Not sure how i did this but after installing GenerationX rom my camera stopped working...ive tried almost everything that i know like trying different roms, doing a restore backup in rom manager, pulling the battery..sim and memory card and it still forces close. if anyone could help me i would GREATLY appreciate it <3 thank you!
Sounds like a hardware issue.

What other roms did you try out that the front and rear cameras arent working on?
Do a full wipe and either reflash the ROM or flash another ROM.
I would suggest to just flash the latest CM7 nightly.
What other Roms have you tried. Are you possibly using the wrong kernel type for your Rom?
I agree with mackster, the easiest/best thing to do would do a FULL wipe and flash another rom, or redownload that rom and try to reflash it. (after a full wipe of course)
Edit: Lots of Rom choices listed in the link in my sig ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓

i think i did all that, maybe something happened when i flashed the newest version of generationx...i even went back to old roms that i had no problem with previously...maybe it messed up some sort of script somewheres along the line? Sorry if im not sounding too brilliant i am a noob and am just tryna get with the program. thank you guys so much for the help!!!

Are you having these problems with your ffc before or after restoring your apps (either by googles auto restore or via titanium or mybackup)?

I didnt even bother restoring my apps because i wasnt sure if i had to do a restore again, i tried qik and the stock camera app, but im also thinking that the wallpaper and theme is doin some funny stuff too like not changing when i switch to new roms...i just put the royal ginger rom on it and i have a wallpaper and theme from like 2 roms ago...so idk im all confused :/
this is all i know...i had the generation x v4 rom on my phone and it was working just fine, then i seen that generationx had a new version so i flashed that...thats when it all started...and since then ive tried to revert to tha rom that was working fine and its not fixing it
ive never flashed a theme before just roms but i found a cool theme for my current rom and was wondering how to go about flashing it...do i need to flash the rom again? basically i just need basic steps...sorry if i missed a similar post in the forum but i checked and didnt see a guide
Just install the theme from sd card like the rom no need to flash the rom again i would make a backup of your rom though incase anything go's hazy..this is the way i was told for my evo shift and havent had any probs...
thanks...now running mikshifted 1.6 with blue glass theme...its the ****

Glad to see hear it flashed ok. But next time Boot into recovery, Wipe Dalvik and Cache. Then flash the Theme. It will avoid possible issues.
Thank's prboy wasnt sure if it was needed to flash cache and davlik i searched my self and only came up with how to flash romz had to Pm a few people to find out...

Hi,
I've successfully modded my MS2 yesterday using (walter's?) "ms2ginger-rc2". It's been quite easy - I expected it to be much more difficult.
Unfortunately it's impossible to add accounts (app crashs). Therefore I plan to roll back to the sysbackup Imade before with Clockworkmod and to re-mod it with a newer/ better/ more stable variant.
Can you suggest one that you are happy with? I am fine with Blur - it can be included.
Anything to keep in mind for the rollback? Just revert to the backup via the bootloader?
CU,
Meszi.

i have tried CM7 and was before using it on BackFlip, but on Milestone 2 i am really loving MIUI its great ROM.
The problem is as i saw no one who is maintaining these CM7 or MIUI rom is not Dev, so i kinda think Milestone 2 can perform better with some optimalisation for it. The reason is as far as Stock Froyo was slow, CM7 and MIUI did not show kinda speed progress or increase i guess it is performing same as stock ROM or maybe little but only little better, on BackFlip there was really dramatic speed change on CM7 but the dev around BF was more active then on Milestone and i am happy with what we have already.
As far as I know, the MIUI is the latest one. But that's just because endles7's ( the guy who is porting CM7 to M2) phone is bricked at the moment.
Both, CM7 and MIUI are great ROMs, but, at least for now, if you're looking for the newest one, then MIUI is the one for.
I believe that CM7 will be supported again soon, there is a movement on the forum to buy endles7 a new one if his is really bricked forever.
I'm using MIUI because o like the interface better.
Hope it helped =)
Upgraded to "ms2ginger 1.1" but still problems with accounts management
Hi,
I reverted to Froyo, reloaded the backup I had done with Clockworkmod, made an app backup using Titanium and re-modded the device to "ms2ginger 1.1". But still there is the same issue with accounts ("Konten" in German): When trying to add an account the app crashes.
I am fine with the rest ... it works far faster than with Froyo.
Is there a way to get accounts/"Konten" work again? Probably by finding it in the Titanium backup and taking the old app or by (re)installing some working .apk?
At the moment I am still very new to this topic ... until last week I still believed in the myth having bought an "unmoddable" device.
I'd try CM7, too ... but if it's possible to have it done with "ms2ginger" I'd at first prefer trying it that way.
Any suggestions?
CU,
Mészi.
after trying cm7, i really prefer MIUI Rom on A953 !
but Cyanogen team will soon release a 2.3.7 Rom ... so we'll see !
Switching from MS2Ginger to CM7 Nightly
Sorry, if it appears to be a dumb question. But at the moment I am still very new to this topic and want to avoid bricking the device by forgetting a thing when switching from "MS2Ginger 1.1" to some CM7 ROM...
When reading the installation steps of the nightly build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778)...
*START copy&paste*
[How to Install]:
1. Download all in one update.zip
2. Make sure you have CWM3.x/4.x working. Or download from here.
3. select all in one.zip then apply update.
4. double wipe(if you are coming from previous CM7 version,just wipe cache/dalvik)
5. For CWM4.x, reboot and done.
For CWM3.x, download fixed-sbf and flash it. Then done.
*END copy&paste*
...it's not plain to me if I needed to switch back to the official Froyo or if "updating" with the all in one.zip and wiping the data would be sufficient to get rid of the previous "MS2Ginger". :-/
Any recommendations?
CU,
Mészi.
Do you try with "RSD Lite" software to put the stock Rom ?
and then you do the update to the custom rom ... no brick with this method i think ! but i'm not expert sorry !

