Milestone x2 MIUI Camcorder - Motorola Droid X2

I have been running MIUI on an x2 for a few days and I went to use my Camcorder and it crashes. I tried several different ones and it just keeps failing. It starts to record and then does a FC. I downloaded different cameras and they do the same thing. I even tried some different once through downloading the Apks from this device and from the Atrix.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Probably a silly question but did u manually do a reboot, or go into applications and clear the catch and data. Also when you installed the miui did u do the three wipes first?

Lol good question. I have done these. I can try to reflash it?

Lol, sorry if that was obvious but I know I usually over look the easy stuff. I have only ever had these problems when I didn't wipe the data and catch after I flashed

I am going to try to do that. Thank you for trying though.

No prob hope u get it

From what I have been able to read its something to do with permission settings for the camcorder. If I can just get help how to change this to the proper settings that would be great!!

This is a bug that has been with the rom since the beginning.
I hope you find a workaround.
If you follow Aceoyame on twitter you can see his progress on the next release based on Dragonkillerz work on cm9. Some are saying this summer, just in time to take some video

lol, Yeah from what I have been reading I think its about the permissions. But I am trying to figure out exactly what file.

I wanted to give an update. Talked with Ace and he said there will be an update out to fix this sometime in the next week. Great news!

That is great news. Good on ya mate.

I got tired of the camcorder not working and wanted to switch roms.
To make a long story short, I am back on MIUI beta and the camcorder seems to be...
working now!
What I did (or what I can remember I did, because you know how it goes SBF'ing, flashing roms, and clearing caches over and over again)
Booted into BSR and made back-up of the MIUI setup I was running (with camcorder not working)
SBF'd to 2.3.4 kernel factory reset / cleared cache and dalvik cache
*did not root yet*
rebooted into stock recovery and flashed 2.3.5 kernel.
Then did Zerg Rush Root method.
Installed BSR(not the cm7 version) the original.
Booted into BSR and factory reset / cleared cache and dalvik again...
Flashed Eclipse 2.2 custom rom.
Booted into op system / skipped everything / got to homescreen checked wifi to see error when trying to toggle on/off.
Got pissed, took a drink of a nice northwest local IPA and said Im going back to MIUI and Im doing it with 2.3.5 kernel installed.
This is where I got a little fuzzy... but I think this is what I did...
Did a operating system factory reset (just internal sd card)
Booted back into op system I think I had to re-install BSR (original)
Booted into BSR and restored my latest backed up MIUI.
When I got back to MIUI I noticed WIFI was working and when I went to Camera APP switched to video it didnt FC.
Instead it recorded a 25 second video with no problems. I have been playing with it ever since with no problems.
I hope this may help you in your quest to get camcorder in MIUI.

having problems...

I'm having probelms after flashing the supra ROM for the second time. It won't let me post on the thread so I don't know where else to post. It all worked perfect the first time, but now after installing about half my apps it won't install anymore because it says there's no room even though I have 603 MB free. Any idea on how to fix this? It worked fine the first time, I switched to another ROM and wanted to switch back, and then I wiped everything and then reinstalled. Tried twice but same problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Have you tried a full wipe before reinstalling?? If you think that you may want to go back to a rom you should do a nand backup before installing the new rom that way all you have to do is restore the nand.
Yeah I did a full wipe
This happened to me too, on the first install. I just flashed a different ROM
Did it work ok when you flashed it back to supra?
I flashed back to Chogardjr3D and it worked fine. I just tried SteelROM, and it did the same thing. I would love to find out why this is happening. Makes no sense to me
me neither
This was happening to me on every ROM I flashed. I think it has something to do with Google syncing back apps after a clean install. I disabled the Google backup and restore and now all seems to be fine. Again, not sure this is the exact problem. Could just be coincidence.

