Hi all. I just got the FFC for the Vibrant in the mail after 3 weeks (awesome!) and I just opened up the phone, installed it according to all the instructions, made sure that it snapped in, but now my phone is not detecting either a rear or front camera! I'll try a new ROM, but I'm sure it's not that and I'm POSITIVE that I did not harm the new camera assembly. I took great care of it. I'll also try flashing the FFC_Mod.zip via CwM and see if it works. Will update once I've tried all of this. Anyone have any other ideas as to what's wrong?
even if the rom dosent support it should at least detect the rear camera.....

That's what's freaking me out!!!
Ok the FFC_Mod.zip didn't work. Let's see what re-flashing the ROM does.
Hmm well what rom are you on?

I was on Revolution ROM 2.0 (2.3.4 JVP) when I first tried it out. No luck, even after flashing FFC_Mod.zip. So, I swapped the new camera out with the old one just to see what would happen. The stock camera works, but the new GT-I9000 camera wont work in either case, whether it's the rear cam or the FFC. I checked all over the new camera. Except for the FFC attachment (obviously), EVERY little detail of that camera is the same as the old one, so I agree with you, the problem is most likely a software issue, but I'll still do one last test of it. I'll go and try a ROM and kernel that's proven to work, and if it doesn't, then I know that it's the camera itself and not something software based. I'll update this post once I'm done.
Ok, please read this whole post before flaming me.
I have a Galaxy Nexus. I've been running Jelly Bean for 4 months and love it. Settled in on CodeName Android. Great ROM. I install the nightlies.
I would like to put JB on my Tab but without a front facing camera it's a non-starter. A deal breaker.
16 months ago when I first got my Tab I used to check here several times a day and kept up to date. However, things settled in and I didn't need as much help on the tab. Now, I only come to the XDA forums about once a week. In fact, the only reason I come is to see if the front facing camera is working on JB. However, there's a ton of messages and it takes a long time to read them all just to find that one post that tells me it's not working yet.
And, I've noticed a dramatic hostility toward anyone who even asks about the front facing camera. Most people, like me, I imagine have just given up asking the question for fear of being flamed to death.
I was hoping that I could have this thread just to answer Yes or No, and which ROM has it going if the answer is Yes. It would not only help me, but many others that search through threads to find the answer. If, and when, the front facing camera is working it could be posted here by some caring soul and I could change the title of this thread to include a big ***YES***. That way those annoying queries with regard to the front facing camera, and their equally annoying flame replies can be avoided.
Thanks in advance for the caring soul that helps us out here.
No its not working on cm10.
Yes on an experimental cm9 build.
Beezer,
Good, this shows that it's not impossible and raises hope that it will become stable some time soon.
Thanks.
Bro - you don't have to rely just on XDA you know. If you're watching for CM10 updates, you could go to droidbasement.com. If a CM10 build is posted with a working front-facing camera, it'll be in the dev's notes for SURE. Just watch the blog entries.

Thanks for the tip. I went there, it looks dead. Nothing posted since August 16. More than a month ago! Has development on Tab ROMs stopped?
Also, in the Galaxy Nexus world there are at least a DOZEN versions of ROMs and CM isn't one of the top ones. Is CM the only one working on ROMs for the Tab?
I do not think Dev has stopped. The CM team has been working hard from what I have seen to stabilize CM9 + handle other concerns such as the MMC chip issue, and focus has just recently shifted back to JB. Only a matter of time I would think.
That said I have used that 8/16 rom and other than the lack of front facing camera it is a joy to use. I prefer the ICS experience for now personally and am playing around with mods and tweaks for 4.0 so happy where I am atm.

