[Q] A700 Camera issue rooted? - Acer Iconia A700 and A510

Hi new to rooting etc. Just purchased the A700 it was already rooted and has CM10 on.
Now when opening camera app the camera comes on, if I pan around camera follows but really laggy. It then turns to a green screen with lines and errors with unfortunately gallery has crashed etc.
Ive updated rom and tried changing camera2.apk etc but nothing is working. Can anyone help as I am totally new to this Cm?
Thanks in advance.

Camera dark and green hue after CM upgrade
Same problem here. After upgrading my Acer A700 stock to CM11 KitKat unofficial my front camera isn't crisp clear anymore. The images have a green hue and are much darker. I installed CM10.2 nightly and the result isn't any better.
I'm in doubt about what happened.

I can't confirm this on CM 10.2 nightly from early january with a A701 (uses the same camera). Did you do a wipe before installing the roms?

[Q] Oxygen ROM 2.3.2- Saga (HTC Desire S), camera not working

Hi,
I tried to install Oxygen ROM 2.3.2 - Saga for HTC Desire S - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235864 - but my camera is not working properly.
The camera is supposed to show you a preview of what the camera is pointing at, updated real time - basically you are looking through the camera when you are pointing at things - but in my case the view gets stuck on first thing that the camera is pointing at when I turn it on... sometimes it updates the view after couple of seconds but it is so fitful that the camera is not usable.
When I try to switch to camcorder there is the same problem and when I try to make some video it is fitful... and when I watch the video it seems to be stuck for couple of seconds, than it moves a little and again it's stuck for another five seconds (so it's not just the preview, the real video produced by the camera is affected ass well).
I tried full wipe, I tried that ROM with or without Tiamat kernel - no change, I erased SD card, I erased everything and when I try the camera on clean new install of that ROM - it is not working.
I restored original factory build that comes with HTC Desire S and camera worked perfectly - but I would really love to use that Oxygen ROM - it's great and except for the camera it works perfectly... so much better then the original HTC thing.
I noticed that in the thread related to that ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235864 there are messages where people mention that camera is working OK for them - please, do you have any idea what might be the problem? Any help would be really appreciated.
Thank you,
Jan

[Q] Instagram - purple video on lollipop roms

When lollipop builds were first released for the one, there were tons of bugs. Since then much of them have been cleaned up. I've had two consistent problems, through at least 4 different roms.
1) recording video, and you hit stop. It doesnt stop, it just hangs and keeps recording until you force close and lose your recording. It doesnt appear to be happening in this rom however. So this is solved.
2) The current issue I'm having is that no matter which lollipop rom I use, if I try and take video using the built in camera, it shows heavy people static and can't take the video. I have multirom recovery installed, but I'm only using the primary rom. And I've now switched to AK kernel thinking maybe it was a kernel issue... But to no avail.
Anyone have any tips? I'm at wits end. Only happens with instagram.
Currently running a fresh install of darkobass, with ak kernel...
But it's also happened on CR droid, 2 of the first cm12 daily builds that released, blisspop, and on paranoid android that I just tried before darko.

Going from MaximusHD to CM12.1

I just want to let you know I finally made the ROM jump from MaximusHD to CyanogenMod 12.1 and it went superb!
Before starting this I thought I would be busy the whole evening (or more than one) so I prepared for the worst. I still use this phone on a daily basis. I got another HTC oldy as a backup just in case. My HTC One S isn't recognized on my PCs anymore since jumping in the swimming pool with it last summer so I had an extra handicap not being able to upload from PC to device.
I updated TWRP to the latest. Cleared storage. Rebooted in MaximusHD again ignoring the setup wizard as much as possible. Once booted I opened the web browser and downloaded the CM12.1 05DEC Unofficial ROM and TK GApps mini directly to my device. (All links available in the specific thread here on XDA) Booted in recovery again and flashed CM12.1 and TK GApps. All my apps and settings were uploaded/installed when the device booted CM12.1.
After boot all I had to do is change my Mobile 3G APN setting.
After one hour of work I couldn't believe it went so quick! And easy! The experience of CM12.1 on this 3 year old phone is unbelievable. I thought I would experience more lag and slow responses but... none of that. I can't notice any difference in speed comparing with the MaximusHD ROM.
I hope this stimulates others to make the update.

I've been tempted by the idea of jumping the MaximusHD rom ship for a while too. Are you happy with the camera performance? One of the reasons I'm reluctant to go the non-Sense rom way is the lack of the full hardware access to the camera on those roms.
I just jumped the ship three days ago. I didn't use the camera besides taking 3 pictures for test purposes. I'm a long time Camera ZOOM FX user so the app installed itself again. I replaced the CM12 camera app in the drawer with it.
I need more user experience time with the camera to tell you it lacks in any way.
What, besides performance (speed) issues, will affect the camera not being able to have full hardware access?

A couple of things I remember were missing from non-Sense camera apps are the ability to shoot slow motion video (lower res but higher fps) and the HDR mode for photos.
Not that these two produced any usable results though .
I believe the other parameters like photo/video resolution are adjustable with the stock CM camera and ZOOM FX apps, right?

I can't find slow motion video. I never saw it in the MaximusHD ROM either. ZOOM FX cam does have the HDR option, just like with MaximusHD. But seriously, it's nothing more than a gimmick. Do you ever use it?

With stock CM camera I don't see these options. This cam app is really minimal. Some say you need to set resolution by entering the hamburger menu upper-left but I don't have the menu. App version is 2.0.002.
With ZOOM FX Premium all resolutions settings are there.
When booting my phone this morning I noticed that there is still one MaximusHD ROM leftover. I guess it's not really part of the ROM. It's the boot screen. The first screen you see when cold booting your phone. It's a screen with HTC logo and the development warning text in red underneath it. Can I easily get rid of it?

It's not part of the ROM, it's rather a part of the bootloader itself. You can change it by flashing a modified bootloader version:

Just read the thread on how to do that and find the one that fits your HBOOT version.
Coming from MaximusHD my hboot is at version 2.16... I don't see any download for that.
I've been using 20151223 UNOFFICIAL for some time now without the camera/flashlight issue. I've been using the camera more than once during the holidays.
Only trouble I have is getting cellular (3G) back online after flight modus. It's not possible. I have to restart the device every time. Anybody else experiencing this?
No, working great here on 2015-12-23 Unofficial HBOOT 2.16 from Flyer. When going out of plane mode, it takes around 15 seconds to get H icon (for HSDPA, 3G if you prefer). It may be a problem with the SIM card or advanced operator settings.