[Q] All soft buttons stopped working on CM7

I installed Cyanogenmod 7 a week ago, and everything was pretty much working fine.
Randomly today, all 4 of the soft buttons stopped working in the middle of me using my phone. I believe I was checking scores on an NFL app. Regardless, reapplying the CM7 zip didn't fix it. I tried factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. Nothing.
Decided to try to reroot. Reapplied ED05, which is what I did before I installed CM7. Got back to essentially factory... soft buttons still don't work. Reinstalled CM7... took, but soft buttons won't work.
I thought I read somewhere that this is an issue with gapps, but I can't seem to find that page or people discussing it again. Installing gapps again didn't work.
I'm willing to get my phone back to it's most basic level, and even erase the SD card if I need to, but not sure how to clear my phone moreso than my reverting back to ED05.
Thanks for your input guys.
Also, I had reinstalled my apps using Titanium, but not the app data. Again, everything was just fine for a week.
Also, having done a bunch of flashing and what not, I dont' know what happened, but now when I long press the power button, the menu comes up. When I try to use volume up/down to navigate to power off, all I get is volume going up and down
So, i know this thread is sort of dead, but this happened to my fascinate a while back with a version of CM7 mtd (55 maybe?)... I'm fairly convinced that the sensors for the buttons (and the lights for that matter) are completely shot, but I can't really test that. I have flashed back to stock, re-rooted it,and done everything I can think of to fix it.
You probably messed the phone up for good... my advice (if you haven't already done it): get a new phone.
I've noticed that when I revert back to stock ED05, and flash CM7 on top of that, it doesn't work right. minor to major glitches appear...
What i did was flash back to stock ED05, then ran the update to Gingerbread EH03... Then flashed CM7 with Glitch v13 kernel. seemed to fix a lot of my issues.
idk if this helps or it's just a flook, but just sayin...
Will try this out

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm having the same issues as the OP with failing soft keys after flashing through CM7 to an android 4.1 based ROM, Paranoid Android. Is the Glitch kernel built into Cyanogenmod 7 or did you load it separately?

If you are already on ICS just wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash. If not just flash up to ICS and flash kernel with ROM (same cwm session). You may want to do some reading in that thread first to make sure you get right version for your ROM.

[Q] I need assistance- Anyone with the wifi's?

Hello,
I was using a CM7 ROM on my atrix, and I took the proper steps to install Nottach's ROM (Meaning, cache, data, system were wiped). I was happy with Nottach's ROM, and with Blur (gasp). But, I wanted to try out CM9. I flashed it, and camera didn't work, so I tried AOKP. Everything worked, except for a little bit of beta instability. I made a few system changes (ICS only- sleep policy, data connectivity, simple stuff), and defaulted to the internal SD card. I decided I didn't like ICS like I though I would, so I wiped and restored my backup. now, I'm stuck with non-working wifi and bluetooth. Also, the phone is rebooting at every turn. Hardly usable. Any suggestions? I have compeltely wiped the internal and external card, system, dalvik, cache, data, etc. I also tried the 2.3.4 fruitcake CWM .zip. no better. My phone went out of warrenty last week, literally 5 days ago. motorola is no help, and neither is AT&T because I am not a contract customer- I'm using it on straight talk.

If you have a look at Nottachtrix thread. A lot of people are having problem with wifi because of the latest faux kernel. Try doing a fastboot erase of everything including boot and then installing the fruit cake.
You can have a quick look at how to fast boot erase in the general section. Try search functionality.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
I would also suggest doing a full fastboot wipe and installing the CM7 RC1 nightly that way you can escape blur but that just me lol for sure a full fast boot wipe or from your current frootcake maybe trying flashing a diffrent kernel

Argghhh

Okay, I have gotten so blasted close with getting a custom rom on this phone. I can get them installed now and they are wonderful I tried gummy and aokp but for the life of me I can not get data to work I can not make or recieve phone calls. I am in roaming all the time too. I have gone through all settings and scoured the forum and I can not find an answer anywhere. Am I missing something totally obvious here? Does anyone maybe have any suggestion? Thank you guys for your help. It's just frustrating that I am so close.

