[Q] Vignette issue with CM RC2? Resolution here! - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have you noticed that while attempting to take a picture with the Vignette camera app your view is all cropped to only half the screen? This issue came up while running the CM RC1/2 ROM - but good news, heres the simple fix:
Go into "Settings" then enable "Show full viewfinder" and voila - issue resolved!

Thanks for this, it was still having this issue in RC3/RC4 and I had completely forgotten about this setting, and had all but given up vignette for a lost cause

Froyo: Fullscreen photos in gallery are blurry

Does anyone else now have this problem?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Now that you've mentioned it I can see that I am
Once I pinch in a little it sharpens.
Yeah. Omg but when I pinch it gets sharp again...
Nope, not here. Never rooted Desire.
all fine here.
Yeah, I can see it. After the photo stops sliding, it blurs a little, then zooming it goes sharp again. Strange
Same here, I noticed it earlier today... It's quite annoying

As usual, if I wouldn't read stuff on xda, my phone would seem perfect to me. Now that I'm looking into it, it is there, but the funny thing is that it doesn't happen all the time...
No issue here. Non rooted desire.
I have this problem also on 2.2 froyo stock from the forum and rooted.
Anybody has it with the unrooted, normal OTA update ?
If you tap the photo to get back to the "filmstrip" view then tap a photo to go back to full screen it go's clear again!!

YES!!!!
Non rooted non branded Desire. It is 100% issue there. I think the other guys just don't notice it or understand what you mean. Took me a while to see it.
When you browse through the gallery it used to sharpen (on stock 2.1) when you stopped on a gallery pic during your swiping. Just ever so slightly. It does not sharpen now (stock 2.2) unless you adjust the picture using pinch.
You can see this easily by choosing a picture in the gallery and clicking it. now swipe to the images either side of it and back. the picture is very very slightly blurred. pinch zoom it a tiny bit and it instantly sharpens up. I'm sure the gallery used to sharpen the gallery pics automatically in 2.1. Anyone confirm?
edit: although, maybe Im wrong. Did it ever automatically sharpen the gallery pics when yuo stopped on them, or did you have to pinch or tap the image. I think it used to self sharpen. I really don't know without someone on stock 2.1 comparing?

I have same problem with my desire after froyo update
do you think HTC brose this forum to find bugs and issues or do they only go by the number of support tickets they get? I guess this is not a big problem really is it?
It seems they are just using a cached thumbnail for the gallery pics and don't sharpen the "preview" unless you zoom in.
I've contacted HTC about this issue and even given them a link to this thread... Let's see what happens, hopefully it will be fixed in an update soon...
Ok, found what you guys mean. The last picture is always blurry, even if the circle animation has stopped to keep sharpen the rest first.
I'm not sure but I think this happened to me only when I had the picture album widget on the desktop. I removed it, rebooted and accessed photos with the shortcut and so far, no photo has been blurry.
Also going back to choosing the album would fix the issue.

[Q] what could cause the camera autofocus issue?

so i just got my new replacement phone(new luckily)and i was wondering if any of you had any idea of what could cause the autofocus to malfunction..the one i had before i would download these camera fun apps from the store and later it just broke my camera.i just wanna know if rooting contributes to that as well?
If you're using the stock camera press the screen and keep it pressed and it will auto focus for you then it'll take the picture automatically, or you can download camera 360 ultimate which gives you more options on focusing like infinte for far away pics or standard for close range pictures, hope that helps...

I don't think I've heard of rooting affecting autofocus.
yeah i figured it must have been some kind of camera apps that i downloaded..or maybe its just a hardware issue as I've found online others have had this problem before.thanks guys

Pictures are Rotated 90° in Handcent

Just got the SE4GT. Gotta say this is a Great Device!
One of the issues I have is that when I attach a picture to Handcent, and it is converted to MMS, the pic is rotated 90° counter clockwise.
But when I use the native message app, the attachment is in the proper orientation.
The other issue is that when I am going to take a picture, and the camera is in
Portrait mode, the settings are horizontal. If I enable auto rotate in the phone settings, the settings rotate properly. But I usually have auto rotate off. Do I always have to activate it in order to have the camera settings properly orientated?
Don't worry about it... I've tried to manually correct it and send the picture and it just ruins it for the receiver. Even though it looks fncked up it is actually perfectly fine. Get over it, the person that matters (the receiver) sees it just fine and you already knew what it looked like.
...it drove me nuts for a few weeks, but, whatever...it's fine. Just remember to tell yourself that the other person sees it normal.
Thanks.
Didn't realize the receiver gets it correctly.
I put an inquiry into Handcent the other day.
Funny it works correctly in the native message app.
Would appear to be a Handcent compatibility issue.
Hmm I receive them rotated. I am wondering what I can do to fix this as well.
new to the forum and I just wanted to add my issue. I posted an ad on Craiglist from my E4GT and the image was rotated when posted. So i tried to rotate the image and see what happens. Image was still rotated in the post even after clearing cache/cookies. wondering if there is a fix
steve
I was having the issue as posted, in addition to MMS messages Hanging forever, and never get sent.
I since made the SE4GT native Message app the default, and messages are being sent correctly regarding >
1) picture not getting rotated
2) MMS messages being sent without delay
Don't know if it's a Handcent Bug, or a user setting issue.
Nevertheless, the native app is working properly, even though I'd like to use Handcent, as I have on my Evo 4G.
I had to stop using handcent because of this and I have used it for almost 2 years straight. But the stock messanger is cool in landscape mode. Toss in Honey Glow v3 with that themed stock messanger and your not even worries about handcent ( well I do miss being able to send higher quality 1.2mb pica for sure )

