[Q] JB rom with working camera and video? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, i already anticipate replies based on "use the damn search", ...please do us all a favor and don't clutter the thread with that kind of posts, try to max your posts number somewhere else :silly:
Anyhow, atm i have tried to install few JB roms on my HTC Desire GSM, the latest i have installed is JellyNow(btw: battery friendly), but still the same problems remain, the damn camera works but not so stable, often results in soft restart and when watching video as well(sometimes)
Is there a stable JB rom with camera and video working?
Please reply with posts where you can speak from your own experience, everything else is without arguments.
Thank you all in advance

Simple answer is NO.
There are Nikez and VJ's CM10.1, but the camera and video are choppy and tearing.

yup, i have stumbled upon this one a week or two ago, but i have read somewhere that its development has come to STOP, apparently lack of developers in their team....i am not sure if this is correct information.
Although i might give it a go, to see how it goes...all i need is daily driver, i am not that active user, because JellyNow can hold 2days, but it isn't usable any more, sometimes i cant answer a phone-call, because when ringing screen doesn't respond as it should, just showing incoming call, then it needs up to 5sec to start reacting....wierd.
Anyhow i am still in a hunt for a fine balanced rom....the problem is i am now addicted to JB stuff, beacuse it almost has it all i need within OS, so need for installing additional apps is minimum.
Tnx

I'm using jelly time and the camera and video work perfectly fine...I've been using this ROM for a good 3 months now...I will just add though that for some reason I can't find the camera now to use it lol but I think I disabled it cuz I never use it and would always accidentally open it....
I'm using jelly time R29,
I hope this helps you!

This seems to be the most commonly askes question in all the ICS and JB threads. If you search through the Desire HD development forums (fora???) you'll see evry single ROM with ICS and JB has camera issues of one kind or another. Some of them have a semi-working camera, some can record video without sound, but up til now, none at all work completely. There is also an issue as to which camera chip is in your phone, different regions/countries/networks seem to have different cameras, and I haven't yet seen anyone post a definitive guide to what is where, and what works with each ROM. All I can suggest is read all the posts in the ICS dev threads, make a backup of your current ROM and flash away until you find the one that works best for you. A lot of people are hopeful that the newer Jellybean ROMS will be fully functional shortly, but for now, if a working camera is a must, stick to Gingerbread and use an ICS theme with a launcher like ADW or GO.

Push Email Issue - Anyone same Problem?

Hi All,
This is my second post in ths forum.
I got my HOX couple days ago, and notice a problem with the phone.
Push email is not working consistently, and the time it takes for email to get pushed to my phone ranges from 5seconds to more than 1 hour.
Are you facing the same problem? Here is a quick test to check.
-Setup Push for your email account (using Microsoft Exchange),
-Set Push for both on peak and off peak times ( do not use smart sync)
-Make sure auto-sync is turned on
- send your self an email. Then observe if the email comes in instantly. (within 3minutes is acceptable).
Sometimes it works right after you put your phone to sleep. But try putting your phone to sleep for about 15minutes then send your self another email to see if the push setting is working?
I have been spending quite a fair bit of time looking around and trying different things, but sadly, I have not found a solution yet. Coming from an Iphone, my Iphone gets pushed 100% of the time within 5 seconds of receiving the email.
I resort to flashing to a custom ROM to see if this problem goes away, but again, no luck.
This issue has been reported in the AT&T ONE X forum, but I have not seen much mentioning in the internation version forum. However i have seen people saying they have issue on the internation version as well.
Just a quick note to let you guys know my setup
- I have setup both my emails (gmail and work email) as Microsoft Exchange Account with "Push" enabled for both on peak and off peak times.
- Automatic Sync is Turned ON
- SmartSync is NOT used here.
This phone is amazing, and I did not regret selling off my brand new S3 for this. However, being the flagship phone for HTC issues like this is just unacceptable. This issue needs to be fixed before I can drop my iphone and move over entirely.
Please let me know if you have similar issue, and I believe as a team we can solve this issue much faster than required for a single person to do!
Thanks to all for reading such a long winded post.
Any input will be appreciated.
PS: I am currently looking for a sense-less rom and try to see if this issue persist. If you are currently running any sense-less ROM which you think is very stable and suitable for day to day use, please let me know.
Thanks!!!!!
its a sense issue, all cm and aosp roms with google email app have it working and syncing lperfectly. im hoping the new 2.15 base solves this, as i love sense

