[Droid Incredible Android Development] Albinoman:
The pixelation is a preview problem. The camera is 8mp as well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrfluffything:
Is there an updated Gapps for Beta 3?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Albinoman:
Not at the moment
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrfluffything:
Thanks, Just wanted to make sure before I flashed my phone :good:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ferrumlan:
what about battery life?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] arminbosna:
So, although it is showing in the settings that camera is 3MP, it is actually 8MP? Please clarify. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrfluffything:
Hard to tell at the moment. I can confirm though, that the OS is generally much faster than beta 2. Less stutter in apps like Chrome and navigating Text messages and smoother scrolling/animations. Yes, I know butter is now added, but I was referring in terms of CPU and memory usage. Apps are generally more responsive.

The camera definitely still has a weird quirk in preview mode. I can't tell what resolution it's at.

I did notice that I'm facing a weird issue with the vibration settings though, and I'm not sure if it's just my phone. The keyboard vibrate-on-touch settings are enabled, but I don't get any vibrations. Sometimes when typing furiously I can hear little clicks coming from the motor as if it's trying to spin up but the OS isn't telling it to spin for long enough. Anyone else notice this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GnatGoSplat:
Is Beta 3 using Tiny's kernel, or does that still need to be installed separately?

Does GAPPS for B2 work on B3, or do we need to wait for a new GAPPS?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Albinoman:
Yes it includes tiny's kernel. Use the gapps in the OP
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xport:
Looks like the camera's photos are still 3MP (2048*1536=3,145,728). I had the wierd preview issue the first time I launched the camera, but since its been OK, the settings do not go any higher than 3MP. Pics before (in CM9 were 3264*2448=7,990,272 or 8MP)

Thanks for all the work Albino!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pbaden:
Nope. 3.1. But I can still get 8.0 with camerazoomfx.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] GnatGoSplat:
Awesome, thanks for all your hard work. I'm excited to try this when I get home.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Albinoman:
Well ill look into the camera.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobAbooE:
Thanks man. You are going to be a super busy guy today answering questions.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Albinoman:
Enjoy it. Its already starting
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrfluffything:
Not sure if this is related or another component, but when certain apps try to access the camera for barcode scanning they're still stuttery like the old camera was. Might this be related?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NYZack:
I'm definitely getting 8MP photos, though the preview is definitely buggy. There is an option to select 3 or 8MP.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Albinoman:
Has anyone here used evervolvs newest version? Does theirs show 8mp in settings?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xport:
Anyone get any wifi tethering to work? I might need it this weekend...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrfluffything:
I've noticed that when using the optical trackball to scroll through text, it's extremely jumpy. I can scroll from the beginning of one line to the end of a paragraph in a single swipe. Anyone else notice this? It's not too much of an issue as I can just use the onscreen cursor now, but I still default to that sometimes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pbaden:
Huh. I must be looking in the wrong place or something.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NYZack:
Touch the three dots all the way to the left of the settings. The preview is often so buggy that it's hard to see sometimes (and for some reason I can't take a screenshot of the camera view).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrfluffything:
I discovered that I do not have the option to go up to 8MP, and I am stuck on 3MP. I'm using the same options menu that you are. I only have options VGA through 3M pixels. This is after a clean wipe and installing the B2 Gapps.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pbaden:
Yeah, that's what I'm doing. It won't let me go higher that 3mp. I can decrease it, but 3 is max on mine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NYZack:
Hmm. Well, I admit that I flashed on top of Evervolv's most recent build, so maybe I'm seeing some remnant of the Evervolv build.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xport:
Same here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrfluffything:
That sounds likely. I did a clean wipe and am still having issues, so it's definitely within the Beta 3 and not from previous installs. Glad someone's camera works :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pmsrefugee:
In settings go to Language and Input then at the bottom you'll see where you can adjust the pointer speed to slow it down.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mrfluffything:
That fixed it. :eek:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jschill31:
Hello,

Download camera ICS from the market, it's a free app and it allows you to bump up to 8 megapixel. The camera preview is much less flaky as well. I am certainly getting 8mp pictures...Excellent work!

