I just flashed my TF201 with the latest 2.6.3 TWRP and the stable CMB 10/21 r2. Everything went smoothly, everything runs well. Except the camera in video mode squishes the preview panel in half, centered. Regular camera shots work, the video records correctly, its just the preview in video mode.
Alternate cameras like MX show the proper video mode.
I tried doing a full partition wipe and clean install, same problems.
Saw someone with a similar problem with CMB on the TF700, guess just not that many people tried this 4.3.1 rom since the 4.4.x is due out shortly. Any ideas on a fix, is there a really good free camera app that's like either the asus stock or a working stock android one? Didn't like MX, IIRC the problem with it was that it wouldn't turn on the flash led for video's in a dark room.
Can't comment in the developer thread as I don't have enough posts.

This is (was) a request for some feedback/review of the CM7 Tablet Tweaks rom for Harmony/Gtablet. Also which files do I install and whats the entire process that was taken to get the market working and which Gapps link did you use? I've installed a few roms so far but reading some of the CM7 forum post i've been hesitant to install CM7 due to some of the old bugs I read about.
I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1028088
but I believe there have been updates to the rom files and not sure which ones to install.
What does or doesn't work with this CM7 Rom? I know video acceleration isn't working but can you still play 720p video through software video players?
What are benchmark scores?
What bugs have been found?
Is it stable? ie. random reboots?random freezes?
EDIT:
So 71 views and I just decided to take the dive into cynogenmod... Totally easy install.
I don't know why I was scared.
Just installed CM7 nightlies 41 check cyanogenmod website for link Look for HARMONY nightlies

Will post video showing actual Video playback and Game playability. Feels silky smooth so far guys.
I'm liking the Honeycomb theme which looks amazing.
Thanks Cyanogenmod team for such an amazing ROM.
Not working-
Video recording
HD video playback not working- fix is to use different players, sometimes this fixes the issues
Sound Playback - have to plug/unplug headphones in order to make speakers play sound
Camera takes pixelated pictures
Some games not working - Minigore (Must have)
Touch screen is jittery when playing games involving 2 virtual joysticks
Some apps just don't work with the Rom, IE.. Quickoffice
[UPDATE]
I was going to do a short video but no longer have my camera (long story)
Last minute thoughts before wiping
- without video acceleration it makes the G Tablet for me unusable, I love the HONEYCOMB theme, seriously it looks awesome but all that good paint on the outside without allowing me to use the video capabilities to their max/video performance is a deal breaker now for me. I will be back to CM7 once the video issues are fixed.
*Goodbye Honeycomb Paint Job*
So, I cannot find anything about this on the web anywhere. I have searched high and low but so far, nothing. Anyway, I've noticed that on AOSP ROMS such as MIUI, Cyanogen and now Oxygen (I just tried Oxygen, OH MY GOD its amazing) there seems to be a bug in any version of the YouTube app. If you load a HQ video, rotate it landscape and let the playback bar fade away, there appears to be a thin bar of distortion that runs along the bottom of the video, about the size of the aforementioned playback bar. Its not there is Sammy ROMs, and seems to be in every AOSP ROM I've used regardless of version and kernel. Here's what I've tried to fix it:
Wipe Dalvik, Cache and Data
Flash a different kernel
Use an older youtube.apk version
Don't update from the market
Do update from the market
Clear youtube app data
It doesn't go away. It also doesn't really bother me that much, I just wanted to see if anyone else has it or not? My workmate's GS2 does as well with any AOSP ROMs. I can't provide a screenshot for obvious reasons, sorry.
I think that there is not much we can do about it. AOSP roms have trouble with native HD support. They don't have the source code for the drivers, so they probably won't be able to fix this.
Have you tried an other youtube app?
hi guys, this may have been better in the development forum, but because I don't post on xda, I cannot post a reply there.
I'm having an issue with the camera on my Evo 3D GSM, specifically with recording videos. Taking stills is perfect.
Whenever I try to shoot video, the camera app crashes and the phone restarts. In 720p, this is almost instant, whereas in 480p it will record for around a minute normally. Now and then, it will record, but normally the video is glitchy, and often displays "this video cannot be played" before the end, even when it does record fine, which is rarely.
My first thought was that it may be an issue with the SD card. I tried with a class 10 16GB and still had the same problem. I also tried flashing various ROMs (JB, ICS) and all of them have the same issue. I also tried clearing the data and cache for the gallery app, and trying a 3rd party camera app which acted in the same way.
I thought maybe it was an issue with my device, but the camera works fine on sense based ROMs. AOSP 4.2 by helicopter88 will record in 480p just fine. CM10/10.1 record 480p for normally up to a minute, AOKP crashes both on 480 and 720. I also thought that it want an isne with the ROMs, but no one else using the ROMs (Disarmed Toaster, Gangnam Style and helicopter88's stuff) has reported the same issue.
any advice or suggestions from more experienced Android users is appreciated. ask if you need more information. thanks
Some evo's have more problems with the camera then others. I for one was somehow lucky enough to get a phone that has zero recording issues. Some people have scanline problems. You mentioned that Sense based roms work. The Buttered Toast kernel has a fix for the camera on AOSP/AOKP, so flashing that kernel might help. I don't know if it will also fix CM roms or not, but its worth a try?
Hi,
Ok, strange title, I admit, bit it describes exactly what problems I am encountering.
My camera app is working fine, but I cannot use camera related apps. I didn't try a lot of apps but the main 2 I want to use (or 1 of both) are Dailyroads Voyager and Autoguard. I want to use my camera as a dashcam. Unfortunately, recording video in these apps won't work. I've tried different options in terms of quality, codecs, resolution, framerates, bitrates,... nothing works. I've also had lengthy mails with the Dailyroads developer, sending him logs. All to no avail.
The standard camera app works flawlessly. I can make vids and pictures no problem at all, 8MP stills and 1080p video. When I flash the photosphere app, it works as expected. Spheres and stills work, for video the sound works but picture is distorted. Which is, as I said, as expected. I've read numerous accounts of the video recording not working.
The strange thing is this only happens on certain ROMs. I've tried Resurrection Remix, and that worked. I then switched to JellyBam (couple of months) where it didn't work. Now in the last couple of days, I tried TurkbeyRom, and hollt [email protected], it worked! However, TurkbeyRom hurts my eyes. Menus are just too 'busy' (can't think of the proper word). So then I switched to SuperNexus since 2 days. Excellent ROM. It improved my battery life with about 1/3rd. But unfortunately, both Dailyroads and Autoguard don't work.
Is there anyone who can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Nobody?
Just to add clarification: The apps work, I can go through settings etc, but from the moment I hit the record button, the image freezes and recording fails.
I'm still having this issue. Anyone?

