Like the title says.
I use my camera alot. I flashed mevordels CM10 and loved it but the camera issues were the deal breaker. Im back to stock with updated kernel.
Some ideas would be appreciated.

Hi
CM7 is working great on my girlfriends Infuse.
She is complaining about shutter lag on the CM7 Camera.
I have played with the focus settings a bunch, no luck.
So I was wondering about a fix for lag or maybe a moded stock camera that would run on the CM7s different framework.
Thanks for any insight!
For Infuse 4g does anyone know a ICS or preferable 4.1.2 Jelly Bean rom with working video camera (still photos are fine video capture is the issue). I have tried numerous Cyanogen, Paranoid Android, Liquid Smooth, roms for Jelly 4.1.2 and 4.2.2.
Always go back to Paranoid Android 4.1.2 pa_infuse4g-2.53-04NOV2012-152548 . Camera is fine but video capture is glitchy. Same for all the other roms I tried. Only other problem with the rom is that Wifi will stop working but a quick toggle will get it back. Otherwise smooth sailing.
All the 4.2.2 roms I have tried have been extremely buggy and laggy. I was wondering if there was a rom I overlooked running ICS or 4.1.2 that had working video. I put the video camera down to 480p like I was told on a couple of forums and it still crashes if you point it at a bright light.
If no modern roms have a working video camera, what rom should I be following that may resolve this issue. A dev that works primarily on stability vs adding features I can probably download from the app store or find a hack for on XDA. This is for my sister that likes to complain so it has to be stable. I really don't want any features just a modern non Gingerbread rom with a working video camera / and stills (she needs ICS VPN or later for work).
Thanks for any pointers in the right direction.
The video is as good as its gonna get for now for us. We don't have access to the correct drivers and code to get the video working 100% on ICS and jb. I am sure that one day one of the devs will crack it but I wouldn't hold my breath. Best thing is just do what you did and drop down in resolution and hope for the best. I've been having great luck with beanstalk, and Scott is an extreamly active dev working hard to make the ROM run smooth as well as add features. And if a feature hurts the stability he removed it.

You might try videocam illusion in playstore
Works fine in mine

The kernel in jt's cm9 rom over at rootzwiki allows for perfect 720p video recording.
It can be flashed over entropy's cm9 builds using sgs kernel flasher. WiFi doesn't work and perhaps other things as well...

That's interesting, was never aware Jr had once had working 720p...maybe someone could compare that kernel to the current cm9 kernel...and than try and port that fix to jb...

any luck for 720p recording in JB Rom?
There are two very fast and smooth ROMs for JB, Scott's Beanstalk and Andros11's Vanila rootbox for infuse, but unfortunatly video recording for 720P is still the issue, i am hoping some day some one will find the solution for it, Too much hope on our champ- Scott.
any luck tilll now >?
videocam illusion is not the solution, stock camera is much better than the app, its not snapy as 720p recording ,but its not looks good at all.

Hello! I know I probably should post this in the dev thread for my ROM, but I mostly lurk here so I don't have enough post count to be granted posting privilege in dev forums yet... x_x
Anyway, I am running Slim Bean 4.3 on a Samsung Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile model, T-989 AKA Hercules). The ROM works great for the most part, but I am having some issues with the camera.
First off the camera app that came bundled with Slim Bean seems to be a modified version of the stock Android 4.3 app, and had the PhotoSphere mode removed... I uninstalled it using Titanium Backup and then installed the stock 4.3 camera app, and now PhotoSphere is working, which is great. But that wasn't the main issue...
The main issue is that in both the camera app that came with Slim Bean, as well as the stock Android 4.3 camera app, the photos I take from Panorama and PhotoSphere modes come out extremely blurry. It's almost as if these two modes have absolutely no control over the camera's focal settings.
Strangely, this issue does NOT affect the standard photo mode (thankfully), so everyday photos aren't affected. But as it stands, I pretty much cannot take photos using the Panorama or PhotoSphere modes.
I was just wondering if this issue is device-specific? Or have other people on non-4.3-supported devices who flashed a custom 4.3 ROM also experienced this issue?
Thanks in advance for your answers!

Thanks for the reply ^_^
I just flashed back to 4.2 (CM 10.1) but it looks like the camera is still blurry in panorama mode... I don't see this on the known issues list for CM though. Does anyone know if this is a known issue for this specific device?

i remember flashing cm 4.2 back i think a year ago when 4.2 came out and the camera had some bugs still, i would recommend using a downloaded camera app that normally works.

I'm having the exact same problem with CM 4.1.2 and 4.1.3. Looks like it just gets stuck on the minimimum focus distance.
Just moved over to this last week and I had a couple questions.
I really liked the feature from sense camera to take a picture while shooting video. Supposedly google's camera does this for some phones. But I can't seem to get it to work for CM11 HTC One S. Anyone have a work around for that? Or has anyone got that to work?
It also doesn't have FM radio anymore. What does everyone else use for FM radio if they even use it? I saw the Spirit fm radio in play store. Has anyone had any success in getting that to work on this ROM?
Lastly, since there's no wifi-calling in it either, what do you guys use for a replacement for that? I saw google just took down 3rd party tie ins to voice, so maybe just try out google voice?
Thanks for any help. Much appreciated.
Maybe you can try some of the newer sense ROMs? Why not try Maximus HD? It's supposed to be as bug free as possible.
Good camera on $Droids$, Deviant Xone Kk 4.4.4 .
Yea, I might switch to one of the sense ROMs. Getting kind of excited about bilal's new sense 6 rom. Thanks for the ROM suggestions.
Right now I am running CandyKat. Although it is not sense based, it's a great ROM!!!! Fast and smooth. Running version 1.5.0.
Hi guys, I'm writing in the name of my girlfriend: she has got this phone and, after we have flashed a cm rom, the camera sucks. I know camera is usually better in stock rom but this time the difference is abysmal! The problem is: she doesn't want to downgrade to stock rom (stock rom presents the SoD and ridiculous battery performance) but she would a better camera. I suggested open camera, a better camera and other ones but photos quality is still really poor. I think the real problem is the rom. Is there any mode porting stock camera (libraries, I think) to cm roms? Thanks for your attention

Stock rom's camera works only on TouchWiz roms...so it won't work on AOSP based roms

In galaxy grand duos thread have some mods for camera that improve camera quality in my opinion
