FFC mod back camera sucks?

So i bought and installed a FFC, (bought 2, installed both). the font was blurry but i fixed the focus. But the back camera is really bad compared to my old one. i even switched back to be sure. ive only tested at night indoors because its nighttime now, but the FFC version has lots of awful lines running up and down the screen when i look through the viewfinder, whereas the vibrant version is crystal clear. when i take a picture it comes out much better than what i see in the viewfinder but still a bit of the lines. anyone else have this issue? im running bionix1.8 i tested both cams on that and only the ffc version has this issue...

Are you serious? This is the first time anyone has EVER complained about this! Alert the media...stop the presses...call you Senator...and WAKE UP THE PRESIDENT!!!!

post some picture so we can see

Dude, so you spent say about $60 for two replacement cameras, pried your phone apart, drilled a hole, and subjected your screen to disolving fluids but couldn't be bothered to read the whole thread?

no drilling involved.

someone delete this thread. read the ffc thread, as its a well known side effect. still waiting on the rom dev's to get theres so they can really tweak and make the ffc work to its fullest

All I have to day is I sure am glad I didn't do the mod. In all the excitement almost nobody mentions this problem. I know I never saw it mentioned, and I read several walkthroughs explaining the mods and how to do it.

Please DON'T delete this post. Why would we have to read the whole thread for such vital information. That thread is ginormous.

Dude, the ffc is much lower resolution than the rear camera, if you replace your rear camera (which is what it sounds like you did) it's a massive downgrade.

ok, you guys are being too hasty.
First you guys jumped and bought cameras before support was even added.
Now, you guys are QQ'ing because it's not working right, eventhough you all now the devs don' have cameras yet.
Just be patient and wait for the devs to get their hands on cameras.
crying and ****ing on a forum are not going to resolve your problem.
The warehouse is not going to accept returns.
So you might as well keep using your original camera until proper support is added for the FFC.

dude it is suppose to add a ffc to the phone not replace a back camera with a front you should still have a 5mp back cam
the part even said so
Main camera: 5MP
Front Facing Camera: 0.3MP
i there is a problem then it could be a bad batch of cameras or a conflict in the phone,
am haven't done this yet because i don't want to scratch the glass (maybe some one will come out with a replacement part) i want mine to look as oem as possible

I can 100% assure you ALL the cameras where extensively tested prior to shipping. I have been in contact with the CEO of Global for 2 weeks now. The issue with the quality of the pictures is believed to be in the kernal. the i9000 kernal differs greatly from the vibrant kernal. The devs are working on it and as soon as they have a solution im sure everyone will know! just be patient.

Yeah I read a good ten pages of threads and 2 hardware guides and a software guide and watched a hardware video all without a single mention of this.
After all your flaming I did dig a bit deeper and found it, but this is something that should be in caps at the top of every thread.....

This is Why I want a portable cam
This is Why I want a portable cam that could be plugged into the phone and use it as a FFC or as a portable camera head so I can look inside walls and take pictures with the phone as the capture device (would be awesome for my work). Then i could use it as a FFC and not be bothered with trying to redesign a phone and installing a junkie little .3 meg camera

Camera mega lag, ultra slow, blurry

Is it just me or the Aria does have camera with the slowest capture speed out there? I'm using Liberated Aria right now but please let me know if you're using another ROM and you got better luck.
Here's my steps to reproduce this issue:
1. Open the camera app
2. Aim for an object
3. Tap the optical joystick to lock focus
4. Press optical joystick firmly to capture (the screen will "freeze" for a split second, it looks absolutely beautiful, focused & perfect, i don't expect more than this)
5. Then it the "screen freeze" is gone, pretty much Aria says "oh here's the actual picture saved to memory, that one you saw, yeah the pretty still image i showed you a split second before this, i just threw it away since i felt like it. but here's a bigger resolution ultra blurry image you've always wanted"
This happens mostly indoors (of course with sufficient lighting), when I'm outdoors I also have the same experience though not as severe.
I found that reducing brightness helped very very little.
is there any other trick I can do to get a better picture out of my camera. At least I want to get what I see on the screen when the focus is locked.

