I'm experiencing an issue with all recent versions (34 on) where stock camera doesn't work. All I get is a gray screen. I've tried clearing data to no avail. I've also installed camera fx which gets the camera working, but the orientation is broken. Don't understand this bug, but it has transcended 2 different Epic's.

I had that problem. You need to use a new kernel. There is a shadow kernel or samurai available that will fix it.
It's been my experience that the camera generally doesn't work on CM or CM based roms. It escapes me why the kernel developers manage to get the camera working but the cm team doesn't.

I ended up flashing a nandroid of previous working version then flashed milestone 5.2 and the new gapps and the camera works! I didn't clear anything just flashed right over it. I've noticed the camera has been flakey on the CM9 builds, like the flash and focus which are know bugs. I haven't read anyone with this issues I was experiencing. I've been lurking these forums since November of 2010 when I got my Epic, and have been really successful rooting and roming because of it. However I just started to post in the forums so I apologize for posting here. Thanks for all the help.

Flaky is right. Even when the camera "works" on CM9 builds it doesn't work properly. Saying it is sluggish is too kind. Focus is a problem. And try using the camera after taking a video- (hint, it hardly works at all.)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Honestly the camera is the only issue the keeps the CM9 builds from being daily drivers. Otherwise I love the them. A lot of people complain about battery life, but honestly I think having the roms running them is worth it. I even bought a 3500mA battery off amazon for 8 bucks to circumvent the extra battery drain, which also happens to be the best 8 bucks I've spent in a long time. Once the Devs get the camera bugs ironed out I won't see a need to go back to the gingerbread builds.

Broken camera is a Hallmark of CM.
I really loved ICS otherwise, and managed to overlooked the ridiculous battery drain, which I believe has a little to do with shotty sprint service over the past two weeks. Constant loss of signal.
A 3500mah, really? I should have done some better research. I just bought a pair of 1800's off eBay for $10. Kinda disappointed to hear that there is a 3500 that works. And for $8.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yup 8 bucks shipped with Prime membership! Sprint has been upgrading the towers in my area for 8 weeks now and from what I've been told that won't be done until the end of June. The service is so bad now that it's unbearable. Dropped calls, crippling data speeds, sms not going out and or being received. I've complained to Sprint and have been told that the my account will receive a credit once the LTE rollout is complete. I'm not going to hold my breath, but if they don't I might start shopping around for a new carrier as my contract will be up.

I've been flashing everyone's roms since Friday, but none have been fully working, mainly the wifi tether. I'm back on cyan nightlies for now. I was just wondering if any of you know if there is one out yet that is working 100%? Yes I've read and read and read, but you get lost and confused after going through 3000+/- posts on each forum. I appreciate any assistance.

In BakedSnack 1.0 WIFI tether is working with the included APK. I think the only issue is bluetooth which should be fixed in a day or so. Also, my battery is back to lasting 1-2 days intead of being decimated by CM6.
Awesome. Thanks for the info. I don't use Bluetooth anyways, so ill go read up on his some more.

read the cm9 thread in the dev section, does everything you use on your phone work? it'll probably work as a daily then... if so are there posts from people saying its caused their phone to explode, molest their pets, go on strike, become sentient??? no? ok, then flash it, its cyanogenmod dude, it doesn't differ that much from device to device, that's kind of the point of it...
CM9 is good for daily use
I used CM9 for my daily use since alpha 3 launched. It will definitely work for your daily use. I never had any serious issues. It runs greats, my battery life with the proper settings was great. I know i used to have trouble with chrome but I think that's a thing of the past.I ended up using opera, so I never checked to see if chrome worked again or not. However, chrome is working fine on the AOKP milestone 6 Rom, so I would assume it works.
Only other thing I would say is like the other guys said, try a bunch of different Roms till you find what you like. All the devs have done a great job and as long as you have the skills to flash between different Roms I would highly recommend giving any Rom that you think looks interesting a spin for a day or so until you find your favorites.
Hi all - if you're on ICS (I'm using CyanogenMod 9 RC1), you may have noticed that the Camera app doesn't work very well. I've installed the Camera17 app which appears better, but I still need to do some testing.
Low-light situations are key
Flash and autofocus
Video Recording
Front-facing camera (not sure how to enable appropriately in Camera17 from AOKP (I think).
Any others that you are using? Are they good for the above, and posting to Facebook/Dropbox, etc. ?

I think Sprint might of made the Epic a freebie judging by all the noob's if that is the case it is going to worst. (this is a joke not sure if sprint did that or not)
To the OP try CM9 RC2

I think that due to the Epic's prince falling to around $100 (off contract), you can now get Sprint's best slider with ICS/JB, so a bunch or new people are jumping on the device

Yeah and with Sprint and Best Buy offering $60 or less, more are being sold on ebay and Craigslist for under $100. Looks like a new wave of users will be rolling in.

