ICS Video camera - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Quick question - now that the photo camera on ICS for Desire Z is mostly working, would it be hard to get it to make movies?
I have no idea how hard this is to do. Just asking

You'd have to write the code.

I am not a developer, but I am certain that, yes, this is a very hard thing to do and I really haven't read anything about progress in this regard, since zbuw came up with the initial workaround to get the camera partially working.
The main problem still seems to be that, so much code has changed in ICS that we basically need new drivers from htc or qualcomm in order to get it fully working. I expect that we won't see full camera functionality until a leak comes up from which we can extract the drivers (I don't know enough about the similarities of other devices, hardware-wise, to guess on how likely this is.

yes, thats right

is the camera video mode working at all in Andromadus v10?
I can't find that information and can't post yet in their topic (noob here).

That's normally fair game but you're replying to someone who can't even post in the dev section yet, don't make him download backup wipe flash discover it isn't working then restore.. no, to the best of my knowledge (having just tested it and seen it reported elsewhere) recording does not work at this time (unless some wild development has happened in the past couple days).

thanks. I will give that a shot. I kinda need video recording working from time to time, so it will be painful running ROM without it ... is that true that none of ICS ROMs have the video camera working (just pic taking)?

From everything I have read either here or CM, what I believe they are waiting on is drivers from either HTC or Qualcom to further develop the camera. I believe they have it working somewhat. I am NOT a dev by any stretch just passing along what I have read.
Hope this helps

Yes this is true, and even picture taking is iffy at best (you have to install third party app and most people can only take non-buggy pictures at VGA (really low) quality)
If you need video recording AT ALL do not use ICS yet.

thanks guys, those statements change the ground. in fact I will wait a little longer until those drivers get released and developers can fix camera issues.
I use camera for pics often and videos occasionally, so I wouldn't like a phone like that at all.
also, what does it mean that GPS is "kinda" working now (Andromadus v10), it's broken or not?
I use Google Navigation frequently whenever I get lost or traveling to current closest (unknown) chain store location and such ... and I kinda rely on that ... I guess I need to wait for a beta ROM, alphas are not for me yet.

ok, anyways.. i have been pouring over smali files for days, trying different files in lib,bin and from looking at the log, my current guess is that the issue lies with the recording of audio when you hit record, which it runs into an error when it tries and crashes the apk.. i dont know if thats correct and im not sure what needs to be done to fix it, but thats why we have a dev thread for eh?

well, that isnt something i believe that can be done at the moment, but i do believe it is possible and from what i have read its mostly a kernel issue, seeing as how wp7 can do it on our hardware and thats all software..

i think people are more likely to be using the camera so if we get a camera,it will be a big breakthrough and then the camcorder will probably come after you figured out the camera,keep up the hard work
Keep up the good work ! And this thread deserves to be in the stickies !
Finally, I'm glad to see that you've taken the initiative to get this moving. Can this also apply to the currently non-working camera that appears in the new Gingerbread Sense build by iMilka (and for other future builds)?

well, who knows, what i would like to see is people posting logs from alogcat at the time the try to run the camera (if it fc's as soon as you open it) or when they hit record (if it fc's there)
i dont know what the issue is with the gb camera (does it fc on open?)
but i wouldn't mind if this say, became the thread where we work out camera issues on all builds
and if enough people posted log snippets, just maybe we can find a commonality and that would head us in the right direction..
as it stands im figuring that the issue lies in the kernel or the libs, with the kernel looking more likely, im figuring it needs updated code to be compatible with the newer cameras and more then likely if we can get the newer camera working here, then the gb camera would also..
logcat
here i have attached the logcat. this is my first time. so im not sure if ok. i have started the logcat and then i click the camera then it did soft reset and reboot i close the logcat.

what camera apk is this and what rom?
and do this when you post these, look at the time on your watch or computer when you hit record and mention that. as long as its set the same as your device (your pc should have its clocked auto synced just like your phone so its times should match). this way there wont be a need to do a bunch of fishing for the error in the log.. oh, and set your log type to long under alogcat preferences..
edit: ok i see this is the gingerbread rom..
and wow lots of permission errors and a java failed binder transaction then all your services die..
and another odd, it seems to be connecting to htc database servers to check for updates..

