I installed the stock CM 10 ROM but having trouble with both camera [Video recording FC] and Gallery App [FC]. BTW other things are pretty good and neat. Great Signal and 3G/2G works like charm.
Can anyone please give a solution or link to the Good CM 10 based rom available out there which work good with both Camera and Gallery App?
Thanks
Video recording will force close if you put it on 1080p recording which is not functional at this point. (Let it stay at 720p or use defcomg's P1 Camera port 1080p works with it.)
Having a Video on the gallery causes the force close problems on battery power , which is being fixed by cyanogen team as we speak.
Camera causes freezing problems when on battery power on latest builds.
Latest build without this problem is 27 December 2012 release.
It's not on the cyanogen website anymore so , you would need to find it elsewhere. (By "elsewhere" , i mean i don't know.)
Any ROMs made with a build later than 27 December will have those problems.
Jellybam 3.2.0 is made with 25 december i think , so you could switch to that.
Hope i helped.
Cheers!
Thanks for your info, BTW as you say 'If I choose a newer version of CM ROM then it more likely the gallery issue have been solved, but if I switch to older version I would get rid of camera freeze but have to deal with gallery force close'? Is the defcomg's P1 camera port work without FC or freeze on newer versions???
Thanks Again

No , if you use newer versions than 27 december you will get force close problems in gallery and camera etc.
If you use 27 december version you will have no such problems.
Don't degrade with recovery without formatting though it transfers the problems to the old version.
Wipe Data and System then flash 27 december version and gapps again.
P1 camera will not force close unless you use a feature that needs huawei p1 camera framework.
As this is not a huawei P1 , you wouldn't have that framework.
So don't play around with it too much.
If it force closes go to settings , apps find the p1 camera and clear data. It should run again.
which rom is the best?
i installed Jellybam & OptimusRs.. they aren't pretty good... i'v not satisfied..!

hello. i have little problem with camera in miui rom, latest version. i just bought desire s so i flash from stock rom. this lag isn t only in miui camera but in camera fx too, so i think it is in all camera apps.any ideas?
Which kernel are you using? I used to find it pretty swift using the Tiamat kernel.
Settings > About Phone >
Should have something along the lines of Cyanogen or Tiamat, I'm guessing its Cyanogen, only because I know most of the AOSP ROMs use it.
2.6.35.14 cyanogenmod [email protected] *1
Try switching some settings off even, but if not, definitely try the tiamat kernel.
http://tiamat-dev.com/tiamat_saga/
i have disabled some graphic features, flashed that kernel but still lagging
Give Galnet a shot, with a combination of Tiamat.
http://galnetmiui.co.uk/landing/weekly-builds/
It was the one combination I ran on the Desire S flawlessly, and thoroughly enjoyed.
didnt help too. i read somewhere that this lagging is on some older desire s. very bad to shoot photos but possible, but making video is such a pain i love this rom so i will wait if some sollution appear later. thx anyway
edit: not old but new desire s could have this problem
No offence, but I wouldn't hold your breathe. The HTC Desire S probably won't get the attention it needs, as it doesn't really stand out from the crowd.
Awesome device, but over shadowed by many of the giants that are approaching.
I've never had any problems with the camera being slow on mine. But I don't know what you would consider appropriate. At the same time though, mine is currently an expensive alarm clock.
some new thoughts. it doesnt lag like about 1 second after start camera app. it doesnt lag neither when i set timer . for 5 counting seconds is camera smooth. it was also quite smooth when i opened camera and i received force close window about app Talk. so if it could work good at least in 5 seconds count there must be way how to make it works.
hi guys! Same problem. I bought the brand new Desire S. Make it S-off, root, 4ext recovery.
i flash the latest MIUI and the same problem here with camera and video playback!
i figured how it lags - when animation of ui is running - video playback is running to. When animation of ui elements stops - video playback (and camera playback) stops too!!! Try to touch the elements of user interface when camera stops!
It seems that in new models of desire video driver works differently.
I tried to flash all versions of stock roms - the problem was gone.
But with latest cyanogen kernel, all versions of tiamat kernel i got same problem!
It is only one custom kernel with this lags gone - it is UNITY_V9_2.6.35.14_OC2016_UV900_SLQB_CIFS_TUN_NOOP_EXT4_2WCR_VDD_SAGA3.zip
But with miui and this kernel wifi stops working normally and video playback to, but camera works great!
May be some specialists in this questions make differences in above kernels and differentiate the problem...
i am wery disappointed in this device because i cannot get normally working any custom roms! ( only stock... but stock sucks!! want MIUI!!
there are another guys with same problem: ht_p://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/37785-camera-bug/
P.S. Sorry for bad english, i teach it bad in my russian school
Yes, I have the same problem with a brand new DS. I reported this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20497676&postcount=559
and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20510357&postcount=562.
It is happening with CM7 and MIUI Roms, the latter obviously have CM7 core.
No solution known to me. Can't take Sense bloat anymore, but at least camera works fine.
Edit:
On top: I have just bricked the device (wrong EMMC, can't write system, data, cache, hboot)!
Maybe someone (as I bricked my DS) can have a look at the new CM7 build by Jorgen (can be found in the thread I linked above)? Should have implemented new! HTC kernel sources. The camera might work now.

