I have never had that issue. Hmm. What do you wipe before you flash a ROM?

It's probably not a wipe issue since it's a known issue on Sense 3.5 ROMs. However, I believe that is the only platform that has that issue. All other ROMs including earlier versions of Sense (like 3.0) don't have that bug.

Alright then. I wonder why I've never run into that. I've used 4 different sense 3.5 ROMs and use my camera everyday.

I wipe the cache and do a factory data. I actually just tried virtuous with sense 3.0 and still had the same issue. Im back on stock now cuz is the only sense ROM I can find without this issue

Unity ROM has that issue, with Sense 3.0.
You need to flash Doubleshot camera to get rid of it.

You should wipe system partition between ROM flashes. It will save lots of issues in the future. That, followed by wipe data/factory reset (on CWM). Alternatively, if you're on 4EXT there is a "format all partitions (except sd card)" option.

Thanks for the link so what would be a good rom to work with this apk? i figure it wont work on any 3.5 sense roms as no ones been able to resolve the problem towards the flash and camera on those roms, if im correct?

Any gb sense ROM. That includes Sense 3.5

Well I just tried mikrunny. Wiped, flash, rebooted and than flashed the doubleshot camera but I'm still getting the flash delay I know I'm just being picky but the only reason I have a mytouch if for the flash when I go out to snap pics, otherwise I have my vibrant for my everyday phone. I just wish I could find a 3.5 ROM that doesn't have this problem, I really dislike stock espresso ROM lol

Well, teejay said its probably not a wipe issue, but as I've said before, this has never been a problem for me. Format system, wipe data/factory reset (in that order), and reflash. Formatting the system partition has saved me many an issue that others have reported.

Then try sense 3.0 rom.Im gonna try one in this weed end.Anyway,CM7 has a great camera.

Alright, so I just installed virtuous unity and loved the ROM but camera did not work with flash so I tried to flash the double shot camera and still same issue I guess my question now, since I can't seem to get my camera to function properly on sense 3.5 or 3.0 roms, what ROM if any would anybody suggest. I want something fast and smooth, any help would be greatly appreciated, thankyou

Liberated FR007

I just updated my aria to the latest 2.2 liberated Rom. I installed it this morning and now just realized it said to wipe data before I installed it. But I didn't. I just plain out installed it. It seems like its running fine. But what do I do? Do I still need to wipe data or something?
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
If it were me, I would do a backup and wipe it then re-install, but If you are not experiencing any issues, then it does not seem like you need to. If you do encounter any issues, Then definitely do it.
No need to wipe data if you are going from a liberty to liberty, if you went to liberty to cm6 then yes you would need to wipe data..

Don't think too complicated for this, if you don't have problem, then let it be.
To tell you to wipe, is to lower the chance to have problem.
It's just same as upgrading/change of different OS of you PC.
e.g. One maybe painless from XP -> Vista without format, the other maybe turns out blue screen.

What version of CM7 do you have? RC1? It is widely known that RC1 still has many GPS issues for people. There are fixes in the thread for modifying a few files. Or you can flash to any nightly later than around build #4 (they started over at #1 after the RC1 came out) in which they fixed some GPS issues for many people.
Thanks alot man. Im really new to this is there a link for to fix the problem? Im not sure how to do the nightly because me and my friend just rooted last night for the first time.

Just flashing a newer build is probably easier than doing a fix and modifying files if youre new to this.
The latest nightlies can be found on cyanogenmod.com . HERE is the link to the G2 (HTC Vision) nightlies.
The latest is #7 right now (cm_vision_full-7.zip). Just download and put on your SD card (remember, only use the builds for "Vision", the codename for the G2). Go to ROM manger and click "Install ROM from SD card" then select the file and you're good to go. Don't forget to do a Nandroid backup first just in case it doesn't work out for you.
All these builds are is small iterations and changes baked on-top of RC1 and before the stable release. For the most part at this point their no more/less stable than RC1.
Thanks alot. Would i need i need reinstall the zip for google maps?

