[Q]MS2Ginger Camera Preview

Hi all,
I've just flashed my Motorola Milestone 2 with the ROM below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169038
It previously ran the stock 2.3.4 which was pushed out by Motorola late last year. I rooted the device using SuperOneClickv2.3.1 and then rebooted via Droid 2 Bootstrapper and followed the instructions in that post to install the ROM. The device now boots into MS2Ginger 3.0 successfully and all functions work - except the camera.
Unlike other posts on the forum I can use the hardware button to enter the camera. But there is no image preview on either the camera nor video modes. However, if I "take" a picture, the picture is taken successfully and stored to my SD card. It's as if the preview is just not appearing, but the camera is actually functioning. My symptoms are the same as the poster below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515840&highlight=camera+preview
To this end I am a bit lost. Any help or pointers would be gratefully received!

I'm having the same problem.
New Milestone 2 updated to UK 2.3.4 SBF then installed MS2Ginger 3 according to instructions in aforementioned thread (I think I followed pretty closely).
I cannot:
- Play video in Youtube app or Flash (not tried anything else)
- See any preview in the camera app.
Both just display black where the video would be.
Would love to post in developer forum and help them fix this bug (and help sort my own issue too!) but for silly 10 post rule.

I've reposted over in the MS2Gingerbread thread. Hopefully someone will see it and pick up on our problem..

Thanks!
Have you made any progress with it yourself?
I think I'll move on to a different ROM soon as it's a show-stopper. It's unfortunate because I was loving everything else about this one.

I had many problems with MS2Ginger 3 too, even after two full wipes and re-installing, it was still unstable, so I gave up: got back to retail 2.3.6 and now I'm on tezet cm9 and will soon update to this one
Now I got so much used to the ICS interface that I can't go back to GB

How about the performance? any lags delays something?

This ROM works pretty well. Faster and cleaner than other. But GPS seems to be broken. Also I had troubles installing open-gapps (play services errors appeared). Only clean install ROM and gapps immidiately after that worked out. But enabling location tracking leads to force-closing google services. I remember there was a difference in gps hardware between i9000 and i897.
Thanks for the ROM though. Looking forward a gps fix.

I try port android 6.0 for captivate and bro can test?

oh yes i forgot to make change that. Thanks for notifying this to me. For making gps to work try to replace that file from your lollipop version roms to this and try flashing

i have been using it for several hours and i must say that is very stable and works better than other roms ive tried. its not crazy fast, but its good so far. havnt seen any force close. i havent tested all but su far great job. it takes its time to do its stuff but, im mean, its lollipop on a 6 year old hardware.
thanks for the rom. i was searching for something stable. ill keep testing and reporting.

Super !! Fantastic !!
This, by far, is the best ROM for Captivate. I had to rejuvenate my Captivate as my 6+ was IMPOSSIBLE to use due to the screen flicker disease. I initially tried the CM 11 - 20160815 4.4, it was awfully slow. I tried various other ROMs. SlimKat was decent but, I could not get the ATT signal to work properly.
BIG THANKS to the contributors ! Great Job!!
BTW, Great forum. I will be seen here more often.

gapps
where do I get gapps for this rom?

Open GApps

I think @Audiracecar90 was referring to Open GApps (opengapps.org). Choose "ARM", Android version 5.1, and a Variant of mini or less (TV stock not recommended I guess).

Runs pretty nice. Front facing camera doesn't work.

I have just brought my old i897 Captivate back to life after a few years of sitting around, my primary current phone broke and this is going to be my backup for a few weeks. This ROM works great, I'm just having an issue where the system partition is so small/filled up (even from a clean install) that I can't even install GApps Pico! Not sure if anyone has run into this or has a solution? Thanks!

First of all, thanks to OP and everyone involved in making this rom available. I'm not too hopeful that someone will reply seeing as development for this phone seems dead, which is understandable given its age. Anyway, after overcoming some problems (I'm new), I succesfully flashed it and, by itself, works great. However, now I'm haunted by the infamous "Google play services has stopped working" message every 10 seconds. It goes away after clearing Google Services cache's but that comes with additional problems such as notifications for apps relying on it not arriving (not to mention it's a pain having to do it with every reboot). Any permanent solution? Using GApps Pico. I think the problem might related to the fact that my /cache partition is currently using vFAT (TWRP wouldn't let me change it to F2FS or EXT4.) but I don't really know. I will appreciate all the help I can get because I can't really buy a new phone. Thanks in advance.
Also, fyi, the "Downloads" app (not the manager) FC's everytime I try to open it. Not that it matters because things still get downloaded and are accesible through x-plorer but just wanted to let you know.

Not sure about the answer to your problem, but where did you find TWRP???

I think it came embedded with this rom, I mean.. I flashed from CWM Recovery the first time and once my system was all booted up, going back to recovery showed TWRP.
Also, the stock camera app fc's whenever I try to change settings but Focus (F-droid store) works fine.

Cool....Maybe I'll try it...Thanks.

i just installed but the room does not let me sync my google account

Does anyone have this ROM? The links do not work.
LineageOS uses Android 4.4.4.4 and that is no longer permitting some of my apps to work. I need a later version of Android on my Captivate.

H811 7.0 nougat cm14 rom

So I found that there is a nougat alpha build of cm 14 here.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424966343
I claim no responsibility for the rom I just found it and wanted people to know that there is a build available.
Currently there are no known working and not working details of the rom so comment with details if you end up flashing it.