Sooo.. for ex. I have frankinstein droid 1.5 rom, when i hit record it doesn't work, and i must reboot my hd2.
What i wanna install ?

ok - not to be a **** or anything but this begs the question:
Why do you WANT blur on your phone? Everyone i know with a blurred motorola phone struggles to make it blurless and wants to remove that crap as much as possible - it is a serious detriment to performance and battery life.

yea im aware of the many issues, i still have alot of work left with this rom, about landscape mode it should be working just fine even with the keyboard out, also the browser im not sure as i havent fixed wifi so i cant use the internet on the rom. And yes i figured gps was not working again iv got no internet so i have no way of fixing that, i need wifi for that XD. anyways im glad you guys like it.

Because this version of blur is different from the others and better, and well because we on the g2 forums deserve variety, other than the 3 classic roms, sense,cm7 or miui. And no i dont think this rom will drain that much battery or affect performance, our gpu's beats the crap out of the omap that the droids have.
Also found that when calling someone it will restart the phone and it will keep you on the call till the os finishes reloading.

i'm guessing this is based on the Droid X GB leak - the blur is different than the blur on 2.2? My girlfriend was running stock 2.2 on the DX and getitng like 12 hrs of battery life. Then running Liberty 2.1 (blurless 2.2 based) she was getting 24 hours +. I flashed her over to the Liberty GB alphas (has a lot of blur in it) and have yet to see how the batt life is.
What i do know is that if you look @ running services (on the DX Liberty GB) and use an app like autostarts to see the on startup apps - blur has a whole ton of blur stuff that runs in the background from startup on - unrelated to ui changes and widgets.
What i fail to understand is not manufacturer ui (which differentiates) but why it has to be baked in so deep into the OS and kernel that it makes it impossible to remove if - god forbid - you want a more stock experience.
I have a lot of respect for any dev who brings more variety and software choice for our phones and i dont mean to undermine his work. I guess i just get pissed that companies like motorola make it so hard to go stock (particularly mess with that damned bootloader) that they would rather u ruin your device (i soft bricked my gf's droid x once and the only way to get back to stock is a complete SBF flash - a rare turn of events that i've never had the displeasure of running into on an HTC phone).
On a related note to this ROM, i noticed on Liberty GB (but not on Liberty 2.x) you can remove stuff from the notification area because there is a minus button (ie you dont have to clear all notifications or click on the notification itself to clear it - there is a button that enables its removal). Is this part of blur? I'd love to see this ported to AOSP.

[TRACKER] Netflix on CM7 - Summary, plus bug tracker

Hi everyone,
I though it'd be helpful to at least attempt to centralize the discussion on this, since everything's a little spread out. To summarize what I think we know so far:
1) Netflix streaming DOES NOT WORK on our G2 when running CM7-stable.
2) Netflix streaming DOES work on a G2 running stock 2.2.
3) Netflix streaming DOES work on a G2 running CM7-RC2.
4) Netflix streaming DOES work on other devices running CM7-stable.
5) Netflix streaming DOES work on UNSUPPORTED devices running CM7-stable, such as the Nook Color, when the build.prop is spoofed to replicate OUR PHONE.
Given the above facts, I thought it would be appropriate to submit this to bug tracker. If you think it deserves it, you can star the issue here - http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3723. I also think that if possible, further discussion should happen within this specific topic (or some other centralized one), so that people aren't out of luck by not happening to find the one topic in a dozen where progress was made.
I played a video using my nook, then tried with the G2, and collected logs via DDMS. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to filter just for errors or not, so I didn't - these are the raw log files, attached here.
EDIT - I had to save the G2 log in word, because it was too big of a .txt file.
hmm.. i tried Netflix on my G2 lastnight after reverting to CM7 RC2 and had the same problem. I'll try again tonight though, this time i'll uninstall the app, clear cache and flash CM7 RC2 and then reinstall app
I thought I read somewhere that people were saying it DOES work on the leaked T-Mobile Gingerbread build for G2. So it's something directly related to CM7 itself. I'm running nightly 74 and it does not work.

