ICS Video camera

Quick question - now that the photo camera on ICS for Desire Z is mostly working, would it be hard to get it to make movies?
I have no idea how hard this is to do. Just asking

You'd have to write the code.

I am not a developer, but I am certain that, yes, this is a very hard thing to do and I really haven't read anything about progress in this regard, since zbuw came up with the initial workaround to get the camera partially working.
The main problem still seems to be that, so much code has changed in ICS that we basically need new drivers from htc or qualcomm in order to get it fully working. I expect that we won't see full camera functionality until a leak comes up from which we can extract the drivers (I don't know enough about the similarities of other devices, hardware-wise, to guess on how likely this is.

That's normally fair game but you're replying to someone who can't even post in the dev section yet, don't make him download backup wipe flash discover it isn't working then restore.. no, to the best of my knowledge (having just tested it and seen it reported elsewhere) recording does not work at this time (unless some wild development has happened in the past couple days).

thanks. I will give that a shot. I kinda need video recording working from time to time, so it will be painful running ROM without it ... is that true that none of ICS ROMs have the video camera working (just pic taking)?

From everything I have read either here or CM, what I believe they are waiting on is drivers from either HTC or Qualcom to further develop the camera. I believe they have it working somewhat. I am NOT a dev by any stretch just passing along what I have read.
Hope this helps

Yes this is true, and even picture taking is iffy at best (you have to install third party app and most people can only take non-buggy pictures at VGA (really low) quality)
If you need video recording AT ALL do not use ICS yet.

thanks guys, those statements change the ground. in fact I will wait a little longer until those drivers get released and developers can fix camera issues.
I use camera for pics often and videos occasionally, so I wouldn't like a phone like that at all.
also, what does it mean that GPS is "kinda" working now (Andromadus v10), it's broken or not?
I use Google Navigation frequently whenever I get lost or traveling to current closest (unknown) chain store location and such ... and I kinda rely on that ... I guess I need to wait for a beta ROM, alphas are not for me yet.

[PATCH] ICS Call echo FIX + [potential] car dock audio fix (Update II - 04/30/12)

FOR AT&T LEAK BASED ROMS ONLY. NOT FOR CM9 or gingerbread!!!
Hi all,
No more call echo
This fix uses the proper T989 audio parameters so noise suppression actually works like it should (car dock should work too in theory). On top of that is Samsung Diamond Voice Engine which really makes calls sound great.
It fixes the issue at the core, within the audio libraries. The audio paramaters and noise cancelling routines now work as they should.
UPDATED
I think I finally fixed this f$cking issue once and for all. For real this time. Try out the newest update I have attached to this post (Diamonds.zip)
This patch is a breed of libraries from the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Blaze. It took me a very long time to put it together. But with a lot of work and hex digging I found the perfect combination.
I don't even think T-Mobile's ROM is going to sound this good
You might still have to turn down your volume a notch if you have a troublesome case, but I am going to make a bold statement and say that this should fix the problem for a 90% portion of you
Also--by its nature--this newest patch should fix the car dock audio problems. I can't test it to confirm. Please let me know if it does.
Report back with results!
Devs you are free to use. Credit is all I ask I spent lots of time on this and not enough time working on a project due tomorrow >_<
To the kind folks that donated to me in the past few days. thank you and I will thank you personally and address my PMs too. Been on and off the grid because of finals.
Cheers

Dear sweet baby jesus yes!! DLing, gunna see what happens! ur the effin man, seriously.

I've made two phone calls yaldak and asked if they here an echo. They both said no..
1st call was w/ case
2nd call was w/o case
Before it was hit and miss for me some ppl would complain if echoing bothers were not..
So far so good brother
Edit 1 : have not had an oppurtunity to test compass.

Good to hear. Compass is still broken in this version
Did 4 test calls myself. All reported no echo.

I know people keep saying he fixed it, but if he did. I would expect he would have released it. Unless he is doing the community a disservice and trying to squander the fix for him self only for glory or what ever other reasoning.
Also to the OP. What do the display firmware in /etc have to do with the audio echo? and i understand you're trying to fix the compass so is that why the sensors lib is in there?

