Guys i need some serious help with this. I'm using a note 2 gt-n7100 with c-rom. I flashed latest fix here thinking it would help me with my cam as it is for all aosp.. I know that was stupid..

Anyway after flashing, clearing cashe and dalvik and rebooting, the camera app wasn't there. I have no camera app at all! Before flashing i had a second camera app too, i couldn't find it either..

Anyway to fix this?

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

I deleted rohancamera.sh from system/addon

Checked system apps and i found that camera2.apk was installed there (the other camera app, couldn't find the original rom built in app.. )

Went to recovery and wiped dalvik and cache, rebooted but still i cant find any camera app in my app drawer..

What are the original files that i need to paste from the rom? Because i don't wanna dirty flash..

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards.

So,any news about the camera? Still no port from kitkat port ?

I really want to go back to AOSP.

EDIT: Anyone knows how to fix lag spikes during recording? it's smooth,but tends to lag at moments.

Hello,

I have Slimkat 4.4.2 build 5 installed and I also get the "can't connect camera"; I'd like to install this fix but I don't know what version to take, CM or Omnirom ?

First post recommends CM for slim roms but others posts recommend Omnirom version for Slimkat...

I'm a bit confused... Thank you for helping me choosing the right fix ;)

Any help???
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] andrewwright:
As you have flashed a file for a different model of phone dirty flashing would be pointless. I would bkup files and go back to stock with Odin and have a clean phone. Good luck with this and for you're phone's sake don't do this again :rolleyes:

remember

Flashing is easy...fixing is not.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mbl007:

[MENTION=3814993]RohanAJoshi[/MENTION] man please help me with this.. I flashed it by mistake on my note 2 n7100.. It deleted the camera apps i had.. I deleted the rohancamera.sh and wiped dalvik and cache but nothing worked.. What are the files i need to manually copy and paste from rom? Is this fixable without dirty flashing or a new clean install? Is it even fixable with dirty flashing?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] andrewwright:
It's recommended mate. Or extract camera and gallery apk from rom zip and put in system/app set permission for both and reboot.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mbl007:
Already tried that.. It didn't work.. When i did this i got the camera app back. When i clicked on it it said cant connect to camera.. Then the camera app disappeared again :/ is there any lib file i need to restore from c rom? I'm trying anything because i don't wanna dirty flash..

P.S : gallery is working fine.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mbl007:
I dirty flashed but it didnt work... Help :(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mbl007:
eventually what's happening is that system camera apps won't work, flashed Google camera and it also didnt

Work.. But i installed a camera apk (user app and its working.. ) please any help i want my system cameras :(

P.S : in titanium backup i tried to convert google camera to a user app but i couldn't even find it! Not listed in apps.. Also system camera app won't get deleted nor converted.. It says couldn't find apk or path for apk or something..

Any help?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] reyonston485:
can these libs nd camera app can solve the camera bug on cm11 roms?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] RohanAJoshi:
don't worry, just dirty flash your rom again after deleting rohancamera.sh, this will bring back your camera and files, and will not delete/wipe anything.

and even you want manual process then : take camera.apk from system/app and paste it in your phones system/app.. then same take camera.smdk4x12.so from system/lib/hw/ and paste it in phones system/lib/hw.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] andrewwright:

Please someone... Before making any mistake :silly:

Thx
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mbl007:
I tried dirty flashing and manually pushing camera app to system but nothing worked.

I clean flashed the rom again and it's all working good now.

Thanks Rohan.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Barmenchik:
Thanx. All fine..

Question? How to proprly delete stock camera and gallery? Cose now, I have 2 Cameras and 2 Galleries..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] RohanAJoshi:
I already added scrip for deleting stock camera and gallery..

for manually, use root browser and delete camera2 and gallery2 apk from system=>App folder then again install mod.

I don't notice any difference from cm10.2 (4.3.1) all features here are there, quality wise, can't tell really tell.

What exactly is "timely synchronised flash when auto focus is on"?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] RohanAJoshi:
get any 3rd party app like snap camera hd, set focus to auto focus and flash to force on.

now take 5 to 8 shots and compare them.

you will get different results like no flash in pic, over saturated pics etc.

are you using official nightlies ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Suhayl Memon:
Haven't noticed. Probably cause I don't really need 3rd party cam. But never had flash problem. I think once, but that was on 4.2.2.

Using ArchiDroid 2.2.4. I think based on the last cm10.2 for i9300.

Btw, if you can get the Flash not to fire when focusing and only fire when taking the picture, such that there is no preflash, that would be epic.

I think that's how it was on stock. Lol, don't recall that well :p I'm sure it was tho
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] aco77:
I want to know the exact procedure for installing the camera apk?

I have the last 11 cm unofical build and I have a problem with the camera, just that we can not work.

Do you just switch on your phone and install the apk?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] RohanAJoshi:

Hi,

do we get photosphere in this package ?

thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] RohanAJoshi:
no, for photo sphere you need to separately flash google camera and libs.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] remizik:
ok, so i'll get a broken camera again .. :D

thanks !
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] RohanAJoshi:
broken camera ?

how ?

on my guess, google camera and related libs does break main lib, so you will get both..