Nope, if you're coming from a previous version of CM7 and don't wipe data (theres no need to) you shouldn't need to reflash any Gapps.
Well i did the nightly cyn7 and still not working. I even went back to the RC1 and still not working. Idk what else to do. I was thinking of going to cyn6 since its stable?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Did you flash the nightly over RC1? Just make sure to clear the caches without wiping the data. And then flash it over.
Did you enable Google location sharing (the exact terminology of that may be off)? If you're stuck at "Waiting for location" you might need to toggle that setting.

If anyone still is having issues and you have Juice Defender install, uninstall it. For me it seems that Juice Defender was the issue. I noticed that Juice Defender and Gingerbread do not get along. GPS works now. I also install nightly 8 after clearing the cache.

Unity Virtuous 2.37 Front Camera not working on mytouch4g

Ok, some how i tested the front camera on mytouch 4g to take a picture, but i notice that it was not working.
So, tried and tried but the onlyt hing that came out it was that only black screen, and freezes.
Since i installed the ROM i did not test the front camera until now.
Is there any fix?

Just do a complete wipe and flash the rom again. May be FFC will work now.
If you still face problems try any other roms than VU.
Also try the ffc without any themes. Some themes break stuff.

Second that! Oh and yeah bad place to put this. Actually this question get's asked a lot, yet there is no definitive answer it seems?... I believe it is all about personal preference. MIUI seems to have a great balance of everything I could want in a phone and super user friendly customization. I searched a month for a rom... Tried most 2.3.x and while they all offer something and are greatly appreciated... I just so happen to like MIUI the best. Goodluck!
Cm7 is what many people go for, but if you google the things you can do in MIUI, then you will see it offers the most features. The non stock version that nickminn updates every friday seems to be better than any other 2.3.5 rom I have seen otherwise.. but they all have bugs, reduced battery life versus 2.2.x, and barely or non working gps.
The bugs I still had when I stopped using it a few weeks ago: media button on headphones doesn't work, if listening to music when you get a call and you answer, the music will continue to play, you have to restart it after charging(at least after long charges) or it will not go into deep sleep, and occasional sd card issues(my music player would too often not be able to find the music).. the plus side is all of the features: the notification bar being customizable and shortcuts to each toggle, the ability to theme EACH part of the UI individually, the built in backup/restore, the battery tracking, the device data usage app, the multi touch drag/drop and tons more.
Also I was getting 16-20 hours under heavy/moderate use which is the best I have seen on any ginger rom including cm7.. on ANY 2.3.5 rom you need to use cpu spy to make sure it goes into deep sleep to have good battery.
Hope this helps.. there is a large trade off using any gingerbread rom until we get the source code-- I went back to 2.2.1 because EVERYTHING works, and I simply can't kill it in 24 hours unless I TRY.. I get 24-48 hours per charge. I miss the features of MIUI, but not enough for the costs-- most of the differences between 2.2 and 2.3 is mostly cosmetic in the end.
I think he means 2.2 roms that look like GB. In that case, try Bionix 1.3.1. It should be easy to find.

[Q] Why wont my MT4G run any ROMS that have the Sense UI?

I just started flashing ROMs to my phone and I do want to have the ability to run ROMS that have the sense UI. Every time I flash one, all these processes start crashing one after the other. I can never get to the homescreen. :/ Also, I LOVE the way the MIUI ROMs look, but this one process crashes every 5 seconds or so and it really gets in the way of using the phone. Is there a fix for this?
What recovery are you using and what version? Also, are verifying the ROM's MD5 before flashing?
Looks like a failed eMMC or a bad download. It successfully flashes in CWM though?

I thought about failed eMMC, but didn't think the ROM would flash or boot at all in that case. It's possible though.
have you verified the md5 sum?
done a full wipe?
Are you flashing the rom by itself or are you flashing anything else with the rom simultaniously before booting up? Like a theme, mod or kernel. Is always best flashing the rom alone, booting up, doing a nandroid and then flash anything else on top.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Are processes crashing before you get the to the GUI, before setup is complete, or after setup is complete?
Incidentally, MIUI is not a Sense ROM and is part of the AOSP/CM family. It sounds like you have a problem that extends to both types.