The camera app in the cm6/7 Roms works beautifully. Takes very nice pics and is fairly quick to do so. I'm fairly certain you can take that camera apk and push it to liberated (if its even a different app)

yeah, i never had any camera issues running cm7 on my aria.

I was having the same problem. Rebooting temporaryly fix it. In my opinion, gallery and camera 2.2 is too much for the aria to handle.
Not having camera problems with cm7 (knock on wood) but gallery still slow and don't find all pics consistently

There's a fix for the slow gallery. There is a file on your sd card you can delete and it forces the gallery to rebuild. The first load is slow but after that its pretty quick. I can't remember the file but I di remember the fix was in the cm6 thread. I use quick pic as my default viewer though because it loads almost instantly.

+1 for Quickpic. It's waaaaaaaaay quicker than any other gallery app I've seen. I think it should be bundled as default in the ROMS over gallery.

3d gallery works fine for me? very very snappy
the file that callmearia is talking about is /android/data/com.cooliris.media
just delete that folder and it will force it to recache thumbnails

However, I must agree with the OP, the camera app in FR008 is laggy as hell while the camera in CM6/7 is much more responsive. I've tried to get this camera into the FR008 build to no avail - even removing the HTCcamera apk from the ROM and adding the one from CM6 and then flashing the ROM - won't work.
Is there any way to get this version in to FR008 as I much prefer it??

If I remove the HTCmail.apk from the ROM zip file and replace it with the camera.apk from CM6 or 7 then the ROM will install properly and you can see the camera app in the app drawer but it either won't launch or force closes.
I'm wondering if there is another file I'm missing or that I need to remove?

you can try not deleting the stock sense camera and installing them side by side. Or you can try renaming the cm7 camera to whatever the Sense camera apk is called and then using adb to push the renamed cm7 camera.apk to the phone and it will replace the stock camera.apk. I could probably be a lot more help if I actually had a Sense rom installed...

Nope, tried it and tried it, no worky! LOL. I appreciate the help though. It's just do weird. I can get every other file that I drag and drop in to the ROM to work fine but not the camera! Weird but I suspect it has something to do with the Sense ROM, certain apps are maybe more deeply integrated than we know?

A couple things that might help here.
1. I noticed my camera started taking really hazy pics and was having a hard time focusing. I popped the back cover off and removed the two top screws. After I pulled off the top inner cover I had full access to the camera lens. What appeared to be clean lens while the cover was on was not. It had a nice layer of dust/lint on it. I cleaned the lens up and now the camera is back to normal.
2. Yesterday I installed the miui camera apk I found over in the android developement section. It not only takes pics faster than the stock camera it focuses much much faster and takes very clear pics. I'm making it my full time camera now. For anyone who wants to try it, it has to be flashed in recovery or pushed via adb. It wont install with the apk manager. Also you can install it side by side with the stock camera.

Yea I can almost say for sure that the camera starts acting funny when the lens gets coated in dust. Every couple of days I hit it with a clean dry q-tip and "spin" it in the lens hole. Works like a charm!

No , our Captivate don't have front cam , but in stock continuum 3.1.1 use the camera.apk version have front camera option , when u touch this icon , it 'll change your cam resolution ....... u must reset all camera setting to fix it .

This sort of issue can be dealt with in private messages. Ultimately it is an issue between tmhung and Cezar and really none of our business. The best construction we should put on this is that tmhung made his mods after consulting with Cezar; especially if you are "not tryin to start nothin."

Transparent app drawer is looking nice. This thread is actually making TouchWiz Launcher seem somewhat slick

I really like the themed version of continuum but was a bit reluctant to try it out because some people had battery issues. Since you claim with the mod it has good battery, is there any way to put the mod on the themed version?

With my experience with Continuum, it has had the best battery life of the roms I have tried. Cognition 3.04, 4.1, CM7, Fire Fly, and Paragon. While I didn't do any timed tests, I did run each rom for multiple days, and mentally noted how things went.
I have stuck with Continuum for the two weeks(A long time for me), and just been changing kernels/radios to keep satisfied! Been great on battery life, I highly suggest flashing 3.1.1, or waiting until the update to get JS7...

It seems battery life is a hit or miss in all the roms. It seems icezar is coming up with JS7 from what I read in the thread. Hopefully that will solve the battery issues the "other users" were having. I'm waiting on that too.

