Camera Problems

I have this problem with the camera on the herald.
Once I press the camera button, it does nothing, but the screen and dpad lights up. That's it. The program doesn't even open.
After that, I tried to open it through the programs folder and still nothing happens...
Does anyone have the cab file for the latest camera build for herald or a fix to this problem. It's been bothering me for so long.
Also, once I am able to obtain the fix or cab file, I will have completed a new rom for the herald AND wing that will publish ASAP.
Any help would be appreciated! =]

All I can tell you, I already said in the PM. I've done this before, twice now that I think about it. Once I just started the ROM from scratch, the second time... umm.... I don't remember how, but I fixed it. It was a small dumb little file, too... send me a copy of the ROM, RGU's and all and I'll see what could be missing. Or download my ROM and try to match the OEMAPP folders between them and see what files you're missing.

That's exactly what i did, i used your rom to compare with mine and everything is basically the same...
I also started from scratch again and it still won't work. I'm starting to believe that it may be a program that i have added to the rom.

Did you check ALL the OEM folders? Or just the OEMAPPS? What have you added if you don't mind revealing it to the world.

yes i checked all folders, but it's complicated.
do you still want me to send you my .nbh file so you can take a look?

I'm not home right now, but go ahead. Make sure you leave the RGUs intact, though. It might be something in the registry as well.

I glanced over it quickly and found the following files missing from your ROM that were in my ROM. I didn't look TOO hard so I may have missed a few things.
OEM_Lang_0409
DRM0409.dll
OEMAPPS
Arail.amf
ding.amr
taskserstart.exe
transport.exe
different camera file sizes
CannedText_0409.bin
ding.amr
Engine.Dll
FlashLiteDll.dll
getMMSCtxMenuInfo.dll
getMMSCtxMenuInfo.dll.0409.mui
HTCDrmAPI.dll
HTCFlashLiteDll.dll
HTCFSrc.dll

I know I gotta finish cleaning my ROM... but I'm so focused on getting that flashing limiter taken off...

all right, i have the camera working now because i download the camera build for the hermes, but since it's not the same, everything is distorted and out of place. all i need to do is fix that up and i think i should be able to release this rom.

Where did you find the camera build? I am having the same problem. I have tried two different ROMs, but I think it may be related to JasJam Vs. Hermes. I have the JasJam and the camera app doesn't even pretend to start.

it's all right!!! i got everything fixed! i'm pretty much going to release it now and hope all turns out well!
@ prostar. you need the reg files for the camera. the reason why it wasn't working for me was because i didn't have them. I was able to do it by breaking down any herald ROM and extracting the specific reg files for the camera and BOOM! it worked like a charm...took me a while to figure it out. if you would like, pm me and i'll see what i can do to help you

Camera not as good as Mogul?

Hi, I am coming from a Mogul and the camera wasn't great, though it did work in a pinch. Now I have a Sprint Diamond which I love, though the camera is so slow that I cannot take a picture or video without blur. I am not trying to complain as the phone suits my needs very well. The question is, can registry edits be made to improve the camera? Maybe speed up the process a bit?
By the way, thanks for this great site! I have learned so much already!

Good question my friend. Well search for the tool called Advance Config. by default ( and i dont know why) the phone is programmed to have a slight delay when you press the action button and when it actually take the pictures.
So install that app and search for the photo options, there you can set the details, activate another options.
Have fun,

Every single post is important for me, and I did read yours
I have not replied to your inquire because I have not found a reason
I do have autofocus, as everybody else using the ROM
But don't worry: Sometimes big problems have simple solutions
Possibility 1:
Have you tryed settings -> Focus ??
(autofocus is the empty square)
Possibility 2:
Corrupted download or corrupted RAR decompression or corrupted flash...
You can try to re-flash the ROM to see if the problem persists
Possibility 3:
A hardware issue with your phone ??

Gtrab, you knwo what. maybe in others minds your rom is not the best, but you are the nicest guy. while in my mind, both the best.

hear hear, gtrabs, take a bow, cos you've really earned it.
and yah i do confirm that auto focus works on mine. am trying to recreate the disabled autofocus to try to help, and may have just done that,
1. go to the settings icon, (the spanner one), in your camera app. its on the bottom right.
2.click on the 2nd icon on the left, it should say focus, choose either the first icon (touch) or the one beside (Auto), and you should get your autofocus back. Good luck.
Yours may have been stuck on either the 3rd or 4th icon.

[Q] Need help getting button lights working on GB rom

Hi,
I've searched and even PM'd a couple of people but haven't got anywhere so far with this...
I've ported a rom from the Desire S to the Incredible S and it's rather lovely but I can't get the backlights on the buttons to work. There is a script that I can run once booted but it only lasts one boot so you have to run it again each time - also, rotation doesn't work but that's not a killer really, just a nice to have.
It's only a GB 2.3.7 based rom built on Cyanogen 7.2RC2 so I know this is something very simple for a lot of devs out there (most roms have it working already) but I'm very new at all this and having a hard time teaching myself pretty much anything!
I'm very willing to put the work in but I'm really struggling so anything anyone can do to help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
DF

You need to decompile the framework-res.apk
go to res/values and open arrays.xml in a note editor
Scroll down to I think it is config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues
Edit the values (make them like the LCD backlight)
Recompile the apk
I recommend using apk tool for this
OR
You can just copy the arrays.xml from another CM7 rom to save you the trouble
And a question for you, what rom is it?

Oh I could just kiss you! That is great, I've decompiled and can't find arrays.xml but I don't care cos it is a push in the right direction and now I'm rolling... I'll find it somewhere!
The rom is called IncredibleSmoke. It is a port of BlindSMOKE (a mooke os) from blindndumb and it really is a very nice rom to use... It's in the developers forum (but that version had all the device details in build.prop wrong so I will replace it as soon as I get the lights working).
Also have a little issue with the volume controls on the rom. Voice quality isn't great in calls so I have to work on that too.

So you've got it working?
The rom looks awesome, clean looking
Sorry I can't help you with that
Anyway, are you going to post it??

Took a while to get the files. Neither of my source roms had those files (worrying) so I went and got the generic Cyanogen 7.2 release for the Incredible and pulled the files from there. Applying it in a few mins after I finish taking a backup to see if I got it right... Fingers crossed it will work and if it does then yes, I'll be uploading it
After that I'll start to work on the voice quality issues (currently a bit loud, volume in call is not very responsive and the other end can hear an echo).

Hmm. Not so successful. Not that the lights might not have worked but unfortunately can't boot so restoring and I'll go have a look at what I done wrong. Maybe I killed it in the decompile/compile as I don't think the addition of the files itself would have knackered it.
Anyway, second try will come soon
