camera lag miui us

hello. i have little problem with camera in miui rom, latest version. i just bought desire s so i flash from stock rom. this lag isn t only in miui camera but in camera fx too, so i think it is in all camera apps.any ideas?

Which kernel are you using? I used to find it pretty swift using the Tiamat kernel.
Settings > About Phone >
Should have something along the lines of Cyanogen or Tiamat, I'm guessing its Cyanogen, only because I know most of the AOSP ROMs use it.

2.6.35.14 cyanogenmod [email protected] *1

Try switching some settings off even, but if not, definitely try the tiamat kernel.

i have disabled some graphic features, flashed that kernel but still lagging

Give Galnet a shot, with a combination of Tiamat.

It was the one combination I ran on the Desire S flawlessly, and thoroughly enjoyed.

didnt help too. i read somewhere that this lagging is on some older desire s. very bad to shoot photos but possible, but making video is such a pain i love this rom so i will wait if some sollution appear later. thx anyway
edit: not old but new desire s could have this problem

No offence, but I wouldn't hold your breathe. The HTC Desire S probably won't get the attention it needs, as it doesn't really stand out from the crowd.
Awesome device, but over shadowed by many of the giants that are approaching.
I've never had any problems with the camera being slow on mine. But I don't know what you would consider appropriate. At the same time though, mine is currently an expensive alarm clock.

some new thoughts. it doesnt lag like about 1 second after start camera app. it doesnt lag neither when i set timer . for 5 counting seconds is camera smooth. it was also quite smooth when i opened camera and i received force close window about app Talk. so if it could work good at least in 5 seconds count there must be way how to make it works.

hi guys! Same problem. I bought the brand new Desire S. Make it S-off, root, 4ext recovery.
i flash the latest MIUI and the same problem here with camera and video playback!
i figured how it lags - when animation of ui is running - video playback is running to. When animation of ui elements stops - video playback (and camera playback) stops too!!! Try to touch the elements of user interface when camera stops!
It seems that in new models of desire video driver works differently.
I tried to flash all versions of stock roms - the problem was gone.
But with latest cyanogen kernel, all versions of tiamat kernel i got same problem!
It is only one custom kernel with this lags gone - it is UNITY_V9_2.6.35.14_OC2016_UV900_SLQB_CIFS_TUN_NOOP_EXT4_2WCR_VDD_SAGA3.zip
But with miui and this kernel wifi stops working normally and video playback to, but camera works great!
May be some specialists in this questions make differences in above kernels and differentiate the problem...
i am wery disappointed in this device because i cannot get normally working any custom roms! ( only stock... but stock sucks!! want MIUI!!
there are another guys with same problem: ht_p://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/37785-camera-bug/
P.S. Sorry for bad english, i teach it bad in my russian school

Yes, I have the same problem with a brand new DS. I reported this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20497676&postcount=559
and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20510357&postcount=562.
It is happening with CM7 and MIUI Roms, the latter obviously have CM7 core.
No solution known to me. Can't take Sense bloat anymore, but at least camera works fine.
Edit:
On top: I have just bricked the device (wrong EMMC, can't write system, data, cache, hboot)!

Maybe someone (as I bricked my DS) can have a look at the new CM7 build by Jorgen (can be found in the thread I linked above)? Should have implemented new! HTC kernel sources. The camera might work now.

other ideas?
It seems that this thread is more active so i write my thoughts here too....
The problem with the lagging camera is only on new HTC Desire S (i think), because i got my desire s a half year before and on this one it's working. With the new HTC Desire S of my girlfriend it isn't working.
So i found a alternative, for those who like to take some pictures and capture some videos. The first one is (pictures only) a free app called pudding camera, it has a nice UI and it's working. The second one is (pictures and videos) a paid app (2,50€ i think) called Angel Camera which allows you to take pictures and videos. Oh and to make high quality pictures you have to select fine shot or something like this.
The problem is, i don't think that the (only) problem is the camera driver because watching videos is also a pain. Try to watch for an example youtube videos they will bug as much as the camera preview. In a few other apps like daily ... workout the videos are lagging like hell too.
And like it was said before it's working if you keep some UI interaction up all the time. For example press menu all the time, you will see it's running fluently. The same is working in the camera app too.
Perhaps a problem with hardware acceleration? The drivers (can't) be the problem because third party apps are working without that lag?
I hope someone more experienced can join this thread.
Perhaps superkid or proxuser or mdeejay, ...
yeah. xD there are lots of very experienced guys in these forums.
Thx.

Hmmm. Apart from the fact that I managed to replace my bricked device and now own a DS whose camera thankfully works, my experience was totally different.
I certainly tried 3rd party camera apps: Vignette, Camera 360, Nemus Camera and Camera Zoom FX. None worked, all of them showed the uber-laggy preview.
So at that time I assumed the issue involves indeed a new driver, API or whatever, a deeper problem not to be solved by using a certain camera app.
@mikep1993: Would you please try one of the mentioned apps, if possible (there are free versions)? And, which CM version are you on?

I tried other apps but they are lagging as well, i found those two which won't lag. I can't tell anything more detailed but i know those too apps are working. Perhaps they are programmed a bit different or something like this, but yeah.
We are using Galnet MIUI 1.12.31 so the newest build. Like i said before it's working with ICS again. Had no change to try a MIUI ICS build but perhaps we are lucky.

