I've installed KennethPenn's ROM for 2.3.4 and loving it, however whenever I try to change my camera to front facing mode, it fails and causes the camera to FC.
Is anyone else seeing this issue or is it possible that I simply have a defective/corrupted com.camera module?
TIA for any advice/solutions.
im runnings kens rom, faux kernal, and front facing camera works fine...have your tried using QIK and see if it fc's?
I hate to say, but it works fine for me also.
No issues with mine either....did you freeze anything?

OK...thanks. I'm reflashing the ROM now. I hadn't seen others complain about it, so I figured it was likely just me.
Love 2.3.4!
Hmmm....after fresh flash, I still can't get the front facing camera to work. Fails and FC. I'll have to look into after I restore things.
I just verified that my front facing camera has no issues on KP's 2.3.4 beta 3.
Just tested. Working fine for me on beta 4.5

OK...so apparently I have a corrupted file for my camera app or a hardware issue. Any thoughts on how to repair/replace?
Error: The application Camera (process com.motorola.Camera) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
The regular camera seems to be working fine, otherwise. Just freezes when I go to front cam (same thing happens in QIK), then I get the error.
Used KennethPenn's Rom .... going back to 1.83 safe?
Maybe you missed something. Here are the instructions I followed on 3 occasions now to flash 2.3.4 beta 3:
reboot into CWM
do a complete wipe( this order, DALVIK, CACHE, factory)
install beta 3
do another complete wipe
install the root zip
reboot and quickly press up to start in RSD mode
flash the new radio reboot in CWM
wipe cache and dalvik
Maybe following this procedure will help you.
<edit> If you follow this, and get reboots when installing apps from the Market, what worked for me was boot into CWM, wipe Dalvik, cache, and factory reset, install root.zip again, then wipe Dalvik, cache, and factory reset again, then reboot. Should fix that issue.
I'll give it a try.
I think when I restored from Ti b/u, it just rewrote the fault. I'll uncheck the camera app for the next restore
What do you mean by install beta 3 do wipe then install root.zip ???? I only have beta 4.5.

you shouldn't restore ANY of your system apps from TiBu if going between OS versions.
Well...reinstalled with lots of cache wipes, and first thing I did was (after initial motoblur stuff) to try the camera....no dice. Looks as if it's bad.
I think going back to stock and calling Moto for a replacement might be in order

Why dont you just take the data/app com.motorola.Camera
and the system/app/BlurCamera.apk
and system/app/BlurCamera.odex
from one of these peoples working phones, then paste them into their according directories on your phone. Should fix it.
Edit: also, you will probably need system/framework/com.motorola.hardware.frontcamera

Agree with above completely! This is what caused me to have FCs with the contact manager. When I used TiBu to restore, I only restored my apps + data, not system apps. Worked like a charm.

I could try that.
Anyone with a working copy of Ken's 2.3.4 want to email me the files?

I would either pm ken or pm one of the people on the first page ( or all of them! Haha ) asking for the specific files. I would but im on bell.
Cheers
Did you search logcat and dmesg? Probably there is some info about what is the problem.

After several more reinstalls, I "believe" I have it working again.
Although I when I use the dialer and actually begin dialing a number the matched contact appears, I cant see my "contacts" anywhere else -- in the app or in the contacts portion of the dialer.
I saw in the development thread that some people were having this problem, but the only solution seemed to be to watch what you freeze with TiBu. However, I'm on a fresh flash of beta 4.5, and have frozen nothing.
Any ideas? I don't know if this matters, but in settings-->accounts, it shows my Google account, but it is not under "motoblur" accounts.
Thanks in advance.
I had this problem. What I did to fix it was flash a fresh system.img of someone on the same build as me. Sounds like your /system might be fudged.
Find someone using the same kernel&version and try that.
Edit: if nothing else works, a factory reset will work, but that may cause problems, idk ()
Yea did you reset and wipe your data before loading the new rom?
I had same problem when I didn't wipe once I did and reinstalled 2.3.4 it worked fine.

Yeah I wiped furiously when I originally installed it and when I reflashed. Quick question, when you re-install, did you sbf back to 1.8.3, or did you just reinstall the zip with CWM? I just reinstalled the zip so maybe I should try a clean install.

