[Q] HTC Desire Camera stops on videos recording

Hello Every 1
I am not a noob but have to survive on this matter. I have HTC Desire with S-Off
I installed Aurora v04 Rom and I had asked this in the roms replying page but got no answer there. Now the problem is that when I start Video recording the camera stills for 2 seconds and my desire auto reboots. If any body can help me then It would be thank full. I love aurora v04 rom and its all features but just the camera issue is my damn target. I have used many HTCcamera.apk 's but had the same problem please bear with me if this question is already asked or answered.

Try another rom?

I don't like to change the rom while I have tried 15-20 roms but I got Aurora v04 the best so what should I do to make my camcorder work fine

I have changed my rom Aurora v04 to v4.1
I have changed my rom v04 to v4.1 but my camcorder still reboots my desire when ever I wanted to record some video brothers please give me some suitable solution so I should not go to official froyo back please make me happy to enjoying this rom.

Try the latest version (v5) of this Rom.

I've used Aurora and honestly, this is way faster and more stable, and has all the same features/tweaks (maybe more!!)
It's my daily Rom now and the videocamera works fine
Make sure you have CM7r2 hboot.
Good luck man

it depends on your ROM and support of the kernel for that ROM (or vice versa ).
i am using tiamat (details in my signature). You need to try diff. kernels and see which one is best & stable for your rom. you can use "ultimate_kernel_cleaning_script_v2_by_lippol94.zip" script before flashing the kernel. you can find the download in xda forum.

I hope you know what you're doing as you can't "overclock a ROM" but the cpu only
Regarding recommendations I can't help though as I don't know those roms.

I think, Sympfinity is good.

Im french so i don't speak english very well.But yes when i was talking to oc it was for cpu.
I already try symp kernel but the wifi don't work after flash it.Did anyone have the nfinity kernel and can upload it? I never try it .Somebody say that the best kernel for ics but i don't found this kernel.
Sent from my Wildfire using xda premium

Isn't the stock kernel that comes with cm9 arco's nfinity? Just reflash the rom to get the old kernel back, which is also overclockable.

seems like the WIFI of ErwinP:'s ICS build works if I'm not mistaken (don't know what kernel it has, though)
nFinity: arco has put flashable zips into this post a while ago - don't know if it's most current version though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015532
There's also this one which you could try (seen it in many threads): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471

Custom rom help

I am a new user of the HTC DHD, i wanna know if there is any rom that has the least bugs and good battery as i am on the official 2.3.5 android and the battery life is making me wana die, i need my wifi all the time so please suggest a rom which has no problem with wifi and app running
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app

Which rom do you currently use ? the stock one ?
If so, Sense consumes a bit more battery than AOSP roms.
I used to have Cyanogenmod 7.2 with LordModUE 8.9b7 kernel. And it is very very good.
That's for GB roms.
Both JellyTime and IceColdSandwhich roms are good too (but still in beta).
But Wifi is far from being cool with a battery ... Wifi is energy-greedy!!

If you wand the stock HTC look a recommend android revolution
If you wand better performances and battery life use AOSP(android open source project) or Cyanogenmod of AOKP(android open kang project)
Ice cold sand witch have verry good battery life (only bug is camcorder for wat I know)

Which one do u recommend? Aosp or aokp?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app

Cyanogenmod 7.2 is rock stable !
Most of the GB rom are very stable too, and almost bug free.
You have to try each rom, Sense feeling ? Aosp one ?
I used SmartDroid for a long time and really enjoyed it.
Newer roms, 4.0 or 4.1 based are still buggy and lack some features but are already very fast and gives you the most recent android experience.
It's up to you to find the one that fits your needs.
One more point, updating your Radio can be good for your battery too.
I personnaly use 26.14.04.28_M without any issue. (but I may update it now, as I've just flashed Jelly time )

I think i'll go for the cyanogen 7.0, does it give a better battery life?
And btw what is "kernal" and which one should i use and how?