Your work and your sharing is appreciated, but why release this as a ROM? Why not just release a CM zip with just the files you've added or changed? Or, provide files and instructions on how to fix the issues you've fixed? That would be easier and more convenient for all involved I would think. Imagine if we all released ROMs of every little tweak we ever made of every ROM we installed to help the community; everyone would have good intentions, but it would be a mess.

Keep up the good work man

[Q] About kernel and camera.

Hi
I am using stock rom (Andro 2.2.1 - Kernel 2.6.32.9-perf)
I updated my rom to Miui 1.10.21 last night and I didn't like it much so I came back to my orginal.
My stock rom is very stable and problem free but :
Miui rom has better camera which one have touch focus like iphone 4.
Is it because different software , better kernel or both ?
I want that camera at my stock rom. What can I do ?
Also I want to update my orginal rom's kernel to better one without update rom.
Can anyone to recommend me a good kernel. ?

Im in same situation as you. Same rom / Same kernel. Really would like to see that camera on this factory stock. I will go for other custom roms later. But for now, As Im begginer, just want to test this rom first.
And maybe you should try CM7 or Oxygen.. Maybe there is your solution for camera with quality rom.

try this:
replace your original camera app with the miuicamera.apk in 7system/app.

still have no solution?

Hi,
Firstly, what do your "up!!!!" posts mean? Most of us like the xda-developers community because of the sober discussions here. From here on, please have a little patience. We are here to help you.
As I understand, you want the touch to focus functionality. A free app called "Camera 360" has this feature. Get it from the market, use it on your stock ROM and have fun!
Also, MIUI is much much better than the stock ROM. If youre having issues with it, feel free to discuss them in the MIUI thread in the "Android Development" section.

well I wanted to keep post up because no one answered straightly :\
and thanks for your answer also :
I tried lgcamera , camera360 , camera zoom fx , camera advance and sleek camera.
Took same shots with each one and compared.
Camera zoom fx and camera 360 is nice but touch to zoom is not full functional at camera 360 , usually wrong focus problem.
Also lgcamera is good at video recording.
But main question is can I install new kernel without change stock rom ?
I have no problems with stock rom

Hi,
The post does not need to be kept alive. Truth is, if people are interested in the post, it will stay alive on its own. If you keep putting dummy posts, it isn't going to help in any way and might indeed be counterproductive. Infact, I thought several times before replying to this post. Most OPs who are like this are difficult to have any kind of constructive discussion with.
So, camera360 focuses in the wrong place? I find that hard to believe. In any case, I fail to see what the kernel will do to fix that. I would like it if you clarified a little. You have me totally confused here. Do you want a new kernel? If so, why? Do you want a camera with touch to focus? Do you want both?

My camera 360 Settings :
(P) Normal Mode --> Normal
Shot Mode [Auto Focus]
Focus Mode [Press scren to focus; Click shot button to shoot]
I put 3 objects to top of my desk , one is close , one is far and other one is between them.
Because of my angle I have background too (Like a earphones and ex. HDD)
When I press and focus closest one that object dosent look focused , Also after I take a shoot middle one is sharp and closest one is blurred.
When I press middle one my background is sharp that three object is blur.
When I press the far one middle one is sharp other scenes are blur.
Also I tried this with macro. Still cant focus where I press. And I didnt go so close it was focusable distance.

About kernel.
I heard some kernels are better than stock kernel.
I am happy with my rom I dont have any problem. But I am thinkin If I update my kernel or change my kernel only is there a any improvements at my phone.

Hi,
Ill try something similar with camera 360 (and the MIUI camera app) in a bit and post results. If it is indeed how you say it is, then the algorithm is flawed and there is little we can do about it.
About the kernel, it is possible to use other kernels as far as I can see. Make a backup of your boot.img and recovery.img and try out some other kernel. Franco's kernel should be fine. In case it does not work, we can always go back to the older ones. Truthfully speaking, you should actually use some of the gingerbread roms instead, they are much more battery efficient for one thing.

Well, I'd like to know what is going to happen with us?
I know at least we got gingerbread working but without photo camera.

