Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem using my phone as a dashcam when driving. I've tried a couple of apps thoroughly which makes me think the problem is a hardware issue, not the apps.
Basically, I want to use a fairly high resolution with the sound off (both apps have this feature) but that causes the camera to pause for 1-2 seconds every few seconds. Turning the sound on fixes it, but that's not ideal. At really low resolutions it works okay, but the quality is quite poor.
Are there any apps/tweaks etc that can improve this do you think? Has anyone got the Ace working well as a dashcam? THanks for any help, I've spent ages trying different settings etc.
U tried LenovoSuperCamera? It has lot of options and it makes quite nice shots. The only problem is in video-recording cuz its only recording in 720p, if its ok for u then give it a try. I'll send u a link if ill find it. (there is a special modded version on xda)

Thanks, I'll take a look. Is it just the first result on XDA when you Google it? Says it's for S4, but it works on Ace 2? Or is there another version?

I'll take a look, thanks. Sounds good. Will this affect other apps using the camera? For example, will a dashcam app use Lenovo or will it just use the actual hardware?
Ask in the lenovo thread. All what i know about this app is that im using it and it works good.

You know i been wondering... the camera application in our phone is after all a program that runs just like any other program in our phone right? thus being said... with all these applications made for the dash why has anyone yet to make an upgrade for the camera app? even tho the application is set to manufactures default settings so was the T-Mobile rom settings, but people were able to upgrade roms so why is it that we cant upgrade the camera app? maybe there is someone smart enough out there to think of this app. i mean all in all it would be nice to have some extra effects options or a brightness option you know... something to that effect would be a cool thing to have.
There are many Camera applications, I personally use the "stock" camera in conjunction with Cool Camera

yeah its kinda screwed up this app... maybe if you provide the settings you have set on your phone that way i can try to set the same thing on mine and then see if it will work or maybe you can guide me to a website that has more then one camera app on it that way i have a few apps to choose from cause you mentioned there was more then one. thanks so much.
Hi,
I tried searching the forum for any application or tweak that allows you to use the front facing camera. I am looking at mostly taking pictures.
I had a nec 616v and it was for video calling as well.
However, i could use the front facing camera, it really looked cool.
I was just wondering, if anyone know, about an application that can do the same thing for my touch HD.

The same player, but maybe this one isnt buggy... I will give it a try.
Edit: I just tried it for few seconds and it seems to be free of bugs, but it still eats lot between 20-30mb of ram. The jumpertest app also gets installed but I don't know for what it could be useful

Just tested, mine crash too :/ (DocRom 9.5)
Edit : even after a reboot.
Also, moving into the song is a little bit buggy (sometime can't move backward or forward twice, screen doesn't respond), not a big deal.
Anyway, thanks for the hint nanu_x2, first impressions : look very nice!
The player seems to work fine, apart from audio skipping when trying to run in background.
I am on latest docrom js5, using wp7 theme on 200dpi.
Also running latest speedmod with all audio enhancements on.
Still buggy on JS5 doc rom I tried to open it twice and it had an instant FC. I could open it on the third try...
Maybe we need aome new lib files..

Same for me on my JS5 deodexed.
I'm on Doc JS5 and the player is very smooth, no problems so far.
I just hope that the final version comes with a couple of more features.

The title of this thread should be changed, its not working perfectly

Audio seems to be a little stuttery when doing something else at the same time.

Does any one know if cm7 is gonna make a better camera apk or a video one thats the only thing that bugs me i love cm7 battery life and all the extra features just sucks that you cant use all the EVO Eye candy camera and vid cause the camera on cm7 kinda makes your phone feel like a 5 dollar web cam. I love the stock cam and vid. Hope someone has some info and what do you all think about it? I love using my camera.
The camera will come around. Right now cm7 is technically still a beta so not everything is going to be 100%. So just hold out for a little while, it will get better

Does your camera make a lil clicky sound after you snap a photo or two off?
I PMd you, you can set it to widescreen in the settings, go to frame and click on fullscreen. There's tons of settings to try. Unfortunately it doesn't do video :/

yes,but i don't see anything change
could anyone share the zip please?i get 404 error and i want to try something
Please download from this link
https://www.box.com/s/artgh60kcgcvh78f5t7s
As already mentioned, I don't find any improvement with the camera, namely focus!
edit: The mod was not installed by CWM, I had to do it manually.
Please note that this zip file must be installed with TWRP, if you have CWM installer it won't work and you need to install the media_profiles.xml file manually.
Installed this as well but don't know if I see any difference or not
