ICS Video camera

Quick question - now that the photo camera on ICS for Desire Z is mostly working, would it be hard to get it to make movies?
I have no idea how hard this is to do. Just asking

You'd have to write the code.

I am not a developer, but I am certain that, yes, this is a very hard thing to do and I really haven't read anything about progress in this regard, since zbuw came up with the initial workaround to get the camera partially working.
The main problem still seems to be that, so much code has changed in ICS that we basically need new drivers from htc or qualcomm in order to get it fully working. I expect that we won't see full camera functionality until a leak comes up from which we can extract the drivers (I don't know enough about the similarities of other devices, hardware-wise, to guess on how likely this is.

That's normally fair game but you're replying to someone who can't even post in the dev section yet, don't make him download backup wipe flash discover it isn't working then restore.. no, to the best of my knowledge (having just tested it and seen it reported elsewhere) recording does not work at this time (unless some wild development has happened in the past couple days).

thanks. I will give that a shot. I kinda need video recording working from time to time, so it will be painful running ROM without it ... is that true that none of ICS ROMs have the video camera working (just pic taking)?

From everything I have read either here or CM, what I believe they are waiting on is drivers from either HTC or Qualcom to further develop the camera. I believe they have it working somewhat. I am NOT a dev by any stretch just passing along what I have read.
Hope this helps

Yes this is true, and even picture taking is iffy at best (you have to install third party app and most people can only take non-buggy pictures at VGA (really low) quality)
If you need video recording AT ALL do not use ICS yet.

thanks guys, those statements change the ground. in fact I will wait a little longer until those drivers get released and developers can fix camera issues.
I use camera for pics often and videos occasionally, so I wouldn't like a phone like that at all.
also, what does it mean that GPS is "kinda" working now (Andromadus v10), it's broken or not?
I use Google Navigation frequently whenever I get lost or traveling to current closest (unknown) chain store location and such ... and I kinda rely on that ... I guess I need to wait for a beta ROM, alphas are not for me yet.

This seems to be the most commonly askes question in all the ICS and JB threads. If you search through the Desire HD development forums (fora???) you'll see evry single ROM with ICS and JB has camera issues of one kind or another. Some of them have a semi-working camera, some can record video without sound, but up til now, none at all work completely. There is also an issue as to which camera chip is in your phone, different regions/countries/networks seem to have different cameras, and I haven't yet seen anyone post a definitive guide to what is where, and what works with each ROM. All I can suggest is read all the posts in the ICS dev threads, make a backup of your current ROM and flash away until you find the one that works best for you. A lot of people are hopeful that the newer Jellybean ROMS will be fully functional shortly, but for now, if a working camera is a must, stick to Gingerbread and use an ICS theme with a launcher like ADW or GO.

First ICS rom with all features (including CAMCORDER)

Hello people!
I don't know why, but does anyone noticed that here on XDA is ICS rom for HTC Desire that has everything working properly (at least for me)???
HTC DESIRE-AOKP-milestone 6 by pratheek1992 is best one I tried.
You can find him here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867046.
Camera and camcorder WORKS
This is my 'configuration':
HTC Desire (Bravo) PVT-4 SLCD
HBOOT: Stock Alpharev Hboot
Recovery: 4Ext Recovery.
SD: Transcend 8 GB Class 6 ( I took 512 MB EXT3 Partition)
After I flashed rom, I picked Touchwiz launcher and set all necessary things about google account.
I tried apps, (first camera and camcorder) and they work very well. This rom is still under development, but i'm impressed that we're having everything functional.
P.S. Thank You pratheek1992!
EDIT: I used Mount2SD script with Aroma Installer, I have choosen Apps and Dalvik to Ext, untick Safe Mode.

Sandvold's ICS looks like feature complete and working too...
... though I still don't have enough courage to install any ICS ROM on my main and only Desire, sticking with gb custom rom

Yes it does, but built in camcorder and videoplayback not working (truth is that they work with 3rd apps).
In this AOKP rom built-in ICS camcorder works. Maybe video playback is a little bit laggy, but works better than Sandvold's.
I'm greateful to Sandvold, his rom is amazing, but these "little" features were important to me for choosing ICS rom.

Don't know why I'm still replying, but I couldn't resist:

I mean that everything what coming with this rom is working. I tried every single app. Flashed Mount2SD, flashed Gapps, flashed G Now and everything working. And videoplayback is correct.
Why are you angry? I haven't lied in any aspect. When I said everything, I thought everything what is important for normal using of phone even for advanced user.
Try it and then comment on my post.

It seems that nothing can be shared without someone's bad critics.

All critics are good.
You don't need to jump from 10th floor to know that you're gonna die.
My suggestion to you, search Desire thread a little bit (especially Q&A section) and see how many problems ICS/JB caused lately then start praising around. People here are, hopely, mature and don't need anybody to praise them and make them gods, especially recognised developers.

