- Camera: set early video size on video recording

Please test if Camera is still crashing in some cases.
[Galaxy S II General] heartsdales:
Btw,whats the difference between LPS,LPR,LPQ and LPJ modem?
[Galaxy S II General] sm0use:
Some quicks tests seem all good so far. Tested across 480, 720, 1080. Also tested to different storage on both camera and video.

Will keep playing and see if anything causes it to crash.
[Galaxy S II General] drspikes:
Have got to say I have been on stock rooted ROM's until now. I tried CyanogenMod 9 nightly 25-4 because I couldn't resist the desire for the TV off style effect!

I have not looked back, everything that I use is working well and the main known-issue was resolved for me thanks to Spirit FM app to restore radio player.

Thanks so much for your hard work.:)
[Galaxy S II General] jimmytee:
Hi all,

Hope some of you can help. I am currently on cm9 nightly build and accidentally erased my internal SD storage. Everything still works fine however when I was trying to install back some of my games from Gameloft, e.g. BackStab, an error message pop out saying that my internal storage is insufficient and it requires at least 1034MB of storage. I have checked to the storage menu and currently my sd card still having about 11gb free storage.

Any of you have solution for this? Thank you very much for your help!
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
With this latest build I still get a crash if I follow the following steps:

Start Camera

Change to video record mode

Film for a few second then stop

Change to camera mode

Force close

[Galaxy S II General] anton79ru:
I guess this is mostly about restoring *system* apps when switching from a totally different ROM. You shouldn't do that because those may be incompatible.

If you ask me, I have never had any trouble restoring *user* application like games, Swype keyboard, or office stuff. Same goes for their data. You can definitely restore contact storage data from TB if you want to preserve everything the way it was including photo quality - tested dozens of times and works flawlessly.
[Galaxy S II General] natzy85:
on the 28 test nightly camera still FC like before but live wallpaper once again works with Trebuchet running smooth as before 27'th build.
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
For those whose camera crashes

I have a theory I would be curious to confirm. I used to have FC and crashes on the camera too. My SGSII is the SIM Free one I bought straight off amazon when it was released in May 2011. The camera firmware on this was fairly old, and since I have a nandroid backup of a Samsung ROM, I installed the latest firmware update apk from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098834

So unfortunately, you will need a Samsung ROM to install the new firmware but my end result is no crash at all. I just did the following tests:

Video mode:

- 480p recording 15s

- switch to 1080p, recording for 15s

- switch to 720p, recording for 15s

No crash or force close. Also, I am on 20120427-NIGHTLY, not the latest codeworkx testbuild.

If someone has time to test this with an ICS ROM then back on CM9, grab the latest firmware: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1015930&d=1334947268

ALSO PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT A FIRMWARE UPGRADE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO KILL YOUR CAMERA IF IT DOES NOT APPLY RIGHT, don't come back crying to me.
[Galaxy S II General] snelz:
on latest nightly and LPS modem, mine and the mrs phone when i plug in headphones it doesn't disable the normal phone speaker...headphones still work though.

tested stock and old htc hero headphones...which both worked on stock and villain rom.

always clear dalvik and cache...but not tried full wipe just yet

searched thread and web but although found a few people with same problem and not just the galaxy s2 phone but other phones to.... i couldnt find a solution.

known issue or anyone else have this problem?

many thanks in advance

edit: my bad when you actually play sound it does disable the speaker...but you get no icon when you plug headphones in...and when no media playing...the sound of the volume rocker still plays on both headphones and internal speaker.... which is ofcourse no problem..

cheers for a fantastic rom btw!

is there a headphone icon on status bar when plugging in headphones on cm9 btw.... just wondered.

no force closes here
[Galaxy S II General] dandjo:
Also no problem here. Maybe I've got the newer camera firmware?

[Galaxy S II General] GuestK00150:
hey!

maybe someone can help me out in this camera discussion jungle :o

1 Is there a way to find out which version of the camera firmware I´m using without flashing a samsung based rom?

2 Is there any way to upgrade without flashing a samsung rom, a flashable zip maybe? If yes, can some please post the latest working firmware?

