[Q] [ROM] MotoGinger 2.3.4 (4th test) - Defy General

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.

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

[Q] entire screen not being used...

hi, im not sure if anyone else has encountered this problem, but ive had my desire hd for a few weeks now and its been working great. i rooted and flashed with hd revolution and again everything worked great.
now today i flashed an updated verison of that rom and when it had rebooted i noticed that the whole screen is suddenly not being used. a few milimeters on the right hand side and top of the screen and the image is slightly squashed to fit into that space.
i rebooted a few times and did a battery pull before thinking it must be a bug in the new build of that room and restored the room i backed up just before upgrading. but the problem is is there :/
not only that is present on all boot levels, so when your booting its there and in fastboot or recovery :/
could this be a hardware problem? has anyone else encountered this?
sorry if ive not explained this very well
thanks
must be a bug... what i suggest is do a full wipe and then flash a fresh rom...see if that solves ur problem doode
not only that is present on all boot levels, so when your booting its there and in fastboot or recovery :/

If you download the PD98IMG.zip for the downgrade thread and place on your SDcard, boot into bootloader (not recovery) your phone will restore itself to HTC stock firmware.

[ROM] CM 7 for BRAVO (No modifications) Camcorder working!

CM7 for BRAVO (No modifications)!!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HKY4OVEI
Try it and post any issues or problem!!
Well all this is thanks to rdannar, I just take his lastest CM7 rom (CM7 V5) and changed everything back to stock, accelerometer and backlight buttons are working also.
No action snap is installed, to install Fast burst Camera (zoom and autofocus) go to this thread to download it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272161
I used 2nd init defy and remember to follow the next (always used) steps:
1) copy the rom to your sdcard
2) boot into 2nd init defy -> recovery -> stable recovery
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition
5) advance -> wipe dalvik cache
6) install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard
7) reboot
To take photos use Fast Burst Camera.
Do not use Defy Baseband Switcher if your 3G is working!!
I'm liking it so far!
Is there any way future ones (at least once you get to "production" runs) could NOT include the old swype? Sort of a pain to remove it to install Swype beta...
great rom! at the moment after two days of use I have not found still no defect. (before I used the rom v2 of rdannar). thanks

Nice, I think everybody should help so we get camera working.
Thats the only issue we have to work with.
Defy developers do the rest!!
STUCK!
Ok I got the camera to preview and it clicks if i use the settings that match the stock Bravo but all it saves as a file is a black screen. Can somebody please give me the stock 2.2.1 sbf file decompiled and changed to a .zip or something.
For something at least I have fast burst camera up and working. Now that I think, I need to get source codes. All of the codes for 2.2.1 camera for bravo, and the codes that are in the gingerbread CM7 rom.

Thanks! But I'll have to unzip it and see what it all is. I'm not caring about deodexed files I just want something that I can look at on my computer just like the CM7 mods that are zipped and archived. Easier to look at for hours.
Umm, all it gave me was a file called external.tar. What do I do with it? took me two hours to download.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Ok this is what i'm looking for. Froyo 2.2.1 for the bravo, not in .sbf but in the way it would be if we were using it like the CM7 rom. Opened and in the order just like I can see it on my phone with Super Manager in File Explorer rooted mode. And need to know if some of us want CM7 WITH or WITHOUT BLUR.
I'll just see if I can make two versions. One with and one without so no fighting. But i will need testers.

------------------------------------------------------------------
About external.tar, I havent worked with that before, no codes for me by now, I have just changed files and zipped roms.
Im here to try, my two bravos are fine to test everything.
For me it doesnt matter about having blur or not, but I prefer GINGERBLUR , anyway we need a fully working gingerbread rom. (everthing will come after it)
What I need.
Ok. I need to have the regular 2.2.1 for the bravo in the exact same way as if we downloaded the CM7 rom that is 2.3.4. The regular 2.2.1 that I have now is just the .sbf file for use with RSD Light just in case I really screw up my phone. Just like windows restore............ Anywho i'm working on right now building the stock 2.2.1 bravo file system by using a stock factory bravo and copying all of the root files onto the SD card to put them on my computer. I'll be going through all of the crap and looking at the CM7 roms to find out what is diffrent. I need somebody who can zip the stuff so it can be loaded with 2ndint. This will then allow me to put this newish rom into beta. Or if someone can find or give me the program that zips everything for 2ndint to use. I will attach sometime what I pulled off of my Bravo for a better understanding of what I want.