Thanks for confirming this issue. Like you, I think sense is great. But very disappointed with this issue as I am constantly missing emails.
Can you recommend a stable cm or aosp rom for daily use?
I have been looking around but they are all still within early developement stages and I can't afford to have the phone die on me while I am on the go.
Also when u say 2.15 base is that JB?

nope, just a 404test release base that is better than the current 2.05 test release our 404 roms are based on
as for aosp, cm10 preview 11 is more than capable for everyday use, but u can always stick with cm9, and icecoldjelly is a pretty awesome rom too

Hi, Thanks again for the prompt reply.
I am a little confused. How will I know if the stock has a new base as you have mentioned? Are there any custom rom that might be using the new base already?
Sorry for all this question as I am very new to android, and I really wanna move onto the HOX.
I have tried revolution and ViperX rom. Both still has this issue. I will try Cm10Preview11 tonight. But really hope that HTC can sort this mess up as i am big fan of sense apart from this problem. Have been using sense since HTC Touch! (4 years ago!)

android revolution hd will be releasing their 7.3.0 rom using the new base today in a few hours, so i suggest u get on that. since it is a test release, stock users wont be getting it. many other ron devs have got thr test release source code from footbal, but arhd is probably going to be the fastest to release it.
Click thanks if I helped

First ICS rom with all features (including CAMCORDER)

Hello people!
I don't know why, but does anyone noticed that here on XDA is ICS rom for HTC Desire that has everything working properly (at least for me)???
HTC DESIRE-AOKP-milestone 6 by pratheek1992 is best one I tried.
You can find him here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867046.
Camera and camcorder WORKS
This is my 'configuration':
HTC Desire (Bravo) PVT-4 SLCD
HBOOT: Stock Alpharev Hboot
Recovery: 4Ext Recovery.
SD: Transcend 8 GB Class 6 ( I took 512 MB EXT3 Partition)
After I flashed rom, I picked Touchwiz launcher and set all necessary things about google account.
I tried apps, (first camera and camcorder) and they work very well. This rom is still under development, but i'm impressed that we're having everything functional.
P.S. Thank You pratheek1992!
EDIT: I used Mount2SD script with Aroma Installer, I have choosen Apps and Dalvik to Ext, untick Safe Mode.
Sandvold's ICS looks like feature complete and working too...
... though I still don't have enough courage to install any ICS ROM on my main and only Desire, sticking with gb custom rom

Yes it does, but built in camcorder and videoplayback not working (truth is that they work with 3rd apps).
In this AOKP rom built-in ICS camcorder works. Maybe video playback is a little bit laggy, but works better than Sandvold's.
I'm greateful to Sandvold, his rom is amazing, but these "little" features were important to me for choosing ICS rom.
Don't know why I'm still replying, but I couldn't resist:

I mean that everything what coming with this rom is working. I tried every single app. Flashed Mount2SD, flashed Gapps, flashed G Now and everything working. And videoplayback is correct.
Why are you angry? I haven't lied in any aspect. When I said everything, I thought everything what is important for normal using of phone even for advanced user.
Try it and then comment on my post.

Yes far from totally (720p). I told him not to comment because he didn't try rom but he knows everything about it. I'm sorryif I was rude.
It seems that nothing can be shared without someone's bad critics.

All critics are good.
You don't need to jump from 10th floor to know that you're gonna die.
My suggestion to you, search Desire thread a little bit (especially Q&A section) and see how many problems ICS/JB caused lately then start praising around. People here are, hopely, mature and don't need anybody to praise them and make them gods, especially recognised developers.

It's not about any recognised developer, this is not any praising. It's objective feedback of using someone's rom, This feedback could help someone. And please, who are you to lecture me?? This is about rom, not about me or you. Neither you tried it and you're telling me about it.
I was talking about the latest version of Sandvold's package.
Do not know but Sandvold declares what's working, i.e.:
- Full hwa
- Camera+preview+panorama + video working
- HW accelration
- Video streaming and playback
... you tried it and found any bug? Report it, please... as I would like to know it (and reconsider my decision about using that package in the future).