I gave a slightly older version (9/14 build) a go last night.
Working: WiFi, cellular data, texting, GPS, NFC (as far as I could tell)
Not working: Camera, audio/video playback of any sort, phone (I could make and receive calls but hearing anything was a no go and the dialer app would randomly force close)
I also experienced the issue where if I flashed the ROM and Gapps in one go via TWRP I'd end up in a loop once the ROM booted where it'd never let me sign into my Gmail account. It'd just boot me back to the WiFi setup. Flashing the ROM itself and booting into it then flashing Gapps after worked fine. Was able to sign in to my Gmail account with no issues at all.
I could live without audio/video playback since I have a backup phone I could use for both but being unable to listen or speak when using the dialer app to make and receive calls is currently a "pass" for me since I'm waiting on some important calls. So if you absolutely need to use your phone as an actual phone wait til the issues there are fixed.

Yeah earlier builds didn't have the audio policies fixed; now they do. Obviously the camera is being worked on

Make sure you have updated your H811 to 20o. 20i isn't working very well with CM14 at this point.

[ROMs] Source for LG H811 (T-Mobile) CM-14 Nougat
I have begun building CM-14 (Android AOSP 7.0.1, Nougat) for H811 and will post ~weekly builds here. The builds are from the CyanogenMod and Muppets (vendor proprietary) sources on github. This I will do until a developer at CM takes on the task of creating official "nightly" builds for LG H811 CM-14.
Please report problems here and I will forward them on to official CyanogenMod devs.
2016-10-04: Don't expect great things right away. On first builds the phone app crashes continuously and it will soak the battery dry in a few hours.
2016-10-07: The build today is working relatively nicely. Earlier problems may have been partly my error. I've been running today's build all day without major problems. Battery drain is higher than CM-13.0 version but not terrible. I'm planning on running this ROM over the weekend to see what bugs pop up. Only two so far – the external sd access as reported earlier; and flakey navigation button editing. Give it a try!

Help me choose a ROM for best camera experience.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to XDA(joined just today to get help on this topic) so please ignore any mistakes.
Coming the the topic , I had been waiting patiently for official release of oreo for my phone , hoping that they would improve the camera, but now that i know that official oreo is 32 bit and we're not getting camera2 api i've lost hope from moto.
I'm sick of the oversharpening, artifacts, low DR ,from my current camera app.
And as the title suggest I want the best camera experience(both photos and video) and don't really care much about anything else.
ROM should be stable.
I'm ready to compromise on battery , performance , etc for the better images and video .
P.S. I've never installed a custom ROM on any of my phones or even rooted them. So any help in that regards will also be much appreciated.

Personally, I would stay stock. Oreo will be arriving very soon. This is best camera in my opinion:
https://potterroms.me/Mods/Camera/GCam_Nougat_3.2.045.apk
It's the 32bit mod of gcam, not all features are there but, hdr+ is, and that gives decent photos so long as you don't mind manual focus before taking photos by tapping screen. It does focus auto but can be a bit temperamental. If you manual focus it takes good images.
If you do decide to root etc, first and foremost...get a backup of efs before doing any Oreo flashing.

As u said u r new, Welcome to the XDA forum,
If you want the best camera experience go with Arnova8G2's Gcam port, this of course comes only by installing a custom 64-bit ROM & camera2api. Even I have recently rooted and installed AEX ROM and man what a camera quality! Just spectacular. Just like the above suggestion please take full back up of your rom (with EFS and PERSIST).
To take back up:
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Flash TWRP and Root
3) then back up, take EFS and Persist backups separately, in some cases u just need to flash efs or persist. Also take full backup along with all the boxes ticked.
If things go ur way, u can download and install any 64-bit ROM like LineageOS, AEX, Pixel Experience etc.
I have been using AEX, I am on the ninth cloud since then:laugh: customization+performance+battery life.
All the best.:good:

Android 9.0 For G920F/G925F

Hello Guys :fingers-crossed:
What about our beloved device, Is there any developer who works on this project to bring us android pie for this device
And if there can we test it ?? :good:​

Yes, and yes.
@lukasb06 is working on it, and TeamNexus (?). Go and give him thanks on his thread for the NexusOS
He hasn't been online in almost two weeks or so, though. Not sure how he'll feel about us being the ones to spread news about his ROM instead of letting him do that, but oh well.
https://stor.lukasberger.at/TeamNexus/.testing/Samsung/zero/9/2018-09-08/
Though be wary, there's not even a thread about it yet, so many bugs could be present.
Bit of advice:
1. Stock camera doesn't work - use the GCamera modded for the S7Exynos.
2. GPS in plain device mode doesn't work - use high accuracy.
GApps can be downloaded from the OpenGapps website just select ARM64, 9.0, pico, and flash them after flashing the ROM.

Nice Thank you :highfive:

What about RIL Is it working ??

Well, no one has reported it as a bug yet, as far as I'm aware, so yeah?
Though bluetooth call-audio, and VoLTE (like in Oreo ROMs) don't work.
Also, instead of the modded GCamera, you can try using Open Camera.

- black theme crashes
- can´t power off softkey lights

Calling is working, back camera is working in open camera, but front camera always FC.
That is what I tested for 30 min. (SM-G920F)
