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.

Well,
i tried to see if the jellybean could somehow run, and currently it seems to run just as the ICS port that chaos did.
im still struggling with the bluetooth on it, but basically it seems to work, i still am not sure its h/w/egl accelerated.
but it runs, but looks pretty much like our ICS build with pretty much the same flaws and problems, except it using framework from 4.1.1.
im testing gps and other part the next days and might upload but cannot promise continued work on it, since our kernel is still the primary reason for missing camera and proper app switching and performance tweaks of kernel 3.x.
btw, it was based based on desireHD+tf201 builds. libs of DHD and framework from tf201 (got AdvancedPowerMenu builtin)
got problems with 160 as density, then its still with mobile view, 120 works, but very small.
Hi any news on development with port on one v ?
Is that his would be more functional to have a port with the htc ville C2? with HTC Sense
Thx for trying Dexter. How r the odds to improve the port? Same as XXL port?

well,
it goes forward. wifi,gps,compass,sound,vibrator,accelerometer,light sensor ..works..
camera,bluetooth and a fuzzy touch display when scrolling(as seen in other ics port)
I think the mobile view your seeing is the new 7 inch tablet mode. Basically the ui and launcher all look like a phone, while all the apps run in tablet view. I'm mixed on it myself, would be ok with it if the launcher worked in tablet mode. Good job nonetheless and good luck!

For me scrolling issue is the most annoying. It doesn't let us feel the fluidity of ICS and JB. And, fluidity is the USP of these higher versions. Though I use camera often also, but fluid scrolling is must for me. And, this is our main reason why we want ics on our device.

agree, and that is part of the onexxl rom, but sorry, i do not see it here and display drivers are not compatible.
but important is also that drivers are not native for this device, i might be in better luck porting a OneV rom, when its official.
i tried parts of the nexus one where possible, and still not much improved here.
camera i live without, i got a mobile + real camera beside this one.
So I guess Drew will not release his "build" because you have one now?

well, i am trying to port kernel changes to this rom, since chaos kernel compile, disables touch display for me, so im trying to see if i can get better performance on it with chaos work here, but unlike others, i cannot promise it works out. i am just trying for the fun.
i move from the tf201/dhd release to the official ota from nexus , so its odex'd for now, but does boot faster
okay,
i spend quite some time on it, and still no real progress.
media player is not using hardware decoding. and seems unstable when playing games.
i thought i had netflix working, but only upto playing a movie, and it went playing without picture
so for now, i am gonna rest on this work. it looked ok, but i do not accept all the bad flaws of it.
ill post an update, if i continue to look at it. for now i'm back at OneXXL
i decided to upload my work, with the recent changes done. you will find it online soon through this thread here
I've got a US Galaxy Player 5.0, and it's my daily driver. I mostly use it as a PDA (got it to replace a really aging Palm...), but love playing games on it, using it as a camera, and browsing the web as well. I saw a Nexus 7 today, and realized I want a performance upgrade for my Player, but I don't know what ROMs are in what state. I know some have certain bugs, others don't, and I want to make an informed decision based on what other people have tried.
I think I want to try something like a stock 4.0/4.1, but I could be open to customized versions as well.
I've looked a bit at EtheralRom 2.4, but being a noob I can't post there to ask questions. I know I've seen some other ROM's in previous visits to the site, and I've always started my search with the All-In-One thread.
Absolute must-haves:
-Working Cameras
-Working GPS
-Working Bluetooth/Wifi
Don't care so much about:
-Audio quality/supported formats
I am also using my Player to debug an Android App I have on Play, so if there's anything I should know about that connection I'd appreciate it.
If you absolutely need the camera then no ICS for you, it is currently work in progress.

If the cameras is a must-have, then the ICS roms isn't for you. Also etheral is a rom for the SGP 4.0 and not the 5.0. As for ADB, (debugging) it is working normally.
Ok, good to know. Are there any ideas on when cameras might get integrated into the ICS builds?
If I give up on ICS, what gingerbread ROM would give the most noticeable performance boost?
Chip 1.5 rom

I don't have any idea of when this could be integrated (it involves quite a long programming port). As for the roms, I don't know as I don't own a 5.0 but people says that chip is one of the best GB roms available for the moment.
Chip Rom ..ADW launcher Ex and its flying try screens and menus faster then GS3..on mine international is perfect but read that on US could have few bugs ..maybe one with US could tell you.
Hi,
I am soon getting EVO LTE and have a doubt. I read somewhere that sense camera is much better than the AOSP camera due to the fact that sense camera is tied to some proprietary firmware.
Is it true?