Go for 7.2 instead of 7.0
7.2 is the stable one for Desire HD: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=ace
A kernel is the core of the operating system. To extremely sum up, it deals with your hardware and your programs.
Installing a new one can give you some optimizations, better response, better battery etc.
I personally used the LordModUE kernels. Here is a direct link for the lastest version: http://blackice.omca.co.uk/download...ger-kernels/lordmodUEv8.9-CFS-b7-2WCR-TUN.zip
But be aware that to flash a kernel, you need to first boot with the kernel of the rom (here the CM one), then flash the new one.

First of all, and prior to flashing any rom, you need to perform a nandroid backup.
This is a backup of your current ROM, making an image of each partition, to be able to restore it later, in case of a crash or anything else.
Once you've rooted your phone, a recovery should be installed.
To perform a nandroid backup, you reboot into recovery and choose "backup".
Or, you can install Rom Manager from the market, and choose the same option.
Once this is done, and only after this, you're good to flash any rom you want !
Another method exits to reflash the stock rom, using RUU.
I won't explain this as you can find your answer on this forum.
EDIT: don't forget to check MD5 or SHA1 sum to check the ROM/kernel integrity you download.

I use camera a lot is there any jelly bean custom mod with a working camera cause I am now bored to look at the dame gingerbread is since past 1 yr almost....want some change....
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app

As far as I know, Jelly Time has a working stock camera app.
Actually, video recording in 720p is the only issue. Then, yes, I can take pictures with the stock app on Jelly Time ROM (currently beta 11).
If you want to record a video, you'll have either to change the resolution to 480p or use another app from the market (Videocam Illusion I believe, didn't test it though).
More information here.
The others JB based ROMs are currently too immature for now, and are not as stable as JellyTime.
Also, please be warn that you need to read the opening post (OP) carefully, the moderators are getting annoyed with all the same questions, which answers can be found in the OP.

Advance Ace Hack Kit - a tool developed by former xda member attn1 used to root, SIM Unlock & ENG S-OFF (ENG S-OFF allows you to flash custom ROM's without security checks e.g. md5 checks, bypassing restrictions placed by HTC on our device). He removed the link to it from the forums as he left xda due to personal reasons. Search attn1 ace hack kit on google to find it, as he hosts it on his website now

Yes your contacts, data and all personal data will be wiped upon flashing a new ROM, as flashing a ROM almost always requires you to wipe the data partitions. I reccomend you backup all of your data to avoid it. If your android and Sense version is android 2.3.5 and Sense version 3.0 then then you will have to downgrade your software version then attempt root

ics kernels for sense (fix miui v4 video playing) **update

fix miui v4 video problems
here are ics kernels included in viper rom (chinese ota kernel) and tazz's rom (leak kernel) to be used in other sense ics roms.
I actually made these to work with miui v4 as those have garbled video.
Any other rom which needs kernel updated can use this without any problems.
All credits should go to nitsuj17, tazzpirate and microdroid. All I did was extract kernel and hardware drivers from their roms and make a kernel update pakage.
flashing these kernels will fix garbled video problem in miui. both f these have working wifi and data. tested. these will not wipe data but make a backup just in case.
there's no point of flashing these kernels for a viper user. but tazz user may flash viper kernel to fix occasional wifi drop issue
flash only one.!! either tazz's one or viper one
thanks. :good: :laugh:
new version added. people having problems can try flashing that
Any one still having problems with these kernels just flash this boot.img from 4ext recovery after flashing the kernel zip fie.

I'm familiar with Viper's kernel since I've used viper rom but how does it differ from the one Tazz used? Is it just the Viper one having the wifi fix or is there more? Better yet is there even a reason to use Tazz's over Viper's?

I flashed the viper kernel over Miui and it gets stuck at the white HTC screen. Anyone else?

I think only viper kernel has fixed WiFi drop issue. Tazz kernel hasn't fixed it. And tazz kernel has some graphic driver issues so some items doesn't render properly in some games.
