Latest Firefly rom and video app 720p not working - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Using latest Firefly Rom, and tried taking a video last night and the highest res just crashes the app. Tried rebooting phone, clearing out the videos / pics I had and still had the same problem. Lower resolution video works fine.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Are you using the Speedmod "bigmem" kernel?
*Edit*
Looking back at the Firefly thread, It contains Speedmod version Q Bigmem. With Bigmem, you trade off more ram for the system in exchange for low quality video.
you can easily flash a new kernel with SGS Kernel Flasher.
Here is the latest Speedmod kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=510300&d=1296977210

I just tried this and it's giving me the same error. When I start the camera and switch to video, the app crashes.. I also installed the latest speedmod kernel. hmmm.. what to do?

App crashing when switching to video means an issue with the camera app. This used to happen sometime way back on certain roms. And this crash doesn't have anything to do with video resolution. Check for the updated camera app. When I had this, I finally got hold for the camera app that worked, after like 3-4 failed attempts.
Try the two versions of camera apps I am attaching to this post. Make sure u rename the camera_old to camera before copying it. Do NOT try to install. Manually copy to /system/app folder.

Anyone know if the latest Firefly uses a speedmod with the same 720p camera issue?

Flash on CM7?

Does CM7 support adobe flash?
I was on Honeycomb v4 2nd edition but even after the 1.1GHz overclock, it was really laggy which is fine because it is based off a preview build, so switched to the cm7 nightly of yesterday.
HC ran "TED T" fine from the market. it is an app which has ted talks on it.
however CM7 give me an error "Sorry, this video cannot be played"
anyone have any ideas on how to get flash working on cm7 or know a html app of ted talks?
i have installed adobe flash 10.2 from the market and also rebooted since.
thanks
It's a little choppy but otherwise Flash works fine for me on CM7 for a few days now. I update to the latest nightly each night before bed or morning when I get up and have not had it fail me yet since 10.2 came out. As to the Ted T app in particular that you mentioned, I downloaded and tried it out for you. The video is choppy, but otherwise it seems to work. I'd like to be of more help, but until video is fluid it really isn't worth speculating at what could be the cause in my opinion.
flash does work with cm7 (i use nightly 23) albeit a little low frame rate - trick is to use Dolphin Browser, click on menu/settings and User Agent and select Desktop
You are the second person after me to have problem with video with the more recent CM7 builds.
I went back to 25 and it works fine again.
The post above me says it works in 23.
My guess is that it was messed up in the recent builds - but you would think that someone else would have noticed.
thanks for your replies.
@animatechnica and ADude - went back to nightly 23 and 25. still no luck with ted t.
@snives - cheers for testing mate. can you tell me what nightly version u r using? thanks!
If you want random things to try that are suggested in various threads (after backing up your installation!):
- Power off and back on (should be different from reboot)
- Soft reset (20 second hold power button)
- Uninstall Flash 10.2 and download and install again
- Uninstall SetCPU or CPUtuner (supposed to not be used with CM7)
- Use standard kernel instead of OC kernel
- "Fix Permissions" in ROM manager
- Get brianf21's utility (Development Forum thread) and clear Dalvik Cache
Flash works for me, but it's choppy because it's a bad video codec.
So I have the CM7.0.2 installed on my nook color. I can not get any flash videos to play at all...
I tried it in the regular and opera browser, on various sites (NY Times, Youtube).
Everytime I get that flash player is not installed or this video can not be played....
From everything I have read, it states that flash is enabled in CM7 and it should work on the nook....
Any ideas for troubleshooting?
Thanks
Any hints or help guys?

Have you actually installed from Flash from the market?
It works fine on mine (CM7 full 60 nightly), with either stock browser and also with Opera mobile. I have latest Flash from the Market stored on my uSD card. Clear caches, and make sure you have a good wi fi connection?
Try uninstalling Flash 10.2 then re-install. Otherwise, sorry - I don't have any other ideas. I have CM7 Nightly 49 installed and have few troubles with Flash content so it can be done. Good luck!

