Hey there guys .
Well i was using AOSP Based roms for a long long time,
untill i figured out taking pictures was really ... a huge thing to me.
I feel like theres no rom that can handle camera as good as TouchWiz based roms.
So i switched to Android Revolution (4.3) with a S5 Theme which looks kinda neat and works pretty decent -
BUT ITS NOT AOSP which i love so much ...
I was using Temasek's builds for ages and i kinda miss that feeling having a nexus experience on my phone.
I would love to know if theres a solution for it...
a good AOSP (4.4+) with a good camera who does not crash. ("Cannot connect to camera") ?
any news about getting official kitkat update for i9300 and hope that CM will work on it ?
So please if anyone knows what im going through just guide me.
Thanks alot.
No one ? \:
have you thought about dual-booting ?

I used the SlimKat rom for some time and I solved the camera crashes with a file in this forum. If you go to the section called "Themes and Apps" you will find a post with a tutorial on how to fix these camera crashes on AOSP roms.

Ive never tried dual boot before but im trying to think about situations like'
"me walking down the street, running CM on my phone .. suddenly BAMN! a flying cow. i gotta take a quick responsive HD footage of it" ( some 1080p video running on 30fps steady... y'know.. without that cm lag")
so that ain't an option i guess.

To be honest, I did not take many photos with the camera, but the ones I took were okay I guess (I'm no expert so I can't tell you if they are or not better than the ones you can take with the Samsung camera app).
Regarding the video recording, I'm afraid it's worse than the one on Samsung app, because it randomly starts focusing somewhere else and you have to refocus by tapping the screen. And forget about recording anything with the front camera as you could only make SD videos with pretty bad quality.
There's no camera like the Samsung one but this is the closest you can be to that on an AOSP rom.
Hope it helped.

There may be any aosp rom with good camera handle. I used temasek but camera ?! I think it used to crash. Now I am using FuisonSP but getting freeze/restart and camera crash.
I suggest you to try some other camera apps. Google and find some of the bests

Ive found some good camera apps (Camera FV-5) - which crashes alot on AOSP.
but there is no recording app as good as TW's.
Well why don't you try to sign samsung camera apk and put it at /system/app it would work will or u can use camera 360 which is a good app i think..

I recently flashed CyanogenMod 7.1 on my Galaxy SII. I previously had a Galaxy S Captivate and couldnt stand being stuck with a stock rom after using CM7. One of the only complaints i have about CM 7.1 RC is that the camera app crashes, and is completely unusable. Even if this were not the case, i love the original camera app on this phone.
So my question is, and it may very well be a complete noob question, so please try not to bash me too much, but Is there any way to flash the stock camera app onto Cyanogen? Or does the new Kernel/Rom prevent a stock application from running correctly?
Thanks a lot guys,
Evan

You cannot flash stock camera into CM7 it. If it was that easy it would have been done already.
If you want to retain all the features of the camera and video part of the phone
it's best to stay away from CM7 until the DEVS decide to fix it.
I have been testing CM7 ever since I first purchased my Samsung Captivate and
now with my new SGS2 i777.
GTG's UnNamed v1.03 custom rom is the best currently available for our phones.
It achieves the full & steady 30fps according to the specifications of the phone.
The user interface cosmetically speaking is also the best there is right now.
CM7 is not ready for prime time yet especially if video recording and camera
user interface (UI) is important to you.
There are many missing features and options in the CM7's camera user interface.
CM7 still does NOT achieve the full continuous 30fps while recording video.
So home made recordings when played back will not be super smooth and will
not achieve the video standards according to the specification of the phone.
BUT it's up to you guys, if you hardly use the camera at all CM7 is great.
(personally I use my camera a lot and video recording is very important to me.)
Sorry to put this in General but I haven't met the requirements to post elsewhere and hopefully someone will see this .
I've been keeping up with the Atrix 4G CM10 Mod and have to say great work so far. The latest version fixes most of the issues I've seen in the past including the Camera and random reboots.
Few things it doesn't fix that may be either app developer issues, issues with the mod itself, or something I'm not thinking of; Netflix doesn't work , Triple Town (and some other games) don't work (I think this is due to hardware accel, but they work on my Flipside so I'm not sure that matters much).
Anyways just wanted to say thanks, and great work. Can't wait for the next update.