.

this mod mainly replaces buggy lib in lib/hw.

.

for photo sphere camera do the following and report back :

1. put GoogleCamera.apk in system/app.

2. put liblightcycle.so, libjni_mosaic.so, libjni_filtershow_filters.so in to system/lib.

3. set proper permissions and reboot.

I think this will work cause it does not touch main camera lib.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] remizik:
I'm on Temasek V7 CM11

sometimes the camera freezes, the flash is out of sync, etc ...

where do I find your files for your point2 ?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] RohanAJoshi:
go to 1st post of this thread and you will find latest v2.1 zip file.

download it and flash with recovery.

this will do the trick.

flash is well synced in this mod.

WTF?!

it is not related to patch, do full stock from odin and check..

if not worked then flash omnirom version.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] AssassinGEO:
I already did,and even more.

Well,this happened just afterwards. I was on stock ROM and camera was smooth,then I decided to move to AOSP,so I did,flashed the V5 and got this choppiness. Camera was dropping it's 30mbps to 24 what was causing lag. Then I moved to stock back again,and I got the same problem. Now camera drops frame rates pretty often. Forcing the performance governor to be activated while camera is open with tasker helps a little,but there are still some drops. Comparing old recorded videos with new ones makes me cry... lol.

As for an camera expert,can I ask,what can be the cause of frame rate drops? Is it my phone's chip which got f*cked up? Maybe it can't maintain that old full power from processor now? Or maybe it's gpu? Because I noticed also choppiness while watching videos on my phone. Videos lag,though the games still run pretty smooth and without lags (real racing 3,modern combat 4). Performance is still as good as it was before,while media playback is on it's own. Btw,I have no SD card,just device's storage. Full wiped,mega wiped,nothing.

no more Camera app after flashing

Hi,

I am new to this forum and a rookie in flashing matters.

I hope you can help me ...

these are my settings

Phone: GT-I9300 (SGS3)

cm11-installerXNPQ08Q

Kernelversion 3.0.64-CM-g992f0e8 (wed Feb 19 17:34 PST 2014

My problem is, that I my cm11-camera app did not record videos any more even after normal restarts.

What did I do against it?:

1. I flashed CM_Fixed_Camera_for_CM_All_AOSP_roms_by_RohanAJoshi_V5.0.zip,

2. Wiped cache and dalvik,

3. Rebooted phone normally.

Result: Ther was no camera app to find on my phone.

the barcode scanner app said it could not conect to a camera

rebooted - still no camera

4. flashed Omni_Fixed_Camera_for_OmniRom_by_RohanAJoshi_V5.0.zip

5. Wiped cache and NOT dalvik,

6. Rebooted phone normally.

Result: There ist still no camera app to find on my phone - app drawer: no camera nor kamera :(

but the barcode scanner app conects now to a camera and "camera fv5" works sometime until it crashes

It must be there anywhere - but how to start it???

7. installed	Restart_Camera by Temasek.apk, gave it superuser rights

Result: still no camera app to find

:crying::crying::crying:

Plese help

I am on archidroid 2.4.5 and my camera don't use the flash When I focus I clash the fix but now I can't connect to the camera sorry if the answer is two pages before but I am new in this thread can anyone help me?

Edit: I read the thread but for me any fix work
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mad_ady:
When I first noticed choppy recording and playback I did a trim of my /data partition (Using Boeffla-Kernel's config app). Trim wipes the free space so that when an app needs to write to it it won't have to wait for it to be wiped. Your camera app needs 30Mbps to constantly write to flash and has to wait for flash to respond. Try to trim it every time you free a lot of space from your /sdcard/.

<rant>I'm upset I need to constantly reencode my videos to 4Mbps instead of 30, because of the HUGE waste of space. The 4Mbps 720p videos I reencode look exactly the same as the original. Also, I'm currently upset the default videos have variable framerate which breaks playback in my media player and SMPlayer, so anther reason to reencode. I wish there was a configurable way for users to select desired framerate/bitrate...</rant>
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] AssassinGEO:
Sdcard? Can I do the same with device's storage? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mad_ady:
/sdcard refers to the devices' internal storage. I don't think you can trim an external SD though... But keep in mind that /sdcard is usually a part of the /data partition, so you'd need to trim /data.

Hi, I have a Galaxy S3 i9300, running CM11 installer version, I tried the camera fix. Wiped Cache and Dalvik, installed the zip, rebooted, the system told me it was updating files and stuff... Then I tried the camera, by swiping to the left on the lock screen, is asked me if I wanted this camera (blue icon) or the google camera, I ticked this camera and said it to "remember my choice" i got the UNABLE TO CONNECT TO CAMERA error, then I tried clicking on the icon directly and it said the APP wasn´t even installed! Go figure, and now I don´t have a camera anymore... hehehe I have to laugh about this, just not to cry.

Any toughts?

EDIT: Here is a screenshot I managed to take using the camera from lock screen (i found the camera app installed under applications, BUT the icon is not showing up). I tried the restart camera APP, no luck there.

what I did, downloaded the M5 release to my sd card, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, flashed, rebooted. NO CAMERA. so I download the camera from 10.2 (which is in the OP), now everything is working fine, I´ll try doing the whole thing later.

which CM version are you running?

Lisbon? Portuguese speaking?

Just did a cache wipe, Dalvik wipe, factory reset, flashed from clockwork the cm 11 m6 the flashed camera fix version 5,camera works, filters kinda buggy. When I press the video button it starts recording instantly, and I get no options like led on and filters... Is that right?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] kadopt:
[MENTION=4124938]insane2103[/MENTION]

The options are general for all modes, like flash, so if you force flash for photos it will be always on for videos, etc.

The factory reset you did wiped system (like I recommend in my post) that's why the camera appeared after flashing the rom. I can't say much more about the camera because I barely use it as I have a dedicated device for photos (Sony nex-5n).

I'm using cm11 by temasek v91 and boeffla kernel v2.3 beta 3 no camfix and v5 camfix.

Yes, I'm Portuguese and from Lisbon btw.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Darke5tShad0w:
In my opinion its more stable than CM nightly's.

It has other features built that he picks from other rom's in plus he adds the odd fix for things even before CM gets them out.

In v91 he has just added a camera wrapper which should help alot of people

n7100 focus problem

I have big problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (cm11). Really bad focus, blurry images, all fixes not work ( i try 1-5, with wipe dalvik cache) some of them delete camera app, some of them works, but without any focus correction. On stock rom (4.1, 4.3) all works fine, no focus problem. Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] insane2103:
thanks for the prompt reply, I´ll look into it, I´m running the nightly from june the 1st right now, it runs smooth...

one thing I´ve done wrong though, it was when restoring the TITANIUM backup from the whole system, since it restored the stock camera app all together...

now, whenever i swype from lock screen, fisrt I get a glimpse of the stock cam app, then it loads up the CM fix... which is quite weird and made the system lags a little...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] bornlivedie:
Stop using Titanium. It's disaster packed into an app.

How could it be more stable if it adds more things (and sometimes experimental) than CM, hence, possibly compromising stability and general performance?

I think you don't know what stable means.

Either way, it runs pretty well and it's kept updated.

No, because these fixes are device specific. Does the e975 have this same issues? Doubt it. That device problably has a 100% working camera.

Try not to flash every crap you see on the interwebs.

And would be happy to see like my alarms and ring tones all saved...

Any taughts?

@op

Thanks for your excellent work here!

So far the Omni camera fix you provided is the best for my i9300 and my t0lte's wife! Actually much better than the stock omni or even the google camera (that sucks because doesn't allow us to save files into external sdcard.)

Please, keep this awesome work up! Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mad_ady:
I too have tried v5 on NeatRom and it works great. The camera functionality is nice.

However, I have only one problem that irritates me greatly - and I have no idea who's responsible/how it can be fixed. The video recording bitrate for 720p is 20MBps. I am forced to transcode that video to 4MBps (for compatibility reasons with older devices in my home). I'd like to understand who is responsible for that bitrate?

* the hardware in the camera (e.g. it only supports fixed bitrates to encode video)

* the camera library (can't we have a way to select the desired bitrates?)

* the camera app (frankly, I've tried camera apps that can change the bitrate, and they still recorded at 20MBps).

Can anyone enlighten me? I am prepared to dig deeper, but first I need to know where to start digging.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nicesoni_ash:
I guess the hardware because I read so many posts saying if we increase cpu settings while recording, it records at higher frame rate.

Change governor to performance and see results..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] mad_ady:
I switched governor to performance in the Boeffla-Config app and my recorded videos still have 20Mbps bitrate (don't get me wrong - I don't get stutters while recording, I just don't like the fact that the videos have too much bitrate (and IMHO redundant data) in them). A 5-second video takes up 13MB! I doubt the governor influences the bitrate. I'd like to understand where it is set and how I could eventually change it.

Thanks!

I'll also try with my "low performance", 800MHz profile and see if there is any difference - but again, I don't think CPU power directly affects the bitrate. I don't think these are the old DOS days when timings were a ratio of the CPU frequency... :)

Edit: Well, well, well - I seem to be corrected. I re-recorded for 5 seconds with the CPU set to max frequency 800MHz, and now the resulting video has only 15.6Mbps bitrate. It looks pretty smooth.

I'm baffled. I need to do more tests. I will update the thread once I take a scientific approach (and write down the results). :)

v5 Fix not working

v5 Fix is not working for me on Temasek v93.1, it gives me FC when I try to record a video...

I did wipes and format's and flashed again ROM, Gapps, Kernel and v5 fix but it still the same.

So I did it again without flashing v5 fix and now Temasek's Camera and Google Camera seems to work...

Any suggest? I really like v5 fix -.-

After being on CM for several versions until now in my I9300, this is really the first time in a looooong time the camera is 99% functional, and I say 99% not because it has failed, but just giving it 1% chance it may happen.

I'm now using it with CarbonROM for over 3 weeks, and I just got rid of all the rest of camera apps, finally you've made my phone using a custom ROM feel like premium device.
