[Q]Camera causes reboots - HTC Sensation

Hey guys. i´ve been on ViperS a while and I really like it. Except that taking pictures/videos doesn´t work on V. 1.4.1. I read somewhere that this has to do with the libs used to enable HDMI(if that´s wrong I´m sorry, not a dev).
Then I tried the new Elegancia Sense 4.1 3.0 Rom. Taking pictures works here but when flash is used the phone turns off and the photo wasn´t taken.
Are these 2 cases rom mistakes or is something broken?
Thanks in advance.

Not sure about those roms but camera both front facing and regular are working perfectly with the new pac man rom. I can confirm this. You should give this rom a try. It's fast, smooth as silk and has a great battery life. It's probably something in there roms causing the f.C. but if you download pac man and the camera doesn't work, then likely it's your device causing the problem. I confirm that the camera IS working on this rom. Do some experiencing and download pac man and see if it's working. If it doesn't work then you know it's a problem with your device. Hope this helps and best wishes!

No I have been using Viper for a long time and camera works great. It has nothing to do with the libs. The lagfix has nothing to do with camera, it just makes the phobe a bit smoother, but no hdmi. Also Elegancia's camera works well, I have tried it in the previous release.
So either you have installed smth that interferes with camera app (I highly suggest you make a fresh install of the rom), or you don't have the right firmware (firmware 3.33 is suggested in both), or your hardware is broken (camera itself doesn't work).
You can also try different roms and see if problem persists.
P.S if you are refering to continous shooting, than it's a known problem and it can't be fixed because our hardware isn't compatible. The solution is to turn continous shooting off in camera app

Best application for your camera

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask you experts what the best application for an alternative camera that records video in 1080p
I use ARHD 4.1.3 with the Amaze camera. It's awesome, but keep in mind that it only works with Sense 3.5 and the stock Android 2.3.5 kernel. Others use the camera mod by ErosizeD or the MIUI camera. Try them all out and see which one you like best.
Yep, Amaze camera is the way to go!
The problem is that I do not think so CyanogenMod is compatible

Correct. As I said in my post above, the Amaze camera only works with Sense 3.5 ROMs and you have to use the stock Android 2.3.5 kernel. Most of the 3.5 ROMs come with a different kernel than stock, so download and flash the proper one after flashing the ROM. There are quite a few Sense 3.5 ROMs out there, so flash away and see what you like. Just remember to ALWAYS DO A BACKUP BEFORE YOU FLASH ANYTHING.

Keep throwing suggestions out there guys. This guy wants something workable that will work on CM7. Let's stop talking about how great the Amaze camera is and how he should stick to Sense because of it, and give him a real suggestion.
Just tried out a bunch of the cameras off the market. Seems like I'm gonna be stuck on Sense for a while lol. Viginette, Camera 360 left an impression, the others were horrible.

First things first. Never once did I say anything even close to "he should stick to Sense because of the Amaze camera." Don't put words in my mouth. He seemed a bit confused about the fact that it only works with Sense, hence why I clarified further.
Second, I mentioned that both ErosizeD and MIUI have cameras if you would have read more carefully. MIUI camera works on CM7, and there is a version of ErosizeD's mod in the works for AOSP ROMs.
Last I checked, those are both "real suggestions."
Just because you don't use Sense, it doesn't mean that nobody does. While you may run CM7 exclusively, other people may be willing to try out different ROMs, including Sense ROMs. Personally, I'm a CyanogenMod guy. I have been since my G1. I'm simply trying out different ROMs and stuff until a stable build is released. The Amaze camera is fantastic. I would even say it's worth flashing a Sense 3.5 ROM to see for yourself.
To the OP: These 3 options are pretty much the only ones out there right now that I know of. If you want more information, search the forums and see what you can come up with.
I did not understand much, there's something that works on cyano

laggy camera CM7.1 Desire S

I did full wipe and flashed the latest CM7.1, I kinda like this rom but my camera is so laggy only when I use paper camera app it works fine, I tried other camera apps they are laggy too, any advice?
any advice
I have the same issue on CM7.1 ROM. When I run camera app the picture is viewed frame-by-frame per 1,2 second instead of stepless.
On the stock HTC ROM camera works excellent.
Does anybody have this issue? Where can I ask support?
Seems like it is a hardware issue with the desire S. HTC seems to have released a new hardware for the camera which isn't supported by the CM7 kernel yet (as of CM 7.1).
So your best option is to find a custom stock-based rom (sense 3.5), with a lot of the sense things removed for now.
Unfortunately we'll have to wait until either HTC releases the drivers (miniscule chance), someone fixes it in CM 7.2, or someone fixes the ICS camera problems.

Are you sure about that? I thought it was because HTC app is more optimized..

Unfortunately the problem isn't fixed in CM7.2 rc1 either... and apparently we're not alone as users of Incredible S are also getting camera lag.
I've done some forum trawling on CM and xda, and it seems that the complaint summary is:
1. Users of CM7-based kernel roms are affected (stock-derived sense roms don't seem to have this problem).
2. The Camera works, but live preview appears to be broken.
3. When you first turn on the camera app, it works for a brief second, then it freezes.
4. Touching the on-screen buttons appears to temporarily fix live preview, but if you let go, it freezes again.
Issue is explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397883
Other users also seem to complain of video playback lag (though I haven't tested this myself...)
So, I'm guessing the problem is a Camera harware vs. driver vs. kernel incompatibility with CM7?
And apparently we can't flash HTC sense-based cameras on CM7...
Mine Works alryt... bit laggy compared to stock sense, But not so bad.

