Camera doesnt work (takes the picture, but the camera stays locked). Does anyone else have the same problem?. Also I cant play videos and when I try I get a notice that it is impossible to play the video and the system locks up or reboots.
Hi there,
The camera as well as a load of other things (audio, FC's) have been fixed in his latest nightly build (20140219). I flashed this same build yesterday to my old p970 and it's absolutely stunning. Lag is minimal despite the limited 512mb RAM, and it's way more stable and faster than even previous Velox 4.3.1 release. Try it here:

Good luck.

I've been on CM6 stable since it was released and everything has been peachy.
A week or two ago, though, I fancied trying the korean radio and a new kernel (an intersectraven one) - the first time I've experimented with either. I usually just stay with whatever the ROM comes with.
Now I have discovered my downloaded videos no longer play. Well, they play for about half a second then I get the "Sorry, this video cannot be played" message. Videos taken with the camera play fine.
I thought it might have something to do with the radio or the kernel, so firstly I changed the kernel to the pershoot one that's available in ROM Manager. No success there, so next up was the radio. I downgraded back to 4.06 (not too bad since the korean one didn't offer a significant improvement on data speeds). Unfortunately the videos are still not playing
Will I have to reinstall CM6? If yes, will any of my settings revert to default? I know I would necessarily have to wipe, but I'm worried that even flashing CM6 on top of CM6 without a wipe, it'd wipe all my configurations.
Thanks to anyone who knows how to fix this slight issue.
p.s. whilst typing this out, I've found that Rockplayer still plays them, but I'd still like to get the stock player running them if possible.
Hello everyone,
After lots of searching and no solution, I decided to post the problem here.
I have been using Cyanogen mods for the past couple of months and I am pretty happy with it. It's fast, reliable and generally stable.
The same I believe also for MIUI and derivatives such as Minberry, Galnet etc.
I haven't able to pinpoint the exact time this problem happened, but I believe it started after the 7.1 update.
Since then, HD video on ALL Cyanogen roms I have tried, is choppy and terrible.
I have tested Cyanogen roms, MIUI, MIUI US, Galnet MIUI and Minteberry. I have also tested in combination with Platipus kernel, default kernels and glitch kernel. I have also tested with various radios. I have tried several different apps for video recording.
Still I get the same, choppy, laggy and generally frustrating video recording functionality, when I use HD recording.
I don't know what else to try. I am currently running the latest Mintberry 1.11.18 and the latest glitch kernel and I am having the same problem.
The weird thing is that, my brother also has the i9000 with Cyanogen mod and he doesn't have this problem, camcorder on his phone works fine.
I have tried going back to stock roms and Darky's, but I have found the sluggishness and speed, more frustrating than the camcorder not working.
I have read that this is a common problem with Cyanogen mods, but I am not sure that this is the case. I mean, why is there a problem on some devices and on others there is no problem?
In any case, has anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?
If I am not able to solve this problem, I will eventually sell the phone and buy something else. I like MIUI and the Galaxy S in general, but not being able to record my little daughter while she grows up, beats the purpose of having it
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Got a sim free o2x and immediately upgraded it to gingerbread using LG's tool.
I have noticed that the performance degrades over time especially noticable with scrolling web pages and youtube.
From a clean boot, i fire up youtube and can watch big bug bunny in 1080p full screen and very smooth. When I come back to it a few days lastr, the same video stutters and the audio also skips. I can create this effect a lot quicker by playing something with the built in video player. After having played a video on SD card, i go back to youtube and its a stutter show again.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this using standard gingerbread on the O2x? I'v tried killing various apps and uninstalling others but nothing very scientific and the only way I can get back to normal performance if with a reboot. Any help gratefully appreciated!
Sounds to me like the ram is busy. Just try an app that cleans up the ram.
Stock kernel has bug in memory management. Solution is to flash for example Spica's kernel, latest r11-c is very very good.
Evidently that supposes to root - instal clockwork mod recovery first.

I have a problem with Spica's kernel , I think that it doesnt support netfilter (iptables) thus I cant use Droidwall, any solution?
Thanks
Instal iptables from market?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mgranja.iptables
Edit: the app says that iptables is already installed in kernel, not in the latest version but present. That's perhaps the problem. Only thing is to ask Spica to update to last version.
Ohhhh, i will check it later! thanks!!!
Have tried some RAM clean up apps, unfortunately it makes no difference. The amount of RAM free seemed to make no difference, i had it running smoothly with 82mb free and stuttering with over 100mb ram. If something like this was happening on my linux box I would assume something is hogging the cpu but the apps i have tried seem to indicate nothing is consuming a lot of cpu resources.
I don't want to consider reflashing with another ROM if I can avoid it. Is there anything else I could try?
Kernel problem. Read above.

