[Q] [SHPONGLE] Why does a 3rd party camera work, but not the stock camera? - HTC One V

I have installed CameraMX, and Camera ICS on my Shpongle. I am wondering why these 3rd party apps work directly, but not the stock app?
I would appreciate some in depth answers, if possible.
Thanks,

Wait for the update ice ll provide one soon.

Thanks! I know there will be an update, I am not asking for ETAs or anything. Just a reason as to why apps from the market work.
Are the apps bundled with all possible drivers for all phone models or something?
Thanks.

i think he's referring to the stock AOSP camera

Video recording works with stock camera
Since 3rd party camera app Vignette can switch over to camcorder by using the stock one I was able to record video with the standard camera app. So I added a shortcut to my home screen with Camcorder Shortcut by Bryan Owens (no permissions needed!) and the stock camera app will record 720p video. \o/

Still no go on camera. Worked fine on CM7. What's the deal. Op of andromadus thread says it works

Camera is still work in progress, so you can expect some distorsions, glitches etc.
Try clearing camera data - settings/manage apps/all/...
This is still an alpha build, so it's not expected to be perfect. I still get weird distortions with the gapps v7 camera, although bar code scanner works perfectly.
It work better for me with the Camera360 app.
But not perfect yet...
Well when the list of working and not working shows as "camera(kind of)" I wouldn't expect it to be anything like cm7 considering when CM does release it will be CM9.

If you flash the Alpha10 and then you flash gapps your stock cam isn't the right one. Gapps have a Camera.apk. You can remove the CameraGoogle.apk from gapps zip before flash it or remove CameraGoogle.apk from /system/app/ and push the one in Alpha10's zip

I use FXcamera and it works well for me.
But no zoom inside this app...
Can anyone confirm this?
As written in developer forums for quattro or andromadus roms. Camcorder is still not working. Camera is working but still glitchy, and best solution to remove glitches is to set the camera to VGA resolution. yes for someone VGA resolution may be not the solution but, the camera in g2 is really not so good and if you want to take higher quality pictures i think it is better to use "real" camera not camera embed into phone.

and why to use zoom - our device is not supporting "real" zoom. just SW zoom, what means, software will crop, and then upsample the image from camera. This process will just make your "zoomed" pictures look much worser in the end of the process.

[Q] Google Now for HTC One X?

Recently Google has released Android 4.1 JB with Google Now feature. Can anyone port it to our device? I have been doing some searching through the 4rum and I can only find GNow for Aosp Roms. Thankz
Not yet. Someone has ported the apk and the voice part doesn't work yet due to jb dependencies. Needs to be recompiled for ics so maybe a few weeks at the least.

I've just tried to install it on my HOX (faux kernel, ARHD7.1), using install procedure and APK from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045
It installed just fine. Even opens (though no swipe from bottom to activate it (as expected) from widget.
But doesn't really work since it can't hear me - Immediately fails when pressing the mic button.
When going to config -> voice, it crashes.
But the real bummer is that it can't find the network! Well that's unexpected, since Android finds it just fine... Perhaps it uses a different 'channel', only available on JB? But then it wouldn't work on ICS AOSP...
update
Ok... It does find it (the network) just fine when searching using text input.
It only doesn't show the Google Now <badges/boards/panels>. Upon opening it gives a toast about the network. Upon clicking 'update', nothing happens.
So it's only a search replacement (with no voice)
But I want to use it for the Google Now features... I installed 4.1 on my GN and it's amazing I want that on my main HOX!
Looking for this too
My one x has been updated to JB, and i can't find Google Now feature...

