desire S problems with all custom firmware!

I have a problem with the camera and video hardware to all custom firmware which are based on cyanogenmod kernel. Camera work but does not move and hardware video on player don*t move. On firmware are based on stock all right work. I've tried everything hboot and recovery but result is the same. Install Miui 2.1.6.08 then install kernel UNITY_V9_2.6.35.14 is the only variant when camera well works but hardware video does not work at all. I hope to help developers!

i hope someone could take a look at this and lend a hand. i've got the same problem with my Desire S. Used both MIUI 1.12.30 and then Reaper v1.1, both really good ROMs except for the video playback problem. It does the same when trying to take pictures, the camera preview window would freeze after a couple of seconds but pictures come out ok. same thing when viewing videos through browser or when i try to watch a video file saved in the sd card, video freezes after couple of seconds but audio is totally normal.

yep yep! and what I say

I have the same model as yours..... Go to settings -> the very last tab (phone settings) => system updates => refresh......... w8 and a pop up will appear accept and you will be on 4.1.1 after a short 144mb download!
PS: I would recommend you to stay at ICS because 4.1.1 does not posses many features however it will eat ur ram like hell on average u would have 70-100mb free....... and games will lag a lot!

It looks like you're using a custom ROM so the update option isn't showing up. You must be on stock ICS to take the OTA update to JB.

You are on AOKP ROM and not custom ROM.
You can install Stock OS using factory images
OR
Install custom ROMs like CyanogenMod, AOKP or SlimBean (Personal favorite).
You'll find the tutorials in the development thread.

Even official android has some bugs. The closest to bug-free JB rom I used was Strawberry ROM coupled with matr1x kernel.

There is no Custom ROM without any bugs. Even stock ROMs will have some bugs.
The reliable custom ROMs are CyanogenMod, AOKP, SlimBean etc etc
You can choose any of them and I'm sure you'll not be disappointed.

So far this is the most stable rom i found for nexus s the latest release of AOSP JellyBean 4.1.2
But if you want something more up to date wait for the next release of AOSP KitKat it will be a great daily driver

If you already have a custom rom on your device you already have a custom recovery on it
First step update it via rom manager from playstore or manually flash the latest one from here
Then go to recovery and
-Wipe Data Factory Reset
-Wipe Cash
-Advance Settings>Wipe dalvik cash
Then Install from recovery rom and gapps
-Reboot and then install Superuser for root
And final only if you need i added a filemanager in attachment that you can flash from recovery because the rom don't has one or you could download one from play store

Also if you want even better performance you could try Air Kernel#350
It has more features than stock kernel and more free RAM

we got the same phone.

A kernel is the core of android but for more information just google it
To install just flash it like you flashed the rom and whipe cashe and dalvik
You will notice a better performance and also a better headphone sound thanks to voodoo sound mod(a kernel audio driver)

[Q] Is there any point in trying to get AOSP 4.3.1 working on the Chacha??

It seems that KitKat requires an ARMV7 processor to work.
There is already a project of porting KitKat to ARMV6 processors.
I'm trying up to my knowledge to port AOSP to ChaCha by adapting 4.3.1_r1, but...
Is this wasted time or work??
Thanks for your opinions.

It's better that u work on CM 10.1 to remove all of bugs and make it stable instead of searching for solution to make an 4.3 ASOP ROM for chacha...

It would be nice to have ANY finished CM rom. Problem is with each new release the last gets forgotten before it's finished. I've got a de-sensed stock rom to share if anyones interested? Cant post a link till I get post count over 10!

As I said ANY vesrsion. The only fully working roms are the stock (not CM) Gingerbread ones and even that has a major issue with the dialler bug. I loved and had high hopes for CM9 when I first tried it but there has been no update in 18 months! These roms never get finished because the next android version comes along and interest moves to that before the previous is finished. I've tried them all and get too annoyed with the bugs so myself use stock based roms specifically Hexgores as a starting point for my own rom.

The rom I use is based on the stock HTC 2.3.5 Gingerbread rom, Hexgores rom is on the main Chacha rom listing page which is a slightly de-bloated version of stock and my rom is a further de-bloated, de-sensed and tweaked version of that. My rom is great on battery life and everything works as it should e.g wifi, bluetooth, both cameras and so on.

So, no dialer bug at all? What dialer and launcher are you using?? Standard?

I didn't say it had no dialler bug but has other tweaks that help with power usage. Using Holo launcher but at least everything works as it should unlike any currently available non-stock based rom. If efforts get diverted from JellyBean to KitKat roms then we will never get a finished decent CM rom.

Reccommended ROM?

Im switching to android and ill be geting an old Z3, im thinking its best if i use custom ROMs as it doesnt get updated anymore, i looked at lineage os but which ROM would you recommend?

Carbon rom / omni rom

I can fully recommend carbon rom with weekly updates. Also omnirom wich is similar.
Rock solid performance with carbon, very few bugs. Stable!

Nope those are broken.

wouldn't mind trying out carbon Rom my self but can't get it too flash in twrp

I recomning Omni it lives on the better edge even some parts are a bit out of date, but in return it have better drivers and better kernel.

does any of the stock roms work anymore as ive been trying to boot a few but never boot up just stops on the boot animation

Bootloader
i checked by dialing that weird number in the phone app and it says i have a locked bootloader, can i still root it?

Yes you can still root your phone without unlocking bootloader.

Is there a Custom ROM with Working Stock MIUI Camera and Gallery?

Been using Xiaomi.eu since unlocking my bootloader, but i really like stock/vanilla Android interfaces. Is there a Custom ROM with Working Stock MIUI Camera and Gallery? i think stock MIUI Camera and Gallery are the only parts of MIUI that i miss when using custom ROM. Appreciate the feedback!

look for custom ROMs with preinstalled ANX camera, but I doubt that there is on also with MIUI gallery...
