[Q] [ROM] MotoGinger 2.3.4 (4th test)

Hey Guys,
Just installed the latest [ROM] MotoGinger 2.3.4 (4th test). The camera screen does not seem to be working. Not sure if I am doing something wrong.
If I take the picture the photo comes out fine but just can't see the viewfinder on the screen when I am trying to take the pic.
Anybody else had this problem?
Thanks

Do you have 2ndinit installed?
If yes put boot on normal instead of recovery and it will work fine again.

I'm not overly familiar will the situation, but I believe it may be that you have a green lensed defy. Their cameras don't work with the stock gingerbread leaks, but if you install the mod by simplestas it should work.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Is there any other way other than looking at the lens to see what colour it is? The phone is brand new, about 3 weeks old but we might have got old stock here which would be a bit of a bummer.

Are you sure you dont have 2ndinit on booting your phone going into bootmenu?

Apparently you can tell by the size of the image file created, less than 1MB is supposed to be a green lenses and a file size of around 1.4MB is red. But as you said the camera isn't working properly, that would be difficult to test without reflashing a lower version of android.

I do have 2ndInit going into the boot menu. must I make it go into normal boot by default?
If I do, how do I get back into 2ndInit afterwards?
Flashed back to 2.3.4 stock for now but will try again if this will fix the camera

You got it mate. I installed 2ndInit again. rebooted. Camera stopped working. Uninstalled it, rebooted and it works fine.
Thanks for the help.
Need to flash the phone gain Might try a different mod this time round
Oh, and btw, I installed the 720p patch. I could not record at 640x480. still not HD ready but way better than what it was doing before (320x240) (unless I just changed the settings ) getting late. time to go to bed

You can install 2ndinit just choose normal boot. 720p only with LGcamera app.

Captivate Glide Recording Failed on Camera

I have looked everywhere before this post so my apologies if this is an incorrect posting, my ATT captivate glide camera says RECORDING FAILED nearly every time i open the camera app, i have tried clearing cache through multiple apps and through the recovery boot, and multiple camera apps like pudding camera, i've uninstalled every app i can think of that may interfere with the camera as well, i have also rooted my device hoping this would help, a reset will not help, a reflash of the rooted rom will not help either, i am open to try anything suggested as i trust the developers in this forum, i posted this as a new thread to see if anyone else has the same problem, thank you for your time and effort, it means a lot to us that are learning

Never seen that and I use the camera pretty regularly. Bum device maybe?

Never had this problem as well, I think you might have got a defective unit.

if you use your external SD card as storage, better check that one. If you use internal SD, you can check if you have a DCIM folder in it, try creating it manually if you do not see any.

i tried the dcim folder idea, now have a folder in usb storage, sd, and external sd, no luck but thank you

I found a thread with a promising solution, i deleted my camera.apk with titanium backup and got a camera mod here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104051 , it's working now, i hope it continues to, i will post an update later if anyone else is having this problem, thanks to all involved

Still not resolved

I never had an issue with mine as well I would take it back to where you got it and let them see the issues perhaps they can swap it with another for you.

Can someone upload the original camera.apk and camera.odex from their device please
I can't warranty... rooted...

Can't you just put back the original rom.back to stock then warranty. Can't help you with the apk as I am not rooted sorry.

i'm waiting on a usb jig to get here to reset my binary download counter... after that i can warranty but until then i would like to solve the problem if i can, i think an app is running commands that are conflicted with the cam... i'm methodically uninstalling apps and clearing cache partition.... it seems to get cam working for a few hours... sometimes

Need firmware
i checked my firmware using *#34971539# and it displayed null.... i need someone to upload the actual firmware please, or at least tell me what version they have.... thanks

Firmware
OK, here's where I'm at now... someone was kind enough to upload me the firmware, i install it and reboot my device and it works for about 5 minutes then fails again, i honestly think something is running in my device that is interfering with the camera.... if anyone has any ideas they would be appreciated...

I'm gonna try this again, camera still only working intermittently (about 10%).... in the service menu my cam firmware is null, a phone to cam fw write just reboots my device, i put the rs_m5ls.bin in the root of my SD card before write, not sure if i am doing this correctly, if i do a cam to phone fw dump i get a m5mo_dump.bin in the root of my SD card as well, I've formatted cache, data, system and reinstalled ICS ROM by jayjayjoker, I've flashed the stock GB firmware from samfirmware via Odin, and tried the firmware write every way i could think of each time... can anyone please explain how the firmware works with the ROM and driver, maybe i will understand it better or even detailed steps on the correct installation of firmware, I'm sure I'm missing something and the only info i can find is all spread out and not necessarily clear when i do find it, if any of you devs have any ideas please help.... thanks for your time, this is very frustrating

Hi can anybody assist me please I am trying to install the new camera all onto my Samsung glide, I have read that I use Root Explorer go to system/app and rename camera.apk and install the new file in its place.
But my problem is root explorer says that the system file is read only and cannot be renamed how do I get round this rather than using the Odin for my computer.
My issue with the camera is when in landscape it works perfect but when I switched to portraits the screen goes blank.
Many thanks.

do u have cwm on ur phone? reboot ur phone into recovery then choose advance and choose fix permission, wait until finish, then reboot ur phone after it finish

Unfortunately I have the same problem. My camera does not work anymore. I just receive the message "Camera failed". I still have the stock rom installed and I did not modify too much (I just installed some apps). I have already reset the phone to factory settings which did not solve my problem. Does anybody have an idea what I could try to fix the problem?