Sandvold wrote that more than 6 month ago. Camera works. HWA works. Video recording and video playback not working (FCs or disorted or artefacts on screen). It can be fixed by using some 3rd part programs. For example: for video recording you can use program Video Illusion from Store and for video playback you can use MX Player also from Store. In AOKP this working properly.
Developers are planning to solve problem with camcorder and playback with porting Kernel 3.0, but it seems that this is (more than partially)solved by AOKP ported rom which I mentioned in first post.
MIUIv4 with miui gb camera (THIS ONE ONLY!) can record videos without funny weird output and also have HWA.

[Q] AOKP (KangXperiaProject) 4.1.2 on XperiaS [BUGS]

Hello people!
I have not long been using AOKP for very long, but i can say overall i love it, i have a few issues though.
I am aware of course it is a unofficial ROM and to expect it to run perfectly would be ridiculous and i was hoping if anybody had experienced anything similar and had any solutions?...
- My headphone jack has 100% stopped working since installing is ROM, i even reinstalled an old backup of MIUIv4 and it was working fine so it defiantly isn't the hardware.
- Black screen notifications, if i received an IM like whatsapp or even a SMS my led would light up and the screen backlight will turn on but its just a black screen?
- Fail to unlock screen first time around, now this doesn't happen all the time, maybe 30-40% of the time, but ill press the unlock button... the backlight will turn on but again its just a black screen, so i have to re-lock and unlock again and it will 100% work the second time... its kind of annoying.
Other than that the ROM works fine for me, i really don't want to lose the JB OS... is there a stable alternative maybe? or hopefully a simple fix.
By the way is based on their latest build.
Thanks!

UPDATE: ive given the ROM a go and i must say its a lot more stable than i thought it would be when its a "mishmash" of different ROMs put together.
i still have the headphone jack issue thought, i read a few other forums that people are experiencing using ROMs based on CM10... have you not had this issue?

[Q] Camera problems and other issues With CyanogenMod 10

Hi guys.. I finally installed jellybean on the phone, but there was some issues regarding some crucial(for me) functionalities of the phone;
Mainly the camera, It takes pictures with the green thing of course (I don't mind this one), It shoots videos with focusing and all, but it doesn't really shoot 30fps (I tried apps like lg camera and camera ics but it's all the same). There was some talk here about changing some system configuration file to make the camera shoot in 26fps, but that doesn't seem to be making any sense... Now the second thing is third party apps that use the camera, as for example camscanner that has some weird issues inside of it.. I open the program, I switch to batch mode(this one takes a lot of pictures), I take the first image which goes normally but after that all I see is what I had taken, I can take new images, but there is no preview(and no focusing). Notice that this app worked in gb, and had no problems, And that the whole range of apps that shoot multiple images has the same problem (handy scanner for example) . So did any one get around those issues... I heard that CM9 is better so can anyone confirm if camscanner is working there (the batch mode), Or maybe if someone is using a different one that doesn't have those issues ; These are really some serious drawbacks to the available custom roms, So I think they should have been at least mentioned.
Thanks in advance !
Dude you should really read what Arco said about the SGW camera in CM before claiming it´s not working that well like in GB. It´s a dirty hack to make it work at all so it will also not work well with all the camera apps out there. In CM9 its working a bit better than in CM10 but regarding smoothness and compability with other apps it´s about the same. So you are not telling us something new and everyone who is using CM9 or CM10 is also aware of this.
So if this is a big issue for you, flash back to GB and use this instead.

Thanks for the response, I might do that ... As for now can someone confirm that camscanner is not working on CM9 as well ?
I also have the same problem with the app above in camera jb+ (Takes the first picture, freezes), and I heard that some people are using it flawlessly... So please what rom are you using ?

Thanks for the response. I myself noticed that the camera even in CM10 is faster than stock, except for some issues... However someone just confirmed to me that the issue that I'm talking about here is present in cm9 too, so it seems that the camera is the same in all avaiable cyanogenmods for this phones !
