Strange camera problem

Whenever I flash a custom ROM from stock eclair, the camera just doesn't work half the time. The camera app would open and it would just be a blank viewfinder. I found that closing and reopening the camera like 3 or 4 times fixes it temporarily. When I leave the phone sitting for a while and try to open the camera, it always opens with the blank viewfinder.
I tried searching about this but I guess it isn't a common issue at all, so if anyone can offer any advice I'd appreciate it

Well this really depends on the ROM you are flashing when coming from Eclair, which ROM did you try, and which kernel with that?

Well, I was on Team Hacksung's ICS build 17(icy glitch v14 b6), AOKP(same kernel), Doc's Master(the kernel that came with it), and Slim ICS 3.1(the kernel that came with it). I also tried a custom gingerbread ROM which I can't remember the name of atm.

OK, I think the problem is that all of the roms you've been flashing are ics builds and all of the ics builds for the galaxy s are ported at the moment, and because they are ported they don't always work. So my guess is that your camera doesn't work because of your ics builds, why don't you try a ROM built for captivate like fasty ROM or darky ROM or even cyanogenmod7?

I actually have tried cm7 but the camera would not open at all with that one.

None of the CM build are made for the captivate, try a rom built from stock and see if the issue happens on that. Maybe try legend rom from crt it is a very good rom based off of stock kk4.

I've tried flashing legend but that got me into a bootloop. I have successfully flashed Simply Stock, but I had the same camera issue.
This was a while ago, but I remember having camera problems as soon as I got the official gingerbread update from froyo. If I remember correctly the camera would always force close as soon as I opened it.

you must have a hardware problem.
camera works fine on ICS for the past 2 months at least. nothing but bad advice in this thread. i am running AOKP right now. used camera today.. used it now.. it works.
cm camera works fine, cm IS built for captivate, or in those thoughts... CM isnt built for any phone..??..

Well, I should also make it clear that the camera always seems to open with no problems on stock eclair or froyo, so yeah... it's a pretty strange case. I don't really want to trade everything else great about ICS and go back to froyo because of my ocd lol.

That's kind of what i meant lol its not a stock build.

Um, so is it unlikely I'll ever be able to fix this issue then?

Had same problem with every ICS rom I've tried. Seems camera only works with LCD density set to 220, at least on my phone. Check if it makes a difference on your phone. Under Settings > ROM Control> General UI> LCD Density

[Q] Video Camera N1 doesn't work

Dear Friends,
It's more than 1 year that I rooted my Nexus one and Installed a custom rom. After that when I'm going to use my video cam, I see "Forse Close". I tried many many roms and apps, but any app which is going to use video cam lead to "Force-Close". the photo camera wonderfully works normally in any roms/apps!!
Is there anybody can help me? thanx

try using setting in camera maybe its on HD cam at any rate
1st what rom are you using
2nd what have you tired to fix it
3rd ask the person who made your rom or in that thread
If i help ((( HIT THANKS ))) today is my 420 b-day LONG LIVE FREEDOM

Did you try restore the image back to the previous rom and try to reinstall the trouble rom again?

Video worked fine for me in CM7.1 and CM7.2, both of which are Gingerbread. It also worked on Froyo.
Video is known not to work on the early ICS firmwares.

I did but video cam still not working

[Q] fm radio on anything other than stock

so this has been asked before for the htc desire c, but never answered.
has anyone used custom sense based rom (as i gather these are the only ones capable) of using the fm radio? I'm happy to use stock, but i was getting frequent and untimely reboots of the device with stock. spiritfm is not compatible with the device.

It is possible you are one of a few that uses the FM on your phone, I never use it (used it about 3x since mobiles had it as a capability from Nokia 5600 or something like that lol! ) that's probably the most likely answer as to why it's not been (or being) answered
PM a ROM DEV is probably your best bet
Bashing away at my HTC Desire C

hi all i have recently got my desire c rooted which was succesful. so i decided to move on a srep further and got to a more advance level and try out custom ROM so i searched abt it and found Cyanogenmod10 to be the most popular and also one of the most supported ROM by developers so i Managed to install all the things properly and now I curreently have CM10 with android 4.1.2 which i great all the things work great and specially the battery life i mean cant even think that my phone had such a long battery life which was possible to acheive with CM10 now i have wifi 3g some gaming and music on all the time since past 1week from the time i got CM10 the battery lasts 1full day plus 3-4 hours more. whereas with stock rom it lasted only 7-8hrs.So CM10 works great inshort.
Now comming to a problem which i faced with CM10- NO FM RADIO app. i did not think abt it earlier but now after flashing i came to know CM does not come with FM . so i did search on net and found Spirit Unlocked and Spirit2 which are 3rd party app as most of you might know for FM radio. and i tried it and the both dnt work at all ,i can install them both but no FM service its just like a app installed it opens and nothing runs no radio works with these two also.
So i thought that if som1could help me with it.what i thought was to get the apk file for FM from stock HTC Desire C rom and try it on my phone with Cm10 but only problem i that where can i get the stock apk file for HTC desire c FM ? can som1 provide me that file ? so i can try it?
thanks

sal! you have found ? (stock apk file for HTC desire c FM) ????????

Get it by extracting it from revolutionary stock deodexed Rom
At least that's a start for the apk

You wont lock the device with flashing the ROM. Close to stock ROM would be Badboys ROM.
Reminder - you asked this question in a wrong thread. It should go into Q&A section.

If you're using this for CDMA, I'd recommend the MIUI ROM. Despite being an iOS lookalike, that is the only ROM that will show you the signals separately for 1x and EVDO.

I rooted stock 5.0.2 and used Titanium Backup to remove everything stock that I don't have any use for. Messaging (use Hangouts) BlinkFeed (replaced with SLauncher) Music (replaced with CM 12 Music/added Viper4Android) Live Wallpapers (who even uses these things?!)...literally everything that has an icon in the app drawer gone. Exceptions are calculator, camera , calender, clock, downloads and gallery. Everything else I have a preferred replacement.
If you want even LESS to worry about, you can't go wrong with stock Cyanogenmod + Pico Gapps. No bogus/worthless features, no bloat, 4g connectivity, and best of all SUPER lightweight. The Nike of roms...just do it!