Just tried it but I'm going back to Turl's CM9 which I've been using for a month now. CM10 isn't quite as refined as CM9 atm, CM10 doesn't allow for transitions also the crt animation isn't functioning along with GPS(which also isn't working in CM9 for me), on the bright side Google now worked good on CM10 and is pretty cool.

Video is not working in the native camera app but you can apparently download a camera app in the maket to take video. Chrome tabs still crash the app. Neither of these will probably be able to be fixed until we get official drivers from ICS update.

Seems to depend on who you are, the Camera and Camcorder work fine for me under CM10 with the native camera application. Though it does crap out from time to time. I've had better luck with Pudding Camera being stable.
As for tabs, don't know, will have to look to see if they are working when I get home.

Whitout acceleration, ICS or JB is useless =/ (no video cam, no 720p video playback)
Whaiting for the official one ^^ (It will be crapy but our deves will mod it)
I know, my english is terrible!
I have jokersax CM10 and my issues so far are:
-When the camera takes a picture with the flash on, the image is overlayed with a heavy green tint, also happened in CM9
-Cant see internal SD storage in Win7.
-Video worked at first (with delay) but now crashes with some gallery error.
-Can't get GPS to work but I'll try GPS test outside in a few minutes
-The animations are smooth but sometimes do this weird little jump back at last couple of frames, doesn't really bother me.
My battery life seems better than the CM9's I tried and the phone has been using deep sleep with CM10. That said, both 9 and 10 use noticeably more battery than CM7.
I also had issues with GPS on CM 9/10. I tried all the common fixes. Even going back to a blur-based ROM didn't fix it. Finally flashed my radio to 36P and now the GPS locks in seconds.
Jokersax CM10 JB 0.2 !!
Hi Guys,
I being a noob, installed Jokersax's CM10 JB 0.2 version yesterday. Had some nervous moments :fingers-crossed: when I soft bricked my phone. But finally recovered from that and could install JB. The following are my observations;
Working:
1) Camera
2) GPS
3) Google Now works. Awesome !! Very quick and to the point.
4) Music play back on phone speaker
5) DLNA works. Tested with Skifta and iMediashare
Not working: (Driver issues and app issues)
1) Chrome not working properly. When I zoom in, it crashes
2) Camcorder - recorded a short video snippet. But the file vanished from the gallery. Not able to find it or it did not record at all !!
3) Finger print
4) Stuttering slightly when moving from one desktop to another
5) No Webtop
6) XDA developer app
Will update this post when I do further tests
Thanks again to CM10 developers, Jokersax and to all those who have helped in getting this ROM to this level.
Why post this here? These issues are already well-known and documented.

Sorry nh777 and all. In the excitement of having JB, did not analyse the thread.
I'm very pleased with CM10 Epinter. The small bugs and video camera not bother me so much as to not use more CM10. Bring on the libs official logo.
Amazing rom and theming questions
I have installed CM10 on my Motorola Atrix from Emerson Pinter and found that it works amazingly. Some minor issues involving the camera, gps, and sometimes frame lags, but other than that, it seems to be a pretty stable build. Battery is amazing compared to most other roms. I get a 25 hour battery! Thanks EPinter! I just have one question and hope someone can help me, even though it doesn't exactly pertain to this topic. You know when you are at the lockscreen, you tap the lock and you can slide it to wither camera or unlock? Well, I was wondering if I could change the little dots in the background, maybe change the color or something along those lines. Does anyone have any information on that?
Thanks,
Luca

Wouldn't a different theme do that?
Sorry for reviving an old thread (I thought it would be better than not using the search function) but where can I get the latest version of cm10? I mostly need a functioning camera again which this jokersax ROM doesn't seem to have working.
I understand that Motorola has pretty much killed off any hope of a fully functional jb but I only want a working camera.

Framework-res.apk & Camera Issues
No. I have tried so many themes and none of them have made a difference. I forget where, but I read an article that the image was in framework-res.apk. Any help? On a side note, my camera on JellyBean has been REALLY bad. Is that a result of unofficial drivers? If anyone has a fix for any of these issues, please please please contact me!
Thanks.

