Diamond camera problem

Hey guys of late i have started facing a problem with my diamond camera!!! after i click a pic all i can see is the busy cursor just keep on spinning !!! ad i get an error saying
" unable to switch to preview mode failed to setup the camera device"
(tried taking a pic using the contact photo option it works fine )
Bro dont panic this mainly happens when u r low on memory.
Just disable TF3d and then open camera and take pic.
And pls do not install anything on device storage, install everything in internal storage only.
And also install cleanRam app to free up ram.
And also uninstall all useless apps and then see if u get any error.
Camera needs atleast 40mb memory free i think, bro dont worry and ur problem will be gone after this.

Hero With Bluetooth

First off sorry if I got your hopes up with the above heading
Anyways Now that I got your attention
I would like to know how do you undo all cache to the sd
I used the stupid @ss ta utility from the market trying to see if I could undo the marrket cache, that isn't revertable(< is this even a word???)I tried multiple methods searched found one posting that was a total fail
And now I'm looking into straight up commands to revert
I know uninstalling the app doesn't undo the changes it just leaves them alone and still keeps on telling the phone to push all cache to sd
So what's next deleteing the folder that stores the cache just causes force closes so what the hec?
I've tried reflashing, over the current settings but with no wipe cuz I don't want to lose my current setup
So anyhelp appreciated
Thanks In Advance
If you don't want to wipe you will need to remove the symlinks, copy the folders to internal memory, and reboot the phone.
BTW did you notice it took 10 hours to get a response. People aren't too eager to help after being mislead into reading. Next time try a subject that fits the post & I can almost guarantee you will get responses quicker.
Agreed. I just now checked this out after seeing ONE post maybe 1 or 2 more now that it reads 2 replies I thought this was someone asking if a hero rom had bluetooth support and was gonna laugh

It's because it cant fit in the system partition. Quentin himself made a little guide, how to make a bootable zip from the new nightlies. HERE it is. I deleted the Live Wallpapers and some other stuff i would disable anyway.

Here i take this message too (status 7), but in zip package don't have as live wallpapper apk, have some more apk's i have to exclude or someting more?
Sory for my poor english!
Yes, the newest nightly doesnt have live wallpapers by default. You have to delete some other stuffs.
Ringtones, some fonts are safe to delete. (and those asian fonts eats up at least 8Mb...)
I can't make it work too. I tried to delete some stuff, but I don't know what is safe to delete or not.
I don't need Live Wallpapers and so on, but the apk isn't in the zip file anymore.

Try booting ROM form that post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32403158#post32403158
Its already prepared for booting. Before that you better wipe all user data and cache - it should work after that
The installation worked, but my Milestone stuck while the boot logo is shown.
Edit: Works after a restart, but now it tells me every minute that text-to-speech has crashed. >.<
CM10 boot issue with latest nightly
Greetings all, I am new to this forum so bear with me :laugh:
I have just tried out the latest rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445209
(I am currently running CM9)
It boots to a blank screen with just the bar at the top, which seems to work, but no home screen to be seen :crying:
I understand there won't be a wallpaper, but I should see icons, right?
I have cleaned all the caches and reset to factory before installing, but nothing ..
I do not have the /data partition though, is that necessary?
Thanks,
B.
You should have wallpaper, only the live wallpapers were deleted by default.
I guess, the problem is your /data partition. It's necessary to wipe it if you upgrade your rom. Wiping it should solve your problem.
Well, after some restarts it's working. But Angry Birds isn't running and World of Goo is lagging. Isn't the great project butter working?

Hmm, I don't have a /data partition yet ... I guess that is the problem.
Question: If I create a new SD card with a FAT32 partition at the start and an EXT3 at the end, can I just copy my phone SD card contents
including hidden files to the FAT32 partition, put it in the phone and all will be good?
I am guessing that the OS will find the partition and create a mount point for it and that I don't have to do that, right?
Thanks,
B.

Project Butter improves the reactiveness of the UI and increases the framerate.
But the reason for games not working is a lack of RAM (in 90% of the cases).
To circumvent this you need to use a kernel that supports zRAM and/or swap.

So I created the card with the new partition and it works fine with my CM9 backup from nandroid.
When I try to install CM10 I deleted all the caches, factory reset etc and installed CM10.
When it eventually booted to the setup wizard, I enter all the information and it says it is complete, but then on exit the wizard dies and I am left with the status bar and a black screen ..
I tried re-booting, but it won't boot until I go and delete the caches etc again ..
What's wrong?:crying:
Did you wipe everything from recovery? Because doing a Factory Reset might not be enough.

What does "Did you wipe everything from recovery" mean? If you mean did I execute all of the three menu options in recovery, then yes I did that.
However, I do have it going now ... but only after many resets .. and I got stuck on the setup app crashing ..
I am using it and have found it a bit flakey .. slows down at times and the keyboard goes away sometimes, I have to use the hard keyboard.
EDIT: Found the reason for that was voice typing was on for some reason.
I also noticed that the font is very light (alsmost un-readable) in contacts, I have to hold the phone at an angle to be able to read the names.
Here is the cure for the font problem:
Open "HWA Settings" and disable "Contacts" and "Messaging".

Cool thanks, that did it ..:good:
So what is "HWA Settings" anyway?
If an app don't need hardware acceleration, than it will ask the system to not to do it, but sometimes it's just not working properly and with HWA Settings we can disable the hw acc on that app.

Do what dheeraj said, go to manage apps > all > apollo and tap force stop, then clear data, reboot. If it doesn't help, wipe only cache and dalvik and reboot.

Zrcam uninstall or .thumbdata3-1763508120 fix

I have sony Xperia Z1 with stock rom and xposed flash. Obviously rooted too. If i have missed anything, you can ask me in the comments section
I have flashed zrcam but when I click pictures, they are very huge. I do not have any problem with it being captured as i can delete them but what makes me worried, is that two thumbnail files have being created in my thumbnails folder which is currently taking up 2.69 and 2.68gb of my storage each. One of the file name is .thumbdata3-1763508120.
I have tried deleting these files but they appear back again or my camera stops working. I rebooted the phone several times and the camera started working with those massive files appearing back again. Also i have tried deleting pictures in those thumbnail folder but the size of the thumbnail file doesn't decrease. Pictures taken from my phone are saved in sd card and these stupid files are in the internal memory .
My question is, is there any way i could delete this file or i could delete the zrcam? Where can i get the stock camera app to flash. Sorry but i didn't back it up. I never knew i would face this issue. Please if anyone could help me that would be great!
Thanks a lot!

I have disabled the album app and then deleted those files but after sometime the files appear back again, the gallery app being already disabled. And i do not even have gbs of pictures. It can be 1gb total, maybe! Why are these files so big??

I have tried this trick by creating a file of the same name but that stopped my camera app. The app started crashing, so i rebooted back again and it was fine but on the other hand, the files came back again too, lol
