Camera and CM9

Hello, I have been following the development of CM9 for a while now. Almost all roms can not get the camera working. I read there is a change in the framework and that is why it is now hard for older phones. But what has changed to stop the camera? Is the camera a hard device to get drivers for? Any clarity would be amazing just so I can understand the issue. Many thanks

It's only a matter of time I think before they get it sorted.
I just tried my first ICS based rom yesterday on my SGS2 and it is almost perfect, really good.
Camera works, but no video function (for me anyway!)
Exciting times.

I agree with thomss79. "Only a matter of time". Also the drivers are important. Looking through the threads on here, some drivers, and or source code, has been released for the Atrix from Nvidia and Moto. Not sure if that will help ICS, camera (and kernel) tho. Anyway, the devs on here should sort it out before too long. Thought i would be stuck on Froyo ( 2.2.2 ) forever. Unlocked and tried nearly all roms now, including early ICS

I heard drivers were an issue for CM9. I'll wait A LOT before installing ICS anyway, CM7 took a long time to get to this (awesome) point, and I will NOT switch to a less functional ROM just because it looks prettier. I'm extremely happy with CM7 for the time being.

I understand that the camera is not working on CM9 build....and that's ok for now but is there a reason why my gallery is not working?
I can't seem to view mms messages or downloaded pics

Try using quickpic.
When i was on my captivate camera (video and image) worked great on CM9.
Sucks that i'm using a nokia dumbphone atm.

They've had their hands full.. in due time we will have a 100% functioning rom.

thanks for the tip. quickpic works great. have access to my pics

Regarding why, as far as I know it's due to camera API changes in ICS. This causes troubles for the way cameras work earlier, and requires new driver. Again I'm not completely sure, this is just something I picked up in other threads. On a side note, the camera is mostly working in turl's new builds (and jokersax's) over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445052 as I'm sure you're aware . Hope that clears some confusion!

Issues when downgrading
Though I was just fiddling around with CM9 and Ice cream sandwich, when I downgraded back to 2.3.4(stock), the camera app refused to work. Camera app just crashes. Is there any permanent change that CM9 does to the device interface that may be causing this.
Thanks

Shouldn't be anything permanent. How did you revert to stock?

Running CM9 with camera & video camera
I am running CM9 Turl's V8 and have installed camera 360 which runs great. found that in Turls CM9 thread. And people are using video illusion for video recorder. Problem solved

You really just dont know what you're missing. The camera DOES work...to everyone saying it doesnt...well, thats just not 100% true. There are significant problems, some lag and delays, but it IS functional.
Using a camera app usually cures all the problems tho.

I'd suggest formatting /system and then do a regular data wipe then reinstall and see if that works.

+1, camera is working, running cm9 as my daily

I flash the stock rom using fastboot, i.e. fastboot flash system system.img, so I'm assuming that would format the /system directory. Im still a noob at this so any advice would be much appreciated. Also, the camera does not work in the new cm9 beta, so I am assuming there is some sort of firmware issue with the camera.
Thanks

I would definitely try reflashing, cause the camera is working for me on Jokersax's latest build.

front camera
Also, the front camera works when I use camera 360, so it seems to be a device driver/ firmware issue. Anyone else having similar problems?

Everything seems to run just fine. Had some problem with charging, but i solved it by plugging it into the wall, and not the USB port.

amazing, no fc, no bugs so far, smooth. Now i have charged fully, calibrated and going to check battery life ;D now waiting for criskelo rom with this firmware

Am having problems with the phone signal sometimes it goes off and on and then off again.
EDIT: i did a factory reset and everything is perfect now !

I think you shouldn´t suggest to flash ANY LP1-6 kernel anymore. Today, everybody should know the danger of them...

Ultrafine! The only one thing missing is the possibility to change the DPI!!

Works well enough but Samsung seem to have tried to hide the simple elegance of stock ICS in some ways. Thinking of going back to CM9. Not much of a pen user anyway ,

Hi can someone confirm that rSAP is working?
Thanks

Loving the ICS release except for one thing.....
I toggle silent/vibrate on and off quite a lot. When I do this, using the long-press power-button menu, some wonderful person has decided that I am so clueless, I need a confirmation dialogue box.
"Warning! Silent mode will be enabled OK/Cancel"
Gasp! Really!?!?! I had no idea that would happen when I purposely held down the power button and then with delicate intent selected the desired silent-mode function.
Just. Wow. It's supposed to be a shortcut, and Samsung just ruined it. Of course, I flashed completely stock without root, so I'm probably stuck with this until somebody figures out how to root this stock ICS release. (Maybe they have already, I'll do a search).
It's a small complaint to most people, but I toggle silent on and off many times a day. This is a huge annoyance. I'll see if there are any lockscreen toggles I can get - actually, EVERY single android release or skin should have silent/vibrate toggle on the lock screen, as it was in the earlier android releases. Motorola seems to be the only one who realises this. Sheesh....

