Hey guys...
So I was right on the bandwagon when Manilla 2d (M2D) first was relased a while back. Up untill about 2-3 days ago everything was fine with my phone. I installed the Manilla 2d customizer and yesterday I went to use my phone and the camera didnt work. It loads up and I can take pictures but the actual screen is all screwy. Only PART of the camera screen for me. Does anyone or CAN anyone send me a camera installation cab so I can get the camera to work again.
I would do a hard reset but I dont want to deal with the reinstallation of everything all over again if its something as simple as reinstalling the camera Ap. Like I said I press the camera button and can take pictures I just cant see what I'm taking pictures of.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

i think you will find the best way is to hard reset the device.even if you manage to find the camera package and install it you will find that it will damage your current rom even more.
Sounds like you installed the Opal Camera, this isn't something you needed to do. You'll need to do a hard reset to clear everything up. Reinstalling the camera, which I have not yet seen, may not help with future issues. Personally, I suggest waiting until the project is fully complete before installing the 2D theme, due to various bugs.
do a soft reset.
this happens to me after i use the youtube app. i just soft reset and its fine again

A soft reset helps fix temp bugs. Typically, you want to try and prevent yourself from soft resetting, especially when your in the middle of showing friends how kick ass your phone is !

Yeah I uninsallted the youtube ap and it worked for a few minutes then back down to being screwed up. 2/3 of the camera screen shows up and I can take a picture but I cant change the lighting settings or anything like that.
I'm going to totally uninstall the manilla 2d program and see if that helps.
Uninstalled everything then reinstalled the newest release(s) for M2 to work and now everthing is fine. There must have been some conflict going on between programs.
Who knows.
Thanks though to everyone

Ok, i have an elf. of the phone variety.
No funny hats or curly shoes with bells on.
On the third panel of the HTC today screen,
the app launcher, it will no longer add anything.
I can click on the plus icon, and it will show me
a selecion of programs to add, but after clicking
"select" or "ok" it still wont show the item in
the launcher.
Anyone else had this problem?
More importantly, has anyone got a solution?
(and i have searched the forum. found nothing)
LOL....no really? I thought you actually got one of santa's little helpers
Hmmmm....never heard of that one. Did you make any changes to the phone recently? Install something, flash a new ROM? Have you tried soft resetting the phone? Also try to disable the HTC home plug in and then try to re-enable.
well, i did capture one a couple of years ago, but some rights organisation said it was politically incorrect for me to keep it, so i had to let it go.
anyway.
ive not changed the rom in any way. ive only just got it a couple of days ago.
but ill now try disabling it and enabling it again. see if it helps.
thanks for the idea
ok, nope, turning the htc home off and on again didnt work
and i didnt really keep anything and pretend it was an elf.
my previous comment didnt come out sounding sarcastic enough.
any other ideas?
If you havn't got HTC Home Customizer = get this and install on your device.
Not only can you customize the HTC Home plugin to make it prettier you can also add your app shortcuts through HHC and see if they will add that way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308
This is the link to HTC Home customizer XDA - This link aslo has link to official site - it is freeware and worth downloading and installing anyways.
well, thats a prety fantastic program. Ive finally been able to get rid of that weather tab that i never use.
Sadly, whenever I try to add anything to the app launcher through the htc home customizer, it throws an error and closes.
???
:edit:
Fiddle-De-Dee
Just played with it some more and got it working ok.
i was making a silly mistake with the HHC.
Thanks for your helps folks.
sounds like something got really messed up on your device, probably a registtry change or another app is causing conflict.
Did you get this device brand new?
Have you installed anything recently? If so Try uninstalling it and see if it is working properly now?
Have you been playing around with changing registry settings? If so, try changing things back to the way they were originally.
Maybe if you got the device used, someone else had made these changes.
A hard reset will reset the device back to factory settings and may solve your problem. Unfortunately, you will loose everything you have put on your device, apps, contacts, any customization. You may want to look into backing up some of your data before performing the hard reset. Once hard reset is completed, you can add your custom apps again and start customizing again. No big deal really if you have not done much with your device yet. I have had to do it twice on my device - Just time consuming since I had a lot of customizing already done and had to redo it. Now I know to back up my data before doing a hard reset.
edit: I was typing this reply before you edited your post. Glad to hear that you got it working. Enjoy
I just noticed today that all my Facebook albums have stopped working. I just get a circle with a diagonal line through it instead of a thumbnail. I have tried logging out using data.services and I have soft reset a few times. don't really want to hard reset yet. it was defiantly working when I first got my HD2.
Anyone had this problem?

