[ReResolved] Overcome ROM & Camera issues

Hi All...
I got my Unbranded GSM Phone+Wifi+3G version of Galaxy Tab on Jan 1st 2011 and finally voided warranty yesterday after watching the forums for a long time now..
I successfully install the overcome kernel and the rom.. Although, I didnt follow the instructions suggested.. I didnt do a Re-stock and didnt wipe ny Internal SD...
Every thing works great and the phone is too good .. Thanks to the ROM .. Alterbridge..
Only thing is .. the Camera doesnt work:
Code:
Warning
Camera Failed
I know it is not fair to ask for help without following the suggested steps .. But still curious to get it fixed of there are ways.. I restored all the Data but the mistake I did is also I also restored System Apps..
To try fixing.. I restored the Camera.Apk from the ROM.. (after mounting the root in r/w mode) ..
Just looking for any other suggestions...
If nothing works.. I would restock the kernel.. but restoring the apps and data is a bit painful.. (I only have the free version of Titanium backup)...
Thanks..
PS: Also, I havent posted much on forums..hence unable to reply to the main thread..but it would be still unfair to ask there as I havent followed the instructions...

BTW Calendar App are FCing.. Just realized..

Camera
Hi, did you get any reply?
I'm having the same issue.

Not not yet.. thinking of restocking and wiping now... backing up

This time I will not restore all the apps..
Also, a bit worried in full flashing and restocking but will still try...
Which other ROMS have you tried..? Thinking of also checking roto jmiv2 ...

just be aware that if you follow the overcome installation guide and use the jmk safe installation package, your internal sd WILL get wiped

Yes.. aware of that.. redid the whole thing.. titanium backup started FCing.. redid the ROM.zip part again.. TB works after that.. restored most of my stuff.. seems all is well
Thanks for all your suggestions ..cheers!

back to beginning
Some exchange experiment srewed up my phcone.. got auto wiped...
now reconfired all data & apps.. and my camera is again not working.. F%@%@U&@ really frustrated

Also I tried Video call.. the front camera doesnt work.. Any suggestions?
No time to wipe out and redo everything this week

After upgrading to Overcome Rom my camera now fails when I try to open it.
I read in the Overcome thread over in the Development forum this
"the camera has linked & shared libraries with the Email application. Try to replace Email.apk with a stock version. That usually fixes 99.99% of all problems with the camera app."
Where do I get the stock Email.apk ? and how do I replace the one I'm using with the stock one ?
Thanks for any help,

[SOLVED] Unstable accelerometer on ICS rom

I'm desperate with this one please help me! I'm using SlimICS but it seems like i have a miscalibrated accelerometer. I tried apps to calibrate but doesnt work. I read somewhere about the sensorcalibutil_yamaha located in /system/bin/ but I cant find mine. Cant play asphalt or any landscape accelerometer games bacause it kept tilting. I searched everywhere regarding this but still cant find an answer. Im using semaphore kernel in case it has something to do with this.

Solution: I flashed back to Gingerbread rom, did the horizontal calibration and flashed custom ICS rom. Works for me

Go into settings/display/horizontal calabration.
Please hit thanks!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

that wont help. As I've said, im on ICS rom and horizontal calibration is not in the settings. I tried gps status but didnt work either. I'd like to know how to calibrate it with emulator.

Well if you go back to gb and calabrate then go back to ice that might work. Unless of course you tried that already. Make backups in TB first if you don't want to lose anything.

Try reflash the rom you're on then u don't have wipe, only clear cache and dalvik
Maybe format system in recovery,find it in mount/storage and clear cache and dalvik,then reflash rom

I'll be putting the new nightly in a second so I'll try that. What will happen when I format system?

I had this same issue on my SGSII, tried everything with no sucess, only factory reset worked for me(Sorry).
Be carefull, i don't know if you are in ICS, but if you are, change to Abyss 4.2 before doing this, or else you might brick your Note!!

Had same issue a few days ago. Just ignored it as other attachments loaded. Just tried again (rebooted the phone yesterday) and it downloaded the PDF, which it didn't do the other day.
I put it down to a carrier error. I wouldn't advise factory reset - at most reflash modem only.

goto settings-->application--> select gmail --> clear cache --> reboot and try downloading again
else use some app to soft reboot/kill inactive processes, for ex : fast reboot or system panel app, then try downloading again

[Q]Root stock ICS 4.0.4.

Hi there,
I want to ask you all how do I root my stock ICS without installing other custom roms. I just need the stock to be rooted for me to install titanium back up and unroot it after the Jellybean official arrived.
I am having a lot of problem with game save files import and export. Cause most of the game save saved locally on phone.
Any help would be grateful!

Go through Dr.Ketan's guide..you will get to know everything about rooting.
I did the same thing when I first rooted my phone. Just rooted the stock ICS & was using it. So, under development section, you will find the kernel thread in which you will see Philz kernel. Select the one which is for your ICS version & flash it via PC Odin

just install the philz kernel using recovery and you will get root.

If I want to restore back to stock kernel, what should I do? flash stock kernel again?

Use Exynos Abuse.
It will work on ICS firmware only. (Not GIngerbread)

Its the safest, easiest and quickest method to root.
---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------
And before you start flashing ROMs left-right and up-down, read this

So I just need to flash kernel to have root access rights and using back my stock ICS?

I just updated thru Kies in Hong Kong, to 4.04 JB. I tried to use the camera and I had an alert blocking the camera screen and a message bar as follows "Tap and hold shortcuts to edit them. Also combined with it where the OK button was was a text box with the words scanning media in it.
Now, its working after I played with it, first I reboot, that didn't help. Then I accidentally put it into third party mode but hit the up volume to get out of it before it went into download mode. It started to reboot but I held the up-vol, home and on button until it went to the rest screen. I tried to just wipe the cache, but it didn't do anything, moving the selector up and down worked, I tried wiping cache again, no luck, so I just reboot. After rebooting I laid the phone down and started to look for a solution in here. So I go to try the camera again to get the alert message it had, and
Wha La, the darn camera started working right, the alert blocking the screen was gone, it came up as usual for a new triggering, but it accepted my selection when I told it ok and then it went away as usual, computers, micro-processors, no matter what kind, if you have problems, some times just a long shut down to clear the electronic memory will also clear the problems.

I do have exactly the same problems on my deodexed version. And until now no clue why. So let's see if another member finds or knows a solution.

this is what i found on for ICS on a similar issue
"- Download "Terminal Emulator" app from market
- open it
- type into the command:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
Go to home, force close your terminal app, shut your screen off, and when your turn it back on your lock screen should be there."

JB does not start. Hangs at the boot screen
Hi folks,
After I installed the official JB (from fantastic Eybee) the system announces sometime to check for software updates. If you allows that, after a short time you get the message that the system has been changed. And then the system restarts and remains at the boot screen stand. This happened to me 3 times. After that only helps a full wipe to Android running again.

I also get the message that the system has been modified but phone does not reboot. May be you need to clean install the rom again.

I solved my problems in my new version 1.3.
In XXLSA and XXLSC I do not have these problem (leaks and dumps). In official ICS or JB I do have the problems - but now solved with a workaround in my own Custom Rom (android.policy.jar).

Any idea how to fix with stock jb 4.1.2

AW: Problem on official jb
No. Not really. Because you need at least root for trying a workaround.
Switch to a deodexed Rom.

Eybee uses android.policy.jar from XXLSZ, try my Custom Rom (with the android.policy.jar from XXLSC) and check if you have lockscreens with this one (until now no 4-way-reboot, because I didn't implement it yesterday).
