Camera not shooting in widescreen after CM 10.1 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

After experiencing a boot loop with an old CM nightly, I flashed the 2/26 nightly. As some of you know, this had a problem with auto-rotate. After flashing the 3/1 nightly. the auto rotate is fixed, but one issue i've noticed with the camera is there's no option for a widescreen image. I just have options for 8MP photos, 3MP photos & VGA.
Any ideas?

There's a new nightly every single day man. Chances are whatever issue you have could be fixed within the next one. These are bleeding edge. You're gonna have bugs.

Does anyone else have an intelligent response to the OP?
I'm using the CM 10.1 M3 build on my SGS3, but while I'm really pleased overall with this version of the ROM, the camera software is a downgrade from the original Samsung ROM and the omission of any widescreen modes is an epic fail in my eyes.
Anyone know if it's possible to change only the camera software without changing the entire rom, and if so any recommended mods?

Hey Mr. Epic Fail, Phalanx's response was correct. Try posting in the SGS3 forum, since that is what you stated you are using. Calling someone's response unintelligent makes you look like a troll.

Seeing as the ROMs for SG S2 & S3 are nearly identical, it shouldn't matter. But thanks for your useless contribution.
Still looking for an actual helpful response if anyone has one.

It's not about entitlement, it's about hoping for an intelligent response with hopefully an answer or suggestion to the OP question.
The fact remains the OP question was about a ROM feature, and as CM 10.1 features are nearly, if not identical across different hardware, it shouldn't matter that I have a newer model Galaxy. The fact you do not have the same device in this case is irrelevant as the OP's question is ROM feature NOT hardware dependent.
I found this thread using the search and found it had the exact same question I had, on the exact same ROM, so I was looking for any helpful contributions here as well as the GS3 and CM 10.1 specific forums.
Your sense of entitlement and elitism to not wanting/allowing non-GS2 owners post in this forum is what's disgusting.

While I agree that different devices can and often do introduce different results with a similar ROM, I completely disagree that it's offside for me to be curious of a possible solution, which is then at MY discretion whether or not I wish to follow that solution on my hardware.
Again, the OP has a question about a ROM (software!) specific feature, of which I have the same question, just on newer hardware (but same ROM)

Wow, I concede. You win. CM10.1 on GS2 is completely different than CM10.1 on GS3, especially the 4.2.2 camera app, and I had no business thinking that a solution to the OP's question would be helpful to me because I have totally different hardware.
I'm an idiot. Thank you for your 3-4 completely useless contributions to the OP, but at least you were able to successfully police this thread and set me straight! Whew!

And we're already aware the ****rocket got an ICS leak that was useless to us. Thus this thread is useless because it's redundant - the OP is yet another person who broke the XDA rules and posted without searching. The ****rocket ICS leak has already been discussed numerous times in other threads, it is NOT news and does NOT justify creating yet another new thread so that you can get "omg I have my own thread on XDA!!!" cred.
We're about a week out of kernel sources, and we already have ICS in a better state than that leak. The only things that remain are polishing and NFC, and the polishing part would be required even if we'd gotten official ICS at the same time as the I9100 - it simply takes time to do a proper kernel on a new source base for a completely new Android base.
NFC may require an official I777 ICS release, or maybe just a bit of hacking to get the M250S/K stuff working on I777. If I can get the M250 stuff working on I777, there's a good chance I can get it working on CM9 at that point too.
Redundant thread is redundant.
Closed thread is closed.

Is ics almost here?

I just went to check whether an update is released (I was bored) and It said "an update is available for your phone, but the servers are busy." What do you guys think this means? There's a thread on this for the skyrocket too...