I've actually tried it on the leaked Gingerbread ROM and it didn't work there either. It did however give me a blank white screen instead of a black screen though. I have gotten it to work on my G2 on both stock 2.2 and CM6. I also have a Defy running CM7 (not a stable build) and it works perfectly on it. It's got to be some combination of Gingerbread and the G2.

Been stated by people in the know (not me), that it's not a build/identifying issue. It's a rom issue. The rom developer will have to re-work the rom.

Well, might be, but just sounds odd that people are using the g2 build.prop to get Netflix working on other devices not even supported by Netflix yet. I'm not saying its the build.prop and certainly sounds like a ROM issue but that just strikes me as odd.

I have DDMS open while I run the app and try to play something, and just note where the app starts and stops by watching then export the relevant parts.
It's too long for either of those file type, but .docx is the default from word, if you can't open it on your laptop then I bet google docs could do it if you save then upload it.

After comparing the logs of my N1 and G2, it seems as if the G2 cyanogen build does not have the drm. When the G2 Netflix app goes to check OMXCORE it returns drm_play not available, whereas the N1 checks out fine and get a bunch of OMXCORE checks.
Also if I'm not mistaken, the G2 (and many other phones) does not officially have gingerbread yet so it only makes sense that 2.2 is the prereq for all the non-nexus phones.
So it would make sense for it to work on other devices that had the DRM, if you just simply changed the build.prop id's
I posted this elsewhere, but I thought it would be useful to put it here to. The Dropbox link is a .txt, btw.
In regards to the problems we have been having with netflix, I have a logcat. This was obtained with Catlog, and was recording from the time I started the app to when I was returned to the menu after the movie crashes. Its a Dropbox link, here ya go: http://db.tt/vPp12DT
There is one thing in there that worries me, and I think its what's causing the error. This error right here:

I don't know why, but does anyone noticed that here on XDA is ICS rom for HTC Desire that has everything working properly (at least for me)???
HTC DESIRE-AOKP-milestone 6 by pratheek1992 is best one I tried.
You can find him here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867046.
Camera and camcorder WORKS
This is my 'configuration':
HTC Desire (Bravo) PVT-4 SLCD
HBOOT: Stock Alpharev Hboot
Recovery: 4Ext Recovery.
SD: Transcend 8 GB Class 6 ( I took 512 MB EXT3 Partition)
After I flashed rom, I picked Touchwiz launcher and set all necessary things about google account.
I tried apps, (first camera and camcorder) and they work very well. This rom is still under development, but i'm impressed that we're having everything functional.
P.S. Thank You pratheek1992!
EDIT: I used Mount2SD script with Aroma Installer, I have choosen Apps and Dalvik to Ext, untick Safe Mode.
Sandvold's ICS looks like feature complete and working too...
... though I still don't have enough courage to install any ICS ROM on my main and only Desire, sticking with gb custom rom

Yes it does, but built in camcorder and videoplayback not working (truth is that they work with 3rd apps).
In this AOKP rom built-in ICS camcorder works. Maybe video playback is a little bit laggy, but works better than Sandvold's.
I'm greateful to Sandvold, his rom is amazing, but these "little" features were important to me for choosing ICS rom.
Don't know why I'm still replying, but I couldn't resist:

I mean that everything what coming with this rom is working. I tried every single app. Flashed Mount2SD, flashed Gapps, flashed G Now and everything working. And videoplayback is correct.
Why are you angry? I haven't lied in any aspect. When I said everything, I thought everything what is important for normal using of phone even for advanced user.
Try it and then comment on my post.