Generally good, am upset by the lack of 160 dpi/tablet conform, just be aware if you're going for lower dpi's you'll face fc's

Camera is really slow

Hi. Has anyone experienced really slow camera performance with S3 Neo? Like you pressing shutter button in camera app and image is actually being taken 3-8 seconds after that?
I got this issue on CM12 and CM12.1, didn't tried other ROMs yet. I've tried different camera apps, Google Camera, OpenCamera and CM stock one. Each of those apps seems to be affected the same way. It works a bit better after reboot and cleaning camera app cache but I can't do that often. If someone can help me with this, I'd really appreciate. Thanks.
PS: I've tried camera fix from this forum but probably it's for some other issue as my camera stopped worked completely after applying fix and I had to re-flash ROM.

Camera fix is for devices that have a different camera sensor (there are two). So that's indeed not the right file. As for the camera speed, I'm not really sure. Mine is also really slow (cm12,1). I've come to live with it because i rarely use my camera anyway. I've tested some touchwiz based roms, and the camera was faster on those :/

OK, it seems like we're getting somewhere. Could it be CM issue? Maybe some other CM users can write a word about their camera app speed? I really like CM though, stock ROMs are overloaded with tons of software that is never used.

Nikola's CM have some issues with camera timing, and Motion based roms have laggy camera performance
Better to go with stock, because it uses the camera at the maximum performance.

Thanks! I'm currently testing CM based '[ROM][Stable][5.1.1][December 31]Resurrection Remix 5.5.9 - Final version' and it looks better. Need more testing though. Stock is too awful to use, I'd better live with slow camera, but maybe there's a solution.

Nope, Resurrection Remix is slow either, CM's curse. OK, I got it - fast camera OR fast ROM, no exceptions. Too bad, maybe CM13 will fix this?

Camera Quality is Poor
S3 original is better than this..
regards Junaid Shahid

I've found 'lite' version of original firmware made by guys from 4PDA (link to original thread, sorry it's in russian).
It's 500 MB in archive and almost all Samsung stuff has been removed, so it's as clean and fast as possible. Camera works fine. In case someone else may need it, here's direct link.
Please note that I'm not the author of this firmware, not related to him in any way and not responsible for your flashing experience.

It runs very good on E6883

Flashed the latest Mokee ROM (March 10th version). WOW does it work so well! Other than lack of fingerprint sensor (which I don't use), I've never seen such a stable AOSP ROM as this! Also it comes with working kernel and TWRP recovery! I've already placed SuperSU and Viper4Android and my phone is kicking real hard! Camera is basic but works beautifully, and it reads my 128GB MicroSD card as well.
Really impressed.
Since the new nightly came out, you might give it another try for E6853? It seems to accept single sim model as well, and hopefully that night build resolved not all but some issues?

I can't flash it on my E6833, says device is not compatible during the install , also errors about E: not mounted.

version I used is MK71.2-satsuki-201704211533-NIGHTLY Model : E6853
First link is the picture with the default app.
the other two are screenshots of the default app open
Video also works EDIT:2 (Bug using the Volume keys to Zoom freezes the picture while recording, the recorded video also has this frozen picture) zooming with finger is still ok and working.
https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...?key=T2oxU0EyQ2VmWUtEbDhULXJENU9iVlREdFJUMEV3
Over all this rom is solid. runs extremely fast in comparison to stock, Games load crazy fast, I don't even see the loading screen on one of them anymore.
Google apps are all working
Wifi and mobile data are working
fingerprint reader is working
all standard AOSP features look like they're working normally, I've not had any FCs or problems since last night when i flashed it.
it is missing some features or i'm not sure where to activate them, like the split screen feature of Android 7 .... maybe its not in the AOSP roms yet, or it was taken out as a useless feature.
But over all, very snappy rom. very stable, except for the aforementioned bug in the video recorder, this is my new daily driver i think. a bit more testing and observation but i think Mokee has a winner there.
................................................ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> .........................................................
Final Edit.
A few days later
stable. solid. quite simply one of the best open source roms ive used.
faster than stock in every way. has built in root, built in privacy controls, best battery management ive ever seen in a phone.
options for this i thought should have been standard in android already.
like reversing the volume keys in landscape mode.
per app. notification management
DPI setting
much much better app loading. still cant get over how fast my games load.
but ... there is always a but.
the camera after alot more testing, just ain't the same. its a fine camera app. and it works well. as solid as the rest of the rom. but the over all quality when compared​ to my older photos of things I took in the same light conditions, sony stock with post processing just kills it.
gonna go back to custom debloated stock once Xposed is updated for 7.
ill keep an eye on mokee roms though, except that camera. the rom is just amazing. once a top quality decent camera is made that works for this rom. it will easily be the best rom made for this phone.

Post 12 is positive, does anyone have any news about the full functioning of the Rom on the E6853?

Can any one post some screen shots!?
