[Q] Green screen when camera is being used.

Everything works properly on my phone, except the camera. Sometimes when I try to take a picture of something, the part of the display showing what the camera is looking at turns green. Check out the screenshot to see what it looks like.
I don't think this is a CM9 related issue. I have dropped my phone quite a few times. Sprint won't even touch my phone because it's rooted and I flashed CM9. I searched around on the forums and found that this may be an issue with the "push on the camera connecter being loose" but I'm not sure and don't plan to open up my phone unless I know exactly what to do. Could this be hardware failure or something else?

+ 1. If voodoo color settings are outta wack it'll cause green screens. If that doesn't fix the issue Odin back to stock update to stock EL30 and then take it to sprint.
Also sprint can deny working on the phone if their is physical damage done from dropping it. Example: scratches and dents on the sides of the phone.

I dont think so currently. Youre going to have to go without sepia on your pics for a while. Its hard to be artsy on android.

Instagram is a app issue with "all" ICS ROMs. It hit and miss as very very few have said it worked for them but majority it does not work.

The app is fully working for me using NexusMod ICS Zero. I admit it wasn't working and was freezing trying to use the filters. But once I did the Fix Permissions Workaround for ICS it is fully working now. It does lag a little on some of the filters but it no longer freezes up the phone or reboots the phone.

Which ROM are you on? Mine uploads fine after the fix permission fix.
Crap...I just updated to the latest Instagram and now mine are pitch black now...lol.

I'm on Racings UCLD Skyrocket ICS, and Instagram actually TECHNICALLY does work now, but it's far from perfect. I've only had one FC though so that's good.
In general its just slow applying the filters at times, and just seems a little "buggy" on my ICS rom. But it does work so I'm not complaining (on the old ICS roms it would just freeze up the entire phone and FC constantly)

On Racing's newest UCLD Skyrocket Rom it seems to work, not great but good enough for me (I was so against going back to Gingerbread that I was prepared to live without Instagram so I'll take what I can get) lol

1/5 times or so, is how often I can get it to work.

The same one as you dude, maybe the next update will fix it.

So how can any of you say it's working when using words like (1 out of 5, lagging, black picture, freezes often)....That my friends is not working so again to not create false hope for any newbies running around trying to get a fix for instagram - It's an app issue with ICS and does not have anything to do with ICS Rom's. Period.

Lol very true. After playing more with instagram I can go ahead and say it doesn't work well enough to warrant using. Mine Freezes on applying filters and when attempting to export photos.
Also the pics that I was able to get edited/uploaded through instagram (after a lot of waiting and semi FC's) I noticed that the quality is severely degraded after it gets uploaded I freely admit I haven't spent much time with instagram (I have a real camera and use LR3 and CS5 when I want to do some photography) but is it normal for it degrade the quality so much?
After my pics were uploaded they looked they were shot with the front facing camera on my T-989 lol

I wonder if we all wrote them. Maybe they can help resolve the issues. Here's the link.

Browser bug that's been present on every ICS build!

Ok I've never had any real problem with ICS but this one bug drives me crazy and I never see anyone mention it here. Whenever I'm listening to music and try to browse the Web it just constantly keeps scrolling up. This happens every time the speaker is in use. If I use a wired headset or my my stereo bluetooth set to listen to music it does not do this. It even happens if you get a text message and your notification plays so it's definitely related to the speaker. I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets this so why is it never brought up? Maybe a fix from one of our wonderful devs?? I've been avoiding dl'in a third party browser but I guess maybe it's time

Lol guess I'm alone on this. Thinking about trying chrome and see if it works. I just hate having two browsers. That's why I got rid of Dolphin.. And I was bored of it too! The reason I use the stock is cuz I like that inverted rendering option to save battery.

I was curious so I tried this on FI03 and can't duplicate it. I tried with poweramp and the built in music player. What are the exact steps you take to get that to happen? I want to see if I can reproduce it.

It's been a problem for me in every ICS builds since I've had this phone. I don't take no steps I just have any music app whether it's the built in music player or Pandora playing and if I try to use the browser it's a p.i.t.a because it'll just keep scrolling up unless I stop my music. Even if I'm not listening to music and a text comes in the sound makes it scroll up. Something about my speaker and browser are not playing nicely with each other. It's plain weird. I'm using chrome at the moment and the issue is gone with it. So far I hate it tho. Can't even set a home page wth lol

Read about it on Lifehacker, how's it working out for you?

