Thank you for this fix!

I installed the ZIP file and made some tests:

- Snap Camera: Video recording working again. I recorded 3 videos without freezing. It´s the most stable camera app here.

- CM camera: Video recording working unstable. I recorded one video and after this the record button stopped working... (Generating the .TMP file in DCIM/Camera)

- Google camera: Video recording working unstable. I got a reboot when I tried to change to picture mode.

EDIT1: I will try to delete data of CM camera and Google camera to make some tests.

EDIT2: After clean data of CM camera and Google camera: Video recording working with no errors!!!

Regards!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
Hmm, are you on the latest nightly, too?

Its really strange that the camera behaves so different for different users. For example, switching between picture and video mode should be fixed for the google camera. It wasnt working before, but was now fixed for me.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FadeFx:
It isnt strange if you know that there are several different camera modules even from differenr manufacturers built into i9300 devices. .

Hello,

Just install it from the play store or look into the xda developers site not the forum ,you'll find the latest gapps
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
Are you sure that there are really different manufacturers, not just different firmwares/revisions?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] adripred:
I think the big problem is to use multiple camera APPs at the same time. When I use only one camera APP less errors happen.

Regards.

Yes, I´m using the latest nightly (20140521).

After clean data of CM camera and Google camera and test each app separatelly (test one and reboot to test the other): Video recording working with no errors!!! Please push this fix to CM!

Regards!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
Nice, let's see if you are not the only one.

I also made another version of it. it should also work for older nightlies, since it deletes all possible old camera libs and replaces it with the new ones (wrapper + samsung stock lib).

Actually it does not change anything for you, but you can do it of course :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FadeFx:
Yes, i am pretty sure there where at least two different manufacturers. Because not every camera firmware does fit every module.

tapatalked from i9300
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] adripred:
OK, I get it!

Really confirmed what I wrote in the previous post: To have no errors in the camera I have to turn the phone off and turn on again (reboot the system does not help) to test each camera APP individually. If I test an camera app and then open another camera app without turning off the phone, sure errors happen.

Then I need to "choose" my preferred camera app to have fewer surprises. I use the Snap camera and freeze the other in Titanium Backup.

Regards!

I agree with you.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Bäcker:
definitely different HW. One is Sony one is Samsung.

After I updated the Camera Firmware I encoutered less problems, but I had to go through a Stock ROM.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] RazOne:
What are the bugs of this rom?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:
22/5 is the first nightly that I actually didn't find any bugs yet.

There is the video sharing problem with whatsup app but it's probably whatsup's fault.

[MENTION=4694692]FDisk80[/MENTION] video recording by camera is smooth or whether there is any jerking?

The jerking was solved a while ago.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
Can you test something else, pls? If you can, download the google camera from play store. Switch to video mode, then just hit record and stop again. Does the camera crash for you?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:
You cannot just install Google Camera on CM11. The old package needs to be removed first. This can be also done by flashing the Google Camera over the CM11 camera.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
I perfectly can. The google camera from the play store does not interfer with the cm camera.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:
Because you already installed the fix. You can install it over the fix but not stock CM camera.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
I didnt install any fix. You can just install it on clean cm. The two apps cannot collide, since cm camera = Camera2.apk and google camera from play store = com.google.android.GoogleCamera.apk.

No way that they collide.

Is it better to use official CM GApps from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps or PA GApps if I just need the Play Store and not any additional functions, launchers, etc.? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:
While installing on CM11.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
Im pretty sure that you used some gapps package from either banks or PA.

The cm gapps dont contain any files related to the google camera.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:
PA, but I use the Mini Modular without the camera module.

It should not contain any camera related files. I Think. Maybe not.

Any idea what are the files from PA that could screw up the installation? Maybe I can delete them manually.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Maceee:
I have an error while opening the 20140522 nightly's zip file. I cannot open it in my windows 8 machine with 7-zip or default zip file manager. It says the zip file is invalid. I have tried redownlaoding it but it didn't help. I guess it's dangerous to flash it. Is anyone having similar problems? By the way, no one have answered my previous question yet so I'll just repeat it: is it better to use official CM GApps from here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps or PA GApps if I just need the Play Store and not any additional functions, launchers, etc.? Thanks in advance! Don't blame me please!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ayoubij:
Its weird i have them cm cam and even cm11s camera and installed google camera just fine. I have banks gapps that doesnt have any camera file.

What happens when you click the uninstall button in the screenshot you shared?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:
Nothing.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
Actually I see nothing really. It could be /system/framework/com.google.android.camera2.jar and /system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.camera2.xml, but I tested the mini modular and it still installed the google camera, even without removing those files. Maybe you still have some old files left somewhere else.

