Camera and camcorder force close after upgrading to Cyanogen 4.2.12.2

Just today I upgraded to the latest Cyanogen release (4.2.12.2) on my G1 from pre-4.1.99, and any time I attempt to open either the Camera or Camcorder, it Force Closes, and returns me to the home screen.
I've tried cleaing the cache/data for both the Camera and Camcorder, but that didn't appear to fix the issue. I've also run the fix_permissions command as well, which didn't help either.
Any ideas on what might help fix this problem?

run fix_permissions from console... and post in correct section next time

I apologize for having posted this in the wrong section - where does it belong?
Also, I stated in my OP that I ran the fix_permissions command; from the console was implied.

In the 4.2.12.2 thread.

Thread Moved to Q&A.

I just tried two things: first just wiping and flashing the Cyan Rom again, and that didn't fix it.
Then, I wiped, installed the 1.6 base rom, and then Cyan Rom on top of that, and I still get Force Closes for both the camera and camcorder.
So, I'm still stuck. Any more ideas?

Do you have any apps that use camera (Google Goggles, Barcode Scanner, etc)? You may have to wipe data from those as well.
Also, do you have apps2sd? If so, wiping is not as effective as it is without it. If you do apps2sd then you need to run this from terminal
Code:
su
rm -r system/sd/dalvik-cache/*
reboot
Good luck.

I tried running these commands in the Terminal Emulator, and after the reboot, I still get FCs when trying to open the Camcorder and Camera.
I collected the log, and have attached what I believe to be the relevant portion of it to this message.
Any more ideas?

same here!!!
I am having the exact same issue as you show in the log file
have had some success in reflashing base rom but it only works for a day or so (or hours in some cases)
believe it to be an issue with the drivers but something is killing the camera every time
have removed all apps and reflashed but now it just keeps fc
if any of the devs working on camera issues could have a look please help
cheers

Same thing here.

Same problem here, sucks.

same here, and I tried:
going back to 4.2.8 (where camera last worked for me, before going straight to 4.2.13),
I tried wiping,
I tried removing and and re-making the ext3 partition
I tried reflashing the radio (2.22.19.26I from http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/)
My camera is still dead (force closes)

If you have the same issue (camera force closing, flashing older OS not fixing the issue), PLEASE go to Cyanogenmod project Google Code website and click the star next to "Vote for this issue and get email change notifications" on the bottom of the page.

Thanks!

Much respect for Cyanogen and all he does for further the HTC Dream: G1 community.
However, if you are having so many issues maybe its time to change to
another Rom altogether. Just my 2 cents..

Here's a few more pennies my good man, if the camera is a deal breaker then consider my above comment and change Rom.
Your choice, that's why this community should never go away.
Freedom to customize as you see necessary and fit is the ultimate reward.

I too a while back had problems installing roms and constantly seeing FCs on my phone. .
The way I fixed that problem was using a bigger/better/faster microSD card I already had.
( @Cqms: I see you already have a newer microSD however, perhaps formatting it after backing up your contents first suits you and then copying everything back once finished. Finally wipe completely/flash Rom and you're set).
Formatted it fat32, since I copied my data on the pc first I copied what I had to the new one.
And finally installed what in my opinion to be one of the best Roms (see my signature) through the wipe/flash procedure and have been extremely happy since.

Camera is back (sort of!!)
Ok as suggested by Legend in above post - wiped formatted etc and flashed super D ROM
Camera comes back but has some kinda solarisation effect which I cant seem to get rid off.
Added to this is my contacts and dialer keep fC ing on me so this ROM is a non runner for me even with a semi working camera
getting closer to the fix though
maybe ima try reflashing cyanogens latest again and see if i can sort the weird effect on the camera
heres hoping

Sensors not calibrated correctly

Hey guys,
This problem is here longer for me, I've already sent back my phone 2 times, and they won't resolve the issue.
My problem is that the accelerometer is not calibrated right. One side is ok, but in landscape mode it's calibrated horrible. For example, when I use the app 'Google Sky Map' holding the phone in portrait mode just works ok (the horizon is in a straight line). Switching to landscape makes it bad, the horizon is now from 1 corner into another corner...
As I said before, i've already returned it twice to HTC via the shop I bought it. They say I can calibrate it in the program settings. But that's the problem, in al lot of program's / games i cant. Also the plain android homescreen rotates irritating because of the bad callibration.
So, I googled about the issue and couldn't find any solution. But I did find some folder / file (akmd_set.txt) where the sensor info is stored. I have rooted my device, and am running the latest CyanogenMod on it. I already wiped, returned old (non root, stock) android versions on it, rooted again, flashed cyanogen. But none of this works....
Does anyone know a solution to calibrate my settings? Can I get that file, edit it on my PC and flash it back in maybe?
If yes, please explain me
Thanks in advance!