I installed the CM7 rom, everything is working fine that I can tell except when i switch from camera to video camera the app freezes and force closes. I am a noob to the android rooting community, not sure if this is known or not, I have looked around the forum and found some stuff pertaining to different devices but they are also mostly year old posts, this the at&t samsung Galaxy s II forum is fairly new there isnt much that is of help here, any one else experiencing this?
Did you try to wipe cache, and data, then re-flash the rom?
This is the most stable one (just in case) http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.1.0-Galaxys2ATT-signed.zip
Yes before I installed any rom, I back up my current, than wipe data and cache and than install the rom, I am also using the correct rom.. by reflashing you mean just installing the rom from sdcard correct?
That's correct. Also, go under Advanced in recovery and clear the Dalvic Cache. It can leave behind tidbits that can cause problems as well.

very very strange, I mean if I am wiping everything I am technically doing it from scratch correct? or would i possibly benefit from doing a complete factory restore and totally deleting everything (including rom back ups, downloads, titanium backups, etc.)

Its very odd to have a problem with the camera, even after re-flashing, and doing all that that you've done. It should've worked. Have you tried flashing a different rom, one other than cm7? Because if it still doesn't work on other roms, then you definitely have a hardware problem with the camera.

If you install Camcorder Shortcut App from the market it resolves the issue. Just open the app and use it once and then close out. When you open up the stock camera app the camcorder option should work.

this worked for me aswell, thank you a million!
I installed the app and it works in that it lets me record video. However, after closing, opening the camera, and trying to switch, it force closes again. Also, on the camcorder shortcut, it is only using my front-facing camera.
I flashed back to stock 2.3.4 out of my recovery and restored everything with Titanium Backup. Now whenever I try to open Gmail its force closes. I tried clearing cache and it didnt do anything. I tried uninstalling but it says I cant. I wiped Dalvik, cache and data before restoration. Any suggestions?

Just got started rooting, etc, a couple of weeks ago on the wife's X2, and got an early Christmas VZW Droid Razr!
To play it safe, I just rooted using Zedomax's method and it installed the Bionic Bootstrap Recovery; and I've did one backup just to be safe.
After researching here, I found there's a newer razr bootstrap here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341578
This one uses Zergrush V2 root method but doesn't install the Bootstrap Recovery as the Zedo method does. Nitro has the thread to install the RazrBootstrap.apk which I assume is a newer version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347767
I also see that Hashcode has Safestrap available which I assume is another backup/recovery method.
My goal right now is to have the razr rooted so I can get rid of the bloat plus have secure/stable backups in case I start experimenting and screw something up.
Is there any benefits to removing the Bionic Bootstrap and installing the Razr Bootstrap? Or using the Safestrap version?
Sorry for the noob questions; and I appreciate any feedback.
THANKS!
Since I'm not getting any feedback on the OP, I'd like to ask if a system restore to my initial backup would cause a particular app to not function properly?
Got an issue and it's really got me stumped.
ANY feedback would be truly appreciated!!!

Is it a system app or a blur integrated app that's the issue?

Not sure. When I click on the Contacts app, and tap a contact I get this message:
SORRY!
The application Contacts Storage (process com.motorola.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Force close
Talked with a guy today that seemed to be well informed; and he thinks my restore of the initial backup made with Bionic Bootstrap recovery method is missing some data compared to the stock data or has corrupted a file.
THANK YOU for any help!
Have you debloated any of the blur related contacts stuff from system/app? For some reason removing the yahoo contacts or work contacts hoses things up. In the themes/apps section someone posted a link to a full TiBu image of the stock apps if you need a specific item. Factory reset might be the only fix though, or possibly trying to restore only the system partition of your nandroid if its not corrupted.

Have not removed/froze any of the necessary apps that I'm aware of........
After initial root, did a nandroid bu along with a full bu in TiBu Pro. When I started having issues with the contacts, I restored back to initial nandroid along with TiBu. Also used TiBu to extract/restore all the apps from the nandroid bu.
TiBu is currently showing 246 user and system apps. Can't look at the image of stock apps you mention above (at work), but will do that later.
My only resort may be to unroot, and factory reset.......
VZW Replaced Razr
Sharing the results of the Contacts Issue:
Local VZW sales had my razr for a while trying to figure out the FC's when selecting a Contact.........owner talked with Motorola Support plus Verizon Support. Neither had any idea what was causing my issues. Told Store owner to replace it. Now have a new razr in hand!
