Develop Bugs

I think that i have a great idea for battery saving

(first sorry for my english if i have any mistakes)
So i have na htc sensation with mike's rom (ARHD 3.6.1) and when i took some pictures and saw that everyone of them have gps cordinations. So that means when i open my camera the gps turns on to see were i'm and that costs a lot of energy isn't that right ? So if that is right and the develepors of new roms can make this to be disabled i think that the batery life will increase. If i'm horribly wrong, please delete this thread.

u are somewhat right! good idea. will think that!

You can actually deactivate that on your own depending on the rom you're using. AOSP roms with typically use the default camera app, and you can deactivate the location storage right through one of the on-screen options once you open the app.
I haven't used a Sense rom in a while so I don't remember the exact steps anymore, but I do remember being able to turn geo-location off there as well.
You had a good idea, but you can already do this yourself in most roms so there's no need for devs to remove the feature in my opinion. I actually like it just because you can tell where a person was when they took the picture, and call bull**** on them if they were lying lol

Yeah i found it in the camera options(silly me ).
Thanks for the advice.

G2 Camera Unable to Focus

The similar threads weren't of any help on this issue from what I could tell, and I'm sure it's something that's a straight forward answer, but I really just wanted to know if there's any way to fix my camera on my G2. The issue I'm having is that while using the Un-Official CM9-RC2 build I'm having serious issues with the camera taking a bit low quality images from time to time, as well as being unable to scan in bar codes due to the fact that it's unable to auto-focus, or even focus on anything for that matter.
If more information needs to be provided, I'll be glad to. I don't consider myself an expert on Android development, so excuse me for this question. Thanks!

First of all you are on an unofficial cm build so you should no get every thing working perfect, try clearing camera data in settings if it does not help
then its certainly your rom but also try clearing cache if it still does not go then maybe you have to change the rom, there are many roms that have camera working in good shape check the developer section an un-official CM will not help always read the details of rom before downloading them every rom has its good and bad so its your choice looking at the kind of roms here i dont think CM is gonna help some dev use them as a base to build stable roms try those
you can try andromadus audacity or mimicry ics and for sense try gen y visionx there are sooo many good roms out there why stick to un -official ones HOPE I HELPED

If that doesn't work, try clearing the cache. If those don't work, it's most certainly your ROM, and you should maybe considering switching to a ROM that has the camera working in good shape. Check the developer section, an un-official CM will not always work, so read the details of the ROM before downloading them to determine whether it's good or bad.
You can always try Andromadus, Audacity, or Mimicry ICS and for Sense you might try gen y visionx. There are so many good ROMS out there, why stick to the un-official ones? Hope I helped!

(The quoted post was edited for more clarity and understanding while I was trying to read over it.)
The camera app doesn't have any cache, I did clear the data but the problem still persists. I'll consider using another ROM, however I do believe it's mainly the camera drivers for ICS for G2 that are just rubbish at the moment though. I was mainly seeing if anyone had any fixes or recommendations besides just switching.

You're right, the quality won't be as good in ICS as it was in GB. I can't say the same for JB, but for ICS we need(ed) major changes/rewrites to the camera drivers in general.

Developers tried tirelessly to get the camera codes from Qualcomm, not sure they gave them out so the dev had to work around it. But some sense ics roms have very good camera quality and HD video . I am on gen y vision X you can try that

Finally ready to move off GB

Any recommendations for ics roms I'm leaning towards mimicry since I want as much speed and stability as possible. I've been on glite for along time so performance and stability is a huge plus!
I prefer non sense roms with overclocking ability. being pretty it's a plus but not a must. I def want the most stable camera and I don't mind having to tweak out a bit. Any advice?

I think you're on the right track with Mimicry. In my experience it's been very stable, smooth, an fast. It's meets all your criteria. By default it's overclocked to 1.2 GHz, and has the option to install V6 Supercharger. I'd highly recommend it. As for pretty, Sonny Sekhon makes some incredible ISC/JB themes. Also, all ICS ROMs for the Vision have issues with 3rd party camera apps due to missing drivers. In my experience the stock camera works just fine.

I don't mind the stock camera, since frankly I have other camera apps I've never even run lol. does the stock camera do panoramic pics?

Yeah, I thought I'd miss all my camera applications, but at this moment in my life the stock camera completely suffices. I haven't used the panorama option, but... yes, it's appears (just checked it) to be working... I've been using Mimicry for several months now and I'm still excited about it. I was a long time ILWT (CM7) user and I never thought an ICS ROM could compare, but Mimicry truly does. I actually flashed back to GB a couple weeks ago - just to see - and I missed blk_jack's ROM immediately. If you take a look at some of the other "best ICS ROM" threads I think you'll see that a huge population are loving Mimicry. Good luck!

killj0y, I had the same dillema, but was using stock rom.
Friend of mine that already was testing other roms told me to experiment with Andromadus, and especially with Mimicry http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714187
With latest radio it's just very good concerning the 'out of the box' installation experience.
The only problems were with camera, but I never experienced any issues because I use default campera app, and the only program that was giving weird effects was Google Goggles.
The lack of drivers for camera is annoying when recording video, 480p only.
Recently I started to experiment with Andromadis JellyBean development builds, they they got some minor issues. There still happen some camera issues, but video recording is ok @ 720p. In general it was a bit sluggish, but managed to fix that installing DataSwap - it really helps.
Just wait till Mimicry gonna switch to JellyBean and it's gonna by awesome.

