[Q] Stretched Image When Taking Photos - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hello all,
I recently flashed liquid smooth rom android 4.2.2 on my galaxy s3 i747. I love the rom but for some reason the camera shows a stretched image when taking a photo, but when I go and view the photo taken it looks normal. Why is this happening? The same thing seemed to have when I was on cyanogenmod 10.1. I really don't think its the phones camera but maybe the gapps? Never had this problem on stock touchwiz. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks

It may be a problem with the AOSP camera or your kernel. Lowering the picture's resolution is a temporary fix. If not, try switching between front and back cameras, exit the camera, and reopen camera. Hope i helped!

Thanks for the reply! I have tried that before and still doesn't work. Are you saying I should flash a different kernel? If so which one should I flash?

[APPS] A more complete JB 4.2 Camera and Gallery

Hi,
I've created a flashable zip based on the files extracted by dmmarck (it's all his doing! I'm just packaging it). Just flash from CWM or TWRP.
Everything should work: regular pics, photosphere, gallery and editor. On my device, it all coexists nicely with my existing camera and gallery.
Edit: just noticed that garner had updated his own thread with more things working. It seems his archive contains fewer files, which is great if you want to save space. If it's not working for you, though, try this version.
Thanks cyansmoker!
For me garner's zip didnt work. Yours did!
Trying this out now! Thanks!

Anyone having heat issues with the new cam?
I've heard claims that, yes, it can run your phone pretty hot.
Not sure what it's doing.
Works perfect!

I just noticed that JB 4.2 camera does not have some features what ICS/JB camera has...
Is there any way to get JB 4.1.2 camera for an second camera without another gallery app? ICS camera ("+" version from play store) does not have good features what JB 4.1.2 camera has! :/

Thanks a lot, I was trying to download the zip from another thread but it just keep disconnecting and restarting. this is working perfectly.:thumbup:
Currently using dark paranoid 2.25.1 tablet mode and this camera app working much better and faster than the stock 4.1.2 camera. Loved that photosphere shots.

the ONLY problem I am having with the photosphere is that it seems to snap pictures when the blue dot isnt directly center of the target. Its close to but not directly center which leads to most of my pictures being "off" from one another.. I wonder if theres a way to slow down the speed or pause it for a second so the blue dot lines up correctly

In my case, I found out that actually slowing down while panning with my phone made things better. I guess my phone was having a hard time figuring out what I was aiming it at.
i've tried to slow it down also (this isnt the panorama selection but the photosphere), but once the blue dot to line up the next shot gets close to the target recticle center where it should be(might be a better word), it snaps the next picture before even getting in the center if that makes sense
I get force close when opening both camera and gallery app. Hmm.. not sure what's wrong though.
I have a cwm backup, but is there other way to restore old camera back? maybe someone has the original apk for camera and gallery?
if not I'll just do a full restore.

nvm, fixed it, renamed other apks, changed perm and rebooted...

I believe that as long as you delete /system/app/GalleryGoogle.apk and reboot your phone, you should have access to your old camera.
Of course it is different from ROM to ROM...

rename the gallery2.apk to gallery.bak, then try to install. I dont see a gallery4 on mine (current Bamf), just a GALAXY4, which is a lwp and googlegallery is what the new one is (I think).
Will it work in Galaxy s3?

[Q] Camera broken Jellybam

Hey guys, I'm running Jellybam 5.1 on my Bell Note 2. However, I've run into a rather annoying problem. The camera doesn't work! It'll take a picture ,but then it'll freeze and then flash 10 seconds later. When I go to view the photo in the gallery, it appears blank and then crashes. Also, it seems as though the quality of the jellybean camera is inferior to the stock camera on touchwiz. Any solutions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i dont have a solution to that, but i suggest you to switch to AOKP or CM10.1 rom. save a lot of trouble.
Its the aosp 4.2 camera right? I believe if u turn off the flash it shud work ok.....not sure cuz im on a tw based rom but give it a shot

Turn off the flash or just press the blue button on the screen to take the pic instead of pressing the screen first.

[Q] Help: Camera Failure

Have AT&T GS3 I747 that took a swim. Was able to rescue it, but lost the camera. Tried most everything I could find searching here and elswhere, and finally decided to replace the camera hardware (rear facing, front facing works fine).
Got the new camera installed, and still get the camera failed notice when starting up the TW camera app.
Wondering if it may be driver related. I am running deTmobilized 1.3 ROM, and it behaves the same as the stock UCDLK3 for this error.
Is there perhaps another component that might be causing this, or a way to update to newer camera drivers?
Everything else on the phone works perfectly, but it sure would be great to get the rear facing camera back up and running.
Things I have tried:
Force closure and wipe camera app cache.
Alternate camera apps.
Reinstall old camera.
Anybody think they can provide some guidance?
Thanks.

I have tried 3 different ROMS (stock UCDLK3, rooted UCDLK3, and deTmobilized 1.3.
I have also tried all these with both the original back facing camera hardware, and the new camera hardware.
With the original camera hardware, I can get a camera firmware check to complete with *#34971539#. With the new camera hardware, the factory test fails with attempting to run the camera firmware check key sequence. Here is the screenshot foom the camera firmware check that does run to completion.

Have you tried a custom like cyanogenmod? I am just curious since those camera drivers are different than touchwiz.

