[Q] camera failed, downgrade to 2.2

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.

no, it's not just sound but the camera won't open.. that's why I want to try 2.2 to check if my camera app would be fine.
BTW, what JellyBean ROM are you using?

I'm using SCH-I800 (gtab verizon) and I'm stuck with camera not working. Error : camera has stopped.
I'm tried 2 rom : cm 9.1 p1c and aokp milestone 6.
Anyone got issue same me?

MDP issues
Could MDP issues crash camera hardware??
Could changing ROM from an MDP to a non-MDP crash the camera drivers??
hope anyone could clear things.. thanks in advance

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.

[Q] [HELP] Camera i897 Cappy

hi bros!!!
days I have a problem with my camera and my cappy Galaxy s i897 ..
in GB and ICS goes black image! .. JB and 2.3.7 and the app closes and says: Unfortunately the gallery was to stopped.
I've done everything I've tried roms and nothing .. you buy the camera! Internet and install it and nothing .. jb sometimes at work but not now.
what he saw that some had my problem and updated the firmware of your camera .. the question is?? how to update the camera firmware of Captivate? or recommend I do?
please help me!
sorry for my english.
I did a downgrade right now to see q and nothing happened!
always stays that way! .. I leave the attached picture
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.

Although it was not possible to adjust this, it is still a bug that nobody could solve completely, some ROM can still shoot, but always with a problem such as the Slim Bean (here is the problem and the audio quality of the footage is still bad )
One more thing, could post the link of ICS Camera that you downloaded?
Sorry my english

I have the CM10.1 Nightly ROM on my P970 V20j and the camera works great for taking pictures. Recording videos works "ok". It records a little jumpy (lower frame rate) for some reason. Can play back the videos without issues.
I should also add that the first few times I ran the camera (either taking pictures or videos) it caused several "force-close" and even caused it to reboot into recovery a couple times. Since then, it has worked fine without causing force-close, accept for the lower frame-rate video recording I mentioned.

I am on v20q rom with v30c baseband (cm10 installed over) installed by smart flash tool, now if I was to change the rom and baseband do you think it'll work?
Suppose it's worth a try seems though I will do a nandroid backup before I try
Oh I just realized v20j is either Canada or China and I'm in United Kingdom would this make a difference?

Yep, I'm in Canada.
I'm not sure if it will work as I'm still pretty new to all this Android rooting and hacking. Learning fast though...
I don't want to tell you I think something should work if it ends up messing up your phone...lol. I just wanted to let you know what I have and how well it works in comparison.

lol thank you, well I will try it on my own back if it goes wrong it's my own fault ^^ but I know I can just revert back to my original phone state from a nandroid backup if you don't what that is it's basically Clock work mod based recovery which backup the entire phone everything setting etc... the only thing it didn't revert back the last time I did it was the base band lol so I just re flashed only the base band and it doesn't wipe so the phone was back to normal

Yeah, I've been using titanium backup which has worked well so far.
Be warned, CM10.1 Nightly is not without it's own glitches... Certain apps require being moved to the internal memory so they don't get uninstalled when ever the phone re-boots.
I'm still searching for the most stable 4.2.2 ROM for the Black. Seems there are a few up now that might be worth trying out (Pacman and Mackay ROM's)...
I am happy with CM10.1 and thank those here on Xda who worked hard on it to get it working as smoothly as it does. :good: I don't really have any issues with it, other than some minor things.

Just an update on my previous post:
Recording video would still cause FC and then reboot (occasionally into recovery).
Flashed the latest Mackay 4.2.2 ROM (v2.7.6) yesterday and even though the video recording still crashes after a random amount of time, it no longer causes reboot. Also the camera in Mackay ROM has auto-focus which didn't work previously for me with CM10.1.
As long as I can take decent pictures, I'm happy. I rarely ever use video recording on my phone anyways.

And how about getting the miui camera apk for cm10.1? :good:

I can be wrong, but where i know so far, the developer of rom MIUI here on xda for p970 dont seed his job, because he dont get this things on other roms, he modifys in his own way. But is a great alternative, miui camera works excelent, tested yesterday and love it!

Does it work on Mackay ROM?

