So i've been using my mytouch 3g fine the past few weeks with cyanogen mod 5 but recently i flashed cyanogen mod 6 and i didnt like the progress on it yet so i did complete system wipe and i restored my nandroid backup of cyanmod5. The problem i noticed was that when i turn on my camera app (the default one) it works fine until you take a picture. after the picture is taken there should be a little preview box with the picture on the top right hand corner but it's just black there and when i press it nothing happens. so then i put my sd card in my computer and the picture didnt save either. So i downloaded two other camera apps FxCamera and cameramagic and both of them forceclosed when trying to save. so i go into my gallery and it crashes without even giving me the message. So im guessing this problem has to do with the gallery app right? and if so how can i fix it?
help please?
Hmmm.... Haven't had any problems with mine. Have u tried wiping and reflashing?

Which version of cm5 are you using? The first roms of the cm5.0.7-test series had problems with the camara previews. Make sure you are using the latest cm5.0.8.
Also you don't need to wipe prior to a nandroid =p
I did some searching on this issue but the only thread I found was from 2010 and we've come a ways since then. My issue is, randomly when I try and access my gallery I will get a black screen while my buttons remain lit. I have to hit the home button in order to do anything and then need to kill the gallery from running in order to get back into it. Has anyone else seen this or know how to fix it?
I'm runniny Serendipity VII build 2 kernel 4.

I haven't had this issues, but here are a couple of things I can think of:
1. Did you try installing a different gallery over it? (Using SGS tools)
2. How many pictures do you have? I could see a lot of folders/pics tripping it up.
3. Have you tried clearing the data from the app? (Through settings)

I haven't installed another gallery because I like the default one and haven't had any problems with it until recently. I've got a few hundred pictures but about 7gigs of anime that I can't keep from showing up each time. I checked the application settings but there isn't anything you can clear.

Try this: look around in your filesystem for a file called .nomedia, and put a copy of that in the folder/folders you have your anime images in. They won't show up in gallery, but you'll still be able to get to them.
Hi all,
I did not and will not stop searching for a solution for our slow camera.
I read that someone said that the Atrix Camera would work better for the Bionic. So I downloaded the Apk from here (http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...l-(10-05-2011)&p=149453&viewfull=1#post149453) and changed the camera and camcorder icon to our beloved stock ones.
This Camera Version starts much faster, is focusing faster and seems to be a lot more stable. It also seems that those ugly black flickering is gone in the camcorder too
Please report if you are experiencing the same improvements
Note: Unfortunately this only works with the XT862.
Installation:
1. Rename (or remove) /system/app/BlurCamera.apk and BlurCamera.odex to *.bak
2. Move BlurCamera.apk to /system/app
3. Set the permissions to 644 (-rw-r--r--)
4. Reboot
GoLauncher EX users will find the app icon at the end of the list.
Rename to BlurCamera.apk and move this to /system/app and set the right permissions.
Tested over the XT883 rom and yes, this is definitely an improvement.
Thanks a lot for sharing your findings...
Works great. Only issue is camcorder closes to home screen unless you hit record in 3 secs

Im on monster and not having this issue. Im starting to see a lot of people having problems from jumping roms without wiping. A wipe may be in order. The system apps store app data in the data partition as well and may be what is conflicting for you.

In adb shell, as root/su, type:
Code:
setprop media.stagefright.enable-record false
Or open your build.prop and find that line and change it from this:
Code:
setprop media.stagefright.enable-record=true
To this:
Code:
media.stagefright.enable-record=false
I think thats whats going on.
Not sure what I am doing wrong. Force closes for me. Renamed, set permissions, rebooted, wiped cache. Changed back to original camera.

you need to be rooted, change the name to BlurCamera.apk, place the .apk in /system/app/ , fix permissions, reboot, you may also have to edit the build.prop as per instructions in the earlier post
Followed instructions, rebooted phone and it works just like the original d3 camera, BUT, it starts A LOT FASTER!
Thanks!

Did you do the build.prop changes?

Just installed. I didnt reboot, so the first startup took a little bit but now it is a way faster startup and much more responsive. Great find man I hope ROM developers start including this from now on.
What about 1080p video recording?

No sir, Just switched the apk's.
Any idea why this is force closing on me? Used Root Explorer to rename it, copied it to system/app, set the permissions to the same as the other files in that folder, changed owner to root. Had to reboot, because the camera app was not showing as installed. After reboot, it was back, but it immediately force closes when I launch it. Tried clearing data in app management, also tried wiping cache in recovery.

Really, I tested the camera the whole day today. It really is really fast now. Finally I do love the camera too!
BTW: Would please someone move this thread to General? I posted in the wrong section, sorry!
@jfont25 I think you have to remove (backup) BlurCamera.odex too. I don't know!

Don't select them... that's spam 100%. Get rid off what you've installed recently (HD Wallpaper app was the culprit in my case). But, whatever you do, do NOT go to that link!
Wouldn't be adfree that's for sure, never had a problem with it.
Is there any app whick can tell me where this ads come from? I never had them before until I installed adfree, I uninstalled it already thought it came from it..
This has been happening since day 1 with my HTC One and I haven't figured it out yet. I am assuming it is a Ultra-pixel issue and I was hoping the problem would fix itself but it has not. For example, I first noticed in my banks app when I take a picture of a check to electronically deposit it. It gives you an outline of 4 corners to line up the check. I snap a picture and the picture is all stretched out and very weird. Next app is Google Drive app. Take a picture of a document for it to turn into a pdf and no matter what the image is always distorted and cropped and unusable. I tested out another app like instagram and facebook that use the camera and they work fine. Any ideas? Can someone else very this for me?
I have the same issue with my banks app. I don't have a solution but I feel your pain
