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?
Sent from my Milestone X2 using XDA
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.

Looking for bait of advice I have been running version 1.5.4 Foxhound Rom which lately there seems to be an update for every other day.. now the problem is if I want to update to the new version I have to wipe all my data and start fresh if I don't and install the new Rom without wiping everything then it won't boot up and freezes at either the starting apps point or the finishing boot point which is more than little annoying! I've tried to follow the instructions on the thread from here fixed permissions etc etc but it will not play ball.. I've tried updating then restoring my data after and still the same.. any suggestions would be greatly received
I have only recently begun flashing roms to my phone, so I am still just a noob I guess.
I am running a rom with an OTA update and I am curious about the updates. Will this update maintain my rom or will I be starting over again? I am having troubles with my contacts being properly backed up.
Could I boot into non-safe and do a stock contacts backup onto my sdcard and then toggle back and wipe/install my update? Or will the update just flash on top without a system reset?
I also have google apps update, but when I use it I get an error saying that it expected 4 arguments and only got 3. I am certain I was updating the proper apps for my xt912. I have another copy that works, but it would be nice to only OTA the right update.
I have been using Omega rom for many months however recently the phone started to lag very bad, so I tried updating it to the latest update of Omega,however there was no improvement even after a clean fresh install.
So I decided to go back to a stock rom not realising I needed certain functions that only a custom rom provides.
However ever since the loading of the stock rom and re-rooting the phone, every custom rom I have tried, Omega and Sensation, after start up when installing the rom, within 5min the phone just crashes and I cannot do anything unless I take the battery out.
Why would this crashing keep occuring and what could I do to resolve this issue?
Just tried tried flashing Sensation again and installed fine but within 2mins of completing the install, it crashed and I had to take out the battery and reinsert to finish my first time setup, which this time completed.
I then allowed the phone to reload apps trhough google play and within 5mins of installing it again crashed although the charging icon is moving but I cannot select anything on the screen...

did you try full wiping ur s3 and then reinstall omega
Sent from my Supercharged V12 Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk
When you say full wipe, do you mean through CWM?
I did wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.
Installed rom will full wipe selected.
After installing, wipe data and cache again.
Still crashing...
Omega problem ask in the Omega thread makes a lot more sense .

I had the same issue with Android Revolution.
Since reverting to stock rom, things seem fine now...

Ok, I have a what i think is a rooted droid razr. I was on jelly-wizz rom and i went back to my stock rom with safestrap 3.11. My phone told me there was an OTA update that i did successfully and brought me to 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US (4.1.2). I had already manually updates the xmas leak so I was on 4.1.2 before the OTA. I erased the jelly-wizz rom slot and wanted to use the new Eclipse Razr JB v1.1 so I went threw all the steps and that and installed and activated the new rom. That put me into a boot loop. I then activated the stock rom and figured that I would start from scratch and unroot then root and start all over. The problem is i uninstalled Safestrap and didn't remove the recovery. I tried to reinstall safestrap and it takes but when i try to launch it it says safestrap has stopped and wont let me in. When i reboot, I get the safestrap menu saying it is disabled and can get into safestrap but any rom i install just puts me in a boot loop but I can boot to stock fine.
I just want to unroot and start from scratch and deleting all rom slots and factory reset does nothing. Any Ideas????
Use this to get you unrooted. It will take you back as if you never rooted, it will also delete your apps so back them up.

That was actually my next plan of attack. Worked like a charm. Made me unrooted and just had to start over from scratch which is fine. Nice that Matt has a root process built right into the app. I found out that the Eclipse JB Rom v1.1 can only be used on the xmas leak and if you do the official OTA then it just boot loops. That was the other half of my problem. Will just have to look for a new rom for the time being. Thanks!!
I think Jelly-Wiz has the same problem as the Eclipse. It just puts me in a boot loop as well. Guess I'll stay with stock for the time being
I had the same exact problem with the bootloop after updating to the Verizon OTA. I guess the kernel had some minor changes or something because any ROM built for the Xmas leak caused the same issue. I've been very happy using one of the CM 10.1 nightlies. Works like a charm even with the OTA update. I also heard of a ROM called FlyingJelly that works with the OTA update but I haven't tried it myself.
How do you do the cm10 mods. I've heard about them but haven't yet. Are they any different or better. I'd assume you use cm for them instead of bootstrap?
[Edit] I found out on droidrzr.com that there are actually 6 roms that work with the .16 kernel.
Aviator
Cyclone
Black Widow HDish***
Flying Jelly***
Rage ROM
Breakneck Blur***
*** These three have the circle widget from the Razr M (I'm guessing) I'm using the Breakneck Blur one and its really nice. Just over one page of installed apps and everything works great on it so far. I hate all the bloat that Verizon and moto put on these phones that you never use and cant uninstall.
