After flashing the ROM (L26 WM 6.1 Professional WWE V6a with
R 1.58.26.20) everything works fine, but videos taken with the camera show only as a green screen. The sound is there, just the picture is missing. When I transfer the .MP4 file to the PC and play it - the result is the same. The PC has the K-Lite codeck pack, so it is not a codec issue.

I searched this forum and couldn't find anything about this problem. Any ideas?

You gotta take the lens cap off!

Ha ha! couldn't resist.
I've had a similar problem with taking pictures a few times and never figured out what it was. It was in a high light situation, with the resolution set to highest and superfine and the pictures taken were just solid black, while pictures taken immediately in a different lighting situation were fine. I dropped the resolution down a notch and it worked fine.
Weird.

Actually it's been a fairly recent discovery I think. Probably related to the release of the new CPUs (MSM7201) that are suppose to circumvent some patent infringement or something. Anyway, you can follow the progress of this issue here:

and if you want, you can test out the Hyperdragon ROM, but then updating it with the original file posted in that thread. (I'm too lazy to do this and I already have my rom set up the way I want it haha).

Hyperdragon ROM here:

Then load the original CIF dll (CIF_314.zip) from page 5 of the thread:

And post your results there to let us know if this fixed the camera :) Thanks

Yes, you were right. It was the new CPU on my Tilt. The funny thing is I tried several ROMS and all of them were recognizing it as 7200. I finally installed the NoThrills ROM and it recognized it as QUALCOMM(R) 7201 and the camera started taking videos. This ROM also runs everytning faster... at least until I started installing things.
