Instagram Video Bug

well as a vine nut you can imagine how thrilled i was instagram announced its new update would allow video.
well i have tested 12 roms so far and only found 2 roms that work with the camera. i will list my own findings and hope others will so i can find the best rom for me.
all roms based on 4.1.2 seem fine. all roms based on 4.2.2 seem to have a generic rear video recording problem
1. neatrom - works fine but looks too much like stock rom for my liking
2. resurection remix 3.1.3 official- works fine but crashed on me 3 times in an hour so gave up on it
3. slimbean - works but the screen flickers green so you cant see what your recording but the output is fine
4. avatar rom - works but the screen flickers green so you cant see what your recording but the output is fine
5. thinkbridge - works but the screen flickers green so you cant see what your recording but the output is fine
6. paranoid android official 3.40 - wont record at all
7. paranoid android unnoficial 3.60 - wont record at all
8. wanamlite - wont record at all
9. revolt - rom wouldnt said setup stopped responding. tried twice and wiped dalvik and fixed permissions still same so gave up
10. xenonhd - wont record at all
*edit*
11. P.A.C True All in 1 ROM[14/06][V23] - the usual green screen again
12. Resurrection Remix ROM V4.0.2 NEW SEASON - the usual green screen
13. GT-I9100 Vanilla RootBox [27/06][v4.1] - usual green screen
cant remember other 2 as i got rid of the files. by far my favourite 2 roms where
1. slimbean - loved the dpi - amount of icons per page - halo. everything was great except camera lol
2. thinkbridge - halo - 4.2.2
so if anyone knows of a camera fix or a way to alter the built in camera or a rom based on 4.2.2 with halo that is known to work with instagram video i would be eternaly grateful
lol dear oh dear. i finaly got it sorted with
[APP] [FIXED] S4 Google Edition 4.3 Camera and Gallery (with working photosphere)
this replaced my stock camera and low and behold it worked with instagram. also the photosphere worked good time
UNTIL
i find that there is now a bug in vine that i dont think will be sorted aarrgghhhh!!!!!
Hey guys,
I am the Android engineer responsible for the video playback and recording components on the Vine for Android app. We noticed that there is a bug on a rooted 4.2.2 ROM (mostly S2, prob CM related) that it did not implement one of the camera method (specifically, onPreviewFrame, the data returns null when using image buffering) that we are relying on to work properly. Just want to let you guys know what the problem is.
Best,

i dont think cm team will change itself for the sake of 1 app and i dont think vine will update itself what it considers a small user base. oh well i really am stuck on 4.1.2 lol
oh well happy hunting

Enviado desde mi GT-I9100

its as i feared. its both their faults.
Problem is:
Video recorded on high resolution of 768xsome thing...
but video preview streaming is in 640x480 window! > APP BUG!
so video with higher resolution cant be displayed correctly.
now WHY it's working with JB STOCK kernel???
simple! it's recording on 640x480 as ROM/Kernel not allow higher...
our drivers and ROM code allow, but APP cant show the record streaming.
So when APP Dev will correct the preview streaming window to higher resolution.
problem will be solved!
i cant fix that, sorry.

instagram doesnt support a modified higher resolution and is unlikely to add the resolution as the hacked user base is too small
CM10 could add support by either an option to reduce resolution during install etc but is unlikely to as its a lot of work for a single app
as a workaround [APP] [FIXED] S4 Google Edition 4.3 Camera and Gallery (with working photosphere) works for instagram but vine wont work untill CM10.1 changes. i dont think thats going to happen and most 4.2.2 custom roms use CM10.1 as its core base

exactly like me ... the CM is very beautiful and fast, but these bugs really make me stick to NeatROM Lite. I also have bugs with the Spotify app (online music). And most of all: the stock keyboard from 4.1.2 is muuuuuuuuch better than AOSP.

[ROM][AOSP][Hermes] AOSP V1.56 by Vova.Vafin

This ROM was made by Vova. It's the base of android 5.0.2. Very smoothing. (Big thanks to Vova !! )
As I know, this ROM includes of Miravision & Clearmotion, which are not included in current CM12.1 ROM.
Here is the link https://yadi.sk/d/_WxM8YOCmC2jd

Vova's ROM is good - but, unfortunately, even he has not been able to fix the bluetooth car phone problem.

You're right. I have installed it 15min ago and am going back to MIUI for the same reason.
I have not been able to find a CM or AOSP ROM without this problem

I agree with the sentiment, I have rotated around AOSP, AICP, Cyanogen and MIUI ROMs trying to find the best compromise/.
Conclusion: Custom ROMs will never be acceptable because of lack of released driver source code.
So peel back as many layers of the onion (MIUI) as you can to get closer to the underlying AOSP while still enjoying the benefits of factory drivers.