So man, tell about your progress with it. Did you get something while you got the phone?
I was desperate because there is another version of android running and we cant still get the camera working for gingerbread.
Gingerbread for me is one of the most important updates. Lets see what ICS got for us.

i dont think we should look at ics much actually i pretty happy with just having ginger bread on this device. Our main concern should be getting the stock camera to work. dont get me wrong fast burst is a quick fix but sometimes the app freezes up on me.

You are not wrong, fast burst is a quick fix, but I think it it isnt.
If we had at least an app to take photos at 3mpx it would be really awsome.
I remember that when CM7 was being adapted to cliq XT, there were some apps that worked.

Still we need someone that knows code or something cause i would love to have the 3mp camera back

To use my word of the day, yes, this is being "uber" difficult to do. Anyone that want's to see where my phone progress is at can check out FedEx's website with this tracking number. 795366278313 . At the time that I posted this it had just left Bend, OR. on it's way to Texas.
++++++++UPDATE++++++++
I forgot to mention, I almost had the camera working. It previewed, it clicked, it saved to the gallery! But exit the camera and it was gone. GONE! Just poof into nothing! I swear. I took like 20 pics almost at the same time, like 1 or 2 mins apart! Saw them all in my gallery in the camera, exited and went to the phones gallery and nothing! I searched all over the file system of the phone and nothing! No trace of anything. Getting close I think.

Using defy camera app with gingerblur, Im able to take photos, a file is saved, but it has nothing on it. You can see file in gallery, but no image.
I made a logcat sometime ago, and I saw something like we are working with a jordan (defy) library which needs to be changed.

Hmmm so what happens if we replace the library?

We have been matching some libs long time ago, but no success!

That sounds great! So what changes exactly did you make to get this close?

I have been doing somethings with walter79, trying to make camera works and trying to port some other MS2ginger (gingerblur) to bravo!
But still nothing, defy has more libs camera files, because there are two versions of the camera for defy (green and red lens) so its not easy, I really hope we get it soon.

I've been thinking that maybe should try porting some rom directly from MILESTONE 2, I dont know if M2 have the same problems with different lens colors, but if not it should be easier to get camera working matching some libs.
@BravoMotorola Is there any rom that you can port some rom?
That maybe must be what we need!!!

I don't think it has to do with lens differences. If it had to do with that then I don't think the camera would even show a picture.

I say that because of the files and libs it uses, sometimes you can see some roms which has 720p recording for green lens and not red.
I mean, there are many files in the defy roms to match with the camera depending on the lens colors, maybe in the M2 roms there arent such files and it can be easier to match libs and get camera working.
Just saying, I'll try to port some M2 rom to my bravo and if it works I'll try to match some libs.

Well truth be told I was removing alot of the Libs from CM and replacing them with the stock libs on the Bravo. Was doing the same with the permissions and I think the com and another folder. Need to take note's . My phone is in Texas now getting looked at by Motorola. New tracking number now. 1102783078. This is the one to see where it's at on repair at Motorola it's self. Life update, sold acouple of my old phones and bought a computer desk. Wife happy that she get's her dining room table back, pissed because she lost a corner of the dining room. I say good trade off.

@BravoMotorola
Is it possible for you to get me the Bravo Stock Rom in another format besides...... CRAP! ALL MY FILES ARE DELETED! Back to 1. NEVERMIND! First smart thing i've done in awhile. BACKUPS! Saved everything on 3 CD-Rom's. OK. Back. @BravoMotorola Now as I was saying, Stock Bravo rom in an update.zip format would be great if it's possible. Pretty pretty please! My computer can now look at differences in file folders and make changes to one based on the other. A little faster than me copying and pasting everything.

Another odd thought occured to me. What if we took the entire lib from the bravo and placed it into the CM7? Not combine the two but just take out the CM7 and replace it? I need my phone back now. Ebay another one? Hmm.... Somebody else try in the meantime please and report findings here. Oh Oh try and google some program that will explore the root system of our phone on a computer. Kinda like back in the day there was P2K editor for all of our really old phones (Like all of my Razrs). I don't think P2K works for the bravo, too new of a phone system? I've been back to "school" on ModMyMoto.com for my other phones and there's a Bravo section on it but never really looked into it since I don't have my Bravo at the moment. Pot of coffee on now diving in.
