Days ago, I was testing CyanFox Nightly from 01/27 and noticed that camcorder, camera and gallery works fine, I mean, with other ROMS when I have mp4 files, opening gallery reboots phone; and video recording sometimes is borked or sometimes it just records nothing, but with that latest CyanFox there is no problem.
Is there any way to extract something like a fix (for camera and gallery issues) from CyanFox to another ROM?

Just general feedback those things depend on the ROM, and since CM 11 Kit Kat isn't official or stable yet. it depends which version of CM 11 they used.
Make sure you clean flash from ROM to ROM and if you have specific problems with a specific ROM. I would recommend posting a logcat to elp the DEV.

Hi Ive been installing a tonne of ROMs this past few days and the cyanogen ROM is pretty amazing, only problem I have found is the flash video playback within websites is not that good, even the official CM7 Roms have had this problem with choppy flash video.
I have found an update zip in the forums that makes flash video and 720p video playback silky smooth, however it only installs on froyo and when trying to install the update via recorvery on CM7 it comes with an error during process and is ubale to install (doesnt do anything to booting up so didn't affect ROM when unsucessfull)
the link below is where a member posted this 720P playback update zip:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...3&postcount=24
if its possible to adapt the code for installing on CM7 gingerbread, you would have cracked the problem that even the official CM7 ROMS still have,
Your link doesn't work.
Btw. Quarx said he wants to enable hardware accelerated flash on CM7.
hw flash works in nightlys. if you want it to work on older releases replace libstagefright.so or rebuild one from source.
Oh and flash playback is incredibly bad on stock roms. On cm7 nightly 480p is watchable and 720p is only a little choppy while on stock 360p is barely watchable even on leaked 2.3.
And why did you opened a dev tread for that? General is ok but why dev. And working HW flash is stated in the OP of CM7 thread
Havent tried the latest nighlty but if its hardware accelerated must be good. that link was working today as I double checked it but it definitely feels hardware accelrated once zip is applied on a froyo rom not stutter whats so ever, im using BBC news embeded flash videos as a benchmark as they are pretty demanding videos to play with mico choppiness ever 10 seconds without the mentioned update zip
BBC news videos are fluid for me on CM7 nightly. Once it became choppy in full screen, I think some other service was using a lot of CPU at the same time.
heres the correct link from that post with the really good decoder
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11018223&postcount=24
just installed the nightly rom and playback 720p video fine but flash is no where near as good compared to using froyo and this update zip which I tried to install (after testing) on the nightly rom and it gave me continuous loop.
Back to nordic for me.
UPDATE!
Update latest rc0 implements flash hardware decoding, its amazing!
I have a problem with the camera and video hardware to all custom firmware which are based on cyanogenmod kernel. Camera work but does not move and hardware video on player don*t move. On firmware are based on stock all right work. I've tried everything hboot and recovery but result is the same. Install Miui 2.1.6.08 then install kernel UNITY_V9_2.6.35.14 is the only variant when camera well works but hardware video does not work at all. I hope to help developers!

i hope someone could take a look at this and lend a hand. i've got the same problem with my Desire S. Used both MIUI 1.12.30 and then Reaper v1.1, both really good ROMs except for the video playback problem. It does the same when trying to take pictures, the camera preview window would freeze after a couple of seconds but pictures come out ok. same thing when viewing videos through browser or when i try to watch a video file saved in the sd card, video freezes after couple of seconds but audio is totally normal.
yep yep! and what I say

Hello all,
I have the same problem as you with my camera. The Gallery isn't displaying my pictures from my camera. it started out with some of them just being black and saying no thumbnail when i would select it. When I open one of it in the gallery, only "loading" appears.
Somebody heard about this issue? I have this problem since last Thursday. I'm using cm9 nightly build.
I try a full wipe but no effect on it...
Thanks.
Lens cap on?
(Sorry, I couldn't resist)
New camera apps still access the same base camera apk.
So you might have a borked camera apk. You could flash a new one.
Or if you have a custom ROM or kernel something in the rom or kernel might be bad. Try reflashing the kernel, then try a different kernel, then reflash the rom, then try a different rom.
Though i doubt the kernel is at fault since you can read bar codes. It sounds like the camera isnt converting its images to files. That could be a apk issue or a rom issue

I try to reflash the rom with a full wipe, no effect... Is the kernel flashed when a rom is flashed (For me a kernel is present inside a ROM, isn't? ) ? If not, which Kernel I have to use?
Thanks!
I tried with another Kernel : the Kernel Bricked 3.0 v1.4 but doesn't change anything. How can I find a stock camera app apk?
Thanks
Here below a logcat when taking a picture.
Have anyone an ideas about this issue?
Will be grateful for any contribution.

