I honestly hate the ICS camera, and it looks like JB is going to have the same stuff with some tweaks to organization of all your photos.
My top two gripes, in this order, are:
* Where did tap-to-focus go? Taking a decent photo is a nightmare now! Is this just something that I'm missing?
* Where did 8MP widescreen photos go? Square photos suck, but so do lower resolution photos.
If you don't like it, don't flash ICS. No need to start a thread of "I hate this and I hate that".. Who knows. maybe you'll be the guy to add that stuff to the camera because you don't like it.

Perhaps my tone wasn't well received. I'm not creating this thread so that I can complain - I love ICS. I just don't understand why those two features are missing now, and I'm hoping somebody here can tell me I'm being an idiot because the option is "right there in the menu" or something. Or maybe recommend an app that gives me this stuff back... I can't find any posts recently related to this topic, and everywhere I look for other devices people keep saying "CM9 has it" and stuff. Well, my CM9 doesn't have it... I think...

Keep in mind ICS is a port. Its not made by manufacturers for the evo so it will be missing things.
Might as well look for a new camera app if you're that desperate. I don't have a problem with the camera.

Oh yeah huh? That's a good idea =) unfortunitely my stinkin computer won't let me do screenshots from a DVD no matter what program I'm running it with =( which limits me to whatever I can find running image searches. I also wanted to incorporate as many characters/ships as I could into the clock, it being a centerpiece of sorts. Tried a few dif ideas and ended up liking that one the best. Kept it simple and clean. Everything else I tried got too muddy and didn't look sharp enough.
It requires you to redraw the image, but here it is.

If you need more scans of it, let me know. Was going to use it in a winmo theme I was skinning =p
Actually, if you need any scans at all, let me know as I rip/convert all my dvds to AVI for easier storage (plus I use my xbox as a media center so that I can grab an episode/movie whenever from my home server)

Yeah. Id definitely take pleasure in doing so if making it happen properly was within my means. My graphic art skills are intermediate at best. I definitely know my way around Gimp pretty well, but still lack some of the skills that others commonly put to good use when it comes to such matters

Not the US one (works fine w/ UK and ADP, I'm running ADP 1.51 myself)). Haven't tried it myself (so feel free to give it a shot and let me know) but from what I understand, if flashed w/ the US build of 1.51 you won't have the modified launcher (app drawer) elements of the theme due to an extra measure that JF took to compress the files within the Launcher archive... (that seems to be a headache to edit so I haven't bothered messin w/ the US build at all).

It's because of those cram things that you have to go around and stuff, but it does work on ADP 1.51.
Hey was going to tell you something, or a little suggestion, but after seeing some other themes, I was wondering that instead of posting full pictures for icons, is there anyway that you can post figures. If you look at Nightmare before Christmas one I'm sure you would understand what i mean. That's an idea of course, still like your work so don't get me wrong *shakes fist incase*

Yeah it's possible. It's all variable on the source that i get my hands on. I'm not sure if KilaTattz actually created those icons (drawing them from scratch) or if he found them somewhere/created them by editing a source... but I imagine a lot of times you see icons like that, they're even drawn from scratch or taken from a windows desktop theme of somekind.
I usually create my icons from pictures cuz there's a lot more to work with. In some cases they're almost figurine-like (see the swordfish Browser icon, Dialer icon, Calculator icon, and youtube icon from the bebop them if youre running it, or even better, most of the icons i did in my megaman theme - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515742 ).
But I'm guessing he's got legit enough graphic design skills that he drew them himself or he found a killer desktop theme that he pulled the icons from.
when working w/ Bebop and Champloo, Robotech and Spider-man... desktop themes are/were either non existant or completely outdated. There are some icons I used from a windows desktop theme that looks straight outta the 90s on my spider-man theme lol. They looked aight though. If you have Openhome you should scope it out. They jus threw it up on the Market via an Openhome skin the other day.
Hi everyone! This is my first post here so I hope I'm doing this right. I'm not sure if this should be here in Q&A or in the App section but here goes.
I really love my Epic 4G. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I was still running Dk28 with midNIGHT rom 3.1. Then I finally switched over to the wonderful CM9 Beta1. I am loving it so far, but there's one thing that bothers me. The camera.
One of the things I used to use on the camera very frequently was the panorama/wide shot function. I really hate the sweep panorama of the ICS camera because with the crafts I make, it's just horrible and it's always distorted because sweeping and me don't get along. The camera that was on my leaked Froyo had the feature where I would click the first picture, and while moving to the side a green box would guide me and then automatically take the next shot when it lined up, then I'd move again and it would take the next shot. It would then put the images together for me.
I really need that feature back. Is there a way that I can install that camera app back onto my phone in addition to the updated ICS camera? I really like the smoothness and speed of the ICS camera for normal picture taking.
I can pull the camera.apk from my original install, but as I said, I don't want to overwrite the ICS one, which I fear because they have the same name and I don't know if renaming it will make the difference. I want both. If someone could guide me in getting both on my phone, that would be great. I'm sure there must be a way, but I don't know how to do it. I've read a lot on these boards so I figure if anyone knows how to help, the great minds here do!
I hope I've explained this ok. If I'm not clear, please let me know. Thanks much!
p.s. I've tried a number of camera apps from Play. I don't like the wide shot ones where it has a ghost image for you to line it up manually either, so please don't suggest that.
Hi guys
I originally asked this in the Q&A section a week ago, but I wasn't sure if it belong here in the apps section instead. Since I didn't get any replies, I'm thinking maybe I should have posted it here to begin with. I hope someone in this section might be able to help.
If I'm not supposed to put this in two areas, I apologize. I'm not too forum saavy; just looking for help for my issue.
Thanks a lot guys

