CM7 Camera doesn't shoot in HD?

I don't know if it's just me but whatever:
I rooted + installed CM7 on my Phone and I'm pretty happy about it. Everything runs smooth etc.
But I have one problem:
The camera...
I don't know why but it seems that camera app for CM7 is just pure crap
1.The shutter sound... oh my god...
2.The focus sound....
3.IMAGE QUALITY
I don't know why but it doesn't shoot in the full resolution. If I shoot a panorama photo I'll get black bars on the sides of my screen. That didn't happen with my normal sense camera.
So my question is, if I'm able to install my Sense camera on my CM7 phone, or if there is another camera that shoots in full resolution while supporting CM7...

Anybody?

[Q] HD recording, hapenning or not? :confused:

Dear Dev's , thank you for all your hard work making Android work on our beloved HD2 devices.
At the moment I have Hyperdroid CM7 v3.0.1 , best rom in my opinion, but still missing 720p recording...
I would like to know what, how, where and all the stuff that needs to be looked at
in order to bring true HD 720p recording with autofocus and hopefully zoom while recording.
I know that it might sound a lot but for me that is the most important thing I would love to have fully working in my phone as so many others users I'm sure.
If some of the recognized dev's will give me a hint where to look and how , etc I would like to try and get it working, using my own device for testing purposes.
Knowing that HD rec works in WP7 , can we create drivers that will work with the WP7 ones to get it working under android?
Thank you all and hopefully someone will be able to help me and others.

Try a JW MIUI rom instead ;-)
It has HD camcorder, though no zoom while recording...

That one has only 800x480 which is 480p not 720p....Hyperdroid CM7 has same resolution and almost all android ports have it, but so far no 720x1280 with 25-30 fps.
Cheers.

[Q] about hyperdroid

hi all;
especially my question/ask is to Pongster and/or Hyperdroid team.
i like your rom and still using it bu i have a problem with sound. it is so low...i use some app but i didn't satisfied about them. despite i set all voices loud i cannot hear my phone on a crowded place. with winmo6.5 it was really high.
could you please anyone inform me how can i set my HD2 voice???

With Volume+ (Free Version), my sound is perfect, loud and clear.

Am thinking of using this build. How is its battery consumption and camcorder recording? Can it record at 720p for up to 30min?

1080p 60fps recording on AOSP

Before i get chastised for asking this. I have tried every camera apk (the lg cameras) for aosp and i cant get a single one to record 1080p 60fps. It will look like 60 fps in the viewfinder before i press record and then the framerate just completely drops . Is there a fix or something i dont know about? Im on the latest build of paranoid android.

since the camera module isnt open sourced we cant merge those features into aosp roms. also all these 60fps and 120 fps recordings require those dammed libs which are again, closed source. so if you want camera features like me. id suggest cloudystock 2.2. its a nice rom with good battery life and not much bloat .

Thanks for the reply. I guess i'll either stick with the oneplus one camera app for now since its pretty good (aside from being able to do 60fps) or try out cloudystock like you said

If you like a darker UI try out cloudyflex

Best Camera for Custom ROM

hey guys, just wondering if you guys can list your recommendation for best alternate camera on R4P when using a custom rom (LOS, RR, etc)?
Biggest annoyance for me i've noticed is "shutter lag"; the viewfinder tends to pause and i have to wait before i can take the next picture. Which doesn't really happen with the default MIUI camera.
I've tried a couple, open, snap, htcfix, but yet to find one truly that's smooth. Any recommendations?

The cyanogenmod camera that comes stock with mokee/los seems to be working best for me. Have tried a bunch of camera apps and they all either have a ****ty UI or are functionally deficient in some way. Google camera would be great (love that HDR+) but it crashes when switching to video mode.

Yeah.. not sure why it is but the shutter lag just really kills me. I'm half tempted to go back to MIUI just for the camera. Best one for me i've tried so far is the HTC one.
Guess have to wait and see if Camera2 api makes any difference

I use Open Camera, it has a lot options to customize camera behaviour. I like it's UI.

Has anyone of u tested new ported MIUI camera on custom rom? i dont own anymore r4p but i see lot of u still have trouble with camera and recording.
just test this https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...aomi-mi-a1-t3670607/post73732145#post73732145
for better results edit xml file to pass your device name.

Open camera is the best for photos, better than footej