yes because aosp use different drivers and is more like generic stuff.
think of it like a video card running on windows drivers vs from nvidia or amd.
the camera driver on sense controls the built in hardware isp chip. i believe htc calls it ImageChip
you could find more info about it on this link
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5779/htc-one-x-for-att-review/5
Ok. Read in full. That means that to fully utilise the camera hardware, it's better to be on sense based ROM like mean.
That was really quick help.
Thanks

For the time being sense is better, the aosp camera is coming along slowly. I think the cm10 devs were able to port most of the libs over. Image sense is a bit of a gimmick, the phone isn't taking those beautiful pictures, the chip is cleaning them up. The image sense chip basically denoises and adjusts overall color and what you get is the end result not the original picture.
Is it the quality that is different? I was literally about to post the exact same thread - I'm going on vacation next week and really want to take advantage of the camera, considering I'm using ParanoidAndroid right now. I may switch back to MeanRom in order to use the camera, though.
Good Thread!
I would stick to sense for the time being, it still has way more features the aosp camera

True, the Sense camera has more features but I've been using the 4.2 camera port on my EVO and its awesome. Deck even is starting to include it on his CM10 ROM as of 11/4 so need for extra flashing.
i was with a friend today at a coffee shop. He had a nexus 4 (stock) and i had my s3 with cm10.1. i have 200 apps installed on my phone at the moment, and i also run swipepad, a LWP and Fps meter. we had a speed test between both phones, out come? my s3 with CM10.1 (stock kernel just updated) raped the nexus 4!
here are the tests we did:
apps:
phone dialer
play store
email camera
messaging
facebook
twitter
chrome
dead trigger
youtube
currents
appy geek
whatsapp
kik
earth
clock
gallery
other tests
Boot time
3G speed
here is the out come:
apps:
phone dialer: Nexus 4
play store: nexus 4
email: s3
camera: s3
messaging:s3
facebook: nexus 4
twitter: s3
chrome: nexus 4
dead trigger: s3
youtube: nexus 4
currents: s3
appy geek: s3
whatsapp: s3
kik: s3
earth: s3
clock: s3
gallery: nexus 4
other tests
Boot time: nexus 4
3G speed: neuxs 4
as you see the results are all over the place. but the s3 won 11 to 8 WITHOUT ANY EXYNOS SOURCES. granted it would be great to have them cos the while the s3 beat the crap out of the nexus 4, the nexus 4 had MUCH smoother animations. the s3 had really jerky ones.
the cm team have done a AMAZING JOB! a truly amazing one without sources! i can't imagine how amazing cm10.1 would be with the sources
**don't go hating on me**
Yeah, imagine sources & documentation...

Don't get me wrong, I think cm is much better than stock Samsung roms.
I use a dual boot setup with cm and stock based rom.
Everything you wrote may be right but still there are some very basic reasons for me not to make a complete switch and leave stock behind:
1. Camera quality is still noticeably better on stock roms
2. Bluetooth is working much better on stock roms
3. Battery life is better on stock roms

yes, true. but again each rom, Sammy or AOSP has their own advantages! i still need to wait to dualboot cm10.1 and NULL_14 i need to update my sig.
I really want to go to a cm rom and stick to it forever but due to the lack of documentation i have to switch back everytime i set it up and get comfy with it.. Like the other day i wanted to take a quick video of my friends birthday party. But as soon as i pulled out my phone the camera crashed.. It's these little things that make me change back to stock..
If samsung did put out the proper documentation for Exynos or Exynos themself then imagine how awesome cm would be.. Till then i just can't make a permanent switch.. But i really do love the asop rom.. Oh well till they do release the sources i will keep using my nexsus 4 or my nexsus 7 tab..

yeah, i found that too. the Camera on ALL cm roms SUCK! but then again, stock is slower...... so since i don't use my cam often i am on cm10.1. if i did, i would be on the best rom for camera quality
Agreed..
The awkward moment when you open the camera app and it says "Camera cannot connect" then the shot is ruined.. Ahh fooze balls.
Ohh well its a small price we pay for being geeks

hell yeah! but my camera ALWAYS connects just the flash is buggy
So I have been tempted to flash CM10 for a long time but stock features like Multiwindow and Camera app by Samsung keep me from it.
So i wanted to ask if the quality if the pictures in CM10 was as good as stock S3 Camera app? And I saw there are bugs in cam such as touch 2 focus issues with enabled flashlight and recording effects broken. TV Out issue is also a con..
So is it worth using CM10? Why do you use it. I know some people love vanila android but other than that anything else?
Oh and which one do you prefer, 4.2 or 4.1, I assume both builds are stable enough for everyday use.

Guess I wont be flashing CM10.. why do people use it?
because they like its features and the AOSP look as well as the lack of bloat
Yeap, the camera in CM10 and 10.1 is worse.
But I still use it because I like the stock Android look. Next time I'll just buy a Nexus..