THANKS

hey codeworkx,

why are there so many abandoned commits from you regarding the kernel today?
[Galaxy S II General] Phistachio:
Yeah, what worries me the most is why the 3.0.30 kernel merge was abandoned? Is it unstable?

Makes me think twice on flashing the testbuild :/
[Galaxy S II General] kubrick89:
Is it just me or touchscreen sometimes doesn't work properly in lockscreen?
[Galaxy S II General] cammel:
Really??? How could it be possible? If you touch the 2g/3g toggle on the status bar it just changes like it should without any problem?

@codeworkx is the 2g/3g toggle on the dropdown status bar really fixed? Cause if it is there is something wrong with my phone I could think...

Thanks a lot!

[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
Was wondering the same. I have done a bit of search on XDA an google and could not find any information concerning this. Also used logcat to see what the phone reports when opening the camera app but did not spot any firmware information.

In fairness, this is not complicated:

1. Download a CWM zip of the official Samsung App

2. Backup your current on nandroid

3. Wipe cache/dalvik/factory

4. Apply official ICS zip

5. reboot and install camera firmware apk

6. launch apk and check current firmware (take it down on paper)

7. flash

8. Go back to nandroid, backup official ics if you want

9. restore cm9 backup

10. test camera again

You want something nice, you got to work for it. I suspect the firmware update is too tied on samsung's framework to allow you to run that on any AOSP ROM.

I'm having a weird problem in which my phone tells me that internal storage is full, even when is not. This messes up with the camera app and I'm no longer able to take screenshots. Switching to external SD card seems to solve it but is a work around rather than a solution...

Factory reset, wipe cache, start fresh. You can't complain until you can replicate after a factory wipe.

When I first bought my SGS2 last year, I too updated the camera firmware and considering I get no camera FC's, you could well be onto something.

[Galaxy S II General] boolean22:
The problem was wrong reporting at the storage in settings.

once I removed some info, the problem vanished.:-)

And reported OK.
[Galaxy S II General] stepic:
Yes, now it works as it should.

You tap on 2G/3G widget on status bar and it turns off mobile data, switches 2G or 3G then re-enables mobile data.

Notice that if you were on 2G, when you will switch to 3G it first connects 2G (G or E) then, after few seconds, you will see 3G/H.

Settings are also consistent with widget status.
[Galaxy S II General] cammel:
And the letters 2g and 3g actually change on the status bar??? Because if I am on let's say 2g and touch the toggle, it doesn't change at all... it stays on 2g all the time...maybe something is wrong here, but I installed latest nightly with a full wipe...weird...

Anyway thanks a lot for your help!

Any special setting btw? Because, with green power I set night mode which disable all data and put it in airplane mode.

Nah, it was just mismerged in Gerrit... codeworkx redid the push and/or did a Gerrit bypass, not sure what - it's in there. The code isn't the problem, it's how codeworkx tried to get it into the repo initially that failed (but it's good now).

Hi guys,

I think this is device or pc specific but everytime since update 23/04 or so, I plug my phone in to any pc with different cables, I get "USB Device not Recognized"

I've downloaded and installed Samsung Kies which is suppose to put a new driver on but no luck.

Toggled between USB Debugging mode... MTP and USB mass storage and no difference.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

[Galaxy S II General] Aroldoa:
Hi guys, how often you used to update your flashes? I´m on 20120423 and don´t known if I need to update everytime a new version is released. I don´t have any trouble in this version and I love it.
[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
On build 0422, tried the sequence "open camcorder, record 1080p, switch to camera, take some pics, switch back to camcorder, record again..." and so forth.

No problems, no fc.

My camera firmware is probably one of the latest (if not THE latest) as my phone went in for warranty service on the camera module (has been changed with a new one).

So I do believe that this is a specific software/firmware version related bug.
[Galaxy S II General] Major_Sarcasm:
Reboot the phone. Worked for me.

Edit: Ahh, sorry you stated 'any pc' and that you've updated a few times so probably not that. I had this happen last night and I rebooted the phone and it fixed it.
[Galaxy S II General] Funkyfin2000:
Has been fine, but when the builds went a bit doo lally and I started getting installs on my SDcard rather than internal it went weird after that...

hmmm...