Can somebody tell me what roms has the front facing camera works? I looked for cm9 and AOSKP but it didnt say if work or not.
Pershoot had a hardware failure (motherboard). That's why no updates yet. Go to droidbasement.com and look for the experimental cm9 builds. I forget which one has it working but it shouldn't be to hard to find.
None of JB/CM10/AOSP ROMs front facing camera works. There's one preshoot's experimental kernel a few days back that demostrated that front facing camera working, but that was messing up other stuff bad. Preshoot did not make it public it is because it is quite unstable. I also read one the forum that most developer working on CM9 RC2, some of the issues they faced during build CM9 RC2 still needs to be addressed. However what they found out is they can fix the issues on CM10 much easier than CM9, that maybe make developers to move on completely to CM10.
I believe because Google's latest JB 4.1.1 is a complete android OS, it is less buggy, and developers start to realize it is relatively much easier to develop new ROMs based on JB 4.1.1.
so I still have some hope that we should have, at least, a beta JB 4.1.1 ROM soon. In fact, other than front facing cam, I am using 4.1.1 - Jelly Bean ROM that's AOSP release (pure JB 4.1.1) that Preshoot posted and MapleSyrup took over. Even if it says Alpha release, I am very surprised how stable it is - yes there's some tiny issues here and there, and no front facing cam, but other than that for Alpha release, it is rock solid for sure.
Any news?
Update
See the general section and look for: (Rom) CM10 Build Jelly bean 4.1.1. 27.09.12 New 3.1 Kernel Unofficial
Front cam works... over and out.
Thanks for the tip. I went there and looked. Looks like the camera is working but no microphone. I use my Tab a lot for video calls. Without a mic it's useless.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that they'll get this working.
Are we getting any closer to getting front facing camera and microphone working?
Bump. Any news? Or should I forget about it?
Pershoot had a 10/16 experimental up. Working front/rear cam, mic, it looks fairly complete so far.

Check droidbasement.com I installed pershoot's latest CM10 build and all 3 work. This one is by far the best.

Unfortunately it would seem the only thing that isn't working now on the CM build is the Keyboard dock. I am puzzled as to why this would be previously working and now broken but practically speaking it doesn't matter, I just can't use this until that issue is fixed.
Right now I'm on the Fourth Bar Rom and I must confess this Rom is so good I may not even move up to JB!

Well, ICS is pretty much been dropped as far as development goes, though there is CanonRom and cm9 still available. Both are fairly stable, and for an ics rom have pretty decent battery life.
JB has taken priority and there are plenty of choices. AOKP Is a great place to start, it has a lot of rom options, but not so much it overwhelms you. With all of the current jellybean roms, expect a few issues. If you didnt already know, Moto has declared the photon obsolete and will not be giving us ICS. Meaning, we do not have the proper drivers/libs to fix some issues. The camcorder does not work. There is a slight lag in animations(but has mostly been resolved) Some games lag/skip. Battery life is hit or miss, but your probably looking at about 10-20 hours of use, 24+ if you standby alot. Overall, it is worth it for the JellyBean experience.
There is also CNA(similar to aokp, but more option), MIUI(iphone like), Paranoid(known for phablet/tablet mode), XenonHD (never used the rom too often so not too sure)
I'm using Th3Bill's (Jokersax's) CM10 jb rom 4.1.2 (1018 build) . So far my experience
+'s:
Very stable, minus the couple items below
Pretty damn fast (1300 mhz and 256mb heap size)
Getting about 36 hours of battery life with light usage (best i've ever gotten)
Updated pretty regularly (about a build every week)
-'s:
Netflix not working
Google streetview not working
Don't use the camcorder, but if I recall some say it doesnt work quite right

Thank you guys for the update!
About the camcorder - you mean that there is no camera at all or only the video rec is missing?
Of what you impressed, there is any chance to get any update/to get it works sometime?
Any other 'critical' things that missing at JB ROMs [that we had on GB] ?
Thanks again!

