First time I hear a phone maker pass a phone to cyanogen team to develop alternative rom. That is Samsung and phone is the galaxy s II
Great news meaning we will have Samsung approval to use CM ROMs

I don't mind paying for "almost" bugless rom.

i didnt see close up mode in the setting..only see macro..

the object will blur only..

That is interesting that samsung taking this step....

This is what happened to the phone that RViN bought from me.
Brought in back to supplier and they said it's "out of focus" and they replaced 1 unit for him
after 1 week.
Now the unit he has got a dead pixel

hopefull my unit perfect. Help me make a call

i got the same prob as you..cannot focus if the object is too near...

I think it is not a defect, every camera has its limit of focusing object on certain distance.
So if you put the object TOO near to the camera lenses, it can't focus to it.
Unless extreme cases like 10cm distance also cannot focus, then it might be a defect.
But still need some camera expert to clarify on this.

yup..i just google around



well in macro mode in 3inch or 4inch can focus..if 1-2 inch cannot..

I think it's not defective..
just that we haven't find out a way to focus close objects...
other than that are ok

Very unlikely. CyanogenMOD has been developing roms for countless smartphones and is all free. Just following their nightly builds will drive you insane keeping up/testing with it. If you like their work, they will appreciate a donation for their efforts

Samsung now realize the potential of the growing users who wish to push their smartphones higher up to another level beyond the default limits. HTC recently had announced their agreement to unlock the bootloaders but all are still waiting for their date. Sony Ericsson had already done that with their Xperia series.

Well even in this thread and several other threads, I see many new users who in their first entry into Android expressing their wishes and showing intentions to root, flash rom etc even though they are still noobs. I have received many PM from such users ( probably they are shy to post in forums ) asking me to guide them or explain certain Android terminologies. Some are so noob that questions like - how to format SD card, how to enable mass storage , how to install apk files, how to push adb files, how to use terminal etc are asked

yea..it is not defect..i believe that must be a way to be found out..
my nexus S can take very near object...like a few cm away from the object..
i have posted pictures comparison btw nexus s and galaxy s 2, and i have mentioned this problem before..

im the one of the noobs...
change to angelom v1.5.. the signal bar is ugly...

yea im facing camera focus issues when im holding the object away only about 2 inches. I wonder whether it's defective and hopefully custom rom will be able to fix this issue.

because of the gingerbread remix theme maybe... thats y i dont change.. i hope cm7 will include wpa_suppliment mod for adhoc
