CWM zip fix for Front Facing Camera?

Hi
Apart from going back to JS8, is there anyone has a fix for the front facing camera orientation or is there a custom rom that fixes it? I'm getting desperate...
Using Fring video test call, the received video is upside down. Tango and Qik are effected too. I'm getting corrupt video recordings from the FFC using Qik.

damain posted a fix and several rom makers ported it over to their roms as fixes and updates

I've been looking for an update or kernel but am a bit of a newbie as regards custom roms etc. Is it possible just to apply a camera fix on the stock JVH ? I do have cf-root.

Have not found a fix for this yet. Is it a gingerbread bug or is it just galaxy s owners are having this issue?

+1, I was using Damians's JVH kernel and his CWM fix worked great. Not sure if it will work with CFroot, most likely not.

[Q] Nexus One Camera stopped working

About 3 days ago I flashed my rooted Nexus One to the latest CyanogenMod ROM. Since then, I have just not been able to get the camera app working.
When I click on the Camera app, the screen goes blank for a moment and then, I get the message: Activity Camera (in application Camera) is not responding.
ROM - CyanogenMod-7.1.0-N1
Baseband Version - 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernel Version - 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-01509-g8913be8
I have read the forums and done the following:
Deleted the Camera cache
Deleted all 3rd party apps/widgets that might interfere with the camera
Installed a newer Camera APK
Flashed the OxygenRom and some other ROMs to see if that could get the camera working
Flashed different Kernels
No joy yet. I stumbled onto this thread and that didn't fix it either. Do you guys have any other ideas?
Would be great if you guys can help, I am online and will reply back quickly after trying out your suggestions

Can no one help to fix my problem?

Strange camera problem

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

Did you try restore the image back to the previous rom and try to reinstall the trouble rom again?

Video worked fine for me in CM7.1 and CM7.2, both of which are Gingerbread. It also worked on Froyo.
Video is known not to work on the early ICS firmwares.

I did but video cam still not working

http://i50.tinypic.com/2r5xdfp.jpg

I would do brand new install through Odin or heimdall via download mode
thereafter check camera module connection if re flash won't help
good luck
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app

talk about a downgrade? and if that works then as I q?

first, you have to check whether it works or not
the best way to check it is to use brand new stock ROM via Odin or heimdall.
if the camera and phone works go and grab custom ROM of your choice.
if not, you have to check inner hardware...
good luck!

Either the camera you bought online is defective or the physical connection on the board is bad... Of course there's always the chance that the connectors on the board have some corrosion on them and if you cleaned them all would be better. Or you could have installed the camera upside down so it's just seeing the inside of the phone...

I clean the contacts on the card and is well connected the camera! .. I sold the cappy used, and it came with that problem, quisas previous owner modified the driver of the camera or something, I tried the camera on another cappy and it works.
