Camera problem :(

Hi guys..
m kinda new here in the forum..
i recently flashed my milestone to cynogenmod 7..
im having issues with the camera..
it always crashes every time i take a picture.. and it starts to hang and then reboot..
i tried different camera apps from google play.. still.. crashes and reboots..
and if i use the flash..
after i press the camera button to take the picture..
it keeps on flashing and flashing and then reboot follows..
any idea about the cause of this??

Did you use any script or optimization, or change any memory parameter? Also: did you try with an empty SD card?

Try using SD Speed Increase to set the cache size between 1024 and 2048 kb. I had the same problem, but now have mine set to 1024kb and no longer have this problem.

Class 2 SD Card might be the reason for this. Try to remove or change another sd card and see if it is better.

i gave up fixing my 1st milestone.. i decided to get it back to eclair.. even froyo 2.2.1 manifest same problem..
thanks for giving me some ideas on how to deal with it..
i did the abovementioned instruction..
i empty the SD card... and i think its not the SD card.. my SD card is from lenovo.. and i believe it would not be falling as class 2 SD card..
im thinking and convinced it must be hardware problem..

Damaged Phone Memory

I recently downgraded to gingerbread , everything went well thanks to xbsall's new rebooter tool.
I booted and when i came to the home screen i came across an error which said "Damaged Phone Memory".
I first ignored it and went on but when i installed ez file explorer , it says no sd card mounted or nonexistent.
I can't seem to download anything (No sd card error again) except apps which install at system's partition.
Anyone have this error ?
Edit : When i return to ICS it all goes away.
I also realized my old stuff is still around. (That's odd because i thought due to the change in size in partitions it formatted the sdcard. It's actually more odd because i manually formatted it.)
I wiped data/factory reset.
Wiped dalvik cache wiped everything.
Formatted Sdcard. (Apparently it doesn't recognize my sdcard so this format may not count...)
No luck so far.

Pretty sure you just need to reformat/erase the sd card from the menu.

When you downgrade from xbsall's ICS port with v21e it will always show damaged phone memory. All you have to do is flash your countries stock ROM. There is a thread somewhere for the download links. Just look for them then unzip the .bin and .fls files then flash them as you did to up/down grade.

Will try the next time i'm not lazy...
Thanks for the help guys.
Will ask xbsall to include this in his repair guide.

Format sdcard from ROM settings

Factory reset in the main menu if it's the internal storage. It's normally due to the fact that the SD and/or other storage areas are formatted as EXT4, something GB can't handle seemingly.

InternalSDcard partition allocates different memmory blocks in my Ported SU760 ICS than those of original P920 Gingerbread thats why you need to reformat when you get back to Gingerbread.
Both in ICS and GB it is in FAT format.

Is factory reset from clockwork any different from the original ? If no i did a factory reset at clockwork but it didn't work...

I said format internal SD from your ROM settings.
Boot into ROM go to settings, storage and FORMAT internalSD

I asked it in accordance to what Devion said.
Sorry forgot to quote...

Can't I recover files if i not update back to ICS? no other way? I need this files...

I had this exact same issue, and when pressed app menu, i only had the 3D apps, (couldnt even go to settings),
What i did was; on main screen pressed left capacitive button to get to settings and did a factory reset.

just downgraded and had 0 internal memory but after factory reset I now have 0.89 gb internal memory (not internal sd) is it supposed to be this only? I had the impression it was around 2 gigs?
btw I got stock v21E nothing uninstalled

Nothing is damaged just format the memory from the menu and it will be fine (might need a rebooting as well, can't remember)

had already formatted and done a factory reset. Now my question is apart from internal sd which gives me about 5.5 gig i get a mere 0.89 gig of internal ram. Is it supposed to be that only or more? Again I had the impression that it was supposed to be around 2 gig internal memory (i.e reserved for app installation). Stock v21E nothing installed and nothing removed.

what you got is right.
I had the same issue of "damaged internal memory". Factory reset helped.
Its only 1GB internal.
Please click on thanks if you think I helped.

DID you succeed, cuz i've the same pb but my phone is a P925 not the P920
And all the advises here don't work for me
In fact GB V21e bootloader and rebooter in xbsall doesn't succeed in booting my phone after downgrade so I went back to ICS bootloader wich boot but end up with this memory problem. No formating/factory reset from romor even from recovery work for me. Perharp your v21e is not suitable for LG P925 ??!!
Any suggestions

Internal storage missing with orthus 8

Have had orthus ROM on my phone sense ver 1. Had 7 on there recently no issues, finally ver 8 comes out and now I have internal storage USB mount issues. Its not showing up. Its not were the system files go , but were the programs go. The system storage and SD card show up in the settings/storage and I have no idea how to fix the issue.

I'm not sure I understand your problem. I'm on ver 8 and don't have any problems with the files. They're all where they should be. Are you using a file manager to locate the files?
What was the best thing before sliced bread?

im saying the internal memory were all the program files, not the system files go... the internal 8gb mount is missing... like it doesnt even show up. i tried to install some programs but cant because its saying theres no SD card installed.. I've formatted 3 times, tired reinstalling the rom 4 times, fixed permissions 4 times, and did factory reset 3 times. did the clean dalvix (spelling) 5 times with no success. i dont know what to do. even tried going back to orthus 7 with no help. even contacted mindmajick and he didnt know.

If I understand, what normally shows up as sdcard on your internal isn't there anymore. Idk either. You could try a different rom or you might have to odin back to stock and start over.

On the skyrocket, you have internal memory (were the system files goes) then you have a internal SD memory, then you have external SD memory, my internal SD is missing.

