I justest loaded CM 6.1.2 on my HTC evo and now every time i try to use my camera it freezes and has to force close. Any idea's? I'm new at this whole phone moding thing, so if I left out any important info just tell me. I had someone who is more experienced help me root my phone and load the rom so I don't think I messed up anything there.
Hmmm...that's strange.....I had the CM on my phone, and didn't experience any camera issues. Are you using a custom kernel?
Have you tried clearing the data and cache from the camera and then opening the camera back up? (Settings/Applications/Manage Apps/Camera) This has helped others on certain roms. Not sure on CM though.
Also, agreed with the kernel thing from filmaker. Sometimes that will do it. Try a different one.
Good luck!
I'll try that, thanks. I loaded a different rom on my phone and I'm having some problems with it, I'll reload cm and try what you told me. As to the custom kernel question, I dont believe I do. I also read on the cm forum about CM6.1.2 having issues with the camera pm newer evos and they talked about a fix but I couldn't seem to find it.
Having sorta the same problem... I switched to CM6 and the camera is just buggie... It either wont take a picture, lags really bad or FC's... I've tried clearing the data out of it but that seems to have made it worse.... Any other idea people? Thanks
Oh, I'm runnin CM6 with a stock kernel... maybe try a different kernel? And if so, can I just flash a kernel without changin anything elese like radios and what not?
Well I reinstalled cm and the camera worked prefect for a while but its not working now. I tried what you said and it didn't work. I have the stock kernal as well.

hhhmm... that's prolly gonna be a deal breaker for me if I can't get it fixed... I use my phone camera quite a bit
Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvik between ROMs? How about system?
Well I know I wiped data, cache and dalvik... and I think I wiped system (If that's an option in to do from recovery then yeah I did)..
What recovery are you using and what rev? When I first tried CM6.1.2 I was using RomManger, which was using ClockWork 3.x.x.x recovery. I couldn't get CM6 to run for more than a day without having issues. I was able to switch to Amon_RA 2.2.1 and flash a few other ROMs which ran fine for days without any issues. I have since loaded up the EvoNonsense 4.3.1 ROM, which feels a lot like Cyanogen but still has Sense, so everything works (4G, HDMI, Camera/Camcorder, etc...). Anywho, not sure if using Amon_RA recovery will fix your Cyanogen issues or not but it may be worth a try. If that doesn't work out then you may want to try the EvoNonsense ROM.

Hey everyone,
So I have been having problems connecting my evo to my bluetooth fm transmitter for my car (I can't post links yet, but it is on amazon, the gogroove flexsmart x2) ever since I switched from cm6.1.2 to miui 12.31. The transmitter was working perfectly, and my phone would pair and connect to it flawlessly, however, when I switched to miui, it didn't work at all. It would just not connect, no matter what I did. So I tried switching kernels around, and none of them worked (I tried about 3 kernels on cyanogen before I switched to miui, and switching didn't cause any issues). So I decided to go back to cyanogen, yet my bluetooth didn't work when I restored to a nandroid backup. Bluetooth still wasn't working. So then I went into clockwork and wiped my data/cache and installed the latest cm6 and bluetooth worked. Excited, I installed all of my applications, got my settings right, and installed a different kernel. When I switched kernels to try out a savage one, my bluetooth wouldn't connect. Nothing would work to bring that back, so I deleted my data/cache again and got it to work. Everything worked fine, but I wanted a different kernel, so I tried putting on snap 7.6, and it won't work anymore. I am not entirely sure what to do. I can re-install cm6 by clearing my data/cache, but I want to know why I can't use any other kernels that worked previously. Any suggestions?
Recently, I posted on cyanogen forums, and someone said to use Calkulin's format all zip as well as clear davlik cache. That didn't wok. I also tried going onto a sense rom and installing a sense kernel which didn't work either. I'm not entirely sure what to do. The thing that bothers me the most, not that I can't be on a different kernel than the stock cm6 one, it is that I don't have the option to change, but I did before.
Thanks so much for any help!
Almost sounds like it may be a hardware problem. Most of the software fixes I would suggest you've already tried with no luck. Keep in mind hardware can fail.

I would think that it is a hardware problem, but I am lead to believe it is something dealing with the kernel because when I am on a stock cm6 kernel, it works, but when I change the kernel, it fails.
EDIT: Also, would you recommend maybe unrooting my phone and completely resetting it?
what's up guys so i recently rooted my phone and flashed the latest cm7 (7.0.2). i couldn't help but to notice that my auto-rotate does not work on apps. i.e. web browser, txting, etc. It DOES rotate when i slide the keyboard out, but it's stuck on portrait if i don't have the keyboard out. I've tried ticking an unticking various things such as auto-rotate, being able to rotate an additional 180 degrees..nothing seems to make it work. does anyone have a clue of what's wrong?? (f.y.i, i've tried reflashing the rom couple of times and also flashing cm nightly, wiping the cache, wiping data/reset, but still no progress). if anyone has encountered this problem, or might have a solution, that would be great ! it's starting to irritate me..so any help would be much appreciated. thanks for stopping by.