Not angry, just disappointed, reassured and amused at the same time for that inconsistency.

You didn't try it.
If you did, then finally tell me (us) what is not working? And on which ICS rom is camcorder and video playback works with built-in ICS apps??
Oh come on....please be polite and stop comment my post. Maybe some other people will find it helpful. I only wanted to say that features that dev's couldn't solve for a long time are now pretty much solved.

Pretty much - far from totally...
And if you can't stand that somebody comments your posts then go out and find a different place to play...

Yes far from totally (720p). I told him not to comment because he didn't try rom but he knows everything about it. I'm sorryif I was rude.
It seems that nothing can be shared without someone's bad critics.

All critics are good.
You don't need to jump from 10th floor to know that you're gonna die.
My suggestion to you, search Desire thread a little bit (especially Q&A section) and see how many problems ICS/JB caused lately then start praising around. People here are, hopely, mature and don't need anybody to praise them and make them gods, especially recognised developers.

It's not about any recognised developer, this is not any praising. It's objective feedback of using someone's rom, This feedback could help someone. And please, who are you to lecture me?? This is about rom, not about me or you. Neither you tried it and you're telling me about it.
I was talking about the latest version of Sandvold's package.
Do not know but Sandvold declares what's working, i.e.:
- Full hwa
- Camera+preview+panorama + video working
- HW accelration
- Video streaming and playback
... you tried it and found any bug? Report it, please... as I would like to know it (and reconsider my decision about using that package in the future).

Sandvold wrote that more than 6 month ago. Camera works. HWA works. Video recording and video playback not working (FCs or disorted or artefacts on screen). It can be fixed by using some 3rd part programs. For example: for video recording you can use program Video Illusion from Store and for video playback you can use MX Player also from Store. In AOKP this working properly.
Developers are planning to solve problem with camcorder and playback with porting Kernel 3.0, but it seems that this is (more than partially)solved by AOKP ported rom which I mentioned in first post.
MIUIv4 with miui gb camera (THIS ONE ONLY!) can record videos without funny weird output and also have HWA.

Thanks for the sugestion, I'm using Sandvoid 0.18.1. I'll try out those apps to fix the video problems. The rest of this Rom is perfect for me

[Q] JB rom with working camera and video?

Ok, i already anticipate replies based on "use the damn search", ...please do us all a favor and don't clutter the thread with that kind of posts, try to max your posts number somewhere else :silly:
Anyhow, atm i have tried to install few JB roms on my HTC Desire GSM, the latest i have installed is JellyNow(btw: battery friendly), but still the same problems remain, the damn camera works but not so stable, often results in soft restart and when watching video as well(sometimes)
Is there a stable JB rom with camera and video working?
Please reply with posts where you can speak from your own experience, everything else is without arguments.
Thank you all in advance

Simple answer is NO.
There are Nikez and VJ's CM10.1, but the camera and video are choppy and tearing.

yup, i have stumbled upon this one a week or two ago, but i have read somewhere that its development has come to STOP, apparently lack of developers in their team....i am not sure if this is correct information.
Although i might give it a go, to see how it goes...all i need is daily driver, i am not that active user, because JellyNow can hold 2days, but it isn't usable any more, sometimes i cant answer a phone-call, because when ringing screen doesn't respond as it should, just showing incoming call, then it needs up to 5sec to start reacting....wierd.
Anyhow i am still in a hunt for a fine balanced rom....the problem is i am now addicted to JB stuff, beacuse it almost has it all i need within OS, so need for installing additional apps is minimum.
Tnx
I'm using jelly time and the camera and video work perfectly fine...I've been using this ROM for a good 3 months now...I will just add though that for some reason I can't find the camera now to use it lol but I think I disabled it cuz I never use it and would always accidentally open it....
I'm using jelly time R29,
I hope this helps you!
HTC Desire HD, Jellytime R29