This thread is useful for two reasons.
1. Samsung hasn't officially released a date yet and there really hasn't been a word on a Google search as to whether or not ICS has been released for the AT&T Galaxy S2.
2. Not everyone prefers the modified versions of the ROM, and though there is bloat on the AT&T versions, not everyone's incredibly satisfied with the custom ROM's (I am personally, but yeah, not everyone's down for the custom ROM's).
3. If the official ICS did come out, it can provide something or another to make the current custom ROM's better, such as the ability to get Google Wallet (or ISIS) working, for example.
I appreciate that this is a forum for developers, but that still doesn't allow us to flame every new thread that comes on here that's not created by one of the elite or something or another >.>

Dude. When ICS hits it hits. And if u can't find anything on Google about ics release dates or possible release dates u aren't searching right. Either way when it does drop u go right ahead and flash that buggy bloated OS. I'll stick with my AOKP.
Edit: I sound like a douche in this post. So no more arguing. Hope we get official ics too sometime soon. But odds are I won't flash it anyway ;-p

Oh you're right about this being a developers forum but you're completely wrong about the assumptions that only "elite" members can post. You're about as wrong as humanly possible. We only yell at people for threads like these because it does NOT help any developer in any way and this question gets asked over and over again all in separate threads which bog down the forums an leave less room for the more legitimate questions/ posts. And once you've been on here a while you usually know when you should post a thread or when you shouldn't. I've created a total of 2 threads and only one of them was a thread asking a question (the other was for a pair of cm7 themes) and I made sure it hadn't been asked before. Understand a little better?

I am with you on how this i777 should behave and tone down but you list 3 reasons that I think useless, or should I say "non-productive", here's why
1. If you google/search and find nothing, you MUST think, I mean automatically think, that it is either NOT NOW or NEVER happen. Just like when you search a word and it isn't in the dictionary, you should automatically know that the word is not exist or not being defined yet.
2. custom ROM is for who love to flash, if ones don't want to flash, why would they come here in first place? Moreover, if AT&T decide to release their OFFICIAL ICS for this i777, the owners would get the update automatically, right? Then why stop here anyway
3. If the official ICS did come out? if so, then search/google in step one already yield some results.

SHOstock2 ICS or SuperNexus JB?

I'm getting a GS3 and giving my GS2 to my gf. While I prefer the customization options of AOKP it isn't as stable as some of the other ROMS. I want her to have a great experience with a rom that will be stable and not so buggy. I've used SHOstock2 before and found it to be quite stable. But I'd like some opinions of those that have used both SHOstock2 and SuperNexus JB. Is the JB rom very stable or a bit buggier since it's newer? What has been your experience?
Thanks in advance. ^_^

Both SHOstock2 and Task's AOKP ICS are ROCK.
I haven't tried any JB firmware yet but don't expect the "bug-free" stage. Stable? they should be.
I read the rules so I'm within my rights to post a thread like this. If the mods don't like these types of posts they can simply use this opportunity to adjust the forum rules. I have no issues with that. But I've read and double read them and I'm not violating the forum rules. Where does it say keep all opinions to yourself and don't ask or give an opinion to others?
And I'm not trying to sound rude or inconsiderate here I'm just being factual and objective regarding the subject. I very much appreciate the hard work and diligence the developers put into their projects but if rom A is buggier or less stable than rom B its not an issue of "show respect to everyone" if someone else is simply stating their own experiences with that rom. I primarily use AOKP but even on the ICS builds there have been certain apps that cause a hard freeze guaranteed that never did when running SHOstock2. It's simply a statement of fact for me based on my experiences.

All the information u need about any rom u want to flash is found in its thread. And in the Op of each thread it tells u if anything major is busted. Along with screen shots normally. There is no reason u can't look in the threads to see what if anything is wrong with the rom and if its enjoyable to use. U can also PM users that are using the rom to see what problems they may have had. So all the info u need already exists. I could flash a rom and have no problems. Everything fits perfectly. You may flash it and think it sucks. I may have apps that don't require push notifications or maybe I don't use sync options. U might. This will affect battery life. So not only is there never a reason to start a thread like this. But even if u do your experience versus mine will be drastically different based on what we use how we use it and what we install. This topic has been beaten to DEATH. Flash the rom and try it for a day. Switch if u don't like it. Is there anyone here who can tell u what you'll like better than YOU?

