Did someone found a difference in sharpness and noise(high ISO) between AOSP and Stock based roms? I have the sensation of some kind of blurred images when i use AOSP ... :confused:

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
stock camera takes better images, yes
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
images will blur if you've not got a steady hand. Its more apparent to me on aosp cameras
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLooD_LorD:
Stock Camera shoots better videos, audio quality is defenatly better, but also pics quality :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Hmm disagree there. Yes, the stock AOSP maybe, but once you use the modded one with ultrapixel, you'll wonder why everyone thinks the Sammy camera is better (until you get into low light or if you have Parkinsons or something)

Thanks! :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
There are literally no bad cameras, AOSP or not, only bad photographers. I mean, the One doesn't have the best camera around but there are some awesome shots to be taken with it, if you're a master photographer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
All phone cameras have their own issues. Its hardware mainly. Compare the s3 camera to almost any dedicated compact of the same "on paper" specs and you'll see.

Oems just can't afford to make the phone camera that good. With the S3, its low light. With the Xperia T its the flash....

That said, you can get some good shots with them. Its just the tolerance on the perfect conditions is much smaller than a compact.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mord0rr:
Newbiee question.

Does the use of 3º party software changes anything?

I say this because i use for photos "Camera FV-5" software...and i think is sometimes much better than stock one (at least has more options).

Using Last Sentinel Rom.

Tks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It uses all the existing drivers and libraries for the device, but often a different app can bring additional / different functionality with it.

Same focal point and 8MP on both pictures.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorreis777:
Not at all, my friend. A bad camera (and bad lenses) can ruin a good photo, for example :chromatic aberration and moiré... ;) But i agree about who is working with the camera...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mord0rr:
Im a litle confuse here.....

So, since i use a AOSP ROM (Liquid Smooth 2.5) and a 3º party software, i have worse photos than original ROM?

Apart the photographer detail, is this correct?:confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kornhans:
Yes. I Love SlimKat and SOKP (also CM11 with my previous phone), BUT the picture quality is worse compared to stock sammy roms. Fully working HDR mode is not easy in AOKP roms.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadMix:
Hello everybody,

Can you please tell me which custom ROM I should install to get the best camera (photos&videos) experience?

I´m running LiquidSmooth right now and although I have great battery and high customisation, photos and videos aren´t really that great, specially comparing to the original Samsung ROM the phone came with.

Can you please help suggesting me some other options?

Thank you all!

It'll sit there like it wants too but the d/l won't ever start. I have full bars and full 3g.... Anyone have any thoughts as to why?? Oh yea play store will download things over wifi

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Zeke757:
This is going to sound odd but I need to brick my phone and I need ideas. I have the best buy protection plan for the phone and I can't reset the phone due to the phone not charging since the charging port at the bottom of the phone has too much play in it. And no I don't snatch the cord out when charging and I baby this phone.

Anyway enough babbling. The phone can't be unrooted due to the loose port and I need to figure how to brick it or what way would you suggest I break it to do the exchange. Run it over maybe? I don't need it to turn on.

Thanks.

And please no moral mumbo jumbo crap on a site where we talk rooting and unrooting all or the time.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanCC:
My S3 was working fine in my pocket, plenty of battery, went to use it and it was completely dead. I've removed battery, SIM, and SD and left for a while, given a good charge, but still no sign of life whatsoever. Tried another battery also.

I've even removed the back (10 screws inside battery cover) and blown with some compressed air, but no different.

Any ideas? It is under 12 months old so Orange UK will take it for repair, but I believe the first thing they do is wipe all data. I've got a lot of app data (non Google sync) that I'd rather not lose.

Any suggestions (before I send it off)?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
you said you gave it a good charge - so does it react to charging? can you access download mode? have you tried a different battery? what ROM did you have before this happened?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Could be sds, in which case data is gone. By the way, removing screws invalidates warranty so if they notice, you may cone unstuck
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanCC:
Doesn't react to charging at all. Totally lifeless, so no Download mode possible. I tried a mate's battery from his S3, no good. I was running cyanogen, from about 6 months ago, I forget which version.

