[SOLVED][Q] Camera freezing

I'm running CM10 nightlies for a while now my camera has been failing. Everytime I try to take a picture, after a couple of seconds, it just freezes. Has anyone had this and tried fixing it?
So turns out that Smart Stay is causing the problem because it is trying to access the camera the same time I am trying to use it. So to fix it I just added any app that uses the camera to the exception list option in smart stay. Finally an end to this annoying problem. (or is it? ...I really hope it is.)

I had the same problem until I switched to jelly bean jellybomb rom instead. Try it, u will love it

I'll definitely give it a try, but what about if I still want to use cm10? Has anyone had any progress fixing this problem or at least finding the source of it?

In the changelog for cm10 it says the next nightly will introduce a "Fix Ignore Keyevents", maybe, just maybe, that will help!

Many people do not have this problem. Are you sure its not something you installed?

I have odined back to stock, and wiped&&formatted everything possible. I did come across a thread (the link I have since lost) that mentioned something about possibly gapps causing the problem. Just know I had the idea that maybe because I am using JustinBean's inverted gapps there is a problem. I will investigate and see if that helps.

I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner. So even after the update, no change.. still freezing - GREAT! So then I started getting really aggrivated and started to uninstall apps that "Pimp My Rom" included, and I thought flash might be the culprit. And then it hit me, this is a camera problem right? Well then what app uses the camera? SMART STAY of course, and it made even more sense because it takes a sample at a certain interval and that explains that I am able to use the camera only for the short amount of time (always the same amount of time). So to fix the problem I just set in the exception list in smart stay an exception for any app that uses the camera. I really hope this is the fix I need. Thanks for your input guys!!

[Q] custom ROM camera problem

sorry guys, since i couldn't post my problem on the development section, i posted my question here.
I am running CyanogenMod 10 Nightlies 4.1.2. I noticed the photos i take with the stock camera app cannot be seen. The photos seem to be fine when i use a third party app (Pudding camera).
Is this a known issue? i am just asking around to confirm if its a problem with the ROM and not an outcome of my stupidity. Otherwise its a brilliant ROM. thanx.

No, it's not a known problem, at least I don't have it.
They don't appear at all in the gallery app?
Go to application manager (rough translation)
Clear data from these apps:
Gallery
Media storage
Then reboot and you should be fine.

thank you

CAMERA issuses

Please help!
I have been having problems with connecting to the main camera. With several different ROMs I'm having this issue. jaydub's official PACMAN, Jedi SOA, etc. One person in a thread told me to google "camera won't load t889" and look for a link to xda. Well I have searched google and xda for that and many different other phrases to try and find the file I have to save to my sdcard from a TW ROM or stock in-order to get my camera working on other ROMs again. I love the phone and screen size. I enjoy using the camera to capture moments of my kids, but it has been a major problem as of late. PLLLLEASSEEEE help.
Post link to thread, or google link, or something please. Maybe even the file I need to copy. If this is taken care of in another thread I apologize for I couldn't find it. Please post it's link if that's the case.

Have you tried a third-party app like Camera JB+?

Yes I have, no luck

I have a similar issue on AOSP ROMs. Like every other day, my phone will be unable to connect to camera, a simple reboot fixes it, go figure.

[Q] Lose PhotoSphere functionality on device power cycle

Hi guys,
Every time my Sprint S3 power cycles, I lose the functionality to use PhotoSphere. I have no idea why. I've tried different recovery options, fixing permissions...nothing.
It explains why all of a sudden .zip that previously had worked for me stopped working, and why now I'm able to do it with the APK file.
Honestly, I'm OK with re-installing that APK every time I want to use PhotoSphere, but there's got to be a better fix than that! Any suggestions, ideas, avenues to explore &c would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Do you mind sharing the APK that you used to get Photosphere?
The one or two that I've tried both have the functionality, but the "window" where I'm supposed to see the image being photosphered stays blank. I'm hoping I need a newer/better APK.
Thanks.

I can try - but I was pretty sure I posted a link to the thread in which its posted in your very photosphere thread asking for it - so check there if this doesn't work (my posting a link anyway). But here you go:

Ahh... that was you that provided the link. Thanks for the help.
I did try using that APK, but like I said... for some reason the camera image never displays in the box. I see the box and the blue circle... just no image. I dont get it. I dont have problems with any other camera app.
Thanks anyways. Good luck finding a fix for your issues.

There is one Samsung accessibility feature that I really need: you can invert the screen colors (mainly to get white text on black background) and assign this to a triple click of home button. Any chance this can be ported to CM11 build?
(Thanks to the devs for their awesome work.)

