[HACK] Update camera FW with AutoFocus in recording - Force flash it (WIP) - Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps

Theres some kind of camera firmware update in samsung apps. Has anyone tried it?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

Never heard of thous firmware ?
where, how can i get them?

Noticed that as well.
Under Samsung Apps (under the Bell network in Canada anyhow), there's:
-----
CameraFirmware_SE
Version 10.9.07
Description:
This is a application to update [SEMCO + SONY] Camera Module.
-----
I haven't tried it either - the [SEMCO + SONY] made me hold off for now...but I now see that SEMCO is Samsung Electro-Mechanics - http://www.sem.samsung.com (component parts division).
Update:
Installing now...requires a reboot.
Haven't noticed anything different...

^^Waiting for report.
Nothing showing in Samsung Apps in UK with XEU product code.

Please upload if possible

yeah, please upload

strange not on jpy euro which pretty much has every app.. maybe is was for canada i9000m only or something.

Sorry - after installing the app, you launch it and it does the update - afterward, the option appears to uninstall the app (which I did). Now the update no longer appears in Samsung Apps.
Trying to check the camera firmware doesn't tell me anything. Checking the Camera software and firmware versions under the application manager also doesn't appear to indicate any update - they both come up as v.1.0.
Hopefully someone else will be able to pull the apk before launching it.

No one else has noticed or tried this update?

Just tried it.... Absolutely nothing has changed with the GUI, that's for sure.

if this is a FIRMWARE update, the GUI won't change at all ! the gui is managed by camera.apk (an android application)
the camera Firmware should be only about picture quality

did anyone compare pictures before and after the update to figure out what changed?

There is autofucus in video mode now jeha thx!

How do you get that?

Under resolution I have 1280x720. Was that there before? It is 1080P isn't it?

Seems to be much better quality now on my photos/videos?!!?? Focus is more precise now?? I'm not shure...but...

Like it says, its 720p (1280x720) and not 1080p (1920x1080).

Anyone have the Snapchat 1.3 apk?

Hoping to get this app working on my nexus 7. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: Or even lower versions might work.
I just tried to side load it and it FC's once you get past the steps to create an account... I think you're s.o.l.
Can you post the apk anyway?

I grabbed the newest version from the play store. I couldn't find a reliable source to DL it from outside that. So if the newest version is 1.3 then yes.
Edit-- just checked the play store again. It is indeed 1.3

Sorry for bringing up a month old thread, but along with the screen density possibly being a factor, maybe it force closes due to Snapchat starting the app using the rear camera, which bviously we don't have. Maybe there is a way we can tweak it to set the FFC as default and maybe that will stop it from force closing?

thats a great idea i tried the current 1.6 version and i always have the same force quit after i log in so its nothing to do with the density since the app starts up normaly until i log in.
Well we can try the screen density idea make everything larger so its like a phone, if that works maybe somehow we can extract the application and MOD it for a 7' screen by changing the supported resolutions or DPI.
But if doing any of that doesn't work then we are out of luck unless someone can really change the app.

I've pulled the app from my phone and installed it on here. It'll force close after you sign in but then if you open it and receive a snap you can see the menu with all your history and even view the snap but if you try to take a snap it force closes so it must be because it defaults to the ffc
Anyone got it working on N7?
Some one wanna try this version
snapchat1.6.apk
I would, but i shattered my screen last night and it's unusable... (Thank God for accidental damage insurance)
OK. Got may tab repaired... and it doesn't work...
I sent å request to snapchat team and got this mail back:
At this time, there is not a way to dowload older versions of Snapchat. Unfortunately, Snapchat is not compatible with your Nexus 7 device. However, we are always working on ways to improve Snapchat and plan on making it available to more devices in the near future. We appreciate all your support.
Thank you!