I AM A MOD. Did you read my post above yours?
I don't want this to become a bigger issue than it already has. This thread wouldn't have "degraded" if the unconstructive posts were just left out.
I'm obviously not getting any help with this and anyone that would have wanted to post is scared aware by the previous negative posts. I agree with Venom that if you don't like a post or a topic, and you have nothing constructive to add to the post, you are not obligated to post in it. I'm still new to the forums and I'm only here to try and learn and help others with the knowledge that I acquire through my experiences and through the information that I read here at XDA.
I love getting feedback and constructive criticism because it can help expand my knowledge and I don't flame others or try to deride them for their questions or comments. When trying to help others or when posting on their threads please be mindful that we all began somewhere. At one point we all lacked the knowledge. We gain understanding by asking questions, reading, researching, and trying things out for ourselves.
Thank you and have a good day fine gentlemen. I'm going to pick up my GS3 and void its warranty now. =)
Ive ran supernexus very smooth and stable beside a bug or two. the dev for that rom said he may possibly be releasing a newer build today. So things should be extremely stable.
I forgot what this thread was about halfway through Page one lol I thought I was in xda rules and etiquette. I'd personally give a hand-me-down with the oldest, least likely to "waste my time fixing later" software. You'll be expected to handle whatever happens to it, undoubtedly.

Thanks for being unhelpful and not pointing me at that reading you mention. I have been reading what I can find for the last 2 months and thought i would just ask if there was a developer working on it so I could then go do more reading based on that information. I don't normally post questions to things I can easily find. Also this IS the Q+A section... Also Also I asked about CM 10.1 not CM 10 which is what I am currently running.
2 months of reading, and you haven't found any info about CM 10.1? That is odd considering that this subject has been discussed many many times in many threads. CM10.1 is not going to happen anytime soon.

Way to be a db about it. The QA section is full of questions that have been asked multiple times. I wasn't asking when CM10.1 was going to happen, just if a developer has taken it up yet. And show me this magical post that has my answer? I did multiple searches. I have been on the internet since you could only get it on a BBS and have been a systems admin for 10 years. I know how to search for things.

Well then good luck to you sir. Hope you find your answer .. No need to start calling names .. This ain't High School and I'm not getting into a flame war with you.
Have a good weekend.
I'll answer it,
Yes...
Devs are working on it, over at Cyanogenmod.
But no, we dont have it for the galaxy note 1, as we lack the source code to make a bootable build, mainly due to the lack of kernel source.
And until samsung is kind enough to give the code, then no 10.1 roms will exist for us.
I hope this helps, and yes, we all want to see 10.1, but the odds are not in our favor....g

Awesome thanks! I knew there was an issue with some devices as far are kernel source went. I will just keep waiting then

We don't have kernel source for JB 4.1, yet we have CM10. So what makes CM10.1 different?
I've seen a few phones that have CM10.1 that do not have JB 4.2 kernel source - ATT Samsung GS2 and HTC Inspire for starters. When I had an Inspire we had CM9 without ICS kernel source.

This has been addressed over and over...... To answer Yes there are a couple of people who are toying with porting CM10+ to the Note....... But that said, they have priorities in life and my guess this is down the list

[Q] Question on the state of G Note II Modding

Hey guys, I have had my VZW Note II for a few months now, and I tried to root/unlock it a few weeks back but ran into multiple issues that prevented me from completing the process (specifically the unlocking posed problems, no doubt because of my own mistakes).
My question is, what is the state of G Note II modding right now? I came from the GNex (rooted) and it had a very robust community, but it seems like the difficulty with unlocking this phone might lead to a less vibrant set of options for flashing. Is this phone getting a lot of dev attention or is it not worth the trouble to crack?
This is subjective, I know, but give me your opinions if you dont mind! Thanks in advance!
This isn't really a subjective question. There are two forums that could answer your question. Development and original development. Take a look and see what you think.
I will say if you compare anything to the options on a nexus device you'll be disappointed.

I have been shot down when I post questions in the dev threads, but do you think this is an acceptable post for them? I have no doubt that it will be less robust than Gnex, but I figured it might still be worth doing for cyan or AOKP or whatever. Anyways, thanks for the tip!

DO NOT POST YOUR QUESTION THERE! This is in the right place my point was go to them and look at the different ROMs. If it is good enough for you or the is a ROM you want to try then you answered your own question

There is no good answer to this. What is mainstream for one person is early-adopter for another. The right answer is to do some reading in the ROM/kernel threads and decide your own comfort level. That you asked this question makes me think you should wait. I would say that dev for this device is still gaining traction. It's only been out a couple of months.

