I've been googling and googling and can't seem to find even a hint of an answer, I decided to start here.
I have a rooted incredible (ADR6300) running MIUI 1.7.15.0
I downloaded the paypal app which now has check image capture for direct deposit into paypal account.
I launch this app and the image capture part. It asks to take a picture of the front of the check, which I do. No problem.
Then it wants me to flip the check over and take a picture of the back - here I get a black screen - no camera image. The phone isn't frozen because I can easily cancel. I actually went as far as to install CM7 to see if it was a ROM issue but it did the same thing. I'm pretty sure this isn't an app specific problem, but I can't be sure.
Anyone have any experience with an issue like this? I would love to get it fixed. Thanks!
I am rooted and running SkyRaider 4.2 with no issues. I have used PayPal to capture two check images to date.
Are you running stock camera app or after market?

I presume it's the stock camera app - both miui and CM7 have camera "app" incorporated into the ROM
I suppose I could try some other camera app from the market. Maybe see what camera app skyraider uses.
Thanks.
So, as an experiment, i loaded skyraider and low and behold it worked.
I'm presuming it's because skyraider is based on stock ROM verses ASOP like CM7 and MIUI
Of course I went through all that and the paypal app wouldn't accept the check - error about not being able to read the check or something. it's a handwritten check so I'll test it again when I have a different check.
Thanks for the input.

Just a quick question, not sure if this is the correct place to post this. I noticed that all the ROM's with the exception of 1 all have the TW Camera app as the default camera program. I then saw that the new Eclipse ROM came out and it has the AOSP camera.
Is there a way to extract the AOSP camera app and install that into a different ROM? Not sure how the whole framework thing works. etc... thanks!
First, why would anyone want to use the AOSP Camera app? Not saying it doesn't get the job done, but compared to the stock TW Camera app, it's not very nice looking, and the last time I used it, it wasn't nearly as functional. That aside, you should just be able to replace the APK as I don't think there should be anything that will affect functionality missing, but I can't say that for certain as you may run into issues.
Isn't there a camera firmware apk? Or is this in all phones and it's just what the actual camera app uses to communicate with hardware?

Thanks Innuts. I was just curious. Maybe its just me but when I take pics in portrait mode the buttons don't rotate to portrait mode like AOSP. Also I noticed sometimes if you take a picture in portrait it doesn't rotate the image, so it looks sideways. I noticed this when taking a picture then sharing it to social website. I was just going to test both out for fun

Wouldn't an AOSP camera allow for enhanced or modded Camera apks? I know we already have some slightly modded camera apks. One thing I think would be cool is some sort of adjustment to take shots at different exposure levels automatically.
Another thing that would just be insanely cool is the ability to pull out the RAW data. Is this possible with AOSP camera, or would a camera firmware rewrite be necessary? I would be completely blown away with RAW.
I personally like the tw camera, so I pulled the camera apk and camera firmware apk from tweakstock and put them into eclipse. while I was at it I also pulled the clockpackage apk, calculator apk and the calender apk from mnml and put in eclipse a well. As you can see I like the tw apps, but I love the speed of eclipse.Don't know what the difference is but the phone opens instantly on eclipse which is something I haven't been able to get any other ROM to do. So I think I will stay with eclipse with the tw apps for now until something better comes along. Sorry to hijack the thread, just wanted to put in my two cents.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

I have a custom Rom installed (NexusMod 2.0) and I cant seem to get the original stock Email Widget restored. I took a full Titanium backup and I see the Email 1.0 widget (which is striked out in Titanium backup) but when I try to restore it, it just sits there trying for a long time, never stops, even waited 10mins.
I found a few folks online that have posted the EmailWidget.apk (about 870k in size) but when I try to install it, it just tells me "Application not installed" Wondering if its trying to tie itself to the stock email client which maybe the NexusMod rom has a slightly different version or type of it? Not sure....
Id really like to get that one back since its about half the screen size widget and shows the last 3-4 emails when using the Native client (which I need to for my work exchange email).
Thanks

The problem is if that apk is odex and your custom rom is deodex. That's why it wont work. I don't know how to fix it that's beyond my skill level. I just figured out the problem for myself with some research. You can however try the new silver rom it has the email widget cuz it stock rooted rom odex. To get a better understanding of deodex and odex give it a Google.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Your right, i completely forgot about that. I will look into what it takes to say deodex just the email widget, or maybe look at other custom roms which are deodexed and still have the widget and see if I can port it into this one.
Yea I like that widget also and had the Same problem then I found the answer but go launcher has an email widget now that you can resize to fit your need but not sure if that will fit your needs but give it a check.

