I was having random restarts with my Collective 4.1 ROM, so I decided to install Avatar 2.8b 0426 release.
Now the restarts are fixed and I'm running 4.2, so I think I'll be keeping the ROM. However, the one problem I have found is that the camera doesn't work. I get a "Camera error" that says:Can't connect to the camera, at which point I press ok and the app crashes.
::EDIT::
After following the setup procedure a 3rd time, the camera is functioning again. After letting it settle over night and testing it this morning, so far the ROM feels very snappy and stable with all features working.

Hi,
I tried to install Oxygen ROM 2.3.2 - Saga for HTC Desire S - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235864 - but my camera is not working properly.
The camera is supposed to show you a preview of what the camera is pointing at, updated real time - basically you are looking through the camera when you are pointing at things - but in my case the view gets stuck on first thing that the camera is pointing at when I turn it on... sometimes it updates the view after couple of seconds but it is so fitful that the camera is not usable.
When I try to switch to camcorder there is the same problem and when I try to make some video it is fitful... and when I watch the video it seems to be stuck for couple of seconds, than it moves a little and again it's stuck for another five seconds (so it's not just the preview, the real video produced by the camera is affected ass well).
I tried full wipe, I tried that ROM with or without Tiamat kernel - no change, I erased SD card, I erased everything and when I try the camera on clean new install of that ROM - it is not working.
I restored original factory build that comes with HTC Desire S and camera worked perfectly - but I would really love to use that Oxygen ROM - it's great and except for the camera it works perfectly... so much better then the original HTC thing.
I noticed that in the thread related to that ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235864 there are messages where people mention that camera is working OK for them - please, do you have any idea what might be the problem? Any help would be really appreciated.
Thank you,
Jan

Hi,
Since last week my camera didn't work well anymore. I used to have no problems but since somewhere last week, my camera would crash my whole phone upon starting. This was with ARHD 6.6.4. Then I flashed 6.6.7, and the problem was still present. So I cleared cache and app data, and still, no working camera.
Yesterday I flashed OrDroid 9.0.0, hoping this would clear the problem, but it didn't. When I click the camera-app (camcorder as well) my phone hangs, and about a minute later reboots itself. When clicking main camera in Z-devicetest the same happens. Using the mirror-app, my phone keeps working and gives a clear image from the front camera.
Any advices?
Well, today my camera worked several times... But I cannot get it running again. I tried lots of different things, wifi on/off, airplane mode on/off, bt on/off, full battery, on wall charger...
I'm afraid it might be a hardware malfunction. Can anybody give some advice?
I used to have a camera problem it used to crash when I opened it. Someone told me to uncheck face detection on the camera settings and it worked. You can try that

I don't think it's a Rom issue, did you uncheck face detection ? If it's the Rom that should do the trick. I'm running ordroid 9.0.0 and I have no problems with the camera. Make sure you uncheck face detection, if it's still giving you trouble it could be a different issue. Check your settings. Could be a problem in settings. This is known to happen if face detection is on. So uncheck it and let us know if that did the trick. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

Well, I thought I found it, but it wasn't the battery. When the batt is full, or nearly full, I haven't had any problems, but when ~<80% my phone just crashes and hangs or reboots...
I did uncheck face recognition and geotagging when it worked, but this hasn't fixed anything.
Are you on a custom kernel or not? I have experienced flashing different roms affects the camera as well.

Same issue on several different ROMS (Sense and Senseless). Camera will work for a while then freeze and crash to the home screen OR occasionally crash and reboot. This also happens with other camera apps, not just the stock app. If I don't find a solution soon I am going back to the stock ROM.

