[Q] [HELP]Can't use 8MP camera (maxed at 3mp)

I am running the CM10-20121018-NIGHTLY. I noticed once I flashed this rom with the newest gapps, now my camera is maxed out at 3mp instead of 8.
I searched around and read through the forum for the CM10 rom on the development forum. I am not allowed to post there yet i guess, but from what I gathered other people are having this issue too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1924561&highlight=3mp+8mp+camera&page=93
Its unclear what they mean by "you can have 8mp camera, or 3mp and picasa sync". I would much rather have the 8mp camera, I don't even use picasa... but I don't know how to go about that. I tried flashing a different version of gapps, but it didn't help. Is there a way to do this and not lose the new gmail app with pinch to zoom? (Or at the very least not have to clear data and reflash the ROM?)
Thanks

flash a different older gapps and then install the latest Gmail Apk I have it

Thanks for the response, I didn't think of going with an older gapps, just tried that, still doesn't let me use 8mp.. :/
It's starting to look like I'm gonna have to clear data and reflash.. Is there a way to uninstall gapps without clearing data?

I have no idea I've never downgraded gapps b7t I'm pretty sure the gapps aren't the problem I think it's the rom that happens sometimes

Oh ok that makes sense. Thanks for the help bud. I'm choked, I was loving this Rom... Maybe I'll try the AOKP jb rom

Problems with camera on CM10

I'm running the current stable version of CM10 and love it except for one problem. The camera sucks now. It will not focus. It seems to be stuck on infinity even though in the settings I've changed it to everything from Auto to macro.
Is it possible to load just the stock camera on top of the CM camera module?

Can't run stock camera on cm due to drivers not playing well together. But U can run the android 4.2 camera. There are flash able zips all over the place for it. Only downside I've seen from it is if flash is on it'll crash gallery but that only happens to some people. Either way its worth a try sense flashing it won't replace the cm camera just runs along side it.

Thank you. THAT was a helpful answer.
Now I just gotta find that zip.

Well, Now it's really broke. I flashed the camera file from your link and when the new camera launches it crashes when I try to take a picture.
So it's gone from bad to worse...
I re-flashed the file 3 times with now the same results. Even the old camera is crashing now.
It's ashamed I can't get this working because I really love CM10 otherwise. Apparently it's just my device though as others seem to not be having this problem.

I feel like a dolt for having to ask this, but where is CM10 for this device? I checked the get cm website, and the development forum here, and couldn't find anything aosp except for miui.
BTW, a broken camera is a hallmark of anything CM.

Here's the link for the Sprint model.

Just browse up a level for different models and "nightlys".
It's great that this forum covers so much but unfortunately it also makes it difficult, even using search, to find anything.

Sounds like something went wrong with the flash. Maybe the lib files were missing.

Could it help to flash one of the recent "Nightlys"?
I've never done that because it's taken me so long to get the layout of all my apps and pages the way I like them. I know there's some way to back that up but that's for another post I guess. Too new to the whole rooting and ROM flashing process...

I don't think I ever had problems with the CM10 default camera, try a clean flash and try again, and yes, the 4.2 camera does fc on the gallery, sadly its the only reason I can't see myself using anything CM based , I love it, but the default camera basically throws the whole ROM off for me

Yeah it only fc if the flash is on but that's a killer for me. Only hope is when cm 10.1 hits SG3.

I had the same problem.. sorta.. after snapping off a photo, the camera would just freeze, then warning / pop up stating 'gallery not responding'.. I ended up dumping and starting over. I'm using the CM10 build date of 11/13 and so far so good, camera and gallery working correctly now.

this was leaked a while ago..it does work 100%, photosphere and everything.. but in order to take a picture without it freezing up during auto-focus, you have to set the scene to "Action".

I have had zero issues with "freezing up" whatsoever. Perhaps that was before we had a proper AOKP build. But now everything works. Though after flashing this, I have 2 camera and 2 gallery apps. lol

Using a file explorer remove gallery2.apk from your system/app folder, reboot good to go!!