This is pretty interesting, might give it a try.

Nice. Downloading to give a try. I thought I saw some devs talking about incorporating this into some ROMs?

Weird. So it could actually work on a TW ROM?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

So has anyone tested this yet?

Tried it on cm9 (Shabby's latest nightly). Some things work, others don't and some will cause the script to hang. It looks like the build.prop tweaks applied and the init.d items copied to the appropriate folder, though I really can't notice a whole heaping difference myself so I don't know if they actually did anything, and the script itself ran out of the box. The not working list looks to consist of things that probably just need a little E4GT love from our devs to button everything up straight. And (at least for me) installing the Smart Stay app froze the whole process but after a reboot I found that it installed the app.
Just my .02¢, others could probably give a much better run down but I just wanted to play with it so it only seemed right to share what I noticed.
Props to the Dev and OP. I'm very fond of this idea, and thankful it was shared.
UPDATED: OK so I got bored and tried it on PA 2.16 and got a little better luck (ie didn't freeze once and actually installed everything I had selected.)

I'm also on PA and it doesn't cripple anything, but I don't see a very dramatic difference in much of the overall operation. I was hoping it'd help battery life but it seems no different. The Sony music player is kind of cool, and the CPU governors seem to kick in. I guess one would have to really dig in to see the difference. But I'm stoked on this kind of mod coming out.

Another update: I've tried it on aosp jb and ics and touchwiz ics. Still no huge differences anywhere on any rom but it's useful to add beats and a file manager on roms that dont have one out of the box amongst other things. I hope to see this come out of development strong as it's a nice concept

I've noticed more steady battery life.

Which tweaks did you use, if you remember? Ver 2.0 has had a small improvement over the original so maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention. I must say the update alone makes this worth trying once.

This seems promising. I can't speak to any battery life improvement yet but the phone does feel snappier.

I installed v2 and here is my find running few tweaks.
Browser seems a bit faster
Touch input seems more accurate and responsive
Battery is hard to tell but maybe added 30mins extra screen on time
I flashed sony music and beats, but I can't find them... not sure whats up lol
Regardless, everything seems a bit more responsive?

Smartstay is quite handy. Especially for pron

I've only ever gotten the Awesome Beats app from Pimp my Rom, which is just a modded DSP manager. The Sony apps are a music player and gallery, which are pretty nicely polished, with quite a few addons for them. What is this acid audio app you mentioned? Not that I'm doubting you, I've just never run across it so I'd like to check it out.

This was posted up for the GNex guys but I figured everyone with a rooted phone would appreciate it. Everything works except photosphere, and I must say the new way of accessing options is on the fly fast. This is s great improvement. Enjoy!

Working photosphere
I haven't tested yet, but im about to flash it
edit: ok it works if you make the edits to the build.prop as mentioned in that thread. Thing is i think the sensors might be a little screwy on our phone. I'm running paranoid 2.5 and its a little off. Don't know if its the rom but its off
Everything else works great though

I edited my build.prop and flashed this, it looks like a great idea but it doesn't seem to like the gyroscope in the E4GT very well. Everything is backwards.

I flashed the patched version (works on any phone with a gyro without editing build.prop) from Android Police. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...gallery-app-with-new-ui-editing-photo-sphere/
It works fine, and the panorama mode loads and starts to work. However, my gyro is all over the place. left is up, right is diagonally off somewhere, etc etc. I wonder if this is unique. Did / can someone try it out and see if the gyro works right on our device?

So is this worth installing?

Yep, same problem here. Up is left and down is right, left is up and right is down. It's like it uses portrait movements when in landscape mode, etc.

No. Don't worry, its safe to flash. Its just that when you edit your build.prop the xda app picks that up and puts it in your sig lol I don't have a gNex lol

Oh ok haha thanks! Interesting that it did that

Every app reads the build.prop to see what the model is. Since we changed it to say Galaxy Nexus instead of SPH-D710, the XDA app reads the phone as a Nexus. Not very complicated at all.
