Camera Problem - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, every time I try a new ROM my camera photos come out half black or completely black but mostly the former. This occurs on every kernel (cynagenmod, tiamat, rcmix, etc.) I try except thederekjay's kernels. My solution has become to simply flash his kernels onto any ROM I use but I would really like to start using the kernels the ROMs come with. I've tried wiping cache and dalvik cache and fixing permissions but nothing helps. Any thoughts?

Do you wipe the system partition between rom flashes?

Sorry I forgot to mention that. I use 4ext touch and I always use the wipe all but sdcard option. I never have just simply flashed over another rom even if its just an update. I've also tried flashing with formatting my sdcard too and that didn't help. Thanks for responding.

Hmm.... Man, I dunno what would even cause that. I've never once run into this issue. Have you tried different cameras?

I've tried a couple but it still doesn't make a difference. As far as I can tell its something with kernels on my phone. I've searched but haven't read or come across anything like what I'm experiencing. I know a lot of stuff depends on each persons phone. Maybe my phone just hates kernels lol. I appreciate trying to help.

Are you sure it isn't the lens ? Might be something in there

Not that I've seen. Again the problem happens whenever I flash a rom with a kernel aside from tdj's kernels. If there was something in or on the lens I assume flashing tdj's kernels wouldn't make a difference. Thanks though. I'll check next time I flash a rom.

Do you get the black parts on your screen when taking with the front camera also?

I'd have to agree with estallings15. However, I did have other issues with my camera using different ICS roms, and was able to resolve them all by downloading absocamera(probably starting to sound like i'm beating a dead horse with this absocam stuff, but dammit, it works! )

Alright, I would just recommend reflashing the whole entire rom.
1. Boot into recovery and do a full wipe, this includes your whole phone. (Data, Cache and Dalvik.
2. Flash the rom file again
You should be good after that, if you didnt do a full wipe before flashing the rom that can cause some problems esp. if you came from fresh.
Hope this helps.

And as far as the "lag" you are speaking of, it is hard to tell why that would be. Another option after reflashing is to flash a custom kernel whichh would help you gain better battery life and should cut down on the lag. However, the Htc #17 kernel that comes in Myn's rom isnt bad either. The only problem with flashing custom kernels is flashing the one that will work best for you, and many times this depends on your hardware version.

I was running Juice Defender with the Stock kernel, and noticed lag a day or two after booting when the phone was waking up a number of times. I began considering which kernel to flash to rid myself of this nuisance, but then disabled all my in-process apps. (Juice Defender and System | Monitor) No lag now, zippy as hell. I did the same with SetCPU on the r4 beta or r3.
Oh, and battery appears to be just the same without these things and my settings.

[Q] HTC sense issues!

Anyone else having problem's waking up the screen when receiving phone calls? Or default ringtones continuously ringing without pausing? I love the rom,but this can be quite frustrating. On the other hand,cyanogenmod has been flawless for me.
I don't know exactly which ROM you're running, but I have the DZ running the stock Sense ROM, and I don't have those issues.

Sorry to hear that, I'm runnung the same ROM, no complaints so far, if in doubt you could always do a fresh install
Try using the pershoot kernel thats what i did and now the problem is gone =)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Others using the same rom have experienced the same thing. Some believe its because of set CPU setting for screen off or the kernal. Check out the roms thread and search it. You'll find some tips that have helped others contain the problem.

All is well.
I actually ended up flashing the pershoot kernel and it worked like a charm. No problems since(sense). Thx 2 every 1 for their suggestion's.

Inverted mms for ICS

I was using version 9.2 of passion rom and had the inverted black mms with blue icons.
I tried reapplying the zip for v10 and it wont work...
So i tried pushing the apk file, and all the mms will do now is force close if i try to open it..
I guess v10 is causing some conflict v 9.2 doesnt, but i cannot stand the blinding white mms...
Ive always been curious... why is the stock messaging app always so basic and optionless? You would think that since anyone who has an android obviously texts that you would make the messaging app cool? Instead u have to download a third party messaging app from the market.. doesnt make sense to me as i would think they would be simple changes... any feedback?
Thanks to anyone who knows about this mms deal on v10!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
anyone have a solution?
I am using an inverted mms.apk but I'm not sure if its the same one you're talking about. Mine has grey icons and all I have to do is install the apk from the phone and it replaced the system app. I got it from the I9000 apps forum. Try searching there. Its just an .apk, not a .zip.

