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

Figured I'd make a thread, so its easier to follow and find this thing.
All bug reports and the majority of development for cyanogenmod 6 on the incredible on xda should remain in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722478
In fact, there really should be no reason to post anything here, but i know it will happen anyway...so lets try to keep it on topic and not let this thing run wild like so many other threads have been doing.
CREDITS
Before getting started, one thing needs to be clear. I did not do anything here other than smash together some things that other people did. No thanks is necessary to me, i did not code, nor compile anything.
Instead thank (in no particular order):
-koush, and cyanogenmod team for the rom
-koush, ejhart/hydra, rmk40 for the kernel with wifi bug fix. Get the here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7546856 (it should also be noted, that this may not be totally fixed, for now live without wifi or with an occasional lock up. when we get a .32 kernel this should be fixed)
-CaptainTaco for finding where to put the /emmc mount command
-Xevin for the cyanogenmod boot animation
-unrevoked for making this all possible on this, as well as several other phones
-and probably several others that i forgot or didnt know about
This is a straight cyanogenmod rom, with a couple modifications.
-rmk40 posted a kernel that fixes a bug that makes the phone lock up when resuming from 'sleep' mode. currently the kernel is v2 and included in this rom
-set /emmc to mount on boot. this does not mean that everything can see it (gallery, and music and such cannot) but it is accessible with astro, adb, etc.
-Xevin's boot animation from: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/1985-custom-cyanogenmod-boot-animation/ this is now included by default
It should also be noted that eventually, i believe, this 'mash-up' will be obsolete. Once the rom is complete for the incredible, these sorts of features will most likely be included in the original rom. (maybe not the boot animation, but we'll see).
Basically what I am getting at is that you should check the linked thread at the top of this post, as well as stickies and popular threads in this sub-forum before using this rom. I will do my best to keep it updated if it needs to be done.
I also recommend doing a nandroid and a wipe (WIPE INSIDE CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY, NOT FROM ROM MANAGER!) before trying to flash any of these.
You do not need to update your radio for this rom, but it wont hurt if you do/did.

Having issues with gps on mashup. Anyone else?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
built in wireless tether probably wont work, it should work with the app though, "wireless tether for root users"
also, gps for me kinda works, but its a really big circle and im not really close to the center
i may be wrong, but i think these issues will subside once there is a .32 kernel to build for cyanogenmod
currently, since htc has not officially released froyo for the incredible, we do not have the source code for the .32 incredible kernel
once the officially release froyo, it will probably be a few weeks/months before the source is available
I just rooted my Dinc for the first time using the unrEVOked tool. What do I need to start install to put this ROM on my phone? Also what are the steps to installing the ROMs? Sorry I'm still super new to Android. I understand adb push and all of that to get a custom bootloader.

my gps never works the first time i open it, i have to close navigation and then re open it and enter the address. Then it works flawlessly. weird but has done this on test8, all nightlys and mashups.
with this ROM installed when I click on the app drawer there is no market. any ideas????
Recently I went back to a stock looking android ROM.
For now I've chosen Improvement v5 ultralite + Dark Core Kernel v 2.7.3.
Everything with the ROM works just fine, but the stock theme still bothers me.
I've downloaded 3 different themes for JVB. Everytime I try to install the .zip through CWM (v3.0.2.whatever) it tells me E:/*path* couldnt be opened (bad). installation aborted... (or something similar).
Tried to install some apps through CWM (>gtalk 1.3b) and it worked just like it should. Flashing other ROMs also worked out fine with that new version of CWM.
Does anyone know whats wrong?!
btw I used a MIUI ROM before...
Thank you in advance
Sounds like it could be a legacy left from miui, maybe try a clean instal?

Hi!
I've been using my Galaxy S (I9000 16gb) with Darky's 10.1 and Voodoo for a couple of months and now i have flashed latest Darky's 10.2. I understand that Darky is working hard on his releases, but for several reasons i don't like 10.2 version at all.
Can you please recommend me a good fast ROM with good modem part for a GPS and latest version voodoo kernel? I constantly use GPS and listen to the music so these are the crucial parts. Or maybe just separate modem and voodoo kernel that I can flash on a Cyanogenmod for example.
Thank you!

GPS depends on region, I'm from Europe.
Also u should try newest Darkys based on JVQ cuz they wont continue JVR development.
hmm , with all the music controls on the lockscreems aamd all the optional lockscreens you get with the nexus S gps fix , I wonder why nobody has suggested my rom .
Older ROM
I've upgraded to both JVR and JVS ROMs, but always found myself going back to the JVQ ROM instead, and just flashed updated system apps, etc.
Battery life is poor on the upgrades, and not as efficient...some are quite slow.
The best (fastest and most stable) ROM I've tested is F1 SGSII ROM Faryaab V6.
The developer released v7 of this ROM (JVR), but not as good, so again downgraded.
I've tried close to 10 ROMs (JVP, JVQ, JVR, JVS), including the stock ROMs for these upgrades, but none are better.
I suggest, if there is a ROM you like, use it, then just search/browse for apps you liked from other ROMs and create your custom feel.
market doesn't work
Thank you guys! I have flashed Darky's 10.3 and now I can't download any apps from the market, it just keeps saying something like "Starting download". I experienced same thing on 10.2. What is the problem? This is ROMs fault or something is wrong with settings? Everything was working back on the 10.1.

Which version of Android Market do you have?
Some of the newer custom ROMs clash with the older version of the market for no particular reason. Do a google search for version 3.0.27, which I think is the latest for Market. Install the apk and hopefully your problems are resolved.

If you have tryed all ics rom's than I don't know!

Hi good afternoon,
I have red some forums for my SGT p1000, but never found answer to my question.
I have tried several ROM (4.04, 4.1.1) but still can't find the one with good camera. While opening the camera, it always crashed "Camera not responding". Also, tried some application from Google Play as advised in other forums but they still failed. stucked at camera initialising"
I also restocked using Overcome safe method.. tried the camera, and it also indcates "Camera failed".. I am not sure what have happened since I came from 2.2 ROM wiith the camera working flawlessly.
Can someone give me an instruction on how to downgrade to 2.2 and link to official 2.2 ROMs..
Thanks and really appreciate if someone could help
why don't you just use the overcome gb stock safe method that you used before.
it will be an official GB JQ1 rom.
why must it be a 2.2 ?
Edit: didn't read that you said overcome stock safe also has camera failed.
strange.

I've had the same type of problem on my vzw tab. I played around with CM9 and the app would crash if using the flash. Right now I'm on an unofficial "beta kang" gb 2.3.5 ROM and the camera almost completely works, except it crashes if I try to use the front camera in video mode. (The front camera works for snapshots, and it works in other apps like Skype). The stock roms seem to be the only ones that have a 100 percent correct working camera. There are rooted stock roms out there, so I'd suggest one of those.
