Photography has nothing to do with gear. You can buy all the gear you want, but that's not going to give you magical photos. The best camera is the one you have on you. I'm a professional and I shoot with 2 DSLRs and I do commercial events. Do I have those on me 24/7? No. So the best camera in my pocket right now is my iPhone 5. If something happens right now that I need a photo, what do I do? Drive home and grab my SLRs and come back 1 hr later?

Anyway, this isn't a debate on what camera people should be using, or what a true photographer uses. What I'm saying is what is someone using as the criteria for saying the stock camera is rubbish? Is it image quality? That's all. I'm asking a simple question and you had to get rude with me.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
I'll buy it. Just for the lulz.

Koush and Cyanogen have already bought it.

Currently i'm using the Xperia Z besides my Nexus 4.

[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
Try a stock ROM to rule out hardware failure because if the vibrator isn't working even after a full wipe then something is definitely wrong.

Those who know photography also use a DSLR to click photographs. You can't really argue about the quality of photos from a phone with stock & after market firmware. The best way is to test it is by comparing sample pictures.

Also I believe he was calling the stock ROM rubbish.

HTC One use a Qualcomm processor, the Snapdragon 600.

[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Sorry, you're right. He was talking about stock ROM.

Certainly I can go test, but I'm asking if other people have tested. I'm wondering if stock camera gives better image quality or CM, or is it roughly even. I've moved onto a Nexus so it's pretty much no difference in my case, but I'm wondering for the SGS2, since it's difficult to develop and all these driver issues, if the camera yields lower quality. This helps me decide if an S4 or HTC One is worth buying. As good as these cameras are, how good are they after CM 10.1 is installed.

hi just a question to CM devs

can you guys make the feature of samsung roms that even in full screen apps you can pull the notification center by pulling from the top of the screen twice?

that would be huge! really miss that from samsung roms and well sorry for saying the bad word but iOS
[Galaxy S II General] elitevet:
I never said that, you are lying and the proof is two posts above, which makes your lie a pretty stupid one.

If you make it look like quote, take a honest moment and quote what I said and not what fits your agenda. By the way, it was you, who brought in "those who know photography", I was merely quoting you.

The second part of your statement is so subjective and ridiculous, that I am not even starting to think to regard it.

[Galaxy S II General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I apologize. Here's what you said. Still, I don't see why you need to say that. And that was the second part of my statement. Maybe you didn't mean to be rude, but it certainly sounds like it.

Please take a good look at what I wrote originally.

The intent behind that was to say that photo taking is only really dictated by those 3 things, so stock and CM shouldn't perform radically different unless there's a software limitation or driver issue. And that's what I'm getting. My original question is still about how does CM and stock camera perform. But if no one has the answer to that, it's fine. Let's not argue though.

I remember reading a while ago about gallery crashing when trying to save an edited picture. I have encountered this bug today on the latest nightly and experienced something that may help on the issue.

I wanted to troubleshoot the issue by having my phone connected to my mac while running adb logcat. I then edited a photo in gallery and tried to save it. The photo saved successfully with no errors. I then disconnected my phone from my computer and tried to edit a photo. This time when I tried to save the edited photo, gallery3d crashes.

Bugs are funny that way. Try using catlog app form the market. Start recording the log & then try to recreate the crash.

This isn't a feature request thread. If you want something in CM then to you add a feature request ticket to JIRA & hope that someone see gets it implemented.

You can get real & move on.

Hi !

I had the same issue on 14/04 Nightly. Here is my solution, I mean it worked for me :

With file manager (with root access activated), go in system/apps. Find galery2 apk and reinstall it by open it simply with file manager. You must activate "Unknown sources" before, in security parameters.

I would mention that just cleared cache never worked for me before the solution explained above.

Let a feedback in any case please (worked or not).