There are half a dozen or so Touchwiz based ROMs and at least that many AOSP ROMs. Add in 4 or 5 kernels and considering the we only got the bootloader unlock about two months ago, I think development has been great. In all honestly, I am not sure how many more ways ROMs can be tweaked...there might be some diminishing utility after 10+ ROMs.
I got my phone about 10 days ago, and had it rooted/unlocked within a few hours. I didnt have any issues at all getting it there. I made sure not to accept the VZW OTA update, and when I saw it was going to force me to update within 5 days, that forced my hand to go ahead and root it.
I just used the following guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207 to root it, and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2043636 to unlock it.
If you have accepted the OTA update, your steps change, and you'll use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118348 to unlock it instead.
I personally havent messed with AOSP roms. Coming from GNex that was all I ran, and I'm enjoying a slick TouchWiz setup right now. I remember on my Droid Charge, having NO desire to keep TW, but it's a lot better on this phone.
I am a Charge refugee as well...what a difference the Note 2 is. I've run CleanRom and three builds of Beans. Don't think I want to give up some the the Touchwiz features for AOSP...at least until key lime pie comes out.
Ugh I hate these threads.
If you want it to be different stop being a little girl about it and go develop yourself. Nothing is stopping you but yourself.
If you want something that doesn't exist, make it exist or get an insane amount of money and back people to make it exist.

Do you feel better after that childish tantrum of a response? You hate these questions, yet you didn't actually respond to what I asked.
I am not a dev, nor do I want to be. I asked not as someone looking for features that don't exist, but as a user who wants to know how the note II compares to the gnex in terms of xda support.
Either answer the question I asked, or keep your whining to yourself.

I did answer your question. If you want more support for this device develop yourself for it. That is all there is too it. If everyone had your attitude we wouldnt have any one developing for this phone.

My attitude? You began your response by saying that you hate questions like mine, which is not the most civil of ways to speak to a stranger.
More importantly, you still missed my question. I asked if it was worth my time to unlock it, I did not complain about a lack of dev support. It was an honest question which you ignored and instead responded in a rude manner. Thanks for nothing, a second time.

I'm not sure what this guy did to launch you into that insanely now cliche rant. This is Q&A not a dev thread. The OP did not ask for an ETA or request a feature or compare one ROM to another, or ask a question that could have been answered with a search.
Many people admonished the OP, including me, but you are the only who felt the need to rip him a new one. You could have just linked him to the XDA rules instead of going off like you did If the OP needed a refresher.
Maybe Q&A is not the best sub-forum for you if you can't assume good intentions. You have your own threads that you can patrol for slights real and imagined.

Your question was not worded very well to say that since you wanted to compaire it to the gnex. A quick look in the development sections shows what is available. My previous points still stand. Always see these threads at least 2-3 times in the 6 months i own a phone that isnt a nexus.

Sorry I've been around long enough yo get frustrated by people on this site. I've also been saying the same things for months and linking to the XDA rules doesn't make people care, giving them harsh statements do.
If OP wanted his question answered he could have searched. Plenty of info is available.
My views have become, if you haven't searched and then are asking why or if you should do something, you shouldn't do it at all and shouldn't ask if you should.
Search first then ask questions.
If you want to compare the Gnex to the Note2 development, all you have to do is look in both forums and see how many ROM/athreads are in the dev sections. Weather you unlock or not has nothing to do with it. Do it or don't.
In answer to the original poster, yes it is worth unlocking.
The beans and cleanrom roms alone add enough polish to warrant it.
The ability to take a nandroid is worth it. Everyone backs up their computer..... so why not a tablet
There is a kernel or two? That work with stweaks for cpu/gpu power control. A forum member also put together some nice flash able profiles for it even. If you want to increase battery or performance it's possible.
Depending on where you are at, one of the two available basebands may work better for you. That can't be flashed without a recovery....
Because it came with a locked bootloader of the start, there seemed to be a delay with devs because they first had to figure out how to unlock it to begin development. Now that is unlocked the wheels seem to be moving pretty good.
On a side note, if I recall correctly there may be a way to run international roms on it. You would want to research, I haven't really looked into it. Could be wrong.

The original modem has faster 3g for me, but the new one has better connectivity and speed on 4g. I wish we had combined modems with ie. 3g from one modem and 4g from the other.
