Camera Preview Broken [SlimBean 4.2.2 Build 6] - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Camera preview seems to be broken in default camera app.
Swapping back and fourth from front to back camera stretches the preview in a random way.
Swapping from landscape to portrait stretches the preview in a random way.
True mode doesn't help much.
(I wish I could just post in the official thread... post limit sucks)

what exactly have you done to try and troubleshoot this? what kind of wipe did you perform prior to flashing this ROM?

I've tried ending the app, clearing data, true view.
I've tried a full wipe. (wipe davlik, manual format /system, wipe user data, wipe cache)
Then just installed the ROM and gapps.
It's definitely a problem with the SlimBean compiled camera app.
All previous builds worked perfectly.

I noticed some of the same issues on slimbean 6
I'm going to ignore for now because just about everything else in the rom is working fine

Not sure if joke based on my name or insult :3
Well, it's one of the issues they tried to fix on many different devices, but they seem to have broke it for this build on d2att. I posted it because of this, knowing that it might be a simple fix to push out the old code for a particular device.

Hmm sounds like they removed the smooth scrolling cache tweak. You could try supercharging it. Or you could jump ship to Aokp31.. its basically the same deal as cm9b2 just more features. Its on the same framework 4.0.4... and it runs slick.. it has the option to force enable the smooth scrolling and it works like a charm. Sorry if suggesting another ROM isnt an option..
Yes I would prefer to stay on this one... this rom you mentioned is still on alpha right? I think i might try cleaning the cache in cwm not sure if that might help..

Aokp... its really on par with cm9 beta. They are very similar and just as stable. Aokp just has extra features.. that come with the ROM control. And no wiping cache in cwm is not what I ment. Scrolling cache is a different cache entirely .

If you would like you could just wipe cache and dalvik and flash right over it. However i suggest you wipe everything.. now that the play store restores your apps you've installed with it automatically thats the best option. I used to be really hesitant to do fresh installs.. but since the play store remembers what've previously installed and does it upon restore your google account its much easier and less room for error .
Interesting. I am actually having the same issue. It was not a problem on beta 1 but beta 2 for some reason is just awful for me. I may have to jump to AOKP. I really liked an earlier build I was using but it had some scrolling problems too. These are all smoothed out with Build 31 then?

[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?

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.

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.

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.

Camera issues

I'm running CM 10.1 & my camera reboots every time I take pix with flash enabled... Not only on this ROM though but aosp ROMs period... So does anyone know of a camera I can use on 10.1??? If so can u link me to??? Thanks in advance

Sometimes it takes longer than a couple of hours before someone can help.
Anyways, can we have a little more information?
When you downloaded CM10.1, did you do check the md5sum to make sure your download wasn't corrupted somehow?
When installing these various AOSP Roms, did you just wipe /data and /cache?
In past Roms, have you ever tried a camera mod or something that might affect the camera?
Are you using a custom Kernel?
I would try the following:
Verify that your download was complete (md5sum). If not, redownload.
Do a full system wipe. Not just a factory reset. I'm thinking something left over in your /system is interfering with your camera.
I've done all that bro.... no cam mods... nothing... everything is as it should b... and it only happens on AOSP roms for me.. on two different s3's... I don't need a fix I just wanna know if I can just use another camera app.. if so.. can someone lead the way

try downloading an apk for a different camera. also trying making sure you kill all your apps and release some ram. I never had the cam issue but had so laggin issues n what I just explained fixes all that. also when u downloading the rom and installing it. did it give u the option to choose different cameras? like with morph we get to pick which cam app is wanted.

CyanogenMod 10.2 Nightlies Discussion Thread

As the title states, this thread was created for the sole purpose of discussion on CM 10.2 nightlies.
Discuss bugs, ask questions, discuss apps, describe your experience and anything else.
TWRP 2.6.x is confirmed to work for these nightlies.
Cwm 6.0.3.6 is confirmed thanks to polarbe4r
To those new or unaware :
So yesterday as of August 13th, CM has been releasing nightlies for Android 4.3.x for our D2tmo. Go to get.cm and click on D2tmo to download them.
Please don't forget to download the latest GAPPS for 4.3.0 from goo.im/gapps and keep in mind the latest GAPPS function only on the latest 4.3.0 current release.
My experience with it so far : I've had very bad run ins with CM on the d2tmo personally in the past. Audio bugs, bad battery, random bootloops occasionally. I would however like to report the nightlies seem stable, smooth and decent on battery. So far with the exception of Focal the New camera app, I have not noticed a problem, luckily the 4.3 AOSP camera is included in. I recommend sticking to stock kernel for the time being. I tried a couple of third party kernels and had some restarts and graphic bugs. So please, if you have tested the nightlies yet, please leave some feedback for the user and the developers.
Please use the following GAPPS for these 10.2 night lies :

i had an issue with focal already though, both times with HDR turned on. once when moving the focus circle around it froze, then after taking a pic, the image went to gallery sideways and i tried turning the phone or scrolling the images, it froze again
i do not have this issue with 10.2 on my new Nexus 7

prepping my phone for the move to liquid smooth to cm10.2. I am doing a super wipe on it so i want to make sure everything is in order be back with my comments soonish.
I'll hopefully have enough time this weekend to fiddle with my phone and try whatever nightly is up at the time. One thing I'll say right now is that I'll setup everything like I have it right now. Might lose a few mods I recently got but no big deal, all reversible. I hope there's no problems restoring from 4.3 to a 4.2.2 CWM backup.

You mean your backup is stored on an external SD card?
I had a screen of death while listening to play music and skipping a track with holding the volume up feature.
Dirty Upgraded from Nightly 8-13 to Nightly 8-14. Upgraded Gapps as well. FC'd for the first reboot on Phone (Dialer was not present from 8-13).
Used all day on Dirty Upgrade without issue after a few reboots. Play Store could not update any software and Helium could not take a backup.
Got home and Clean installed 8-14 and Gapps. Zero problems after install on typical applications. Rebooted for Google to Restore Apps from Backup. File Manager can not display /storage/emulated/0 or /storage/emulated/legacy after enabling root mode. Had to use /mnt/shell/emulated/0 and /mnt/shell/emulated/legacy (Yes I know they are the same location, but just for thoroughness I used both).
Using Terminal Emulator you are able to see that /storage/emulated/legacy exists, but /storage/emulated/0 does not.
Code:
su
cd /storage/emulated
ls -a
