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
I used Rom toolbox to change my LCD density to 180 and that worked fine however in doing so many market apps either say incompatible or they disappear.
youtube update shows incompatible
netflix shows incompatible.
i purchased LCD Modder pro but that is so convoluted and hard to use AND it manangd to bootloop my phone just using the TEMP option for fix market app which stated (this will not harm your phone only not work)
so i used Rom tool box to change BACK to Density of 240
cleared my market data and cache
booted into CWM
cleared dalvik and fixed permissions 3 times each.
rebooted phone and still netflix is missing and doesnt show in the market.
what gives?
did rom Toolbox do something to my build.Prop now permanently? like stamp it with a line somewhere that is causing market issues?
the only way i can get things back to normal is by reinstalling the rom all over again. ugh...
ROM Toolbox and ICS
Hi,
I've been using ROM Toolbox as long as I've had a rooted Android phone. I recently paid for the pro version to get more customization of the framework. However, it appears that the only icon you can change in ICS is the battery (at least in RTB). I contacted the developer (who is a really nice guy and got back to me very quickly) and asked about this. From what I can gather, he's waiting until there is more development for ICS framework before updating ROM Toolbox to customize the UI as much as it could under GB.
With your specific problem, I recommend contacting him via e-mail. He is prompt in replying and may be able to offer an explanation/solution.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: Oh, I almost forgot. I had some bad luck messing with LCD density before (on GB), so I just stay clear of that. While there's an advantage to gaining more real estate, the SR's screen is so big, I don't see the need. There are some launchers that let you expand the 4x4 grid, too.
He never gets back to me and all I want is a refund for the stupid thing. I hate that app.

Change the density with toolbox and apply the permanent fix with lcd modder pro, works for me on mhx ics 5.1 perfectly.
I read that changing the density with lcd modder will cause boots loops.
Boot loops and screen density
Hey there
I ran into a similar problem - was running SKY ICS UCLD2 (Seans) - First Base, update 5 and downloaded LCD Density Modder Pro. Set the resolution to 190, which I had read was usable, and the phone went into a blank screen bootloop. I ended up reflashing, and then sean released an update with the modified 190 resoution. I flashed that after some more updates, and found I could no longer add applications from the market (Incompatible Device etc). I reinstalled LCD Density modder Pro, and chose the permanent market app fix and it's worked flawlessly for me..
So, you too can probably use LCD Density Modder Pro to fix your market problems.
I am very tempted to try setting things via ROM Toolbox - apparently 210 should give closest to actual density.
Hello there. I've been using AK for CM11S before, and it was working very well. Since CM11S support is now dropped, I made the switch to CM11 M9. I then flashed AK but had a very interesting but annoying issue : graphics corruption. It seems that if parts of the screen don't get refreshed after a while, it becomes pink pixellated garbage (I can't explain it any better). I've been trying to fiddle with Synapse but to no avail. Does anybody know a workaround or a fix concerning this problem ? If yes, thanks a bunch.
P.S. : I can't take any screenshot of this because when I do it doesn't display any of the aftifacts mentioned above.
I forgot to mention that I am currently using AK v. 43.
Switch to latest nightly and your problem is gone. Or disable hardware overlays in developer options. You would know that if you followed ak`s thread.

Hi
How can i get the Samsung camera app to display correct if i reduce the density system-wide?
If i apply the default dpi to com.sec.android.app.camera in xposed app settings, the camera app still doesnt display correctly.
I've tried to edit a few cam related apps without any luck.
To edit every other app isnt a solution in my eyes.
There is a fix for the s6. Maybe someone could port that for our edge?!

Thanks in advance
really nobody?
Having the same issue.
I can look into this after researching the fix in the S6 Thread
Running out of options: Stock Camera APP
Having the same issue.... This is literally the only thing that is keeping me from migrating entirely from my note 3..
I refuse to use google camera for it is utter rubbish; I am not geriatric, thanks.
I have tried Xposed App Settings fixed for lollipop(even though the 4.4 version seemed to be working fine for everything else)and nothing; DPI settings are ignored for the camera package...
I am running TKXodus 4.2 as well + Emotion Kernel.. Hitting stable 3.1GHz OC BTW I really want to iron out the issues with the dpi to finally use the edge as my daily driver but I am not as knowledgeable in terms of apk compiling/decompiling.
I Just updated to android 10 Q and have tried a few mods which have either crashed or required me to restore to base. What are some working Mods you are using on Android 10? i have oos call recorder only at the moment.
Currently the only thing I'm waiting for is QuickSwitch since I strongly dislike the OnePlus Launcher due to its lack of Google Feed, landscape mode, and integrated Search bar. I've been using Lawnchair on Pie and I intend to stay there until an updated version of QuickSwitch is available. But yeah, I'd like to think that modules that have been updated recently would have Q support but I can't exactly say since I don't really use many of them.
I'm only using a certain youtube module currently and it works perfect. Don't have any op specific module installed
xXx No limits works as well
All these work. Taichi Xposed works also