I tried with CM10 rom and the same problem. So the problem is not related to a specific ROM and not related to a kernel.
What's the problem?
+1 here, cm9 && cm10 not working, miui based on stock kernel working
on cm9 && cm10 the camera preview works fine,
i have posted here, with a camera logcat pasted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38806849&postcount=235
have tried sultan kernal r20.8, still not working
I've the same problem, I am pretty sure my camera is fine. It can take the photo even in preview the photo is fine, but it cant save the photo , it just a black image with a exclamation sign, not only this there are other problems too like , with youtube app I cant watch videos, with gallery apps the videos ( that i took before) are blue shaded and not clear and laggy , but with mx player both videos are working fine, Tried a lot of roms , in MIUI rom youtube can play videos also gallery playback is fine , but the camera problem is still there , tried a lot other roms too like ahrd , viper, revelation , aokp, cm10, etc etc, only with miui youtube and gallery playback works flawlessly. Any solution anyone ?? please ? I changed the sd card too, nothing.
exactly the same problem here...
after unlocking and flashin 4ext and a new rom my camera looks fine, but doesn't save the pictures... anyone any idea please?
i really miss my camera!!!
I even went to stock rom, still my problem persists . I guess its problem with 2D GPU thing, cause even in weather app when I click on demo the sense weather thing doesnt work. Sometimes it takes a picture but with serious bluish tint.
Hi all,
I have been updating my wife's Infuse with the unofficial CM10.1 build by Scott. When I first installed my wife's 7/14 build (CM10.1, JB 4.2.2) we have NOT experienced any audio crackling. Several nights ago, my wife encountered the crackling noise in videos she's taken using her camera.
I know the issue has been fixed in 4.3, but since this is the first 4.3, I am not very sure that my wife will be able to deal with a few instabilities here and there (which has been the approach I've been following for my wife's installations; waiting a month or so for each version until it stabilizes a bit).
My question is: Is there a manual way of fixing the audio crackling issue (change a setting, edit a config file, flash a ZIP, etc.) that I can perform in the 07/14 build? Or is it a code change and I'm SOL?
Thanks in advance!

The problem is caused by viper audio. You'd need the app removed and the lib file...it would have to be built without it included ahead of time.. If you have to stay on 4.2.2 downgrade to the first version without viper. If you don't care then just update to 4.3

When you say it would have to be built without it ahead of time do you mean this isnt a modifcation that can be made once the rom is installed?
I would like to use Unofficial CM10.1 - 4.2.2 - 7/14/13 version of this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776129 and not have choppy audio.
I cant upgrade to Unofficial CM10.2 - 4.3 - 8/5/13 because -
Cannot send or receive MMS because of crashing mms aplication
Front facing camera images with high ambient light crashes the camera (crashes or freezes whichever app your using)
Cannot use Titanium Backup to "modify" system applications (a bug in Titanium that only happens on Android 4.3)
Thanks for your help

No, it unfortunately isn't something you can modify on your own. As far as the MMS crashing problem I saw a commit earlier by slimroms that fixes that so Scott will probably add it in by the next build. The other problems will also be fixed in time, 4.3 hasn't been out long...just give it time

Is it possible for someone to create a zip containing the audio crackle fix that can be flashed via CWM? Or is that out of the question?
If someone can pinpoint the library that needs to be updated and with what version (i.e. grabbing a version from a later build), I can look into how to create a flash-able zip to fix the issue. I would appreciate it even more if someone else did it.
I don't use my phone to shoot video often so not a major issues, but I current cannot record video on the default camera app (or any other camera app, when I attempt to shoot video it FCs.
Currently I'm running the latest build of Cataclysm ROM + faux 002m kernel. When my phone was running stock the video camera worked just fine.
Did you clear the camera data and then try opening it?
prshosting.org
did you try a different rom?
Same issue here. Allthough running stock rom&kernel.

backup everything. full wipe and reflash just the rom and gapps. boot in, setup and make sure everything is working. then, if you want to stick with faux, download the latest release (005) and flash in recovery. report back.

and you've done nothing to your device? has it always not recorded video or did it just stop working recently?

I'm rooted. Actually I don't know wether it was capable of recording video, because it's a replacement device and I haven't tried recording video before updating to 4.4.2.
But since recording video is not a big deal for me, I don't know if i'm willed to go through the backup-flash-restore procedure. Propably I'll do it when PA is available.
Fixed by flashing Franco kernel r24 :S