Why did I use AOSP ROM, especially for this one? Because it contains miravision&clearmotion. Regarding of BT in car, I won't use it so less impact on me. Another one its camera is pretty powerful comparing to MIUI stock one.

Are you serious? Which Aosp Rom and which Camera are you using? The AOSP Roms I tried had poor camera apps. I liked the MIUI Stock Cam better.

Nice work

Thanks for sharing and keep updated
I always tend to revert to miui because aosp and cm cant get its performance due to no sources....camera is worse too
But I think this rom worth a try
Edit: just installed, looks really great
only Im gonna need app settings to change dpi, it´s awful like stock in my opinion xD But no problem

Yes, I noticed that.
This ROM was updated so frequently. That means developer really pays attention to maintain this ROM. Great !

i use vova's aosp since v1.52, little thing i can say about this rom based on my daily usage are:
- no crash/random reboot so far
- better battery vs stock miui
- very clean (yes it's kind of lonely, just put all of your fav apps there!)
- since it is aosp, you might missing some features, so i installed xposed framework > gravitybox to enable something like clear all in recent
- camera app is very very good compared to other custom rom, fast capture too! just enable "zero shutter delay" in setting and you are ready to slam your shutter button :good: , beautification works very well, and the latest update HDR is working already. video recording 720p 120fps, 1080p 30fps
- for LED notification, i use Lightflow, it works well. some settings for Lightflow: 1) move it to system apps so system won't kill it. 2) enable root mode in Lightflow setting (i don't know if it works with root mode disable, but since i rooted this rom, i just enable it anyway). the problem is every updates you need to move it again to system app and set all your notification settings again, so i suggest you to backup its settings so you can simply restore it later :good:
- clearmotion + miravision :highfive:
- radio fm and bluetooth i cannot comment because i don't use it for my daily drive

patch v1.61
I'm running on v1.61. Overall it's good. But i can access the develepor setting
because the setting get force closed when i tap "about phone". Vova vavin has fixed it and he had upload the new link in needrom. But if it possible, i want the patch only, so i dont need to download the room again. Can anyone help?

bluetooth works fine with my sony nwz-ws615. exept for the 0,5 second lag.

Please you know how can I change overall DPI for all apps and UI?? I can use app settings module....but it´s for each app individually

Which ROM to choose?

There are so many custom Roms available meaning it difficult to choose what would fit someone's requirement.
Is there any comparison or benchmarking available?

Which one are you using?
My primary concern is better battery life

AOSP EXTENDED
Battery life is average but have no issues...

Zui, continuously using for more than 2 to 3 months, random reboot approx once in one or two weeks,good battery ,no heating or network issues. No lags either. Ui also different from aosp roms.

Notification delay bro, that's the problem...

This is the wrong place to ask the question
Sent from my Pixel XL using XDA Labs

ZUI ROM absolutely!! I have been using it for 1 week and i am very happy!! First of all be sure from the dirty flash of the unmodified zui ROM over the ROM presented in this forum :
https://lm.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...m_OXfsYk4w&s=1
This ROM has no bugs, it is just a raw zui ROM in Chinese language. So, you will use it for repairing the ROMin this forum which is useful only for English language addition.
Second, you need to open the app you need its notification after every reboot. Be sure it is running in the background by the the note arise when you press clear all symbol. It will say the app can't be cleared because it is locked. Be sure the app does exist in the safe center app as exception for auto starting and associate auto starting, also be sure to allow all notifications from the notification menu.
I have aqua mail ( which i used it as mail app because gmail app is crashing which is the only bug i could find in this rom) and what's up with absolutely no problems.
After trying every zuk z1 rom (literally) in this forum, i found out this is the best rom due to stability, brilliant camera app, and the insane battery life ( yesterday i got 5% drop for 1 h youtube video on wifi with gps and network are on and the display back light on 50%(.
No lag in this ROM, no random reboot,security is crazy ( i was shocked to see that there were some apps were blocked from reading my phone number). I guess i can live without original gmail app and substratum theme engine and dolby atom audio mode vs. gaining 7 h sot battery life, much better camera, and stable stock ROM from lenovo company has OTA update in comparison to other Roms like RR or Lineage .

