EC05 Camera Issue (Won't Open just Force Closes) - Epic 4G General

So I downloaded and flashed the new EC05 deodexed zipaligned tar and installed the Genocide 1.4GHz Kernel and now my Camera FC's...I press the side camera button and all it does is vibrate like it wants to open and then it gives me 2 more vibrates and FC's!
I'll probably just re-Odin the tar and see if it fixes or maybe go back to a stock EC05...but just wanted to put it out there.

Oh, and I'm only running the kernel at 1120MHz and UV by 50...but I went back to the standard 1GHz with no UV and it still doesnt work.

Ya, I'm having tha same issue 2!! I jus installed the tar & no rom/kernel .. I was wondering if the EC05 made any changes 2 tha apk ?? If not, den we should b able 2 use tha EB13 version ?? I'll test wen I get home

That happened to me today. I got it working by going into Manage Applications and clearing data then it worked just fine

i am also having the same issue. i odin'ed using the stock ec05 deodex tar and i'm getting a FC when opening the camera app. I cleared the data for the camera app and it still FC's on me

i used the camera apk from EB13 and that fixed the problem. Place the apk in /system/app.

I also tried to clear data & reboot, but it didn't work. Thanks for tha apk nnaoumi!! It works now!!

I just reflashed the stock EC05 tar and rooted using the one click root method (2.5.5 version). Tested camera and it was working, then flashed the 1.4GHz Genocide Kernel...tested camera and still good.
I haven't adjusted an frequencies yet or undervolted anything, and camera is still working...so I'll make a backup and do some OC/UV later tonite and post my results...if it craps out then I'll try and load the apk that was posted and see what happens!

yeah both those and tw. same same. no workie.
I just started having this problem also. In addition to widgets failing to load my settings reset to default and contacts erase after every reboot. I'm probably just going to do an odin restore unless anyone has any other ideas.

are you running a voodoo kernel?
i think it has something to do with either red cwm or voodoo. i disabled the lag fix and flash a non voodoo kernel with green. that fixed it. using green i flashed another voodoo kernel. when i restarted the phone it did not apply the lag fix. si i rebooted into recovery and got red right away. i enabled the lag fix. restarted and lady android applied the lag fix. when it was done my booted up with all my widgets!!!!!
let me know if anyone else has this problem or theory.
Yes at one point I had run one of the froyo roms/kernels and yes I'm running voodoo. An Odin restore seemed to fix it. Not sure what was the problem.
Sent from my SCH-I500
Several folks over on account had this problem. Getting of red so far has fixed it for everyone. I'm back on voodoo and every thing works great now. But I had to disable lag fix and flash green and flash new voodoo in green before it worked. I have red back but its over green. I didn't even have green before.

First off, Kaoscinate V5 is in a very early stage, and you should not expect everything to work. Wifi is one of those things. That is one of the things that is not yet supported, so I am not surprised that Wifi didnt work in it. I would go install Adrenalynes Fix All DI01, then the EB01 Modem, EB01 rom, etc...
I knew it would be buggy, I have never tested a newer rom before and did not realize the issues can move from rom to rom when restoring.

Yeah, it kinda sucks, but just get you a good healthy backup, then a good titanium backup. Then worst case you can odin and be right back where you were in twenty minutes. Worth it for me to be able to try out all this cool new stuff.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I will have to do that, I keep titanium up to date. I am going to play with just rom some more I will just have to have a process to recover faster if it happenes again. Thanks for the input.

Camera not working!

Hey all. I'm having issues with my camera and was wondering if anyone had any ideas.
I am on an Evo with 0004 hardware.
My camera was working when using CM6.1.2 and didn't work after I started using the CM7 nightlies.
My camera was FC'ing every time that I opened it.
After a while I read that clearing the camera app data through Titanium Backup would solve the Force Close issue. I tried it and sure enough, the camera started working. This was somewhere around nightly #11 for CM7.
Assuming I had fixed the issue, I kept up with nightlies and then did an entire clean install for RC2.
After I had RC2 installed, I tried using my camera and it no longer worked. I tried clearing the data again, as well as clearing both cache and dalvik cache and fixing permissions through ROM manager and nothing has worked. I also tried switching back to older nightlies of CM7 to no avail.
I just tried switching over to Myn 2.2 ROM and once again, the camera did not open and simply stayed on a black screen without FC'ing.
I NEED my camera to work and it appears to not be working on any rom, what can I do??

When you switched back to myns did you nandroid, fresh install, or fresh install w\ titanium backup restore? My guess is you are restoring app data from titanium backup or you have a bad camera

I did a completely clean install of Myn. Should I unroot my phone and redo everything?