Based on his new ROM being a beta I think TDJ is testing a fix same as Yaldak.
Hopefully they both work.

The approach used in the Darkside ROM is different. I did a library comparison to verify it.
While the approach should work because it appears to reverse the noise redcution switch (hence why the TDJ says to keep it on), this approach fixes the problem at its core--audio library side. Noise reduction will work exactly as it did in Gingerbread. Some people in that thread are still reporting the call echo issue because the audio paramters are off in all of the Skyrocket-based roms.
A LOT of work and experimenting was done to narrow it down to this one stupid file.

There is no display firmware. That's sensor firmware. This is preliminary work toward fixing the compass, as such it is a work in progress. It's not a beautified patch just yet

I had echo before and using NexusMod.
Made calls to a POTS, VOIP, and another cell phone.
These people had complained about the echo before and report these calls sounded fine.
Thanks and great work.

Hey Yaldak,
I'll test this out on RomChicago tonight, which is based on your base.
As far as the compass goes, I didn't even realize there was an issue with it until now. I'll check the parts bin to see what works.
This is why I use your bases, because you da man.

I don't see why not.

test it with the new darkside ics rom before and after and people reported to me the they had an echo..
not only that when im back to gingerbread people says that they dont hear an echo but they hear my voice like im coming from out of space

Darkside's ROM has another approach to this issue....so that is probably why.
It is also likely that--since you had the issue with gingerbread--your phone might be defective. My GB audio was crystal clear.
I'm up to 8 phone calls (2 incoming 6 out) in which the recipients reported no issue.

Is it difficult to apply this? Just asking cuz I never applied a patch. Switching roms, navigating thru root explorer, etc no problem.. but I don't want anyone wasting time explaining it if its something you believe is too complicated to do so. I'd just love to have call echo fixed so people stop telling me about something I already know. Never had call echo on GB. (I have tried the search but with how many posts there are with 'how to' and 'patch' in them its quite difficult and easier to ask)

[App][Alpha][10/01] Flip For Speaker/Silence Call (Inpsired by Sense)

Released to market!
Remember all those nifty little tricks in Sense which you sometimes miss on cm7 and cm9? I thought about getting those features into an app which can be used with all ROMS. The main one I'm thinking of is the flip for speaker but there are also other ones like the loud ring in pocket and so on. It was really something that I wanted in an app. The closest one I found was Sanity which switched on the speaker as soon as the user takes the phone off his ear, which can lead to troubles such as in a classroom/meeting.
So far, I have a working version of the Flip For Speaker with an option to disable it of course. I'll will try to port the other features. I would like to get your opinion of small features that improve the usability like this one and I can try including them as well. They can be from other ROMS of other phones like say something from TouchWiz or MotoBlur. Post them here and I'll see what I can do.
Meanwhile, here is an alpha version of the app if you would like to test it out. If you run into errors, let me know. Try getting a logcat if you can. I'm open to suggestions.
Current Features:
Flip to Silence
Flip for Speaker
Pick up to answer (Meaning hold it up to your ear)
Changelog:
Version 1.0
Initial market release!
Get it from: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ajaykumar.sense

Version 0.4
Pick up to answer
Version 0.3
+Should support other devices (Earlier had some issues with the sensor readings)
^Improved the usage of proximity sensor
Version 0.2
+Added option for flip to silence call
Version 0.1.1a
^Fixed bugs
Version 0.1a
+Flip to silence call
^Improved flip mechanism by including pitch and roll.
Version 0
+Flip for speaker
I would also like a nice name for the app so suggestions are welcome!(Don't want to use the word sense in case of any copyright issues later on when hopefully, I can release the app into the Market).
If anyone is willing to test on other devices, please let me know.
Source code: https://github.com/ajaykumarkannan/Sense-and-Sanity
You can report issues and see the existing issues here: https://github.com/ajaykumarkannan/Sense-and-Sanity/issues?state=open
You can also make feature requests there.

