about G2 camera app - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In the stock ROM of G2, the camera app has the touch focus function.
But I flashed the CM 6.1.1 and found that when I selected the touch option, it didn't work at all.
Virtuous and Enomther's ROM also haven't the function...
As I know, HTC has released the source code of G2 rom, so why there is no mod's camera app the same like the one in the stock rom...

try going through the settings in your CM camera app, it's there

In CM6, did anything happen at all when you touched the screen? No green focus indicator at all? Do the other focus modes work? It's been working fine for me (only on occasion, there is some delay before it registers my first touch).
And as far as I remember, the stock Froyo camera app did not have touch focus (in fact, it felt severely limited in options in general).

Thx a [email protected]@
I do remember that the stock rom has the function...but I lost the nandroid backup of my s-off stock rom...so I can't go back to the stock rom other than I wanna lost my root...
Maybe the Froyo didn't have the touch focus, but G2's stock camera has it and also comes along with a few simple scenes to [email protected]@
The focus function on My G2 with CM 6.1.1 works as Continuos, Auto, Infinity, but when I selected the Touch mode, no matter how I touch the screen, nothing happened...

Not sure what's going on then. Did you wipe the dalvik-cache when you flashed CM? That may be worth trying. Also clearing the cache and maybe wiping data for the camera app?

A good idea, [email protected]@
You know in the clockworkmod recovery there's wipe data and wipe cache on the main menu, but the item wipe dalvik-cache is on the Advanced menu...so I never tried to wipe the [email protected]@
Maybe I'll make a try the next time I flash my rom...(maybe cm7><)

You can actually wipe the dalvik-cache now without any harm. Your next boot will take a while longer while the cache is being rebuilt (and your apps make take slightly longer to load the very first time they are run). You won't lose any data or settings though.

Any one tried this.
Im installing it now
http://incredibleroms.com/roms/jager/
I'll give it a try.
Failed on install in Rom Manager.
Reverting to leaked 2.2 now.
Bummer it looked great without sense.
Jager : Update
I got it up and running well. I installed it using ROM Manager, wiped the cache and let it do its thing. Something odd though. I cant seem to get the "Checking phone storage" icon in the status bar to go away. 720p recording, 8mp camera, wireless tether and adw launcher are all included and working. Im going to try to get ahold of the developer, seems like some good work.

Edit
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Its 2.2 through and through. Im giving it another shot and reinstalling it to troubleshoot the "Checking phone storage" error.
also failed for me in rom manager, coming from 2.2 sense leak

Fantastic rom although it took me a few time to get it to work. Here is what i did. (Tried it from rom manager and no go)
In recovery,
1. to wipe/factory reset.
2.wipe cache partition,
3. then go to advanced options at the bottom and format cache.
4. Format dalvik cache (not sure if this was necessary but i did it just in case)
5. Reboot
After a couple of minutes you will be good to go.
So far no real bugs in fact it less buggy than the stock froyo and skyraider and quicker it seems
Performance- Linpack results
Peak so far - 40.707 MFLOPS, .13 secons
avg - 38-39 MFLOPS .14 seocnds
Fully de-odexed and slim
I like it a lot so far but just my opinion but you should def try it out

Oh haha didnt know i was responding to the creator of the rom duh/ Anyways while i got you thanks for the rom, i like all of your roms. also right now i have the 2.2.4 version installed but when i go to the site it shows the previous one and not the 2.2.4?
...
Thanks dude. Let me know what the deal is. Also, something to look into, when you answer your phone, the htc sense slide up slide down is appearing, not the slide deal. Looking forward to trying out your work.

Which version are you using, because i am using 2.2.4 but when i tried the previous one which was 2.2 it didnt work. when i check about 45 mins ago the old one 2.2 was back up and the version i am on 2.2.4 was taken down for some reason. I just checked a second ago and the latest one is back up, so try that one if you havent yet, but dont use rom manager because it doesnt work for some reason and follow the steps that i put up
installed this rom and I had no data connection. Rest the phone and no luck, also did a battery pull and still no data. Did *228 and let it reset after programming and all seems to be working fine. Thanks for a great rom.

its back up now
This is an unusal situation but eventually everyone should be able to get it, like i said it took me a couple of trys. Its deferent than most roms because this on actually forces a full wipe, which is def unusual. Also one thing i noticed when i put it in the cooker just to see the specs and it show "unsecured boot" which is unusal for roms to have
Yea it is back up.
Some bugs I found:
Search feature is not working from home screen.
At first install the messages app doesent seem to be installed correctly and for some reason their is no phone app in the launcher home row.
MMS does not work
couldn't get teh wireless tether in AP mode working

Any ROM suggestions?

