[Q] Recommended barcode scanner for CM10.0 - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is the best barcode scanner app for use in a CM10 / 4.1.1 defy using the SOC (green lens) camera? The standard Zimg one does not have working autofocus, with any of it's settings.
Alternatively, as Zimg is open source, what would be required to get autofocus working on it?

Try QuickMark, on google play.

or QR Droid

Thanks
Quickmark has the same problem as ZBar - it doesn't focus.
Thanks for the suggestion of QR Droid. It works OK, but is rather slow on the 2D barcodes I want to scan.
I'm also using 'Barcode QR Scanner', which works reasonably well, but the interface is a pain. It's another ZBar repackage, but the focus works.

Now i am back on cm9 nightly 04.06 everything nice but qr code scanner doesnt work anymore.
I think the problem is the stock cm9 camera app took picture not in fullscreen solution, but the qr scanner (i use barcoo, qr scanner doesnt work for me) shows fullscreen so the qr code square is more like a oblong or box (i hope one of the words are correct, i doesnt know the english word).
I hope someone can help me because ics is too nice but qr scanner are too essentially.

Same here!!! Stopped working for me too when I flashed Epsylon's latest! The camera is buggy. It worked fine with Quarx's latest!!
I got a defy green lens, so camera works fine for me on epsylons latest and was buggy on quarx latest for defy.
I think the only problem is that the qr scanner tries to make fullscreen pics and so the qr code cant be read correctly.
I hope you the screenshot is helps you to understand the problem

[Q] HD2 GApps 4.2 & Photosphere

Hi,
i've installed latest GApps from Nexus 4 Rom, and tried the Photosphere, it works except combine photos together. I think because the HD2 has no Gyro-Sensor. Is there a way to get it work just the same?
HD2 have gyroscope
It has a G-Sensor (accelerometer) but i think a gyroscope sensor is something different
Sorry, my bad
Photosphere si working for me BUT is slow as.. It has blue point,I put it inside a circle and it make a photo and then it start moving the picture to the other one. During that procedure you can have a coffee break it takes a lot of time.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using xda app-developers ap
I now use 360 panorama, it works great without gyro sensor!

[bug] Czechop CM11-2014-02-04 reboots, barcode scanner

I noticed two issues with Czechop cm11 2014-02-04 build. Would gladly post them in ROM thread, but I have too few posts at this point to do that .
1. Once in a while a message saying something like "Phone restarted due to error in mobile networking" pops up. I have not seen the reboot itself. I will try to update with an exact message, but It will be probably in Polish.
2. ZXing Team's barcode scanner crashes after showing camera image for a split second. Image is stretched vertically, camera clicking noise can be heard. I still can make photos as usual, using photo app.
Also, seems that [Alt]+[Shift]+[letter] = alternative letter does not work for me (e.g. [Alt]+[Shift]+[a] = "ą", but I will need to look further into this.

That might be the barcode scanners fault. I'm on CM10.2 by EngleMars and after the last update of the barcode scanner it crashes in the same way as yours.
----Edit----
I debugged the barcode scanner and found the reason for the crashes. Here is the bug report I just submitted: https://github.com/zxing/zxing/issues/75
It isn't really a barcode scanner bug but more a bug somewhere in the system (don't know if android, CM or the people porting CM to our MS2 are at fault here).
----Edit2----
Alright - the guy behind barcode scanner won't fix it. So I build a working version myself.
You can get the apk here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bxvomoky9brbs02/Barcode Scanner.apk
To install it you first have to uninstall the version from Google Play because they are signed with different certificates.
If you don't trust my version you can review/build it from here: https://github.com/503e2/zxing
This is so nice, thank you very much. Now i finally can use threema right... greetings.

Google Camera - "Cannot connect to camera."

Hey guys, I was testing out the Google Camera app (because I like to consider all of my options) when I noticed that trying to switch to video mode causes a "Camera Error: Cannot connect to camera." All other 3rd party camera apps I've tried have worked with video. Does anyone else know why this may be happening? I'm guessing because it's just not fully compatible with the G4 camera, but I'd love to use Google Camera as my daily use camera app.
Double check the permissions on the app and make sure it's allowed to access the camera.

Yes, it is. It works for normal pictures just not for video.
Odd. Unfortunately I'm not sure then.