Please help...
I just have formatted my device and flashed it with a stock rom. Unfortunately it did not solve my problem with the camera. I still got the error message "camera failed" when I click on the camera app. Any ideas? Is it a hardware problem? Should I flash a custom rom?

I got that message once, and I panicked. Fortunately, rebooting did it just fine.
Perhaps there is something wrong with the firmware...I searched the net and found this article, maybe useful, IDK.

Thanks for the reply and for the link. Unfortunately I do not understand step 3. When I scroll to "Camera" I do not see a 2nd option which should be named as "user". I just see "camera" and "camcorder". What should I do? Do I have to root the phone?

ok, I have rooted my phone and I have tried the fix described in the link above again. However, I was not successfull. I do not get these options described in the link ("user"). Maybe I am using a wrong version of Pro Launcher. I just downloaded the new version from market...Anyone with a suggestion/idea?

Camera failed
I used to face this problem quite a lot when i was using the stock rom, but after flashing to cow's rom, the problem went away, no more camera failed anymore

Yesterday after upgrade to baseband v. i8150dxlc1 Kernel [email protected]#3 (KIES UPGRADE) i dont have that problem anymore

Need Help with Camera Please!!

Okay so i just got my lg g4 yesterday and its my first lg phone after many years of samsung. I installed a custom Rom right away but...
1. My camera keeps crashing especially when i toggle the manual mode
2. Also,i have noticed that there isnt any dedicated button for front facing camera in the camera ux,how can i get that?
3. I have tried other cameras,like G5 ported camera and v10,same thing.
Im running Imperium rom 5.0 with simplgx kernel.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This one is abit off topic,but i figured id rather ask here than to create a dedicated thread for it....Whenever i apply a custom font,it doesn't take effect system wide,like in whatsapp and other apps,what can i do to fix that?

Thanks but im at the end of the cliff.
Here's what i did:
1. Reflashed the rom like 3 times.
1a. I ported the camera from genysis rom,set permissions and rebooted
2. I flashed a different rom (genysis) with full wipes
3. I then flashed a kdz with lgup. Twice
4. I completely erased everything from the phone with lg up.
5. I downloaded 3rd party cameras (open camera and hd camera from play store)
Everything i did didnt bring back my front facing camera. I did a bit of searching and realized that its a common problem. Dang! A faulty new phone!!!

OP3 phone is un-usable please help!

Hi everyone,
I have an issue with my wife's OP3 that is driving me nuts.
Her phone runs stock OS without any changes but with an unlocked bootloader (just to be on the safe side i like to have an unlocked bootloader on all our devices).
I'm not sure if its related but I'm including it anyways she was playing a game on her phone and then she received a call and she answered it and tried to switch the call to speakerphone and the phone started rebooting right after booting the OS after 2-5 sec i would say "factory data reset" (see attached screenshot) and would reboot to the recovery.
then i would boot the phone again and the issue repeats itself.
so i used fastboot boot twrp.img to boot a recovery image and run a nadroid backup to a USB OTG just in case the phone is really hosed or whatnot.
I downloaded stock zip from oneplus's site and flashed it again from TWRP just to make sure its not some funky issue that happened to the os.
I even factory reset the phone from stock recovery and the issue would happen on the new phone setup wizard.
after a bunch of fiddling around I've flashed LineageOS 16 nightly and the phone boots normally and is fully usable but when i try to make or receive a call the phone app freezes and then crashes also sound doesn't seem to work when i try to play videos from youtube for example.
Any ideas what is the issue and how i can resolve it ?
thanks a bunch !!

Take a backup of your personal files and then wipe system, data, internal storage and both caches. Then flash OOS 5.0.8 and without adding any apps, check the calling function. If it still happens, then most likely a hardware issue.

No, She did not do anything out of the ordinary. But weirdly I have exactly the same things happening. Lineage works but no sound. Everything else factory resets. I have tried quite a few ROM'swithout any luck. So far the only ROM which worked for some time(1day) was 6.0.1 . I have spent quite a long time on this flashing various ROM and dont know what to do now.

Update: @ireaper4592 might have a point here. I have gone one level up and I tried msm v3.0 tool, thus doing a complete reinstall including firmware. The factory resetting stopped but the sound was not working (I thought that it could be the ROM and the security patches). So I updated to the latest ROM available from Oneplus and evrything has been working since. I did this last night so not sure how long this is going to stay like that. I will give it some time and update later. Wife is using it now!

what you will need to do is download the oneplus 3 recovery tool and put the phone into qualcolm mode and restore the phone that way. here is a link https://www.androidexplained.com/oneplus-3-unbrick-return-stock/

That tool/procedure will reset your phone. So you will lose everything on the phone. Take a backup beforehand.
