Is the camera stable in any roms? New or old. - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a touchpad that is still running CM9 and the camera doesn't work with it. I would like to give it to my mom so she can Tango with our daughter while she is out of town. Can anyone advise on which rom is most stable specifically for using the camera?
Thanks in advance!

Hey there mate, I've found success with jcsullins CM10.1 VPN test build. Bluetooth, Camera, GPS, TabletUI patch and everything else works flawlessly!

Thanks for the response. I'll try that soon asap.
Edit: Is the filename "cm-10.1-20131210-SNAPSHOT-VPN-tenderloin.zip"?
Thanks!

Yup that's the one! I recommend doing a clean install using the new ACMEInstaller and upgrading your moboot and recovery as well (if you haven't already)

Do I need to resize the partitions with that one? I've seen some threads for the new roms require new partition sizes.
Thanks again!

Not a problem! Yes you will need to resize some partition, but not to the extent that is being done for the data media builds (CM10.2, CM11). When you do the install, just select a higher /system allocation (I think 500 or 600 mb). The other partitions should stay the same.

CM RC1-RC2

Hey guys,
I have a nexus one currently running cm7 rc1.
I heard that rc2 came out.
Is there anyway that I could upgrade to rc2 without loosing anything that I currently have on rc1?
What do I do? Could I use rom manager?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Just flash it over but do a backup first just in case.
Yes, just use ROM Manager to flash to RC2, just don't do a factory reset / wipe and all your settings and apps will carry over.
Depending on what kid of user you are, you may also want to look at Titanium Backup, its a pretty amazing tool. It has a slight learning curve but it really lets you take control of what you want to carry over from one build to the next, specially when you are going between different rom products that require a complete wipe
Soooo, all I have to do is to download the rom and gapps, and only do a backup- no wipe. After I do that will I have the same layout as rc1 but it will be rc2?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Yes, but be careful, flashing can be habit forming and RC's are a gateway drug. You'll be a crackflasher in no time.

Should we wipe to move from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
You shouldn't need to wipe whenever you move minor versions, but it doesn't always work perfectly, and sometimes you end up needing to wipe anyway. Always nandroid, just in case something ends up going wrong on the new install.

Phone stuck at splash screen please help!

I've followed the instructions below for installing jelly bean and my phone will do everyhing but once I flash the jelly bean ROM (and I've tried 3 different ones) they all get stuck at the boot screen. The phone is unlocked, rooted, has ext4recovery, blackrose, sd partitioned . Current ROM is cm 10 and its sitting at the cm screen. It will go into fastboot. Everything was done according to the instructions. What is missing. Please help me. Been working on it for hours.
Thank you

Is your partition layout 268/168/0? Can't really read it on that small picture. If it is, then there's your problem. Or do you have an ext-partition for A2SD on your µSD-card for userdata?
Unfortunately, no it is an 8. Darn. I also do not have that other thing you asked installed on the card.
I just can't quite understand why it appears that everything is set up right but just gets stuck at that boot screen.
Please if you can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
So it's 268/160/8 ? Then there's still your problem. It should be 268/8/160 [system/cache/userdata].
Thank you soooo much!! I have a question. How do I change it ? I wonder how come it isn't right.. But, most importantly I am grateful for you helping me.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
You can change it by using blackrose.exe or by flashing one of these partition layouts in your recovery.
I believe they are not all on the front page, so search inside that topic too if you can't find your preferred partition layout.

Resize BlackRose (system : 260, cache: 8 , the rest will automatically be set to userdata).
And install 4EXT recovery on your phone and re-partition your SD card. That is what tommert38 has mentioned over there. You need atleast 1 GB of space in order to install apps onto your SD card.
recovery flashable zip of 260/8/168

It still causes a boot-image loop when I try to boot off the SD with the zip installed. I can't try the internal emmc at the moment due to my nook being used and I can't risk breaking any apps.

I've cleared dalvik cache and fixed permissions but no change. Is there anything I can do? Or do I need to make a new card. I run mine off an SD install by the way.

What size SD are you using. And what is the brand and class. I know in CM10 if it did not like how your SD was responding, it would mount some of the SD as read only. If that happened to /data, that would make apps not work right and not install properly.
Go to /data with your root file manager and see if you can create a file there.

BOOTSTRAP

Hi all,
Just got a Droid3 for my work phone. I'm rooted and I've installed RomManager but after installing CWM I am not able to reboot into recovery. Further research indicates I need a bootstrap application. Does anyone have one they could post a link to? All the links I am finding are dead.
THanks
yes you need bootstrap if you want to use ROM manager
most just use safestrap and skip ROM manager

Performance is really great, no noticable performance reduction. Go for it :laugh: :good:
right, any loss in performance, is minimal
the multiple slots makes trying a new rom very easy
just note, cm10.1 and newer AOKP roms must be on slot 1
and hash should be releasing roms with the new kernel, any day now

I'm afraid I disagree. Safestrap mounts .img files as loop devices, which, as I understand and based on my own experience, is slower than mounting an actually disk partition. I was previously running minimoto on Safestrap and while I found it faster than anything else out there, I find it even faster when is flashed to the actual system partition. I have some bootstraps on my computer of you are still interested OP

Ready to change my old android 4.0 for 4.2.2

Hi people!!!
I'm ready to change my old android 4.0 for a new one, i'm thinking in 4.2.2 because it's newer and i think that has less bugs that this version.
But i'm worried about my apps, and services, like my gps points and my advace in my games and download again everything!!!
So, i want to know if exist any app to avoid download all again, and keep my info, like my notes, my downloads and everything.
Thanks in advance for the help!!!

Google will back up all of your apps if you opted to do so. Make a nandroid back up in recovery, as well as a TiBu backup. Then when you isntall 4.2.2 you should be able to recover everything with those 3 backups.

Going from 4.0 to 4.2.2 could cause issues though so be warned that after you restore your data you could encounter FC's. Not saying it will happen but there is always a chance. Especially considering that there is a completely different partition layout between where you are and where you are wanting to go.

Yes that would work perfectly as far as restoring apps. However the restore of user data for the apps so he has his last save point on a game or is already logged into Facebook might be a different story. With the use of the /datadata partition in JB it could cause issues. But it might not I really don't know.

Try both out. I would start by doing all your backups and then upgrade and try to restore your data. If it works then go with it. If you have problems resort to the other option.