other ideas?
It seems that this thread is more active so i write my thoughts here too....
The problem with the lagging camera is only on new HTC Desire S (i think), because i got my desire s a half year before and on this one it's working. With the new HTC Desire S of my girlfriend it isn't working.
So i found a alternative, for those who like to take some pictures and capture some videos. The first one is (pictures only) a free app called pudding camera, it has a nice UI and it's working. The second one is (pictures and videos) a paid app (2,50€ i think) called Angel Camera which allows you to take pictures and videos. Oh and to make high quality pictures you have to select fine shot or something like this.
The problem is, i don't think that the (only) problem is the camera driver because watching videos is also a pain. Try to watch for an example youtube videos they will bug as much as the camera preview. In a few other apps like daily ... workout the videos are lagging like hell too.
And like it was said before it's working if you keep some UI interaction up all the time. For example press menu all the time, you will see it's running fluently. The same is working in the camera app too.
Perhaps a problem with hardware acceleration? The drivers (can't) be the problem because third party apps are working without that lag?
I hope someone more experienced can join this thread.
Perhaps superkid or proxuser or mdeejay, ...
yeah. xD there are lots of very experienced guys in these forums.
Thx.
Hmmm. Apart from the fact that I managed to replace my bricked device and now own a DS whose camera thankfully works, my experience was totally different.
I certainly tried 3rd party camera apps: Vignette, Camera 360, Nemus Camera and Camera Zoom FX. None worked, all of them showed the uber-laggy preview.
So at that time I assumed the issue involves indeed a new driver, API or whatever, a deeper problem not to be solved by using a certain camera app.
@mikep1993: Would you please try one of the mentioned apps, if possible (there are free versions)? And, which CM version are you on?

