Video problems

Anyone else having video camera problems?

It looks really fuzzy on my screen in vidcam mode. It seems to let me record, but then when I go to watch the vid it's just a jumbled mess of lines.

I thought it had to do with the PA zero day GAPPs I was using, so I decided to do a clean install but instead install the GAPPs linked from the Carbon site, and I get the exact same problem.

Anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
You and the multitude of 4.4.2 users. Its a problem since day 1. Use the your Google force to solve it. Besides it's rule 1 of xda. Not to be a douche, but I think finding your answers yourself helps you become a better flasher/user
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Somcom3X:
That's funny, I have never seen that before.

I have no way of testing this as I don't use it.

Recovery probably

Fixed them two days ago

There is a fix, but cm looks like they have not made any more changes for months.

[MENTION=4802051]Somcom3X[/MENTION]: can you make a fix for video recording when you have some free time?not and ota but just a wish. Thank you very much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
Holy crap. For real?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
I did, actually. I only found one instance of someone else having this exact problem, and it was unresolved. Probably spent a good 30 - 45 minutes on it before deciding to come here. Also it was in no way apparent to me that "the multitude of 4.4.2" users experience this exact problem. I examined multiple threads for various 4.4.2 ROM and there seemed to be plenty of people with working cameras, and many others who had problems but not this particular problem.

I agree with you that solving problems yourself is paramount, but you're assuming I didn't try when I did. There comes a point where you still end up coming up blank and decide to ask those who may be able to shed some more light on the issue, which is what I ended up doing. Also I didn't see a similar question in this thread, so it seemed like the next logical step.

Thanks.

Somcom3X, yes it was recovery but I solved it a while back, forgot to update here thanks tho.

On another note my bro's skyrocket also got the cam recorder issue, tried downloading focal and that force stopped but when I tried using mx camera or something it worked, so it's some app issue and not rom. I'll get him to try using jelly bean camera.

And anyone can suggest a custom kernel that works? Lightning zap and UBER kernels both cause phone to chain crush and makes the phone unusable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Somcom3X:
In the latest nightly, you'll notice that in CF -> device tuneables there is a new menu. This is device settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hellfreezover:
I also try to find an alternative kernel, i

M thinking of extracting one from hellkat or beanstalk '.. not sure how exactly and if it will work.. .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
I haven't tried Hellkat in awhile, is there a working 1080p camera in it? The CM 10 worked perfectly on Beanstalk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
This does work! However, there is still about a 5 second delay between when I push the record button and when recording starts.. and also this removes photosphere functionality, which didn't really work great to begin with. Other apps that utilize video recording, such as SnapChat and Instagram are still wonky when it comes to video as well. BUT no more fuzzy image and when it records I can watch the video - it just takes five seconds to start recording. So that is still a huge improvement.

Thanks for the find!

I am waiting for cm to merge it, but it looks like it is abandoned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Is it this one: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/55132/? If it is, doesn't the released patches make some difference in how the Camera operates or is this what is already merged with all CM 11 based roms? I wish they wouldn't abandon it as this is the only major bug, I noticed with 4.4.2 and if it gets fixed, we should be able to get a stable rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Somcom3X:
Yea that's the one.

When it's merged then it will Work.

When it's abandoned then I'll resurrect it for carbon.

Anyone lose notification sounds on the 4/9 nightly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skyrocketeer:
On 4/9 nightly but I have sounds. Try checking sdcard/system/media/notifications to see if the sounds are still there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
This happens to me nearly every time I flash a new nightly.. For some reason they get silenced in settings. Go to settings > sound > volumes and uncheck link ringtone & notification volumes, and then recheck it if you like. Always fixes it for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
Google Camera

Hey everyone.

I just wanted to let you know of my experience with the new Google Camera which was released today

I'm running the April 04 nightly.

Basically.. everything works fairly well except video playback, unfortunately. It isn't fuzzy during screen capture any more, and it will actually record, but trying to play said video results in forced reboot 100% of the time. There are no settings I can find to remedy this problem. There is a settings wheel on the mode select screen, but clicking it results in FC of the app, every time, so I have no idea what it does.

