[Q] Galaxy S2 Grey Camera Screen - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm running JellyBam 3.2.0 and suddenly one day, when I open the camera app, I get a grey screen (the ui is there but it's like I'm recording a grey wall) I don't know if it's a software issue. I'm panicking please help!

I've noticed the grey screen on Siyah 5.0.1, I've tried CM10, and Dorimanx 7.26 but I still get a grey screen.

I tried several different camera apps, I reverted back to stock, I think my camera is broken.

black bar/stripe in every photo app

Hi,
I get a black stripe in every photo app. I attached a picture. It is photoshopped to show you how it looks, because a screenshot doesn´t show it.
I have a cleanly installed UK Stock LG8 ROM.
It doesnt happen in the 16:9 mode, just in the original 8mp mode.
Any ideas?
I used to have a similar problem with my HTC desire but it would also have a nice purple overlay in the camera app as well as the black bar
Unfortunately the only way it got fixed was to send it back to HTC but im pretty sure they only updated the software.
Regards
Jack

1- go here and perform the camera software update (need to be done with stock kernel)
2-if you use a custom kernel, check that he use the last samsung sources release and not outdated one
3- if none of the 2 first work: try a factory reset

Hi, just updated the camera firmware and the problem is still there.
no way i´d do a factory reset for that. Maybe when the jellybean update arrives and i still have the problem.
thx

ICS Camera

This is not really a question, but more of a suggestion for those who can't stand to use the current Camera on Liquid and Jesters Roms. Personally, I take a lot of pictures with my phone and the quality from that APK was quite bad when it was dark compared to what it was.
So after a lot of research, here's what I did:
Downloaded Root Explorer from the Google Play.
Browsed to system/app
Mount R/W and deleted Camera.apk
Downloaded this camera apk from MIUI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15307536&postcount=167
Installed it and voila - working camera with focus.
Note: Camcorder still doesn't work
I'm not sure if it's required to uninstall the Camera.apk (chances are no), however it's what I done.
think this may work with AOKP?
No go

You mean it shows the controls, but a blank screen right? You have to take one picture like that, and after that it displays the screen and it works fine. You'll have to do that each time you start up the app unfortunately, but still it's better than crap quality and no focus.

[Q] How to stop home button minimising app upon wakeup after screen timeout

I am currently on the Jellybean 4.1.1 stock rom (poland release) on my i9300.
I have an annoyance whereby if you are browsing the internet for example and the screen times out. pressing the home key wakes the device up but minimises the app (this case the browser)
On CM9 rom this does not happen the device wakes up but the last app is displayed and not minimised. Is there any mod to replicate this on the stock 4.1.1 Rom? I am rooted.

Yea i dislike this 'feature' aswell.
On my good old SGS1 this was working as well...
I think it's a bug. ICS ROMs normally ins't like that. all we can do is wait for another update on the Jelly Bean ROM
also tried formatting my SD card to my 2 S3's same Poland JB ROM it will just eject the card ang remount it, it will not format the card

Can anyone esle also confirm if this is a bug? If so is there any fix or mod that can be applied?
it is evident in all jb leaks so far, yes. Jkays mod fixes this, however it also adds a lot of other features you may not want. Not sure if there is an individual mod/fix though somewhere.

There's an alpha version for JB here.
Didn't you say on another thread a minute ago that you're on CM9?!?!

Thanks, I have been switching between CM9 and stock JB and have 1 annoying issue on each so wanted a fix before deciding which one was going to be my daily driver.
Yeah it's definitely a bug, but it only does it for some apps, not sure why. It was in CM10 for a bit at the start then someone patched it out, not sure what they did exactly. I haven't noticed it for quite some time but I don't use stock browser, I'm running Siyah Kernal, maybe GM patched it?

So are you using JB 4.1.1 or another Rom? It happens in FB and all other apps I have tried?
This annoyed the hell out of me too but I finally found a solution that works for me. Get Widgetlocker (lockscreen app). Once installed, run it, tap the settings icon, go to advanced, homehelper, then enable homehelper component. Now apps that was open before screen was off, are still there when unlocked using home button. Hope this helps you.
Btw. running Omega 27.2 in case you wondered.

Yep JB 4.1.1 or Omega 27.2, and dualbooting with Paranoid Android JB too, both seem fine now.

Installed jkays framework and this has resolved the issue, providing there is no major bugs in this framework I will contnue using this. I know its an alpha but from what I have seen so far seems very stable

I had the exact same problem after flashing checkrom based on XXLIB. This version of checkrom is a "Naked Base" which means a lot of samsung apps are missing... BUT it has the option to flash all those missing apps and functions using one package. After flashing the said package this was FIXED. After that I could press the home buttom after screen timeout and it turned screen on without minimizing the app I was using.
I have same problem with ARHD 11.2 (Android 4.1.1 / I9300XXDLIB), so it seems to be JB related. It don't matter what app I am using, they all do the same. Very small but annoying problem.

Is it a purple color? Have you tried to wipe your Camera data/cache in the app manager?

Mine is sorta purple. The m7 had a bad issue with their cameras when it first came out and people were sending them in for repair. I'd call HTC support and see if they can fix it as it could be hardware issue.

[Q] Omate Truesmart clone (Imacware M7) strange problem with camera app.

Does anybody now what problem is whit my camera app. Menu never stops rotating.
Everything else works prefect. Its watch broken or its software related?

Looks like your rotation sensor is messed up. Tried locking/disabling rotation in System settings?

If rotation sensor is messed up are there a easy fix for that or It’s only to accept.
Don’t want to send it back to China. I have tried locking/disabling rotation in system settings and the only different is that rotating its faster or slower.
Are you rooted?

Excellent news ... if you could provide a full backup of the firmware including kernel you could try to do a port for other devices x201.
Thanks