I just tried this paid one off the market and that didn't work. Seems like my IT blocks access to email with 3rd party apps. It just popped up and error message. So others probably will have that issue.
Damn, now I have to find a way to get the stock one working by deodexing it and see if that does it.
I think I found a rom with that apk deoxed,I don't know how to post an apk here but I found it in red sonja rom let me know if I can help.

nthknd THANKS!. I got it to work. AWESOME...........
I would post the APK myself but I dont want to violate any rules by posting someone elses work.

so i updated to the 4.0 leak and so far its been great but the thing that bothered me the most is the crappy EQ that comes built into google music and the fact that samsung is still using the same old crappy gallary from 2.x! so i replaced them with the stock 4.0 gallery and the DSP manager from cm9 and they work perfectly!
just use root explorer to move the 2 .apks to /system/app than reboot
oh and if you want you can disable the samsung gallery so you wont have to deal with that crappy thing
edit: so i couldn't get the stock ics camera working as a system app but you can go ahead and install it as a user app, the only problem i'm having is the video camera crashes a lot
Great thank you, I love the ICS gallery.
I was wondering also if you could find the native ICS camera app , I would love to replace the samsung one.
Thanks again

Just tried out the stock camera from my transformer on cm9 and my skyrocket went black, vibrated a lot and crashed you could try camera ics+ or w/e is called, its in the play store but its a bit laggy on mine
Edit: I'll try and get the camera from my moms atrix on cm9, I'm not giving up that easily!
Thanks, but don't bother I have several camera apps but I saw some picture of the Vanilla ICS camera app and it looked great.
to late lol
thanks, works great (except video). I really don't understand why Samsung is keeping the old version
They did the same thing when they updated the original galaxy s to gingerbread, they're just trying to get use to buy the sgs3 when it comes out :/

Thanks! will test shortly. Update: All seem to work, Some parts of the new camera app I like, others not so much, like I can't disable shutter sounds, or tell it to save to my external SD card, whats up with that? The gallery is alright, they added a nice editor with instagram like effects which is cool and easy sharing. Though they removed the contrast/brightness/saturation sliders, which I liked. Everything seems to be a give and take :/
Edit 2: The new gallery allowed me to make scrolling backgrounds work again! WOOHOO.
Any other apps from ICS worth getting? or ICS specific apps from the market?
also, maybe you'd know, anyway to theme the top notification bar to be blue like standard ICS not white/green like GB?
Can anyone get the mms apk for the messaging app?

I haven't really been working on getting more stock ics apps but I know that the movie editor works and I'm gonna try to get some more apps when I get home, BTW I'm not a themer(yet) so I can't change the status bar :/
How do I get those black and white pictures of random dots to work into something useful?
i am proud to present my 6th rom port for the heroC.
changelog:
v1
- updated to reflect henry_01's 2.7.8 port
v1-1
- added quickpic (sorry about that guys, totally forgot it)
-lowmemorykiller tweaks are now in line with roms from jordfaz and 1ceb0x
-wallpapers and sounds are now added back in
-size of apks edited some to allow for the same sized rom as v1 but with all the sounds and images put back in
to start, im not gifted enough to know how to develop, im just a lowly borrower, so if i have nothing to borrow, i have nothing to offer
also i take no responsibility for your phone crashing and burning in an epic fashion, and/or if your cat jumps off your keyboard and makes your coffee spill on your lap, or war, or famine, or disease, or anything of the sort. try at your own risk, dont bother me if your phone blows up
dont give me any credit, give the following people mad props and donate to them if you wish to:
original rom link from wfs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735773
Henry_01 for his port (link above)
ajrty33 for porting the first MIUI ICS rom
erwinp for the youtube fix
stritfajt for getting the camera working
mongoosehelix and all the crew over at the eris forums for the base rom
1ceb0x and the crew over at the hero gsm forums for the init.rc tweaks and the minfree settings in kernel
dsixda and his kitchen
matt, dastin, jaybob and the heroc crew
zeppelinrox and his v6 supercharger script
im sure i forgot people, im sorry if i did and if i forgot you please yell at me and ill make sure to thank you
this is based off of 4.0.4, MIUI v4 for the Wildfire S
what works:
touchscreen
sdcard
radio (data and calls)
adb
camera preview and taking pics
bigger keyboard, more like gb
wifi
sound
buttons
audio
root
vibration
bluetooth
zeppelinrox's supercharger script (just to supercharge launcher)
video playing from sdcard (use quickpic and .3gp video format)
minfrees set in kernel at boot time
mms hopefully
usb mass storage
themes
youtube (non hd)
try messing with camera settings in camera app, i turned down the resolution from 5 mp to 2.5 and picture taking worked quicker and looked better in my opinion
works with problems:
long press home displays large previews, not sure why just yet
other stuff im sure
what i didnt test: (lol its your jobs to test it)
pretty much everything else
when you flash this, remember i did not sign it, so if your using clockworkmod recovery toggle signature verification
i recommend you go let this boot all the way, then reboot. then after that, go into settings-developer options, and click the tick box next to:
background process limit/ at most 4 processes
show all ANRs
and make sure animations are off
i turn off all vibration, except for notifications, that includes the keyboard as haptic feedback slows things down.
then use script manager to run zeppelinrox's v6 supercharger to bulletproof launcher
this is the gapps i use from eris: http://www.mediafire.com/?qbpc1zthauh4c1h
md5sum: 2b4d664eda701da65d2ea2c5c928267d
(this is the same gapps offered over at the eris forums, i just added geniewidget as i like my news and weather widget)
go into phone app, hit menu, then settings, and check your voicemail number, im on boost so mine is my phone number
this port will not:
most likely be a finished project
win a beauty contest
make your manhood bigger
if you see something wrong, please fix it or ask me to
and now for the link before i forget:
MIUI 4.0.4v1-1
http://www.mediafire.com/?hjvpm1t1w31bqgw
if you see problems or have suggestions, please let me know. i dont know much about MIUI, as i havnt used it much since ajrty33 ported it for heroc (gb and original ics roms.) so if you see something that needs changed to better fit the mold of a good MIUI rom, please do let me know.
happy flashing!
Nice work man, Nice work indeed=}
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\=LTE
thank you again
and a new version is up, based off of 2.7.8 for the nexus s i beleive. henry_01 goes more into detail about it in the link in the op. i've noticed this one to be a tiny bit faster and now has all the google stuff baked in
edited: now should read all wallpapers and sounds added back in
try it out and let me know how i did!
Another awesome rom from you, sad that we have 2.7.8 before the incredible (switched providers recently) lol
EDIT: Ahh where's the browser? Maybe just a bad flash?

