Re: camera-ui2 [icon designer needed] [developer needed] (updated 27.03.) (source included)
 

My experience is the same as Nicolai's - works for me, tho it surely can lag quite a bit. Nicolai, has the circle spot focus feature of fcam disappeared for you?

Re: camera-ui2 [icon designer needed] [developer needed] (updated 27.03.) (source included)
 

Yes, I heard this is a Qt-Bug.

Re: camera-ui2 [icon designer needed] [developer needed] (updated 27.03.) (source included)
 

Has anyone noticed that when recording video using camera-ui2 in CSSU that if the recording is longer then the set sleep time the screen will blank? I would have thought that when in record mode the camera-ui would tell the phone to stay away. Perhaps I flubbed a configuration option.

I'll return to lurking and wait for 14.5 to come out.

Re: camera-ui2 (no a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

Just in case you think, there isn't any further
development:
This camera-ui is now part of the CSSU.
Bug fixes and new features are in the git-repository
https://gitorious.org/community-ssu/camera-ui
You can wait for the next CSSU update or take the binary
from the first post.
As the UI uses new icons, you have to copy those manually,
it is described in the first post
(only needed if you don't want to wait for the new CSSU,
the camera-ui package from the CSSU will install the icons for you)

bugfixes and features from the lates version at
(by MohammadAG and me)
https://gitorious.org/community-ssu/camera-ui:

* Use camera key to close preview window.
* Check if what gnomevfs returns is NULL, otherwise the app segfaults.
* Disable display blanking while recording video.
* add sound effects (focus done, capture, start recording)
* moved focus distance label to upper right corner
* shorter autofocus delay (changed from 1 sec to 0.5 sec)
* reset recording timer when recording stops

Now missing I believe. Thanks as always.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

@Nicolai
Has anyone reported this bug related to the camera-Ui2 yet?

When recording video, pressing "pause" and then "stop" freeze the camera apps and it still seems to be stuck on "pause" mode.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

:eek:

Re: camera-ui2 (no a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

Nicolai, any chance of putting back the link to the binary, either as a reply or preferably in the first post?

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

Ups!

I had overseen the upload didn't work (I can not upload a
.tgz file but .tar.gz works)

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

Hello.
Are there any difference in how ISO is handled.
I find that Camera-ui2 is taking much darker pictures with ISO 100-400 compair to stock-ui.

Stock ISO 100

How can this be?

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

@toxaris

Thank you for this comparison.
I have never seen that differences.
I'lll make some tests on my own, maybe I can
reproduce this. I think the lightning condition are
crucial here.
What strikes me is, all stock camera pictures have the same
exposure time.
Whereas camera-ui2 pictures have different exposure times.
Are all pictures made with the flashlight?

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

I already posted this information to CSSU thread, but I would not be surprised if you missed it.
Just reporting that video recording started lagging big time after installing CSSU. Lagging can be noticed when recording and also when the video is played.
Somenone else reported this also on the thread.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

Yes all is with flash.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

That is how ISO works. Less ISO means more light is needed to the same brightness. Like on a sunny day when all your pictures get burned in or you want to take picture of the clouds in the sky, you make pictures with less ISO. On the other hand when you are in a dark room, but do not want to use flash, or the room is too big for the flash to do any good, you take up ISO. This will also make your pictures more noisy, but that is the price you pay.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

Don't know if this was mentioned but........
I have some universal car holder and don't use that much but a couple of days ago I was going on a trip and I needed navigation. But my universal holder press the camera button and that starts the camera. The same was with stock but stock had the "X" button so I could close it but now I have to keep the lens cover open in order that camera actually starts and then I have "X" and I can close it.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

@kinggo
Thank you for reporting this, I never tested what would happen
when you press and hold the capture button while the
lenscover is closed :-)
There is an option in the camera-ui menu (general settings)
where you can disable that the camera-ui starts when the
focus button is pressed. But I am not sure if this is working
in the version which is included in the CSSU, when you
press and hold the focus button.
But the latest version here should work correctly. Take the latest
version, disable the camera-ui start option. Then the
camera-ui shouldn't start, even when you hold the capture button.

