There are 321497329790479230773420 different reasons camera might not be working, you'll need to dig through your logcat to figure out why.
That isn't a supported device, so you're going to need quite a lot of time and patience to figure it out - but the only way to learn about device bringup and maintenance is by doing the work. If it's frustrating and time consuming - this is normal. It's not rare to spend 3 weeks trying to figure out a problem only to have it require only one line of code change. (As a generic and unrelated example - https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/2757/ took me the majority of the month of November to figure out...)

You can install a Third Party camera app from google play or aptoide... Iam sure it will work

[Q] What are the features working in Yuki's Back to the future rom

I have searched a lot but unable to get a perfect answer. Does anyone knows about this? If you dont know that is working or atleast know about what is not working that would be of great help.
Thanks in advance...
I have been using it daily for about 3 weeks now, and I honestly cant find anything that isnt working besides the camera and multitouch (which doesnt work on any ROM).
Maybe someone else can chime in here, but bottom line the rom is awesome!!

You said that camera and multitouch not working. Is is that camera is not working at all? Please clarify. As far as multitouch I am aware of it.
Everything is working for me and to be honest I am enjoying it more tan I ever thought I would. Not sure what are the problems experienced with camera, mine is working fine. Pictures are not as good as the one taken through Android that I have running off SD, but videos sure are great.
Having problems with XAP... anything because installer doesn't work for me. Both versions supposed to do the same job, in fact. Both claim the phone is either not connected or is locked.
Multitouch works fine for me - pictures are zoomed by pinching etc.
The Camera Issue was common on the HD7 that flash caused a green hue to pictures taken... As for MultiTouch its hit or miss.
For XAP problems in Mango (7720) you need to dev_unlock it using one of the files in Yuki-XBOXMOD CAB Directory that has a long list of cabs for Mango..

Used all the necessary cabs, tools etc - still no go
The camera does have a green hue - tried it last night at the party. Everyone looked like zombies that were dead for some time, haha. Will switch to Android on SD for photos.
- Camera takes greenish shots when using Flash.
- Using the camera button (call button), the camera doesn't focus and just takes the snap leading to blurry snaps. I dunno if this is a WP7 issue or not.
- Video Camera seems to have Continous Focus so in dark scenes it focuses and unfocuses every 10 seconds. Disabling auto focuses removes auto focus completely so thats not an option either.
This is for what I've seen. Its still 99% functional despite all this.

For now - this problems really deep inside. Video system in android 4 changed mostlly.
Wow, I knew that you wouldn't abandon us.
Edit: Just loaded it up. Really fast. Obviously, a lot of problems but nevertheless, really good start.
No market?
No wifi?
And an error kept popping up, in part english, part Korean, at every new screen, stating it will eliminate something.
So glad to have you back

Wifi is ready! light sensor seems to working fine.
but gravity sensor not working, camera not working
Okay it booted fast I was able to sign in to Google.
I did some ram tweaks I was able to get 70+.
I used a bootfix to get it booted.
I will get even more ram after sensors get fixed.
Looking forward in using cm9.

