I have just installed CyanogenMod and, while testing the Gallery and Photo editor apps, have noticed a very strange behavior. Whenever I try to apply some effects such as Lomo, Documentary among others, the Photo editor applies the effect only to a circle in the center of the image. The problem happens with any image from my gallery, no matter the resolution or the camera (back or front camera).

I have already rebooted the system, and have tried to "clear data" of the app. I have searched all the possible configurations and could not find anything related to this problem.

(The funny thing is that I tried an app called Photo Editor ICS, which is a clone of the original Photo Editor, and it worked fine. But I don't mean to keep using it, I expect that the original app works)

lomo effect applied to the center of the image

  • what version of CM are you referring to? – t0mm13b Aug 16 '12 at 20:27
  • CM9.0.0. Running on a Samsumg Galaxy S2 – Paulo Guedes Aug 17 '12 at 17:21

Try using Aviary instead. It's an excellent photo-editor app with even more features than the default one, and it works for me, even when I flash experimental JB roms where the camera doesn't even work.

This is a strange problem, unique to your device, and you should probably report it on the CM forums.

HTH!

    I give other people a chance to improve themselves by going "pssstt... what's that about?" ;) – t0mm13b Aug 16 '12 at 20:28
  • Aviary seems to be a great app, but... I don't mean to pick any photo editor, I'd like to use the native one. There are many apps out there with great features, but I think it's essential that the native app works fine. Anyway the problem seems to be specific to Samsung Galaxy 2. I have seen in a friend's phone and also there are some people discussing it in XDA forum. In fact it seems to be a problem with the CM9 release, not sure if it can be corrected by a regular user. – Paulo Guedes Aug 17 '12 at 18:34
  • Right, which is precisely what I said-- This is more than likely an issue with the CM9 build for your device. Therefore, to immediately get around the issue, as opposed to waiting for a patch from the CM9 team for the SGII--- you can just use Aviary-- since it is fully featured, has the plugin capability, so you can invoke it directly from the Gallery--- etc, etc-- Would you like me to edit out the part about Aviary so that "This is a problem with CM9 on the GSII" is the correct answer? – rm-vanda Aug 17 '12 at 22:57