[APP][MOD] Camera 5.1.620655 from 4.2.2 on 4.3 | Sense 5 [20130926-info]

Hi guys! I've been using @olvrick's camera from his thread [APP][SENSE][M7]Camera.apk from newest 2.25 base with GIF support and better quality, but it only works on Android 4.2.2, so I made a little repack for 4.3, nothing special.
[highlight]NOTE 1: Camera from FW 3.18 is the same version like the one from FW 3.17.
NOTE 2: There is no camera in FW 3.22 OTA update.[/highlight]
Download links:
Camera_422_on_43_v2-lite.zip
BUG:
When you click on the thumbnail to review the photo, it shows you last taken one and only details are available.
But when you click back once (just once), you are still in gallery, but this time it has options and you can scroll through photos.
Click back once more and you are back to camera.
Camera_422_on_43_v1-lite.zip
If you messed with camera before this mod/apk:
Camera_422_on_43_v2-full.zip
NOTE: Nothing special about this one, no extra features, just extra files to replace messed up ones.
Camera_422_on_43_v1-full.zip
And if you wanna restore original from 4.3:
Camera_restore_on_43_v2-full.zip
Camera_restore_on_43_v1-full.zip
Changelog:
Code:
[b]
v2
fixed bug-1, made bug-2 :p
media-profiles tweaks
[I]bug-2: clicking on thumbnail takes you to last picture, clicking back takes you to gallery, back again to camera.[/I]
v1
initial release
[I]bug-1: by clicking on thumbnail in cam you can only see last photo[/I]

Just got back from racing track. Downloading ROM, but I need sleep (cause my vacation is over), so expect my reply tomorrow.
EDIT: ROM already DL'ed, so I had to check it out... Flash Camera_422_on_43_v1-lite.zip and you should get another camera. Don't use full version. With lite none of the original files will be removed, so it would be easy to remove this one if it's not working.

confirmed working on AHRD 21 no issues. flashed lite tried and it all worked great. flashed full but didnt see any difference
is the full version supposed to have the ISO icon on the main screen and the ability to make the capture button background transparent?

Thank you very much donmarkoni.
When I flash this camera, whenever I click on the previous taken picture it links me to opening the picture itself and only has "details" as the options unlike before where you could edit/delete/etc. Any idea how to get it to what it was like before?

Thanks for confirmation! Full doesn't make any difference for you cause you are on close-to-stock (look-like-stock) ROM.
As for the question, answer is no, no extra on-screen options, those would be Viper Cam options you are talking about.

Yes, I just noticed it myself. Didn't notice it before, as I don't use it, just take the shots, then later check them through Gallery. Probably broken links between Camera and Gallery, cause of different Android versions.
Solution is to live with it, or flash restore zip from 1st post, until I try to fix it, but I can't promise a fix cause I'm not that skilled (yet)
BTW, what ROM are you using?

Will try something when I get home from work.
Thank you for the quick reply!
Before this mod was created I tried flashing the original camera file for 4.2.2 that this mod is based on...camera itself worked with some minor issues, however I did get a force close whenever I tried to view the pictures I had just taken in gallery.
One thing I noticed was it had more on screen options like ISO etc, it also had the ability to make the capture bottons transparent.
Was that original file Viper Cam? If not I'm just curious if maybe those options broke when the mod was created.
Regardless, I love this mod. Thank you very much!!!!

Those options you mention are from Viper Camera. I could ask @Turge, @j to the 4n and @hansbert about using their Cam, if there is interest. Well, I just kinda asked them, mentioning their names here.

I'll try, but I can't promise anything, as I don't use GE ROMs and I'm not a developer, just sharing something that worked for me.
If they would allow the use of it that would be amazing! As long as it is based on the new-er build like this one.
I haven't ever used viper Rom nor have I used the cam from it.. so I'm still confused as to how I was able to have the extra settings.... :-\

[Q] How to troubleshoot depth sensor ?

Guys I ve just got a used HTC ONE M8 and i was not aware of the features and functions of the phone. But after going through the reviews I came across duo effects but couldn't use it In my phone . Is there any way to troubleshoot the depth sensor or even check whether it's working or not so that even I can enjoy the benefits.
Can anyone please help me..??

Check out the below article, explains the functions and features.
What is it you're trying to do exactly and what happens?
http://www.htc.com/uk/support/htc-one-m8/howto/473767.html
Actually it is just saying that "duo effects is unavailable for this image"
For every image I take.
I know what are the procedure to take photos for duo effects so thr is no problem in that.
Duo effects are not compatible with manual camera settings. Its likely that you changed some minor & inconspicuous thing that's preventing you from applying duo effects.
Try the following:
- Clear the camera app settings.
- Make sure you don't change any setting, not even the flash.
- Make sure your fingers aren't blocking the depth sensor, and that its clean from greese (a simple wipe will do)
- Test drive the camera and the gallery for duo effects.
Cheers

