Has anyone installed the amaze camera app on there tmo gs2. I tried but it said on recovery that it was only for pyramid device.

Why would want to install that on your sgs2? The camera and camera app on our phones is awesome! You just need to know how to tweak the settings for each picture you take.
If you really want that app try this: return your sgs2 and get an amaze instead.

I Respectfully disagree . Amaze camera is better than my nikon camera . And I NEVER touched settings . Left it in auto and it was perfect picture every time . SGS2 camera has lot of "noise" and 8MP is not wide it's like 4:3 . You want 16:9 shot you have to change to 6MP. . Very disappointed with camera , but I don't know if its software or hardware that makes it so bad but in my opinion it is bad . But PHONE it's F*ing billion times better than amaze . Amaze was getting hot in my hand when using and battery was going FAST . I agree we need that amaze app camera on SGS2 . Matteo don't say "return" when you are near SGS2 . It's gonna hear you !!!
Amaze camera is 40 times better than ours

If I might ask for your advice - what would the best settings be for good pictures? It seems to me that when I leave the camera in the settings it defaults to (what it came from the store set at), my pictures are not as sharp as I think they should be? I know its a matter of opinion, but to me, it's almost like its not focusing "all the way"? I hope this makes sense? Anyway, any suggestions on settings for general pictures?? Thank you all in advance!

Agreed. Amaze camera can take multiple clearer photos faster, BUT Tmo Gs2 cold boots Camera faster. So if you're in a hurry to get a photo of some freak on the bus the GS2 will get the job done faster

I gave it a try, and while it does seem to take clearer pics, the camcorder doesn't work. I'd like to have both, even if one is inferior. (Did I just say that??)
I agree. I have both phones and I find that the Amaze camera is really damn good. I expected more from my SG2 camera.

It will take the pic faster but pic would be worthless. blurry crappy taken picture and honestly its not that much speed difference in cold boot. the amaze takes way better pictures with out going into setting and adjusting. I have both gs2 and amaze. Camera goes to the amaze.
Hi all - if you're on ICS (I'm using CyanogenMod 9 RC1), you may have noticed that the Camera app doesn't work very well. I've installed the Camera17 app which appears better, but I still need to do some testing.
Low-light situations are key
Flash and autofocus
Video Recording
Front-facing camera (not sure how to enable appropriately in Camera17 from AOKP (I think).
Any others that you are using? Are they good for the above, and posting to Facebook/Dropbox, etc. ?

I think that due to the Epic's prince falling to around $100 (off contract), you can now get Sprint's best slider with ICS/JB, so a bunch or new people are jumping on the device

Funny thing is that after I cracked my first epic, I got a refurb which started having some issues on clean GB. Odd issues like the home soft key not working, and then Bluetooth not working.
I flashed tpr and was still having radio issues, so I did the full reset with rc1, and it's been mostly solid.
I'll prolly give tpr another shot one of these days, but I got a little shy of some of the extra flashing for bits of troubleshooting I was reading in the thread. Thanks for stepping into the dev realm tho, I love setting where the ROM is going....

I've seen posts like this for various projects of other devices so I figured I would give it a shot here.
If someone can get the Touchwiz camera apk (with the necessary touchwiz framework files) working on CM10 or AOSP, I will give them $20. The camera apk is literally the one thing preventing me from switching to CM10 or other AOSP/AOKP roms.
Everyone else is free to pitch in as well. Together, perhaps we can raise a worthwile & tempting bounty to encourage a skilled developer to get this working. If no one can do it, then we're not losing any money. If someone can pull it off, then it will be worth every penny. The Galaxy S II camera was ported to AOSP on the Fascinate so I believe this could be possible with the GS3.
Current bounty: $20.00
How about multi-view on CM 10/AOKP?

Put me down for another 20 US dollars, the stock Samsung camera is why I always go back to a TW ROM, but I would love to use AOKP.
Its probably possible to do but very very difficult as it needs tw framework. As anything is possible on android put me down for $20 as well. Stock cm/aokp camera is good and could never steer me away from cm/aokp roms but sammy cam would be an awesome addition!

But it looks like procapture does not allow video. My note 2 has the ability to pause and resume recordings without creating a separate file which is really nice and useful for me. Plus the fast/slow motion video to make some humorous/interesting recordings...
Would love a tw independent stock camera like app though...I guess I'll keep looking

You will NOT believe this, but for months now I have been wanting to write a similar post like you did.
If not for the Touchwiz Camera and Gallery I would have switched to AOSP/AOPK/CM10 a long time ago too
The Touchwiz camera and Gallery are so much nicer, and have a lot more features and options and look
so much more professional the differences are like day and night!
One of the main selling points of our S3 phone is the excellent camera and gallery app!!!
Everytime I try AOSP/AOKP/CM10 the camera and gallery looks as if they are a home made BETA or a downgrade!!!
Good luck in your endeavor!!!