Never worked for me either on 1.43 nor 1.48 ROMs.
same problem here!
but worked for me the first few days i had my hd2 (with stockrom 1.43 GER)!
I had the same problem. I found out, that it was caused by a tweak i installed. It was theTouch X LEO turbo.cab when I uninstalled it. the Facebook albums worked again.
Ah, wish I read that early, i just did a hard reset to make it work again lol.
Although saying that, I think alot of the "tweaks" had a negative effect on the phone, now I have my programs re-installed but non of the tweaks, it feels much faster!
I haven't installed that cab so I can't explain why mine has stopped working!
I have found that using the performance Cache tweaks on BSB Tweaks causes this same issue. Of course turning the sliders off and doing a soft reset fixed the problem for me.
Seriously, I recommend just hard reseting and not bothering with half of the tweaks, its seems that most of them have caused bugs and caused the device to slow down for me.
Now its hard reseted, its fast and perfect again.
o wow you guys are right... my facebook album wasn't working.. i uninstalled the LEO turbo cab and all is well again! cheesr
The specific tweak that causes this problem is setting file cache to high. Avoid this and you are golden.

Not to question your statement but I don't quite see a relation between the two.

Not really sure why! I guess it may have something to do with the native size of the images sense is trying to load into memory? Why having a higher file cache would be worse in this scenario I don't know.
Edit: Just noticed that Makeveral has removed the file cache tweak from his latest release of BSB tweaks 1.3
Sweet, turned off performance tweeks and now ok. Cheers
Hi fellow HD2 users.
Sorry kinda OT: Anyone have problems with uploading photos with Microsoft Facebook? My is random, doesn't always work and annoying!!! It uploaded my data, but nothing shows up in my Facebook (Mobile Upload folder)! Waste of my data too!!!
i recently installed Bsb tweaks and found the same thing too, that facebook album stoped working.
Jackuuuuu, I wouldnt bother with the MS app for uploading photos as the HTC album seems to do a fine job, although it would be nice if you could comment on pics from there.
after i turn on my phone it says HTC SENSE launching and after trying many times it says unable to start htc sense , tap here to try again. And it doesnt shows the home screen, like the digital clock, the weather, the shortcuts and the buttons for contacts, mail, settings etc. what should I do with it
Same thing happens to me, after installing navigon!
Any solutions?

Well,this sounds familiar Same thing happened to me countless times after installing various things.The only solution would be a hard reset (If you don`t know the procedure do a search on the forum). Remember to back up your data! I can't comment on Navigon, never tried it.Try to uninstall and launch sense again.Do a soft reset and if it still doesn't work,try a hard reset. It`s the only solution I can think of now so... ) Good luck !
First off, do a search for "unable to launch HTC sense".
Try the possible solutions in that thread.
Try also booting without SD card.
Manually disabling / re-enabling sense.
Uninstalling CHT (if you use it)
Hard reset may be required however these things can usually be solved without one if you have the time and patience.
Hope that helps.
Uninstalling CHT finaly did the job. I was ready to hard reset my HD2. Pffff.....
Tnx for the info conantroutman.

My camera wont work. When i start it up, a message pops up saying: Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device. It does the same for the camcorder. Ive tried opening it from its quicklink at home, from the start menu, and in both spots in the pictures and videos tab. Help.

Are you running as Stock or custom rom? Has it worked before? Have you tried hard resetting? Need more input
factory reset
Looks like it is time for a factory reset. Did you mess with the registry at all!?
what do you mean by registry? Also, the only real mod ive done was Cookies home tab.
PS: hard resetting did not work, and yes, it worked a few days ago.
stock and custom roms are like actuall mods to the windows software right?

"Stock ROM" is the software (including Windows Mobile, HTC Sense, and all the factory-installed apps) that was on your phone when you first bought it. Custom ROMs are what are developed here, and replace the stock one with one that's been tweaked or customized in some way.
If you were running anything but the stock ROM, you would know it because the process to put a new one on there is fairly involved (unless you bought a used phone that already had a custom ROM on it...)
Bought my phone new, got it like last week. All and any customizations to my phone were on CAB files.

I have only had this issue once but I reflashed the rom and it was ok. I would try flashing a stock rom and if that doesnt fix it then it maybe a hardware issue and I would take it to a T-mobile store for a replacement
how do i reflash a stock rom, and will it mess anything up? Like my custom home tab, or my programs?

If you did a hard reset then all your mods should not be there. Flashing a stock rom will remove all the modes you have done. was your modes still there after the hard reset?
yes everything was unchanged. And hard resetting is taking out the battery when it is running correct?