Flash back to stock and see if it picks it up. If not it's very possible that your memory failed. Warranty with Samsung would be your only option if that's the case.

so flash all the way back to stock and not be rooted?

Yes. If it picks it up from there build back up. If it doesn't your internal is hosed.

Figured it out. When I reboot, I have to take my SD card out let the ROM load then insert it back in. With the card in, the phone wasn't registering the internal SD memory.

[Q] Help me revive LG Optimus L9 P760

Hello guys.
I just bought a brand new LG P760 (aka Optimus L90 , firmware 4.1.2. I have rooted it with Cydia Impactor. So far so good. I wanted to make my device install as default on SD card, so I started playing with Aparted from Google Play Store. I dont know exactly what I did, but i can tell you that I have attached 2 pics with the menu that I have interacted with. I made 2 partitions, PART: 1 has size of 1500 MB, PART: 2 has size of ~12000MB. I used ADB to make SDCard default storage device (db shell pm setInstallLocation 2) the restarted. After it has restarted, I tried to install something big from the Store, but it said that I had insuficient space. I tried to reverse PART1 with PART2, replace sizes I mean, but when I tried to delete PART2 it said that it is in use and I could not. After that, I started playing with the /dev/block/mmcblk0 and mmcblk1m, without knowing what they do. I tried to restart the device and... poof. It didn't. It is dead now. I tried all combinations of keys. The device is detected in windows as OMAP4430. I tried fastboot, it said ok but...it did not start. It doesn't start anymore. I have attached 2 pics with the program...
PLEASE HELP ME.

Just to clear up everything, is it your SD card that has been partitioned? And can you get to recovery at all?

Yes, it was my SD card that has been partitioned. I wanted to be able to install directly to it. It didn't work too well so I started messing up with those setting Aparted soft has... If it matters, it is a GoodRam 16GB Class 10.

That's a pretty good SD card xD have you tried placing you card into a pc!/ laptop card reader and formating completely, removing the partitions, formating again then re doing the partitions an installing on to SD.... May I also ask why you decided to do this?

Well...i tried, but had no luck. The reason ) is that wanted to install apps directly on SD card from the store, but in order to do so, i needed two partitions on the SD card, one smaller and one larger, the probles was that I made the smaller one bigger, and the bigger one smaller and needed to swap them, but one of them was is use, by the OS i presume, but i had flyies into my had and did ugly stuf...

Ahh right! Now that sucks, sorry I honestly wouldn't know what to suggest to you, maybe someone else could help ?

Problems after Rebooting

After doing a hard reboot, there is a 50% chance the phone will soft reboot again within 5 minutes if I don't clear the cache/dalvik. After doing a soft reboot, my SD card is not recognized and then I have to hard reboot... You see my problem. Do you have any suggestions on what to do so I don't have to clear my cache/dalvik every time I need to reboot? Thanks!
I am running CM 13 Nightlies

Try to reboot your Phone without your SD Card. Maybe your SD is faulty. If your Phone is working ok without SD, then Backup your Data on your SD in PC, format it to FAT32 and try again to reboot with SD Card.

Sorry I forgot to mention Im using my SD card as adoptable storage. Am I able to still format is as FAT32 and also use it as adoptable?

You can still try rebooting your phone without the SD card to test it. Some of the apps may not appear but that's about it. Be sure and turn your phone off before removing or inserting the SD card. I would suggest using the phone to change the card back to a removable media card before putting it in the PC to format.

Just a few questions before I do anything. Will reformating my SD card wipe all its data? Can a FAT32 formatted SD card be used as adoptable storage? Will a FAT32 formatted card be able to have a swapfile on it? I use a ram expander

Yes, formatting the SD card will wipe all data on the card.
No, a FAT32 card cannot be used as adopted storage, only a card adopted by the device can be, that process formats the file system as an encrypted ext4 system.
Maybe, but I'm not sure Android normally use a swap file, so you might have to make some manual changes which would be overwritten every time you flash a nightly build.
TBH, the RAM Expander is probably your whole problem, the low processing power and I/O speeds of the device plus using an SD card are probably causing delayed writes and extreme lag and cache corruption. You should have at least a UHS3 card, even then I would suspect the RAM Expander is the root cause of your problems.

Ive had this rebooting problem shortly after i flashed CM and didnt get the ram expander for a few weeks after that. Ideally, I wouldnt have to flash another ROM.

Try another rom then... CM is hardly the only option, and some devices do better with different ROMs.
Otherwise, give us something concrete like a logcat or something.

Ok I'll upload a logcat as soon as I get it to break again.

Here is a logcat I got. I'm not sure if I caught the first failed reboot but it soft rebooted a good 3-4 times so hopefully there's something worth looking at. Thanks for your help!
BTW - it's in a zip because it's exceeds the file limitations for .txt files on xda.

I did a quick glance though the file, I'm at work and will look through it more later, but two things stuck out to me... there seems to be a lot of package errors, and the theme is not happy.
When is the last time you did a clean install, and then reinstalled your apps from the Play Store (not restored from TB or similar app)? Also, does the problem still occur when you use default theme?

I did a clean install about a week ago (and reinstalled my apps from the Play Store). I haven't tried it with the default theme but I can do that this afternoon.

Just rebooted with the default theme and it booted up fine but then i rebooted with my previous theme and it also booted up ok so basically idk if its the theme yet.
Sent from my MotoG3 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Update: Im fairly certain it was the theme now. I have since replaced it and my phone is much more stable. Thanks for your help! Now whenever I reboot, it will probably soft reboot once and then it works fine.