Sorry, this video cannot be played

I'm sure that it was caused by some apps I installed. Any videos including the Samsung Promo Vid couldn't be played. But after I reboot my phone, everything is fine.
But, if I don't use my phone (means I did not touch or open any apps), after hours the videos run fine. I realise after heavy use (after several apps are opened), the videos can't be played anymore.
Does anyone have the same issue too?
what kernel are u using? is stagefright enabled? download and install mobo player from market and temme if u still have those issue!!
Forgot to mention that I'm using the stock JVK ROM. May I ask what is stagefright?
if u dont know what it is then u havent done anything, so try a clean flash again and things will be back to normal..
I'm flashing a ROM from Samfirmware.com. Do I need to flash my JVK back to Froyo before flashing in a new 2.3.3? My JVK contains Bootloader.
Not necessary flash as it is.. ..u will b fine

I flashed a clean new stock ROM from Samfirmware.com and the issue persist. I googled around and most of them have this issue with their Youtube videos. However, my Youtube is working fine but not the videos in my SD Card.
As stated, after I reboot my phone, everything is fine.

[Q] Camera Fails

So, my camera fails everytime i try to take a picture!
The image appears well, the auto-focus works also nice, but when i press the button to take the picture, the image is black and a warning pops-up saying that Camera failed and then the camera app closes.
I've done some research, and i found out that some users had the same issues, but by messing with the camera firmware menu, which is not my case. The solution in these cases was to re-flash the camera firmware, copying original SGS/Samsung Wave camera firmware files to /system/firmware, and hit "Phone to CAM FW Write" @ Camera Firmware menu. Obviously, and sadly, didn't work for me.
And, in another thread, 2 users mentioned that this problem started in their phones after flashing the CF-Root-JPH-v1.1, which i also did, since my build number was FROYO.XWJPF (and JPH was the closest of JPF). The root worked damn great, but the camera now doesnt work.
And when i go to Settings->Apps->Manage Apps->All i have the camera size @ 0,00k, and the camera firmware @ 4,00k, wich i suspect are not the default and correct sizes.
So, here i am, running out of ideas. I'm aware i can send it to warranty, but looking foward to not having all that work and solving the thing by myself, if i can.
Any kind of help in this would be very appreciated!
Reflash ROM (or upgrade to a newer one like JVR or JVS)?
Well, this is the stock rom, and officially, this is the newest ROM my phone provider sent to the SGS :S
Any way to re-flash it using Kies for example?
Already tried to wipe data/cache, reboot, etc.. :S
I don't know about Kies, haven't used it for so long..
So you want to stick to stock ROM. Hmm.
Here, try copying & replacing those 4 files into /system/app using some file explorer with root support or adb push.
Those files are from the original JPF ROM.
View attachment camerafiles.rar
Well, solved!
Just re-flashed the stock official ROM (which i got using the app in this thread and everything is nice now!
Camera works, still have root. And the phone is still SIM-Unlocked.
Everything's nice
Fixed camera again by flashing CF-Root JPX

Same happened to me recently (though my "stock" build number before was actually JPH as well, so it should have been a perfect fit).
Front camera and video recording was still fine, but trying to actually take a picture with the main back camera results in failure after flashing CF-Root JPH, as you describe.
Anyways, I just flashed the more recent CF-Root-...JPX, and all was well again.
JPY would not even boot, btw, so the latest that would boot was JPX,
and it fixed it.
I never find a solution to my camera Samsung galaxy SI9000M
My camera on samsung galaxy s I9000M (Bell north american version)
My phone is out off warranty.
Since I upgrade the phone from froyo 2.2 the camera work only on video mode.
I tried all the new firmwares gingerbread from 2.3.3 till 2.3.6, I tried custom ROM, nowhere, the same problem...I change the camera firmware as explained in threads from many forums, using root and file manager,change files in system/firmware...no thing again.
I rewrite the files with samsung wave files...nothing again
As soon as I return back to froyo the camera start working again perfectly
I return to froyo and update the phone to official gingerbread 2.3.3 UGKG3 with Kies, the uodate done succussefully but the camera crash again showing the same message Camera Failed
I install Camera zoom FX, didn't work until I set it to Infinity focus...than start working.
But the Autofocus on original camera is a default value we can not change.
I played with the setting of the camear different ways and the problem is still there.
Any issues please

go into the settings, app, all, gallery -----> clear cache and delete data
for safety still in recovery mode, wipe cache and dalvik.
then it should go back.

