[Q] Best camera fix for Neo in MIUI v2 (2.4.20) - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hey! I'm using MIUI v2 because I feel that ICS is slow compared, plus it doesn't really seem to have any "must have" features. Anyway, that's besides the point of this thread.
I'm using Miui 2.4.20 from MaxWork's MIUI thread and everything works fine except the camera. Well it works okay, but very often it likes to go black and I have to restart it. Like switching between back/front camera will almost every time make the screen go black and i have to exit the cam. Many other non-miui camera apps doesn't really function that well either.
When I installed it, the camera didn't work at all (Said "Can't connect to camera" when I tried) so i searched for miui gb camera fix neo and installed it and that made it work like it does now, but I would love to have it work completely like if I was using the original Sony GB rom. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Best MIUI ROM?

Man, I remember the days before the unlocked bootloader, when one of the best MIUI ROMs was Trip's. Poor dude got banned and all. Anyways, so now, there are like ten different MIUI ROMs on XDA. My question is, which is the best one? I'm talking in terms of stability. I don't play games, I just want a ROM where every default app works. A stable, fast ROM that isn't meant for gaming, but for things like video viewing, messaging and MSN and Skype.
My bootloader is unlocked, so I'm taking suggestions on MIUI ROMs that require an unlocked bootloader (even though most of them do anyway).
Thanks.
I'm currently using this one:

Try it
Trip is at Modaco btw, but his development for x10 is not anymore what was before cause he switched on Sensation.
I feel all the MIUI roms are similar with the same bugs still there. so, you can try anyone of them which is available on XDA. I am using TripnRaver Beta and it is available in modaco forums. Almost everything is working fine including screen on and off animation! So give atry!
Yeah, but this is fully working GB MIUI rom.
Except there is no GTalk on it, but I fixed that too
I'm using Prime Unleashed, Installed it about three days ago, so far I'm liking it, it has working wifi and usb hotspot, barcode scanner, no data bug, the only thing that doesn't work is the built-in screenshot app (you can use any other from the market) and the theme preview app doesn't show a preview of all your themes but you can still use themes... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295089
A1exander's M1U1 1.10.21 V8. The first MIUI I used and no issues yet. The only thing I miss in MIUI is the menu and timescape.
I am using Oodie's Miui,the only thing which hurts is, it consumes RAM very fast becomes laggy after some hours,but just reboot once n all will be fine again!

[Q] MIUI - camera error

Anybody else have issues w/ the Camera in Stock MIUI Rom? From the Camera, when I click on the thumbnail (bottom left) to go to Gallery, it takes a while to load (white screen until then) and when I go back to Camera, it often gives an error 'Can't connect to camera' and dies
I've been running MIUI for a few days now and I'm a heavy user of everything in the UI.
I had a few problems with the camera at first, now I don't for some reason. Used to be slow showing gallery from camera app like you stated, I re flashed it twice because the new version came out with the CM7 camera but I didn't like it so I flashed back to the MIUI v3 without the CM7 camera.
I've had less problems with the entire rom in general since I uninstalled setcpu and didn't OC the phone. It's still crazy fast and now I don't have as many issues, used to freeze like 2-3 times a day and I had to reboot the phone because of it. Now that doesn't happen since I uninstalled the OC stuff.

Thanks strange. I don't have SetCPU. May be I'll try to reflash the rom. Overall I like this. Is the look and feel for this rom specific to the 2.3.7 or has MIUI customized the settings menu, etc
Anybody else has issues w/ MIUI stock camera .. please advise

