ya i did (the circle animation to complete itself) but let me tell you that this happens randomly not always?

no, i do not use the camera mod.
hdr+ mode works perfectly for me. and im not talking about when the circle animation finishes. give it a good 7-8 seconds after the camera animation finishes to check out the photo. also, if you take many hdr+ photos, itll take a while before all the photos are ready.

Agreed. If you try to view the picture too soon it will screw up the rendering process...had that happen the first few days I owned the phone.

Green tint in burst camera mode

Whenever i take a picture in burst camera mode, the picture has a green tint on it. I had the problem with the stock ROM when I enabled all camera modes and still have it running mightymike's 11.16 rom so it may be hardware related. All other camera modes seem to work fine. Has anyone else come across this problem?

This is completely a stab in the dark, but try taking your back cover off and take a picture. Do you still have a green tint? Also, when you move the picture to a computer, does it have a green tint still?

Interesting... When i move the picture to the computer it looks fine. Also, When I browse to the pic thru the file explorer, it also looks fine. It's only green in the pic immediately after the shot.
Ah well.. Thanks for the ideas.

CM7 Bugs and To DO list

Current version: CyanogenMod 7 Beta 6
Bugs:
[1].Microphone is not working when speaker is active
[2].Movie playback: playback is jumping frames backward
[3].Camera recording is skipping frames
[4].Igo and Motonav navigation very buggy/resets phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To Do list:
[1].Recording: 720p (red lens) & WVGA (green lens)
[2].Power Menu:
-Reboot Recovery should go to Custom Recovery instead of Stock
-Reboot Bootloader should go to Bootloader or Android Bootmenu
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please report bugs here. Do it only if you have Current Release, specified at the top. A bug will be added only if a 2nd user will confirm/reproduce the problem!
I wonder when does the next version come?
thanks for your list
Not everyone has the volume up button bug I certainly do not. Also not sure how the reboot to recovery option would work as we have a non standard custom recovery.

I just tried the leaked version of Google music 3 and it works perfectly with 5.1 so may be we can have this as default music player in the next release.
Edit: how about requests, thanks.

I'm hoping the final version or the next version can incorporate built-in codec like the Korean official froyo. If you have used Jboogie's Blur version that is based on Korean official froyo, it can play almost any type of video formats on the fly without using an app like v-player that relies on software codecs.
[2].DO NOT press Volume up when you are recording, because then your camera will freeze and force close and then you have to reboot

Just tried this out, but no freeze for me.
Another ToDo would be optimizing the battery management.
Stock Roms due its integration of motorola battery manager have a much better battery performance.

before the bootmenu we had a custom recovery that was called by an app, couldn't this call be made from the reboot menu?
so the bugs that i found
a.camera sound when boot (I got red lens)
b.720p playback don't work on portrait but landscape it's ok
c.I used VLC stream&convert to play my video from pc via defy. It took 12 seconds before the video appear. Normally,It takes 2-3 seconds on 3.4.2-177 or 3.4.3-11
The bugs on above i haven't found any except the microphone when speaker on.

ok 10x I will try it
When taking pictures with high contrast, for example outside with sun shining, the camera-app freezes sometimes and the preview looks weird. lock and unlock, and camera works again, but the previous taken picture is not beeing saved.
I can't tell if it's only for the green lense, but it is reproducable and in quarx' thread I saw a few guys having the same issues. I will search and quote them when I'm back home again.
edit: From Quarx' CyanogenMod 7 thread:

okay, it's true...
i can reproduce your error when capturing something with high contrast (like a lamp, lcd monitor, or outdoor capturing)
@Quarx, i think stock /system/etc/mot_ise_imager_cfg.bin is just fine.. it's more stable.
less compressed image is not neccesary enough,
we need reliable camera for a nice moment to capture...
imagine you suddenly saw ufo / superman / weird moment in the sky,
you take a picture but your camera freeze..
sorry for the dumb imagination

Made a photo outside and i just got the upper lines with rest greyed or green. Doesn't save picture. Now inside house, i don't have this.
It seems to be on 5Mpix only. Change focus or auto-flash don't change anything.
Also afterwards options on the screen don't work and have to switch video and back.
ps.: made donation!! ^^

so i've updated cm7 from 5.1 to 6, and now the wifi can't find any networks, not even if i manually set it up. tried to go back to 5.1 but that version wouldn't work anymore either. tried fxr wifi fixer from market, no success. tried wiping cache partition, no luck.

Cyanogen Camera issues

Not sure if its just me or if anyone else is experiencing this issue
As you can watch this video, it takes forever for the camera to take pic and then processing it..
If I close the camera app before it thumbnail goes to the top right corner, it seems to just delete itself..
BTW, Im on CM11s rom, running franco kernel, in case anyone wants to know...
Thanks for any help..
You're using HDR mode that complies multiple exposure settings to get you the best pic. It's always slower than non HDR mode.
That looks horrible.
HDR mode on my nexus 4 works a lot faster.

First pic was in auto mode.. you can see after I focused on the car, I hit the shutter button... 3 secs later, sound and then another 7 secs later the pic gets taken.. I then swiped to the different scene modes
but regardless which scene mode, does the same thing... really annoying.. tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times but same thing...
not sure if theres a similar topic, but Ive noticed an issue with saving photos after they are taken, it takes couple minutes or more for them to show in gallery.
if I take a photo, and go out of the camera app and enter gallery, the most recent photos wont show.
But if I go back to camera app and swipe right, it will show them there.. wth?!
Try downloading the latest version from play.

Camera Autofocus

Does anyone else have issues with the camera consistently auto focusing when recording video? It makes this constant clicking noise when recording. It's really bad on Snapchat. It doesn't even record for the full ten seconds or whatever... This seems to happen on every CM ROM that I have ever used...Is it just me, or does it happen to others?
I'm on Temasek 5.9

I have exact issue, in snap and in stock camera. I am on stock room.

This happened to me when I went to my daughters Christmas Play and recorded it at the time I didn't know but when I got home and watched the video I seen that the video was ruined from it auto focusing so much
So I started digging around in the settings of both the camera and video recorder to see if I could fix it I only had to change 2 settings to get it to work right
1st I went into camera settings and changed Focus Mode mine was set to Continuous by default so I changed it to Auto
2nd I went into video settings and in there is a setting for Video stabilization it was unchecked so I checked it and that's it
Now all my videos are great try these settings out and see if they work for you I hope they do because they worked for me

Front Camera rotation

Hi guys,sorry if this has been asked before but is there anyway to flip for the front camera for apps like Snapchat so you can use filters and videos without them being upside down. Thanks:good:

Cheers for the suggestion but as per the above it doesn't work for Snapchat. Doesn't seem that there is any solution at present. Pity because everything else about the phone is super.

Yeah sure Snapchat could add the functionality but would be great to get a workaround.
I have a little trick, but I dont know if it works with Snapchat, but it works with Instagram, and Facebook, which I use both.
1. Unlock the screen rotation.
2. Open Facebook.
3. Turn your phone 90° so Facebook will be in landscape mode.
4. Turn your phone again 90° so Facebook App will be upside down.
------ 90° each, because sometimes turning it 180° doesn't work
5. Lock the screen rotation.
6. Open Instagram. It is now upside down, and selfie camera for stories now work normally.
HTH. I also hope this works with other apps.

With this method snapchat rotates the whole camera feed so in the end it comes up upside down. I think it's snapchat's fault, we would need a modded version or a proper update for our phones.