Yes, that's it. I just hit the minus button once (-25mV) in both columns
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Albinoman:
That's weird.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] arminbosna:
Thank you! Installing Camera ICS did fix the problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jschill31:
No need to thank me but be sure to use the "Thanks" button on the OP. I am sure he has invested a lot of time bringing this to our Inc's.:good:
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mh0520:
I wasn't having any problem using 8MP on evervolv, for what its worth. I also tried reverting to evervolv then flashing over that with Beta 3. Again, I had 8MP on evervolv but not on Beta 3.

Also, if you're accepting requests for added features the expandable volume control that CM9 and CM10 have is really handy. :)

Thanks for all the hard work on this. JB is really coming along nicely thanks to you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tmoney468:
I get a FC every time I go into Settings -> Display -> Brightness. Anyone else have this issue? Other than that this ROM is pretty sweet and FAST. Really like JB over ICS
[Droid Incredible Android Development] arminbosna:
I second that. I also expereince same behavior when I go Settings -> Sound -> Volume. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WannaBeSedated:
Won't load...

Did anyone have an issue getting Beta 3 running? I've loaded it twice and my phone is hung at the "X". First time I've had this issue beyond a simply pull battery/reboot always resolved. This time, not so much! I've let it sit almost 20 minutes on that screen and it goes no further. Here's what I've done.

Install ZIP (Sym Link error) / Reset & Install ZIP (Sym Link error) / Delete ZIP, Re-download ZIP, & Install ZIP (hangs) / Reset to Factory (hangs) / Reset & Install ZIP again (hangs)

Any thoughts? Up to now, I've never really had any issues getting these (or any) ROMs really going, so I'm a bit perplexed over this. :crying:

Cheers...

I had the same issue with Beta 2. Still trying to get Beta 3 loaded, but not getting any love.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] devo4040:
I got the same thing, I know the Brightness caused a FC in Beta 2, don't remember if Volume did
[Droid Incredible Android Development] blackstallion:
Anyone know why I am now unable to complete a successful nandroid backup? CWM will tell me there is an error in backing up /data. I look at the /data directory on my root directory and it's actually empty. I've never had an issue with failed nandroid backups like this, I was even able to successfully nandroid backup beta 2 when I first installed it and tinys incredible kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] nathansnyder:
I'd start by making sure you have enough space on your SD card.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] devo4040:
Just wanted to say that the stock Camera is only giving me the 3m but if I use Camera Zoom FX it takes 8m pictures that look just fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] EShow:
Do I need to erase data and then install each time there is a new beta, or can I just flash over the previous one?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
For those who are having issues with stock camera not showing 8MP, which gapps are you using? If you're using gapps that have gallery2.apk in them, they could be overriding the stock gallery2.apk in the ROM. I dirty flashed from beta2 and have a working 8MP. The gapps I used are the 7/26 gapps from goo.

Also with regards to the lack of speed, I don't think HWA or the butter is fully implemented yet. I know the changes to interactive needed for project butter aren't in the kernel yet but I'm working on that part.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobAbooE:
I swear I have used nova launcher before but it added a lookout icon, is this normal?

And I use power amp to scan my SD and play music.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
I flashed over beta2 but your mileage may vary. Need to flash gapps if you flash over still.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Albinoman:
Well I guess I have to make new gapps then. You're right its not fully working at this point but it is a close as I can get it without messing with the kernel.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DustinBooyah:
Same here, Camera Zoom FX is on point for me.

This ROM is unreal though. Very well done sir!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Anything wrong with the 7/26 gapps on goo.im?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 7he Messiah:
For what it's worth, I'm on the following GAPPS from Evervolv, and I have a functional 8MP camera:

http://twitter.com/MongooseHelix/status/236198626609745920
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WannaBeSedated:
So, I've noticed a few negative comments on the GApps file. When I loaded Beta 2 and GApps, I was getting duplicate camera apps AND one (1) of the Camera's didn't work while the other did. Does someone have a location for a known good GApps file for Beta 3?

After three (3) fresh clean installs, I finally got Beta 3 loaded. As I've not installed GApps yet, I can say that something "odd" is going on with the built-in camera app. I'm getting all sorts of noise and screen artifacts. It appears to take photos cleanly, but the "view screen" gets jacked up. All other bugs previously mentioned are definitely confirmed.

So, who has the best GApp ZIP? :) Thanks in advance!

Cheers...

PS. Awesome job, Albino! If this gets any better AND I am sure it will, I will not be buying a new phone anytime soon. Absolutely re-loving my Droid Incredible all over again!!!! :good:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] 7he Messiah:
Yeah, it's running very well, battery is about what I was seeing on P7 from Evervolv, so that's good. I had some odd instability right after flashing, like the touchscreen went crazy and it took a reboot to fix it, but it's been good for me all day.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Shakes27:
Multitouch leaves the input frozen on the screen until I touch the screen again, idk if anyone else has reported this bug yet. Can get a logcat if you want one

EDIT: Also, amazing work albino! This is extremely quick and responsive already. I just recently bought a used incredible, and coming from the hero I'm awed by the talent in this phone's developing community.

My camera is all jacked up too when i view the pic or even take the pic but the pic comes out perfect at great resolution. I'm on evervolv p7 with tiny kernel any idea what going on and would a app work better?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jiktheworm:
Well, this is amazing, and I can deal with the camera being faulty right now, but....since I've flashed beta 3, there's not a media player in the world that can see my music.

Play, oldschool Music, Cubed, n7, PowerAMP...none of them see a damn thing. I've tried everything I know to refresh Android, but to no avail.

Anyone else having this problem?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kramer56:
My music ids playing with app that came with my Rom, so not sure your issue
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 7he Messiah:
You might try a fresh install, as bad as that sounds.. I have had on and off media recognition issues with JB; for example, on my previous ROM (Evervolv P7), it took about two days to get a new folder full of MP3s to show up. I didn't do a damned thing, it just happened a couple of days after I'd given up hope on them. Also, I don't remember which build it was, but one of them I flashed and had no visible music at all like you describe, and I couldn't make it work at all (just restored a backup to my previous (and fully functional) JB install).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobAbooE:
Did you rescan your folders and click them all in power amp? That's how it found mine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Aeckert:
It's amazing seeing the slightest speed increases. This truly is buttery!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Dragn4rce:
Um I have a HUGE problem with the camera. :(

I could sure use your guys help, getting me back onto Albinoman's jellybean!

Hey guys,

I've been rocking Beta 2 since it came out, and right before Beta 3 came out, then I had a little mishap with my phone when I was trying to troubleshoot the "low space notification" by flipping between nandroid backups and I made a mistake, now I'm having difficulty getting root without adb (my ADB is now broken, it even locks up my computer until I unplug the phone).

If any of you guys could lend a hand, I could sure use some help here on the thread I just made:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30636850

Thank you all, and thanks Albinoman for all the work you've done on this ROM, you've mad some amazing progress! OMG... butter... really?!? :P

(also, now I'm really jealous, I can't even try the ROM I was waiting so anxiously for :P)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Great Offender:
The rom is smoother. Anyone having problems with the camera and 8mp should try using Evervolv's gapps. This has given me the ability to change mp's. Rom seems to have lost the ability to read the sd card in some cases. I keep a collection of custom ringtones, notifications, etc... on the the sd card in a folder "media" that is no longer being read by beta 3. Poweramp sees them but the rom doesn't. Gallery used to see pictures that I had synced with Picasa but no longer.

I suggest a clean wipe and install as I had issues with a flash over. Not at first but later in day.

Honestly I couldn't care less about Brightness or Volume. Maybe that's just me.

This is not to say that I am not enjoying the new rom and appreciate all of the hard work that went into it. I realize that creating these roms is a selfless act.

Wish list:

Lock screen

Pull down menu to replace the widget (wifi, gps, etc...)

Ability to change battery widget

(I realize these were things that were in the ICS akop but I miss them just the same)

In the mean time I am very, very, happy with the rom. Thank you!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NYC Coyote:
Honestly yes.. that's a biggie.. the ability to change the battery to the different battery percentage choices would be great... can't believe google still doesn't have it as standard.

