Out of memory error

Hi!

I love this app .. I think its far superior to the default camera app.

But!

I was at the zoo and took some photos and the app worked well at time and when it didn't I was getting this error:

Out of Memory: Original photo still saved

Where did it save the original too? How am I out of memory. I looked at the phones memory after that and there was indeed enough free memory!

Could you tell me how to not get this error and if you need me to recreate this error and there is some debugging I'l be happy to help!

Device : Samsung Galaxy S II (SPH-D710)

Carrier : Sprint

Android : 4.1.2

I appreciate any and all help!

After update 28/09/2013 I can't use Focal. :( I have Alcatel OT995 with CM10.2 installed on it. Before this update i could take pictures and videos, but now it's only pink screen with focus ring in the middle. I can choose options, change betwen cameras and video, but there is no picture. Hop you will fix it.

[Android Apps and Games] NoSpamDan:
Same here with the 9/28 update... totally broke Focal for me on Slim 4.3, Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket SGH-I727.

The very first version of Focal worked the best so far for me (when it was part of CM 10.2), with the only main issues being 90º rotation and PicSphere spinning constantly.

Once this hit the market, it took a turn for the worse for me, and the update on 9/28 finished it off. All I get is a red focus ring after the options sidebar loads, and if I press the shutter button I get an error message: "unable to take photo". There are no options for selecting internal or external storage available, but I think there should be based on the change log?

This happens even on a completely clean-wiped install of SlimBean, with "stock" a Play Store restore of Focal.

Logcat already posted in post 375, but I have no idea if it is at all useful or another one is needed...?

If you have Auto-enhance enabled, you might run into the Out of Memory error in some cases for big pictures. In that case, the original non-enhanced picture is still saved.

Hi XpLoDWilD,

thank you for sharing this amazing app!

Could you please setup a DevDB? It will be more organized and we can report bugs in an easier way. :)
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hey

Thanks for the wonderful app ... :D

This is by far the best camera app and the 'most working build' of focal for my device.

I recently downloaded it from GPlay and I found a variety of non working things -

First off I got no preview on my phone ...photo video panaroma photosphere. All of them just show a black screen and widgets

I get some rare force closes and non responsive activities

Also some times ...very very rarely when I open the app ..preview captures the first shot and gets stuck

I can click photos but they don't get saved ..as for videos the show up 'can't play video' error in the gallery...panaroma mode fails to record ...and the photosphere always shows 'at least two pictures error'.

I can delete photos from the app but can't do anything else.

I would seriously love to have this app on my phone ...I can provide u logcats and other messages and even report on GPlay if you want

I have a e612(variant of e610.. almost the same) running CM10.1

I had a request ..if u could upload the older builds here so that I could test them too..

And is there any differences between the donate version? Would surely buy it if I knew it was working..

Regards

Hello XpLoDWilD,

Thanks very much for the amazing app. I face a similar problem as quoted on post # 449. Being a noob and from the field of molecular medicine, all I know of android is how to use it, so forking and fixing as you quoted in your first post is not my cup of tea. Therefore I highly appreciate you guys who advocate open source considering all the expensive software we use in our field. I managed to familiarise myself with logcats and am submitting it as .txt file with this post (hope its properly done).

Looking forward for a more awesome focal.

Best regards

Hi, i finally got Focal to work on my Acer Liquid E2 Duo (mtk device).

The last update made it work, before that i only got FC's

I still have the stock launcher (almost stock Android)

I realy like it. Photo's are much better then the default camera app.

But i do have a strange effect.

Every picture i take is turned to the left and the exif info does not turn it the right side up on my pc.

Even stranger is that if i take a panorama picture, even the display on my phone is turned left (landscape if i hold the phone as portrait)

The final panorama is also turned the wrong way.

Same thing happens on PicSphere.

Any way i can give more info about this effect?

help with t769?

I've had my device rooted for ages, but never went with a custom ROM until now. I'm on the latest CarbonROM and wanted to try out Focal. It's fairly well documented that this isn't currently working. The app opens and all the widgets respond, but I get no activity from the camera itself (no preview). I've installed CatLog and can see a bunch of Java errors - specifically Camera.getParameters failed (empty parameters). What else can I dig up to help get this working - full logcat? filtered logcat? As an aside, the stock camera does work.

The resolution of every picture is only 640x480 pixel. I tried to change the camera megapixel fom 13 to all other options, but always the same, poor resolution.

Second problem, every picture i take is turned to the left and the exif info does not turn it.

BUT- This is the f****ng best camera app on my phone.

this app was working for me every once in while...it would work with one ROM and not another. ive stuck with Beanstalk for the i717 and it was working flawless till i decided to flash an update of the rom, then it stopped again. the rom had a different kernel than the one i was using before. i found that the app worked with certain UBER kernels and not with others. (for me at least) it is now working fine again on Beanstalk with the latest UBER kernel for the i717. this is by far the best camera ive used on the Note. if your having issues with the app maybe try a different kernel to see if that helps.

