[Q] Just to Clear up about the whole Green Lens Whackadoo...

My sister (might) wanna install MIUI on her Motorola Defy. But if the camera doesn't work, it's a no-go. When we rooted her phone, suddenly the camera started acting weird, like it wouldn't show what the camera was pointed at (completely black screen, but it was capable of capturing the pictures anyway ) . And the video recording didn't work either. It didn't actually record video, but the audio was there. This was on the shipped, stock froyo rom.
If she installed MIUI on her phone, would the before-mentioned problems still be present? She doesn't care about not being able to capture 720p video,the only thing that matters to her is that it works.
A reply would be greatly appreciated.

Hiya christian iv got the green lens on standard froyo rom and my camera and video works great, have u tried wiping data and cache? Iv not tried miui rom but id like to no if people are having problems with camera or video on custom roms??

Miui based ROM wajkiui has great camera. Video recording also works perfectly, at 848*480 CM7 recently has been giving me problems with video recording, so I've switched to wajkiui.
Last time I saw miui official thread, there seemed to be a few bugs in it. Read the thread if you want miui only and not wajkiui...

Just goto stock recovery n clear the cache...
Or use cust recovery to clear it...
Clearing the cache should fix it...

MIUI and other AOSP roms work on both lenses without a problem.

[Q] Camera FC's when attempting to recprd video

I am running Lupus v8 on a unlocked R80at. Was pretty happy with this kernel until I went to take some photos/videos for my 4 year old duaghters birthday. Taking photos was fine however soon as I attempted to record video it locked up and then force closed. If I recall ages ago I thought this was a common issue with this kernel, however I also was under the impression that this eas resolved. I am not using the stock camera app. I am running ICS+ camera app. I know camera related issues are or can be kernel related. I asked this question on the Lupus v8 thread but no reply and its been a couple days so I thought i would simply make a thread to keep the Lupus thread free of questions.
Any ideas? I have wiped the data on the camera+ app and again same results.
Edit - Noticed after wiping the data on the camera app and retesting it repeats itself however this time the phone locks up and I had to pull the battery.

Are you using 480p version of that kernel? If yes, problem is solved. You must just install 720p version. I had this problem too but after install 720p version everything was fine.
Sorry for my bad english

Yes I am running the 480p version as I wanted to keep as much ram as possible, but if you say the 720p doesnt have this issue then I guess I will flash the 720p and report back.
Just a side note, anyone have any idea why the 480p version would have this issue while 720p does not, and I am sure its been asked but why the dev has not resolved the issue in 480p....?

720p fixed the issue but it looks like it eats up a lot of ram, does anyone know how much ram difference there is between the 480p and 720p versions? It looks to me like 30mb.....

On 480 hd recording not working. You need to change to SD and should work fine.
Had similar problem. Forget obout it and tried to record my daughter school show. Got camera recording settings as hd. Phone freeze but quickly removed battery, turned on and changed to sd and manage to record few last seconds of her show

Just so I understand, you used the 480 kernel but set the video to standard video recording and it worked? If thats the case I will go back to 480p Lupus and see if it works as I prefer to have extra ram.
Also where did you go to change the HD settings I dont recall seeing it in the settings, of course I am on camera+ ics

Yes I'm using Lupus GB 480p. And camera recording working fine on low quality.
But unfortunate low quality is rubbish but I don't use recording very often so that's ok with me.

I dont do a lot of video recording myself, noticed that on Camera ICS+ there is no options to adjust recording video quality, perrhaps I will have to decide between using 720p kernel and Camera ICS+ or stock camera app with 420p...... hmmm....I know I already asked this but does anyone know what the ram difference is between 420p and 720p kernels of Lupus? Or if not is there a way I can look for myself? Thanks in advance.