To my surprise, however, Photosphere actually makes it further than taking three or four pictures before FC like it did in stock 4.4 - I actually managed to get it to capture a whole room and render the image without crashing. The only thing is, the image is rather blurry - I don't know if that's a device problem or an app problem.

The newly introduced focus blur feature works great, absolutely zero issues.

Overall, I have a hard time calling the app stable on this ROM. It works most of the time, but there are still random, annoying crashes here and there.. If you want a perfectly functioning camera that records playable videos and doesn't FC much if at all, I suggest sticking with the JB one for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheCybertronian:
It's not the app it's the device or ROM. The app is 100% on my nex 5 and evo 4g. Haven't tested on the rocket as I'm currently working on my own project with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Yeah the rocket now has a working camera thanks to our amazing devs in case you didn't see it!:D Once the working camera merges from [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] or [MENTION=2107489]bryan2894[/MENTION] Github come in than all of the 4.4 roms should have the fix. From testing Google Camera from both guys source, Bryan's is the only one that doesn't force close the Settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
Anyone else having trouble with the Xposed after the most recent nightly (4/23)? I re-installed it and rebooted like always after flashing a new nightly, but it tells me the latest version isn't installed every time. No idea if this is on Xposed's end or the ROM's end, so I thought I'd see if anyone else was having issues.

Also, I've been having a lot more crashes than usual today..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Somcom3X:
Look below

Look below

I actually looked at their changes

on github.

I added a few of them relating to Google camera but have chosen not to add any of cm's open changes.

Would anyone mind checking on the latest nightly?

I don't use xposed but I'm not sure if it's ROM related?

I'd recommend removing the mod and reflashing the latest version of xposed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
The only noticeable difference is that now I can actually play the videos I record without it completely crashing my phone. That's a huge plus! Other than that, there might be fewer crashes in general (from the app) but it's hard to tell.

However, advanced settings still crashes the app 100% of the time, photospheres and panoramas are still blurry, and I just noticed this but the pinch to zoom in and out function doesn't always work. If I force close the app and re-open it, it will sometimes work with the regular camera, but in vidcam it never works and is significantly zoomed in by default.

EDIT: Oh man, new development.. Just found something else that doesn't work. Trying to switch to front-facing camera in video mode results in a crash, and trying to re-open the app after that results in immediate crash. Had to delete app data to use the app again.

Yeah, I'll probably end up doing that. Hasn't happened before so I thought I'd check.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
The 23rd and 25th nightlies were extremely rough for me.. Apps that never crash started crashing, my phone would reboot itself numerous times, sometimes unprovoked and one time even got stuck on the boot animation in my pocket for who knows how long.. Sometimes trying to turn on the device, the hardware lights would come on but not the screen, which might take anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds to come on, if it ever did and didn't just reboot.. Ended up flashing back to the Apr 4th nightly, which is what I had been using before flashing the 23rd, and now everything is as smooth as butter again.

Anyone else experiencing this kind of thing lately or is it just me?

Edit: been using 28th nightly all day, not a single problem.. Guess it's been fixed or maybe Xposed was screwing with something? Hmm.

Problem with download page

It seems there is a problem with the download page for my skyrocket....

https://carbonrom.org/downloads/?device=skyrocket&type=nightly

Getting network error after few seconds when downloading nightly file...

Having no problem downloading from other sites...

Anybody having the same problem ?

Punky.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hellfreezover:
I have the same issue.

2-3 seconds and bam...

Even with the new build it stops downloading from the skyrocket folder :(

Edit:

after numerous tries I was able to download :)

When will the camera fix be implemented - there are roms that fixed the 5 seconds issue :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
These nightlies are still rough for me... Random freezes and UI resets all over the place. Turns it it never went away, I just got lucky and didn't experience it for a day or so I guess. The new PA Beta does it too. :-/ Reverting to a way older nightly so I don't end up throwing my phone against a wall in frustration.