Other things may come and go (such as the toggles in the notification).. but to know how much battery you are at without needing a widget.. that is key.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DustinBooyah:
uberMusic is working well for me. It also allows the volume rocker to change tracks which is freaking awesome
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Great Offender:
YES
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kurejikame:
I completely agree; however, wasn't the battery percentage implemented in beta 2? Mine shows up in the little battery bar.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] devo4040:
I have had the battery percent since beta 2 as well...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Albinoman:
What other choices would you want?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jschill31:
Hello,

Actually just being able to adjust the brightness as well as turn off the battery percentages would be frickin great! Everyone who is having camera issues please read the posts... All you need to do is download Camera ICS from the market and it will fix your preview as well as allow boosting to 8mp.

Cheers

Mine's there too except due to my advanced? age. The numbers are very small and hard to read.

Would like to see the numbers only. Maybe it's just me but if I see the #% than I really don't need a graphical representation of the bar.

Edit: I did try to get this cooked in the UOT kitchen but it did not take.

Thanks for all of your hard work Albinoman, you really have resurrected the DInc.

My wishlist for Santa:

Your own GApps (not Evervolv)

If possible when you are playing music when you're on the lock screen make the Album Artwork take up the full screen not just the top HALF

Fix USB Tether (System, no apps required)

So far no problems except camera.

Once you have an official Stable Release out ill have to send you a donation!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sid3091:
WOW. Iv'e been holding off on using this ROM and now i cant think of why.

Anyway some minor bugs, Camera is at 3MP, some settings FC, and the scrolling is not super smooth as say with go launcher.

Also, go keyboard tends to shut down my phone, although i dont think thats limited to this phone
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lukkypuggy:
Are you using Alpha? Possibly Beta 2?

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 AM ----------

All I can recommend is to wipe data/dalvik, clear cache and reinstall Beta 3 and GApps.

This is most likely your problem.

HIT THE THANKS!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WannaBeSedated:
If you read back in the posts, you'll see many people having the same issue. It's a bit broke right now. The preview is jacked up but the images come out fine. You're not alone!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] bobAbooE:
Use camera ics from the market
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NYZack:
Loving this. Would also really like the ability to change tracks on Play Music when screen is off, using volume control. When I use volume control for this, instead of changing to next/previous track it strangely plays notification sounds (possibly ones that are stored on my SD card).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Bonkurei:
this could be a temporary fix as i also using it beside hdr camera+ but im still @ beta 2

taking a picture with same object and position

hdr camera+ : 2420 x 3124

camera ics+ : 2448 x 3264
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mh0520:
So, if we're allowed to be a little greedy...

I mentioned the expandable volume control being very nice to have.

Also, it seems CM10 introduced a nice little notification count in their statusbar settings. That would also be great.

Notification toggles and more battery icon options would also be great to have.

I think that should do it for being demanding.

Thanks again for all your work. This is the best ROM I've used on the incredible by far!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] WannaBeSedated:
Have to agree with MH on this one. I know I posted this back a while that I really got to liking the expanded vol bar when using CM.

Good advice here. Just tested Camera ICS and it worked perfectly without any defects on the preview. Looks like we should kill the camera in the apps package. :good:

As a side note, is anyone else seeing a weird anomaly with the built-in email application? I keep getting notifications for my Gmail account for messages that are in my Inbox but were received long ago. It seems to mainly happen when I delete messages that it occurs. Don't think I ever saw this with the "Gmail" application that was default on my Dinc. Just wondering if I should re-install that one and ask that it get included in the GApps ZIP.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
I agree if they were the same, but it looks like the JB+ has more features than stock ICS and JB cameras, as well as the ICS camera app from the Play Store.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rotaryboots:
So far its better than the ICS rom I had loaded previously. Much smoother. The camera is easily remedied by really any other camera app on the store, so if that's the only real issue with this rom right now, then this will be a DD for a while.

Thanks for all the work Devs.