Good day !
[Galaxy S II General] tryptophane:
No this issue hasn't been fixed yet. I hope it will some day, because for me it's a major issue. Having the date in the exif is quite important. To sort my pictures on the pc i wrote a shell script which picks the date from the exif tags, can't do it that way anymore. And snapseed hanging while loading the pictures is bad too, as in my opinion it's the best picture editing app out there... Wish I had the time to try to fix the bug, elheer did a very good job analysing it, so it should be feasible:

dumpstate ril reset....... /data/log

I would like to confirm I was having problems in installing and/or updating apps because of lack of space.

I found out by searching this topic that the problem was the "dumpstate ril reset" thing. I found 1266 files of this tipe, each one of about 1MB. What impresses me is that, by the time of creation of each file, my EMMC might have a very powerfull write velocity.

Continuing, in case it is usefull for the developers, just in case this might be a cm issue, not only a baseband issue, I inform that I'm using april 2nd 10.1 CM nightlies.

I installed Get RIL but it didn't have a ready solution for my case, and, since I'm a lawyer, I'm not ok to test solutions for now. I'm having some instability with my radio, with internet and calls, but no crashes. The deleted files were too much to be shared, I hope they were not really usefull to you. If they are, ask me and, if they come back, I'll post them somewhere. For now I guess I'll keep with the solution proposed for symlinking /data/log and /dev/null

aLogCat

Is it just with me, or is it normal that sLogCat doesn't show absolutely ANYTHING?

I have april 2nd 10.1 CM nightlies, and I find strange that since I installed it, I can't get any logs.

I also tried "adb logcat" but it just waits and nothing comes. I was trying to get logs to find a reason why I was having (and I still have) bootloop problems, but I couldn't get them. In the beginning I thought that the bootloop was happening before logcat started, but now I see that it's not coming at all.

I tried "adb shell" and it works.

By the way: I complained that I was getting bootloops and I was suggested to reinstall CM (without factory reset), flush cache, flush dalvik cache and then fix permitions. I've been folowing all of that everytime it happends again, but I want to know one more thing: if I download the latest nightly built, may I still folow these instructions? That means: may I do NOT make a factory reset if I want to have the latest one?
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
This is most probably caused by an incompatible modem - ril combination, it's strongly recommended not to use ril files from any version prior jelly bean!

But it's quite easy to fix, just flash any modem.zip from the desired thread which contains ril files and is marked as jelly bean.

If you want to use another modem (elder ones) extract the modem .bin first and use Odin /mobile Odin to do so.

Don't mess with ril files.

You could also simply replace the files, set permission and reboot.

Good luck

is it possible to enable to rotate in lockscreen?

if I get a message from whatsapp with a popup notification and rotate the phone, it works. Also, if I close the popup the lockscreen will show in landscape for a brief time and then will rotate back to original even with phone in horizontal position.

it happened sometimes to suddenly stop playing music while I was listening (Apollo). I have to press play again and the first music played is the first I listened when started Apollo before the crash.

also, when that happened I saw the lockscreen blinking very fast among all lockscreen widgets, so fast that I could take a screenshot of that.

Codeworkx, Is this not possible by looking at 4.1.2 samsung firmwares? I used Wanamlite (14.4) Based on latest Jelly Bean FW LSN 4.1.2 recently and my Provider was always shown as EE.

hi

I have a problem with my modem/ril combo. After 3 or 2 days my phone is always creating some log files "logcat cp boot radio" and sometimes i lost my signal.

It can't be so hard to fix. After all, it's just about writing the exif-data into the picture-file according to the specs. It shouldn*t be that difficult! It's not the same as writing some functionality where you would need the sources or api for some exynos libs, in this case everything is well known. It's just a small bug somewhere in the code that has to be found. But unfortunately, nobody else seems to care :(

[Galaxy S II General] d_Schizzo:
It has nothing to do with Mr. Arrogant. But there was no need to post the "secret solution" twice. The guy 2 post above yours has already said it.

In case of some weird issues it is better to flash a stockrom with pit and then root the phone and make a clean flash of the CustomRom again.

But your advise with root, reboot twice, and connect to kies, flash this rom and then that rom etc. is let me say "noob-like".