OPPO Find 5

Hi, I installed newest (20131016) maxwen's AOKP on OPPO Find 5 and it seems he fixed the error with image size.

One thing, can anyone tell me how can i change the default camera app to Focal, like, when i swipe lockscreen to the left it open the camera app and I want this to change to Focal.

Many thanks, IMO Focal focus better and the image now is much sharper :)

Still there should be an option to disable it. Some warnings should be displayed before enabling the option to mute it.

BTW "many" countries, not all. :)

Strange, because most default apps have such an option and a lot of others also.

I would guess it is outlawed in countries were they control the media like China and Russia.
[Android Apps and Games] NZgeek:
I believe that the reason is more due to privacy than control.

It's very easy to take covert photos with a cellphone. Nobody can tell whether you're trying to take a picture, or just using your phone for something else. The shutter sound is there to make it obvious that a photo was taken, in case it causes some sort of privacy violation.

Yes it is. I had quite some things to do first due to Omni/BABBQ, so Focal wasn't my priority. I reviewed some of the patches and did a few fixes however, and pushed an update recently.

This should fix the crash you get on older Samsung devices while taking pictures, centers the camera preview, and fix quite a lot of bugs.

[Android Apps and Games] lklun:
I really appreciate your work!

But what do you mean by "centers the camera preview"? Is it related to this: I have a problem with the actual saved photo not being the same as the preview before I took the picture. For example, if I align the camera so that a e.g a door covers the whole screen, the saved photo is moved slightly to the left. That is, the saved photo contains a part of the door and a part of the wall next to it. The wall could not be seen right before I pressed the shutter.

Using the latest version 1.0-37a5749f31 on my Galaxy Nexus but I had this problem with past versions as well.

Is there anything I can do to help?
[Android Apps and Games] mondokat:
Ok, I have the latest version of focal from the play store. My phone is a d2tmo (galaxy S3 tmobile) and the images seem to be stretched in the preview. Like the aspect ratio is not wide screen, but my screen is, so the image gets stretched (like when you are watching tv in a waiting room). Examining the image after taking a photo, it looks fine though. It's just the preview....

Other than that, it seems quite a bit less buggy, so... cool. :highfive:

One suggestion though, when @ side settings (flash etc), usually people do exit (from the options) with the back key.

Though the back key instantly exits the app.

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] iggdawg:
getting FCs on my HTC One (ATT version, although I think that's irrelevant). Attached is a logcat running from when I open the app to when it crashes. I don't know how to read java-puke, but it looks like the exception is in there. I used "focal" as the logcat filter, I can recreate the issue with more verbose logging if that'd be helpful. The FC manifests specifically as the typical exit to launcher with "unfortunately, Focal has stopped". Tried a force stop / clear data as well as a reinstall, no change.

Historically Focal has worked well on both AOSP and Sense based ROMs. I used it just last night with the version that shipped with Ice Cold Jelly (which is no doubt an older version). I'm back to running sense for the time being, and this is the latest of the donate version from the play store.

I also want this feature!
[Android Apps and Games] darkluna:
Use restart camera app. I posted a link 3post from yours.
[Android Apps and Games] TemporaryAccount1214:
I've been using Focal for a while and unfortunately I have come to the conclusion that the user interface is not an improvement over other camera apps (mainly the Samsung's GS4 stock camera app that I currently use).

- The most used functions, camera and video, should always be available to the user with minimum delay. One of the most common use cases for video is that the user sees something worth filming and needs to get the camera out ASAP. There is no way to do this with the Focal UI concept. In Focal the user must always perform the following:

1. Open camera app.

2. Slide selector open.

3. Navigate to video icon (which may be hidden under user's hand, depending on hand and device size)

4. Lift finger.

5. Press shutter.

What the user wants is:

1. Open camera app.

2. Press video shutter.

The Focal UI is a neat concept but it is not better than AOSP camera. It is actually worse, since on AOSP the video/still selector is always visible. Focal requires an extra gesture before the user can get to the selector.

Thus, with the mode selector, Focal elevates the panorama and photosphere modes to the same level of importance as video. This is counter intuitive. As I described earlier, video is a feature that is often needed ASAP. Panorama and photosphere are camera modes that by nature can not be used in a hurry. Therefore there is little need for them to be on the same importancer level as still and video cameras. When taking panorama and sphere photos, the user always has time to dig one level deeper in the UI. Bringing these items to the topmost level makes most important features more difficult to use.

Since the UI is the core concept of Focal and because that particular concept is, as I describe above, fundamentally flawed I really do not see a lot of purpose in driving the Focal project forward. It was a nice prototype to test the UI concept but since UI trials show that it does not work as well as existing designs, something better should be designed for the UI and effort should be directed towards that.
