Hello Guys!
I've testing about one week some ROMs and kernels combinations, and many things has worked on many of them, like the camera, panorama, wifi, etc... But I see the ICS Camera Video effects working only on the AokPlay V3.1 + DoomKernel, and also, I really liked this ROM. Unfortunately, I can't get WiFi and Video playback working on this combination . I even tried a fix that xRegrets had posted, but I think it's for a old build...
Now I'm using DooMKernel + Hybrid evolution V 5.3.1, and almost everything that I tested is working, as it's Sony ICS Beta based, but the video effects I can't get to work... I look for some fix to it, but I didn't found nothing..
So, the question is, there's some way to get the camera video effects working on the Sony ICS Beta or some Sony ICS Beta based ROM?
About the AokPlay, I didn't found a new WiFi fix for DooMLord's kernel and even installing the wifi modules I can't get it to work, and I read on DooMKernel thread that's the video playback doesn't work for the differents video drivers, so... It's too bad .
And I tried the Keiran's kernel too on the AokPlay, but with the new release the Wifi is not working

Hopefully , this can be a marker for anyone looking to get Skype Video Working.
So far i have managed to get Skype video working on all Sense 2.1 and 3.0 ROMS
i have run into issues with AOSP ROMS. I believe the issue is with the front camera being read at an inadequate pixel rate. try switching the resolution when in the camera app.
ALSo, for those that are running AOSP, SAVAGED,CM7 nightlys etc.. will you please post your ROM+KERNEL COMBINATION.
linked are the two Skype.apks that i have used

You'll find lots of comments in the CM9 thread for arc/arc s about this build. From the top of my head, everything works quite well with the exception of:
-video playback
-video recorder
-automatic brightness
As well, there is some bug with in-call volume which I'm not too familiar with. It's arguably the fastest ICS rom you can get right now, if you're not too bothered with the issues above.
The FXP115 build that you can get from the CM9 thread fixes the video playback issues. Though it does feel slightly slower than the Nightly build.

Hi guys,
This is a post for everyone of us who are enjoin ICS and did not find a fully working camera replacement app for ICS.
What i am looking for in a replacement camera is:
-Video recording (preferably HD recording)
-Picture taking (optional special frames and effects but that is not necessary, i'm not really looking for a toy camera)
-Panoramic pictures (I currently use Photaf, but i would really even pay for an all in 1 camera app)
Now LG Camera can record video supposedly, but when i try to record, i get "Record video failed".
Can anyone help me with settings for LG Camera or a better camera app with video recording that i can use on ICS?
Try Zoom FX or Camera 360, but keep in mind that I don't know which ROM you are using and that means I don't know if the apps I'm proposing will work.
As for panoramic photos I'm using Pano and I'm full happy with it.
videocam illusion works fine
Camera 360 - Does not have video
Camera ZOOM FX does not provide video support but just a simple link to the video camera on the phone
Video is what ICS camera lacks so that is what i am searching for
Videocam illusion just freezes when i try to record.
i am using:
IceColdSandwich - 7.4 - AOKP | STRIPPER EDITION You last visited: Today at 09:51 PM
If you tested a camera with video recording on any ICS Roms please tell me about it!
Thank you

Until we get the kernel source code from HTC video camera will always be a problem. This is a well known fact. For the most part Illusion works and is included in most ICS roms, but until we get an update from HTC this is as good as its gonna get.
Huh, Videocam Illusion works for me too on IceColdSandwich 7.4 AOKP STRIPPER EDITION.

Hello!
I'd like to know if it works on Blackout ICS XL v2.0 SUPER SMOOTH [4.0.3][Sense 3.6] too (picture taking at least)

Maybe you can try beta version lgCamera?
Hi, I use UCam ver 1.1.6. Pretty good camera app. It supports Point to Shoot/Video/Panorma and is pretty straight forward.
Now as your on LC's ICS (IceColdSandwich) rom, video recording wont work (Video doesnt really work on any ICS rom for DHD, because of the lack native hardware encoding/decoding libs, which btw shall be available once HTC releases kernel 3.0 sourcecode).
Also UCam ver 1.1.6 is latest UCam that would work flawlessly on LC's ICS (barring the video of course). VideoCam Illusion does work for a lot of people but video quality isnt that great and the resolution is no where near the native ones supported.
Hope this helps. BTW I am also on LC's ICS rom, they are butter smooth
Videorecording works in LC's ICS rom but you can't film in HD or high quality generally because then the video will lag. Application I use is Videocam Illusion.
On a sidenote though the stock photocamera works ok if you just want to shoot a fast picture.
Picture I shot today with the stock camera
Thank you for the UCAM idea, it really is a great camera app it has panoramic cam, spy can (you can make sexy videos of girls kidding ).
Do you know what the paid has that the free version does not?