Hi thanks for this info..i have few doubts can u help with that
1. after flashing will it replace twrp recovery?
2. there would be chinese app pre installed..can i flash super su to gain root access and remove system app?
3. i am looking for ROM who can give best network reception as i m facing lots of problem with other ROM for calling ..does this rom has good network reception

Hi, happy to help you.
1. No, will remain same version.
2. Yes you can, i flashed magisk 13.3 without any problem and used a bloatware app remover to remove the stupid Chinese Webbrowser. Other chinese apps can be uninstalled normally.
3. There is no rom gives you better connection than zui, i am getting now a full wifi signal in my bedroom instead of half signal i used to get in RR or AOSP roms.
Cheers

Use xposed with xnotifications module.
Sent from my Lenovo Zuk Z1 using XDA Labs

I think no rom has ability to improve signal. It's a hardware thing not software issue.
However I moved to AOSP extended from nuclear rom and boy I'm happy that my battery is almost giving me 8 hours SOT compared to 3.5 ~ 4 earlier

Nope. Look through the thread of ZUI twrp latest english, i ha dpoated a solution to this long back, after me many have as well.
Tl;dr pull down apps in recents to lock them, disable their battery optimization from settings of the apps u want to get notifs of

The notification issue is very easy to be solved, first, remove the app you want its notifications from battery optimization, and then open it, press home button>recent button>drag down its recent window slightly, you will see a symbol of a lock on the top of the window can be opened and closed by dragging down the recent window, lock the window and the app will never be cleared from recents and will stay awake in the background. I did this to whatsapp and yahoo mail apps and they are notifying me instantly.
Be sure to give the app all permissions, enable all notifications from notification menu, enable auto start and the most important to put it in the white list in the safe center app ( it is a preinstalled app as antivirus, ram manager and security wall together considered to be the main reason for delaying app notifications)

It is working perfectly by me, again, full permissions including auto start, all app notification are enabled, battery save is off for this app, on the white list in the safe center, and finaly locked in the background that when you press clear all button a note will arise telling that the app can't be cleared. This what i did and i am able to see all what's up notifications delivered overnight when i wake up. Sorry bro, this works by me, have you flashed any stange app or xpose mode or....etc. that might affect notifications?

Miui : notifications problems. How to solve this ?

Hi,
Since i've bought this device, i'm happy with it regarding the price and the overall quality. But one thing is bothering me each day a little more : the notifications. One day i receive them all, no problem, next day i'm not informed for a new snap, next day with whatsapp, receiving Gmail notif 1h later after receiving the mail... Very annoying !!
I've tried stock Miui, EU china and EEA global... can't see any improvement, still not regular... I love Miui full gestures and still want it, custom roms have problem with gcam and whatsapp video call, i use both of them each day... i've seen custom miui rom but all in russian... not that much info... is it really safe to use them ? I'm a hard user of google products, from phone to youtube, maps, gmail, agenda, drive...
Is debloating with Saki tool a way to solve those problems ? any others ideas guys ?

I've heard about this issue so much. It seems to be a problem with MIUI and I've not seen a fix for it. I can recommend custom roms where the Gcam/Whatsapp video issue is reportedly fixed though. Pixel Experience (non-CAF version) and Lineage OS (by letsmakecakes) reported that they have fixed these issues. You can try them as I've read they have good battery life too (reportedly better than MIUI). I'm currently on Syberia and waiting for these fixes to be ported to other roms too, which i think will happen soon.
One advice if you switch to Custom roms; don't flash custom kernels. Stick with the one provided in the rom. I've had huge battery drains with evira 3.8 and 4.1.

Yes, i've just seen that the PE rom seems to have both working now !! i think i'm gonna try it or another solid rom (love AEX !!) as soon as it's confirmed it works. For the full nav gestures, any advice ? it's the thing which make me stick to Miui too : a REAL full screen with perfect getures within have to move my hand to the bottom of the phone each 15 sec

The edge gestures implemented in rom in my experience are a bit laggy but you can always use an app like ubikitouch or fluid navigation gesture to solve the problem

I've tried a few roms (AOSPX, Havoc, LOS, Bootleggers, Descendant, crDroid and now Syberia) and almost -if not- all of them had fullscreen navigation options built in. Personally, I am using "Navigation Gestures - Swipe Gesture Controls!" by XDA on play store. I paid for the app but it's cheap and works increadibly reliable. Even the free version should have more customizations than MIUI. (Don't use hide navbar option in the app, disable nav bar in the ROM settings)

I sure hope so. The fixes should be open and shared among the xda developers. I'm sure every maintainer would like to implement this fix on their next update.

Does anyone have a working GCAM on 10.0 for the 6T?