I tried other apps but they are lagging as well, i found those two which won't lag. I can't tell anything more detailed but i know those too apps are working. Perhaps they are programmed a bit different or something like this, but yeah.
We are using Galnet MIUI 1.12.31 so the newest build. Like i said before it's working with ICS again. Had no change to try a MIUI ICS build but perhaps we are lucky.
Now what should I throw my phone!!!!!!!! why no one solves the problem!!! I do not want to sit on stock firmware. This problem 100% in kernel, let anyone else will this kernel.
Today there is a new CM7 version available in the dedicated Desire S thread here at xda. Some changes in camera are introduced. Might be worth checking.
all still. I hope they understand what the problem is not in the camera and problem in hardware video accelerator therefore, the lag in the camera
Hey guys i have installed the AOKP v9 Nightly By RHB ROMS custom JB rom on my Gfit.I have reviewed the ROM here
AOKP V9 Nightly By RHB ROMS Review.(GALAXY FIT GT S 5670)
I have installed the custom Rom by RHB roms on my Galaxy Fit last week.I used a lot of apps and games on it and also tried different settings to suit my self.I found that this ROM is very stable considering the other Roms which hang and reboot my phone frequently.
The Rom gives the amazing Android 4.1.2 OS UI and feel.It has many pros and quite a few Bugs.
Some bugs can be over comed by using alternate apps but some are really irritating .
Read the full post to see what bugs are involved and how i tried to cure them.
Pros:
1)Lots of Android 4 apps work smoothly.
2)Stable-Does not hang frequently.
3)Gives lots of settings to suit your liking.
4)Changes your UI completely with amazing JB styled status bar and toggles.
5)new widgets that would not work on GINGERBREAD.
6)Comes with a Preinstalled Music player called Walkman.(preety good)
7)The old screenshot shortcut (HOME+POWER) does'nt work BUt downt worry they have provided and onscreen shortcut for taking screenshots of your phone
GO to settings>Rom Control>Power Menu and Enable the Show Screenshot option.Then long press power buton and select screen shot for taking picture of your current screen.
8)Cool power off animation.
Cons:
1)Major fault-GOOGLE apps not working .I tried to install the Playstore app.But i could'nt use it because it did not open up.I thought it might be a problem with the package so i tried downloading from a different place but still the same thing.The next thing i tried was to go to the Google play website and download from there directly,that too didnt work.
Alternative: I had to depend on the 3rd party websites like The 1Mobile Market.or the 4Shared app to download apps and games.
Another Google app that i installed is Google maps.That worked but it showed me somewhere in the Indian ocean while i was sitting cozily in my bedroom in India.
2)Camera app : The preinstalled camera app is faulty.The video mode is extremely slow.I tried to Use a different camera application like the Camera 360 but that turned out to be faulty troo.
Finally the Pro capture application worked properly for still photos.
I could not find an alternate app for Video recording.
3)INTERNET ON/OFF-I had problem in enabling the internet connection directly from toggle.Every time i have to go to the settings and enable the data.SOme times this too did not work.Them i have to go to the Mobile networks settings and try searching for network.
(NOTE:This may be my carrier problem.)
4)Some minor app crashes.
5)Does'nt come with the navigation bar if you dont have root access.
Overall i liked the Rom .If the developer colud eliminate the above bugs it would be absolutely perfect.
6)Gallery takes time to update if pics are copied from pc to SD card.
7)SOme apps take time to start.
_________________________________________________________________________
EDIT 22/3/2012:
I am experiencing frequent reboots since i installed the n7music player and also astro file manager takes time to load.Some apps take time to load.The Cut the rope game also crashes and runs very slow.
I think i have to try another ROM
________________________________________________________________________
I have covered all the details pros and bugs of the ROM in the review.PLease have a look and tell me if anyone of you have tried that ROM and found a solution to the bugs.
Thanks in Advance.:laugh:
So far , and for me,( this is a personal evaluation) the best JB experience its con cm10.1 of erikcas, still have some memory issues so demanding apps wont run as usual or fc, camera works fine and also link2sd so no space problem, and it have gapps preinstalled so dont wipe data after install.
Sent from my GT-S5670 using xda app-developers app
Not bad
It worked pretty much fine for me other than the occasional reboot when i turn on/off my WiFi. Camera worked fine :good:
Waiting for a final release
So what is the most smooth, customisable, enjoyable,smart, beautiful rom for our beloved smartphone at this time?
Be argumentative if possible, thanks.

I think that [ROM][4.2.2][A9][Unofficial] LiquidSmooth-JB-v2.9 (26/08/13) is the best ROM for our device ,trust me i have tried all custom ROM's available for our device , and finally this is it ! Reasons ?
It is smooth , fast , and light ,when i stop all uselles app i have over 200 MB Ram , it is good for gaming , i play games like CSR Racing ,Need For Speed Most Wanted , Blood and Glory 2,,Asphalt 8 and ohers , Swap SD compatible , Halo , and the most important thing for me is so battery friendly ,as i said i use to play games ,a lot ! and i have never had less than 1 day , with gaming,some wifi and 30 mins of calls.
[ROM][4.2.2][A9] Resurrection Remix® v4.0.6 PA.AOKP.CM (23/08/13) it is another good rom for our device but it is not so good for gaming .
@CristianCRS This Rom seems even to me pretty cool...but: photos taken whit stock camera app cannot be saved in external sd. Do you know if this thing can be fixed in someways?
Thank you so much.
carbon rom
u should try out carbon rom :good:

Indeed i forgot about this ,for me it manifested in other way ,when i shoot a photo ,it takes a photo ,it saves it but i couldnt take another photo because the previous remained freezed on camera screen ,so i instaled titanium backup i unnistaled gallery ,and with this camera,and i installed a new one ,now i have snap camera with gallery because it have so much options ,but it will work any other camera app like Camera JB ,or Camera ICS, even Sphere Camera ,and Focal (great camera app but it seems that video recording is not working)
Thank you so much Cristian, I will try another camera app. Another issue: I have about 40 apps installed, most of them are greenyfied with geenify app. my free ram (even after cleaning all the apps running in background) is no more than 40-50 mb.