Have wiped the phone and reupdated etc but no luck....could be hardware related :()
[Galaxy S II General] yahyoh:
after installing latest build 28/4 with wipe cache and dalvik it get stuck at android is upgrading (starting application) :( i think it need wipe data ;)

edit: ok wipe and boot , try cam after shooting video and still fc
[Galaxy S II General] Phistachio:
Use AirDroid to transfer the build and flash it. It should be fixed then.

Ah! Thought so... Because it's quite impossible to not have this kernel merged since it's significantly better than .29 in performance!
[Galaxy S II General] Spyr0s:
Its broken since build 19
[Galaxy S II General] Funkyfin2000:
I know I can use Airdroid and have for updating, but it still doesn't get fixed :(
[Galaxy S II General] MaKTaiL:
Huy guys, I just flashed Cyanogenmod for the first time, full wipe.

I got a problem though, when I booted up there were no APN settings for 3G network.

So I restored my backup of stock LP8. Is this normal?
[Galaxy S II General] dirn1111:
You may want to format your system directory using cwm before flashing any nightly.
[Galaxy S II General] FRLinux:
Erm, care to elaborate? which performance?
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Perhaps it's placebo but I thought .29 kernel was smoother. But I don't know.
[Galaxy S II General] Phistachio:
Particularly flash and overall browser loading & rendering speed. It's now much more fluent. :)

The app drawer and the UI feel smoother too!
[Galaxy S II General] Funkyfin2000:
OK will try this, what will this do? Scuse my ignorance. Thanks for the help, trying this now :)
[Galaxy S II General] jeroc:
The first time I boot CM9 also I don't have any apn, then I rebooted and appeared and 3G run perfectly...
[Galaxy S II General] Funkyfin2000:
Tried it and no change :(

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

I don't even get in the drop down menu about turning on USB support to get access to my internal and external card :(
[Galaxy S II General] dirn1111:
And don't forget that gapps are installed in system partition as well.

so you will need to install gapps.zip too.

but if you already have them on system when you are going to next nightly, and you feel like there's something wrong and want to format system first, you can just flash gapps after flashing nightly. Then the gapps will remain updated even if you flash old gapps.

ps/Which means if you forget to flash gapps after system formatting, you will lose account setting.
[Galaxy S II General] ss1271:
Wonderful work for CM Team.

But can i have a little suggestion?

Is it possible to add a ISO settings in the camera app?

Thats because the samsung stock camera app has that settings and when set to ISO 100 it could amazingly reduce the noise.

Connect a charger to your laptop and the temperature will rise.

[Galaxy S II General] :
Thanks to all those involved in the CM development, especially for this phone. This ROM is almost perfect - the only issues I have is the slightly unresponsive and stiff/hard scrolling, slower browser performance when compared to Gingerbread (tbh, even Samsung's ICS has worse browser performance than their own Gingerbread stock, so I can't blame the CM SGSII devs here) and laggy launcher (that's probably down to the Trebuchet launcher itself, because the Apex launcher runs as smooth as butter with this ROM).

Great works guys, I can't wait for future developments and eventually, a stable release (the nightly builds to appear stable anyway). Much appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] californicated:
I've no problem with browser and launcher. Both fast and smooth :)
[Galaxy S II General] :
For me the browser seems to lag a bit on double tap to zoom, plus text and image smoothing takes a bit longer when compared to Gingerbread. No biggy. The launcher is actually smooth, except when opening the app drawer. There is a very noticeable lag in the animation, which doesn't occur with Apex (even with root for widgets) or Nova.

The installer is opening but as I click install nothing happens as I click cancel it aceepts it and cancel it
[Galaxy S II General] Mechanisms:
If you are using a screen app, like screen filter, shut it down and then you will be able to install apps again.
[Galaxy S II General] gaz617:
Unlikely to be a rom issue, is it just one particular apk? Try other apk's or re-download the one that's not installing, it may be a bad file.
[Galaxy S II General] dirn1111:
when everyone is saying that is normal, I would say no

Because cm9 is awesome, I did not experience heating during charging unlike or former GB roms. so if that is the case let me see if mine does the same or not.

If it does it might be due to kernel change or something.
