Hi to all.. I have been mentioning this in several ROM's threads, but none answerd.
I'm writing this to find if anybody else experiencing the same issue...
Since I have been flashing ICS ROMs, my front facing camera stopped working..
Before that on GB, even with Amaze camera it worked perfectly, now it just freezes the camera app, and nothing happens...
I'm missing it because of video calls.
Can anybody suggest any solution?
gosh do u know why we have "Q&A section" as a subforum?
Sorry, if anybody can move it, do it...
But it's just ROM development related issue, so placing it here is not such a nonsense...
I've read somewhere, that it can be kernel - based issue, but one of my friends who has also EVO has no problems with that...

no, this is your issue, it has nothing to do with rom development. You probably just forgot to wipe cache and ended up using parts of an old kernel.
You can either start a thread in Q&A section, or ask the question in the thread of the ROM you are using

That's not possible, cache wiping won't remove kernel modules...
Did you try to run fix permissions? full wipe? do that, then it might work.
I did full wipe almost everytime before flash...
Now I did fix permissions and no change..
Any other ideas? What about full format?
Maybe It's a physical problem did you flash a gb Rom and see if it works then ?

+1 to this. As a test, I suggest you do a full super wipe and then flash a GB Rom like Mean Rom 4.2. If it works then, then rewipe and flash a sense based ics Rom and test again. You will then have your answer as to if it is ics or not.

What about the baseband? Should I revert the older firmware too???
Ive allready done that, reverted back to the MikRunny, it did not function...
But there was the Anthrax kernel, so might will try the Mean Rom...
I have flashed many ics roms fully wiping each time and have no issues with ffc

Always:
List your HBOOT version and "S" status. If you did, ok. But, I didn't catch it.
Also, list what steps you have taken.
VERY first thing:
1) Wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset, and flash modified superwipe (I've done this and in doing so have had no flashing issues. All my issues were because of something I missed or messed up).
2) Have you tried going back to a GB ROM? If so, how? Did you do a restore or a clean wipe and flash?
3) If you did a restore, did you do a complete wipe as stated in #1?
4) After flashing an ICS ROM, were you trying to restore any data from a previous ROM, whether GB or ICS?
5) If trying to restore data from a GB ROM, it will bork your ICS like it did for me, regardless of the ICS ROM.
6) If trying to restore data from an ODEX ROM to a DEODEX ROM, or vice versa, it will bork stuff.
Just let us know what was done and that will eliminate a lot of repeated suggestions.
EDIT: I'm running Booster Shot ICS with no issues or force closes. I've easily flashed my phone to different things over 50 times. Completely wiping everything like I stated in #1 has always worked for me and prevented issues in coming from a different ROM. Sometimes if you skip a wipe, it will leave remnants of the previous ROM (from what I was told and it has seemed to prove true in my cases).
wipe
sounds like a wipe issue. I've used several ICS roms with no issues.. Try SuperWipe by mikey and see if that helps. Also, not all recoveries will propperly install all ROMs, I'm using 4ext right now and seems to work well
Gotta Learn the proper wiping techniques.... Only fold it twice...

I am currently running KaosFroyo v30 and just recently downloaded v31. Should I wipe my phone before installing the latest version of this ROM?
*Note: it does call for a wipe when installing v17 it reads " **THIS IS A WIPE INSTALL** " does that apply to all ROMs post v17?
Edit: I know I should be asking Kaos himself, but I thought I would ask the community first.
If he doesn't say to wipe in between you don't have to... I personally always wipe the dalvik cache before and after I install a new update even if it's not required.
Well, I did what you advised and everything seems to be working out well. Of course I only just recently updated, so tomorrow and Friday will be test days. One thing i have noticed though us that MMS is till not working....
Like Hungry Man said, you don't HAVE to wipe unless the dev says so, but things always seem to be a lot cleaner when you do wipe.
I always recommend wiping.

I always wipe disk and Dalvik.
Only takes a second.
And with Titanium and what not, you don't even have to do anything.
They're making things too easy for us, lol.
You could flash with out wipe then if you have issues beyond known bugs, wipe and reflash.

If you dont have many programs or apps installed then do a wipe but for me it is a pain in the ass setting it all back up again. So, if it is just an update, then I dont wipe. Sometiimes it leaves scratchy ass, sometimes not
I have always wiped updating to a new ROM, mainly because I didn't know any better. The next update I might update after V31 I might just try a flash and see what happens because I'm impatient when reloading everything LOL.
If it is a new completely different ROM then yes I would wipe.
Installing a new ROM, updating or new, is like talking a shyt. You should probably wipe.

+1 internets. I LOL'd.
most importantly like mom alwayz said , wipe good
Wiping will get rid of all the clingy bits, which isn't always necessary, but I recommend it.

I ended up not wiping (no pun intended) no problems so far. I like some of the little tweaks, but I don't think the track ball lighting is not working

I used the bootloader unlock yeserterday and and turned the S-off with Revolutionary. I have tried to flash 2 Roms, chogardjr from thmikmik site and synergy. Both times and my Wifi said error and the 4g wouldnt turn. Does anyone know why this is happening, or having it happen to themselves? Thanks
what recovery are you using? and what ROM do you actually want to use as a daily driver.
I am using the Revolutionary recovery. I have always liked the MikMik ROMs, I always used them on the 4g. I just dont get the wifi error. I am doing system wipe, cache partition and davlik cache wipe, I have always used those there, am I missing something?