It's not about any recognised developer, this is not any praising. It's objective feedback of using someone's rom, This feedback could help someone. And please, who are you to lecture me?? This is about rom, not about me or you. Neither you tried it and you're telling me about it.

I was talking about the latest version of Sandvold's package.
Do not know but Sandvold declares what's working, i.e.:
- Full hwa
- Camera+preview+panorama + video working
- HW accelration
- Video streaming and playback
... you tried it and found any bug? Report it, please... as I would like to know it (and reconsider my decision about using that package in the future).

Sandvold wrote that more than 6 month ago. Camera works. HWA works. Video recording and video playback not working (FCs or disorted or artefacts on screen). It can be fixed by using some 3rd part programs. For example: for video recording you can use program Video Illusion from Store and for video playback you can use MX Player also from Store. In AOKP this working properly.
Developers are planning to solve problem with camcorder and playback with porting Kernel 3.0, but it seems that this is (more than partially)solved by AOKP ported rom which I mentioned in first post.

MIUIv4 with miui gb camera (THIS ONE ONLY!) can record videos without funny weird output and also have HWA.

Thanks for the sugestion, I'm using Sandvoid 0.18.1. I'll try out those apps to fix the video problems. The rest of this Rom is perfect for me

4.1

Rom 4.1 to be released in the Ark s?

Nope, not from SONY.
No one of the 2011 Xperias will get JellyBean.
You have to flash CyanogenMod10 (CM10) or other AOKP based ROM.
Look on the link in the first line in my signature, in this thread you find a lot of ROMs.

This ROM supports Bravia Thecnologie? If not, will them support in futere? It's possible?

Which ROM ? CM10? Don´t know, have not tested it.
But look in the threads of the ROMs, there you always find a Changelog, or can ask questions there.

i tryed 50% of roms .but nothing found with this feature

...
- Support xLound and Bravia Engine
- Added WALKMAN player from xperia T

So maybe Bravia engine is just available in stock-based ROMs.
Like HDMI....

HDMI can be replaced with DNLA server or antoher method. I put video in HDusb connected with router and i watch them on tv lcd 40" through router with server DLNA. There are more method for watch video in HD but Bravia engine is not replaceable on the smart.
So maybe Bravia engine is just available in stock-based ROMs.

It's available for all rom ics based but it's maybe not available for rom Jelly Bean based

Yep, that´s what i mean.
No original Sony JB, so no Bravia & HDMI on custom JB.
I really hope Sony will give the driversources to the XDA-Devs... would be great if they don´t want make a 4.1/4.2 stockROM. :fingers-crossed:
Well, DLNA is an option, and i also use it, but it´s cool to watch movies at a friend just using the miniHDMI/HDMI cable at a friend who has no network attached TV.

I agree with you though i don't think that Sony give their source, at least until they have updated their devices to jb

Yea, but i don´t think that they ever will do that for us Xperia2011 owner, even if the 2012 all have their JB.
Maybe they are afraid that the XDA-Devs do the better job than their programmers.... :laugh:
and there also will probably be copyright things with qualcomm and other companys.

[Q] JB rom with working camera and video?

Ok, i already anticipate replies based on "use the damn search", ...please do us all a favor and don't clutter the thread with that kind of posts, try to max your posts number somewhere else :silly:
Anyhow, atm i have tried to install few JB roms on my HTC Desire GSM, the latest i have installed is JellyNow(btw: battery friendly), but still the same problems remain, the damn camera works but not so stable, often results in soft restart and when watching video as well(sometimes)
Is there a stable JB rom with camera and video working?
Please reply with posts where you can speak from your own experience, everything else is without arguments.

Simple answer is NO.
There are Nikez and VJ's CM10.1, but the camera and video are choppy and tearing.

yup, i have stumbled upon this one a week or two ago, but i have read somewhere that its development has come to STOP, apparently lack of developers in their team....i am not sure if this is correct information.
Although i might give it a go, to see how it goes...all i need is daily driver, i am not that active user, because JellyNow can hold 2days, but it isn't usable any more, sometimes i cant answer a phone-call, because when ringing screen doesn't respond as it should, just showing incoming call, then it needs up to 5sec to start reacting....wierd.
Anyhow i am still in a hunt for a fine balanced rom....the problem is i am now addicted to JB stuff, beacuse it almost has it all i need within OS, so need for installing additional apps is minimum.
Tnx

I'm using jelly time and the camera and video work perfectly fine...I've been using this ROM for a good 3 months now...I will just add though that for some reason I can't find the camera now to use it lol but I think I disabled it cuz I never use it and would always accidentally open it....
I'm using jelly time R29,
I hope this helps you!