I appreciate that both the ROM and screw removal would invalidate the warranty, but I guess they won't know about the ROM if either they can't boot it, or do a full wipe when they get the phone - I'm guessing they use a very high intensity magnetic field or something? And I've been pretty careful with the screws!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No they can't tell about the ROM. They'll be replacing the internal memory completely and throwing yours away. There's nothing retrievable on it. No come backs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
that's what you get for running a 6 month old ROM
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanCC:
The reason was that a certain app (important for me) wasn't updated (due to legal action) to run on the newer Android version (JB).

Thanks for the help anyway :) Actually, do you think the ROM is likely to be the cause?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
it is definitely the cause. the kernel didn't have the SDS fix, check the General section
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BossStang:
A eMMC chip type:VTU00M with firmware-rev:0xf1 get corrupt with older 4.0 and 4.1.1 kernels, and instead freezes with early 4.1.2 JB kernels. (if i remember correctly)

rootsu has made an sds (sudden death syndrome) thread if ju want to know more.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanCC:
Actually, it was the camera at fault.

Fixed under warranty by EE/Orange, with no questions about my having opened the back up or the Custom ROM, probably as they would have been unable to easily tell due to it being totally dead
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I'm sorry but I think they're pulling your leg. The symptoms match sds completely.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanCC:
Maybe - but I can't imagine why, unless the tech was in a particularly generous mood that day?

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mikeandnatasha:
My phone ( Blaze 4 G 4.04 ) only charges to 75% . Tried every charger imaginable and Ive changed batteries with new, calibrated as best as I can with not 100% showing etc. My problem is that the 75% is actually 100% charged. I pull the battery out and put it in my wife or sons identical Blaze 4G and it shows 100% on their phones. If I charge a battery to 100% in their phones and put it in mine it shows 75% . Battery fresh off the standalone charger shows 75% . I havent found a way to change the calibration of the meter and Ive tried ALL the battery calibrator apps. The problem is that when the battery discharges towards the low range I get the warnings etc even though the battery is actually still half charged. Ive tried everything and no calibrator apps do a damned thing to the meter itself. I wiped the phone with the factory reset this morning and still 75% after the phones been on the charger all day.

Any ideas ? I dont really want to flash a custom ROM as I use the wifi calling feature and no one seems to have figured out how to incorporate that into the custom ROM's out there plus the external SD card ID seems to get lost with the Blaze custom ROM's too.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] theprogram1:
What do you mean by the external card SD card ID? The external cards works flawlessly in the custom roms. And that's very rude saying, "no one seems to have figured out how to incorporate that (wifi calling) into the custom ROM's," The devs have lots of things into their hands, if you need it so much why don't you figure it out?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Romman0:
The only way to actually wipe the battery stats is with cwm. You can flash cwm with Odin and not touch the rom. Also custom roms based off stock ics have working wifi calling.

But I think the issue may be with your phone, so wiping battery stats/flashing a rom will probably not work, I have seen this on a different devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mikeandnatasha:
Ive flashed half a dozen ROM's on this phone, my sons phone and my wifes phone. None of them gave normal access to the external SD card. I could play music off them and movies etc but none of the file access programs would open the SD card file directory. Ive seen other people complain about that too. .Ended up going back to the factory ROM to be able to have normal external SD access and to be able to use the wifi calling.