About this...until now i had no time to install so many apps like you ,usually i use just some strictly essential apps and games ,in total i think i have 23 apps and games installed ,i use swap sd ,and link sd ,i don't know if it will work for you ,but me after i use an app and i consider that i don't need it to run in backround ,i go to System Settings--> Apps---> and ALL tab ,i search the app ,click on it ,and then Force Close ,this methood i use on every process or program that is not neccesary to android system . And like this i have no problem with ram or unwanted battery drains.
Actually I'm using clean cm 10.1 alpha9 enhanched with TopDroid's Megaboost 1.4.
Greenyfied some apps and using SD Increase.
Not so customizable as other roms but, for now, the smoothest and faster ever.
Antutu 4 (last version) gave me 3959 as top score.
All apps working well
Free RAM always about 100/120 mb.
Battery with 3g alwys connected and medium phone usage lasts about 20hrs.
Cheers

Last night i decided to update to Clean CM 10.2 ,JB 4.3 ,and i think is the best ROM for now ! But the problem is that swap sd doesn't work ... for now ,maybe this will be fixed soon
Yeah, Ive upgraded to 10.2, too. Seems ok for now, just one issue: after replacing dsp and apollo with acid sounmod and walkman I noticed that walkman is not working. It gets open but doesn't play music files. Any solution? Maybe a walkman version for 4.3 is available? BTW great rom.
EDIT: reinstalled Apollo. I cannot find any walkman apk running on 4.3 for now.

I still not have 10 posts to reply on developer threads ,so How is working for you Focal Cam? especially video recording(for me is not working),and about walkman i don't use it so i can't help you ,sorry .
Focal crashed the first time I opened it, as like as the stock camera. At a second attempt they both worked well, so I'm gone for keeping the stock one and uninstalling focal. Dunno about video recording.
EDIT: at 480p is good, but at 720p it seems to watch a slideshow.

BLINDLY go for liquidsmooth by lolation.. best rom for our device till now..!! for camera issue you can try any other camera app instead. I found it better than carbon.

Hello,
I apologize if this topic has been covered in another thread. I looked and couldn't find the information that I wanted.
I am Stuck on TW roms because I can't get any of the Photosphere enabled cameras to be fully functional on any 4.3 AOSP roms.
I think I have tried them all. No matter the camera app/rom/kernel combination that I try, the camera always force closes or reboots my device when I use any of the front facing Camera/Video cam features. This is truely preventing me from using a 4.3 rom as a DD.
This may be a Noob question, even though I have been flashing roms since my Eris...but, why are there no ROM's that have a Photoshpere camera included? Why can I only get that camera as an .apk or flashable .zip? Confuses me.
For now, I am stuck on TW because I can have the Samsung Camera (which i love), and I can have a fully functional Photosphere camera and run them side by side.
If I could use the camera that comes with the 4.3 rom (for front facing camera & vid cam, i.e. hangouts) AND load the Photosphere cam, I would be happy, but one has to replace the other...unlesss there is a workaround I am not aware of.
Thanks!

You CAN get that camera as an APK - right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lery-camera-android-4-4-t2508471?goto=newpost
I'd post the link myself, but don't have enough priveliges to do so.
im using the photosphere camera on MOAR v8 from their Hub and im having zero issues with it.
Could someone post a link to the camera app from stock lollipop?
I'm on N915G. I don't know if that matters, or any camera app for the Samsung Note Edge will do.
I keep getting FC using the front facing camera and can't seem to fix it.
May be I will have to reinstall the stock rom instead of using the Thunderbolt v1.0 custom rom I am using, .
UPDATE:
I read that when customisation of some roms, certain deleted apps to debloat the ROM may cause such issues.
I just flashed stock ROM and now front camera is working again.
Just proves what others have said about FC of camera app when selecting front camera may have merit.
