hey guys,
I rooted my friends sgs2 and couldn't get two things to work. the portable WiFi hotspot keeps getting an error when i try to click on the check-mark. the second one is the video camera doesn't work. he's running the cm7 (not nightly) is there a ROM that has a working video cam?
thanks
I'm also running CM7 (not nightly). I believe the exact rom I flashed was from this thread (update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-Galaxys2ATT) and the video camera works fine. I just tested to confirm, I was able to record video with both front AND back cameras.
That said, I've heard that CM7 doesn't support 1080p video recording even when the camera IS working.

Could someone help me make informative choice? It looks like cm 7.03 is the best as of now (2 weeks of forum reading ).
Please confirm some questions about cm 7.03 ?
Do both speakers work correct and support stereo as original build?
Does light sensor worked appropriately?
Does camera work?
Volume and soft home buttons fully supported?
G sensor fully supported?
Does anyone tried Skype videocall / voice call? Doest work?
Does YouTube works well?
I know about HD decoding issue but what it means for video playback? Does it play 1080p? Does it playback 720p? Max video file size? Does it play video files at all?
camera is pixelated

Everything you mention above is fine EXCEPT video/picture taking. You can take pictures with the "camera fun free", and video is okay with Oovoo and Yahoo (Skype doesn't support video, and probably never will now that M$ bought it).
They above "work", but are always rotated 90%. ALWAYS. I tried some fixes (sensor fix, etc), but nothing worked (or it broke something else). Since the girlfriend needs this tablet for her trip to Europe (so she can call home), I settled (after MANY roms) on Calkulin's G-Tab v1.1 and pershoot's latest kernel. I have usable video and picture taking abilities, and it's damn snappy. Sure it's no CM (I have it on my G1 and Nook Color and love it!), but for someone who needs things just to work, that's the best bet.
Using Oovoo, Yahoo, and Reelportal for video chatting...
Default camera for pictures...
I'm using VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition v7.1.0 which is supposed "Not" to have camcoder functions. But it appears last night while showing a friend not only did I record a video but it actually automatically uploaded to my G+ account. (it was only about 4 seconds long but it worked )
Has anyone else using this rom been able to record videos?
VT has camera. I just moved off of 7.0.0 and it had camera. GB roms have cam afaik, although it sucks. HC roms do not.
I have been using both neobuddy's and i9000 port versions, V6 and 2.5 beta, but my ffc is not working properly.
The symptoms are:
When i open up a camera app, rear camera is just fine, but the ffc is elongated, and if i take a picture, it only saves a blank grey image and the gallery cannot open the image as well.
I tried MIUI and it was all good, but I desire ICS, thanks for neobuddy and guys doing the wonderful work! but i just wish i could make a use of my ffc.
What could i do to make it work? is it the kernel problem?
Thanks in advance for your responses!!
I noticed the exact same things too. No wonder face unlock didn't work heh.
Might be kernel prob but maybe camera files since Video record doesn't work either.
I just flashed it on my Droid X2 and it works fine except for the camera. I understand that's its a build off CM9 that has the same problem is there a way to fix it?
camera (like as in taking pics) or camcorder (as in taking video) ?if you mean video,use video cam illusions (play store app) thats the only way to get videos working . atleast for the ics version of miui
basically I got a second hand samsung galaxy s2 recently.
Everytime I load it up it says camera fail.
I can't use instagram or snapchat.
When I make a video or a non video call on skype it cuts out straight away.
However I can record and send videos on skype (so assumably the front camera is ok?)
is there anyway to set the instagram/snapchat cameras to front camera so that I can use them the same way that the skype video works.
I am running cyanogen mod 10.2
issue was present before rooting.

try camera in stock ROM .. if it works... problem is in ROM.... then factory reset your phone and test again..if still didn't work try different kernel .. ask from OP thread of CM 10.2