Just as sudden as the problems appeared, they disappeared... The camera functioned for about 2/3 weeks without any problems, but now last week, all of a sudden, it started crashing my phone again whenever I start the camera app...
I recently installed the JellyBelly ROM v.3 (CM10) on my EVO Shift. I really appreciate the work that the devs are doing on this ROM. I am posting some bugs I encountered after running the ROM for a day. I hope this info helps make the ROM more stable and polished for the entire community. This is my way of giving back right now. Thanks for all the hard work guys!
Green Box During Boot Screen Bug - During boot the HTC screen with white background is displayed for a few seconds, then the boot animation appears. During the transition between the HTC screen and boot animation you can see the HTC screen turns into a green box and fills the upper 30% of the display for a second or two prior to the boot animation starting. This is not a critical bug, yet it may point to a larger underlying video issue in the system. If nothing else, it could give a poor first impression about the ROM quality due to graphic glitches.
Random Screen Freeze/SOD Bug - For no apparent reason the device would lock up and refuse to respond to touch input or pressing the power button. I was forced to remove the battery several times in order to reboot the device. I was unable to establish exactly what caused the lock up, but I was curious if the CPU settings and clock settings might be to blame?
Camera Green Line Bug - After I took a couple pictures I reviewed them in the Gallery app. I immediately noticed that my pictures all had a green line down the left side. I thought that perhaps the stock Camera app was to blame so I installed CameraZoom, a third party camera app as a replacement to the stock Camera app. The result was that the entire upper half of the images taken with CameraZoom app were solid green. I'm not sure if the driver or the app is to blame for this experience.
Facebook App Crash Bug - The Facebook app refused to launch without crashing for me.
I want to run this ROM as my primary ROM, but these issues, except for the Boot Screen Bug, are show stoppers for me. Keep up the great work. I look forward to version 4!
The boot animation thing happens even when there is no boot animation... All the others I have fixed except Facebook, working on that at the moment. Once that is fixed v4 will be up... Facebook seems to be taking up way more RAM than it should The camera line is caused by the 4.2 camera, I took it out and replaced it with 4.1 camera. BTW I got your message, but was unable to respond to it.
Been running this since V2 came out and have seen your issues as well. When the screen locks up I just wait for a minute or so and the current app stops and doesn't require battery pull. Can't wait for those fixes.

Thanks for the info. What was causing the phone to stop responding to input and how did you fix it? Also, do you have a complete list of outstanding bugs that have been reported so far?

Actually you got all the bugs reported except Netflix... I got Facebook working, but now wifi won't turn on
The main issue with JB on the Shift IMO is RAM dispersion, which is mainly what I am working on.
Great info! Also meant to ask, why are there two flashlight applications installed? Why is Flipboard installed by default? Seems like Flipboard is kind of an odd default app.
Because it is a work in progress (I was testing them and forgot to remove one), and flipboard works better than Facebook

Yes, but you'll soon have those issues fixed I'm sure. Looking forward to v4.

Got Facebook fixed, but I don't like how much performance I am having to give up to keep it from crashing... I'm hoping there is a perfect median, I just haven't found it yet. I have noticed quite a bit of difference between launchers also. This is my first dive into JB, so it's been a learning process. Got one more thing to try tonight.
I have had issues with the keyboard. on V3 Im not sure how it will work out with the V4. In most cases i would have to hold the . Shift button instead of just tapping it one to cap a letter. and then it resumes to lower case letters. ive also had to Hold FN to Create symbols instead of tapping just once. to make that symbol. over all it is a great rom i do have by far great expectations of it . i will re-flash once. some of those kinks are out such as the green line on the photos. as far as 4g goes i can careless about it considering the fact that i have no 4g in my local area .
As far as FB Goes i never use it ( Its a relationship killer ) xD
None the less keep up the great work on Deving the Rom .
I look forward to future updates. and maybe a keyboard fix. where it was like originally having it .
( Also random Closing of the browser . Ive had a few on V3 . But as i said im not sure what V4 will have in store for me. )
v4 is up and most of said bugs have been eliminated:sly:
You can post any v4 issues here if you change the title of the thread.
Camera stopped working on AOSP roms. Flashed a new version of PacMan which I've been running for weeks, and camera suddenly stops. Won't work on any AOSP rom. Flashed back to TW momentarily, and it works fine however.
I've tried:
Numerous clean installs
Fixing permissions
Clearing gallery data
Re-installed newest baseband
Half the time I get a "Cannot Connect to Camera" error, and half the time I can appear to take one picture and then the device goes black and/or freezes.
Any ideas for a fix???? I've got a 1 year old, so the camera is not really optional for me at this time. Never had so many problems on a phone that couldn't be resolved with a clean flash, making me miss my trusty Gnex and almost starting to regret this phone. Thanks in advance!
Fixed... Odin back to stock and re-rooted.
When lollipop builds were first released for the one, there were tons of bugs. Since then much of them have been cleaned up. I've had two consistent problems, through at least 4 different roms.
1) recording video, and you hit stop. It doesnt stop, it just hangs and keeps recording until you force close and lose your recording. It doesnt appear to be happening in this rom however. So this is solved.
2) The current issue I'm having is that no matter which lollipop rom I use, if I try and take video using the built in camera, it shows heavy people static and can't take the video. I have multirom recovery installed, but I'm only using the primary rom. And I've now switched to AK kernel thinking maybe it was a kernel issue... But to no avail.
Anyone have any tips? I'm at wits end. Only happens with instagram.
Currently running a fresh install of darkobass, with ak kernel...
But it's also happened on CR droid, 2 of the first cm12 daily builds that released, blisspop, and on paranoid android that I just tried before darko.
