For years I have enjoyed Gameboid and GBCoid on various android phones running various stock and custom softwares. I recently upgraded to the Galaxy Nexus and to my surprise, these applications had a blurry effect in portrait mode. When switching over to landscape mode they look fine and for a split second before the screen transition they also look fine, but put them upright again and they quickly blur back over. I tried adjusting the scaling/stretching option in the video settings of the applications to no avail. I uninstalled and reinstalled both the same files and different versions of the apps also not fixing the problem. I checked and unchecked the Force GPU Rendering option which had no effect. I am at a loss and would appreciate any help
GBCoid probably just needs updating, the last time it was updated was over a year ago. If you play in landscape it's not blurry.
i can confirm i use myboy and in landscape runs perfect but portrait is blurry just turn it sideways and u shouldnt have a problem
If anyone is curious, I loaded GBCoid on my Nexus 7 and portrait mode works fine and isn't blurry. So I have no idea what could be going on. Anybody have any ideas?

Posted here because I dont have enough posts to post in the Cyanogenmod thread.
I recently updated to the latest nightly (10212011). I did this after seeing that 10202011 had some issues when using the video camera.
So this weekend I made a short video thinking all would be good but when I played it back via 'Gallery' the portrait video footage played sideways in landscape mode. Turning the phone to landscape gave me a stretched portrait video, which isnt really ideal in a perfect world. I can play the video in QQPlayer in its correct orientation but the video seems to jump, repeat parts and also goes out of sync.
I have searched to see if this has occured but I have not seen this issue before, so I wanted to flag it up to the devs.
Additionally I have another problem which again after searching I have not found a solution to.
I have the Kindle app installed and it all works great, I can read my book etc but after leaving the app the phone freezes and my only way out is to remove the battery. Has anyone else come across this? is there a solution?
Thanks for any help

Mine does that too, unless I hold the phone sideways when recording. Lately getting it to record at all is my issue, but have posted that elsewhere

Has anyone noticed that the phone runs slower in landscape mode. I'm not taking about rotation which works fine with a custom ROM, but it seems like the phone is twice as slow when rendering and input lag.
Open WhatsApp or maps(really any app) and look at the frame rate and how laggy the input is when scrolling. Then go to landscape mode and and do the same thing; it's way slower. I've noticed with every version and ROM that I've installed. I've searched around and found nothing about this so I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. It seems like an ICS issue that google will need to fix because there should be no different between the two modes.
I think this is the same problem with the keyboard being a little slower in landscape.
I have noticed a small hinderance of performance in landscape mode, but not across the board nor in every app. Google Music works perfectly for me in landscape mode. I am running GummyNex with Imo's kernel so maybe it got tuned differently.
I have noticed this in the Nova launcher too. Really annoying.
Has there been any progress on it?
Hi,
It's a bit old,but maybe an advice...:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546552
There are also other threads about that.
Kernel and other factors can help...
Ive been trying to find a "perfect" camera app for my DInc2 with a few key features.
*hardware volume button shutter option
*touch screen focus
*adjustable ISO
*clicking thumbnail goes to HTC Gallery app
Didn't think that would be so hard, right? But it always seemed that they came close, but were always missing one feature or another.
So, after many rounds of both paid and free apps I finally found Ucam
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ucamera.ucam&hl=en
Has all the above features, plus more. It also has a stunner of a built in editing package, with tons of presets and discrete controls for brightness, saturation, contrast,etc., *BUT* it downsamples the image to like 1280x800 or something and I can't figure out how to make not do that.
But that's just gravy, considering it already fulfilled my wish list, so hopefully they will fix the resolution problem with the editor. Nice GUI too. And it makes animated GIFs, amongst other oddities. Did I mention the incredible sharing setup?
Plus, its FREE.
They also just came out with a tablet version.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ucamera.ucamtablet
Forums are here but a lot is in Chinese

I may be late to the party and everyone is already using this, but I think it's worth sharing
I'm using nitsuj's TSMBullet and it has a great camera! The touch to focus, thumbnail brings to gallery, and it has manual, panorama, hdr, and burst mode. There isn't a volume shutter however. One of the best camera's i've used

I have to agree. The bullet camera is very sharp.

This app is awesome! Thanks for the tip.
Btw, to change the image size. Be in camera mode and scroll through the menu at the top of the screen, you should see a square with some sizes in it, press it and select the size you want

What ROM?
Anyone know if this works with the CM9 Kang ROM by areovan? This CM9 ROM is almost perfect. Only 2 issues that I'm running into:
1. Must run "su; killall drmserver" in the terminal after reboot in order to get Google Play to download/update apps
2. Flash on any camera app that I've tried (stock, angel, zoom FX) doesn't work.
I don't really care if the FFC or camcorder works, mainly need a camera app with flash as I travel a lot (business) and love to take pics at a moments notice with my phone.
Any ideas?
I've tried a ton of camera apps and this is by far my favorite after just a few hours of use. Thanks for the tip!

You can turn on the torch before taking the picture and that should help.

they just updated the app to 1.1.7 today, and it fixed a couple of repeatable crashes I was having and had reported...these guys are super responsive! They also said they would consider an option to not downrez the image in editing mode since many smartphones are powerful enough to edit a 8mp image (slowly) these days
This is a great camera app. Thanks for the heads up. Does it take the full 8mp wide pics like sense roms do? It looks like the pic fills the entire screen.

Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys are having this issue as well? I tested 2x Note 2's and they both do this. The problem i'm having is whenever I rotate the device while viewing a video, screen brightness/contrast/gamma (i really don't know which?) goes up momentarily and goes back to normal again. It doesn't do this on stock video player but for example YouTube or MX Player does this. As for YouTube, go to play store and play any app demo videos because if you actually go to YouTube app when you rotate the device video will rotate as well and it's hard to see this problem.
Update: as for MX Player, this problem stopped when I put screen orientation to "landscape", by default it was on auto rotation (landscape). I think Note 2's system auto-rotation is conflicting with app's rotation?? Not a huge issue but gets really annoying I hope I didn't get 2x defective note2s....
Do you have smart rotation enabled?

Oh man... Thanks man, Yep that was the cause of this issue.... I turned off auto-rotation, I didn't think smart rotation would be still active.
All these good features causes at least one issues, what the heck... Smart rotation off, ripple effect off... I wonder what's next, hopefully nothing too major! :/

Thank you too!
I didn't even notice the issue with the ripple effect until you mentioned it, hehe.
Has anyone noticed an accuracy problem for the S-Pen in Google Chrome? In portrait mode, it is off by quite a bit while in landscape mode it is perfect.
At first, I thought it was my device, but the standard android browser is fine. Here is a video demonstrating the issue
sometimes it's Ok. I'm using the pen now & 80% of the time it's fine.
I definately noticed an issue after the last update. It is off for s-pen as well as normal touch inputs. I stopped using Chrome because of it.

It's a known issue with Chrome.

Goof that you discribed the problem with Chrome.
I thought I was crazy.

Notice the white bar at the bottom... Its height equals the vertical offset we're seeing.
If you rotate the screen to landscape and back to portrait it works fine (for a while).
Definitely a Chrome bug, I think it happens on my S3 as well.
There's a solution for this, which I posted in another thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43569866&postcount=17
Fix is coming to Chrome beta and Chrome 29.

I had the same problem but I believe the latest update of Chrome has fixed it, at least it works fine with me now

It's quite odd that google developed google chrome for iOS first and after that chrome to android. I guess they had to test it with not as good operating system platform