Play Store 3.9.1.6, Gmail 4.2, camera 4.2, keyboard 4.2 , and clock

I am posting these because I keep seeing links go dead on to much leaked android 4.2.X stuff. None of these are from me at all, Just sharing what I find. I've seen androidpolice and other sites have to remove there links to some of these app's, so I am just posting what I got and will try to keep stuff up to date.
This guy: http://www.qbking77.com/index.html has a lot of videos on the changes in the new leaks. Also search his youtube vid's for instructions.
Google play store is cool because you can remove old app's you don't want any more on your app history etc.
Gmail,s biggest change is that you can pinch-pull to zoom in-out. And swipe to delete a conversation.
The new keyboard has better swipe and lots more to.
I think the new camera is bad to the bone! Do a google search and read up.
I hope ya'll like these, Just remember to use at your own risk
This is the new play store 3.9.1.6 : http://d-h.st/vSI Install like any apk but you have to have unknown sources selected in order to install anything from anywhere but play store.
New Gmail :http://d-h.st/6Uf, you have to use something like rom toolbox etc. to uninstall gmail. Then reboot and instll and your good to go.
This is both camera&keyboard together : http://d-h.st/tQE . Flash this in CWM orTWRP
This is camera only : http://d-h.st/Qd5
This is keyboard only : http://d-h.st/RWx
This is the clock: http://d-h.st/S4P <-I have not tried the clock yet!!!!
Links
You got the same links for play store and gmail they're both the play store :silly:
Thanks, I fixed it.
What is the clock?

Camera:
- Taking pictures is fine, really good quality both front and back
- Sometimes the exposure options don't apply
- 360 sphere panorama is BADASS
- Normal panorama is perf
- **Video recording is bad quality, and the playback is just static and never shows what you recorded**
Keyboard:
- Settings crash when you try to add your own word to dictionary
- Swiping method works perf
Gmail:
- Can't get it to delete my old gmail. Maybe its my ROM or something that doesn't let me mount as r/w, so I put it aside for now.
Play Store:
- Deleting uninstalled app history functions great.
- No bugs as of now everything works as it should

You can use apps like titaniam backup or rom toolbox to backup your data. Some roms don't like data to be restored though. Or you can back up your rom first and try a dirty flash,just wipe system and cash without factory reset depending on what rom you are trying.

Instagram Issue

Is anyone having issues with trying to load pictures from your gallery onto instagram? Where you try and upload it but the picture comes out black.. When I use the camera on the app itself it seems to work fine, but when I upload from gallery it is black. Seems to be like this on all Roms... So I assuming its the update on instagram? Any insight is appreciated.

I heard over in a development thread they said to use the stock camera instead of the "advanced instagram" camera. But after upgrading to 4.3 it went away completely, but I still use stock camera anyways.
I was having the same problem after upgrading to a ROM with JB 4.3. It went away when I updated to the next most recent nightly. Maybe it's a problem with some of the early 4.3 builds? Try upgrading to the newest nightly or downgrading to the most stable 4.2
Its not they all break for some reason. I'm sure its because of the 3.4 kernel. 3rd party camera apps seem to break. Don't know why or how. That's why use the stock camera.

hey guys, i just found an easy work around.
all you got to do is choose your image from the gallery, apply one of the instagram filters, hit next, then go back and choose the normal filter. it should work out well
Here's what fixed it for me:
1) Open Instagram
2) Go to Options
3) Go to Advanced Features
4) Uncheck "Use High-Quality Photo Processing"
Had the same problem with AOKP on Xperia V - changing that setting fixed it

Hmm, most likely a hardware or ROM issue, If not, Camera JB+ from the Play Store is exactly like the stock camera.
I can't promise that this will work for you, but I went into my phone system/app and deleted Camera 2 and Gallery 2 apks and ran the APK I have attached which includes the camera. And my camera is working perfectly now.
I installed that apk but when I go into the settings if forecloses I want to use the the power or volume button as a physical camera button if there is a way for that work

honestly CM team need to rework their camera from the ground app to the UI, (THE ONLY THING I HATE ABOUT CM roms) so either go back to a 4.1.2 touchwiz rom or upgrade to 4.3 also with stock touchwiz
am sure there are camera apps that can replace cm's camera in the Play Store :laugh:

Hi
I have the i9300 with CM11 - 20131206. My pictures are OK, but I want to store the pictures on external SD-Card. The camera on CM 11 cannot do this. I have tried the Camera ICS, because the Camera JB+ is not for free. The ICS should also can store on SD-Card, but I don't have this option in the camera settings. I don't want to buy the JB+, when I'm not sure, that it will work with this option. Can anybody help me, please?

Friedrich
hi. i just installed JB+ camera from 4shared, and it's working very well, but there is still no option to save the pics on sd card.