Are you using the kernel that comes with the ROM? Or are you using a custom kernel?
That I dont know, how do I check that? I am still pretty new to rooting(I still cant believe I pulled it off without unrevoked haha) so I dont quite get kernals

Well you'd know if you were using a custom kernel, because you'd have needed to flash it separately and independently from the ROM. So if you don't recall doing that, then surely you're just on whatever kernel came with the ROM. The reason I was asking is because if you use a kernel that was for 2.3.3 on a 2.3.4 rom, it will indeed break your wifi and 4g until you went back to proper kernel. Other than that, I'm really unsure what is causing your problem.

You know what, I think you are right. Both the ROMS are 2.3.3 and my phone is 2.3.4. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it
I've already asked in the relevant ROM thread but thought I'd try here in case anyone else has had a similar issue.
I'm currently running Westcrip ICS 9.4 and tried to update to latest version but phone freezes a few seconds after booting (have to restart/battery pull)
I've tried wiping data/cache/dalvik/fix permissions but get exactly the same problem.
I've tried flashing stock GB through odin which works ok and then flashing again but get exactly the same problem.
I've tried flashing bezkes aokp but get exactly the same problem.
Thankfully my 9.4 backup restores OK and runs without any freezes.
The only thing I think it might be is something dodgy/corrupt on my internal memory or SD card. Is it safe to wipe these? I dont want to move my backup as I've had MD5 problems when trying to restore in the past.
Does anyone have any other ideas? I've looked around on the forum/google but can't find anyone else reporting the same problem.
This is driving me mad!! Am I missing something?
No ideas?
Ill try again after clearing internal storage. Can someone recommend the best way to do this please?
I should have said that i get the freeze problems with no non rom apps installed...

Well you are using buggy beta ICS base .
As you can flash and use a stock rom then the problem is the rom you are flashing .
Possible corrupt download .
jje
Thanks for the reply. I tried downloading again but still have the same problem with resurrection and bezke so will try loading a stock ics base through odin when i get home tonight. Do you think my 9.4 resurrection base could be the problem? I read that on earlier ics roms that you should flash stock ics first?

No idea really but how can you flash a stock ICS its not released .

I've been using Bezke's AOKP for 5 days now, without any problem, so the problem is definitely not in his ROM.
When you flash it, try the following:
after wiping data, cache and dalvik, go to mounts and storage and hit format system. It could do the trick maybe...

Arghh!!! Tried this and thought it had solved the problem. I've managed to install the new paradoxx rom now and even reinstall my apps and set up email account, but phone eventually freezes again. I've even started getting random freezes in CWM now! What I cant understand is why my phone is still rock solid running my westcrip 9.4 backup??
I think I might have flashed my phone to an early grave!!
That is really strange. Sorry that formatting system didn't help
Alright, about a couple of weeks ago my phone started randomly rebooting/shutting off. Was on meanrom 3.x woth stock kernal. Tried superwipe, reflash. No luck. Tried one of the many miui roms, tried aosp roms, tried android revolution, zr3d. Multiple different kernals. Still no dice....anyone have an idea. Hboot 1.4 downgraded, newest radio, ext 4 recovery.....almost bought a nexus last weekend, driving me nuts!

Gonna try updating the recovery..dpnt think thats it but what the hell. Also generally it happens with screen off and unplugged. Never happened with screen on yet
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
What software are you on the 2.08 or 2.17? Also what recovery? Also are you do you always wipe all the way prior to flashing...
2.17... On mean rom from 3.0 and up I'd just flash over... But since I've been having these issues been using superwipe.. Now I'm been flashing roms since I had a blackberry 8310. But I've never used a superwipe script to delete the rom data... This may be a dumb question since it wipes everything but do I have to select factorywipe too after executing the superwipe script..
1. 0.0.5 rc3 I think.. Just updated it. I think I tried your rom too!

I use CWM 4.0 as a recovery.. I never user superwipe just a factory wipe also cache and dav cache.. Everything runs smooth...
I would try a normal wipe then run that script..
I was on Booster Shot, did a backup in recovery, complete wipe and modified wipe, flashed Cool ICS ROM, wanted to go back, so I restore my backup from recovery, and now 4G (Wimax) is busted. It gets stuck at "obtaining IP address from Sprint" and goes no further. Any idea of how I can fix this?
Did you do a wipe before restoring your backup? Restoring a backup on top of a different Rom could cause issues like this. Try going into recovery and flash a super wipe like Chad's and then restore your backup.

I had that happen to me as well. I fixed it by entering ##3282# in the dialer, then going to edit mode (you'll need your msl). Then go in to WiMAX and reset the realm to sprintpcs.com. (even if it already says that, just re enter it). Then in the top right corner it sys save I think, or commit or something. Just make sure to save and commit. Then it should reboot. For me, 4g worked after that on more than one occasion. It's been happening after changing Roms.

Didn't try this, however, will do next time I want to do a full restore. However, I think the issue lies in what I mention below.

I finally fixed the issue after a clean wipe and fresh install of everything. However, according to what someone else suggested to me in another forum I posted this question as well to see if peeps there had an idea of what the issue was, it was mentioned issues in restoring data from an ODEX ROM to a DEODEX ROM, and vice versa I suppose, and this is what I did. Booster Shot is ODEX. Cool ICS is DEODEX. I'm sure that is where the problem fell.
Thank you both for your assistance. All is well now!

Odex to Deodex (and vice versa) data restores cause problems even using the same Rom if the dev changes from one to the other.
