Front camera - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a work around for the front camera and the nightlies. Its really my only major issue, as 4g is not happening any time soon.
Also is there a better camcorder than the stock. Millions of cameras no camcorders?

Which nightly/kernel are you using? I'm on nightly 27 and savaged-Zen 0.0.5 and my front can works fine.

Think you need to stroll over to development section my friend or are you sure you are in the right spot... Front cam - check 4g - check .... all working fine as far as I know

Downloaded your recommendation, but it shows a different name in system properties.
Also front camera is still really dark

Camera

I guess it is just my phone, that makes my camera doesn't work with any Rom, it work for a while and then it stays on black screen, man I'm getting use to it

Dude, there has to be something you're doing wrong to cause this as we figured out last time it does work. Unroot and reroot again for peace of mind. There's no way your phone's camera just doesn't want to work with rooted roms. Let's take a pause and figure out what you're doing to break your camera. If its a black screen then that's good; if its pink or yellow that's not good.

Na its just black, it was working today since the morning but, then when I went to use it like at 5pm it stays black I get so.mad LOL but damn idk man wth is this

I've told you this in another thread man. Download your rom again, wipe EVERYTHING and run it with the stock kernel. Once again, if it works on some roms I believe there's something that you're doing man. Your camera is clearly not broken so let's get to the bottom of this. What's your set up?

I'm looking into this rom now! I'm downloading it to see what's the deal. If I remember you have a 0003 and I have a 0004 so our phones should be pretty similar in hardware ; not including what type if screen you have a nova or epson. Gimmie like 5 or 10 mins im going to test it for myself.

80% done! About to flash in a sec. So what exactly isn't working for you? Camcorder supposedly force closes for everyone and camera is a hit or miss. I will report back in a bit.
Edit: you do know that this is a work in progress for sense 2.1 so not everything will work perfect. If you're looking for a "perfect" sense experience you might have to just use a froyo 2.2 based rom.

Have you tried going to applications then manage apps, then find the camera apk and select "clear data" on the camera.

Yes I did. I booted up about 5 mins ago and my camera is working. No blk screen man wtf lol. Why don't you try getting a logcat. Do you know how to use adb? If I were you I'd get a logcat started then let it run and try to open the camera app a few time while the logcat is running. After you do that I would post it in miks thread so many devs can look at it to diagnose what's going on!

Here hausx just posted this in another thread. Run adb from your comp.

If you can get a logcat. It's 'adb logcat > logcat.txt' to do it, run that and end it by pushing Ctrl+C to stop it.

Logcats will tell devs why its black screening man. (Get the logcat upload it to pastebin.com). Logcats are very long but pastebin will take care of that.

(Q) Mikg v1.01 Camcorder Playback FC?

Does anyone know if the camcorder is broken on Mikg v1.01? I can record, but get FC when i try to play a video back. I've searched the forums, but haven't been able to find an answer. Any help would be appreciated

For me, v1.0 seems a bit more stable. I tried 1.01 first and had some issues with FC's of my People app and Mail app, and Sense rebooted repeatedly.
The only major change for me in 1.01 was the new kernel that fixes brightness controls, but you can just flash that with 1.0 and its basically the same thing, just more stable.
Plus there's a pretty bad ass blue theme available that causes some FC's in 1.01, but is pretty sweet for 1.0!
Thanks. I guess I'll go with my second option of flashing back to v1 unless someone else comes back with a fix. You're right about the theme. I was dissapointed when it got all funky with v1.01.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
i checked right now, and my camcorder works just fine, and i can see the video afterwards. Is there a specific length you try that FC's?
I tried different lengths all with the same fc. I'm starting to think that it's something with chogardjr's theme. I just saw a post over at mik forums about other problems with the gallery.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
alot of the themes for 1.0 do cause problems for 1.01, mik likes to rebuid rather than update for each version thus causing the themers heads to spin!! some of the themes have been updated, check out the themes section at mikmik.com
Thanks. Will do
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I think the theme is was the issue with 1.01 for me also. 1.0 works well though so no biggie.
No problem here, and I tested it in every resolution, including 720p

So, you're asking if the camera can be modified to operate while on the phone? I don't know if the stock camera can, but the MIUI camera can function while playing music, while the stock cannot.
Stock can't, but any other 3rd party app can be used while in-call..

Like it has been said, Third party cameras will work. I am a fan of the MIUI camera. Search around for the APK file.
Well, I know that they had stock camera software hacked on the vibrant and they added the GPS location feature to it to maintain privacy.
Sent fromI knitter court the my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I'm not sure what modifications were done beyond just the camera.apk but I know a few Roms for the Epic Touch 4G (Sprints version of the SGS2) has it. You might check their Dev section.

Week if anyone comes across a miui camera apk that works on our phone and can take video please post it here

LED not working?

Can someone please help me? I tried using the LED on the camera and video recording and with a flashlight app and the LED never works for any of them!

What is your current setup? Rom, kernel? Did it work for you before?
Hmm did you wipe before you flashed? If you did try stock or another rom. Like CM9. If it still doesn't work its a Hardware issue

For the camera at the moment you have to toggle from auto to on and back to auto before it will work properly. Functionality for video recording hasn't been sorted out yet. Right now they are concentrating on more "under the hood" type bugs to ensure stability and performance and I'm sure these two things will be on their list at some point.
