ok i had my X8 about a month ago and since then i tried every ROM that's out there literally. Recently i settled to froyobread for about 10 days and now floyo 0.25
my problem in both is the cam after taking a few shots, the camera screen black out or the cam button dies on me and i really hate it
i take a lot of pictures and i just hate it when the prefect shot gets lost because of a stupid glitch. i can give away EdgeGlow if there is a ROM that has a fully working cam with no bugs.
the reason for the thread is to ask u X8 users instead of going all over the ROMs again ( i still have them all ) to see the stable cam, Could anyone tell me what's the best ROM to take pictures with?? and please don't tell me to go back to Eclair (2.1)
thank u all

ok just to make everyone aware, the problem is persistent even in market cam apps, i tried all the above apps. i guess it's the hardest if not impossible to operate the cam blindly just by guessing parameters in custom roms; gingerbread now is a live example.
anyway i would never back to eclair so i'll have to deal with that bug for now.

like i said i tried all the ROMs but then i wasn't testing all the things but i remember ditching minicm because the power gadget looked like it lacked some colors or scaled up. i guess it's because of the screen size difference between X8 and X10 mini. however i remember the beautiful animations especially for boxes popping up.
just plz confirm that i can take like 10 shots in succession (say with 1 sec delay) without the cam bugging on me
Forget the stock camera apps and use Camera Illusion.
It´s better, doesn´t have errors and has great effects, like negative and that stuff.
I do experienced the same thing..
try other alternative. I'm using Camera Advance Lite, it works perfect.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mnapps.cameraadvancelite
This is the same thing which happens with me. I tried using alternative camera apps like vignette but still the same problem.
After some shots, the camera just blacks out and you cannot take any pics after that until a reboot is made.

Hi guys,
Can you please let me know if it's normal to have only a 777 score on Quadrant with Froyo 2.2 on Dell Streak?
I've just got the phone and haven't done anything to it until now.
What are the main things I should look after to improve performance, launchers...and so on?
Is there an easy guide on how to root it? Can I get back to stock if I want to return it to warranty?
Thanks for helping a noob fellow on Dell Streak. I was using HD2 until now and moved to Streak...but i'm a bit dissapointed.
777...thts around how much u r gonna get on the official 2.2....when i was on it it used to avg around 850...
what u can do is either use the performance fix found in this forum( actually go to streak android development)...just scroll down..ull find a thread titled 2.2 performance fix....and install it based on whichever baseband u r on...
or else u cud try going to steve's 1.5.1 version, instructions for which can also be found in this forum...
and obviously u can get it back to stock config whenevr u want if u ever need to do tht for warranty reasons...

Is there also a camera fix? It does extremely bad pictures in low-light. Even the HD2 I had with android did better pictures. Or perhaps another camera app?

well there is no such camera fix...i have to agree, streak doesnt have the best 5 megapixel camera...sometimes my 3.5 mp cam on my 5800 outperforms it in low light conditions...
there are some camera apps....i have only used 1 so far...called as camera 360...u can find it on the market...u can add lots of effects to photos..u can chk it out...
DO you mind taking a picture in a completely dark room and share with me? mines have a green tint on them as if they were taken with a night vision camera. Many thanks in advance mate!
Will try doing later..am out at the momemt..

well more than getting a night vision kinda photo my photos show nuthin....the flash is too weak to capture an entire room space...
results are better if u have an object a few feet away...
and also the green comes if the autofocus hasnt happened properly....atleast for me....
will post pics later if u want...
well, streaks definitely not a substitute for a digital camera especially in low light and dark conditions...
but then, thts not the reason why I ( and I am sure several others) bought it,,

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

Yes I read it, lets hope motorola send you another bravo.
I thought that you were going to be without your bravo alredy, but I see you can get another one.
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?

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.
I don't know if this has been posted already, but i have this pretty big issue with my phone. The thing is, in the stock camera app i can't really focus on objects closer than 6-7inches, while on other not strictly camera apps (for example Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp Camera) i can focus really really close, like 2-3 inches away. Is there any way to fix that?

By far this one . http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=s3ve3g . The only disadvantage is that it has no camera and flashlight (at least for me ). But by performance side and glitches it absolutely amazing.

What exactly do you mean by "it has no camera and flashlight" lol?! Of course it does, and if the camera isn't working you are supposed to flash the camera fix.