Camera app is there and it works, but the video lags behind slightly what you point the phone cam at. i.e. if you pan quickly from left to right to left it will start panning about a second behind where the phone is at.
Just tried the camcorder part of it, it lags as well and although it showed recording, I don't think it saved the video, or at least wasnt visible in Gallery or on the sdcard under DCIM/Camera (maybe they arent saved there anymore, don't use it so I'm not sure there)
Can't really comment on the prospects of getting it working as I kinda skim over those posts
Oh and the old thread got pruned and the new one is now, you may ask there

Hi guys.Why no one pulled the video library with the Atrix leak? Or someone is doing now? Devices as almost identical in hardware ... what problems are? In the radio part?
I'm having troubles with the Note 2 camera Mod. When I take a picture with flash, the photo is very dark , almost you can't see a thing. But without flash, the picture is normal. What could it be? Omega v34 syah kernel 1.8.4 installed.
I've discovered that the problem is the flash. It works well when do the autofocus thing, but when it takes the picture, the flash is really really short and with a low light. What could it be?
Thanks

Just wanted to ask you guys are you using any version of cyanogenmod on your device? Or is it even available for sirius(Z2)? How about the CM11S?
aand yeah desided to ask this here because i didnt find anyone who had installed it on this device (even on youtube).

I use it as my daily driver. My Z2 has been running the CM11 nightlies since the day they were released for the phone. What are you wondering exactly? I just saw the CM11S thread, but I'm not interested in it. If you're wondering, here's the CM11 downloads for the Z2: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=sirius
M9 is out I think. It's the stable version.
Can anyone please tell me whether the active noise cancelling (not only the microphone noise suspension, but also the one that works with the special sony headphones) will still work on Cm? I hate to lose that feature as it's pretty much the only reason why I bought the Z2 over others.

It is already expected that Sony proprietary technologies will not be available on AOSP releases unless Sony decided to release its source codes. There maybe decent alternatives such as x-Loud vs DSP Settings but still not comparable to Sony's current setup.
How is CM on the Z2 now? I've been waiting for awhile to try it out as some people seemed to be having some problems, there was a lot of talk of bugs with it.
Well I've been using CM Nightlies since they came out and I can't go back
CM is faster, you have ART, the sound mixer is allot better, tones of CM themes on the play store... etc...
With stock Sony Rom you have noise cancellation but the sound with those headphones and equalizer is bad I have to say. The X-reality is quite nice but unfortunately only works with the Sony App Album witch I personal don't like.
The only thing that I miss is the camera that in the Stock Sony Rom is better... but for the rest CM rules big time! :good:
How's the battery life on CM11?
Better than stock especially is used with ds battery saver on xposed
Im using the one plus one cyanogenmod ROM for the z2 I love it but it constantly crashes :/

Camera. I had an event to added, needed my camera in top shape, didn't want to take my S4 along. I believe camera still performs best on stock. So dats why
Camera performs exactly the same imo, just doesn't have as many advanced auto modes as stock camera

The difference between the pictures you take in CM and stock is huge. I went back to stock because of this too.

Me too... I would love using CM, but the camera isn't just the same as stock (even on manual mode). Probably CM11 is using old camera drivers?
Recently flashed the M9 snapshot on my Z2 but have been running the nightlies for a while.
Very responsive and snappy usage and comparable battery life to stock (power saver not permitting).
Agree with the others regarding poor camera quality. Fidelity not as high in CM and slower 'shutter speed' than stock which sometimes results in blurry photos.
Otherwise very happy. Will continue using as daily driver.
I hope they can correct camera issues when 314 sources are released.

Flashed M9 release last night and having an issue with data/wifi. When I'm on wifi and either go out of range of wifi or turn off wifi my cellular data doesn't work. It says I have LTE but data will not work until I reboot or toggle airplane mode. Am I missing anything here?
I flashed latest 17.1.2.A.0.314 prior to flashing M9 to get latest baseband. This is on Tmobile LTE.
I have been using it as my daily driver since it was available. The only issues i currently have is that when my phone is docked in the Sony docking cradle thingy and i remove it the screen stays on as-in i have to manually lock/turn off my screen,it doesn't auto-lock. This only happens with the dock not with the normal charger. The second and final issue i have is the lack of the 4K recording feature, but then again that is not an issue for me at all,since 4k is completely pointless for me at the moment.
Apart from the above issues,i LOVE CM11 and will never ever go back to stock.