Heres a good app to control flip to speaker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.matthew.rice
Only thing is, its a paid app, but works very well for me.

Nice find!
I think I'll continue developing this app so that it can suit my purposes better and it's fun developing
I'm also thinking of adding flip to silence feature. Anything else you would like to see, let me know.

Can you develop apps like internet pass through of sense ?

Had a bug in the earlier version I posted. I thought that only pitch would be enough so the speaker kept turning on at incorrect moments. I've fixed that I'll post an update tonight.
As for the sense clock, sorry. I'm not that good at theming nor do I have enough patience for something like that! Henry would be a better person to ask. You can also check out UCCW clock widget which has sense clock like themes.
For internet passthrough, you can checkout this thing called "Reverse Tethering". I haven't used it personally but it should work.

Fixed the issue with the roll and also added flip for silence working. Updated apk in the OP. I've tested it very briefly cause I'm about to head off to sleep. Let me know if you find some issues.

Updated with a few bug fixes and hopefully should now support other devices because I've changed the API now. Check the changelog.

Added Pick up to Answer. Updated OP.

'senseable speaker control'
or
'non-sense speaker control'
Just a couple of things that popped in my head

Is this still in development? I really liked this idea and would pay a full app to do the "nifity tricks" (my suggested app name )

Hey AceRoom, great work on the sense app hey. Features I know I definitely miss on CM7 and CM9 roms are the jus the three you mentioned earlier on - quiet ring on pickup - flip for speaker and pocket mode. The rest are not so important but if you could get those working on any cm7 or CM9 rom - that would totally rock!
Looking forward to more of your work
Cheers

thanks a lot, i was searching all over for these features.

since this is an application, why dont you add it to the play store?

Amazing! I think it works better than the actual sense version

Actually, no. It picks up fine but the caller can't hear me. So I've just turned it off till you you fix it.

For some reason, it mutes the phone when it does that. So I tried explicity unmuting the phone and it still doesn't work. You can unmute it manually but it kind of defeats the purpose anyhow!
It's actually a hack I found somewhere since Android stopped supporting the call answer API after 2.3 (But had it in 2.2 and earlier).
The next thing I'm planning on adding is a speaker volume and normal volume (Because I find that I have to increase the volume when I flip for speaker usually).
I've tested it on the WFS only on CM9. What ROMs are the rest of you guys using?

[Q] Does true 2WCR (2-Way Call Recording) work on this phone?

If you came here to troll my question about the legality of call recording feel free to use your back button and leave. Just picked this phone up for a friend and I would like to enable true 2WCR on this phone to use skvalex's callrecorder. Currently works fine for the evo3D but I don't know if this phone is even supported and if it is working or not. Looking for best quality possible would like to use skvalexs program only but if that doesn't work would be open to others. Would like feedback from people that use call recording would also like bluetooth support.

Go to ROMs you can try Blazer or FreeGS3. Call recording is a flashable mod.
I use it when I call any customer support.

Thanks I'll check it out. Do you know if a 3rd party app will work with it? Doing a quick search looks like that mod might be built into the rom with it's own software for recording.

[Q] Manually enabling 2-way call recording

Hello everyone. I have a Galaxy S3 AT&T Jelly bean 4.1.1. on the stock kernel that is rooted. Is there a way to manually enable call recording from a build.prop editor app? If so what do i need to edit? Is there any stock kernels I can use or any kernels at all I can install without having to install a different rom?
I have already created a back up. Thanks in advance

I don't think there is. Call recording is illegal in too many places so I doubt we will see it for a little bit still.
Feel free to prove me wrong though.

1) how are they gonna know you've got 2 way call recording? Unless your dumb enough to tell them 2) there were kernels and roms that were ics that had 2 way call recording enabled. And there are guides around that show how to get that going

You are required to tell them and if you dont and they find out they can have you brought up on charges and arrested. Most of the guides came from the Euro version as it is not as illegal over there like it is in the states where you will never find a stock kernel with it enabled. Even google disables it by default on AOSP source code.
