Alright its been awhile since when I flashed the Cm 7.1 RC rom. All I want to know is/is there a different type of camcorder compatible with this rom? I've looked and searched everywhere, but can't seem to find one that is decent or works.
The one currently on Cm 7.1 RC is terrible, although its got a good capture and HQ it doesn't use the HTC Incredibles widescreen and doesn't have a resolution. Its also missing a few extra features - brightness/contrast etc.
So is there any out there that will work for this rom? I was using IncRom 1.6 before I flashed Cm 7.1 RC and the camera/camcorder was amazing! I tried unpacking the camera installing and it wouldn't. Deleted my original camera in system/app and replaced it with the camera I wanted to use and renamed it but still either wouldn't install or would constantly force close.

So as a plea, can someone help me here?
Thanks in advance!

That's a way better one then the stock Cm 7 one I had.
Still doesn't have the extra features - brightness/sharpness/contrast etc.
But definitely has what I need if I can't get a better one.
But again thank you! Way better, love it.

Yeah I guess you could always download a camera app from the market if you're looking for additional features- there are some pretty sweet ones out there.

I'm not much of a camera user, and when I use it then it's pretty casual use so I never noticed it was even missing those options.

Unfortunately, the MIUI camera will cause reboots which in my books in unacceptable.

Your only real alternate option is to seek out some market camera apps. It angers me that the stock android camera (cm7) and most (all) of the market cameras have horrible user interfaces. The MIUI one is perfect - simple and beautiful. However it causes reboots, so no thanks to that.

Come on Google, we know you have some good in house designers... snazz up that camera interface!

I love CM7, but I hate the stock android camera. I end up flashing to a sense based rom every now and then for the camera but then realize how much I hate sense and revert to CM7. I fear I might be stuck in this infinite loop!

I don't know what happened, but I had the IncROM 1.6 rom's camera Apk "Zip file" and when I flashed to the 151#build nightly I had the crappy one reinstalled then reinstalled the MIUI one and then I was like, ehhh. I should install this to just incase, well I thought it was my backup of the crappy camera and the IncROM zip file camera I had was renamed the same Apk. So I installed this thinking it was the original one and turns out it was the IncROM camera. Installed fine, works fine. MIUI, works fine, no force closes. Both camera work and each has there own unique ability.

Wait you managed to get the sense camera from the IncROM rom to work on cm7? Meaning it works with no force closes and no other errors? If this is correct then alot of cm users will be happy.

Well if its a sense rom? I'm new to the world of rooting but I try to learn as quickly as possible. I don't know how it happened but it installed for me, no force closes, no reboots. It works fine with the MIUI camera, the configuration the IncROM camera has is - contrast/saturation/sharpness - High/low/YouTube high "quality" and a few others. But yeah this works perfect I tried to take a picture of the settings but it hits a black screen when I do this. But I could take a picture of the interface between the two?

This is the Sense IncROM camera interface.

This is the MIUI camera interface

Thank you for posting a picture of it, by going by that screen shot that is not the sense camera. That looks like the regular aosp camera that comes with cyanogenmod.

The stock cyanogen camera uses Tv-Format widescreen with dark grey borders. It doesn't have alot of options/configuration.
When I reinstalled with 152#build, I installed the MIUI camera because it installed the stock. Then I wondered..what if I try the IncROM camera again since the MIUI took over stock.
Again though I got confused, it wasn't named the correct apk since I renamed it camera.apk. So when I installed it, I was gambling with the stock camera too because I didn't know if it was the IncROM or Stock.
It was the IncROM, and I'm happy. I'm telling you it isn't the stock.
