Hi all.
I'm just wondering what do you think about JB 4.2 camera. I've noticed that all 4.2 cameras are laggy. Few days ago I've tested ICS with Sense camera and it was blazing fast!
Do you have any workarounds to use fast camera on 4.2 JB?
Cheers.
I was testing CM10 and 10.1 today and yes, they have much slower cameras than sense roms like sabsa prime 14 that i am testing now. I think it's all about drivers, however you can also try with different camera app.

Most JB 4.2 cameras are laggy when compared to Sense cameras....As in the above reply its said, It is may be due to driver...Also in some JB roms there is a slight issue with the images captured...A green/colourful line comes in the image...In some roms its fixed though..
I've looked for alternatives but both UCam and Camera360 were worse for me. Still looking for a decent third-party camera app.
Im having the same lag trouble on jellytime 4.2. I just installed Camera ZOOM FX app. In my opinion, its twice as fast as the stock one, and doesn't have any green/pink lines. It changes to stock for recording a video though, but its ok with me... It has built in image editor with lots of stuff. Hope i helped

I am wondering why all "senseless" 4.0.1/4.0.3 ROMs include the HTC camera instead of the AOSP one. Only exception being HyperNonSense v2.0 beta.
The camera included in HNS 2.0 is quite stable...it has no JPG compression and works just fine. Could it be tweaked to allow higher HD video bitrates and eventually get panorama mode running?
Any devs/cookers/modders actually willing to take some time and check it out?
PS - The camera itself as a separate APK i haven't found anywhere except as an addon (http://www.multiupload.com/OAFG3VSWSI) for webstar1's Ultimite 4.0.1 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406322)
I'm not too sure but there's more drivers and stuff as well as the apk.
Also I belive its linked to the HTC lock screen but I night be wrong? Plus I don't think the devs have have managed a pure AOSP port or build I think trip is closest until cm9 is released which I can't wait for but seems to be taking a long time due to the additions within ics ,
I have the ics stock cam on trips rom which is nearly pure AOSP but only camera works for pics I can't video record as its not 100% compatible but I'm not worried I love this rom its fast and pure with no sense

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.
I really want to switch to a 4.2.2 rom for the HOX, but two things have been holding me back:
* CM 10.1 (The one I am considering the most) is still unstable and seems to be at a standstill (though it's looking bright).
* The Sense Camera is not included in any 4.2 ROM (as far as I know)
The main feature I would miss is the slow motion recording. As far as I know there are no other (good) apps that can do this. The best I've seen was 'pseudo-slow-motion" where it looked like more frames were interpolated.
Other great features include fast continuous shooting, and taking pictures during videos (I have not looked into other apps for these features).
My questions are:
Is there any way to get the Sense Camera into a 4.2 Rom?
If not, are there any alternatives for the features I'm looking for (apps, different roms, etc)?
And any other advice you wish to give me!
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
My info if it helps: ATT HTC One X, Rooted, S-Off, Boot-loader Unlocked, CleanROM R2
And a side question (not a high priority): CleanROM is great, but I seem to be missing any HDMI out features, does that happen for anyone else?

This is absolutely wonderful! Thanks for the link!
Ease of use and (from what I can tell) picture quality is superior to the HOX camera app
However, it's missing the key features I want, slow motion video, and fast continuous shooting. Maybe I couldn't find these features, but they aren't in this app. I couldn't find any continuous shooting feature in fact, but I could be wrong. That's a big issue right there. I got used to being able to take up to 20 high speed shots just by holding down the shutter button. I wouldn't mind having a to change a setting every time though, but I can't find that setting if it exists.
Follow up questions:
Are there any modifications I could do to this app?
Am I just being plain dumb and can't find the continuous shooting?
Is there any way to extract the HOX camera app like this team did for the JB 4.2 camera?
Well I use viperxl Rom which is soo good and has that feature you looking for. With viperxl it is sense based but customiZation options are huge and dev is active daily. I think its up to 12 k posts . They are the best

No, there is no practical way to get the Sense camera on an AOSP ROM. The Sense camera app leverages usage of various Sense frameworks and some proprietary drivers for ImageChip, all of which are not present on any AOSP ROM.
If you really want the camera, you'll need to switch to a Sense ROM. I recommend ViperXL JB for now. I'm personally waiting for a Sense 5 ROM to come out before I switch back from LiquidSmooth.
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.

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!

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.