I think i've just got my head around ROMs and all the other millions of acronyms. I do like the look of the Oxygen ROM, only i'm not a fan of the green icons in the status bar, is the colour changeable, and does anyone suggest Oxygen as a good ROM to flash for a first timer?
I must add i love the dark bar and prefer having a dark background, so silver/bright etc task bars are a no no
Cheers.
Oxygen is a great ROM, but i would reccomend u go for a froyo rom first so u got more options with themes and such. but rly its a matter of taste and what u want .. stability or experimental.
Experimental: CyanogenMod 7
Stable: eMIUI, Oxygen 1.0.4
Sense roms?
Hmm im using Sense HD port now, since everything works. its stable¨
im using InsertCoin with my own tweaks and theme
u can allways check out my FroSTeD GingerBread theme for Oxygen 1.0.4^^
Rom and theme here
BUT, if u decide to go for a Android 2.3 Rom i rly recommend CM 7, Oxygen 2 RC7 is just as good but less theming options i think.
Heres a nice theme for CM7 Rom
Clicky
I tried the insert coin 1.8 and got caught in a never ending bootloop lol.
I have Leedroid 2.3d A2SD. It's slick and stable and had no issues with it.

then u did not do it right. read the whole first page. then u can complain if u did everything 100%. ive not had 1 single rom on bootloop. to get insertcoin to work u need EXT 4 partition with 1gb recommended. its not hard if u actually read what to do istead of just trying the easy way like Leedroid is. and leedroid was boring and old news
Well im now running on Oxygen 2.3.2 which is really nice.
However...i keep getting a message saying "The application settings (android.process.media) has stopped unexpectadly. Please try again"
This is ALWAYS the case when i choose the "sound" option from the settings menu.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
It means you didn't wipe properly before installing the rom. Boot in to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache (under advanced) start up and see if the problem persists, if yes you need to do a full wipe(data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache).
Shall give it a go. Odd seeing as i did wipe it all before 0_0
Also, i assume if i factory reset, is that from the recovery menu, and then re install the ROM?
Yes, all wipes from recovery and then reflash the rom. Keep in mind all the data on the phone will be gone.
Exactly the same problem...i'm using Launcher Pro Plus if that's any help.
This is precisely why i've put off flashing ROMs for this long, to prevent naffing up my phone, and now
Well if you don't want any issues I don't understand why you would install a RC, also I'm pretty sure the fc is not a rom issue but a user issue.
If you did everything correctly you should have a normal functioning rom (except form the know issues), even with launcher pro plus cause i have the same setup.
Have you ever disabled signature verification? If yes there is a small chance your issues are caused by a corrupted zip file.
If you can't get oxygen to work and want a really stable custom rom use Leedroid. If you are done with rooting and custom rom's just run the latest RUU.
Thanks for the quick reply, where can i access the lastest RUUs to flash them from please? I may well try again at a later date, but it seems too much hassle currently with having to reset and change everything *sigh*
I've just reset to the last point using Nandroid before i flashed the ROM. I've still got root access which is good, but everything runs back to normal now.
A brief foray into the murky waters lol!
mrfish123,
Pretty sure I know what is causing your problem as I recently resolved this issue myself. If I'm right you did a full wipe before installing, but the issues started after restoring your apps (titanium backup?).
What I was doing was wiping and then restoring all apps with data. Lots of these are system settings/apps which come from the old ROM, so in effect you re restoring all the stuff you wiped in the first place.
What you need to do is:
Wipe (system wipe from recovery, and do the chache and dalvik cache too for good measure).
Install ROM
In Titanium select 'restore missing apps with data', but before you run it, go through the list and uncheck absolutely everything which is not obviously an app you have installed yourself, so anything HTC, system etc. You only want to restore your apps.
Once I did this I had no issue installing a custom ROM, and have had no problems running it for over a week.
auraxsense!
Redux-RC2.1 (Gingerbread 2.3.2) highly recommended - smooth and fast

Camera permanently frozen in MIUI ROM

I've got MIUI ROM 1.6.10 installed on my HTC Desire and I really like it, but I've got a big issue with the camera: it's in a constant state of being frozen.
So to clarify, I open the camera app, and it's straight away frozen. I try to press buttons but all I get is the Force Close / Wait dialogue. If I wait, nothing happens. If I force close and open it again, it's frozen still/again.
It used to happen to me in MIUI 1.2 as well and when I upgraded to MIUI 1.4 after a wipe, surprisingly it was exactly the same, but then I tried pressing the Clear Data button for the Camera application and it started working again.
A little bit after it started getting frozen again. Clear data didn't work anymore, neither did a wipe, SD card format and upgrading to 1.6.10, as mentioned above.
The only thing I can think about the might cause the problem is this: before miui I used to have cyanogen ROM. When I look at phone information it says I've got the cyanogen kernel. is that something that could cause problems to the miui ROM? Should install a different kernel?
Can anyone please help? I really like this ROM and I don't want to have to start getting used to something else!
Thanks for reading!
I'm not sure if this is useful/helpful at all but i gather that since it says that you've got cm kernel you didn't perform a full wipe when you installed miui... try doing a full wipe and reinstalling it...
Save important user data and apps, perform a full wipe and flash again.
Does a full wipe erase the previous kernel?
What kernel will I have then?
Can anyone actually explain what kernel is exactly?
Also, how do I do a FULL wipe?
Because I've already done:
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
What am I missing?
Cheers
After a full wipe you won't be able to start any rom.
You will get the kernel which is delivered with the rom you flash.
An explanation for the kernel:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel
Nothing is missing for a full wipe.
Search the miui thread for your problem.