I have the inverse issue with Handcent. I have a Galaxy S2 running CM10 (10/29/12 nightly) and the stock messaging app rotates pictures taken in portrait mode by 90 degrees. I have found that Handcent correctly displays/sends the image (on my end and for the recipient).
Same issue with Go SMS
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
The problem is within the camera app and camera hardware. I suggest you use an application like vignette or pudding camera. They use different coding i guess? that allows the picture to taken in the orientation you take them. I will assume you must have auto rotate on for them to know though. Before this, all my pictures would be sent sideways.

Front Facing Camera...

Is anyone's front facing camera pretty sluggish and laggy when using it? I can snap photos fine, but when I'm displaying things through the front camera, it's pretty sluggish when moving about.
Thats because you are video chatting it'll laggy like that.

I don't do video chatting though. It is when I switch the camera from the back one to the front one that I experience lagginess.
Who said he was video chatting lol I didn't see that in op. To answer ur question I see some lagginess to tho not a big deal to me don't use it that much. It actually takes OK pics too.....in a good light setting

Yeah I think you're right. I just tested this out on my sister's Galaxy S 4G, and although they're completely different phones, I think the "lagginess" is just a limitation of the camera and not a defect. I implied in my OP that I had a defect for my FFC, but in reality, I think it's just made that way. It snaps photos fine so I can live with it.
Funny thing is, my old phone, an EVO 3D, didn't have nearly as much stutter or lag on the front facing cam. Oh well. Heh.
I'm not too distrubed by the lag....but I have another problem. Whenever I take a picture using the front camera. It takes it fine, but then instantly mirrors it (Right -> Left). So if someone was standing behind me on the right in the pic, when I capture it, it shows it fine for a second but then reverses it as soon as it goes to the little gallery icon on the bottom left. So tthen the guy looks like hes standing on the left. Any fix for this?
I found this annoying too! But then I discovered all I had to do was flip it in the Samsung photo editor app. Just click the share button and share with photo editor. The second arrow on the top shows rotation options and it looks perfect.

Are you talking about in the market? If you changed your DPI then you will have issues with market capability. As far as updating an app from a website, never heard of it.

[App] Cm focal camera app

Just thought I'd share this with y'all, not mine BTW. Few bugs.

Can you describe what bug is present on this focal for our gnex?
Doesn't work for me. Missing a lib file?
Is the usual that affects everyone I think. Like trying to go to panorama crashes the app, video seems to be flaky. The rest seems good for the most part.
I don't think you need any libs, I installed it myself like a normal app. I'm on paranoid android 3.69 (I think) toroplus and fancy kernel.

have you been allowed to share this? you said this wasn't yours... and it still has bugs... maybe the developers don't want to share their unfinished work...
anyway tested it... i could open it with no force close but it didn't work well it could take photos but did 3 shots at a time and run slowly when saving or using functions
wait for the final version
i'm using GNex with CM10.1 28/07 nightly

It's in the git and able to be compiled, it's shareable
Just out of curiosity, are you going to keep this updated with new releases/updates of the app?

This is CyanogenMod's new camera app for CM 10.2 called Focal. It's open source so of course you aloud to share it, you can modify it or incorporate it into your own rom to. Alot of rom's use CM as a base because it's open source. Can't wait for Focal to be stable & bug free, it will be amazing
So far the bugs I've noticed are panorama FCs the app and video is very buggy like others have said. Also, when video is buggy, it makes the gallery very unstable and I've had to FC it to get it working again. Lastly, when I open Focal initially, it opens just fine, but any subsequent opening just shows a black screen unless I FC the app first and that doesn't always work. And it keeps the soft keys in landscape position. It does seem to shoot faster than the stock camera app and even the Moto X's camera app and has more options than both...just need to have all the bugs ironed out and I think it will be a very good app.
Yeah cm rocks if it's completed it will surely replace my stock camera
There is no quick access to the gallery, is there?