Lucky... apparently users have been complaining that phones after october 2011 seem to be having problems, if you got your DS before then you should be fine.

[Q] Face2unlock

Hello again,
i am just browsing through all the roms available, do you know if/which ICS roms got face2unlock?? I really like to test its functionality!
thx in advance
Most of the AOSP ICS ROMs will have it. So CM9, AOKP etc.
It's not present in the Sense ROMs yet.

Sense 3.6 ICS roms have it. I've tried Virtuous Saga and Ice Eclipse and both of them have it working.
I found out that BlindICE also has it! Great rom btw. Thanks for the answer, all in all faceunlock couldn't satisfy me... To slow for daily use in my opinion.
Actually I've used it on a Galaxy S2 and the response is instant. I just hope it's a matter of the correct kernel rather than processing power
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2
Ive also seen on the S2.. its really fast on the samsung, on the desire s it sometimes takes pretty long until the camera picture is showing, leaving me waiting a few seconds with a black picture instead of the camera picture in lockscreen. So for me, its not usable.
I think its because of the kernel, because it just takes long to activate the camera as it seems

Miui camcorder problem... help wanted

Hey guys, first off I want to apologize if this is wrong area for this or if this has already been posted, but yes I have looked and haven't found anything about it.... so I have a HTC One S running the latest MIUI.... the problem is, I go to the default camera, switch it over to video recording, and it'll take the video just fine.... problem is when you go to play it or even preview it, it has a ton of lines through it, it's blurry, you see triple of everything, etc....same thing if you plug it into computer and play the vid.n help is greatly appreciated guys!
Are you on the cm9 base or the Sense base? I know the cm9 one was having camera/camcorder problems.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
I believe CM9 base? I ran cm9 before and I froze the HTC sense **** lol. Not positive though, I can check if needed but I'll need to know how xD I'm still a little new to messing with Android.
There is no fix for this yet on roms that are not sense based, due to HTC using a special undocumented imaging chip for the camera in one S. If/when it is fixed I guess it'll come to miui quick.

Jellybean (CM/AOKP/Virtuous) Maps/Photoshpere Bug (Report Here)

Hello,
I have the following problem:
I experience visual artifacts when using two-finger rotate in Google Maps, also Photoshpere is really acting up... the images flicker...
Not all devices have it, as a matter of fact there are few of them (reported). Let's try to collect as much data as we can in order to find the cause of this and maybe a fix. I'll start.
HTC One S
Color: Gradient Blue
HBOOT:1.14.0002
Radio:1.06es.50.02.31
Jun 11 2012, 14:36:28
It's recommended to attach a logcat with the problem.
The problem allways happen when try to rotate Gmaps with two fingers, and photoshpere gets crazy especially after taking 1st photo.
It seems like an accelerometer problem, but accelerometer utilities seems to report the sensors working fine, so maybe a GPU driver problem.
C'mon guys, let's get this fixed
For the flicker have you tried changing debug.composition.type=dyn to debug.composition.type=gpu? I also had the same issue with that camera but only tried it when it come out, have you tried other packs that have it?

I've tried many packs... i will try those and report back. The thing that scares me is that this happens on Virtuous Rom also (which is almost stock build with HTC jb libs), and this may mean that i will never have fully working jb not either from HTC.

Keep in mind the camera is for 4.2, not 4.1, and I doubt we'd ever get stock camera on official Sense.

ok, that's not a problem, i can live without photoshpere, but the fact is Google Maps also have this problem and I need GMaps...
I know that at least 3 others reported this problem (and i'm sure that are many others who didn't test for it) I wonder where are they now...
I started this thread hoping that if other users reported it, the devs would try to solve this, but i think i'll just have to wait for HTC to give us JB and see if i still have the problem (but I am really concerned that I might have it). What's wrong with this One series? so many bugs (and not minor): cases chipping, helicoptering bug, sound issues, performance issues (one x), this problem....
I reported in another thread that I have this problem and I do, when using photosphere, I've seen it, although if I keep my movements nice and slow and steady, it seems to hold together.
I haven't seen any problem in Google Maps though, what happens to you in there?
Cheers

when i rotate the map with two fingers i get visual artifacts
I have the same problem on photospere, on maps I have no graphical problems, but the magnet sensor seams to change it's direction sometimes. Had this on CM10, and now on 4.1 Sense+.
Edit: I mean I have the orientation problem on photosphere. My screen does not flicker.
I have this same exact problem with an HTC One XL. I have not found a fix for it.
I've tried flashing every flavor of jellybean there is. It oddly seems to not happen if I use a sense version of jellybean. But I hate sense and want vanilla android.
AOKP, AOSP, modded, unmodded, doesn't matter. I get this annoying graphics glitch when I try to scroll around using maps or photosphere.
I hope it's not purely hardware related, and that there's an easy software fix for it.