Don't take my word for gospel or anything but....
As far as I know, that file is auto-generated, meaning you can delete it and it will force the accelerometer to recalibrate itself.
I think Cyan's and RA's recoveries both have an option to "Wipe Rotate Settings" which I've done several times, so I know it's safe. Try this if you haven't already. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, trying it out now.
Did the wipe rotation settings option I have to see if it worked, because none of my aps are working now.... they all have an plain android box icon and clicking on them says the app is not installed.
Yeah, i've got Apps2SD and the SD card is loaded, how to fix this? Then I can check if it worked with the Sky Map program.
Oh, and if not, how do I remove that file via terminal?
EDIT: Damn, can't get the apps to work again my whole phone seems broken now. I even can't install new apps :S
EDIT2: Just checked my SD card, it is still working good at my PC, but not in my phone. At once the phone can't read SD cards... Please, does somebody a solution?

It sounds like you wiped ext through recovery. Search on how to explore your sd card as root and see if your apps are there. You may need to reflash your rom unless you have a nandroid backup you can restore.

Nope I didn't do that, it was just a file in the CM Rom that was changed. The phone wasn't able to read the SD card, but the PC was and in recovery mode it could read it too... So I just flashed the CM Mod again and it's working now.
Problem is, my sensors still don't work Please does anyone has a solution, or a how-to on how to change the file?

Sorry you're having so much trouble with this, but it's beyond my scope of knowledge at this point. Hopefully someone else can check it out. If the Cyanogen IRC channel is still around you might be able to find help there.

[Q] soft boot loops after installing more than 150 apps!!

as the title says,I'm getting boot loops after installing many apps,my research shows that this is not app related,I didn't checked with another rom or kernel,I checked both intern sd and extern sd and results are the same.I'm using Rocket rom V 22 with AbyssNote kernel V 4.2 and ThunderBolt script v2.6.1 with addons.so the question is how to fix this restart loops,and to be more specific,these r soft boots,meaning the screen goes black and then just the boot sound with no animation and the lockscreen appears after that.any help is so appreciated.

how do you know it isnt app related? you are using the same apps on both internal and sd ad getting the same issue
hard reset and reflash the rom and see if it occurs then or try a different rom/kernel

becuase I tested -the hard way,installing 1 by 1,and different combinations-and hard reset dosen't solve the problem,may be I test with stock rom and kernel.

if this is happening on stock and custom rom.....then this should be one of the app problem. Some app is interfering with the system and making to to stop unexpectedly resulting in soft boots ! You will have to check every app and identify the one causing problem!

yes that's my conclusion too,but I think it's more that just one app,it might be apps not able to coexist with each other,and hard to find out witch.

Try installing one app at a time. And see if that gives the problem. If not then move to the other one. Wait for sometime after installing each app so that you get to know whether that app is the culprit. Hope you get to catch it .... !!

This boot loop is my problem too. Too many apps. Android says can't manage that much appsa and suggests to get rid of some apps I definitely need, like k-9-mail, whatsapp... Every time different apps. Rooted or not. Newest stock rom.
Happens again and again after put off the phone.
When I deinstalled a couple of them there is a chance the boot loop passes.
Any idea beside deinstall most of the apps? Please help.

[Q] Phone reboot upon starting Google Maps

I play around with my phone, testing roms, kernels and tweaks until google maps stop working on my phone. the last time it work was when i'm using Maclaw's CM11.
I decided to return to stock rom and recovery using odin and thats when the problem started. I followed the steps from here.
The phone reboot each time I start Google Maps. I tried going back to CM11 but the phone reboot each time I start Camera (previously it was working fine). (I may hare to try CM11 again to see if Google Maps working in CM11)
Then I try to revert back to Original Stock Rom With Kies following the steps here but the problem persist.
Any idea to solve this problem?

Hi,
Maybe a corrupted data partition.
Do a real format data + media in recovery.
After that, try again flashing .

Hopes it works

Hi,
Is real format data + media in recovery means wipe data/factory reset in recovery? I believe i did that before flashing stock rom using stock recovery.
I had an idea just now and I try several apps from play store, compass apps and any apps that uses compass and each apps reboot my phone upon starting. Logically Google Maps also use compass. So this might be the problem but strangely i could use Waze with no problem at all.
If compass related app is the problem, how do i fix this?
Thank you

Hi
real format isn't the same as wipe data/factory reset.
Real format = In recovery go to mounts and storage --> format real data and media
Strange that the compass isn't working. Try to uninstall non standaard compass apps from your Phone. And try google maps again.
Install app one by one, and see what app is causing the problem.
If not, it's recommend to do a full clean install again at your Phone.

Hi
I thought that GPS wasnt working on any app
Dead GPS = if you dont get a lock anymore and the phone isnt searching for signals.
Maybe you can try GPS locks software.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2
This will help your GPS to update the location off the sateliets.
When app opened. Use the icon in the right below corner.
Tools --->> calibrate both option.
If its taking to long , use the third option in tools and download
After that calibrate again

I'm currently using stock rom with stock recovery. Flash it with odin with "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" options checked. Wipe data/factory reset. Wipe Dalvik. Device Status: Official.