What is the status of your Photon currently? Assuming it is rooted and unlocked, running what rom? Please provide info on what rom you are on now, which one you flashed from, and what process you used to get where you are. The more info provided the easier it will be to help.
Well lets see, currently I am back on stock, but here is what I did. I rooted, unlocked, installed CWM 5.0.2.7 I also flashed jokers recoveryv3 ( I follow QB's videos) So then I installed the gummy rom using this process. Format system, format data, format cache, wipe cache then dalvik cache. flash rom, flash rom again ( now I did not reboot into recovery after I flashed the rom the first time) I just went straight to install rom again. flash gapps, fix permissions. Reboot up and good loving it all. Waited 15 min then rebooted again. That's it. So I am at a loss. Thanks for help if you need any other info please let me know.
Oh I am on 2.3.4 with 198_7 also
In your system settings did you have "home only" or "automatic" selected for your roaming settings? For a lot of these roms, "automatic" is forced roam. And then if you didn't have roaming data enabled, that would explain why you were constantly roaming with no data.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
Thanks so much .
I did have automatic checked but I did have roaming data enabled also. I flipped it around too with home only. I am truly beginning to think my phone is just plain "off " who knows. It's a shame though, I mean not that stock is bad on this phone but the custom roms are so much better imo. This is the first phone I have ever had a problem with. I have been flashing phones for years. Think I started with a HTC Mogul. That was a solid phone LOL
Does CM7 work for you? If it does then I reckon flashing that and setting it up, then instead of doing a full wipe keep your data and flash CM9 based rom over it, fix permissions and take it from there.
I have not tried CM7 but I can, sure can't hurt to try at this point. Thanks, I will give that a try tomorrow.
Have you tried *#*#4636#*#*? Sometimes flashing changes the radio in that menu. Be careful though, changing something can really Bork your phone. It should be on cdma prl I think

Deb, my photon has never been kind to me with the 'flash twice' method. It always results in no data. Try cm9 again, but this time wipe cache, system, data, and dalvik, install version 3.1 of cm9, boot into it, reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalv, then install the latest cm9 version. Always works for me. Good luck

Morning all, your all are great. Okay so I am ready to start again. I'm at stock right now so I need to get her all set up again. (Yes my phone is a she) Acvice, I am going to try your method first will let you know in a bit.
Looks like joker's site may be down so I need to try and find the 2 cm9 roms
I have this rom saved already on my computer
beta-0.6.9.1-cm-9.0.0-RC0-sunfire-UNOFFICIAL-signed.zip
Wonder if I should try that one or just wait
After I install CWM 5.2.0.7 do I also need to flash joker's v3 recovery?

Glad someone provided you with that 3.1 link. Looking forward to see if it works out for ya.
By the way, you will know it worked if when you boot up in 3.1 you have working data. Flashing the newer version after that will essentially just update everything.
Deb, I take it the flash of 0.3.1 didn't work? Did you have data and then lose it when you flashed 0.6.9.3? What were your exact steps. I just rooted/unlocked and flashed my f-in-law's new photon and it worked just fine. Lemme know what you did and maybe I can help more
sent from my CM7 MoPho
Thanks bullfrog that's nice of you but honestly I'm good now As you know.
I didn't even try to install 0.3.1. I kept thinking about it, seeing I had no luck with 2 others previously so I decided to go the MIUI route and I'm a happy camper with that one. I am a flashaholic for sure, as we all are here. I am thinking though, I am gonna just be happy with where I am at for now. Of course I will most likely decide to give another rom a try at some point.
Of course I am already eyeing a few Samsung Epic touch's on ebay. I hear that one can be a brick just waiting to happen....weeeee I am having way too much fun
I'm glad you made it to MIUI. if you ever want to try cm9 or and of the similar ones (aokp, gummy, paranoid) I would suggest flashing that 0.3.1 first, then updating to the latest cm9, then flashing the variant

CM9 on DX2

Okay, I posted earlier in the month or before last and had issues getting gapps to install and then CM9 would crash as soon as the activation part comes up, I'd reply to it but I can't find it. So....
Well I finally got it to work right with gapps installed.
What happened the first time.
Went from 2.3.5 to 2.3.4 and everything else that was listed in the CM9 page.
installed gapps and didn't work but booted into ICS 4.0.4 with wifi and 3G but no gapps.
tried to install gapps again and again it booted but no gapps.
Reloaded 2.3.4 back on through RDS and again got the same results.
Reloaded 2.3.4 though RDS but this time it started crashing at activation.
tried this many times and finally gave up, loaded GB 2.3.5 back on for while.
I'm not much of a quitter so I figure I'd give it another go.
Ran through the steps as before but loaded a different gapps and low and behold it's working, with gapps installed as well.
Apparently it didn't really like just going straight back to 2.3.4, but worked immediately after I upgraded 2.3.4 back to 2.3.5.
In short if you have issues getting stuck or crashing on Activation reload 2.3.4 and do the necessary updates to 2.3.5 before downgrading back to 2.3.4. Hope this helps!
Sorry but no... If you have problems get fresh downloads, reread every step, wipe wipe wipe...
