With the last gingerbread kernel (android 2.3.6) i dont found way to the cam works. Anyone knows how to make it? downgrade to froyo/GB 2.3.4, a new Green Bread Mod.... something that the people who has flashed the gb kernel by error can fx it.
Sorry for my english.
Stock camera app wont work. try lgcamera
I already tried it. Don't works.
DONT downgrade to 2.3.4, youll brick your phone! green lens wont work on gb (2.3) kernels, because official gb roms are for defy+, and defy+ has red lens, so the green lens module is excluded from the kernel. but as far as i know, epsylon3 is working on a cam driver.
I have tried differents methods to dowgrade but anyone has bricked the phone, i only reflash 2.3.6 sbf. would you tell me where i can find about epsylon3 work? Thanks very much.
Hi
I did flash full sbf 2.3.6 on my red lens defy...
Is there any fully working cutsom Rom? I know about the CM 7.2 nightly for Defy+ and they work except camera has no autofocus , pics are ionverted and even Videos... of course there is CM9 but there are way too many things to be sorted out for daily use
So anything like miui or msginger working?

CM7 nightly works, here's the fix for inverted pic
MS2ginger 2.1 also works, while last time I tried to flash a Miui it gave me a boot loader error and I had to flash back
I tried 1.12.16 ( I guess ), now there's a pretty new version, so if you wanna try to flash it go ahead and tell us what happens don't worry, you can always go back stock
I had MS2Ginger and I have CM7.2 nightly now, so you can be sure about that
ok will give the inverted pics fix a try but still the autofocus is not working in the latest nightlys... ( no sound when openeing cam or trying to focus on something...lens is not moving!) is this working with msginger?
Need autofocus working...with motorola 2.3.6 everthing works of course but otherwise it is crappy
It is working for me xD I have a Defy+, maybe that's the difference, but on CM7.2 nightly autofocus and touch to focus work perfectly
i tried the older nightly from 13th december and with the fix for inverted pics and cam.apk everything including Autofocus is working.... this fix is not working with the 23.12 nightly...tried it...
@shark...
now everything works too...but only on 13.12 nightly the latest one not...
and Defy red lens with full sbf flash or defy+ origianl with full sbf flash....there i no difference except battery
I'm new to this forum but have got solutions for many of my questions from here. I own a Motorola defy MB525 (SOC Camera), tried to fiddle around with it in order to install custom ROM's and eventually screwed up in the process .After my failed attempts, was able to somehow get a working Indian Motorola Froyo SBF and fix my phone, which was otherwise not booting, that was a small victory . In the meanwhile, had been to Motorola Service Center to replace my broken glass. Got that replaced, however I wondered if the service center could somehow update it with official Defy+ ROM and that's when I screwed up completely.
They updated it with official 2.3.6 Defy+ ROM and now my Camera module is dead , battery lasts hardly for 5-6 hrs on stand by :crying: , which would otherwise last for 2 days on foryo and my phone model shows MB526. I wouldn't worry about the camera right now, but I want my battery last for a day atleast
Is there a way I can go back to my original froyo ROM which I doubt would be possible
Can someone help me on this ? any patch that I could update for battery issues? anything at all !
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried flashing the original SBF with RSD Lite?
RSD Lite is an App used by Motorola to Flash Smartphones. It can revive mismatched Nandroid/Fixed SBFs, Black Screens, failed flashes etc.
Even though is really, really hard to completely brick a Defy, it is possible; a corrupted SBF, power failure on a critical part of the formatting, or some weird issues while creating partitions can lead to a Bricked Defy. If you can, always flash your Defy from a laptop so the power is not an issue, use good cables, and be sure the PC doesn’t go to sleep when is not being used.
Also, when flashing SBFs, is normally advised to put your SBF in your PC Root directory (C:/ ) or whatever it is in your PC and rename it to a short name like Defy.sbf, why? Because sometimes the Path name is just too long and RSD Lite throws errors not allowing the phone to be Flashed.

Yes, I have tried the same Froyo SBF that I tried to flash before using RSD Lite, but it didn't succeed this time. Later I tried many Defy+ ROM's aswell, nothing worked ... put a lot of effort to do all that and got fed up. Went back to the service center and they re-flashed it with their Defy+ ROM using RSD Netconnect which is something they use to flash the ROM's. May be this works a bit differently. It worked this time... now I'm stuck with this ROM, which drains my battery like anything and rendered my camera dead.
Well...thanks anywazz will try the steps suggested by the other mate...
Ok Simple Steps to Recover & Get ur camera working

Dude I went from the steps in which u are currently stuck.
My defy 525 was not booting hence i went to authorized service center, Vashi, Navi Mumbai & Engineer over there has flashed defy plus rom on my mb 525. My camera was dead for 2 months. Now you are on BL7. Talk enough here are the steps...
Step 1:- Root your Defy, link is as below for BL7 ROOTING..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013
Step 2 :- Flash any 2nd Boot Defy Custom Rom ( Quarks (cm10) / Epsys (cm 9 & cm7 ) / Kayants( cm10)
By the way I use Epsy 2nd boot for CM7**( ONLY WIFI IS NOT WORKING OTHERWISE ITS STABLE ROM )
WWW.DEFY-CM.NET
Use 26112012 rom
Thats the only way to your defy to use with camera. ** Camera will work only on 2nd boot rom
In case additional help is required then let me know..
Happy to Help...

Bro, Thanks a lot I see a ray of hope again
...I was able to root my device, somehow I was unable to flash the first file mentioned on link you gave but was able to flash the second one,still I could see that the device was rooted inspite of that.
Now, please help me with detailed instructions on how to go about flashing the new ROM with some youtube Video references will also help. Also what about the battery life ? have you been able to get a decent battery life after flashing the new ROM ? and will I be able to flash ROM's meant for MB525 or should I choose only ones meant for MB526 ? If so, then will it still drain my battery bcoz it will contain a GB kernel ? Will my device ever be same again?
Also, you have mentioned that ur wifi isn't working on the ROM that you are running, is it specific to that ROM ?
Plz dnt mind, I have asked too many questions.. I'm not well versed with all this....still learning from my mistakes.
Solved !

Hello I updated my g6 to Android pie and now the camera app will not open. It just crashes. I did a hard reset but still no go. It also won't let me use the camera in any apps or messages. I have tried to download other camera apps but no go either. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
can you turn flash on ? what about vibrator (a commun issue with G6) ?
i'm having kind of the same problem, the camera doesn't work on Oreo stock but on other costum roms. the vibrator in the other hand seems to be broken, it might causes issues on stock roms, besides the camera flash and other sinsors are down :/
I also have problem with camera after coming back to stock pie. I'll try to flash custom ROM again to check if camera software is broken completely and the thing that installing custom ROMs destroys stock camera software or something...