We're still not ruling out the software side. So, next step: clear data + cache for Gallery, since its responsible for using the depth sensor data to apply effects. Then, when that fails, you still have the tedious task of hard resetting. Then its either a bad rom flash or hardware fault

What about resetting the camera app settings to default?
The option is on the settings menu when in the camera app itself. Do that then just open the camera and take a normal photo without changing any settings and try editing it from the gallery app.
These options need to be set so that duo effects can be used:
Scene Auto
Flash Off
Filters None
Aspect ratio Wide 16:9
Zooming Zoom slider should be at the minimum zoom level.
Continuous shooting Not supported

you're not alone,i too am having this problem after updating the gallery app from the play store..If I take photos i get the duo effects unavailable for this image..If I roll back the gallery update to default by uninstalling the updates i can add the effects to the picture i took so the duo sensor is working..But when I install the updates back to the gallery app no new photos can work with duo effects..
Did you get this resolved? If so,how?

I got mine fixed just now. I had done everything previously as suggested without luck.
I had to go in to setup then apps then the gallery. I cleared cache and uninstalled updates. My gut feeling is that it was a gallery update that broke it.
Good luck,

Well yeah that works but you're missing out on any of the latest features and rolled your gallery back to stock from March or April. There have been features added between then and now.. Such as the slider for uFocus

You're right. I'm new to this phone from the M7. I just switched carriers. I re-installed the gallery update and the Duo functions still work. I'm not sure what happened to my phone before then but it seems good now.
It's only a little over a week old.

After Samsung update today, Gcam stopped working????

Hi,
For some reason, got an update from samsung this morning, latest One UI 2.5.
After updating my Gcam stopped working, tried several different apps but
still stops and closes when opened. Any ideas???
Ken
That's a little concerning. Can you download Camera2 API Probe from the Play store and see if the camera still supports RAW capture?
Also try this specific gcam to see if it works for you https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/NGCam_7.4.104-v1.4_snapcam.apk

Samsung must have done something in the 2.5 update to OneUi that caused it for me.

Lol clearing data for the app should get it working again. Bigger question though is do you remember which options you changed that broke it?

So I tried Hypercam. When I switched to the telephoto it completed crashed. Wipe data and got everything back. Front-facing camera just hangs.
I spent a good amount of time yesterday trying different GCam versions. Some partially worked, namely some HyperCam versions and TrCamera versions. Couldn't seem to get the front camera working on any versions, however. No matter what RAW and Viewfinder format I chose, the front camera would either hang, or cause the app to crash. I rooted through as many settings as I could think to change around to get the front camera working, but nothing was working for me. So I would imagine that the versions that are closing immediately may have some sort of front camera configuration that is now not playing nice after the 2.5 update.
Definitely very strange, hoping a dev can nail this down, because I have been trying to use Samsung's camera app and, boy it's just not comparable to GCam, especially the front camera.

That's actually very helpful. Can you guys download the Camera API2 Probe app and post screenshots of what it says for Camera ID 1 and ID 3? This is mine for my Camera ID 1 on the older build.

I have attached the camera info.
It looks like the front facing camera is not giving RAW.
Also since I didn't mention it previously I am using a Snapdragon USA unlocked S20

Looks like both those IDs on the update don't allow RAW capture. That must be part of the problem. Do you know if it is fixable?

Thanks guys. Super useful info. I don't know if it's fixable but I'm passing the info to the gcam testing group that I'm in so hopefully one of the devs will see and know what to do about it.

It received it in April patch. But its still buggy. Slimsang was able to port it from another device which works really well

When you hold your finger on an element in a picture, it lifts?

Yes it works quite good
It works perfectly on my S21FE global snapdragon version (G990B) after installing the April update. Attached a video for your clear understanding.
Which model and software update version do you have? Maybe it is not released in your model/ region yet?

G990U1/DS
One UI 5.1
April 1, 2023
Attached is what happens when I hold my finger on an image in the gallery app.
@Shuhan44 Can you share the link of past updates that your model received? I'd like to see if image clipper is mentioned there, as by me it isn't.

There is nothing mentioned about the image clipper feature on the update page. Update link:
Notify Update
To my understanding, it might also be related to the gallery version or the photo editor version... My phone has Gallery app version 14.1.03.1 and Photo Editor version 3.2.23.43. Do you have the same?

I have 14.1.01.7 (which on my phone says it's the latest), and 3.2.23.43.
Update:
The May update brought the image clipper.