I read about /boot partition. It says:
/boot
This is the partition that enables the phone to boot, as the name suggests. It includes the kernel and the ramdisk. Without this partition, the device will simply not be able to boot. Wiping this partition from recovery should only be done if absolutely required and once done, the device must NOT be rebooted before installing a new one, which can be done by installing a ROM that includes a /boot partition.
Since my problem related to kernel panic, I assume there are problem with kernel. Is it possible to format /boot from cwm recovery and then flash custom rom such as Carbon or CM from external SD or maybe internal SD? Is CM rom includes a /boot partition?

I tried many things today including flashing stock, custom rom, format, wipe and reset. Then I had this idea to check sensors available. I use Phone Tester (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mtorres.phonetester&hl=en) and Android Sensor Box (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.androidsensorbox&hl=en)
I also test *#0*# in the dialer. Select sensor, phone reboot.
The result are as follow:
1. GPS is working fine as per screenshot of Phone Tester
2. Orientation Sensor and Magnetic Sensor reboot the phone every time I click to test them.
Is there any fix or ways to disable these sensors? Please help
Thank you

the problem is at your proximity sensor i think. Because the orientation & magnetic sensor keeps the Phone booting.
What cover case have you on your Phone? The Original? or a flip back cover?
Sometimes it could be a bad cover that blocks the sensors and keeping it crashing.
If you have a flip back cover. just try the sensors without it.
Let me now

You can do a boot partition format . But keep your Rom and recovery ready on your external sd card, when something go wrong.
If you have formatted boot, install recovery and rom. After that Reboot.
But the problem isn't the boot partition.
i think your sensors are faulty at your Phone.
Try to install stock rom on your Phone and go to the store with it.
Because it's not custom rom/ kernel / recovery related anymore.
Because the stock rom have the same issues right?

How to go back to stock rom 21s? (x522 US version)

Ive tried nearly all the roms but prefer to go back to stock 21s. I cant find a custom rom that has a fully working camera. The camera works mostly, but when I record video it doesnt record it, only sound. Ive tried third party camera apps and either they dont work properly either or are not reporting the correct MP of the camera. Footej sort of works, but only allows 12MP pictures and 1080p video instead of 16MP and 4k
The 26s builds all seem to remove cell broadcast which is something I need and Ive had no luck trying to move it from another rom as it just force closes on me when I do that.
There was a stock 21s rom here, but when I try to install, it says I have an S2, and the rom is for LE_S2_NA. Ive gone through the build prop and corrected all the lines to reflect this, but its still saying my device is an S2 only and I cant figure it out. I then tried removing the two lines in the updater script and rezipped the files, but then when I tried to install it said invalid zip file or something like that so Im completely lost...

I gave it a try and it it let me get past the get prop check and started installing, but after a bit it threw me error 7 and mentioned something about system partition. Tried to boot and it got stuck at the splash screen. If anyone can help me get cell broadcast working on the 26s small eui rom I'd be happy to contribute to a bounty or something.

I had that same issue trying to get back to stock ROM after trying something like Lineage or Small EUI...
I "fixed" it... first... wipe everything (if you can wipe internal... that's better) install Stock 21S with the modified script... (ROM will bot boot OR will throw error) then reboot to recovery (unless you got error and you are still there)
and flash any ROM preferably Small EUI... but it has worked with Lineage too... boot to the new ROM.. make sure it boots fine.. then go back to TWRP and Wipe everything EXCEPT System... this is important.. if you wipe system.. the Stock one will not boot... and you have to start over... because the 21S ROM is sort of like an update which requires a system to be already on. so, you install the 21S ROM without wiping system... everything should go fine now and the ROM will boot... and everything will come out fine.
This bug happens usually when you go to Lineage 14 and try to return to stock... because lineage changes some system files and partitions and when you wipe System.. the Stock ROM won't actually install... because it is not detecting a proper filesystem.. (my theory)

I gave it a try and followed all the steps but it wouldn't boot when I flashed 21s leaving the system unwiped in the final step. Just gets to the leeco spash boot screen and gets stuck there. I ended up switching to the miui 8 rom for now. Has working cell broadcast and the camera seems to be working ok too.

but only allows 12MP pictures and 1080p video instead of 16MP and 4k

Thats a classic case of obsessing over specs. 12MP pictures and 1080p video are perfectly acceptable image quality wise

4K downgraded to 1080p is a fairly substantial drop in quality. Doesnt seem right to take a hit on a big feature of the phone like that when using a custom rom and its not worth the trade off of the other features they have. Might not be a big deal to others but losing 4K recording was pretty important to me.

In case this helps anyone else, I found a way to get back to 21s and have a fully working rom:

MIUI 8 worked great except for a bug with hangouts, it would crash when I tried to make a call or use video chat. MIUI 9 didnt have cellbroadcast for some reason.