Well i guess it's rom related, because i am using CM 10.1 and a few games aren't working (Dungeons Hunter 4 and other games), but they work on stock rom and some other roms.

I'm afraid it is rom related, but maybe someone knows a fix? It's a bit strange I think that some roms have this problem and others don't. Even stranger is that I can't seem to find anyone else with problems relating to apps using the camra.
Hi there, this is my first post but I'm not new to the world of custom ROMs.
I have had many ROMs over the years and have recently flashed the slimsaber 4.4.4 v9 with dorimanx 3.14.
All seems to be well apart from a few minor issues that are not of any concern. That is apart from YouTube! My favourite app. It will no longer allow my to select anything greater than 360p. Kind of annoying. I have tried many things to fix this. Like flashing the ROM again. Adjusting DPI to 200. Even used xposed installer. And I can't figure it out.
It was working fine on my previous ROM (jb. I went back to stock ROM) I have not reflashed since the problem but might try as a last resort.
Please can someone help with this. I have read many forums that date back a few years relating to this issue and have tried suggested fixes.
Why is this happening? Could it be a hardware problem?
Thanks
Mark

Hi
I suppose you searched already in slimsaber 4.4.4 thread for you tube problems? I saw several posts concerning this matter.
Does you tube properly work when using Browser (test not only with stock Browser but others like Dolphin).

Thanks for quick response.
YouTube only plays audio on stock browser. On dolphin it works the same as the app.
I'll check the threads again.
Are there any video drivers that can be installed. Is there a way of formatting that will rectify it? Any one have any suggestions?
@elemenopy
I don't quite get what the point is. I think our device's screen resolution is only 360p, right? So it doesn't make sense to try bigger resolutions in YouTube, as you will see no difference. Someone correct me if this is wrong.
As far as i know screen resolution is 480 x 800 pixels

Hi,
You can't install any video drivers onto the ROM as the correct ones are provided by the kernel.
If you really want higher than 360p, try using this modded youtube app:
[MOD] YouTube 4.4.11 (v5b), *1080p* / 720p HD (over WiFi & 3G), screen off playback
Please note that the screen resolution is 480p, but youtube only defaults to 360p.
Note: Dev-host link is a bit dodgy because one of the download buttons seem to be an ad. The correct download button is safe and I've used it on my S2.

Yeah, forgive my ignorance on that part. I'm back on stock 4.1.2 and YouTube only allows 360p. However, I guess the reason why I was hunting for this 'fix' was due to a pixelated image on YouTube when on the slimsaber rom. Also the stock browser would not play video image only audio. This has now gone back to normal now that I'm on jb.