Yes. Everything seems to be in order.
New Google camera apps have a different API or lib (for videos and panoramas) only present on the Nexus phones. The last version of the Google camera app that works on any phone is 2.7.008 available on apkmirror, but with Moto G?, if you want to use photosphere or paborama, you have to focus in the main camera and the switch to mode that you want... Otherwise, you'll get a really blurry photo.

(Guide) Camera flash fix \weird green photo fix nougat (UPDATED HAL2 TOO)

HI,
i'm on the lastest Nitrogen Os rom. The rom is fantastic, despite the camera that act weird and it's too much instable (i have those problem on all Nougat Roms).
I found a Workaround to fix flash and camera derps (green\black photos).
Camera hal2 derps:
Derp1
Derp2
Roms with stablest camera i've tested: NitrogenOs, Dirty Unicors, Caf Aosp, CitrusCaf.
First, download (or buy) Snap Camera HDR Trial from playstore. Than go to:
-settings
-other
-scroll down to use camera2 API, tap and select force hal1 (if you can't, download a previous Snap Camera version, like 8.2.6)
-reboot
-done
UPDATE:
SNAPCAMERA HAL2 by @Shaky156 (Tested on Dirty Unicorns 7.1 by @poad42, if you try to other roms feel free to say if it works or not).
Use this camera if you want to avoid camera hal1. To avoid Camera switch crash, wait until focus finish. Expect more app crashes.

FOR VIDEOS:
-FOOTEJ CAMERA
FLASH FIX
FLASH FIX UPDATED
(tx to @hichaam, @Umang96)
This will fix camera in Nougat Roms?
-No\Yes. Only updated camera blobs can hard fix. But camera is STABLE now with hal1.
So why i should do that?
-If you make photos, this fix green screen and flash problems. But kills video in snap camera.
-For my phone, this is a STABLE way to make photos, as i like to shot pics with it.
Also expect some crash when opening to much camera apps. <--- fixed in last NitrogenOS
This is a workaround, we can't do nothing until xiaomi relases Android 7.0, or some other brand with sk5p3 camera sensor ( Ulefone Future, Samsung C series, Vernee Apollo Lite) do.
PS a copy of my post in other trhead:
CAMERA FLASH\RANDOM REBOOTS FIX:
-INSTALL NITROGEN OS (MAYBE WORK IN OTHER ROMS, BUT I VE TRIED IT ON NITROGEN, SO..)
-DOWNLOAD SNAP CAMERA HDR
-ENABLE IN SETTINGS FORCE HAL1
-REBOOT APP
-ENJOY YOUR FULLY FUNCTONIG CAMERA
FOR VIDEO:
-DOWNLOAD FOOTEJ CAMERA
-MAKE VIDEO
-- don't make videos with snapcamera because won't work.
Its important for you (until you answer to me: camera is working dude, even with api2.0 blablalba) that api2.0 are INSTABLE. They work for limited times, and 80% of times you get no flash, no manual ISO, reboots etc. Camera HAL1 will make our camera STABLE again, with flash synced in EVERY photos you makes. Only Videos won't work with HAL1 in Snap Camera HDR.
Also in snap camera you will find some interesting goodies for our crappy cameraphone. Its important that you will enable:
-ZERO STUTTER LAG (your device will capture the image at over9000 speedo)
-LENS SHADING (it gives better image quality in borders)
-MEMORY COLOR ENCHANE (better colors)
-DENOISE (remove the exagerate noise of our thin sensor)
-Sharpness -2 (remove the exagerate noise of our thin sensor)
So yes.. try it, for me its working for 2 weeks now.

Try to make multiple photos with flash. You will notice that camera can't sync it, or it will not start at all. Even with Footej camera i have Weird green screen, like many others.
I just tried in the dark room with flash on and auto focus on with footej and did about 20 shots, always worked...guess im lucky...but on all other ROMs it did not work or recording failed...

I'm also using Footej camera & NOS (01.23). I didn't edited anything. Video record is okay, and the flash also in photo mode.

Flash in N roms works 70% of times first time u open camera (even less sometimes). It's a common problem of all roms because camera sources. This is the method to assure 100% working flash\camera with all tryng. Its normal that if you take 2 photos here and there, you will notice nothing. I take 40-50 photos a week with this phone (even more), so i need stable camera. And i can assure you that this is the only method that works until now with nougat.
