, but which has some of the features of the stock Samsung firmware, like the following:
status bar accesible from anywhere by swyping down on the upper part of the screen
dialer with quick gestures for calling and sending message
Pop-up play
smart stay
widgets from Samsung
Alarm clock with smart alarm
task manager
Samsung music player with music square
zoom in the web browser by sliding on the margin of the page
Do you know any ROM with these features?
Looks like it's easier for you to just install a Samsung rom Install another launcher and you're done.
It's not just about the launcher, but the general look and feel of CM10.1. It's faster, and it has a bunch of features that I like. And not forget the quick settings panel
But those features that I enumerated above are pretty indispensable for me.
check out this thread (X-Treme CM10):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795200
It's AOKP/CM based ROM with a Galaxy S3 Mod that adds the features you are looking for and still maintains the fast user experience.
It's not quite what I was looking for. I didn't even found the Samsung features except for a crappy Task manager replica.