This is a noob question, but does this work like the stock Gallery/Camera combo where you can see your Picasa folders? When I was rooted and using a stock Rom I would always upload immediately to Picasa and delete from SD/phone and still be able to see my pics in the folder. Since I switched to JellyBam Rom, I no longer see anything from Picasa, although I can still upload pics to Picasa. I flashed GAPPS 4.1.2, and everything works on the apps, except for the Picasa/Gallery thing. Any help in figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.

This is correct! Thanks for the heads up on the AT&T SGS III. However since "Action" scene is required to be able to use without freezing users should also note that "Action" scene does not have Flash functionality. (No Pictures in the dark). "Auto" mode still freezing up when Auto-Focusing. I'd say if you want the camera to play with Photosphere and never take pictures in the dark then this APK is for you.

That's is working with no problem on JB 4.1 TW base.And the good part : it not replace the TW camera!

I don't know about saving to SD. It doesn't delete your gallery it adds another one beside your original.

About the 2 gallery's/2 cameras: In your app drawer after flashing the first one is stock, second one is photosphere. Just go to the app info and disable the stocks.

I've been running this for about 3 weeks and I have never had to set the scene to anything in order for it to work I just leave it on Auto. It just worked 100% straight outa flashing.
Also, because of this I have working flash as well.

No, it's not unstable. You did something wrong, or your ROM is interfering.

[Q] No photosphere on cm 10.1 and panorama laggy?

I just flashed cm 10.1 rc4 and I'm pretty sure I flashed the right gapps (for 4.2.2). No problems with the play store but the camera app does not have the option of photo sphere and when I select the panorama option it's in a windowed mode and its super laggy. The camera app version is 1.1.40001 and the play store version is 4.1.6. The gapps version is gapps-jb-20130301.
What could be the issue?
Thanks

Couple things.
1) Stop using the 3 month old gapps package. Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857 or the ParanoidAndroid ones. They are kept up to date.
2) We don't have photosphere for our device. Need a mod for that. I know they exist, but I don't know where they are (our Apps section, I presume). One of the others can help you on this point.
3) Camera is not part of gapps (photosphere is). It's part of the ROM.
3) Unsure of lag issue.

Ok thanks I'll download the new gapps off of your link and I'll forget about photosphere but the lag/windowed panorama kinda sucks

A lot of the TouchWiz ROMs have photosphere, but ironically, the AOSP based ROMs do not have it.

Lol Ok this is weird, I flashed the gapps from the link above so now my camera does have the option of photosphere but every time I click it says gallery has stopped working...
Panorama still extremely choppy though

You need to reboot for camera to work again. I've noticed that if I install a photosphere Gallery apk, I have to click the screen to focus before taking a picture, or else the camera will freeze and fail to work until you reboot.

Instagram Issue

Is anyone having issues with trying to load pictures from your gallery onto instagram? Where you try and upload it but the picture comes out black.. When I use the camera on the app itself it seems to work fine, but when I upload from gallery it is black. Seems to be like this on all Roms... So I assuming its the update on instagram? Any insight is appreciated.

I heard over in a development thread they said to use the stock camera instead of the "advanced instagram" camera. But after upgrading to 4.3 it went away completely, but I still use stock camera anyways.

I was having the same problem after upgrading to a ROM with JB 4.3. It went away when I updated to the next most recent nightly. Maybe it's a problem with some of the early 4.3 builds? Try upgrading to the newest nightly or downgrading to the most stable 4.2

Its not they all break for some reason. I'm sure its because of the 3.4 kernel. 3rd party camera apps seem to break. Don't know why or how. That's why use the stock camera.

hey guys, i just found an easy work around.
all you got to do is choose your image from the gallery, apply one of the instagram filters, hit next, then go back and choose the normal filter. it should work out well

Here's what fixed it for me:
1) Open Instagram
2) Go to Options
3) Go to Advanced Features
4) Uncheck "Use High-Quality Photo Processing"

Had the same problem with AOKP on Xperia V - changing that setting fixed it