Us DHD users will most likely be waiting till end of July/early August before we start to see ICS's official source come out. In the new 8.0 SOB version of the rom you are using the camera works great, 3rd party camera apps on ICS is still rather touch and go your best option for picture taking would be the stock.
Hi all,
I have purchased an xperia s and intend to install custom ROM tomorrow. I have done a good bit of reading but theres alot of info.
I believe roms based on lastest JB eg cm10? dont have a functioning camera
I believe 1 or more roms based on cm9? does not have a functioning hdmi?
The camera (and hdmi) is important to me. I would prefer to have a modded "hardware" rather than an app such as the cybershot one (I assume an app means the improvements are only seen when in that app).
The only camera hardware mod i can find is "[MOD][CAM]GBXperia S|Video 1080p >20mb Bitrate|720p >15mb Bitrate|>100% Image quality".
This requires 2.3.7.
I would be grateful if someone could point out (via link or name) a 2.3.7 based rom, and kernel, as simple and clean as possible (no bloatware) that has a better performance than stock and would allow me to use this mod. Of course, if i have missed a later/better ROM with optimised camera let me know
Thanks for reading and hope someone can advise, I realise im more of a lurker
CM10 has a functioning camera, however I prefer the stock camera (SONY).
About HDMI, i'm not sure about it, I have no HDMI TV for me to play on, however user reported that it worked (in CM10 thread)
About the camera hardware mod you mentioned, it already included (implemented) in the ICS update if I'm not mistaken, therefore if using stock ICS ROM, the MOD is included.
I do not try other MOD ROM, I just tried AOKP JB and FXP CM10, for me, I like CM10, has the latest function on Jelly Bean.
Wish SONY can release the update asap. haha
If you want CM10 based ROM, install Nova Xperia RC1 and update its kernel to 007. That ROM is great, I didn't find any bugs, except that the camera doesn't record in 1080p.
If you want a stock based ROM install XTXperience v7 and Advanced Stock Kernel... It's based in the latest official Sony firmware and it has the look of Xperia T or GX, all depends of your taste
I'd recommend you try PAC ROM.
HDMI isn't as well supported in AOSP than the Stock ROM. In CM9 and CM10, it works and puts out a 1080p 30 Hz signal, but is noticeably laggy. Watching movies works ok-ish, Vsync problems are noticeable though and some frames are dropped because of this - way more fluid on a stock ROM, which lets you select different output modes as well via the service menu (I choose 720p60). AOSP also only has the option of sending out the video layer of Hardware-decoded video directly, meaning true 1080p, but no overlays including soft subtitles. Stock offers both, 1080p output or mirroring of the 720p screen, which makes soft-subs on HW-decoded video possible.
As for the camera, Panorama is broken in CM10, and video recording is 720p max, otherwise it works fine.
If these are no issues for you, go for a CM10 based ROM - more customizable. Otherwise pick a stock-based ROM.
I have the Acro S by the way, but that phone has the same camera. The HDMI issues are universal in AOSP ROMs and almost all Stock ROMs for most phones - Sony are as far as I have seen the only ones to bother optimizing the HDMI output and offering some options for it on their phones.
Thread closed. Unfortunately "what ROM", "best ROM" type threads aren't encouraged on the forums as everyone's opinion differs and what one person may tell you another will disagree with so the only way to find out what's best and meets your requirements is to try some for yourself. Most, if not all ROM threads should have a changelog with what's working/not working so you'll be able to rule out any that don't have what you need and those that don't state issues may just not have had anyone report them.
Thanks

There has been a snapchat issue for a long time.
The rear camera gives the toast "Video Reording Failed" whenever I attempt to take a video.
The front camera records video perfectly fine though...
I tested this on Gingerbread and ICS, it works on both.
I tested on jellybean (AOSP and TW) and it doesn't work
So I thought this may be an issue for just my device.
When I got my replacement phone, I immediately installed snapchat and saw that video recording failed on my new device as well (it was running stock TW JB)
But when I downgrade to ICS and GB, it works perfectly fine....
Does anyone have a clue about wtheck is going on? Does jellybean not have a certain patch for our device?
I'm not the only one experiencing this. There's many other reviews on Google Play for this device that say the same thing.
Thanks :laugh:

Not sure if you guys have figured out the problem yet but I have. I have found an older version of snap chat that works perfectly for our t989 phones, video recording works like a charm. Download the older version of the app here http://www.mediafire.com/?7py7jfbf809avey

I read somewhere that was a JB problem and the only way to solve this was to get back on ICS or put a older version of Snapchat! Your best bet is probably @iTz KeeFy link

Yea I'm currently running Kit Kat and the video recording still doesn't work for me, having to use the older version.

Ever since one of the Snapchat updates I have been unable to use the rear camera for video as well, since flashing CM 11 the front camera will record but only after a 10 second pause!
Thanks!
Downloading the older version of snapchat worked flawlessly. I can finally record videos!
Can someone on ICS or gingerbread give me a logcat of them recording rear camera video on Snapchat?
i found a fix and it works for me with liquid smooth rom. u just have to change the video camera quality from 720p to 480p by going to camera, video , video settings...