i had another user inform me that the browser and music apks were gone, but i just redownloaded and reinstalled and they are both there. i think maybe it was a bad flash lol
there are still theme issues im not sure of, im still looking into them. and i did remove the file explorer app, as most people just use es or astro anyway.
other than that it seems to be working fine on my end.

Try making /data/system/theme.
Some of the theme issues are probably hdpi/mdpi issues

Whew, glad there isn't an issue with the browser. I'll redownload then, see if that helps, because I do have the music apk. Might want to take a look at the xda build of the miui file explorer, it has root and a bunch of other goodies, that's what I'm using on my incredible atm, looks great and works great too.
K ill take a look at the Miui file browser.
And this is an hdpi rom according to the contents of the apks. It came from the nexus s I believe so that could explain alot.

It's probably just me but I'm having root issues on this ROM. I have Superuser downloaded. I even flashed the su 3.0.7 zip (Latest SU zip I'm aware of) I'm rooted obviously or else I wouldn't be here. It's just on this ROM. I tried reflashing this 3 times. Other than that, it's a really great ROM. It runs very smoothly.
Sorry about the su issues, but I think its the way that miui implements su that gives us headaches. In settings somewhere, there should be an option for root access I'm just not sure where it is. I'll look into it.

Yeah I've look at the system settings and unless it's under a different name, I don't see anything that deals with root access.
so here it goes guys. im out of the game for now. expect no new updates on the ics roms i have ported before. jb is the future, and shelnutt is the guy to get us into the future. ics roms never quite ran great anyway, so no big loss. i may pop back up in the future and throw down on some jb paranoidandroid, aokp, miui, or anything of the such, but i cannot guaruntee a thing. its been nice, but support for these roms stops here. (unless of course, anyone else would like to take these over for me, or i can get the guys from gsm hero using my allinone installer full time, then heroc will have everything they get)
if anyone would like to take over, please message me. ill be more than willing to send everything your way, since im way too busy with life in general right now.
Anyone know why I cant download a bunch of apps they say not compatible with my device im on stock ging 2.3.4 like five apps I use to have on my phone say this anything I can do to fix?

Go down to Additional Information for each app (if it doesn't show on mobile, revert to a computer) and find out what android version you need. Many require 4.0 these days (hence the coining of the term "ginger-death").
If sticking with this device, you may be ROM'ing after all. I would suggest starting with TBaldens CM 10.1. GimmeABreak also looks nice. If all you need is 4.0, then I would recommend CM9 (although I never used it, Sverhagens 9.1 version sounds more improved than the official).
Dam so this phone will be useless cuz most apps wont work I just kept it to for the camera had a baby so takes great pics and videos and awesome camera adjustment video settings any new roms that have the same settings?

None I've tested, may want to do your research on them to see which works best for you.
Alternatively, you can do what I've done, and install CM anyway, and use a third party camera app -> Ultra Camera (theres a few, but UCam has a free version). Works well. You can see if you like it by installing the camera app now (supports Android 2.2 and up) and trying it out, taking comparison shots. Note that you will have to tweak the settings a little...when I installed it, it took 6MP pictures, where I have since scaled it up to the proper 8MP.
Hope this helps.