go to recovery mode and wipe cache and dalvik.after that flash that zip.
this could help you. if not it would be better to re-install the rom after you have installed the stock rom + root kernel.
revert it to stock, re-root it, then install whatever ROM, then see, it solved it when i had that problem :fingers-crossed:

I see one or two possible causes of your problem:
1. Kernel more than 391MB usually breaks the 720p video and Gallery, make sure the bigmem patch of kernel is not activated.
2. Flashing directly from GB to JB usually causes post-installation problems, one of which maybe is your problem. Developers recommend a gradual ugrade of Android system to avoid any problems. From GB flash a CM9 ICS first then finally the JB Rom you wanted. In this way, you will surely get a trouble-free Rom.

i dont remember the stock android and other sh*t can u tell me or post a link were i can get everything what i need to revert it stock ? tnx.
You can also try to fix permissions in CWM under "advanced".
prob.
i reverted my galaxy s gt i9000 to stock, and hoped to get camera working again but no. has still that problem, says camera failed or something like that.
well i seen some posts about copyng camera firmware, i tried that. but next problem was... that this copy failed. idk why, maybe i cant in stock ?
pls someone help me!
I think I have exactly the same problem.
It was caused by flashing Onecosmics ICSSGS RC 4.2 to CM10 Stable. (i have to admid the camera was semi broken at ICSSGS already, crashed somewhere in an hour after booting, had to reboot phone to get it running again, but well it was working...)
Camera has never worked since. (stock sammy gave me a black screen when opening the camera, making a picture just made it freeze. CM10 just gives gallery crashes upon opening. Tried nandroids, cleared cashes, tried stock sammy firmwares. I wanted to do a Samsung Kies repair, but i was unable to find stock firmware for my country...
Flashing the camera firmware might work. It didn't for me, but i have heard it could be the solution.
Can you see if you front camera is working (install instagram and make a front camera pic, will evade the gallery has crashed problem).
yea, my front camera works, i can take pictures and watch them later.
but my back camera doesnt work

still nothing
for now i tried to copy another galaxy s i9000 camera firmware and samsung wawe cam. firmware, but still that same problem... well 1 thing changed.
my galaxy s gt i9000 front camera is messing right now, i got like 6-7 me on that camera some lines are on the screen in camera :/
Well, if someone knows something what could help then please tell me!
ive tryed another roms, i been using android 2.3.6 and 4.1.1, back on stock, copyng files and messing around with that.
maybe camera is broken? i dont know what to do...
Have the same problem for a long long time.
been flashing a lotta roms kernels etc.. nothing.
I even changed the camera (I had another GT-i9000) and nothing, which makes me believe it's something of the Motherboard
Also, if I press the screen at the top half of it.. it shuts down.
I've had no back camera for a long time either. I've flashed back to eclair, tried about 4 different cam firmwares which all flashed successfully so they said, and lots of ROMs. I gave up. Im sure it must be hardware.
Seen people posting over time about the same thing. Firmwares helped a couple of people, but lots of people ended up with a dead camera. Buying a new camera unit from eBay fixes it. I think they're about £20....

I have exactly the same problem. Tried everything from changing many roms and kernels. Even bricked my phone for two weeks and then resurrected it using Darky's Rom Resurrection. But the camera even crashed in Darky's rom and it is still not working when I'm back to SlimRom 4.2.2 build 6. It was working all file and I cannot believe that it is a hardware issue. Please help.

same problem on my i9000. I will try with another camera from a friend's i9000.... if nothing happens probably will leave my precious

[Q] No video option on stock camera

I don't do videos often, but I have taken videos in the past. Today when I tried, I am unable to put camera in video mode. I9070P, rooted stock GB ROM. Any suggestions?

Not sure what I did, but after tweaking many settings (not sure if any of them had any influence) I am now able to change the camera to video mode.