[Q] Fastest/smoothest CM7 ROM

Hello,
i am currently using wolf's v7 b4(i think)..and after some time it became very slow. Specially if i also listen to music it's very very unresponsive.(probably it has a little to do also with the fact that i'm using GO Launcher EX)
I would like to try CM7 as it's the smoothest. FXP047 seems to be perfect except one BIG BUG: Video recording.
i would like a stable/fast CM7 rom. Sometimes i also use video and in this case fxp047 isn't suitable as my daily rom.
so: what it's the fastest most stable CM7 rom with full working camera?
are the other CM7 ROMS much slower/less stable than FXP047?
What are the differences between others CM7 ROMS(ThGo2 for example or maybe ZMOD) and FXP's one. i mean at features/speed/quality of tweaks..
if you suggest MIUI(i don't like the iphone like feel and the lack of app drawer)
Thank you in advance!
I used Spaarc's CM7 mod but got rid of it because of the low battery life. It's very fast and doesn't lag often. The camera worked but I'm not sure about the video recording because I didn't use it. The wifi and tethering didn't work through the phone itself but there are apps that compensated for it. I recommend Spaarc's CM7 but I would like to know if there is another just as good that doesn't have the battery drain like it did.
thanks, but the rom in the link you gave me is not working'[ROM][DEV] Spaarc back Cyanogenmod 7.1 ROM | 2.3.7 | Released'
I think you made a confusion. Spaarc made another older CM7 ROM and i think that's what you're talking about: "{X10}[ROM][AOSP-2.3.7]SpartaMod RC0 |ON ROM MANAGER !!!!!!!| 2.3.7 | v0.0.1 | [12/10]", but it has the video bug
'Known Issues :
Video Encoder crashes'
any other suggestions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384147
this rom is very smooth and great i love it. the camcoder works too. i think that this is the best cm7 rom.
(sorry for my bad english)
I also think that Oodies ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384147 is the fastest, but I get FC when using ROM Manager(I know that is mentioned) or using Facebook for Android.
that's the one i'm gonna try today.
about rom manager i don't care so much, but for facebook have you tried to fix permissions?
Yes, but it didn't work, going to report when I hit 10 Posts. And it is Reboot not FC^^ I mistake it.
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
i already reported as i tested the ROM. Same bugs for me
and no autofocus in video mode
..and that's all in few hours. Very fast ROM
Later edit: oodie already posted a fix for facebook.everything working perfect now!

Google Now with CM9

Hi everyone,
I am coming from Viper and trying out CM9 for the first time. I just flashed CyanogenMod 9 Unofficial Build and wanted to see if I could flash the fully working Google Now on it?
I tried other CM9's in the mega thread but I seem to like this one the best.
Also, I am not liking the camera app on the CM9 ROMS. Its like 2/3 of the screen is taken up but the shoot button. Is there any other camera app I can flash. I REALLY liked the sense camera app, any way to get that?
Thanks....
Using one of the ArmV7 versions in the Google Now Project thread in the Android Apps section should work fine, make a back up first just in case.
You can't get the Sense camera on AOSP, but you can use third party cameras in the Play Store.

[Q] AOSP Based Rom, Camera & Official Kitkat for i9300

Hey there guys .
Well i was using AOSP Based roms for a long long time,
untill i figured out taking pictures was really ... a huge thing to me.
I feel like theres no rom that can handle camera as good as TouchWiz based roms.
So i switched to Android Revolution (4.3) with a S5 Theme which looks kinda neat and works pretty decent -
BUT ITS NOT AOSP which i love so much ...
I was using Temasek's builds for ages and i kinda miss that feeling having a nexus experience on my phone.
I would love to know if theres a solution for it...
a good AOSP (4.4+) with a good camera who does not crash. ("Cannot connect to camera") ?
any news about getting official kitkat update for i9300 and hope that CM will work on it ?
So please if anyone knows what im going through just guide me.
Thanks alot.
No one ? \:
have you thought about dual-booting ?

I used the SlimKat rom for some time and I solved the camera crashes with a file in this forum. If you go to the section called "Themes and Apps" you will find a post with a tutorial on how to fix these camera crashes on AOSP roms.

Ive never tried dual boot before but im trying to think about situations like'
"me walking down the street, running CM on my phone .. suddenly BAMN! a flying cow. i gotta take a quick responsive HD footage of it" ( some 1080p video running on 30fps steady... y'know.. without that cm lag")
so that ain't an option i guess.

To be honest, I did not take many photos with the camera, but the ones I took were okay I guess (I'm no expert so I can't tell you if they are or not better than the ones you can take with the Samsung camera app).
Regarding the video recording, I'm afraid it's worse than the one on Samsung app, because it randomly starts focusing somewhere else and you have to refocus by tapping the screen. And forget about recording anything with the front camera as you could only make SD videos with pretty bad quality.
There's no camera like the Samsung one but this is the closest you can be to that on an AOSP rom.
Hope it helped.

There may be any aosp rom with good camera handle. I used temasek but camera ?! I think it used to crash. Now I am using FuisonSP but getting freeze/restart and camera crash.
I suggest you to try some other camera apps. Google and find some of the bests

Ive found some good camera apps (Camera FV-5) - which crashes alot on AOSP.
but there is no recording app as good as TW's.
Well why don't you try to sign samsung camera apk and put it at /system/app it would work will or u can use camera 360 which is a good app i think..