Whatever kid, we have a confirmation it works, I was testing out the three new modded versions of it last night and they all work. Just because you can't figure it out, doesn't mean its not working for everyone else.
And I am just supposed to assume to know what you have done?? That childish to think someone will just know what you have done and assume you have tried anything at all without you relating that information.
Did you ever think it could be that dirty ass neobuddy rom you are running? As this mms has confirmation of working on ICS on multiple devices, but errors out on one I have heard of, YOURS!
But you know what, have fun kid, if you can't take advice from a dev, and want to act like a ****, then thats your perrogative, but I am officially done with you ****ing kids.
I'm not an idiot, and it just force closes on my phone. It's not that hard to push a file.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion. I had assumed it didn't work because lof the 4.0.3 / 4.0.2 difference but maybe it's something else.
I will try a fresh install of passion and see if that possible resolves the issue.
Thank you.
Here's what I did:
1] rename original Mms.apk to mms.apk.bak
2] move the inverted mms.apk to system/app
3] make sure permissions match
4] reboot
If that doesn't work then yeah install passion fresh. That's what I'm on now and those steps above is all that I do.

What ROM/Kernel are you running? Any cases or covers on your phone? When did the problem first start happening?
I'm using the ics beta ROM with it's stock kernal. I have a tpu fusion case which I've always had on my phone with no problems. the calling volume problem started rather recently. I've tried backing up to older roms and the problem Is still there. I'm hoping it's not a hardware issue

Older backups of the ICS beta, or older backups of completely different ROMS? Because given that the ICS ROM is very much still in beta stages, I think it's a safe bet that the problem lies with the ROM if that's the case. But if you're trying different ROMs and the problem persists, I think it unfortunately points to a hardware issue.
Similar Issue
I have a MyTouch 4G with a back and sides only case
I am running creamed glacier 7.1, I have tried it with the bundled kernel as well as the virtuosso ICS beta kernel and the Darkside 13.2 kernel from the creamed glacier thread. I have also tried the test 200 version of creamed glacier.
Sounds from my end come through very quietly; not muted or garbled in anyway just unbearably quiet when I speak normally.
Since multiupload is down, creamed glacier is the only ICS rom I have been able to download and try.
I would like to know which part of a custom rom controls the microphone, and if anyone knows what I should try to fix the problem.
It's a known hardware issue for every ICS rom on this forum. Please read the OP of the ROM's thread when experiencing issues. also for ROM's you can dl them from ROM manager or for Virtuous you can download them from their website (virtuousrom.com)

Assuming you mean the ICS Beta Rom "Creamed Glacier" (They ALL are Beta Stage, By the way) then the kernels included have a mic issue known. On page# 311 of the forum right now, about halfway down, is a link to a kernel that should fix the issue. A few people have tested/confirmed it works. Hope this helps, thank if it does!
EDIT: I meant page 311 of the Creamed Glacier Forum, sorry if that wasn't obvious lol
if you are talking about comb_kernel_WOB.zip, that did not help for me despite working for others. If you're talking about a different kernel, Dwill, I'm not finding it unfortunately.
that's the one I was talking about. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, I just noticed it earlier and thought it'd be worth a shot. Sorry it didn't help.
I'm sure the devs will figure it out eventually. I just hope they are paying attention that the suggested kernels are not working for everyone.
I think its kernel related because if you turn call volume up they can hear you a little better, but if call volume is low they cant hardly hear you at all.

Thanks for the fix. What about the percentage for the battery? Is it not on this one? Or is there a setting that needs to be messed with?
Thanks again
OK, so I've been running this ROM since the day it came out and I completely love it. The theme is fantastic, the battery life is amazing, and it's pretty darn smooth. Even though it's tough to find fault with the build, I will offer up the few issues/requests I've experienced over the last week or so (prioritized).
1. I can't install different kernels. I've tried Ziggy and Imoseyon(sp?)'s latest, and each hangs after the HTC screen.
2. I get FC's on D7 Reader and Dolphin Browser. They're few and far between, so it's only a minor inconvinence. Plus, I have no way to confirm it's ROM related.
3. There's a slight overlap in the header of the Mail.apk (where it says All Messages). Obviously very minor.
4. I'd like to see a flashable zip to disable the volume rocker wake; I know most like it but I use Widgetlocker so it just wreaks havok in my pocket.
5. Would like battery percentage and removal of GPS icon.
6. Can we add some ability to modify the quick settings? I personally don't use Power Efficiency and would like Brightness Level and Flashlight integrated.
7. 7 in 1 and 4 in 1 Power and Reboot menus.
8. Every now and then Exchange has issues syncing. It repeats syncing over and over until I reboot. It's only happened a couple times, and may HTC's issue, not the ROM's.
Like I said, I love this ROM and can't see a reason to leave it (unless someone gets data working on ICS). The above list is just some personal desires. Notice that I haven't said anything is broken or sluggish or ugly. Again, this ROM is great and I'd recommend it to anyone. Thanks for all the great work fkfmfz, I'll be donating shortly...