[MOD][JB] .96 FW>Camera Mod Cyber-shot™ For Xperia S [Multi res, SuperiorAuto]

Ok so since the the .197 leak, and the new .200 leak JB firmwares for Xperia S i kinda whant the Superior Auto the .68 JB leak had and the JB from Xperia T,V,TX and Xperia Z and ZL, but sadly waiting for an official release of our beloved JB for Xperia S developers leave Xperia S aside till then. So i tested the "[MOD][JB] Camera Mod Cyber-shot™ For Xperia T / TX / V "Updated 13-04-2013" " by Rizal Lovins and found out that the Cyber-Shot mods for Xperia T,V,TX and Z,ZL work just fine. And actualy the Z,ZL mod is better. So without further adoo i invite you to flash over the Z,ZL Cyber-Shot mod.
I tested the Z and ZL mod on the Xperia S with the .197 and i can confirm it works fine.
Do it at your own risk!
Improvements besides the best mod given by Rizal
1. It kinda fixes the purple tint (i see the difference, i dont know if you will)
2. Multiresolution 12MP , 9MP, 8MP, 5MP, 2MP(4:3), 2MP(16:9)
3. SuperiorAuto+ witch works superbly (to my surprise)
4. It fixes the Ratio in the frontfaceing camera (now the 16:9 is switched to its real possition)
5. Multiresoluton on the frontfaceing camera 1MP(4:3), 1MP(16:9), VGA(4:3)
6. It fixes the 1080P recording lag (i see the difference, i dont know if you will)
7. Multiresolution video FullHD(16:9), HD(16:9), VGA(4:3), MMS(4:3)
8. Multiresolution video frontfaceing camera HD(16:9), VGA(4:3), MMS(4:3)
9. Its fast and crisp
10. All the mods made by Rizal.
UPDATE: SCRATCH THAT BLA BLA BLA I TESTED IT ON .96 FW AND WORKS LIKE A CHARM ONLY BUG I CAME ACROSS WAS A BIT OF LAYOUT CHANGE AND THE BLACK SCREEN WHEN COMMING BACK FROM ALBUM WITCH BY THE WAY HAS A WORKARROUND JUST SWITCH TO FRONT FACEING CAMERA AND BACK.
Dont forget its a Share.

Already flashed the xperia z mod but havent tested yet to see whats change.
Ill try to test it later and compre to previous stock app from leaked jb

Thank you. Flashed it but I don't think there is any improvement with this mod. Auto Scene still captures pictures with purple tint when flash is on. Quality is stille the same and video recording still lags.

I think theres a bug on xperia z mod, after taking pictures and you look at the picture you took. When you press back button to camera, the screen of the camera is only black. I need to close the camera to recent apps for it to work again.

I'am also experience this sadly though the quality is greatly improved
EDIT: Found a workaround. In Superior auto mode, the bug triggers however if the picture was accessed during normal mode, the bug was not triggered. hope it helps

I just tried a version made specially for 2012 devices. It worked, kinda.
Check this link for my full feedback. I will see what this Z version has of different.

Cybershot force closes after u exit it. thats the funny thing.. i am on existenz rom.. superior auto works fine, but video recorder lags.. everythin looks the same to me, even the camera clarity.. thx anyway to the op for sharing this...

Query regarding Camera

Hi all..., i want to ask a quick question.. can i install camera. apk and other camera extention files From xperia arc s ICS 4.0.4 firmware to my Sony xperia s.??.. because i m rooted and have ICS 4.0.4 installed........ reason to install that camera app is because i previously had sony xperia arc s on which i installed the latest version ics 4.1.B.587 World and trust me the pictures it took were great and a point to be noted that it did very low compression to photos. My generally taken photos size were +2 mb normally 2.5mb and here on my xperia S if i take photos in 12 MP camera mode , the file size is hardly 2 mb while Arc s was 8mp only.......
So i think sony software has high compression for photos which may lead to loss of details when zoomed ..............so what you guys say should we try to install Arc s ics .587 camera apk to our xperia s??
Note: the information above given is true and best to my xperience .... i m not drunk and in my senses so kindly give Appropriate Suggestions

You are right. stock rom with cybershot mod is the best i've ever seen on my acro s. compression under stock without mod is much to high.

If your camera lens is not clean then try cleaning.
Otherwise video recording bug is the hot issue in JB update.

ok my lens is clean and i noticed one thing more if i disable image stabilizer there is a minor improvement and it is focusing a bit quick........
but i would say that focus issue is also present in xperia t and sp as well....i have watched videos on u tube..........

Yes, it is annoying

Has Sony release some information about the bugs in the .200 and .211 JB updates? It's annoying as hell being unable to use the full capabilities of my phone.

i really feel strange that why sony dont give attention to these problems...... Sony is a big name in Imaging World but sadly their devices are not upto the mark.... .Look at nokia ....Wow .! How best hardware they Made ...specially Camera...:good: i hope they will use android in upcoming years...:fingers-crossed:
