I'm currently running liquidsmooth 2.9 on my rooted gs3 and although it is an amazing rom, I am unable to record videos on snapchat. I know this is something quite minor but I felt the need to ask anyway. Is this something common with custom roms or just liquidsmooth? or perhaps the camera drivers are disliked by snapchat. Anything I can do to fix it?
Any feedback would be much appreciated
Thank you!

Nope I gave up eventually
I will probably try a different rom. But liquidsmoooth was a great one for sure!
i just found a fix, this is caused because your video camera is set to a higher quiality that snapchat cant support that is 720p. just go to camera, change to videk, go to video settings and change video quality to 480p and thats it.

Since I can't ask in the Dev Forum:
Just a heads up for any videophiles who are thinking about flashing this rom, 720p high profile support seems to be gone from the stock player in this version of TW.
Personally I can't really see much difference between baseline and high profile, so I'll take the lag free forum typing, still kind of a bummer though.

^Also noticed that.
Additionally diceplayer will no longer play smoothly.
Eveything else is 100% better except video playback. Odd.
Any easy way to remove some of the stock apps?

Can anyone confirm that?
It would be a deal breaker for me if Video playback with Diceplayer (since no alternative is available) would stop working smoothly.
(I'm talking about this new Rom: [ ROM ][ 7-27 ] HMJ37.UEKM7 with TouchWiz for the GT-P7510)
Couldn't you flash this, test and depending on the results, flash something else?
Sure, I've done a nandroid backup anyway. Just asking first, maybe someone else tried it already. Would save me (and others) some trouble.
Well, I've had a good look around now and can't find a thing on this so maybe some one can help.
I was at a Rammstein gig the other night and managed to get some awesome video footage.
The only thing that let me down was the auto focus constantly in and out... when it sticks with it..its cristal clear...
looked through the settings, nothing. would be happy with touch to focus, like when taking a pic.
Any thing I can do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
I don't see a way of changing focus on video recording on the stock app, but you can use lgCamera (lgCamcorder) which will let you set fixed focus.

Shame, have taken a look at lgcamera before. Don't think its as nice as the stock.
May I ask why?

Why what? Why Samsung didn't include it in the stock camera app? I think only they know the answer.

No, not why didn't they include it (god only knows why not)
More why can't we "tweak" the apk?
If you turn off full hd 1080p video recording (only use 720p) it doesn't focus in and out like that, and the quality is still very clear
Finaly a workable solution!

Thank you, wasn't aware of this
Will prob use it from now on. Doesn't seem to focus at all. True test will be testing with flashing lights.
Still, no one has managed to answer why we can't mod it?
Hi,
Ok, strange title, I admit, bit it describes exactly what problems I am encountering.
My camera app is working fine, but I cannot use camera related apps. I didn't try a lot of apps but the main 2 I want to use (or 1 of both) are Dailyroads Voyager and Autoguard. I want to use my camera as a dashcam. Unfortunately, recording video in these apps won't work. I've tried different options in terms of quality, codecs, resolution, framerates, bitrates,... nothing works. I've also had lengthy mails with the Dailyroads developer, sending him logs. All to no avail.
The standard camera app works flawlessly. I can make vids and pictures no problem at all, 8MP stills and 1080p video. When I flash the photosphere app, it works as expected. Spheres and stills work, for video the sound works but picture is distorted. Which is, as I said, as expected. I've read numerous accounts of the video recording not working.
The strange thing is this only happens on certain ROMs. I've tried Resurrection Remix, and that worked. I then switched to JellyBam (couple of months) where it didn't work. Now in the last couple of days, I tried TurkbeyRom, and hollt [email protected], it worked! However, TurkbeyRom hurts my eyes. Menus are just too 'busy' (can't think of the proper word). So then I switched to SuperNexus since 2 days. Excellent ROM. It improved my battery life with about 1/3rd. But unfortunately, both Dailyroads and Autoguard don't work.
Is there anyone who can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Nobody?
Just to add clarification: The apps work, I can go through settings etc, but from the moment I hit the record button, the image freezes and recording fails.
I'm still having this issue. Anyone?

Well i guess it's rom related, because i am using CM 10.1 and a few games aren't working (Dungeons Hunter 4 and other games), but they work on stock rom and some other roms.

I'm afraid it is rom related, but maybe someone knows a fix? It's a bit strange I think that some roms have this problem and others don't. Even stranger is that I can't seem to find anyone else with problems relating to apps using the camra.
I don't know if anyone faced this problem.
But on my Galaxy S3 i9300, the camera works super fine except on snapchat, only when recording. When I record, it only records to the quarter of the length, which means only 2 seconds.
I have tried Omega ROM which is based on stock 4.3 JB and it worked well. All the kitkat ROMs are based either AOSP or AOKP and I only had the problem with those, the stock touchwiz (4.3 JB) worked fine.
I am downloading the AOSB rom but it's based on CM11 which is based on AOSP I guess? But, I hope it fixes the problem..
If anyone knows any KitKat stock ROMs for Galaxy s3, please list them and I hope they're great.
Thanks in advance :]

Had a dream about this... Try going to camera app and go to video setting, in the recording setting change the video to a lower one. Then go to Snapchat and see if that works. Mine was at 1080p and when I changed it to 720p it started working amazing. Try setting it lower if that doesn't work for you. Mine was only recording for 1 second and would stop, after this I can record the full length allowed now. Let us know if this works for you!!

Hi there, this is my first post but I'm not new to the world of custom ROMs.
I have had many ROMs over the years and have recently flashed the slimsaber 4.4.4 v9 with dorimanx 3.14.
All seems to be well apart from a few minor issues that are not of any concern. That is apart from YouTube! My favourite app. It will no longer allow my to select anything greater than 360p. Kind of annoying. I have tried many things to fix this. Like flashing the ROM again. Adjusting DPI to 200. Even used xposed installer. And I can't figure it out.
It was working fine on my previous ROM (jb. I went back to stock ROM) I have not reflashed since the problem but might try as a last resort.
Please can someone help with this. I have read many forums that date back a few years relating to this issue and have tried suggested fixes.
Why is this happening? Could it be a hardware problem?
Thanks
Mark

Hi
I suppose you searched already in slimsaber 4.4.4 thread for you tube problems? I saw several posts concerning this matter.
Does you tube properly work when using Browser (test not only with stock Browser but others like Dolphin).

Thanks for quick response.
YouTube only plays audio on stock browser. On dolphin it works the same as the app.
I'll check the threads again.
Are there any video drivers that can be installed. Is there a way of formatting that will rectify it? Any one have any suggestions?
@elemenopy
I don't quite get what the point is. I think our device's screen resolution is only 360p, right? So it doesn't make sense to try bigger resolutions in YouTube, as you will see no difference. Someone correct me if this is wrong.
As far as i know screen resolution is 480 x 800 pixels

Hi,
You can't install any video drivers onto the ROM as the correct ones are provided by the kernel.
If you really want higher than 360p, try using this modded youtube app:
[MOD] YouTube 4.4.11 (v5b), *1080p* / 720p HD (over WiFi & 3G), screen off playback
Please note that the screen resolution is 480p, but youtube only defaults to 360p.
Note: Dev-host link is a bit dodgy because one of the download buttons seem to be an ad. The correct download button is safe and I've used it on my S2.

Yeah, forgive my ignorance on that part. I'm back on stock 4.1.2 and YouTube only allows 360p. However, I guess the reason why I was hunting for this 'fix' was due to a pixelated image on YouTube when on the slimsaber rom. Also the stock browser would not play video image only audio. This has now gone back to normal now that I'm on jb.