Reboot your dam phone then.... pcs also get laggy when they have been on for a long time, so reboot and or flash a decent kernel.
Use stock kernel\rom from 20o
I have the same problem. After about 36 hours, the phone becomes laggy. It lags when waking up the screen, it lags in menus, etc so i have to reboot it every 36 hours or so.
Speaking of kernels and roms, i've tried them all by now. From CM7 (which i could not get along with, functionality wise) to Topogigi, spica, Thanatos, carburano, gueste and erestor.
I am now on gueste 2.1 stable SR1 and the problem persists.
After about 16 hours wake-up and the lockscreen lags, after about 24 hours scrolling becomes choppy, after 36 hours dialer, contacts and other apps start slowly and lag big time.
This is the same behaviour in all roms and kernels tried (except CM7 which is a no go for me).
L.E.:
Of course, rebooting solves the problem for the next 20 hours or so, but its quite inconvenient.
I recently got virtuous quattro on my phone now my camera doesn't work I can't watch videos cause there extremely slow and choppy, if I put it on vibrate it doesn't and it was roaming for two days. But other than that its fine any tips on how to fix these problems if possible.
All those are listed as problems in the Quattro change log and in bug tracker. Since it is still in RC stage you can and must xpect things like those to happen. Please next time read the Quattro thread before asking
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
I did read it they said they fixed the cameras problems. And didn't mention my video would malfunction. I'm pretty sure it said that on the rc2 cameras was no longer a problem.
The camera is still a problem on RC4, pictures will have strange lines at the top.
They also said that Video Playback was laggy. And the phone does vibrate if you enable it.
Quattro is still in development stages it is not a bug free ROM. It is good for you to try ICS but, you probably will need to wait a wee while before a stable release comes out.
Quattro is good, but not without glitches

Yeah, except for the faulty camera, flash, and other such stuff, this is a really good ROM if you want to try ICS on IncS. I am on RC3 now, and I guess I will wait for the VQ folks to come out with a stable release.
But if you want a fully functional ROM, try Cynaogen.. It is pretty good

A small list of issues I have observed on VQ RC3
Here are a few things that do not seem to be working fine on my IncS with VQ RC3 (and RC4 as well) -
1. The camera - everything about it.. first pic is dark, the pics are of poor quality, and the stock camera supports only 5mp (strange), and panaroma does not work, and the camcorder does not work even with 3rd party cam apps. Video playback is very slow, and video-streaming is not great.
2. Flash when used with a 3rd party camera app (or even the stock cam for that matter) does not work. I am using lgcam, but don't like it much
3. Gallery closes down when editing a picture
4. The soft-key lights do not work when the brightness is dimmed-down (some people might actually like this.. I did, at first )
5. Certain apps like winamp do not work. They just close down without an error message, which would have been useful.
6. I have not been able to figure out how to set a custom music file for a ring-tone.. anybody?
7. The indicator light on my phone turns green with the battery stat still at 92% when charging. And the battery time does not seem as impressive how it is on Cyanogenmod (Have not tried CM on this IncS though, forcing me to think that I may have to calibrate the battery on this device once, just to check).
This definitely is not the entire list of glitches on this ROM, but only what I have observed in the past few days of using it. I see the same on both RC3 and RC4. I hope the devs have noticed these, and working on them.. I really liked this ROM; it is clean, smooth, and pretty KISSy - just a few things here and there to be ironed out

Anyone have a fix for the Snapchat-issue?
As far as I'm aware, this is a CM 10.1 issue.
And by the "Snapchat-issue" I mean that if you go into snapchat and try to use the camera everything is fine. Then if you go into the list over your recieved\sent snaps, then back to the camera again; it gets 0.1 FPS. Impossible to use it.
Currently I'm using stock over CM solely due to this reason.
And yes, I have tried several versions of different ROMs with Android 4.2.2;
Official CM 10.1, FXP 225\226, Avatar based off CM10.1, you name it.
Also have tried to remove the app completely and reinstalling it ofcourse.
So far no luck except changing back to stock ROM.
Then it works just fine.
The frontal camera is still awful ofcourse, but this is Sony's fault
I had that problem as well, and if I remember correctly, in the very short amount of time I was on CM (i.e. One day, switched back due to the terrible battery life), I figured that you can just go into developer options and enable hardware overlays or force gpu rendering (one of those two) and it'd work fine. However, that just leads to even more battery drain :/