I've been looking for a couple of weeks now and have used quite a few different apks but they all have the same problem.
After taking a picture, the picture shows up in the thumbnail in the bottom right but will not appear in the gallery or Google photos.
They seem to be corrupting when processing HDR and either show up as plain grey or delete themselves.
I've tried clear App Data / Storage as well as different configs but no success
Any working APKS would be appreciated!

After taking a picture, the picture shows up in the thumbnail in the bottom right but will not appear in the gallery or Google photos.
They seem to be corrupting when processing HDR and either show up as plain grey or delete themselves.
I've tried clear App Data / Storage as well as different configs but no success
Any working APKS would be appreciated!

I have been using Gcam_6.2.030_Advanced_BF_V2.2.1.190822.1145.apk for weeks all through B1 B2 and now B3 with no problems.

Huh, I've given that a try and the problem persists for me. How odd. Are you running stock OOS?

I tried this one, it works seemingly a little better, the HDR processes to the end and I can view the picture in the Camera App but when I close it and go to the Gallery or to Photos, it still doesn't exist.

Yes. Stock rooted. 10.01 stable

I have had good results with Umyx's GCam 7.2 on a 6T with 10.0 OB2.

Do the app have storage access??

I have been using these as they come out. No issues that I have found so far. Pics show up in gallery!

Unfortunately still not success.
I'm starting to think its not a problem with GCAM, rather than with my phone. Not 100% sure what exactly it could be since the stock camera still works fine but yeah.

Maybe use a file explorer and make sure all the "old" data from other gcams is gone. Then start fresh,if you know what I'm saying.

Uninstall any other Gcams.

Found some old config files and deleted those too but didn't help unfortunately.

Always install 1 at a time as well
Thanks for the ideas guys. If anyone has any more, I'd be happy to hear them!

Glad you been actively trying solutions, like hunting up old files and deleting them.
Try switching HDR through its different On-Off-+ options and see if that matters.
In the settings, make sure camera API 2 is enabled.
Also erase camera data so you can tell which gallery to use, else erase the defaults for your galleries and start cam to see which gallery it uses.
Try all the different gcams one at a time from the celsoazevedo list of arnovag2's cams starting with the newest:

Good luck.

Yes indeed I do. In fact I wrote an update on this subject which I'll post on majzel.blogspot.com on Monday December 23rd. (My original article on gcam was https://majzel.blogspot.com/2019/11/what-i-learnt-about-google-camera.html )
In short XDA seems not to be the forum for Gcam porting. You have to join Telegram and then select the channel relating to 6 and 6T porting.
From there is a set of ports with results and recommendations. To cut to the chase right now, as of dec 20 2019, time 00.01, assuming that you raised your Oneplus 6T to Oxygen OS 10.3.0 (use Oxygen Updater from Play store and install stable not beta)
THEN I'd recommend
use MJL Minikon 2.3-fix3
or Simplecam 4.0.191030.1140-7.0.009
Of course nothing will work right unless you also download and then load your .xml configuration file. Right now on Simplecam I'm using Frctl and on MJL I am using Leica
I've experienced exactly the issues that plague you i.e. takes a photo, but somewhere in processing it hangs, or is not saved. These and other peculiarities are well reported on Telegram

I really appreciate the continued help. I've tried every OP6T cam on the page with their respective configs but still no further. I've tried disabling HDR and it processes fine but eventually still deletes itself.

Thanks for this, I'm not actually on Telegram and hadn't used it yet, I'll give it a try and see if there is any more info there.
I am on 10.3.0 and tried your suggested combinations but no luck. SimpleCam actually crashes when I turn off HDR and forces me to clear the storage before I can even open it again.
Once again, thanks for the help guys!

What @amouses seems the best idea.
Find a way to get Telegram and you'll find the in-depth knowledge.
You sure are determined--trying EVERY camera in the list!
Let's get back to some basics--are you running stock?
If not maybe you gotta drop back and see if a camera works.
Got any other mods going on--gotta dump them all temporarily.
At this point, I say back up your important personal data--photos, etc., factory reset your phone, flash latest stock, start off completely fresh, don't install apps or anything until you've tested the most likely working camera.
Take it from there.
Good luck.
Season's Greetings.

Yeah, I was sure one would work, unfortunately not.
I'm running everything stock, with 0 mods on anything, OOS has come far enough for me not to need to root anymore to be honest.
I've been having a few minor bugs and a little lag in chrome once in a while so maybe the upgrade from 9 to 10 didn't go cleanly so I'll try and reset, flash stock etc. When I have some time
