Does anyone know of an app that will Use the HD2 camera, and possibly the led flash, to display a live magnified image on screen? Essentially turning the HD2 into a magnifying glass (possibly with light)?
Ive got a friend who is partially sighted and often uses a magnifying glass with a built in 'torch' light, to read print/text while out and about.... having an app that would do the same thing could prove very handy at times.
Anyone know of such a thing? Everytime I try searching I just get apps that magnify whatever is on the screen and cant magnify a live image from the camera.
Thanks in advance.
iam sorry for asking, but could using the zoom feature of camera with flash on...doesnot serve the purpose ?
Thanks for the suggestion... However I had already thought of this... The main problem being that my flash will not light until I take a picture.
Previously my flash would stay lit during preview if the flash ON option was selected.... but this is no longer the case (possibly since flashing to EnergyRom).
Plus having a dedicated app would be more convenient.
Cheers for the suggestion though :thumbup:

Put it in video mode and you can force the flash on or use torch button and leave it running when you start the camera up.
yes, you can use the torch application and keep it on while you use your camera
The LED turns off if the Torch app (Flashlight) is not the active application.
You can do what optiknervz suggested which is use the Video mode and then turn on the flash, unless of course you want a still photograph of whatever it is that you are trying to zoom into.

yea cos flashlight is no match for torch button.
yes ..use the torch button, not the flashlight app..........i can use my torch even by clicking my quicklink and it stays on even while i use any other app and only gets switched off once i disable it by pressing the quicklink again.
Alright, so I've had my galaxy s2 for about 2 weeks and it worked perfectly, I've shot some really beautiful photos, but now suddenly it wont autofocus anymore.
What I already tried:
-reset cam settings to default
-do multiple factory / hard resets
-return to the default stock rom
Nothing works... The focus is stuck at about 20-30 cm from the phone, i've tried all the focus modes, maybe it was stuck on macro, but I didn't manage to solve the problem....
Could anyone help me out please? I'll try everything to avoid getting it changed since I'd have to buy a Jig from ebay first to reset the custom rom counter...
Bump! I really need to fix this problem guys!
Right one thing you could try is reflashing your camera firmware.
first type *#34971539# then the first option in the menu press that and see what your camera firmware is.
Next goto here
http://www.4shared.com/file/uMStvHzj/fw_camera.html
download this and look for the camera firmware that matches yours.
next when you find the one that matches your camera firmware put it on your internal sd, type *#34971539# & i think it's the second option hit that and wait for 3 mins for it to flash don't mess with ya phone while it updating.
if that fails to sort it then it looks like it a jig and a return to samsung.
i had similar bug with my camera, sometimes it wouldn't focus at all, until i tweak the settings of the camera even thou it didn't helped most of the time
but this did solve my problem, thank you
I dont want to start a new thread so i`m gonna write here sine it's related.
How can i get the SGS2 camera to take photos only when the autofocus square is green?
Or to make the camera app actually focus alone without me pressing on the screen to focus? I have stock camera app, no mods or tweaks.
Hi guys, i`ve installed the CM 9 last week and this is working fine, but wen i take a picture my camera doeseng get automatically focus, i have to touch the screen on the place i wat to focus before taking pictures....is there any configuration where i can put my automatic focus back?
This is important to me because i use my camere alot, and touching the screen is a little annoying.
Other problem is the panoramic camera that doesen`t work, i have the image on my screen, but when i start taking the picture it says I`m very fast, and then whe i get slow my picture is very, very short.
I would be very thankfull about some help.

I didnt find anything about this on the forum.....
Hi everyone,
I hope this is the right forum, this is my first thread
I am having a problem with ANY AOSP rom I ve installed, no matter wich kernel I try with the rom. When taking a picture with flash in auto mode or ON mode, the phone shuts off and I ve to pull out my battery to reboot. It happens 8/10 times. With flash OFF it works OK
I ve reading lots of threads of people with similar problem even in different devices (nexus, etc). The weird thing is that in tw rom (wanamlite) or any stock sammy rom, the camera and flash works flawless.
I ve tried almost everything. I really want to switch to CM or PA with Halo and this is backing me down.
I ve read in other threads that sometimes is has something to be with the battery but I ve tried 3 different batteries, 2 original and a chinese one, tried taking pictures with battery full, battery low.. and still shutting off on AOSP and flawless on touchwiz.
I ve tried every single camera app in the store. All shutting off my phone in AOSP and working in touchwiz.
however I discovered that with the flash in TORCH MODE (allways on) I can take pictures without any problem. Tasker has an option to take pictures and set the flash to torch and this is what I am using. However, its anoying to use this workaround because with tasker I cannot see what I am taking photo at. And with a camera app that supports torch mode, the flash is allways on, not only when press the take photo button.
I am trying to make tasker turn flash on, press take picture button, and turn flash off, so I can create a scene over the camera app button to make tasker run this task (or use overlays to make a floating widget)
I managed to find the tasker way to press the take photo buton (input keyeven 27), and I tried to use tasker and TESLAflashlight to turn on and off the flash before an after the picture, but teslaled doesnt work while the camera is in use by the camera app.
However, if I use the system widget to toogle flashlight or the flashlight app that comes with CM, the flash on and off switch works while the camera is open!
The problem is that I cannot make tasker interact with the flashlight widget (it is not a shorcut so i cannot use autoshortcut)
Is there a shell command to run in terminal emulator that can turn on/off the flashlight while the camera app is in use? That would solve everything for me..
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, wonderfull comunity, and sorry for my bad english..