No a Hard Reset is holding the volume down and volume up button and then hit the reset button on the back. Keep holding the volume buttons till you get a grey screen and then follow the directions. This will reset your phone to factory. then install your cabs one by one till you find the one that caused the issue
both vol buttons simultaneously??? And that doesnt sound fun, i guess it will be a good idea to back up everything.

Yes both at the same time. it is easier then it sounds. yes it would be a good idea to back everything up and remove your SD card when you do it
its asking for my serial. where do i get that?

It should not be asking for your serial on a hard reset. If you are trying to DL a stock rom, do the Hard reset first, I am 99.9% certin it will fix the camera
If that finger-dance is a little too tricky, you can also do a hard-reset by going to Settings -> All Settings -> System, and then running the "Clear Storage" icon you'll find there. The buttons method is good to know though, in case you need to hard-reset a totally-locked up phone someday

You bet! I still use the hardware method, both because it just "feels" more absolute, and in case I need to be adept at it if I ever can't get into the software, like last time....and the time before...and.. LOL
i updated and of course, all internet browsers close as soon as a start using them. They open, let me go to a website or two, then close. I was super eager to test the full flash but i can barely get to the websites themselves without the browser closing suddenly. I updated the firmware, profile, prl, and everything. the phone was never rooted.
I'm about to do a hard reset but I figured i should check what you guys had to say first.

Hard reset is the only thing that has helped so far. Just do it, it will make the system work better anyway.
Will a hard reset effect firmware/froyo.
I had the same issues with the camera. Reset all folders permission to read and write.
sorry for my ignorance but how I can do a hard reset? and it will fix the problem?
No, a hard reset basically wipes your data and cache(?) partitions. All apps and data are deleted. This will return you to just your normal firmware, without any customizations. Then you can reinstall apps. I think that's the main problem, some apps aren't dealing with the upgrade too well, and as a result, you get some weird errors. It won't change any versions of your software though.
I'm having the same problem.. If we move the apps to the SD card we shouldn't have to reinstall them, correct? And if we re-install apps, does the settings/info saved on them return or would we have to change those as well? I'm getting ready to do a hard reset too and I spent alot of time with these apps and I was worried about losing info/settings..
Also, I'm using Launcher Pro, will it revert back to Sense after the Hard Reset?

Search "how to hard reset the HTC EVO". It can either be done through the settings menu or you can physically do it using the power and volume rocker.
My dad was having similar issues. And said that going into settings while in the browser and changing enable plugins from "always on" to "on demand" helps
Also the person using launcher pro go into the launcher pro settings or preferabces and all the way on the bottom you can backup your settings/homescreen.

It will return back to sense. It will be like a brand new phone. Before you hard reset backup your launcher pro settings and homescreen. Hard reset if my internet fix didn't work. Reinstall all apps and launcherpro and then restore launcher pro settings and homescreens.
Is hard reset the only way to fix this?
No you can remove Adobe flash and reinstall it.. worked flawless for myself.
James
I hate to ask this sounding like a noob, but I'm at work and can't do much research, but what would be the best way to backup all those files? Just with the USB drive or is there a backup app I can download, etc.
Nevermind, I figured out how to backup Launcher Pro, but how about apps still?

It should still be in the market, got it earlier for latest CM Nightly.
Yeah I don't see it either. I found Flash 10.1 beta on Appbrain, but it won't sync with my phone. I uninstalled and removed flash and my browser is still crashing.
Here is the APK. I had to uninstall it using titanium backup. was easier than going the ADB rm way
James
I had the same problem. Some are saying it's because of installing the half ass full flash version on 2.1 that came out a month ago.
I downloaded and reinstalled the apk and then it worked...for about 6 hours and then the browser starting crashing again.
The next time i uninstalled and then installed the flash 10.1 again, so far, so good.
When I get home I'm gonna try that and hope it works before I do a hard reset.
Nothing worked so I finally decided on the hard reset. I think one should do it anyway to get the best out of the update. Everything works fine now, glad to see that it remembers the apps I had already paid for. The whole thing seems to run smoother than ever, (I hated the baggy scrolling.) Southparkstudios works now, the entire video section of the new York times works now as well. Embedded YouTube videos work on Facebook they play without me having to leave the page/browser.
****ONE ISSUE***
Text fields act strange. I can't type status updates into the full Facebook site anymore, nothing happens when I tap the text field. That blows big time I hate using the Facebook apps I want the full site to work fully.
Similarly, I was never able to type into the text fields on the gmail full site. Now I can a little bit although Tue browser seems uber confused about whether it wants to deal with the text field or not. Any ideas why text fields (
Rich text fields) are such an issue?
I was hoping that yahoo games would work, especially yahoo pool but still no go.