Busted camera is a hallmark of anything CM on the Epic, its how you know you've got the best stuff . I expect mine to work properly about 50% of the time. Running AOKP.
Trollalalala.
And thanks for the Camera ICS tip above, I'll check that out.

Not a n00b, just f'd up. Had the epic for almost two years now.
As to rc2, I'm leery of the issues from the release and don't have the leisure to reflash and fix them currently, but I'm going on a vacation and want the camera functioning .

You could always flash a TW ROM...maybe a real People's kind of ROM
Otherwise maybe try hdr camera app.

Funny thing is that after I cracked my first epic, I got a refurb which started having some issues on clean GB. Odd issues like the home soft key not working, and then Bluetooth not working.
I flashed tpr and was still having radio issues, so I did the full reset with rc1, and it's been mostly solid.
I'll prolly give tpr another shot one of these days, but I got a little shy of some of the extra flashing for bits of troubleshooting I was reading in the thread. Thanks for stepping into the dev realm tho, I love setting where the ROM is going....

So I installed CM9 fairly recently, and I noticed that now my magnetic poles are swapped, north for south. I've tried moving, figure-8, shaking, with some (but not enough) effect, but then it goes back to reversed poles. North-south is spot-on regarding accuracy; just reversed.
TIA for any help

Yeah; I suppose had this happened on the 22nd, or whenever that date is, perhaps I would have wondered huh?
So Droid version is 4.04; CM version is 20120907-EXPERIMENTAL-d710-Beta1
I didn't know it was a known issue; I tried searching the forums, but came up empty-handed. No doubt I missed the thread.
I guess it's been awhile since I installed CM9; I notice there's a good selection of Jellybean ROMS available now, including CM10. I'll perhaps give that a go this weekend. Thank the Droid Overlords for MobileODIN.
Any other advice would be welcome; thanks for letting me know it's not just me!

I'm on cm10.1 and it seems to always freeze and slow down which takes me more time to make calls or get to texts and send them. Get a lot of wait/close notifications and I want to know if there is just a simple epic 4g rom that will respond quickly and not freeze on me when I'm trying to get a girls number for example!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Never got such things in CM10.1 for all 3 devices I installed it on, but if your goal is that simple, reverting to CM7 (highly recommended, speediest of all ROMs I've experienced, because it's GINGERBREAD) or even stock FC09/FC19 is a good idea.

Why do people always ask these questions? Try roms out on your device and find the answers yourself! Each device responds differently.

Nooo people always ask "what is the best rom" I'm not a noob ok I'm asking if anyone uses a rom that doesn't freeze or lag with everything like cm10 does. Your not a moderator and if you can't help then be silent.
Why would a try 10 roms just to see which one simply freezes the least when I could just ask?

Because every phone reacts different to every ROM. My epic hated cm7, but everybody here loved it. You have to try several different ones out for yourself and see which one you and your phone like best.

You may not be a new XDA user or new to flashing, but you have two replies here saying why answering this question is moot.
Either follow Andy's suggestion, or follow mine and frost's and flash roms until you find what works best for you & your device. Plain and simple, lol.
It probably looks like I'm being an asshole here, but we've had this asked so many times over the nearly 4 years this phone has been in production. It got old years ago, and the answer never changed.
Peace out guys, not everyone's a flashaholic I know, but yeah I had been one for about a year and tried so many ROMs so that's why I have a suggestion. If @dertdezzy just lacks time like I do now, then forgive him and let him fetch my answer and enjoy GB, but meanwhile @nikon120 's got a point in there, if there's time you should really use your brain and hand to sort these subjective things out.
Maybe it's time to shut this thread?

Come on, an epic 4g is an epic 4g they are not built differently one at a time..if the same rom works different for some people then its because they are doing something different..I'm sure there's a few roms that people in general agree on as one of the most stable, or the most lag free for example..just in general of course..its not that serious to where I have time to flash a new rom everyday, restore all my settings and set ups just to find the "perfect" rom for me

Actually no. There are differences based on tolerances on how the die is cut for the processors. Some could handle overclocking to 1.5Ghz and others could go no higher than 1.2Ghz. I have 2 no longer in service and at one time running identical software my computer would only recognize one...reinstalled drivers on computer and both were recognized again, Agreed that in most cases it is something different in software and matching up phone for phone in a purely clean flash should yield same results. Now throw in 3rd party apps and themeing and game over.
Yup you right u right, nuff said! But would cm7 and older roms tend to be more what I'm looking for with speed, less lagging and freezing?

They're pretty much stable and good to go. You will have more space for apps on a Gingerbread rom than a ICS/JellyBean rom. Also you should have less RAM used on Gingerbread than the other types as well.
Really you just have to decide either TouchWiz or CM based. If CM, then which OS type. After that point, it's pretty easy reduce the rom list.
On cm7 for past week or so...PERFECT!! EXACTLY what I needed, thanks to the good response I got