Will there ever be a CM11 build for the chagalllte version?

if someone who owns the LTE version can do it then I guess it can be built... if I had more skills and time I would do that but atm I can't... also would need alot of help because I have never built ROM's before

sm t-800 / sm t-805
Would this rom be feasible only for the t-800 model or also for the t-805 (lte) model?
Best regards

Just curious, dirty flashed cm-11-20141030-v2L-chagallwifi.zip about half an hour ago over the same download yesterday, but youtube still has problems, should i have done a clean install?

Multi-User Name/Picture Not Showing Up
First of all, thank you very much. This ROM is great. Second, I added a second user and they set up their account, but "new user" still appears on the lock screen and in the notification shade (not their name/picture). This is really minor, but I was just curious if anyone else has experienced this.

I downloaded cm-11-20141102-UNOFFICIAL-chagallwifi.zip a couple of hours ago (before it was deleted / re-uploaded I think) and flashed it on a SM-T800. Most of the functions seem to be working fine: WiFi, Google Play Store, YouTube, Video with VLC (avi, mpg, flv)... Also, when I turn off the tablet and connect the charger, it does NOT go in recovery mode (as reported in #110 and later fixed).
I am still catching up on the thread as I just got my tablet so I might have missed some stuff, but I was under the impression that issues with Camera2 where fixed in the latest build by nvertigo67. However, when I start the camera (v2.0.002), it displays a black screen with only the icons on the right and crashes a couple of seconds later (logcat attached to this post in case it helps).
Thanks for the hard work.
PS: Not that it really matters, but the file cm-11-20141102-UNOFFICIAL-chagallwifi.zip.md5sum linked in the original post contains the correct checksum but an osolete filename (and with the absolute path on Barracuda77777's computer I guess).

Camera is working fine here (2.4.023)

Display
All is looking good except the display seems to be overly saturated and too yellow. It looks like stock Samsung did with the "Movie" mode enabled. Is there somewhere to set the display to what I think Samsung called "Basic"? To me that is what produced natural looking color.

Nearly everything is great here as well, but I noticed a couple video issues today.
1) Video doesn't show up from other participants in a google hangout (just their picture)
2) Dish Anywhere app is just a black screen after logging in
Netflix, HBO Go, Slingplayer, WatchESPN, and YouTube all work great.
Has anyone else run into these issues? Thanks!

Hi i'm a french Guy so excuse me for mistakes.
You've done a great great work.
I use this rom since the beginning and it was wonderful.
I had two questions. First is it possible two had the capacitive mod of screen like on tw. On tw we could choose between classic screen or cinema or super amoled i think ?
My second question is about the battery. Do you think you can improve it, mine is less longer than the stock version, on a 48 hours day i will make a screenshot to show you my battery consumption.
I've also remark that i can't install ebay app, there was a 24 error... i've try to erase play store data but nothing to do same error.....
Thanks for your help.

Installed cm-11-20141104-UNOFFICIAL-nvertigo-chagallwifi (md5: d12610c3...) on my SM-T800 over Barracuda's 20141102 build. No issue to report.
I tested Camera2 and it worked with both cameras, several resolutions, effects (color, scene) and modes (picture, panorama, movie).
Great job.

Hi Robin M I had the same issue with BT. You just have to re-flash the kernel chagall-Ingo-v2.zip (see post #2) and then clear cache and dalvik. It worked for me on a sm-t805. Hope it will help.

CM to 805
I have the impression the main reason you are not building CM for the galaxy tab 805 is because you don't have one.
I got one, but I need it for professional reasons in weekdays GMT +1 18:00-21:00.
Also, I don't feel confident to start developing for a tablet I need for professional reasons. maybe for you people it's less of a problem
but I loved CM on my galaxy phone (GT-I9000), so I'd like to help you for the T805.
During other moments, eventually, I could give you SSH access to it (it has a 3G data connection, and as long as you don't start downloading p0rn with it, It's fine to me).
it has been rooted, and has busybox installed, so I'd have to install an SSH server and create a tunnel so you can connect.
Would this give you the necessary information you need to port your T800 CM mod to the T805?

Love the ROM and there's a saturation fix out there...
Love the ROM, but the screen is massively oversaturated by default (reds, in particular, literally hurt my eyes). Luckily, there's an apk out there that fixes this - I use "movie mode" which is the only mode that keeps my retinas attached See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2675721
It works on my Tab S 10.5", although it's confusingly labelled as "Advanced Settings" *under* Settings -> Display -> Advanced Settings. It would be great if something like this could be added to a future build (and the default set to movie mode - the only mode not requiring sunglasses ).
