As for the kernel itself, here is the link to it: https://github.com/filippz/kernel-adaptation-n950-n9 and instructions for building: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/N9_...tions_from_git. If necessary I can provide my own build (it takes tome time to set everything, ie: MerSDK, SB2...), but it would be hard to play with it w/o the ability to compile it. I've tested it using ubiboot on nemomobile, but it works under sailfish too. For preview I also had to build waylandsink (I can send compiled lib if needed) There are guys on #nemomobile IRC channel that are better than me in setting the enviroment for compiling, so they can help with kernel building and setting up nemomobile if needed. Anyway thanks for your app, and you taking the time to take a look at this issue! |

Hello, i'm having some problems with cameraplus. Basically, when the app starts, i have to wait 1 minute until i can take any photos. Any solutions?

omap3camd is a piece of crap. I know :) I don't know if yavta http://git.ideasonboard.org/yavta.git would help or not. I'd personally use filesink and dump the raw frames to a file and inspect them just to be sure that the issue is not a wayland issue. I will try to have a look and see. I personally prefer using nemo than Sailfish but I will see what's flashed on my spare N9 :) P.S. also note that the nemo version of omap3camd is crippled. The harmattan version is better. |

I used default nemo kernel to test waylandsink and it works OK. To be safe I tried filesink, and app.c from https://gitorious.org/msameer/omap3camd/source/master: Raw image data contains occasional ones - not just entire zeroes - so maybe liboamp3camd has trouble with "brightness" setting (wild guess). I also tried setting smiapp driver to test pattern to exclude problems with smiapp (without using libomap3camd I get test pattern to display - but with wrong colors). Since I had to reconfigure kernel memory to be used for zero-copy buffering - I'm not sure that the issue isn't there. "First use" bug was due to the fact that V4L2 in older kernels would make ctrl->val same as ctrl->cur.val when setting v4l2_ctrl struct for smiapp driver (fix is here: https://github.com/filippz/kernel-ad...a78a8413378f69) - on the second run ctrl->val would be OK. Since there are ctrl->val, ctr->val64, ctrl->cur.val and ctrl->cur.val64 for every v4l2_ctrl it's possible that libomap3camd looks at (for example) ctrl->cur.val, but in newer kernels it should look at cur->val64. This doesn't cause it to break, but it reads default value and produces wrong result. I also prefer nemo on my spare N9 - the guys there are doing a fantastic job. I'm not sure what you mean when you say that nemo version is crippled - I was under impression that the versions are the same? |

I remember I came across an old debug binary for omap3camd while trying to reverse engineer its header. I can't remember where I got it from :( Have you tried using the N9 driver instead of the smiapp one? I am trying to ask around about the driver state but no replies so far. As for omap3camd. My understanding is that the public nemo version was crippled by Nokia. I am not entirely sure but that's another topic :) |

The 4 main issues bothering me now are: - a way to lock orientation of image in post capture - country name being all in caps (geotags) - Capture button (I cannot move it to the right because it looks really bad). Want to see a screenshot ? ;) - the focus reticle issue (I might rework the whole thing to simplify the code too). P.S. No need to worry. N9 is still my primary phone so no plans currently to drop support for harmattan. |
Re: [Announce] cameraplus, An alternate open camera application for Harmattan
please dont think im rushing you! im constantly impressed by your near-zero response time, but i dont EXPECT it or anything.

Thank you for the idea. I actually reworked the button so the MouseArea would become the bottommost element and that allows to make it a bit bigger than the button itself. Please try this build: http://foolab.org/files/cameraplus_0.0.22-1_armel.deb P.S. I have not tested it much so other buttons might be broken (Including the ones in the toolbar). |
Re: [Announce] cameraplus, An alternate open camera application for Harmattan

the button handling is much better! Only one weird thing.... If you press on the area to the right of the button you can trigger a shot but the button doesn't turn blue. Other than that it works very nice on the shutter button. Could you give this new handling to all the onscreen buttons? |

Re: [Announce] cameraplus, An alternate open camera application for Harmattan
Another issue I've got (sorry) is with the self-timer. The slider to adjust the timeout is half off the screen to the left. You can even see the obscured part of the slider by half swiping to the settings page.

Do the rest of the buttons also need the same behavior? EDIT: In fact, I might disable it. We don't even get the press signal until the finger has moved away from the button which means that camera will not even try to focus. I don't know but I feel I will have to disable it again and hope to find another solution one day. EDIT2: I remember that the harmattan compositor reserves an area for itself in order to allow swiping. It has a fake window if I recall correctly. I also seem to recall that it will synthesize the press events if there is no swipe. If that is the case then I don't think we can do anything here :( |

After more investigation I can say that the above is only true when the pop-out toolbar is hidden. In fact if you tap the toolbar icon to extend the toolbar the slider moves to along so that it is fully visible. The opposite is also true... hide the toolbar and the slider jumps back to the left and is partially obscured again. If it is not possible to separate the geometry/positioning of the timeout adjustment slider from that of the toolbar, perhaps a solution could be to force the toolbar to be extended when the timer is chosen? |

Anyway, thanks for reporting. Fixed in git already :) |
thank you for your great work! from the first release, your app is became my stock app to take pictures.
is it possible to improve cameraplus to take pictures during recording video?! :) |
Re: [Announce] cameraplus, An alternate open camera application for Harmattan
0.0.22 has been uploaded to OpenRepos:
* Fix country names being in capital letters * Prevent the self timer delay slider from changing position when the tool bar is closed * Increase the GPS position update interval to 60 seconds * New mode switch, front camera switch and back camera switch icons from mcbook * Don't rotate video preview in post capture * Reworked the post capture rotation animation I am a bit slow in responding here as I am trying to push the Sailfish port a bit forward so I apologize for that. |

The long answer: I am not sure the driver supports it but even if it does, the DSP is fully utilized encoding the video itself and the CPU is busy encoding the audio stream. The best thing we can do is to take a snapshot of the viewfinder (will be of low quality), encode it with SW jpeg encoder and dump it to disk. I don't know if that will cause frame drops or not. It's also not easy because the GStreamer stack does not support doing that. |

Very nice update! Keeps my N9 ticking happily :)
When will your work on the Sailfish version be ready for release. I would prefer Cameraplus instead of the current camera app in Sailfish. |

The stock camera app gives an error... The camera is not responding. Try again or restart the device if the problem continuesYeah, trying again and rebooting doesn't do squat. Looks like I'll be living without a camera until I can get a new phone. Wonder when Jolla will be available in Oz?... |

Does anybody need/use the resolution indicator for video and image modes? I am thinking about removing it completely.
What do you guys think? |