I'd love to see the old TW camera on CM9. The ported TW apps thread a couple posts down mentions this, but i haven't seen anyone post a successfully working version yet.
Hopefully someone who knows what they're doing can figure it out for us. *crosses fingers*
Wishlist? Anyone?
Lol....I was running the peoples rom last week and was wondering the opposite. If there was a way to put the ics camera on that tw rom. That's an awesome rom and has the tw camera (obviously), but maybe just flash that and try it for a while?
On a side note.....Not sure if its just me, or does does the ics camera take much better (normal) pictures, even when zooming in quite a bit? I've been wondering if something was done in ics to better utilize the camera hardware.

I find the ICS camera to be really nice for just normal pics. Definitely faster and does seem to be on the clearer side. But I'm really needing that old auto panorama/wide shot feature. (non sweeping motion or ghost line up).
Ok so Ive flashed a few roms here and there. Including some of the Cm9 and aokp roms and also some darkside. I found a issue that kept reappearing in every flash, the LED lights at the bottom would not always work properly. They do not light up when you turn the phone on and only light up once unlocked or after 5-6 seconds.. are there any fixes? Ive trying wiping several ways and i always flash according to the OP.
Im now on xtremeperia and I gotta say its the most gorgeous ROM ever. But it still has that problem that will not go away! Ive Pm'd the Dev but they dont have a fix, wondering if anyone else does..
Also heres a question to the Developers. First and foremost I am amazed by the work you guys do! Its great!! Im wondering if one of you guys can design a new camera App, something with a sexier layout! The one found in AOkp and CM9 are just way too boring and makes the phone look cheap as well as the rest of the rom! The stock ones in GB are also a bit boring, wondering if someone can design one that looks like that of what we see on other phones/ as in a better layout. Also a shutter sound that sounds like a real shutter! not the silly nexus ones! lol Not trying to say or offend anyone but im sure lots of folks agree with me on this...
please dont tell me to download a camera app, it feels nice to have a awesome built in camera that is fully functional.
thanks!
First part - AOKP's LED's work perfect for me. Not sure why they at the very least, dont work with CM9.
Second part - Honestly, I doubt any redesigning will take place any time soon... However, you can download other stock apps? Try MIUI's it's nice, and has lots of features. However, it doesn't do video... Stock app for that? - Click here for the camera.

umm.. Isn't a built in camera app an app? Simply put you have to actually install one you download, which takes how long? If you are looking for one that installs with a rom, you could always bake up a rom in the kitchen that installs your 3rd party one of your choice..

Thanks so much for your help. I agree the AOKP july 15 self kang was successful in LED fix.
That miui camera really is nice thanks for the link you are the bomb!
i still cant figure out cm9 but oh well ima just use darkside for now
thanks
Is anybody else excited for this feature? I'm sure we'll get the 4.2 update within the next few months.
I know it's more of a novelty feature, just like panorama mode, but it would be fun to use imo.
Once this feature is widely available, I think Google should allow people to add their Photoshere photos to google maps.
you can add them to google maps. which is close enough or exactly what you meant.

Flash in zip, this is a working file it installs og android camera and gallery to give you photosphere, your old cam and gallery will still be there but will not do photosphere to find the feature open your new cam app change the type by tapping cam icon and picking photosphere ONLY the gallery installed can view the pics properly enjoy
we will never get 4.2 ...
Very cool, thank you. Once we get a factory Odin image, I'll take the plunge and root and flash.
Anyone else getting crappy spheres generated? They just don't look as good as the one on the demo video.
Edit: I guess it's hit or miss; I just did another one and it looks awesome. Some of the edges are still a bit bad but overall it was very nice, considering it mashed up like 12 pics