If nothing is missing and I've actually done a full wipe, then why is my kernel still cyanogen?

Wicked thank you. So the kernel is not the problem.
Could I still have missed something from a full wipe? I remember reading in the guide that u need to format /data,or something. But I assumed the wipes I've detailed above were sufficient. Can anyone confirm that for me?
Or can anyone tell me otherwise why I'm having this problem?
Thanks.

DIDN'T WORK!
It's a shame. I really thought that was the solution, but it didn't work.
I've just downloaded and installed the recommended radio (5.17.5.23), even tried to clear the camera's data again, but it's still frozen.
ANYONE ...? :\
Did you try some other kernels like ManU or Tiamat?

No. Do you reckon that might help? Which one would u recommend?
Okay I've tried a different radio, different kernels (Tiamat 3.3.8 and 4.0.5). Nothing helps!
Does anyone have a clue how to fix this annoying problem?
Another lead I had in mind: Could the fact that I have S-ON affect anything?
Update: I've tried pressing "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager which didn't help either.
................?
The MIUI camera seems to be a bit buggy, I had to update the radio which helped me get rid of the worst crashes (suprise reboots) but it's still FC'ing and crashing the camera totally so that a reboot is necessary.
Try installing Camera360 from Market. It works for me, and at least you will know if it's just the MIUI Camera app that's broken or if you have bigger problems. In case Camera360 can't connect to the camera, reboot and try again.

I've already tried a different camera from the market and it does work with no problems at all.
It is the miui camera app that's malfunctioning.
If no one has a solution, all that's left for me is to hope the miui devs will fix this critical issue for their next build.

Ah, then it's most probably the same problem that I have, only I get to shoot a few pics before it goes bye bye and then no camera app at all works until I reboot.
It's a shame because I really like the MIUI Camera, but I guess we'll just have to wait for a fix. If you have error logs, try posting them in the official forum for your MIUI build and maybe they can get someone in China working on a solution?
same problem for me but i am on 1.9.16 ported to X10 lol...
I seen somewhere that it was the auto focus that caused problems/ lags for ppl so if i could just get it to work once and maybe turn that off?

Well Felluhs This Is A Doosie!

so awhile back like 4-6 weeks i had my evo replaced. i flased roms and such and used the revolution method to unlock it. everything was working fine until i went to use my camera. i got a complete blank screen and no menu option nothing.
so i took it to sprint and they replaced my camera. yea my sprint store will repair my phone regardless being rooted. there pretty cool people. so after it got fixed it worked just fine. then i flashed another rom and got the black screen again. panic!! lol i reflashed the current rom that i knre it previously worked on and still broke again.
can someone explain to me how it broke for the second time?
which rom are u using? Try to flash the stock rooted rom in the forums...see if its doing the same thing. I am going to say it probably is not hardware unless the flash is really jacking it up. Did you do a superwipe or just flash it over top? Try to do a cache and dalvik wipe like 3 times on each. Should clear it out.
Also are you using a custom kernel?

well i flashed almost back to stock using synergy umm 2.2 i believe and at the moment im using FEARmede b8.5. this is the rom i had when i got my orignal camera replaced. then i flashed the new ics rom and then back and broke again.
no custom kernal because there isnt one yet and i use VRsuperwipe and it clears dalvik and cache 3x.

Have you tried flashing a new camera apk? Have you dropped it? It could be loose on the board.

Whats the most stable custom rom currently out?

OCTOS L is somewhat unstable in my daily life and was wondering if there is any custom stable roms that give stability but at the same time usefull features.
(anyways, how do i backup my app's data for when i install the new custom rom to place it in the custom rom?)
If you want you could use Google's backup services, this being my personal choice
Or a Nandroid backup
Or use Titanium Backup
On the question about stable roms..... I myself am still waiting too see. Hoping to see some interesting input soon
Interesting to hear you had a bad experience with Oct OS L, I tried Slim Rom and had camera issues. Oct OS L gives me none. Working camera all apps i use working, day long battery. How did you flash it? TWRP select Advanced Wipe then select, Dalvik, Cache, System, and Data and do a total of three times?

I only did it 1 manually while the ROM did it again automatically. So 2 total. When I take a selfie on instagram with my FFC, the phone crashes and reboots. And for the video with the FFC, it doesn't actually record it.
Do 3 manual wipes as I described in TWRP, also clear cache 3 times after ROM flash. Then reboot, shouldn't have that FFC issue on latest Oct-OS L. I am getting perfect FFC photos and rear. No force close. I know the issue your referring to I couldn't avoid it on SlimRom 4.4.4 without using open camera. That's a short term fix but you have to take pictures in open camera first.. I would recommend the flash/wipe as I described.

BTW Oct-OS L release version makes a difference, I am on Oct-OS-L-M6-FINAL-5.1.1-20151229. The last part being the important one, 12-29-2015 is the build date of the version I am having zero issues with.