so i tried flashing a different rom (gingervillain 1.5) like you said..and it's still not working.....any other suggestions? should i unroot and root my phone again? would that cause any harm?
This has been happening occasionally on my G2 while running the stock deodexed ROM, and the only way I've known to fix it is to run "fix permissions" in CWM. I've also deleted the cache and dalvik cache as well, just to be safe, and these have fixed the problem for me. I'm not sure if it's related to the ROM or any of the apps I have installed, but I'm getting more & more concerned that it could be that my accelerometer slowly dying. Not sure.
I really hope that helps fix your problem.

ok so i tried to do your method, and it still doesnt work... i'm kind of bummed because i barely got a replacement on this phone..and its hard to believe that the accelerometer would be dying on mine because i just got it replaced like few weeks ago..i really don't know what the problem is
I cant say when this started, because i barely use the camera. but i notice the video recorder wouldn't record about a week ago. I'd hit record and it wouldn't record. [still showed the picture through the camera]
[Camera] when on the camera screen, its a blank white screen. It still snaps pix, but of a blank white screen.
[Cam Recorder] still doesn't record any video, but now also show the same blank all white screen.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!!
What rom are you using, and are you running a custom kernel? Your issue sounds suspiciously like what happens when you run a froyo kernel on a gingerbread Sense rom.
Like jesuspgt said, might be caused if you have been flashing different kernels. Try wiping factory, cache, dalvik, etc. If that doesn't work, wipe everything and reflash the rom

Just wiped everything and reinstalled the rom, and now its working again. But the crazy part is, I already did that twice before. I guess third times a charm. Or maybe it was because i wiped the sd before reinstalling the rom the 3rd. time.
Is that rom gingerbread? If so, then it probably used at least part of the leaked gingerbread sense release as a base, which would explain why flashing that netarchy kernel caused your camera problems.
As far as I know, all gingerbread roms with Sense currently have this issue.
Hi all! I have flashed my phone three times with the Synergy ROM and I've flashed the freedom kernel, and chopsuey kernel numerous more times. But for some reason I can't get my camera to work! I tried to the date fix trick and it didn't work. I tried flashing a camera.zip file I found on another forum that was supposed to wipe the data so I could use it again but it was no good.
The camera stopped working once before I rooted my phone but after I tried the date fix trick it worked again. Ever since then it hasn't work
Please help!
Thank you
What recovery are u using. U should be using amonra. If so are you wiping properly?
Have you ruled out possible hardware failure by maybe nanding back to a back up where the camera was working?
Have u checked the md5s for both synergy and your kernels?
Just a few ideas....good luck
Hey,
That sounds more to me a hardware issue, my dads camera on his evo is all screwed up and is just a broken camera and it works when it wants to, but there is nothing really you can do about it.
Does the front camera work?
and are the kernels compatible with your rom?
Try mikg,3.0, it's a better version of synergy .should take care of your problem.
Thank you for all your input but I think it is a hardware issue. I've flashed energy, synergy, CM7 with different (yet compatible) ROMs on each of them and the camera still doesn't work. I've given up
sounds like hardware. The cam is set into a removeable port. Try taking out the back and remounting the cam.
I can't boot cm10 (unofficial) or Evervolv's JB preview ROMs. They both sit at boot screen. Also, Sometime mid July cm9 (unofficial) changed something that breaks my data somehow. Stock browser begins to load but stops and closes. Same with FB app. Any nightly (cm9) I use prior works fine and last Evervolv ICS release works great as well.
Is my Evo outdated? I've heard of some Evo's not handling some ROMs for whatever reason but I haven't heard of anybody having my problems with these new ROMs. I use Smelkus ver RA recovery and I have my SD partitioned, though I rarely use sd-ext. I'm always through on wiping and my hardware is 003 if that helps.
I have a pretty old EVO as well, and haven't had any issues getting any jb up and running. Have you tried redownloading? The most recent one I tried was here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805348 and I liked it, just no camera so I had to go back to an ICS.
If you do a full wipe there shouldn't be any reason why ur not able to run those roms.
Thanks for the input. I flashed the ROM above (With evervolv jb gapps) and decided to wipe everything individually. I'm running JB now! Only thing I did differently was not use combo wipes and try this ROM. I wonder if that's it. Will try other ROMs now.
Just for an update I downloaded new Evervolv JB preview 5 and it booted so not sure what's going on. Unofficial CM10 still won't boot so maybe it is a download issue but I've tried multiple ways (3g and landline). Team Dirt CM10 booted though. I'm scratching my head.....
So basically I am just here to answer your question concerning if your HTC EVO is too old? Why, yes, yes it is, actually, any phone that comes out is usually obsolete within one to two months after debute.
I have booted cm10 to my evo with no problem. I have encountered a few issues with cm10 but that was expected. Can't wait for the camera to work. Only major setback.
