Default [Q] Problem with aerovan's 10.5 BFS kernel under CM7.2

Hey all, I'm having some issues with the camera under the 10.5 BFS kernel with CM7.2 (both nightlies and RCs). I used that combination for awhile but then I got a screen digitizer replacement for my Inc2 and now the camera doesn't refresh under the default CM camera app unless I interact with the screen/app. I tried the camera under the app Paper Camera and it seems to work pretty well. This only happens with aero's kernel though, not the default CM7.2 kernel. The issue also doesn't occur with the unofficial CM9 builds from aero but I think that's because that ROM is using a different camera driver? If aero or anyone can shed some light on this I'd be grateful, I love using the 10.5 BFS kernel! Thanks!

it's not the kernel, it's a known issue with ics on dinc2, there is a patch on here or somewhere for the camera to work and camcorder but no flash

Use angel camera for flash, there's even a theme of it out there somewhere so it isn't pink.

Uh.... 10.5 BFS is an ICS kernel. I don't believe that ICS kernels can be used on gingerbread roms, well not with full functionality anyways...

Thanks for the tip but aerovan stated that the kernel is compatible with the latest CM7.2 builds. I know of at least one popular Kang that bundles the same kernel. Also it worked perfectly fine up until I got my digitizer replaced... so maybe it has something to do with that?

I'm running the latest CM7 nightlies and always an aeroevan 10.5 kernel. No camera problems here.

-CM7 on DInc2

Oh ok good to know. I haven't ran or even browsed any of the cm7 rooms in forever. Have you tried a fresh install of the rom and kernel? I'm thinking that this problem is software related. It just doesn't sound like a hardware problem to me.