Just tried the nightly of CM, and no luck with camera working. Gallery would not start. Looking more and more like a board level hardware problem. I have a copy of the GT-I9300 service manual which has a troubleshooting flowchart for the 8M camera. If I can rig a test jig and get a scope, maybe I can try that. It requires checking voltages at 6 points on the MB, and also a frequency check at one point.

No need to apologize, guess that is what I deserve for dropping the darn phone into the toilet! The good news is it finally got me off the stock ROM and into better things! Now, to hope I can score a replacement phone without having to cut off an appendage to obtain it.

[Q] 13MP New Google Camera?

Has anyone got the new google camera to work with 13MP or gotten the PhotoSphere to work?
This camera Im talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341996
Can only select 8MP in the settings and when you start PhotoSphere and align it, nothing happens.
Im using Paranoid Android rom from 26th June and F93 0.6 Kernel, tried with Kite r30 and was same. Anyone had any luck with other roms and/or kernel variations?
Just downloaded it and had the same problem.
Problem a ui error.

If you have that then unistall all gallery you have (be sure to backup them) and install new one as a normal app. Then you can launch the PhotoSphere.

But it does work, and it works on many different phones and brands with this camera, so your point is mute. Of course it may be patched out in the future, but I guess only Google developers know when or if that happens.
I wonder if the greyed out camera has to do with why we dont get 13MP.
I watched the thread,this new camera apk does not automatically brings photosphere. Again,i'm gonna quote chadouming,one of the top developers for our g :"if you want photosphere,buy a nexus".there is more than the camera.apk and gallery.apk.you also need to patch the kernel with the necessary lines to make it functional.
End of story.so,unless you are a dev and you know how to make it work,be my guest and go ahead.but any other discussions are useless and unproductive.
Ps,if the camera it's coming from a nexus device,of course we won't have 13mpx,nexus has 8mpx camera.not to mention the kernel. Don't get me wrong,i would love to have photosphere working on g,but repeating same things over and over and opening new threads for nothing is not going to help.

You clearly have no idea where this new camera is from. It's from HTC one and Samsung gs4 which do have 13mp(the s4). So the camera should handle 13mp. As for photosphere it's not that it's blocked and crashes, it just doesn't take the picture. It may not work for us, but it does work for lots of other phones, so I wanted to rule out it's not PA.
EDIT: I just tested with the stock based korean rom for geeb and it worked with photosphere, still just 8MP though.
EDIT2: Just realized geeb is just 8MP. Guess I will KDZ back and try on E975 stock.
EDIT3: Stock E975 didnt give 13MP either, but you can use PhotoSphere, and you can use both cameras at same time, dont even need root to install.
I was hoping it would replace the LG camera.it works but iamnot impressed.it is just like Snap Camera HDR.apk..with slightly wider view.

Camera on Chad's CM10.1
Hi,
Since I can't post in the developer thread yet, I hope this is the correct place to ask about Chad's CM10.1 for the LG e975.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229806 "CM10.1 for Intl Optimus G (E975)"
Does anyone know what is the status of the camera in Chad's CM10.1? I had been using CM10.1 official but decided to try out Chad's version, using the latest nightly cm-10.1-20130709-Unofficial-geehrc_intl.zip. In my case the camera won't focus? Just checking here to see if anyone has similar problems because the posts in that thread seem to suggest the focusing issue has been fixed.
Thanks.
for me work
hello, I have a 975 (italian) model, and I can confirm that photospere work perfectly. The only problem is the 8MP resolution. Is strange becouse my apk is from galaxy s4 that have a 13MP camera. Anyway I'm more than satisfacted to have photospere, and I can confirm too that android camera and LG camera are both installed and both work togheter (same for the gallery!)
bye bye

Just install like a normal app apk. Apparently Google edition phones that aren't nexus get photosphere also, which this is from.
Installs on my Aus E975K CM 10.1.2 after I uninstalled the existing Gallery2 app, but restricted to 8MP. Also photosphere will open, but not take anything or show the scene (sits on "Align to Start").
I have reinstalled the old Gallery too, and the two camera apps seem to sit alongside each other just fine.

You have to be on stock for photosphere to work. But it should be fixable for cm if they want and find why.

[Q] Video camera preview is stretched on AT&T S3 with CM 10.1 Stable

I recently installed CM 10.1 Stable release on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3, and everything is working fine, except for an oddity with the camera. When the mode is switched to video, the preview screen appears stretched horizontally when the phone is in portrait mode, and the screen is stretched vertically when the phone is in landscape. The recorded video itself, however, looks just fine. Does anybody else have this problem and if so, is there a known fix? Thank you.

Just curious how come you aren't running the 10.2 stable? That release is a bit better in my opinion. I was on that one once and didn't have issues. How did you flash the ROM? Have you tried reflashing?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4
I'm running 10.1.2-d2att, the stable just came out last month, I checked and the latest nightly build is still 10.1. I used Heimdall in Download mode to push ClockworkMod on my phone and then install CM. I wiped the phone first and this is the first custom ROM I've had on it. I haven't tried reflashing yet but it's not that major of a problem that I'd want to go through that hassle. Are there perhaps any other camera app alternatives out there to download?
Oh sorry that's what I meant 10.1.2 sorry for the confusion. I would try a fresh reflash of the ROM.
