Hi! I have a question for you.....
Xda made CM10. But Camera was not working.... So I don't know now(dmb,camera,bluetooth,etc...) Can you answering me?
So actually they made a CM10.1 for the player 5 and nearly everything works fine, except the rear camera...
I'm not sure about CM10 but I think CM10.1 is a better choice because they backported a lot while developing CM10 and there was something strange with the headphones...
Justearh the dvelopment forum for CM10 and CM10.1
In the player 4.0 ROM development threads it seems for CM10.1 they have almost fixed all the bugs from the camera. They currently have a few issues with the the front camera not taking pictures and the back camera only recording in 800x600 or something like that There has also been a few bugs with the speakers, apparently one is quieter than the other.... So that's whats happening with CM10.1 for the 4.0

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?
i recently rooted my SGP with wt-0.2.2 although i Love the Rom I can't get wifi to work. so i ended up reverting back to remICS-UX its not my favrom dew to the fact the camera does not work with it. is there a fix or a patch i can use. i also tried the WT 4 with no difference it is a US yp-g70 player if that helps

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.

pretty sure it the right kernel if i could only get wifi to work on it i would be a happy camper
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!
I know the CM 10.1 build isn't final yet, but I was hoping someone else is seeing the same issue and I'm not just losing my mind. I love the interface, but the lack of autofocus on those two camera features is just killing me.
The two roms I've attempted:
[ROM][4.2.2][AOKPA:CM10.1] ParanoidKANGdroid 2.3.3 [April24]
cm-10.1.0-RC1-quincyatt
Stock camera is affected with a lack of focus on both when trying panoramic pictures.
As for the Photo Sphere, these are the differing 4.2 Camera packages I've attempted to get this to work with the same lack of autofocus:
camera42_patched_v2
camera42_patched_with_sharing-signed
STRATEGISTs Android 4.2 Camera mod with Photosphere standalone for Still images only
Now, all that being said, I have no focus problems when I drop to a rom based on 4.1.x or lower. Which leads me to believe it's an unresolved issue with the CM 10.1 coding in relation to the Galaxy Note at this point.
Thanks for hearing out a noob on his first post. This issue was enough for me to feel like I should sign up for an account and speak up. XDA has served me well since my first Droid adventure, with an Eris, and I give nothing but props to you guys.
Ran into the same thing with the 4.2 Camera when added to the |ROM|| Padawan JB || 4.1.2 || 5|07. The stock Samsung camera works beautifully. I wouldn't be trying this hard to get Photo Sphere if I didn't already have it with a Galaxy Nexus. I'm addicted to that shot mode.
I was able to get the 4.2 Camera to focus in Sphere mode using [rom] [4.1.2] paranoidandroid [2.57] - [jan22].
I guess maybe this is the better noob question: Does the kernel have any impact on how the camera responds? Maybe I should start playing around with kernels?
took this picture a few weeks back on one of my roms, probably PK
http://blownco.me/image.uploads/16-05-2013/original-de4bc3bffbaa6a202fe516bc47098c69.jpg
does not look blurry to me. looks clean and crisp
as for photosphere, thats a ported feature, dont expect it to work as if you had a nexus phone
i too have the blurry panoramic issue with various/latest 4.2.2 roms. i cant say exactly which update, but a few weeks ago it would fc after rendering but would take amazing photos. now it doesnt fc anymore, but is blurry.
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.