More changes in the latest version (see the first post):

* fixed: remaining recording time isn't updated while recording
* fixed: recording doesn't stop automatically when now more space left
on device
* fixed: image capture / video recording starts even when lenscover is closed
* add information banner when no more space left on device

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

Thanks for the regular updates nicolai :)
Can you make the fullscreen/not fullscreen mode permanant ?
i.e. if I leave the camera-ui not in fullscreen and reboot, the camera-ui should be still not in fullscreen, like the stock one.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

What!
I didn't know this is a feature of the stock camera-ui. I thought
it always opens in fullscreen mode.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

May I ask how to install the binary? I tried dpkg -i wi the unzipped camera-ui but it didn't work.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

tar xvzf will untar the file and then just copy it over to /usr/bin

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

To be honest I'm a little unsure about the stock one but I think that it would be a better behaviour.
Can someone verify the behaviour of the stock camera-ui ?
If the stock one isn't like that, maybe make the full screen policy configurable (via the settings)

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

Hi nicolai, i translated some things in your camera ui, in italian couse i m italian. Dont get mad about ite ;) i did it couse i have an italian phone and i love to translate all the apps, i share YOUR bin file here and i post the screenshots bout what i made ;) thanks again for your super app. Please don't get mad becouse me, and prob more italian people like me love to have it in italian.. It was (i know its still in testing and devel..) half and half (en/it).. In the future, do you think to use the MO files of the Osso-Camera-UI or do you wanna leave it in en? I tried to use the mo file but it doesnt work editing it.. I used an hex editor

by the way, if u'll tell me to remove it i'll remove it ;) it's your work not mine ;) and i'll not get mad

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

@nicolai:
Do you think showing whole remaining capacity is god? If you have empty emmc then the number of possible taken pictures becomes really hight (see attachment), maybe it should show a ">999" instead.

Attachment 19803

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

Yea, but the strange thing is that there is a differense between Stock and ui2.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

I guess stock UI compensates on shutter-speed.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

WTF?
Are you kidding me?
This isn't a good italian translation! Did you use google translate? lol

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

no i used my italian... by the way i respected the spaces between the letters if u can do better ;) i'll wait for that ;) thx

try to do something by yourself respecting spaces (in hex) and sense.. ;) :D i'm waiting your version here..

te lo spiego in italiano: ho cercato ti attenermi al massimo su significato e su lunghezza dei caratteri in quanto non è un MO ma è l'ELF stesso che ho editato con un HEX. anche se cambio spazi, parola e/o aggiungo laddove mancava qualcosa credimi che va in crash e devi riflashare il firmware. Ho fatto il possibile da stamane alle 2 fino a prima.. Se riesci a fare di meglio beh buon per tutta la comunità italiana..

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

@santiago
Yes, MO files is the way to go. I just have to find the
time to set it up.

Nicolai

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

if u need a help for the translation of the MO file ;) i'm here, the italian that i posted over there is right, bu i respected the hex lenght becouse it crashes if i dont. Explain that to mister Auron

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

You're kidding. You changed the labels by hand editing the hex ? Geez.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

Really?
"Apri in analogica vece", "Esci in copertura lente"...."Apri da disgiuntore focus"???

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

Is there any way to remove the red photo/video recording LED, without installing livefocus.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 01.05)
 

No, that is not how ISO works. Any camera without manual exposure controls will automatically adjust exposure time or aperture so that the images will look just as bright, no matter what ISO is used.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

Yes i did it using a notepad that's since i respected the lenght of the single words. Was not possible for me adding more spaces, removing more spaces, changing the words lenght. I tried to do that removing a space for a new character, but it doesnt work it crashes and u gotta reflash back the N900 couse the binary (camera ui) is loaded during the bootup of the OS. there was not way to be next respecting the lenght and the characters. This is why some things wrote in the general settings and translated, are a little bit "different" but u gotta keep the sense..

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

Reflash?! Geez, killall -9 camera-ui would have been enough...

I beg your pardon, thats how compacts work. It's not settled in stone...

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

doesnt work like that ;) i did it several times

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

@santiago
Just in case this happens again.
set no-lifeguard-reset with the flasher utility:
flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset
This will prevent the reboot loop.
Then, fix the camera-ui binary and after that remove the flag:
flasher-3.5 --disable-rd-mode --clear-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset

@jd4200
Possible, but not implemented yet.

Re: camera-ui2 (now a part of CSSU) (updated 03. May)
 

First of all, very good work and many many thanks to Nicolai. New features in camera-ui are really worthy. It looks more and more like an advanced camera for picture taking and video recording.
About this latter aspect, video recording, I have a question. I've read many pages in this thread but has not found anything about an issue I'm just suffering, even after reflashing: the issue is that, while I am recording video, the phone goes to power/energy save mode after 30 seconds and, of course, screen disappears becoming black. After that point, I don't know what I'm recording until I activate screen again. Somehow annoying.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
