I'm not getting that dot either, look carefully where the camera is to see if the lens is cracked, dirt on the lens, or dirt in between the camera and lens

Also did you look at your photos on your phone or your computer?

What's up with the Camera app? I don't think it's the right one since it has Photosphere and therefore FCs anytime I choose an option other than "Pictures". I just want video recording. Does anybody else have this?

EDIT: I'm using X2, packaged kernel.

Use the latest version of STi kernel. No issues with video recording anymore

I flashed the latest STi kernel but i still have no video recording. I've had this problem on almost every 4.2 ROM that uses gallery app WITH Photosphere. I've read in many places that the Photosphere version does not record video.

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[X2][New Mali]

so I just want to clarify, which is the better kernel for this ROM? ajk or sti? I was under the impression that ajk was the choice for this ROM :)

Photosphere is incompatible with our device currently.

Just flashed this and I'm loving it! Much better than the other ROMs by far in my opinion.

Since installing this ROM, for some reason, whenever I let the phone use the network-provided time zone, it defaults to GMT +0, which is incorrect. The time itself is correct, just not the offset. I think I still have a backup of SHOstock2 that I was on, but the appearance of this issue was less than coincidental.

Uncheck automatic date and time and timezone...
Its a known bug to all 4.2+ roms

Someone correct me of im wrong, but I believe that this is a known bug in jb. Does it only do it when you reboot, or turn it off then on later?

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]Captivating(Xperia Themed)[X2][New Mali]

Yes with the reboot..... I have been having issues with my phone not picking up signal when coming out of an area with no signal or when coming out of airplane mode and I have to restart like 5 times or pull the battery to get signal again and then I have no battery. Its weird though because I have had my phone in airplane most of the day due to no signal in my work building but still have no battery