there is a video from a past android bbq where steve kondik (cyanogen) makes a presentation about cyanogenmod. You can find it somewhere on the internet. I advise you watch that to learn why the TW camera isn't functional with aosp.
If you want to learn to code, then you can check out the project called cornerstone, which is an open source multiview that was created for ics

a lot of money there and a sister for TwFrameWork porting looooooool you should make a real paypal jackpot for a challenge may be that way it will be done lol ...
nb : i don't know how to put a sister on paypal so don't ask hahahaha (just kidding).
nb 2 : it's not impossible to port that framework ! it just need a lot of work
nb 3 : done before on gb/ics (not all framework but most apps)
nb 4 : will try my chance on multiview for my next CM10.1 paranoid rom.
So, I decided to buy this phone to replace my crappy Motorola Xprt. Mainly because my xprt literally has 0 dev support, and is too small for my hands. Didn't need anything too fancy, so I bought the EVO 4G for 49 bucks.
Few questions I have though:
1. What is the best (iyo) ICS/JB rom for this device?
2. Is there paranoid android for this device? And if so, is it stable?
3. (Weird and oddly specific question) I had an unstable version of cm9 on my xprt, but I had a problem with viewing videos on instagram and vine.. actually they wouldn't play at all. Can anyone on a jb/ics rom confirm if they're able to video videos on one of those apps?
4. Videos in general, do they work alright?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, outside of Evervolv's 4.2.2 & 4.3 ROMs, Jellybean development on XDA for our phones has hit a lull. However, there are still a few newer (and very good) ROMs on the website below. As regards Paranoid Android, we don't have a pure, current version. The site below does have PacMan, Illusion and other variants that incorporate most, if not all of PA's features... Including Halo.

For the most part, any of Wambo's JB ROMs for the EVO will run incredibly well. In my opinion, after flashing all of them I would recommend CM10.1 as being the most smooth and stable.

I'm an absolute scrub when it comes to Android discussions (I only just rooted my phone last night ), but out of the few ROMs I've tried, I think Kendall's JellyBread is the best. It's very sleek, very clean and runs amazingly well. You can check out her thread here if you're interested:

Good luck in your endeavors. For $47 you have an excellent phone on your hands.
What about Reloaded .500? I have been on that for awhile...I might change but then it seems like every ROM has something that doesnt work be it FFC, video, 4g etc...If you read closely PACman rom has no working USB Tether/Camcorder/FFC/4G
Eh the things that don't work don't really bother me. I don't have 4g on the phone I have now, nor do I plan to pay for it. Don't have a ffc either and it really isn't important. I can use videocam illusion for recording video and usb tether is useless to me anyway.

cm7.2 for the win with the mixer theme installed.
Okay guys.. I'm really curious to find out why so many people are having the large amounts of issues with the the TouchWiz 4.3 roms.. so here's what I want to know.
Did you sideload/take the official 4.3 update zip, upgrading to the KNOX bootloader.
If you took the update, are you having any issues flashing the roms via TWRP, or do you have to use another (CWM..Philz..)
If you DIDN'T take the the 4.3 update zip, and you're flashing these 4.3 roms are you having MMS issues, FC's and what not?
Same as above, if you DIDN'T take the 4.3 update zip, do you run into errors trying to flash via TWRP.
Thanks, just trying to figure out some things.
Edit: I took the official 4.3 OTA, am running synergy R3 with absolutely zero issue. 12-13 hours of battery life with about 6 hours of screen on time, forcing OC of 1.6ghz, max brightness etc. My MMS works 100% of the time, and the only thing that FC's is Terraria, because it hates life after the christmas update. What I'm trying to figure out here, is if it's better or not to take the 4.3 KNOX bootloader.
I took the update which blocked all my stuff I wanted to do so I flashed back to stock via twrp because the knox bootloader blocked me from flashing with odin. Then I flashed lorjay rom with out the knox bootloader I had a few problems I had to fix but I got it dialed in good now.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I gave synergy a try, but it seemed to have problems with accounts of over 100 contacts (with contact fix). I probably could have worked it out, but I didn't see any noticeable battery life, signal strength or speed improvements over the (now defunct) Goodness Noteworthy I was running. I did notice all the missing theme and style improvements. After a couple of days, I went back. Maybe someone will come up with a MK4 based rom with the "toys" I've become accustomed to? At this point, I'm not overly optimistic.
I haven't taken the OTA 4.3 update or flashed it either. The main reason is some apps I use a lot aren't working yet with it such as WiFi Tether and FolderMount (I think this may be working now). And for what is gained from update, is not worth it to me for what it will cost.
Also synergy r3 and auto reboot from time to time. I am going to try latest CM11 when I have time...
I have not flashed to 4.3 and until I can see any advantage at all I won't.

Camera works just fine for me. Takes multiple pics and they come out great and MMS is a non issue. Cm11 is freaking fantastic with plasma overclocked to 2ghz and using ART in developer options makes this thing fly like I've never seen! Battery life is great too.
