Some camera help please - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Could someone help me out & explain why my EVO's camera would be force closing when starting up no matter the ROM I use?
Any help appreciated!

You need to come with a little more info than that....
What ROM, and are you using a custom kernel?
Camera problems are often a result of the kernel not being compatible with the ROM you are using.

Thanks for the reply.

I'd try the tiamat or salvage zens kernel with that rom.

Just flashed Tiamat,click the camera icon & I automatically get a black screen followed by a force close.

Weird

Could be that the camera module itself has come loose from the camera port on the board. Use a T5/T6 torch remove the back housing and press down on all four corners of the camera module. Snap housing back on and power up phone, test.

Questions on bonsai 4.0

First and formost my phone is on stock eb13 with genocide kernel, rfs, and rooted with oneclickroot v2.5.5 and am still really new to all of this so please help me out.
First I was wondering if I can flash bonsai right away or if I need the new clockwork 3.x with ext4?
Second I was wondering if anyone on this rom is having any of the same battery charging problems as those caused by the new syndicaterom with twilight kernel on ext4?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Pretty sure Bonsai scans your phone and formats it for EXT4 if it isn't already. It backs up your data and restores it, too. Just do a complete backup then flash it. If it is a no go, just restore.

Mine charges fine while off.
Anyone using Sprint Navigator? Please check how many satellites it finds under Share & More/Diagnostics. I have 2 epics, 1 on Bonsai and 1 with just stock and Genocide, and both report 1 satellite and 10% GPS. GPSTest reports 9 Satellites and Google Nav works fine (hate the voice and graphics).
Thanks.
Can't install extras...
I tried installing the removed apps, and when running from "Install from SD Card" it says it is aborted and not installed. Any secret I am missing out on?

Live Wallpaper
I installed the missing live wallpaper files to the system/app folder on the phone but I cant get them to show up. I read something about changing the permission of the files, but have no idea how to do it.
Help!
Love the Rom so far!
~G
Finally found it. Used Ghost Commander to change the permissions. Live Wallpaper is back but some seem to be missing from the stock selection that came with the phone. No worries.
Okay I finally pulled everything off and now have bonsai4all on my phone but for some reason I can't connect to wifi any more? It does come up, and I did save the ip address, but now, for some odd reason, it won't connect to it... help?

Just go to the Development section, and any threads that are kernel threads will have it in the thread name, like [KERNEL]...
Chad, Ziggy471, Lou, are some of my favs just to name a few. For Sense you need a Sense kernel, ASOP needs ASOP, don't flash ASOP to a Sense ROM or vice versa.

1) Was it working before you rooted?
2) Are you referring to the native hdmi capabilities, or hdmi mirroring (HDMwIn from teamwin)? Or both?
3) Are you positive that you're cable is good, and that the port on your Evo is clean and dust free? (i'd hope it is, since you just got it)
If you're using one of the full hdmi apps, are you on the modified kernel? Did you try changing resolutions?
What ROM are you using anyways? Are you sure hdmi is supported with the ROM you're using?
I am running kings unleashed rl2. Yes it was working before root.cable is fine tried on friends evo worked perfect

Hmm, I'm really not sure. I've never had that happen, my hdmi has always worked on any sense ROM. I suppose that if I was having that problem, I would try wiping cache, davlik cache, and flashing a different kernel. If that still failed, I would try a complete wipe and reflash of the rom. I'm just guessing with those things, just basic stuff to try first, if you haven't already. I've never noticed (or don't remember) anyone having this issue before, so I don't know what else to suggest, other than wiping, trying a different kernel, reflashing of the rom, or a different rom. I was r2 a week ago or so, and hdmi was working fine for me, but I don't recall which kernel I was on.
Did u reboot try reflashing the stock rooted rom and test

Just flash one of the HDMI kernels and download the free app from the market. Also make sure your HDMI port on your phone is clean.

Flash this zip right after you flash the rom. Since this is basically the version I posted in the ATT forum this zip will change the build.prop to show T999 instead of i747 http://d-h.st/loh Everything will work without flashing the zip but your phone will be identified as a i747 not a t999]
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you flash this and your device gets bricked or anything happens to your device from flashing this.
Devs: Feel free to use this as your base
reserved for me...
I'll take this one too

For anyone with issues with MMS. Try this apk. It's the modified one from my BJ rom, but with the theming removed

Before anyone asks, It's just the apk, it's not a flashable zip.

I'll have a fix for that. It was my absentmindedness that forgot to update the libs when I updated the rom today. there is a short term way to fix it(if you prefer the stock kernel) until I can upload a updated one with the correct libs. You can flash ktoonsez's custom kernel and it will fix the wifi as it has the correct libs. I'll be able to upload a fix later (as long as I still have power if the storm is as bad as they say it's going to be)

I actually kinda like it, Because you can hold it one handed if you need to zoom in. It's useful on the nyc subway when you're holding a handrail and reading through things when I can only use one hand. but yeah, there should be an option to turn it off
Loving this, great with ktoonz new kernel.. And tapatalk works! Thanks for your efforts man!

Buttons not functioning

Anyone ever have the home, menu, back, and search keys not function properly? Doesn't seem to be an issue with the ROM as I have tried a couple and have the problem on both all of a sudden.
By not function properly, I mean not function at all. Hitting those buttons has no effect.
Any ideas?

Thinking about going back to stock to see if that fixes it, but really don't want to.

No, don't have a screen protector on. I haven't heard of them not working either. Unfortunately, my phone is my only source of internet access for the next few days. So its not easy to do much research.
