Hi guys,
A quick thank you for all your hard work with the various ROMs you all create and all the help you dole out to us noobs (hence this question).
I have been having a camera issue for a while now with various ROMs, with this one being the latest. When I install I wipe all (factory reset in CW and Dalvik cache wipe). The installs go fine, but the camera problems persist. I have tried cm-9.0.0.Triumph-Alpha-0.6.16.1.zip, update-cm-9.0.0.Triumph-Alpha-0.6.12.0-signed.zip, CM7-TG-Reloaded-2012-03-25.zip, and MTDEV-CM7-20120819.zip. I realized after cm9 installs that camera might be a problem so I went to cm7. About 90% of the time the camera launches but I usually get blank screen. Menu button generally yields force close or wait state. Home resets back to home. About 5% of time it I get the camera screen, but no images and everything is locked up. The last 5% it actually works and I can take pictures. I have tried to gauge whether full battery charge or partial charge has any effect (none noted). I have reformated SDcard without success. With full wipe I do not attempt to restore anything so the camera is the first thing I do after installing gapps. The only other thing I have to do is get to wifi before attempting to logon to google (for play store) since I live in a Sprint coverage hole.
Is it possible that somehow my camera hardware is hosed? I haven't read about this issue in the forums. Mostly the camera issues are front/back camera, clicking noises.
Sorry for long post, but my frustration is gettingthe best of me. Any help or suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks.