That's the question.
If it's not necessary I'd directly load the CM7 ROM using CWM.
But, anyway: As long as I can access the boot loader (PowerOn + Cam + VolDown) I could still revert to the official Froyo if updating to CM7 directly would not work.
I think I just give it a try...
CU,
Mészi.
exactly ... i was afraid last friday while updating my stock rom for MIUI ... my battery goes out !
all day i was thinking that my lovely Milestone was bricked ... but with "rsd lite" i re-install my original froyo ... and then i could re-root it and put the miui version !
last version is perfect ! just the problem of keyboard layout but there is a script who put it back to azerty ...
have a good luck for your update !
++
So you would recommend downgrading to the official Froyo at first? *somewhat confused* :-/

... i don't really know ... just said that for me that was the only way to rescue my bootlooping m2 !
normaly you can update from any rom, just don't forget to clear cache, "dalvik cache" too (don't remeber the name) ...
the best is to do a factory reset before rebooting too ... but it's not always necessary ... from miui 1.09.23 to miui 1.10.8 i don't have to do it ...
they don't talk about it in the related post of your rom ?
Ok, thx. I am gonna just try it wiping the cache and overwriting the ROM. ROM switching is not relly described in the MS2Ginger HowTos. *g*
Will post my results here...

Worked w/o any problems
Hi there,
I just "updated" my MS2 from "ms2ginger 1.1" to "EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0" without any problems.
I can only recommend to check the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778

Problems with CM/ Nightly
Hi there,
I am half-way about to throw it away again.
I installed EndlessCM7_20111001_Nightly_BPSW_v1_0.zip and then EndlessCM7_update_from_111001_to_111004_v1_5.zip and it appeared to work fine.
But I had to recognize an instable Market app, WiFi cannot connect to my access point and the camera app crashes reliably after starting it.
I will post this in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778 too hoping that these are known issues with known solutions on it.
If anyone of you knows I'd be glad if you threw some suggestions at me.
CU,
Mészi.
O well....
For me, MIUI is workind perfectlly, without any problems.
And, my battery life increased alot with the latest build of it
So i would recommend it.

Update: I reverted to the stock ROM and installed the most recent version of EndlessCM7. Now it's working fine.

Hi, Michael:
I'd like to have my MS2's battery improved like you said and enjoy Exchange server support as well . Do you know if MIUI rom supports it?
MIUI has Exchange server support and works fine.
Hello!
I recently rooted my Desire Z because of the sense restarting issue on the official gb rom. Started off ok with Virtuous Sense but it started randomly restarting the phone quite often - a few times a day. Tried fresh wipe with no apps, no luck. So installed old official 1.84 Froyo (not greedy, just want a working phone with Sense) rooted by rmk. I still get the same problem.
Pretty much ruled out a rogue app.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks in advance.

So it's the whole phone restarting ? Could be a loose battery. Try wedging a little bit of paper (perhaps folded a few times ) in between the top end of the battery and the case, to try and make sure it keeps contact.

Thanks for the reply. The battery seems tight and it's only started happening since I rooted though.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I had this happen every day before I rooted. It has happened after from time to time but mostly on Sense-based ROMs.
I don't know if it's coincidental but at least for me on MIUI and CM it seems to happen less frequently (maybe once every second week).
hey bro that used to happen to me alot too
in my experience it only happened to me on the original rom and on cyanogen 7 rom. try the wiping everything and using different type of rom like maybe miui or something that is not sense to see if it helps.
hope i could help
Thanks for the replies. Have done a clean wipe of virtuous sense and it has yet to restart. If it does, I will take your suggestions and try a completely different Rom - though I will miss friendstream!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Nope. Keeps happening. Gonna try miui but surely there must be something I'm doing wrong here. Open clockwork, choose Rom and select clear data, cache and davik. Anything else required?

you first flash the rom and then wipe data, cache & dalvik?
...i would suggest to wipe before you flash the rom
and you could also use superwipe (flash it through recovery):

In Clockwork, you make the selection to flash the ROM, then it asks if you want to wipe. But the wipe actually does occur before the ROM flash. That is what the OP is talking about.

ah ok... so he doesn´t boot into recovery and wipes manually sry for misunderstanding, but superwipe is a good idea anyway....
Thanks for replies. Yes, wipe takes place before rom install. Installed miui.us. Very nice, but same problem. There must be something I've done. Anybody any ideas?

The only other thing I do when installing a fresh rom is fix permissions in rom manager... worth a try I guess
Which version of cw recovery do you use? you could try to install a older one (3.0...)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I use the newest version. 5.0.2.7 I think.
Did the fix permissions thing and no crash so far. Will repost tomorrow see how it goes.
Many thanks to everyone for all the suggestions.

Aaaarrrggghhh! Worked fine all day. Put it in my pocket when I got home from work. Took it out, pressed the power button and it turned on! It only ever happens when it's turned off. I've never had it reset when in use.

hi there,
using cm 10 too latest version which is now theROM (20120726) and you have to find the latest apps for google too gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip they are both experimental so both have bugs but for me stable enough to use everyday like me .
sometimes you have to wiat a while for apps to open , cause theres sometimes lag, but bit by bit pawitp will work it all out ok.
If not reinstall the rom and gapps again to be sure.
see ya
hope that helped
Thx for the answers. I dont think that i change my rom. Think pawitp does great work.
I have the latest builds and there aren't any lags. Only force closes... :/
Maybe another build will fix it
I will wait