Now what should I throw my phone!!!!!!!! why no one solves the problem!!! I do not want to sit on stock firmware. This problem 100% in kernel, let anyone else will this kernel.

Today there is a new CM7 version available in the dedicated Desire S thread here at xda. Some changes in camera are introduced. Might be worth checking.

all still. I hope they understand what the problem is not in the camera and problem in hardware video accelerator therefore, the lag in the camera

Go down to Additional Information for each app (if it doesn't show on mobile, revert to a computer) and find out what android version you need. Many require 4.0 these days (hence the coining of the term "ginger-death").
If sticking with this device, you may be ROM'ing after all. I would suggest starting with TBaldens CM 10.1. GimmeABreak also looks nice. If all you need is 4.0, then I would recommend CM9 (although I never used it, Sverhagens 9.1 version sounds more improved than the official).

Dam so this phone will be useless cuz most apps wont work I just kept it to for the camera had a baby so takes great pics and videos and awesome camera adjustment video settings any new roms that have the same settings?

To keep the HTC Sense camera, your options would be limited.

None I've tested, may want to do your research on them to see which works best for you.
Alternatively, you can do what I've done, and install CM anyway, and use a third party camera app -> Ultra Camera (theres a few, but UCam has a free version). Works well. You can see if you like it by installing the camera app now (supports Android 2.2 and up) and trying it out, taking comparison shots. Note that you will have to tweak the settings a little...when I installed it, it took 6MP pictures, where I have since scaled it up to the proper 8MP.
Hope this helps.

[Q] Can i put Call Recording on Mahdi rom?

I mean the built-in option in the call screen while having a call.
I tried some mods with the exposed but nothing happend.
If it can't be done, can you reccomend a stable rom which has this feature?
Thanks,

I don't want to use 3rd party apk such automatic call recording Etc
Thanks

For the built-in screen you need rom support(for built in recorder) and kernel support(for recording at all).
I'm almost certain phones that don't have it enabled in kernel by default don't have it in rom either.
Yes, you can put recording on oneplus asop roms, for cm11 its certain. You need build.prop hack and recording program.

thanks. can you direct me to this hack?
thanks

Its here.

He says button appears in call screen, but it didn't for me.
So I used this app(its the best call rec app).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441643
It will work fine with caf root methood, select bacon(!) not oneplus from list or you will have distortion.
This is for cm11 nighly, and probably other cm based roms. Cm11s doesn't have it yet, and might never get it.

is your x-reality/super vivid mode really working?

Hi, newb here...
i just wanna confirm if your x-reality/super vivid mode is really working because i can't really see any difference when i turn it on (or maybe its just me) which made me question the functionality of the image processor of my phone and the image enhancement..
i used the screenshot method to compare the super vivid mode/x-reality turned on vs turned off using that and again i can't really see much of a difference.
i think the camera app mod i'm using has nothing to do with the image preview quality since the preview itself doesn't satisfy me the quality its previewing... the previous owner of this phone wasn't able to backup the TA partition so i got no idea what the original version should look like but i owned an xperia ray before so i know what to expect when the x-reality engine is turned on.
i'm using rooted z5 e6653 with this rom and kernel in the link:

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR FEEDBACKS...

Most of all, if the previous owner unlocked the bootloader without backing up (and reflashing) the TA partition, the DRM keys are gone. X-reality is one of the DRM-ed things, I believe.
Other than that, are you using the original Album app? If you're using a third-party camera app, it may not show.
Also, do you give the photo a while to 'load'? Nougat made the loading time atrocious, to the point that when you normally watch the pics, you don't see the X-reality. The latest update helped a bit, but it still takes good 15 seconds to load the enhancements.
To check, I recommend using a photo with blue sky. Ever since Xperia Z, blue was the most affected color. by BRAVIA/X-reality Somehow, it really cranks it up, to the point that it may be on par with Samsung's OLEDs. You will definitely notice the change, if there is any. If not, you're out of luck.

Hi, thanks for this, i wasn't able to consider using the original album app. It did work using the Album app. Now i'm a bit dissapointed to know that the phone's enhancement engine is working fine and that the results aren't tjat good compared to other phones nowadays. But i still love sony especially because of the OIS and the HiRes audio.
Thanks Again. ?

Can I install stock Sony Camera on top of LineageOS?

Hi everyone,
I've been going back and forth between, Stock, LineageOS, and CarbonROM. I've unlocked and rooted, and then went back and relocked and unrooted ....
I ended up liking the non-stock roms, but I much prefer the Sony Camera App from Stock, and not LineageOS or Google. It's ability to record in H265 4K is also very handy.
Is this combination possible? I can't seem to find the right steps to pull this off. LineageOS is so much better (Fingerprint, Battery, Customization, Bluetooth send correct data to my car, etc.)
Any help or instructions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

No, you can't install the stock Sony camera app on AOSP (unless in the future someone ports it).
The only similar app on AOSP roms is HTC Camera app (which recognizes the full 23 mp and has a clean interface), but at the cost that you can't save them to your SD card. Download it from apkmirror and try, you might like it.

Thanks for letting me know about the HTC app and your reply.
