Why can't Sense Roms control softkey backlights...

while cm7 and other AOSP roms can, either directly, in display brightness settings, or through apps (screen filter, Moon + reader etc)? The same apps don't work with the softkeys in sense.
Am currently on cm7, mainly because of the darn softkeys blinding me while reading or watching vids.
And is there a camera app for cm7 that does auto focus, like the HTC camera app? And how about internet pass-through?
It seems I need a combination of both types of Roms!

Have you tried the Miui Camera? I was using it with CM7. It's pretty nice, has Autofocus as well as Antishake.
It can be installed as a system app and replace the stock camera (rename the apk to camera, and place in the system app folder and change the permissions. or just install as a stand alone app. I chose to replace my stock camera.
If you have any issues, let me know.

Thanks!
I'll give this app a try!

Mine must be broken because they are hardly blinding.

Must be!
I'm talking about reading with very low screen brightness at night.

I just installed it! First time I had a chance to use the barcode scanner.
Nice app! Is there a way to zoom in using video? And can I use the front camera with it? I haven't found an option for that, so far.

I don't know of any way to zoom on the video.
I have the front facing camera option on the left hand side of the screen near the top. It has a camera with arrows around it. I'm not sure if it is on the version I linked though. I've switched back to the Miui rom and using the lastest version 1.9.9 which has the front facing camera option (works for both camera and video)... I can try and pull the apk and see what happens if I flash it to CM7 later...

Thanks! I would appreciate this very much!
PS: I'm still hoping someone can explain why there is no control over the softkey lights in sense roms.
For example, screen filter and Moon + reader can both turn them off using AOSP roms, but the same apps cannot in Sense roms.
Is this something that is easy to add and nobody else wants this function, or is there something in the sense roms making it hard to incorporate?

Tried flashing the camera from the latest Miui build (1.9.9) in CM 7... no luck, just force closes.
I'm sure there may be someone out there that knows what needs to be modded to make it work. I wish I did...
I'll enclose the apk if anyone wants to try to mess with it.

Thanks a million for trying, Don!

No problem. Good luck on the backlighting.
I enjoy being able to kill mine when reading books. It's a nice feature to have. Crazy that on the sense based roms that dimming the display doesn't effect the soft key back lighting like it does on the Aosp roms Crazy..

The Fixed2 version doesn't have FFC support. There is also a TEST1 version which has enabled the FFC for some. The link in my signature will take you to the post about Fixed2 but it also links to TEST1. I'm currently working on the version from 1.9.2 so if you want to try it out, PM and I'll give you the download link. The only reason I'm not just posting for everybody right now is so people on various devices/roms give feedback about what needs fixed and tweaked.
As far as why we can't take the app right from MIUI and have it work is because it's dependent on pieces of the MIUI framework. Basically, to make it work the apk needs to be decoded and have some of the framework added to it. Would be a lot easier if MIUI was open source.

[Q] Android 4.2 Camera

Anyone here got a working Android 4.2 Camera that uses 5 Mega pixels instead of 3?
I've tried lots of mods out there but it doesn't seem to work.
Besides, I wonder why it only is able to use up to 3MP and not 5MP unlike other phones?

Try zooming in using 4.2 camera .. you wil find that its a bit blurry. Where as if your using cm10's camera its much more clear when you zoom in.try it.

I second that. The difference comes in when you're viewing it on the computer.
Hence, I was wondering if I could retain the 5MP on the 4.2 Camera because it's blazing fast.

Good for you. I don't have one though. I wouldn't say I depend on my camera a lot, but should there be any events, I'll depend on my phone's camera. Too bad that the new camera only takes up to 3MP. I was hoping if someone would fix it. It can easily replace the previous CM10 camera
in any custom rom.

The camera will be able to take 5mp shot when:
a. someone mods it
b. roms with android 4.2 starts coming for our device.

Agreed. Since I've no experience in coding and modding, I can only come here to seek help from more professional people.
I wonder if 1ceb0x will give it a go? Since it's available in paranoid android rom, naturally it's good to get it fix and share it with the community.

CM Camera Quality

Hi CM camera quality seems to be very low, especially when taking photos in low light.
Does anyone know of mods to improve quality or re enable BIONZ?
Or maybe a port of stock camera+a drm hack? Anyone tried the stock camera on CM with the new DRM hack?

Last time I asked in a CM forum they said it isn't possible. I don't know if anything changed.
But you are right, camera is not good. It is the only reason why I use a sock based ROM.
If there is a possible solution I would like to hear it.

No, in the OP they write that it doesn't work on custom roms that aren't based on Sony's rom :-\

I'd be very surprised if it worked, afaik Sony apps need the Sony framework, which cm, aokp etc don't have.
I once (months ago) installed the Z2 camera app, and it refused to start without the framework.

Actually its not the stock cam itself the problem.
I compared google camera on stock rom vs. google camera on AOSP/CM Based rom and google cam on stock owns it all. Maybe it has something to do with the libs

Stock LG Camera APP with Custome Rom's

I've read through the forums a bit and have not found an answer to my question so here goes.
I flashed CM12.1 on my D850 a few days ago and love it. Thing is all the different camera apps available that I have tried suck except for Oppo. Still it is no where near equivalent to the stock camera app. Would it be possible to make a driver for the stock camera app that would work with CM12.1 or even other stock roms? If so how would you go about doing that? What would be needed? I have used Xcam for the stock rom and really like that camera app. How hard would that be to port over to CM12.1? The Stock ROM that comes on the G3 is not all that bad but I personally love android when it is in its truest form, but I also like a good camera.
If nothing about can happen are there any custom Stock Roms? Rom's that would allow use of Xcam or stock camera but still allow the level of customization?

With all due respect but this question has been asked around a thousand times, in hundreds of threads.

No, missing LG framework = no stock camera possible on AOSP roms.

Hey thanks for the respones and yes I know the question has been asked I guess I wasn't clear enough in what I was asking. I meant would it be possible to add what is needed to get the camera to work? Like pick apart the parts of the framework that is needed and integrate it into cm12.1. That would allow the addition of a few cool features of the lg stock rom

You do realise it makes no difference right
Having the LG Camera App doesnt mean that 4K recording is magically gonna be enabled

That really doesn't matter to me. I am more interested in the quality of pictures and also the burst capabilities of the LG app