I have just got nemesisX rom with toccata kernel 0.3 overclocked to 1.1ghz and bravia engine2 and build prop tweak etc...
Its really good also the camera is so smooth on hd recording and the quality is excellent with no lag what so ever but the camera has always been good even when not rooted or on stock rom, still really good its just any jelly bean rom

Can't launch camera
As many of you know camera lags and crashes on p970 on all cyanogenmods ( i tried like 20 variations of it all had same ) Video recording doesn't last more like 3-20 secs till it stops, and then camera stops working and phone can't connect to camera unless you reboot your phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091599 i downloaded all cameras from here, but i don't know how to install them.. I unzip .zip file and inside i get 2 folders "system" and "META-INF", inside meta inf i find some folders and .RSA .SF and ,MF files. Inside system i find .apk file (doesn't install alone), camera.tegra.so this file and some other files. So can you tell me where should i put those files so i can install camera? i feel like omg, so many files with no description how to install...

The file isn't to extract. Just flash it through recovery.

did someone tried the 4.3 cam? everytime i take a picture the screen freezes, so i have to choose front cam, then switch back to back cam in order to get the app work normally
is there any fix for this?

[Q] Nothing will get my IMEI working on CM! Different /efs folder files!

Ok guys, so here's what's happening... I have tried every method I could find online in order to get my IMEI to be recognized in the CM11. At first I tried it with the CM10.2 to no avail, and now I am failing with the latest one.
When I rollback to 2.2 or 2.3.3 my IMEI starts working again. HOWEVER, even with these stock versions, my efs folder contains a DIFFERENT set of files inside. In particular I have one file LESS (I think). It is the nv_data.bin. I do not know why I don't have that file, nor why my IMEI works without it!
But the point is that I, then, cannot use that "stock" efs folder to replace the new one created when I flash the CM11! Do you see my problem?! What should I do?! I really don't want to keep the 2.3.3 having experimented the CM11! I am sending a printscreen of my "backed-up" efs stock folder with hidden files enabled to see if anyone has an idea.
Please help me out! I am desperate here!
PS: MY model is the i9000b (from brazil) which is why I do not have a stock 2.3.6 (I think).

Go back to GB and then upgrade to KK in steps.
GB/ICS/JB/KK
I know some people haven't had any problems with jumping straight to KK from GB, but the only ever time that I personally lost my IMEI was when I was on GB and installed JB, missing out ICS...

Thanks for the suggestion. I might try that in the future, I'm kind of sick of rolling back and flashing over and over again for now. The good news is that my problem is (partially) fixed. I went back to KK (CM11) and still don't have IMEI but I can call and get calls again. It turns out my stupid carrier had blocked my SIM for some reason, so at least now it's useable again!

I've got a nightly CM11 for I9000B running. The battery tells me it's the screen (34%), the Android System (20%) and then surprisingly a game I play not as often as the 10% would represent. I already have my brightness lowered to half and still my battery seems to be getting worse and worse.
Going to try batterybetterystats and get back to you now!

Ok so batterybatterystats is paid :/ Any other free suggestions?

How long is your full time from a charge, and how much screen on time?

Camera not working in 4.1.2

I have to use 4.1.2 becuase of GSM. (I cannot use 4.3/4.4 because it will connect to T-Mobile HSPA but not send/recieve data.) Camera will work on 4.3 and 4.4 easily. But, on 4.1.2 using stock deodexed, it won't start the camera. The camera just force closes. I am on the first firmware, too.

Yeah, I have even tried that.

If you sent your phone in for repairs or got it new post the camera fix then the camera module isn't backward compatable with some roms like miui u will not get access to the back camera

Hmm that shouldn't be happening. Kind of strange. A possible solution however, is to flash the latest firmware, but I'm not sure how that would react to the old Android version. So if you want to be adventurous, try that out. If not though, go to Sprint/HTC and get it fixed from them.

After using SVN checkout on that Sense 5 and 4.2.2 ROM, and installing it camera worked. But only the front facing one, and it had the pink tint (I fixed it by changing settings though). I tried replacing libs from newer ROMs and made it worse. So, I'm getting close.

I have the same issue that you did. I cannot upgrade my android version cause of GSM and my camera isn't working would you be kind enough to explain how you were able to fix it, I would really appreciate it, thank you
