Try to re-flash your stock sbf. And root it again..
Doesn't matter from where I send it, what matters is written above

@m0nk3yb0y94
Have u tried to delete data of the camera under
settings >apps >manage apps > all > camera > delete data

Also try some other camera app.. 'Camera360' for example.

This is caused by 2nd-init
Did you flash 720p patch?? If you did then you wil get black screen for preview. Go to 2nd-init and select boot as normal boot. It should work
PS. I had to reflash stock rom, root, install 2nd-init and then NOT apply the 720p patch!

[Q] Camera with Liberty

Ever since I downloaded the Liberty ROM i haven't been able to get my camera working. At first it worked but I didn't like the camera that came with the Liberty ROM. So I tried to install the Blur camera out of the Liberty toolbox but that didn't work, instead my camera stopped working all together and now I have nothing. Does anyone know what to do?
Did you do a backup before installing the new camera? If I was in the position that I did not backup hi would reinstall the Liberty right over top of itself. I just did exactly that because after testing out the themes my phone kinda went funky. I just reinstalled Liberty and it wiped out the themes. Thus, fixing my issue. Btw, JRummy and KeJar, props. Excellent build my friends.

Are u on the 2.3.15 update or 2.3.34 update? If on 3.15 it will not work due to incompatible library files. If you want to stay on the 3.15 update, let me know. I think I have the library files you need.

Either use the stock 2.3.340 rom or use drod 2169 rubix blurry 1.8
Blurless roms dont use it, it is a blur component.
Ps please post questions in the appropriate forum and thread, dont hijack someone else's. Thank you

I wasn't even aware that the Liberty ROM had updates. I'm running the original - Liberty v1.0.

When, earlier, you said "Are u on the 2.3.15 update or 2.3.34 update?" Were you referring to Liberty or something else?
Oh wait, nvm - I just read your other post and figured out what you were talking about. So let me see if I'm understanding - even though there is an option to download/install the blur camera out of the Liberty toolbox it's not going to work b/c Liberty isn't a blur ROM?

ok, let me see if I can get you back on track =)
When I talk about the 2.3.15 vs 2.3.340 update, I am referring to the updates that Verizon has released for the Droid X. Unfortunately since you already have Liberty installed on your phone, there is not a super easy way to tell.
If you turn your phone off and then before turning it back on, hold down the "volume down + camera button + power button". Your screen will blink, then show a bootloader screen, and your bootloader version.
If it says 30.03, then you are most likely still on 2.3.15 update, and that is why you are experiencing camera problems (more than likely). If it says 30.04, then you should be up to date with the latest OTA from Verizon. If this is the case, I'm not sure why the camera is not working for you.
The blur camera works even though it is a blurless ROM. My guess would be (I haven't gotten very deep into Android dev work yet) is that the Blur camera is not dependent on other Blur .apk files or services. This would be why people have been able to add the blur camera back in...
Hope this helps.
Yeah I have the 30.04

Hm... Someone else was having this problem too. I would suggest making a backup, then try reflashing liberty. If you want to be completely thorough, you could sbf and factory reset, and then reflash liberty... But i would see if u can do some more searching online before wiping everything out.

Sorry for the retarded question, but why would I need to install a theme to get the camera working?
I am having the same issue with the camera not working. When I open the camera app, it opens but when I take a picture the screen goes black and then the app crashes.
I have tried installing the blur camera and ASOP camera from Liberty Toolbox.

Have you upgraded from 2.3.315 to 2.3.340 ?
That has been the camera issue plus other issues for many phones.
Yes I am. I checked by holding down volume down + camera + power button, and it says 30.04

few thing you can try I had the same issue awhile back.
* Delete the camera in the SD > Liberty folder > download folder, on your SD card
*Delete camera in Settings> apps folder then reinstall the camera you want
If no luck ...
* reinstall Liberty right over existing Liberty NO wipes.
A combination of above will get you going..

Backup and flash with your factory ROM
Hi,
The best option for you to do is to Backup all the SMS, Contacts and Application data and then flash your phone with the factory build ROM that came in with your DEFY.
Here is the list of ROMS for Defy variants---http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
Go through this link and get your ROM do a MD5 check to double check if the downloaded version is correct. Then flash your phone with that ROM. By doing this you would have the warranty of ur device intact (If your defy is still within the warranty period).:good:
Then finally restore all your backups. :angel:
You may be tempted to upgrade your ROM to the newest SBF like ICS or JellyBeans. while doing so please make sure that that particular SBF is fixed SBF and not full SBF. the difference btwn the 2 is. Fixed SBF allows you to downgrade your DEFY but full SBF only lets you upgrade the version but never downgrade.
If you can understand this then go ahead and search for that perfect match for your DEFY.
Cheers,
Vic
Thanks a lot

[Q] Confusion with camera

Hi All,
I am one of the victims who mistakenly flashed defy+ sbf on a normal defy with green lens. It was bricked for quite some time and then later magically one day DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1 134_DFP-231 SBF worked. Now the phone (orginally MB525) only accepts custom ROMS made for MB526 with camera not working. the message i get is "Can't connect to camera". Recently i tried Quarx build made for MB526 (4.1.2) and suprisingly my camera was working fine. The only problem i was having is my phone would not give me a ringtone music when a call comes and the moment i make a call the screen goes off. It will only come back ON when the other party disconnects. Sometimes that will also not happen and i will have to totally restart my phone (i am guessing the sensors are also not working). For some time I tried using option in Accessability saying power button ends call. Volume rocker turn of doesnt work.
Finally, now i am using a WakJIUI Rom based on GB. Everything works perfectly except for camera and sensor. I have a workaround of sensor where i can choose not to have the screen turned off while on call and volume rocker key works like a charm.
Now, the reason why i started this thread is a vauge idea came to me where i am thinking of having a WakJIUI Rom as stable and use Quarks 4.1.2 build as second boot. I have no idea how to use dual boot. i have read forums but they are confusing.
Anybody who can help...
You cannot dual boot Quarx's CM10.
You can flash Quarx's CM10 and Jelly X kernel to fix ringtone bug, and to fix proximity issue there is an option for "Inaccurate proximity sensor" in Settings > Display under CM10
You can try to fix proximity sensor issue, watch the following video: http://youtu.be/uMk1S90MjbY

Thanks for the insight. One question again : In past when i tried flashing kernal of CM7 and CM9 my phone gets into soft brick mode. where i again have to flash the sbf i mentioned above. i am guessing thats because these kernals are made for MB525. Now that my phone identifies itself as MB526 will this jelly X kernal work....

no, no need to flash any sbf, because it's 2nd-boot
Flash rom, flash gapps, flash jellyx
if you get black screen after bootmenu pull the battery and restart

Thanks for the advise man. I did complete data wipe and cache partition. Flashed the Jelly X Kernal, then installed the sister JB. My camera is working fine. Ringtone issue fixed and also thanks to that video maker, my proximity sensor issue is also resolved.
