[Q] TP configurations for camera apps - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

From reading this forum, good work is being put in to achieving a well functioning camera on TouchPad with Android. But on which TP configurations do some camera apps currently work okay?
I am using TP with JB 4.1.2 by Oat and stock camera as suggested by Sstar (post #118 in the thread for this ROM in the TP Development forum). Thanks to both. The stock camera can take photos. Video works in Skype. But the stock camera messes up video recordings and the camera does not work in stop-motion apps, which is my biggest issue. I tried three stop-motion apps and they could not detect the camera or showed a black screen.
Any suggestions of configurations well suited for camera apps?

If you tell me or give me a link for the app or apps you're having a problem with I will have a play and try it with the JB+ camera that I bought to see if that makes a difference .
Regards

Pardon my delayed followup. Apps tested:
Stop-Motion Lite
Stop Motion Maker Komaori Lite
Lapse It Lite
Any help much appreciated...

[Q] Problem with 3rd party camera apps: Preview image is turned by 90 degrees

Hi community,
I've got a strange problem with most of the 3rd party camera apps on my Ace (GT-S5830i)
When using the default camera app everything worls just fine but when trying to use a different one like camera 360 or Pro HDR camera the preview image is turned by 90 degrees and the image looks somewhat stretched. The results look normal though (if I manage to turn the camera the right way around).
So the question is, has anyone else had the same Problem? Is there a solve for this?
Custom ROMs are no option because there are no working ones for the GT-S5830 with the I behind ;-)
One thing I just recognized: The Apps barcode scanner and barcoo are working properly.
Yes, i have the same problem, my celphone is the s5830m, this phone have a lots of problems, the games 3d dont work in this model. Sorry for my english
Me too
Same here GT-S5830C... some1 can help us?? Maybe is some secret configuration.. lol :cyclops:

[Q] Videorecording ParanoidAndroid v1.1d

Hello Members,
one week ago i got a Galaxy S I9000.
I flashed ParanoidAndroid v1.1.d with the newest Devil Kernel (Devil3_0.79_i9000_CFS_BLN_VC_20120618.zip)
Very nice rom by the way
But unfortunaly iam not able to record videos. I changed nothing with the free ram space, so i think thats not the problem?
With the stock rom it was possible to record. Tried semaphore but without success..
Could not find another app for video recording and i dont know how to change recording resolution settings??. ... any suggestions?
Thanks for your Help in advance

Yes you are right PA ROM has some issues with the camera. In tablet mode once you switch to front camera the switch camera button doesn't work.
Video recording works fine with other apps but not in 720p.
In the Development Site of PA i read nothing about cameraproblems...
With Skype e.g. its working fine... but i dont know on which resolution.
Do you have a hint for a different app for recording videos? It hasn't to be high res.
I found nothing in the market...

CM9 Camera not work fine, but the rom is RC?, another way to use other camera app

Hi!
I have one question.
I tested CyanogenMOD 9 RC1 by maclaw ROM, but the camera app still not totally works.
I tried with others camera apps and this apps gave crash error.
Exist another way to can to use the camera with more functions??
I guess the RC version is a near final version is a release candidate, so I think that the camera should work a little better, or otherwise should still be in Beta.
Exist another way to use a camera with apps like instagram, hdr camera etc??
Sorry for my english.
Greetings
Well..
The camera works only for taking pictures.
Without them open max drivers, we can't get video recording.
I was browsing the forums. and there are a number of ics roms for other devices.
They don't have video camera but they are RC.
Try any fingersoft camera app, i've heard they work.
same here. camera not work at all i try install other camera apps, still not work

[HELP] Video camera issues with CM11

Hi,
I have an HTC Vivid running albinoman887's CM11 4/24/14 nightly, and the 4/26a PA GApps. Everything seems to run smoothly except for the fact that the latest Google Camera update force closes, so I cannot use that app at all to take pictures or shoot video. I haven't yet found a way to revert to the older version so on a side note if someone can point me to that APK I'd be greatly appreciative.
At any rate, other camera apps like A Better Camera and CameraMX do a great job of taking still photos, but neither one will invoke the video recording function. I have updated to the latest nightly of both CM11 and PA GApps, and the reason why I'm on the older versions is because the newer builds caused problems, so I clean flashed back to the older ones.
I downloaded a couple of diagnostic apps and neither one seems to indicate the presence of video recording function. I don't know if that's normal for those apps or if there's some damaged hardware involved. I don't want to go all the way back to stock to test that theory, so if anyone has had any similar problems or has some insight to offer, I'd really appreciate it. The lack of video recording is not a backbreaker for me, but it's one of those minor annoyances that I absolutely hate - kind of like a wart. TIA for any help you can offer.

Yeah, I had the same problem with video on the older nightlies. I am now on 5/7 build and video works great using any of several different cameras.

Question Anyone found any 3rd party camera apps working fully?

I've tried a whole bunch of camera apps and so far the stock app is the only one that seems to be able to access 60fps recording. Every camera2 probe app I've tried reports 30fps as the max reported speed the device can use which makes me think Oppo have locked out any other apps from accessing it.
Another possibility I'm wondering is if it's not actually true 60fps at all - and it's actually using frame interpolation at 30fps to create the 60fps - although it does seem more natural playing back the recordings and doesn't seem to have the slightly "unreal" look that interpolation usually gives.
There also seems to be no way to select any other camera besides one of the main cameras on the back and the selfie camera on the front when using 3rd party apps.
It just seems a bit of a f-you to have them tout the camera setup as a main selling point of the device while at the same time locking out other apps from using basic recording features like 60fps and making no mention of it. 3rd party apps also exist to provide additional tweaks and features that the stock one lacks and I was disappointed to find Filmic Pro and Open Camera can't access 60fps and has trouble with the shutter speed to stop the zebra stripes/banding in some lighting scenarios.
Have you tried porting Google camera? I just downloaded a modded port and can record at 4k 60fps. Looks Pretty good also.

Hey any chance of a link to the one you are using?
I have tried a few different apks and the only one that would actually install (or open) is the Camera PX v.8.1.008.341125824.
It suffers from zebra striping indoors and outdoors, pressing on "slo-mo" force closes the app, captures of both pics and video are fairly noisy or grainy, 4k mode force closes as soon as I switch the option and it doesn't have an option I can see to choose framerate.
Definitely would like to try a fully working one.

I used this one, although a bit of searching around and I found a couple of others I will try as well.
Greatness GCam APKs - Google Camera Port
Modified Google Camera app By Greatness.

Here you can enable bottons for the different lenses. Be aware to use the alternative fix as the app crashes otherwise.
I didn't figure out how to use the stream configs though