It's awesome & sweet, man!
I was tried with CM9 but no luck and have not much time to play around with it. Now you are back with it, that great!
Thumb up & keep great working.
I will try it soon
Tried, and this is my experiences:
Good things:
- Speed is incredible fast with many apps I installed on last CM7.X
- Wifi, 3G works
- Home button not work (cannot go home by pressing Home button) EDITED: Home button is go with different behavior compared with GingerBread, so press & hold it to see list of recent & running app, this way it work for me
and many things work as expected.
and Bad things:
- Screen rotation is not work well: look it start to work but mostly forced in landscape mode (in launcher, app) some time it go portrait for dialing screen, error message ... I was unchecked auto rotation options but not help.
- Call not work for me, it go end nearly immediate after I press call.
- SMS not work, EDITED: work after reboot, may it has blocked by some overload operations.
- Net monitor through some exceptions due: /proc/net/xt_qtaguid/stats not exist, we need kernel module for this stuff.
- Cam not work (of course )
I don't see where to customize Cyanogen such as fast switch widget on notification bar, look like we are missing Cyanogen Settings
I have problem with IO schedule in CM7 and was remove dalvik-cache from list of app2ext startup script and it solved 50% of mine. I used `lsof` to see what's going to use /sdcard & /sd-ext and see that almost operations come from background apps like launcher, theme. I think we should avoid to use bind mount to SD's ext partition to get better speed. Also use `vmstat` command will see sometime 1-3 applications block IO process and it will cause IO wait almost full (about > 90).
Anyone face problem like me? and what's solution you guys was used to solve it?
Will try to tweak it and fix some buggy if possible, keep the good work guys!
I see some have offered to help with cm9 but I'm dispointed in these forms .
The first thing thats needs to be fixed are sensors.
The camera will be the hardest to fix.
I believe the defry has the same sensors as our xt can someone do a port for are xt.
The worked good for me but their seems to be battery drain.
I would like to see some team work on this cm9.
Thanks J.Y.Daddy for your help.

Anyone know the way to let android force display in portrait mode?
Currently sensors not work correctly then it always go landscape mode, it is weir.
I tried some prop in but no luck.
About sensors I tried one from CM-7.1 but no luck, look like ICS using different stuff for use sensors then fix in framework may help but I don't have time to check it out.

Un-check the box for: Settings --> Display --> Auto-Rotate Screen
Unless....of course....that is being overwritten by something in CM9.
I tried it already, unchecked auto rotate option in display setting & Trebuchet but no luck.

we can always use a 3rd party Camera App, if we can not fix the camera, right?
or are you referring to the kernel knowing there's a camera attached to the phone?

ICS changed the camera API significantly. I don't think anyone's figured out how to use the older libraries yet. Non-functioning camera is pretty common at the moment.
We really to find a fix for the sensors first then fix other things.

For camera, AFAIK we need to write a new kernel module for it as ICS is using HAL then we must have:
- /system/lib/modules/camera.ko
- /system/lib/hw/camera.sholes.so
EDITED: I've just tried with hw/camera.goldfish.so & camera.ko from MS2 then Camera app just loaded with colored box pinging, at least it not show "Cannot connect to Camera" message

AT&T Galaxy S4 with GPE Room Graphic Issue

Hey All,
I tried searching this thread before posting this and didn't find too much. I installed a Google play edition ROM on my AT&T S4 (i377). It works fine so far but I've been noticing that there are some green lines through the middle of the screen. They look like graphical glitches. I'm willing to accept it if thats just the name of the game, but just wanted to know if anything could be done, or if another rom that works with this phone is better.
It doesn't seem to come up in screenshots either. Anyway let me know if anyone knows something about this issue.
Thanks

Go to your developer options and check if any drawing/rendering screen options are enabled; some of these options can cause screen flashing/margin lines/rendering line updated/etc. If you have any overclocking enabled in a custom kernel restore your GPU and CPU frequencies back to stock and reboot If neither of those don't fix your issue I suggest using a more stable and well known ROM. I myself use a rom by @Task650. Zero issues with it and it's stability is great, very lightweight.
No glitches here. Must be an issue with the room you are running. I run ibl4st1ds kangabean 4.2.2 ROM with the mf3 radio. I side loaded samsung shealth and downloaded watch on from the market. Many Samsung apps work with a simple sideload with the GE ROMS.

Flash in camera app doesn't work properly

Hi all,
I recently installed the GCam port on my Axon 7 (rooted, running Magisk), works fine, except for one problem. Flash just doesn't work properly.
- The first problem is that it's finicky on when it decides to use the flash, even if I set it to "On" in the on screen menu. I have to be in a dark environment for it to go off.
- Second, the camera won't take a correct picture when flash is active. It will work, but the final image doesn't have any flash on it.
Here is a video showing both problems: https://youtu.be/8isBucEs6WI (Somehow I even had the first problem in a very dark room)
If you guys know anything I can do to fix this, that would be great. Thank you.
