Older camera application where the flash is on

I use Energie ROM(I do not remember which version) and the camera application is version 2012.1425.
When I used the phone with the stock ROM and I set the flash to always on it starts one of the LEDs and when it is dark the camera manages to focus very well. But with the current version(2012.1425) when the flash is set to always on none of the LEDs is constantly on and they are turned on only when taking a picture so the focus in dark places is very bad.
Could someone give me a link to older version(or perhaps a solution) where the flash set to always on acts as described?

oh yes, i do have d same problem as well.. I have constantly been using Energy ROM for quite some time now and i've noticed it since d very first time. We couldnt be happier if this glitch could be solved anytime soon. NRGZ, man we need d flash! peace y'all!

could anybody post older camera version?

bump !

I've been wondering about this also. Any ideas anyone?

No-one know of a regedit to change the camera settings so that when you turn the flash "On", the LED lights up continuously prior to taking a pic (as oppose to staying off and just flashing as the photo is taken)?

I've the same problem. No solutuion?

I use Artemis ROM and it's the same with these as well. A fix would be greatly appreciated

.... up! .....

This problem is almost everywhere. I mean I only had on ROM which handled the camera this was, as it should be, and thats the original ROM. All others including the updated original ROM wouldn't allow me to use the flash as I want to.
Too bad.
Just for the record, I used several WM 6 ROMs and even more Android ROMs and now I am trough with like 6 different WP7 ROMs and none of these seems to allow me to use the flash this way.
Is this really a so hard to manage feature? I am no developer but comeon, can't be impossible. So far everything what de developers did was better than the original ones but whats with this?

You mentioned the cause already. We are not the HTC developers and we don´t have the sources of this app. So it´s nearly impossible to make the flash do what you want without having the chance to change anything

I think that this is not completely true, to have the flash working as mentioned would request the older camera driver, someone has posted them on xda but links are dead now, but a ROM cooker should be able to do that starting from an older ROM as 1.48 or 1.66 .. just think that no one is intrested

Exactly what I meant. It can be done by a Chef.
Maybe it is a lack of interest or I don't know.

ok , maybe we got it.
I asked Sir Sternas (proven chef of astounding Artemis ROM series) to restore older camera and the answer was

Sir
If and others users want this, why not?

this mean you should flash an Artemis ROM , but since it's the most advanced, rock solid and multilanguage ,that should be just a gain.
So since Sternas is waiting for users requests, all those who want the flash working as previously please ask for that in Artemis thread and we'll finally solve this matter

good news!

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.

+1 Nobody has the same problem as us?

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.

[Q] Rear Camera Not Working -Any ideas?

Hello there, i am having some interesting issues with my att xl.
Stock ICS ROM rear camera works perfect.
Any custom JB sense rom, rear camera doesn't work.
Liquidsmooth cm 10.1 JB rom rear camera works perfect.
stock JB 3.18 att rom, rear camera doesn't work.
Before anyone gets all froggy, yes i read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911847&page=3 and it doesn't really pertain to my situation as I am able to get my camera working on different roms.
It seems as though it may be a driver issue, so i tried copying the camera libs from the working cm 10.1 rom into the appropriate folders on both the custom and stock sense jb roms but i just get stuck at boot screen and have to reflash.
Any help will....help... maybe i didnt grab all the files or something.
Thanks ahead of time.

Anyone with any ideas what so ever? Ill try anything at this point.

try to check the md5 of the download jb files and the ones mentioned in the OP and do not try using cm 10.1 libs on sense roms its different , else did u try wiping cache of ur camera and see .. just try some other sense JB Rom and see if u get the same error !

S-on? Did you remember to flash boot.img for every ROM?

Sorry forgot to mention, phone is s-off and I have tried multiple sense roms. Sadly on ics sense roms will alow rear camera to work.

What recovery are you using? A couple of us have had a problem where our dialer would fc if we flashed a sense rom using TWRP after using CWM.

I have tried both cwm and twrp. And have also tried flashing the boot.img.
I think what I will have to try next is reflashing back to ics then starting over...this sucks, it must be a different camera on my particular device...it is a refurbished unit they gave me. Thanks for all the ideas so far, and any more are welcomed.

Ok, I completely re-ruu 'ed... If that makes any sense, to the newest cingular evita rom.. . And... Same exact problem, front camera works, rear doesn't. So my question now is, can I get the camera libs from an ics rom and throw them into the jb rom ? It looks like that will have to be my next venture. This blows

that's weird... i have the 3 of them working on my HD, I really don't have any idea of what could be the problem.. sorry

Many AOSP based ROMs aren't compatible with blur based apps. I think it has something to do with the libs.

CM11 Moto G Stock Camera FC

I really liked the stock camera app in the original firmware so I decided to try and install it. The app starts without any problem, settings work, HDR works... Everything except when I try to take a picture, because it force closes. Is it possible to fix this?
Logcat attached.

How did you manage install the stock camera? The app plain refused to install with no error.

Same situation, but on GPe rom.
I'm kind of in the same situation.
I'm running the GPe rom, and flashed the moto camera, then the stock camera, and then the moto camera (just trying things out). (See: modaco.com/topic/368504-mod-aosp-camera-and-gallery/ ) ~can't post links yet...
Once upon a time the moto camera worked fine, but now everything works as described in the OP, apart from taking a picture, where upon I get the 'Unfortunately, camera has stopped', and a FC.
Flashing the ASOP camera again works perfectly, but I prefer the moto one, if it is possible to get it working?

@dhacker29 created a flashable zip to replace CM camera with the stock one, but its not in the CM11 OP so I have uploaded it to mega

I have flashed it on most ROMs and had no issue, but as always, do a backup just incase

Cheers for the share, plewis1981 ~ it worked perfectly!
And thank you dhacker29 for making it!

Yeah this one works perfectly, except for the slow-mo video mode, why doesnt seem to work at all.

Would love to know that too, I use the slow mo feature and on custom roms it does not work
Any ideas anyone ?