Awesome I have had the latest radio for a while now since the ota so no issues there. I thought i was having the wifi dropout issue when i first booted but might have been a false alarm. Either way i have the files needed in my dropbox just in case. I hadn't thought about google goggles damn that kinda sucks but i can live with that. I was kinda bummed about the 720p but i rarely record video, but when I do i like it being the best quality i can manage since it will suck that much less lol.:good:

[Q] 4.4... to flash or not to flash

Would any of you who are currently running one of the 4.4 roms care to give some feedback on your experience - I've used CM 7-10, SlimBean 4.3, and Pacman 4.3 before on other devices...
Hopefully this isn't a redundant post, but I don't see nearly as much use feedback as I had in traditional threads that I've seen in other forums. Though there seems to be a much lower volume of people in this forum as well... Hopefully this doesn't piss off developers as that's not my intention... I need my phone to function as a daily driver... so I'm asking for feedback before I greatly alter my phone...
Do you use a 4.4 rom you use as your daily driver?
Are there any gotcha's or does the rom fulfill your every need/desire?
Does Wi-Fi work consistently/well?
Does bluetooth/A2DP streaming work consistently/well? Does the music app provide mp3 tag info via a2dp? (what music app do you use?)
How's the camera image quality? (I feel like the stock 4.3 camera leaves something to be desired with is sad... Has the CM team fixed sphere so it's functional/consistent? Does it do panorama shots?
How's system stability? (This may be meaningless if everyone's flashing nightlies everyday)
How's call quality?
Does your phone Heat up with basic use? How's battery life?

Well, I recommend you to read the threads about every 4.4 based rom, then you'll know most of the issues. I wouldn't use any of them.
Before my last Nexus 4, I had a Razr Maxx with 4.4.2 Slim rom. The first week using as my main rom everything was fine, fast, stable and battery saver. But all the problems started in the second week. Freezing at main screen, force closing most of the apps... I had to reinstall or even update to another version.
I got tired of that and rolled it back to Stock 4.1.2. The phone gained another stand. More battery life (3300mah was awesome), speed and stability. My sister still using it with the same version and she had no problems in five months.
If you decide to use, you'll need patience to keep updating your phone constantly till the final release.

The reason I'd created this post is because much of the information I was asking about wasn't apparent in either the FXP or Omni posts...
When I look at the 4.4 issues log on the FXP post, I see so many issues that would directly impact me, I'm concerned about actually running that.
Perhaps I'm finding the wrong threads, but there isn't alot of extra info in the ZL forums... I'm unsure if the Z forum posts apply.

Stock ROM or Nougat custom ROM?

Hi to everyone, recently I acquired (as a gift) this device (a RIO-L03, probably I'll change it soon, it's a "temporal" device). The performance and the battery are pretty good by my standards, but I don't like EMUI in overall. It is worth it flash a custom ROM for more performance/experience or just stay here in Marshmallow with EMUI? What are the advantages and inconvenients?
Thanks in advance, people.

Well, It depends on wha you're looking for.
I have my L03 and it was running MM B340 (it was supposed to solve whatsapp notification problems) but as time passed by It started to have some issues with apps like twitter, FB, Instagram and Whatsapp (Forced Closes). Furthermore, I commenced to experience some lag on my phone, even when just one app was running. In the end I decided to flash a N rom (AOSP Extended 4.4) and I can tell you is a lot better then the MM. Faster, easier to use, with no lag and battery life is greater. The only thing I can complain about is the CAMERA. This is, you lose your native camera app (huawei cam) by flashing in the ROM the Google cam. It's not as good as the original one and GC doesn't contain as many functions as the Huawei one.
Customization is amazing. And the possibility to root it is really easy.
However, you said it is only temporary and it might take more time to flash than the time you'll have this phone. So you keep it, you won't regret having a N rom. You change it, enjoy it as it is.
Regards.

Thanks for being the only person who reply, seriously. I've considered too much that option because, as like you, the phone has started to lagging and certanly it lost a bit of smoothness in overall (especially in menus like Settings or just in basic apps like WhatsApp). I can't complain too much about the camera because it just expendable for me, same with root. (I mean, I like Xposed/Magisk but I prefer just the personalization of AE with Substratum and still playing Pokémon GO and LL!, lmao). Again, thanks for your time, and I'll change to AOSP Extended soon. (Further, I'm going to give this phone to my mother, hopefully she's gonna have a fluid and solid experience)
Cheers.

Very thanks for this informative post! where is the best rom rootless for my RIO-L03?
