I have your same problem: Layar shows the compass (working) over a white screen instead of the image from the camera.
Does anybody knows how to fix this? Thanks
Alex

well
yesterday I downloaded kies and by tweaking the registry I was able to upgrade the firmware.
After that It got automatically fixed (and also qr codes).

Non-stock apps are unable to access camera hardware.
In my case the stock camera application works ok, but any other application can't access the camera (Layar, Wikitude, 3DCompass, Camera360, Barcode Scanner, etc.)
There was any change in the phone (no ROM updates neither firmware updates) but it suddenly stops working.
My Galaxy is 2.2.1 ROM JPY
Somebody have a clue about this issue?
Regards.

same problem
i am still facing the same problem
i think this problem started when i was using camera360 and start taking continues camera shots
am not sure that this was the reason
but still trying to understand what happened

what is "tweaking the registry"??
i couldn't upgrade the firmware

Since I instaled cyanogen 10.1 in my LG P970 everything works except layar with the same problem, compass, info, etc over a green screen.
with the paranoid version it worked
Did anybody solve this problem?

Check what RADIO is compatible with the ROM you installed and use one of those.
The radio is not always the issue.
I am having the SAME problem the OP is having. At first, everything worked just fine (camera, radio, etc). What I did was install on old camera (Nadavi_HTC_Camera_5_0_4_2915_00_NEW_HTC_FIX)
and then that is when it blacked out. I have tried a few different cameras but I can not find the one that fixes it.
My reception is ALLOT better since this problem started, but, I am still on the hunt for a 6.1 camera that will fix the blackout on the viewer of the camera.
How can i check the ROM version on my tytn 2?... also can you please tell me where i can get the compatible radio / camera for this ROM?... Thanks a ton!
I found the ROM version.. it is 3.28.405.0 WWE, also the radio version is 1.65.16.25. Any compatible Camera fix for this version?
Maybe you've isntalled the HTC camera fix or Nadavi camera 5.0 with fix. Uninstall the fix or the camera 5.0 iwth fix and install the version without the fix and it should be fine.

Thanks a lot Akshay!.. Yes the issue was the HTC Fix that i had installed. Nadavi fix is working fine. I just uninstalled the HTC fix and the camera is working perfectly fine now.. Thanks for your suggestion!

Google Maps 4.1

I just picked up 4.1 from the market on my G1. For some reason it kept force closing and saying I was 70000meters away from where I am. I even uninstalled it and rebooted. What I ended up doing was running RA recovery, entering the utility area and then using the experimental permissions fix.
Walla it runs smooth and seems to load up pretty fast. I'm on my phone and on the run. Just wanted to let others know that it does work despite all the rambling in the comments on the market.
It worked for me too, not much of an improvement if you ask me....
FC all the time and a lot slower than the old one (I'm using CM4.2.15.1)
It works great for me. I have no idea what everyone else is complaining about.
Agreed works well for me too i'm on CM 4.2.15.
It actually seems faster than before as far as scrolling around the map

Pulled off my phone after updating: Maps 4.1
Does this one have international navigation enabled or is it just the plain version?
plain ver. no international nav.
Shame
Don't suppose you know where there's a tutorial on how to edit the maps to add these features in like Brut does?
(Still looking for one but no luck yet)
just wait for brut to release it.

Thanks. Works fine on Dwang 1.17.1
Did anyone else get another update today? The Market said there was an update available, even though I already had 4.1.0 and the new version was also identified as 4.1.0. Strange.

yes I got this too, it crashes my phone
Yup, tried it 3-4 times and it completely resets the phone.
Had this too. Logcat said that the package manager crashed with an uncaught exception and the phone will therefore reboot.
I solved the problem by uninstalling + re-installing Maps instead of updating directly.
how do you reinstall it?
uninstall. install.
where do you go to install it?
sorry i'm new to this phone

[Q] Help me to solve my galaxy tab P1000 defalt browser problem

Hi to all members , please help me to solve my galaxy tab defalt browser when i lunch the
the apps its not working and tab vibrates and the app is closed. I am really worried about this problem plz he me about this how i can fixed this problem
Hi. It would probably help if you told us your firmware version & background information (has it ever worked... what were you doing when it stopped working?).
This sometimes happens to me (about one time in 20).
Try disabling plug-ins & java script. Then try restore to defaults. If that fails, it sounds like a file could be missing or corrupt but I'm only guessing.
If no other problems, I wouldn't worry about it. How about other browsers... are they ok?

Compass on Google Maps on Onecosmic's ICS RC3

Hi
Is anyone's compass working on Google Maps while using Onecosmic's ICS RC3 Rom? My Compass is working in a Compass App and in MapDroyd.. but in Google Maps, it doesn't.
Can anyone suggest a fix? I've already replaced the networklocation.apk (which fixed the Compass App from force closing).
Thanks
Use a version of maps before 6.0 and it will work, for some reason google has done something to maps that has broken compass on AOSP based roms.
Thanks diabslosv, I'll try and get an older APK for it and try it out

I have the same, is really annoying me.. Another apps that requires location do not work.
http://www.wupload.com/file/2143967117
This is Google Maps 5.12, the last one that had a working compass.. It should work
The login failed error happens because of permissions.. but I got a triangle in the notification bar on my phone, and clicked allow for about 3 different things.
looks like it working now..
perfect...thx a lot!

Here's my current theory, I'm thinking maybe 6.0 and up is looking for the barometer (helps find your location apparently) which isn't in our phone, which is a new feature of the Galaxy Nexus.... which is somehow stuffing the compass for us..... perhaps maps 6.0 thinks our phone is a galaxy nexus .
Might be totally wrong though

which compass app you're using? I cant get it working on any app in the market.
New version of Google maps 5.12 with working compass
signed apk.
maps5.12.0-ownhere-signed.apk

Maps compass solution
I just had this problem (on a different rom). After using Maps-5.12 as a workaround for months, I finally discovered that the compass will work on the newer versions of Maps if auto-rotation is enabled.
Cheers!

(Bug report/question) Camera app unresponsive after installing xposed framework

hi guys, got a problem after installing just the xposed framework (no modules) when i open the stock camera app i seem to lose touch screen function. the volume button still works to take a picture but i cant select any option on screen. When the framework is uninstalled then the camera app works perfect.
ive downloaded other camera apps from the play store and they work fine but dont have the features of the stock one so would like to get it working.
any ideas whats wrong or how to fix this?
My phone is a rooted galaxy S5 (SM-G900F) on stock rom (4.4.2) if anymore info is needed then please just ask.
thanks for any help or info given
regards,
Gary.