Hope it gets ironed out soon, whatever it is is..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheCybertronian:
[MENTION=4955921]kiedlywiedis[/MENTION] it's an issue on your end my rocket hasn't crashed or rebooted in quite some time. I still use it for side projects while finding it's end position. Of course I'm using pa which you claimed had issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
Hmm.. Well whatever it is it only seems to conflict with newer nightlies.. I'm on the April 4th one now and no problems. Unfortunately I have no idea which nightly it started with. I know it's not an issue with Xposed because I already tried running the ROM without enabling it and it still happened.

Also there are many people in the PA thread who claim to have screen freezing issues, which I'm assuming is the same thing I'm experiencing as it typically manifests itself as a freeze, usually upon waking the device up but not always. Most of the time it recovers if I wait it out, but every once in a while it reboots the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Somcom3X:
We're experiencing this on all phones due to incompatibilies with the new cm theme engine and an unknown memory leak with notifications.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheCybertronian:
[MENTION=4955921]kiedlywiedis[/MENTION] that explains carbon anyway lol. Pa hasn't implemented theme chooser so I don't think you've solved your mystery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
Not really, considering that the issue is pretty well documented in the PA thread by others who experience it. Conversely, until now I had no idea anyone else besides me had this issue in Carbon.

Also, they may or may not be the exact same issue, but they are very similar in nature and equally annoying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MadnessG:
Flashed the 5/14 nightly, and using the camera shuts off my phone. Had to do a battery pull each time to revive it. Also, a minor thing, but when I press the menu haptic key, and then press settings, it doesn't do anything. Of course there are other ways to get to settings, but that's just something I saw. The only glaring issue is the camera.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Somcom3X:
I think the camera issue has to do with the battery.

Can anyone confirm?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] franzpimp87:
Good! Since 0512 Nightly, I noticed camera is fully working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MadnessG:
Newest nightly has everything working! However, some random reboots, and the phone locks up every so often, but all in all, this is fantastic!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MadnessG:

I love this Cyanogenmod variant! I can tell a great deal of passion was put into it's development. I believe I'll be using this as my daily driver for a long time indeed.

I do have one question though. On the lockscreen, scrolling to the right allows use of the camera, and display of the gallery.

How do I disable this? I've been through the settings quite thoroughly I think, but haven't found such an option.

Sorry if this is already covered, I admit I don't have the free time to read through 12 pages of posts. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
I think it is in security settings under enable widgets. Uncheck it and i think that will be what your looking for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] FCORivers:
I believe it's under lockscreen options in settings or interface, also in settings.

About reading 12 pages of posts, 5 minutes would take care of that, try reading in the hd2/hd2 android development forums. If it was 100 pages of posts I'd understand but 12.... that's not excuse.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xhazk:
This is incorrect, I checked there again and still don't see it. I get the impression all you did was fabricate that so you'd have an excuse to chastise me.

Also, I reviewed the thread, and the answer isn't apparent. So your righteous rant doesn't really serve a constructive purpose anyway. If you want to be a moderator and dictate what posts people have to read, I suggest you apply to XDA for such a position. In the meantime, you're a normal user like the rest of us, so act like one.

Treat people with respect on the internet, just like you would in reality. You'll find your encounters are much more pleasant that way.

I apologize to the Carbon devs for contributing to the temporary derailing of this thread with the above... individual.

Is there a tip about that?

I just came from a year old cyanogenmod, updated just fine to a nightly of carbon rom. 6.6.2014 I believe. I thought everything was just great, much more responsive, etc. However, my audio doesn't work when trying to play any media. I tried to do some searching after exhausting my knowledge of the menus settings. Nothing looks out of place for "sound." Call volume and alarm volume work as well as sounds on button presses, but the media volume is greyed out with a line through it. Youtube, n7player, all muted out with the volume keys doing nothing (although they work fine for non-media).

Any ideas? I was going to try another rom version, but figured it might be something silly.

Thanks for any guidance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Somcom3X:

Replacing it with Nova fixes it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orangezero:
