Hi all
My phone is Milestone 2.1.1 official
I've never installed custom ROMs
The problem is when I'm using camera to make photos with flash On, the phone using flash at max while focusing, but when taking picture the flash is much weaker, if battery is less then fully charged.
I've tried another camera apps, but it all the same problem.

I think this was a problem with stock moto eclair. Have you installed the 2.1 update 1? Not sure if this fixed it. When I was using the official 2.1, the pictures would be dark when my battery was >40%.

Hi guys,
I just want to ask if it is possible to flash any 4.2.2 Rom over a 4.3 one without changing the Bootloader or Modem (as far as I know kernel there are no other things updated in 4.3 except some features in stock Rom and kernel). I'm sorry if there is a thread like this one out there but I couldn't find it on my phone app
Thanks in advance for your time and help

Now why would you do that? It's like installing windows ME over Windows 7

It's because I like to have all the possibilities to personalise nz phone, and Roms like MIUI won't get 4.3 support in the next time it's just my opinion

4.3's stock kernel sucks hard. I've experienced "unexpectedly closed" errors with certain apps and the device sometimes reboots itself without apparent reason. Had to flash the latest franco's nightly kernel in order to get this faulty release somewhat stable.
Nice GoinGoogle.

It is possible with custom recovery, not possible with fastboot without updating the bootloader. You may use any modem. You need 4.3 kernel.
EDIT: my bad, it was other way around. Yes, it is possible.
4.3 stinks like hot garbage. I'm not upgrading, and I'm going to downgrade my new N7 to 4.2.2 if possible. 4.3 is like windows ME.
I still have 4.2.2 on my N4 and have only tried 4.3 on my Kindle Fire. From my experience I have little interest in upgrading my N4 for the time being, since 4.3.x will likely fix all the JSS and JWR issues.

I think your problem is caused by your usage pattern / apps which are not updated for 4.3, combined with unstable root. Don't blame Google unless you experience the same behaviour on unrooted stock.

Wrong.
I experienced those crashes while on stock, even with google applications. that's a faulty release, not faulty device nor usage. for god sake, even "settings" menu has "unexpectedly closed" on me once.

I have had totally different experience with 4.2.2. To be honest I didn't like it at all. I didn't find it as "rock solid" as many other users here. (I came from Galaxy Nexus. Android 4.2 compared to really rock solid jzo54k 4.1.2 was imo buggy as hell. It didn't bring any performance boost but rather did the opposite: BT, WIFI issues, mem leak etc.) Plus I found this low touch sensitivity extremaly irritating. I use rooted stock 4.3 and so far I haven't noticed any bigger issues. Even if I do I really don't see a point to go back to still buggy 4.2.2. I think my device performs much better on 4.3. Maybe it's just a placebo effect, but it feels snappier and smoother. Just my subjective opinion.
Of course I do understand people that miss their favorite custom roms, whose 4.3-versions are still unavailable.
4.2.2 had and has clearly wifi/bt issues (major data stalls, difficulties in re-enabling bt after 20-30 hours of uptime).
These issues were solved. however, I'd expect 4.3 to be as stable as it can be, especially when it took more than 5 months for its release. Unfortunately, that's not the case. not even close, which is rather embarrassing.
I really was expecting for iOS-like smoothness and stability by now.

Maybe that's been your experience but my experience has been the exact opposite. It's made my N4 even more of a pleasure to use. It's smoother, snappier, and battery life is amazing. Mind you, I've never really had any problems with 4.2.2 except maybe GPS locking problems, which 4.3 solved. The only real problem with 4.3 is this whole JWR/JSS nonsense.

Not sure what's going on your end but my phone has been rock solid with no FCs at all since upgrading to 4.3 using the factory image (I never go the OTA route)
In case you're both running a stock 4.3 (unrooted), you're more than welcomed to run "angry gran run - running game" by ace viral and watch it boldly & proudly crash. If not on beginning, after few minutes. Just only one example out of many.

Not sure if this is the right place but here goes.
I am on AOKP milestone 1 might update to milestone 2 soon. But what do I have to keep in mind when making the jump to 4.3? Will I be able to downgrade later without problems? I dont understand the modems and bootloader stuff. Plus if I flash 4.3 I will lose root, so how do I flash 4.3 without loosing root? do I root the phone again after flashing? or is there a shortcut?

You can flash a 4.3 rom in recovery, but its recommended to flash radio and bootloader in recovery.

Android 4.3 ROMs require radio version .84 (or a hybrid 27/84 or 33/84 radio) and bootloader version makoz20i. As Thibaultvw points out radio version .84 and bootloader version makoz20i are both available as flashable zip files and should both be installed before installing a 4.3 based ROM. In addition, Android 4.3 requires SuperSU version 1.51 for working root privileges.
After upgrading the radio and bootloader for Android 4.3, you can restore or install an Android 4.2.2 ROM without changing the bootloader or radio.

Give it a hard go bud lemme know how it works!
I have a stock Rogers Moto X and before rooting wanted to know if rooting would prevent me from successfully updating when OTA is released ..its been confirmed from a Moto exec on G+ that an update will be coming for the camera
Also as it stands the stock unrooted phone has incredible reception and signal strength ...I'm wondering if rooting will in anyway degrade this because the procedure involves flashing a prerooted kernel and I wouldn't want that kernel which determines a few things to have been affected in regards to controlling power to antenna etc and hence affect quality of reception ...
Sorry for noobish question but I haven't found an definitive answer anywhere regards this and have always read about various kernels affecting people's signal strength
As it stands the reception is incredible !! This phone is stupendously amazing with battery life and reception and all in a compact package ...that Motorola has proved can be had with an optimized OS

You don't need to flash the kernel with superuser preinstalled, unlock the boot loader first, flash mattlgroff recovery and flash superSu , bam your rooted. No effects what so ever with signal by obtaining root, as for ota you should be fine as long as you haven't played with the system too much and someone will apost the updates anyways

Sounds good...glad there's alternative ways to achieve root

i hope someone can help me with this. i have sent my HTC One back to HTC for repair and since i have gotten it back the camera no longer works on anything but kitkat. There are some roms i want to try that are jellybean such as miui. (which prior to sending it back it worked beautifully) now on the miui rom it only loads the ffc and looks terrible. on other roms it just doesnt load at all. i will attach a logcat. any help with this would be great. please dont suggest that it is a hardware defect. as stated it works fine on kitkat roms,

Thes same thing is happening to me..i have sent my htc one to service centre for replacement of mic btu after the day of repairing my front camera is not opening on any rom....i think they have done something to my phone..
I also sent my phone in but before JB or KK and now when i update my firmware the camera works but video doesn't. The good thing for me i guess is ViperROM has been a solid rom..
Well let's not mix this up please.
My issue is only when using a jellybean Rom that only the ffc works or the camera doesn't work at all. The camera works perfectly well on kitkat roms.

If you don't believe you have a hardware issue and you have the latest firmware either by ruu or other ways the only real thing you can do is wait for the next ruu or update to come out and see if that fixes your issue. I dont think (could be wrong) devs are going to fix issue for one phone. Try taking it to Sprint and see what they can do for you...
But how could it be hardware if it works on kitkat roms? If it were hardware I don't think it would work on any roms.

Are you s-off? When you installed JB Rom did you install the firmware from the JB update. It could be that your KK firmware is your issue.
I believe I ruud back to the original firmware when I was trying a few weeks ago I can check again when I have more time
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk
I will take an educated guess on experience. Chances are that you got a new camera with that new camera is a completely different camera that doesn't have JB drivers, only KK.
Also can see Sprint/HTC (end even Google) that KK is the standard today, that JB is outdated and your phone probably came back from the repair center with KK on it.
I was wondering if that could be it. You are correct it came with kk on it after the repair job.

I just rooted my z3c using this great guide and I was wondering what I can do from here? I do not want to unlock the bootloader because I do not want the camera quality affected in low light. So from what I understand, with a rooted but LOCKED bootloader I can only stick with stock roms. Can I install things like Viper4Android and Cyberian Camera without running into any problems?
im using Cyberian Camera mod by mkdmc atm, its working pretty well.
I'm using a Cyberian camera with locked bootloader as well, no problems at all, and it defienatly adds some useful features.