And no, no one has developed a ROM that can use the wifi calling feature. Seems like one of the first things that would get cloned but whatever. I'm just a mechanical engineer not a software developer so writing my own code is beside my pay grade. Only reason I bought these phones in the first place was the integral wifi calling. Not the greatest phones either. My sons drops wifi after 15 minutes every time. Mine won't show a full charge on a full charge and then wigs out at the bottom of its charge cycle. I'll be using them in the trap launcher in 11 months once the contract is up. Pull.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mikeandnatasha:
Could you recommend a stable ROM that has the working wifi calling feature? None that I have tried would allow for wifi calling. I gave up trying a few months ago when the factory ICS came out and my CWM got blown away by Kies. Of course my new laptop is windows 8 which isnt playing well with Odin. Gives me a reason to boot my son of my old win 7 desktop. He spends too much time on those computer games anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Romman0:
Anything based off 4.0.4, like Blaz3r and Tweaked from the first page, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mikeandnatasha:
Got nothing to lose so lets try yet another ROM. I couldnt find a copy of blaz3r . seems as though the link is dead. I did reroot the phone and get tweaked installed. Its going through start up now. We will see how it performs. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mikeandnatasha:
Well, that didnt work. The meters stuck at 77% yet actually fully charged. I do like the tethering and hot spot capabilities of the new ROM though.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] theprogram1:
Ok I suggest flashing a jellybean rom. And for the external sd card issue you've had it's under storage and sdcard1. Try it it's going to work. It's not inside external sd in sd card. I recommend using root explorer going storage/sdcard1
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mikeandnatasha:
The external card access didnt work with CM10 and a few other jelly bean ROM's Ive tried. Yes, I tried all sorts of ways to access it through file explorer programs.

As far as charging, the factory ICS ROM was working fine until a few weeks ago. My wife and sons blazes work fine with the factory ICS ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mikeandnatasha:
No go on the jelly bean. Same thing. Charges to 75 % or so and the battery dies completely within 4-5 hours. Called up T-mobile and I'm 1 day past the warranty period. Oh joy.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Morganmachine91:
The external and internal sdcards work in every JB ROM that's currently available on xda for the blaze. The reason you can't find them is user error, not the ROM. Solid Explorer makes it really easy, but if you just want the file path to both its /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/external_sd

Try 'su cd /mnt' and then 'ls' in the terminal emulator or with adb shell and they'll show up. Then you just have to learn how to use your file explorer software of choice.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] themdg:
Did you ever find a solutions (or explanation) for this? I"m having the exact same problem, and have tried rrrrvrything to fix it. Infuriating. Mine stops at either 20% or 75%.

Nope. Tried every operating system under the sun and every sort of reset method there is. Different batteries, chargers etc. Nothing worked. Boat anchor. Sporting a S4 now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] csandman1977:
So I've done the whole rom flashing thing a bunch. Hd2, infuse, note 2, mytouch and I've never had this happen.

I can flash any tw rom I want amd no problems at all. But no matter what aosp or non tw rom, I can never pass the bootanimation.

I've tried PA, carbon, liquid, and beanstalk. All of them with gaps and without gaps, Tried multiple downloads of each.

Let the boot animation run for 15 minutes. I did download straight to my phone as I don't have access to a computer.

To be honest I was just wanting to play around with 4.2.2 but when I couldn't get it to run it pissed me off and now I'm on a mission.

Don't know what else to try and amy help would be appreciated.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] csandman1977:
I download the roms and the gaps. Boot into twrp and do all my wipes 3 times. System, dalvik, cache. Install rom. Install gaps. Reboot.

I've tried without the gaps. I've wiped dalvik after that also like some roms suggest.

I chalked it up to bad download at first but all of them? I may try again with a different browser.

Tried boat browser and Firefox. Both hang at boot animation

I'm on cleanrom 4.7 now. Glad I made a backup!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] csandman1977:
I figured it out. I had grabbed the new beanstalk build before it was pulled. For some reason when I tried to flash it, it added a seperate folder in my internal sdcard and moved every file into it. For some reason trying to flash from that new folder wouldn't work. Twrp wouldn't see anything in the old folder.

I moved the ROM and gapps to the external card and everything flashed perfectly.

Weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
That hidden folder is a legacy folder. .

It's placed as a safeguard during the flash process. ..in the event that data/media...or other important files get deleted. .

The TWRP recovery will prevent deletion of the media files. ..but CWM does not. .

You can still delete your EFS and other critical partitions with TWRP..but they warn you first where CWM does not. .

The legacy folder can be used to restore deleted data later if a problem occurs. ..And should be left there when using roms with modified file structures like CM....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] csandman1977:
Thank you for the info. Was just weird that I can't flash from that folder anymore.