Does the google camera crash when you start/stop video record?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:
Strange. A while ago I used the stock PA gapps but after that I formatted the system partition and then I always used the PA mini gapps.

Should not be any leftovers after the system partition is formatted as far as I know.

Maybe it's the "Google Gallery" that Google+ app installs? Or does the new Google Camera comes without the gallery?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Maceee:
Has anybody flashed the 20140522 version? Which recovery you used?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] edinrh:
Hello friends, i have a question, i have a s3 i9300 with 4.1.2 sotck, i want to flash a kitkat rom, i need to update first to 4.3 official to install the rom?? and another question, i can install cm10.2 o cm10.1 without updating my rom stock right?? ONLY KITKAT NEEDS 4.3 BASEBAND?? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWER
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] i.aboussaad:
Yes , unless you want a lot of frezzes once the phone reboots , wich makes force reboots it again and again

Ismail
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] edinrh:
Thanks!! and for the cm10.1 and 10.2 roms??:good:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] N-TheAndroNoob:
Dont update. It erases your recovery. As long as you have a custom recovery you can install a custom ROM. Just follow the installation guide on the Opening Post and you can install it. Or better yet, you can use the cyanogenmod installer app to install it. Cyanogenmod installer can be found on their website

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

Just follow the instructions on the OP. Don't update to 4.3 and perform clean wipe and install and wipe a little more and your good to go.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
The google camera does not install any gallery or need any special one. I tested mini modular which has google+ and the google gallery and the google camera still worked
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] N-TheAndroNoob:
[MENTION=4694692]FDisk80[/MENTION] has, I think. He mentioned the 05/22 nightly iin a post. Try searching for his latest posts.

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

I tried not to say anything, but this is some BS... And I'm not even gonna play the blame game, 'cause god knows why this isn't working for some of us.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ayoubij:
No it doesnt for me but i have boeffla kernel with cam fix version

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

Its not BS. It is a fact. The google camera does not come with a gallery.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] FDisk80:
Don't. It's MD5 failed. Wait for the next one.

I said before 22/5 by mistake. I meant 21/5.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] adripred:
I installed the 20140522 nightly and the video recording crashed again. I flashed the test fix again and the video recording in Snap camera is working now.

Regards!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] i.aboussaad:
I think the CM10.1 an 10.2 are based on 4.2 and 4.3 so you should try to update your stock Samsung rom to the closest rom wanting to flash

even if it erases your internal data, it a good fresh start for your phone

N.B: as soon as you install a CM rom try to upgrade you CWM version to the latest via ROM manager for example

Ismail
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
Another question, if you use stock cn camera, does the preview freeze after stopping the video record?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] adripred:
It's happening in 20140522 nightly too.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
Im just curious if he experiences that, since he said that the google camera did not crash for him with boeffla kernel. I will maybe also apply this fix by lord boeffla to the cm kernel.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ayoubij:
I just tried with the stock camera as well and no issues I tried recording 3 consecutive videos and they all recorded, no freezing and preview works and videos play normally.

But note that [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] said that he applied a dirty hack or something to fix the camera, and he hoped that CM fix the camera the 'proper' way. BTW, the cam fix he applied breaks zram .. but I don't use zram, so its fine for me.

Hope I helped :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
The fix he applied seems to be useless. He just assumed that it might work since googy-max claimed that (reverting memory management back to samsung stock kernel). I tested it and it does nothing.

Interesting fact though, with googy-max the google camera crashes. With boeffla (does not matter if with cam fix or not <- stable 2.2) it does not crash, but only the preview freezes. So, the fix does nothing regarding the camera, at least for me.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ayoubij:
Weird bro, ill try without the kernel on next nightly flash but now im using boeffla beta 3 OMNI version kernel with cam fix, and i have absolutely no problem.. Maybe im just lucky.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Maceee:
I see you guys discussing here about camera problems so I'll just mention that I've just tested the Google Camera app from Play Store on stock CM 20140522 build with stock CM kernel and the camera preview freezes after stopping the video recording.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ayoubij:
Try flashing boeffla kernel with cam fix and see if it fixes your problem.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
Test this if you have time

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] lauren:
hi and thanks for all the effort btw :)

i'm on the 1705 and have a slightly different video problem - if i switch to video camera and tap the record button nothing happens - as in nothing - no freeze, no recording, nothing

then i flashed this fix and have the same issue - nothing happens

i will go back to 2205 and try this fix and report back

[update]

remembered that someone posted earlier about restarting the phone in between tests so i cleared all cam data and restarted phone and now the video and camera work perfectly with no issues at all - this fix worked for me