[Q]Black line problem when I using CM7 Mod

Hi XDA,
As you can see my Attached Thumbnails,when I use the camera apps(build-in CM7 Camera and other camera apps), there are some black line in the preview mode but the photo I taken didn't have these black line. This situation is only happen in CM7 ROM, the officual ROM doesn't have these problem. In the past I flashed CM7.1 into my gio phone, I got the same black line problem when I playing the video.
can somebody please help me to solve it?
THX
Sorry for my bad English
If you have this problem only in the camera, then these are the "guidelines" , which are to help you when taking a photo. You have to search for them and turn it off at the camera's settings.

I don't think this black lines are the "guidelines" because I reboot the phone,the black lines will disappeared. However,when I idle the phone a while and open the camera, the black lines are come back. Also I got the same black lines when I playing the videos(especially in CM7.1)
Now I back to use the official ROM.
Its a total diverend isue and has nothing to do with your camera.
It has something to do with your screen, not that the screen is defective but something with the drivers.
There is no fix for it, not that i am aware of.....
Are you install it right according the installation guide ?
Have you tried to reinstall ?
Anyway, which version of Gio do you use ? the GT-S5660 or SHW-M290S/K one ?
CM7 only support Gt-S5660 version

Try CM7.2 and see how is it. Remember to Wipe factory reset after installing Rom. If it repaired, try stock ROM like gingerbread and let us know how it is going

I done it long time ago but the problem continued in CM7.2
Stock ROM is fine
I had a similar problem with CM7.1, exept it wasn't black lines, but semi transparent squares. It happened, after I installed a camera app (don't remember, which one). Did you install any app that uses your camera? (My problem went away after installing 7.2)

Did you change the battery before using the camera??? I discovered that it may make the transparent squares happened.

[Q] Unusual issues with camera!

I actually this time have no idea what happened to this phone, but after reinstalling the OS the phone's camera began to work... Up until a day later it stopped working again. So i moved on from CM10.1 to Blackout ICS, which went well I suppose, up until two days later it died again, it just goes to a black screen when launching the camera app, if i have music playing that will stop, and the phone will be unable to play music for a minute or so, im touching on reformatting the SD Card, but before i do that i want to know if theres any ways to get the camera going again, and if theres any hardware faults (which is unlikely because when it works it works perfectly)

I think you misunderatood the question, if one of your mods are causing the problems, do you know which one? If yes then why do you install it? If no then reinstall the rom with no mods at allfor a few days then add one of the mods and wait a few more days to see if everythings ok and keep doing that until you can identify which mod is causing the problem. Id do a nandroid before installing each mod. Once identified the mod thats the issue, restore the bavkup from just before it was installed and dont reapply the mod, either do without it or look for an alternative

Running Jedi X17 and Camera wont work

The picture shows up fine in the preview window but when i tap the preview or goto gallery it shows up with a gey icon of generic image thats broken and no sign of the picture. This happens with front and rear facing camera. Any ideas ? It did it before I did a cache and delvik wipe and reinstalled the rom and still borked.
Am running deviant jedi ( i think theme )
tried video same deal get a " cant open storage/extsdcard/dcim/camera/53453546.mp4 to play
tried to access files directly from root explorer and .jpg said cannot load image and .mp4 said cannot play video
My phone is doing the exact same thing. I see the picture but when I click on it, it either shows a broken pic symbol or it just goes to an older pic...I've searched both my SD and my internal mem to no avail. This happens with both the front and rear cameras.
I have been running x17 since the day it was released and have just now noticed this. My camera is very important in my line of work and I just realized this caused me to lose all the pictures I took last week that are supposed to be turned into my boss. Not happy. Should we go back to an earlier version?
Also, my theme is the s4 theme that comes with the rom.
Mines fine! Have you upgraded to the latest saber kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I have not...I assumed it included the latest with the rom. Bad assumption, I suppose. Will the kernel affect whether the camera app works and saves pictures? Gonna flash the latest one and see if it makes a difference...
EDIT: I just flashed latest saber kernel and nothing changed.

kernels are not included with any jedi roms to my knowledge . I re installed again and used stock theme and camera is working now .

interesting. i checked the feature list and it does include saber kernel...maybe the camera was corrupted during the flash. either way, i appreciate the info and will reflash.

If you are seeing the preview ok than the file is still there, you didn't lose it. Just need another way to access it. Computer for example.
They way I solved it was . Do a factory restore, reinstall jedi rom and Don't do the memory swap option. Try it out let us know if it worked for you