Sorry, my bad, I only just realized the theming engine cannot theme the lockscreen. It's a known limitation of the engine.
You could always decompile your framework-res, find and change the relevant file, and then compile it back...
Audio over bluetooth (Epinter CM10 20121011)
Hi guys,
I wanted to post this in the dev thread but was not able to do so as I do not have the required minimum 10 posts.
I am using Epinter's CM10 Oct 11th version. I am having a small issue with it.
I am not getting audio over bluetooth. Does anyone else facing the same problem?
I tried to un-pair and re-pair, reboot etc. But nothing worked.
It would be great if any one can solve the issue.
Thanks,
Trying to get to 10 posts so sorry if already mentioned...
On Jokersax latest CM10 build and have a camera issue as well, no preview of what I am taking, it seems to take a picture as I can see thumbnail afterwards, but cannot view the thumbnail or change location for default directory... Only bug I found so far, less than 12 hours testing...
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.
Hi guys,
I've been searching for a fully stable flashable .zip for the JB 4.2 camera&gallery app with Photosphere. I have tried "4CamNex2.zip" & "4.2Camera_t04.zip" apps. The latter with slightly improved stability, (photosphere, panorama etc. working) however main issue/bug is: in standard photo taking mode, if you tap the screen to focus (or pre focus) and then take the picture, camera and gallery crash - Quite frustrating.
I've wiped cache&dalvik and re-flashed zip etc. (this helped as the first time I flashed the zip, photosphere was not working - solved by clearning cache & re-flashing)
Running:
Liquidsmooth v2.1 - 4.2.2
Siyah kernel 1.9.1
Thanks for any input!
Questions Welcomed also
UPDATE:
The crashing only occurs when the flash comes on. Forcing flash off or when there is enough ambient light you can pre-focus on a spot then take the pic.
I think currently there is no camera stable for 4.2.
I'm very interested in this as well (who wouldn't be?). I wonder if anyone is even working on it, and where we could perhaps track the progress. I don't see anything in the log tracker but I could have missed it.

when Cm10.1 nightly builds reach stable stage youll be able to use this camera with photosphere normally, now its just expérimental..
Sent from my Supercharged V12 Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk
they never will. CM said it will be stable only if Samsung release the sources, which will not happen
how to i delete this...
you have a completely different device
Dont know why but jb+ camera works perfect on aosp roms. No touch to focus issues, front camera working perfect.Only persisting issue is that sometimes sound on recorded videos is very low. After hundreds of hours testing and trying to reproduce the bug i thing it is related to notifications or sound volume adjusting. For example:when i recieve some notification immediately after booting my phone and then i want to grab some video-recorded sound is too low..... Can someone tell me if its kernel, rom or what? Why touch to focus works perfectly on jb+ camera without samsung exynos4 sources but this bug is still present. I just cant sleep.......

Sorry, wasn't paying attention.
Can anyone provide a download link to the standard jellybean (4.2.+) camera apk/zip?
I did find this camera worked quite well (stock samsung one that is), with the exception of no photosphere (which is only really usefully for showing off to be honest)

They're not stable yet. ie. you can expect random reboots for no apparent reason at all. On the other hand I can confirm that almost everything is working on all roms. I am on CM12 and am loving its neat UI.
Yup just as jnx_r said expect random stuff to occur because the roms aren't quite there yet. At least 95% functionality with a side of randomness. The UI is something to behold and is really fluid. While I ran it, I had little lag and no random reboots, except when I forgot to charge the phone and let the battery almost die; that sent the phone into a crazy bootloop. But, don't be afraid to try it out on your own, just make sure you read and understand before flashing. And ALWAYS make a nandroid. You should always have an escape plan to fall back on in case crap hits the fan.
What about stuff like camera, Facebook video upload and Snapchat video recording? I've been on Cm11 for many months and always have issues with the camera, facebook video uploads hanging and snapchat video recording not working.

Cant answer about facebook upload or snapchat because i dont use them sorry, but as for the camera, on archi's cm12 rom the stock one doesnt work without a fix so its recommended to use google camera but even then when i used it after 2 days that stopped working for me.
