The secure camera widget on the lockscreen for SlimBean doesn't work correctly.
It loads up the GUI elements, but then hangs without loading the camera feed (black screen).
It is then unresponsive, however I can exit with the back key.
My second problem is that when you use the default camera app to take a picture in a separate app, after you take a picture and are asked to confirm the picture, it doesn't pause on the picture you take, rather just becomes a live feed.
Thanks.

Flash the Camera Fix located in the thread.
What about the fact that after you take a picture within a separate app (using camera), that it doesn't pause on the picture you're taking?

Hi all:
By fluke of chance, there was only once that managed to somehow get my photos in gallery to arrange itself in a horizontal straight line, like a filmstrip. (I enter the photo gallery by going into camera, and then tapping on the photos to view my past taken photos.)
Does anyone know what I am talking about, and what is the finger gesture or method to get the app to display my camera photos in a filmstrip mode? thanks!!
When you're in the gallery and have the picture in landscape, swipe left or right several times quickly to scroll the pictures along like a "film strip". The picture that it stops on will automatically fill the screen. Oh, and you do not need to access the gallery via the camera, this will also work by entering the gallery directly.
ah, it works! thanks so much! I found that quickly swiping about 3 times will do the trick. and it also works in portrait mode too!
Hi all,
I've noticed in a few photography apps which have a choice of either taking a picture or opening the gallery, that when you press the "Camera" option, it usually takes you to the stock camera but with the difference that there is no Record button, only a big capture button right in the middle.
Is there any chance of seing this as a seperate app or any way of creating a shortcut for it? I usually only use the camera and having to avoid the record button can become tiresome at times, even with the new 4.5 version.
All the best
I am probably overlooking this but how do you take a picture and annotate the FRONT of a photo. Same with a screenshot. I think I saw someone did that on a screen shot but not sure if he used another app to do that. The built in draw on image automatically flip the image to allowing drawing on the back of the image.
Nevermind, download photoeditor from Samsung App and then click advance editor when viewing photo in gallery.
This makes zero sense. All drawing happens on the image itself. Nothing gets "flipped".

He's talking about the feature that flips the image and let's you write notes behind it, he doesn't want that (gallery default), he wanted to write on the front of the picture (already solved, he downloaded an image editor).
Alternative method
Alternatively, you can pull out your s-pen, hold the button of the s-pen and press and hold on the screen to take a screenshot of the picture. From there you can crop, write, and basically edit it however you please.
Beauty of this phone that is has so many features, that many third-party apps are rendered obsolete in it. I've discarded several apps I used to use in my Galaxy S 2 when I got this phone.

Yes it is kind of weird. If you take the screenshot with the s pen, you can annotate on the front right away. If you take it by swiping your palm across, it takes a screenshot and to access it, you must use gallery. And the default on the gallery allows you to edit on the back unless you choose advance edit and then you can choose photo editor and draw on the front.
But what I don't like is once you start drawing on an 8 MB photo and sends it, the receiver will only get a 1280 x 720 file. Also once you annotate the back of the picture and send it, it only sends the front or the back, not both. You have to send each one separately.
I have the latest CM 10.1 d2spr nightly and I'm noticing that when I take a picture (either with the camera app or another app that has camera support), I have no preview of it after it's taken.
For instance, in the Facebook app, once you take a photo, you're given a checkmark and an X to decide whether or not you want to accept or reject the taken photo. With mine, I take the picture, the screen flashes to indicate the photo's been taken, but the on-screen image continues in camera mode. So I have no idea what the picture I've just taken looks like.
Is everybody's like this or just mine and there's a setting I haven't noticed to change yet?

I have the same problem, apparently the solution is to use a custom camera app for those in-app photos and use the native app to take regular pictures... I'm still trying to figure out how though
Hi.. maybe i'm missing something (very probable), but i can't seem to find out if it's possible to have both buttons on the camera screen at once, for taking a photo or starting a video recording.
I've attached three pics to show what i'm on about.
1st shows M8 camera screen. Only button is to take a picture.
2nd shows M8 dual shot screen, on here it's possible to do both, take a pic or start a video.
3rd is from the One X camera screen. On it it's also possible to do both from the same screen.
Is it possible to get both options on screen on the M8? or do i have to keep switching between photo & video mode in the menu? which is a bit annoying if i want to quickly take a picture but have forgotten to switch to photo mode!
Thanks in advance for any help. :good:
That'll be a no then
By going to video mode (press the 4 circles in bottom right of the screen and select video), you can start recording video, and after you record a while, 2-3 sec, a camera button (that captures images while recording) appears under the stop button.
I don't know if there is any other way to get them both simultaneously.
The second pic is dual capture mode. This mode allows to use front and back camera at the same time not take a pic and video. You can see the red box in the corner which is the front camera image.

What i meant is that the buttons to take a picture or start recording a video are both on screen.
What i hoped for was a way to have it like the last pic from the One X, so that as soon as you start the camera up you can have photo & video buttons on screen.. but it seems as if that's not possible, maybe because of the two cameras on the back of the M8?

What about the Zoe option? You can take pictures with it or you can hold the "capture" button in for 3 seconds or so and it starts recording a video.

There already is that option in camcorder mode. As soon as you start recording the camera button becomes available for taking pictures.

This isn't exactly the best option since you lose any ability to use the duo camera effects if you take pictures with Zoe. Does anyone know of any mods that bring back the photo capture and video capture buttons on the stock Sense 6 camera UI screen at the same time?