:)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] N-TheAndroNoob:
Not that, I mean that for some of us it won't install and if you force it in it crashes but for others it just works like a charm. Now that, my friend, is BS.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] lauren:
it is BS agreed but when you consider that there are at least 2 different camera hardwares in the i9300 then it is at least understandable from a technical perspective no?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] VirusPT:
Can we use the "old" themes with the new theme system? Or they need to be updated?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] N-TheAndroNoob:
But how can hardware affect installation. Hardware can surely affect the app as in when its installed it can't open. But, for me i can't even install it. Observe: *Sorry if i sound like a douche*

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

SCR might work but not sure. I tried the OnePlus One's Screencast app but, it crashes. That was on a nightly of a while ago but i might be willing to test it out once the new nightly comes out.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tOz666:
Hi, I have a fresh installed M6, and want to know if it's possible to rotate the lock screen and the Trebuchet launcher. I want to use them on my car in portrait mode, and haven't found a setting to allow rotation. Rest of the apps rotate as they should.

I know I can install an alternate launcher that rotates but Trebuchet is looking good enough and I like how it looks so if possible I want to keep it.

Also I know that the lock screen may be replaced, but again I like stock.

Can this two apps be modded or something? an Xposed module that can be used?

Thanks for any help.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Maceee:
Is it really impossible to set custom NOTIFICATION sound on CM11? Furthermore, it seems that sounds from speaker on CM11 are lower than on the stock Samsung ROM. How to fix this? By the way, video preview still freezes after flashing Boeffla v2.3 beta 3 kernel with camera fix.

EDIT: But the fix from Moster2 test.zip did it! Now camera works as should. Thank you Moster2!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] adripred:
Thanks for this fix Moster2!

This fix resolves the problem of freeze video recording when push stop button, but the "Can't connect to camera" error still happen sometimes. I think we will never have a definitive solution to S3 camera in AOSP ROMs...

Regards!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ayoubij:
There should be. I say that because there was time frame i think on cm10.1 late stages where the camera was completly fixed for me.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
This usually seems to happen when 2 or more commands are send to the camera lib. Example: making a photo and while it takes the pic, switch to video mode. Maybe some synchronisation with mutexes can fix that. I will see what I can do. Im not the uber pro at android stuff.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ASVP_MSFT:
Kernel

Could anyone tell me a good kernel (if any) to try out on the latest nightly? been looking through the forums but don't see any aosp based ones.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
Then you are for sure blind ;)

I think every kernel dev here has aosp/cm kernel. I know only one that doesnt (litegx kernel dev)

You will find kernels by boeffla, googyanas, psndna88, yank555 (not in xda), arter97...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ASVP_MSFT:
*Faceplam* thanks anyways..
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] adripred:
This can be a cause, but I think it is not the only cause. when I use more than one camera app (one after another) erros happen more often.

May be some dirt in memory and the next running camera app crash.

Regards
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Maceee:
What to do if I have that "Can't connect to the camera" error? It started appearing after some time after I flashed Boeffla 2.3 beta 3 kernel and camera fix provided by Moster2. Not immediately after flashing those files.

EDIT: The problem has just gotten fixed after a reboot of the device. Anyway, did anyone noticed the lower sound from speaker with this ROM compared to stock Samsung? It's very annoying. I can't hear notifications when my device is in another room.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] adripred:
Try shutdown the phone and turn on again. Restart doesn´t work for me.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] RohanAJoshi:
thanks, what do you mean of old camera wrapper ?

camera wrapper by teamhacksung ?

I think recardo will not accept that change, cause he made new wrapper himself.

Javier Ferrer also tried to bring back old wrapper but recardo did not accepted it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
The problem was that Javier made those changes in smdk4412-common, but this one contains the camera hal. So Ricardo moved it and made his own little changes, but they kind of dont work.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] benthe:
I'm a bit out of the loop, been so for the past 2-3 weeks or so.

I've been using CM11 (nightlies and M6) up until 2-3 weeks ago, and then went to SlimKat when all the SystemUI force closes were happening.

However, it doesn't have some of the features that I want from a rom (that CyanogenMod does, at least most of them), and I was wondering - do the latest nightlies still get FCs?

I'm inclined to go back to CM, but I don't (and can't) deal FCs on a daily (read, hourly) basis.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] danielalarcon:
Any differences betweend and the test2.zip posted before? that one has made almost 100% of my problems with aosp ROM (the camera pics and video) gone!

Another question.... I suppose until this is merged I need to flash the zip each time I flash a nightly, correct?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yeti47:
Nope, all good now :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] benthe:
That's great news. Thanks.

I'll install the latest nightly soon enough.

Also, if you happen to know - any other fixed (i.e zips to flash etc) I need to install to make everything working smoothly (as possible at least)? Especially for the camera, battery life, bluetooth (especially streaming music) and wakelocks. Which have been the four main culprits in the past.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Moster2:
Yes, there are differences.

Yes, you need to flash it again.
