What version of CM9 are your on? Anythiny lower than Alpha 6 will have camera issues. There are two types of cameras for the DS. So there needs to be two kinds of drivers. The fix was implemented in A6. A simple reboot will work. If not just power off and do a battery pull. Count to 10, and power on.

i'm on alpha6, but i've changed to stock rom for a bit. i want to mess with all the camera functions it does. by any chance do you know how to disable the auto-cap function? there isn't a box to check or uncheck it.

Please report bugs here. Do it only if you have Current Release, specified at the top. A bug will be added only if a 2nd user will confirm/reproduce the problem!
I wonder when does the next version come?
thanks for your list
Not everyone has the volume up button bug I certainly do not. Also not sure how the reboot to recovery option would work as we have a non standard custom recovery.

I just tried the leaked version of Google music 3 and it works perfectly with 5.1 so may be we can have this as default music player in the next release.
Edit: how about requests, thanks.

I'm hoping the final version or the next version can incorporate built-in codec like the Korean official froyo. If you have used Jboogie's Blur version that is based on Korean official froyo, it can play almost any type of video formats on the fly without using an app like v-player that relies on software codecs.
[2].DO NOT press Volume up when you are recording, because then your camera will freeze and force close and then you have to reboot

Just tried this out, but no freeze for me.
Another ToDo would be optimizing the battery management.
Stock Roms due its integration of motorola battery manager have a much better battery performance.

before the bootmenu we had a custom recovery that was called by an app, couldn't this call be made from the reboot menu?
so the bugs that i found
a.camera sound when boot (I got red lens)
b.720p playback don't work on portrait but landscape it's ok
c.I used VLC stream&convert to play my video from pc via defy. It took 12 seconds before the video appear. Normally,It takes 2-3 seconds on 3.4.2-177 or 3.4.3-11
The bugs on above i haven't found any except the microphone when speaker on.

When taking pictures with high contrast, for example outside with sun shining, the camera-app freezes sometimes and the preview looks weird. lock and unlock, and camera works again, but the previous taken picture is not beeing saved.
I can't tell if it's only for the green lense, but it is reproducable and in quarx' thread I saw a few guys having the same issues. I will search and quote them when I'm back home again.

okay, it's true...
i can reproduce your error when capturing something with high contrast (like a lamp, lcd monitor, or outdoor capturing)
@Quarx, i think stock /system/etc/mot_ise_imager_cfg.bin is just fine.. it's more stable.
less compressed image is not neccesary enough,
we need reliable camera for a nice moment to capture...
imagine you suddenly saw ufo / superman / weird moment in the sky,
you take a picture but your camera freeze..

Made a photo outside and i just got the upper lines with rest greyed or green. Doesn't save picture. Now inside house, i don't have this.
It seems to be on 5Mpix only. Change focus or auto-flash don't change anything.
Also afterwards options on the screen don't work and have to switch video and back.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Camera.apk (tested)

Just thought that I should share this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057653
It pretty much works.
I'm hoping that a dev such as Frooty would take a look at this and apply his modifications. There is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104051 but it doesn't work on the Infuse.
Edit: I just realized that it pretty much works ON Infused v2. I never tried it on other ROMs.
meh, it works ok. no flash though, i wonder if that could be fixed. i still have to see what mode actually work, on the captivate the modes above 5mp were actually saving in 3.2mp or something.
What ROM are you on Dani? Flash works, auto-flash doesn't on mine. 8mp works, I checked the resolution of the file and it's the correct resolution.
edit: turns out that anti-shake doesn't work with auto-flash. So you can have auto flash if you turn anti-shake off.

infused 2.0.0 stable.
I think the quickview app or lib messed up the flash, I couldn't even use the flash with a 3rd party flashlight app. I removed quickview and restored the infuaed camera app and the flash works again.
does the app work without quickview? i wonder why that app and lib are included in the .zip
I haven't tested without quickview. I have both the app and lib in my system.
odd, i wonder why it broke my flash and not yours?
Hmm i tried it and flash works even with anti shake for me... also i know its not meant for our devices so it should be glitchy/buggy, but is it only MY infuse? or your video is off-sync even on 720p, also 1080p recordind actually records it but the screen is black until you hit the record button?
It's auto flash that doesn't work with anti shake. Manual flash works. Also, 1080p records but the resulting file is in 720 p.
Its your audio off sync too? and im sure i cheked i got antishake and autoflash at same time and working :S idk

Camera bug with ICS?

I and a coworker who also has a transformer have experienced an issue with the camera. When changing from normal camera mode to panorama mode the camera fails to initiate and doesn't turn on. It's just a black screen.
Anyone else run into this same issue ? It happens vice versa also, from panorama to camera or to video.