If you did a fresh install of myns and didn't restore any titanium backups its looking more like a faulty camera. You didn't flash any kernals right? If you are you need to make sure the kernel supports the newer camera hardware.

I installed SZ over CM7 when I installed RC2 but I didn't install a kernel over Myn's and don't have SZ installed on CM which I'm running now. And as far as I know SZ supports all hardware versions so it wasn't that.

UPDATE:
I have unrooted my phone and the camera is STILL not working. I have no apps installed that could possibly be interfering with the camera. Time to take it into the Sprint store?
I dont see why not
I've had issues with different ROMs on the same hardware. It came down to different kernels for me. I'm running Virus-Infection now, but have found this kernel to fix the cam for me on different ROMs I've flashed.

Not so random reboots

I updated to EI22, stock w/OTA update. I then rooted and things were working great. Then about 1 week ago, I did a CWM backup and when I restarted the phone just kept automatically rebooting approx. every 3 -4 minutes. I could not stop it no matter what I did. Then I restored the backup and it worked fine. A few days later, I turned the power off to put in a my extra battery, and when I turned it on, the same thing happened. I had to restore twice fir it to stop this time. Then this morning, I did a reboot to see what would happen, and again it happened. Mind you it was working flawless before I restarted it. I have tried everything from removing programs, turning off the wifi, leaving the battery out for a half hour, but nothing. Sometimes after it reboots, I leave it alone for 15 minutes and then when I hit the power button, it just restarts.
Any ideas before I put back froyo??
Sounds like a bad flash. I would Odin all the way to Stock EC05 then root then flash a Gingerbread ROM. Your error is either in the kernel or recovery to happen immediately after boot. It could even be a flaky partition table.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
OK. Funny, I flashed backed to a stock EC05 and did the OTA update so as to possible avoid any problems like this.

I figured that but the problem may lie in the rooting which required you to flash a kernel or in your recovery module.

Your not alone on this issue. I am also considering going back to froyo
ADW was nice enough to bring up a crash report that I emailed myself. In the stack trace I see that android Package manager has died as a cause of the exception. I am not a java programmer so am at a loss here to what's happening.

So I flashed to the ACS ICS rom and so far no problems. What a great ROM!! Many thanks to Marcusant and ACS.

don't use the OTA.
just root ec05, flash CWM 5, flash modem update ec05 to EI22, flash a rom of your choosing. it's that simple. i don't see why people go the OTA route. it just causes problems with the recovery.
EDIT: also if you want Rom manager, check the kernel(or rom) for compatibility.
Why use ROM MANAGER at all? All the same tasks can be done from Clockwork Mod directly?

It was not supported for the Epic before but with the new CWM5 it is. It is much faster to boot into recovery from ROM Manager rather than powering down and 3 fingering into it. Plus ROM Manager supports renaming your backups when you are doing them. Also ROM Manager will continuously update your CWM if new versions come out. There is also OTA updates available if the developer supports it on their ROM.

3G turning itself off

Recently my phone has been turning my 3G off by itself. When I turn it on, it stays on for about 10sec and then just turns off. I'm on Clean GB 1.1.2 and running Shadow kernel 3.0. Also I recently used the V6 supercharger. Anyone know anything that might be the problem?

Well I went to cm9 and clean gb back and forth for some time now and noticed that certain apps weren't working and signal was coming off and on solo, with out me pressing "data". And wifi was turning on and off by itself so I just used odin and reverted back to el30 and reflashed cleangb and no problems since than so I would definately recommened it.
And I did never find out why the hell that happened. I always wiped everything and never flashed data back to my calander, or messenger, or email app, etc.

Well nothing is turning itself on and off...the only thing happening is after i activate my 3G, it turns back off after a few seconds...i did find out it has something to with the V6 Supercharger, but its not that there is a problem with the supercharger because that runs great. Their is just something else on my phone that isn't playing well with the supercharger. I might just try to revert back to an old backup and go from there.

Some of the init.d scripts don't play well with all phones and the V6 Supercharger. Use Root Explorer and go to system\etc\init.d folder and delete all scripts in there, reboot then reflash the V6 Supercharger. That should tell you if the V6 is the problem or not.
Make sure you are on the RIGHT version of busybox. Latest CM9's Busybox is too up to date I believe, at least for the Zeppelinrox 3G Turbocharger script I use anyway.

No. Some ROMs don't even have an init.d folder. I recommend Odin to EL30 or FC09 to get your 3G going again and then move forward from there.