I am sorry. Didnt realize.. I will post in the correct forum next time.. can I move it to the correct forum or an admin will?
Yes I ve tried that mod, and also tried a port of the tw camera (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370869)
Same problem with both.
Also tried Camera zoom Fx, Camera 360, Pro HDR, Camera JB+, Camera MX, etc... also same problem..

All those camera's that you also tried, just use the existing software and libraries so if your main cam was not working, they definitely wouldn't either.
The TW port isn't fully functional. You'd need to stay with AOSP cameras.
When you say every AOSP ROM you tried, could you name some? It might be a camera firmware issue. There is a thread about camera firmware somewhere.

I ve tried paranoid android 3.97, cyanogenmod 10.1 , temasek 4.2.2 and temasek 4.3, cdroid, and in each test I tried siyah kernel, googy max, and of course the kernels that comes with that roms by default..
I ve also tried the huawei camera..
I ve updated the camera firmware in the way this threads mentions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113526)
NOW MY FIRMWARE IS LIKE THIS
Phone/CAM FW Ver Check:
REAR CAMERA:
Cam FW VER: ZDFF03 / (I used to have ZDFE02)
Phone FW Ver: ZDFI02
FRONT CAMERA
CAM&PHONE: S5K6A3
The same problem of phone shutting off used to happened before I updated the firmware..
Really driving me nuts
EDIT:
Now I ve updated the firmware once again and now It is like this
Cam FW VER: ZDFI02
Phone FW Ver: ZDFI02
booted into temasek and the problem persist
:/

Nevermind bro, thank you for your kindness..
UPDATE:
I ve realized that the problem has place only when my battery is below 60%. I am thinking thas the problem has to be with battery/voltage/etc..
The weird thing is that I ve got 3 batteries and in all 3 of them happens the same. And stranger than that, is the fact that on touchwiz I can take pictures with flash even when 5% battery.(so its not a hardware problem)
Maybe AOSP roms have a different way of managing voltages. I ve tried to use steaks and reduce cpu/gpu voltages a little but it didnt help.
I will buy a new battery different to the original ones that i have and try again.
If someone is interested I share my workaround.
I use tasker and use "take picture" using torch mode (I made an scene over the shutter button of the aosp camera app so when I click on it tasker takes the picture). The problem here is that the pictures are stored in tasker folder, so sometimes it takes a while to appear in the gallery.
Or the other method I am using is the following. I used overlays to put a invisible widget toggle of the system flashlight on top left corner of aosp camera, and another invisible widget over the shutter button to trigger a tasker task. The tasker task consist of a couple of console lines that simulates myself touching the screen, so it simulates a touch that toggles de flashlight, then simulates a camera button press and then again simulates a click over the flashlight widget to turn it off.
I know this sucks, but is the only way so far
I ve managed to find a workaround with tasker only
su -c "echo 1 > /sys/class/camera/rear/rear_flash" (turn flash on)
input keyevent 27 (take photo)
su -c "echo 0 > /sys/class/camera/rear/rear_flash" (turn flash off)
The result is pretty the same that the camera flash on.. no blurry pictures, torch duration the same, etc.. so thats it for me..
I hope this can be usefull for people having the same problem.
I tried taking a picture at 30% with "A better camera" with flash and it worked on CM, but with the default camera app the phone goes black
This has been pestering me for quite a while now, at first it started below 20% battery, then 30% and now 50% ... I've ordered a new battery yesterday and I have it charging now, will know when its below 50% when it's any better.
Maybe it has to do with the camera firmware, but I doubt it.
Solved. Was the battery in my case. The 3 batterys. I think that messing around with charging voltaje in stweaks made my batterys gone bad. I ve ordered 3 chinese new batterys and now never shutsoff

Same here, bought a new battery and the problem is solved. Can snap a photo with flash at 2-3% battery left now.
Hello. I have Xperia Z with CM13 (6.0.1). I have broken 1/3 touch panel. I can launch Snapchat, but I cant add my friends, etc.. Is there any way to rotate it? Or scale for working part of display? Thanks in advice.
1. Any rotation programs won't work for me
have you tried Ultimate Rotation yet? If our phone's broken, i think hardware is the matter, nothing to do with app