Clearing the camera app's cache allowed me to actually use the camera again.
hope Asus (or devs) fix this, would really like to be able to use panorama mode
For the record, I flashed the rooted zip posted here.
It's fine for me. I used the Full CWM file along with a Format...not a wipe
Same issue here, stock unrooted, OTA update B50.

If the rest of the stuff works it's absolutely not worth it trying to fix it. The picture quality it makes is just crappy. Maybe it's the lighting or I am turning it too fast. This is how it looks like.
Same bug here.

CWM rooted ics.. wiped all
I never use the camera so happy to wait for fix from Asus..
think we need more detailed info to pin this down because i'm not having this issue with my tf. weird that several of you are.
Workaround Fix for Panorama Bug
The panorama camera bug is related to security>screen lock feature in ICS.
I did a full wipe to get the camera working and then I realized it only stopped working after I had set a pin on it.
Apparently if you set it as a pattern, pin, or password it will cause the panorama feature to lock up.
The only way to get it working is by setting your security>screen lock to "none" or "slide".

Wow, good diagnosis. I'll have to try that see if I can also replicate this fix. Unfortunately I need to use a pattern or some sort of lock code. Prying eyes lol. Oh well. I don't really use my tablet as a camera anyways. I just wanted to show off panorama to someone

confirmed.
I put a pattern and when switching to panorama the camera went black then crashed as I switched to normal.

I can confirm panorama worked after removing the PIN feature. I chose the security locksreeen option of None without issue. When I turned PIN back on, it was the same black screen. According to logcat, I didn't see much other than the camera activity being destroyed an activity pause timeout for the PanoramaActivity.
Such an odd thing to cause camera activity to cease. Why in the world is a lockscreen causing issues with switching camera modes? Oh well. Like I said. I can live with it, hopefully a fix is found and pushed to our devices

[Q] Skyrocket Camera not working properly (App is freezing/crashing)

I've been having camera issues with my Skyrocket for a while now. About 1/4 the times I start up my camera app, it will display what the camera is seeing, but none of the user interface is there. No option buttons, no focus rectangle - nothing. If I try to hit the back button, it lags out for a while and will usually (after 30+ seconds) tell me that the camera app is not responding. If I hit the Home button, it takes me back home, but opening the camera app again will still show the camera's view without the UI.
If I follow this guy's suggestion, it does work.
http://david.feinzeig.com/blog/2012...galaxy-s-ii-or-other-samsung-android-devices/
However, this process is tedious and time consuming, especially if this is happening 1/4 the times I use my camera. I use my camera a lot on my phone, and this has been a huge PITA. This might just be speculation on my part, but I don't recall having this issue before rooting my phone. I was hoping that by upgrading from Seanz ICS to [4.1.2] [UCLL3] Stock Debloat it would solve my problem, but unfortunately it hasn't.
Does anyone know of a more permanent way of preventing the camera app from crashing so frequently?
I just wanted to bump this one final time to see if anyone had any suggestions for me. I still have no clue why it's failing to boot the camera's UI sometimes, but it is extremely annoying and I would appreciate any help, suggestions, or even hypotheses at this point.

return to stock with odin and see if that cures it, wipe before and after returning to stock ics, if its still a prob then its hardware failure
edit: or an app that youre installing is interfering wth the camera, or sdcard issues
Download ICS Camera from the Play Store. Works great even when stock camera isn't. I don't know why.

[Q] Should Camera button switch to camera mode?

I'm new to this phone, Android, and CM11, so I'm not sure which of those three things are to blame...
I expected that when I push the camera button, the phone would switch to camera mode as it did on my previous phone (not a smartphone) but it doesn't appear to do anything at all. I can use the camera by opening the camera app, then the camera button does work to take photos so I know the button itself isn't broken.
Is this expected behavior, or does it work as I expected when the phone was stock? Is this possibly a bug in CM11 (I'm using 21OCT2014 nightly)? Is there a setting I can change to make the camera button switch to camera mode?
Nobody knows? I can try flashing my phone back to stock to see, but that means I'll have to learn how to backup first so it's not as easy as someone just answering...
I'm pretty sure on stock it launches the camera app properly.
I think the issue with CM is we share the device tree with many other devices (hence the moto_msm8960_jbbl name - it covers all the Moto's with that SoC and bootloader).
Someone was asking about that in the CM thread. I'll try to find the post - I meant to when I originally saw your thread and got distracted.
Thanks! I'll just cross my fingers a future CM will make it work, not a huge problem in the mean time.

Thanks again! I tried 4 November, and sure enough, it works. I have to hold in the camera button a second, (not just push it once), but it did indeed open camera app.

I believe this is by-design. You don't want to short press the camera button and have it always open the camera - as the press could have been a mistake. Long press ensures that is indeed the action you wanted.
Enjoy.
