Hey XDA. I'm making a thread about how horrific the camera is on 4.2.2. Snap chat/instagram/Facebook etc all crash when attempting to use the camera. Is there a fix for this or does it only work for 4.1.2?

My camera works fine takes pictures just fine your title is incorrect the problem is not in the camera but in those apps.

^^^ what he said, the included aosp 4.2.2 or cm camera work flawlessly,
3rd party apps are your issue
By support I meant 3rd party apps my bad haha is there a fix?

I haven't heard of one yet, I would think you'd have to find a dev who is interested in these apps i'm pretty sure Jamie isn't one and then log cat. I don't use any of these apps so I'm not really of any help just seen people talking about this. It may be a cm issue as I believe I remember some one saying. So maybe it will get fixed.

Camera accesses by 3rd Party apps now working with Jamie's 6/14 Build of PACman and UBER kernel. (Maybe just the ROM, but that was the combination that I tested Facebook & Airdroid on. (The camera in both apps locked up the phone under ParanoidKangdroid twelve days ago.)

Thank the OP in the above link if it works for you!
Got it up and working on my phone. I'm running Shostack2 3.1.1
Many similar threads on XDA , NOT COOL !1!
I can see multiple similar threads on half-baked Google now from JB which is still quite buggy... atleast one in all smartphone's theme section ...
You should mention whats working and whats not before directing someone to this link ... is not very usable as of now.

Exactly, I've had this for a day or so, and voice search isn't working. But they're aware of that issue, and attempting to fix it. OP should mention that voice doesn't work.

Voice-to-text will not work without kernel support or a hack forcing the app to use the existing Google Speech-to-text implementation. Either direction will take an obscene amount of time, i'd imagine. Don't wait up...
Why is this sinking down the app list?! People need to see this!

After using for several days, one issue I've noticed (besides voice search not working), is that the "cards" do not automagically "appear" on my phone. Rather, to view any card, I have to manually open the app. Once there I see a relevant card, such as the weather, or the length of my commute to work when the phone figures it's time for me to go to work. But my understanding is that Google Now, working properly, is supposed to make these cards "pop up" on your phone, rather than you having to manually open the app.

Hi All, can this be installed on Stock ICS rom ?

Yes. Search for mikeyxda07. I believe that's the file. One of the xda devs (mike) has one up and running. Also, I think Shostock has it in his ROM. Why not just switch to JB and install it with one of the various Aroma gapps installers? Works well.

Shostock no longer has Google Now included, Shoman removed it..:thumbup:

i am looking to replace some old GB apps :good:
can you list these "new" ICS apps?
I'm not understanding this. What plethora of apps did you feel you did not have access too? I mean, maybe some new launchers, but iirc, most apps aren't written for ICS exclusively.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Well although apps aren't exclusively for ics, se apps for instance YouTube has been updated and although I've had ics since the first leak that was my favorite app lol
&& especcially Nova launcher

I ASSumed there was for only a couple reasons: iirc there was some game(s) that i saw in the app store that couldn't be played on GB.?. ...... Also i have quite a few apps that are missing now since the update...i figured some apps work only on GB while others on ICS :cyclops:

That's true about some disappearing. However, I honestly wonder if its maybe leak based as to why some don't work

How does Chrome operate on the official ICS build? It always seemed to preform a bit worse than than the stock browser did on the unofficial CM9 builds.

The problem is with the browser itself, not so much the builds. I've easily run 30 different builds (at least) on all my devices (stock, tweaked leaks, CM9, AOSP)...chrome runs the same with problems on all. I use both chrome and dolphin HD myself. Dolphin for embedded flash. Overall I'd say dolphin is the best (however I love the sync ability of chrome!)

I myself use chrome the most, it does the job better then stock but when I need flash, the stock is what I use...

I've recently re-installed Ressurection Remix 2.6 and although I love the rom I was rather disappointed to see that the camera app has been replaced with Camera ICS from Play Store.
This version does not come with the real time 'funny face' video features which I had before.
Anyone know how I can go about getting that one back in my phone?
Thanks

I have two phones Samsung Galaxy Note (AT&T) and Samsung Skyrocket (i727).
CM 10.1.2 are installed on both.
Instagram - The video recording feature works on the Skyrocket, but not Note. The camera feature does not work until I disable 'advanced camera' option in the Instagram App itself, but the video feature is not available. Latest build is installed.
SnapChat - The camera and video recording features work on Skyrocket, but not Note. The camera and video access to snap chat hangs the operating system and you can see green over the camera image if it appears. Latest build is installed.
From Clockwork Touch Recovery (latest version), I have cleared cache, wipe dalvik, and wipe user data options prior to installing the latest CM10.1.2 and nightlies on the Note, but I still cannot get it to work. Fiddling with the developer options such as hardware overlay and hardware anti aliasing are not helping.
I spent a long weekend trying every build since CM 10.0 on the Note. It appears something changed in the nightly from April 15, 2013 or so nightly build that broke support in the camera. If I go back to the April 11 experimental build or 15th nightly build, both the Snapchat and Instagram work on the Note without issues.
Wrong thread. Try disabling HW overlays.

Disabling HW overlays did not help. I get a black screen on Instagram. And Snapchat still freezes/crashes.

Flashing a stock rom obviously works, but that isn't the goal of my post.
Per my original comment, CM 10 did work properly until 4.15.2013. I think a bug was introduced. The i727 (skyrocket) does not have this problem even on current builds. Is there any place to file a bug ticket for the quincyatt CM build? My openID doesn't seem to be allowed on CM's Jira system.
Have you tried different ROMs?
Instagram was working (mostly) for me on PACMan. Haven't tried 4.3, but the 4.2 version. The only thing is apparently video didn't work right...but I don't know, never used video.

Do you mean video recording or playback? Both were working in CM prior to 4/15/2013 on snapchat and instagram. Where can we report a bug?
Apologies, I should have specified.
I meant video recording is buggy. Everything else works fine, though.
As far as bugs, you can report them to the ROM developers in their thread. I'd try and provide a logcat if possible, so they can figure out the issue more.
From what I have seen on videos and read on various blogs and from people using early AOSP builds, the new Google Search is significantly improved - most importantly in terms of speed, which has always been my biggest gripe with it. So earlier I pretended like I still had a nexus and tried to install the new apk from the factory image over the one we all have, and predictably, it opened but would FC every time I tried to run a search. Anybody else tried? anybody havE any thoughts on how we might be able to make it work?

Hmm this? http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-home-android-4-4-launcher-apk/
Running the new google launcher/search on my s4 now.
Yeah, just need to change language then change back. Also make sure you have the latest Play Services version installed.
See here, fix posted ... http://phandroid.com/2013/10/31/download-and-install-the-new-google-experience-launcher/
Still can't get it to work even with these steps. The launcher works fine, but it is a bit laggy
