You try remapping the buttons?
Settings > Buttons

Often after a ROM upgrade, button mapping will be f'd up, try that.

I have seen comments about not being able to use the camera in one of the posts relating to the latest Schaps beta release: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318589 (take a look) is this the ROM you are using?

In any case I'd suggest that you post this question in the area related to the WM6 ROM that you have changed to then you will most likely be able to get comments from others that have the same ROM (and most likely the very same issue). Such camera issues (hardware fault aside) are most likely to be caused by either the ROM or third party software.

Default Me too

I've got the same problem after flashing to Black Satin (from Shadow) and radio 1.48. (T-Mob UK MDA Vario II)

Have since tried:
Black Satin Medium
Schaps 3.30c
Black Shadow
Radio 1.43

but still no camera The camera button is set to 'Pics and Video' (changing it to 'Camera' doesn't help) and starting camera from Programs just does literally nothing.

I'm checking the Schaps thread again - seems like other have a similar problem which is a little reassuring! Will report back if I get anywhere...

Just seems worrying that flashing back to old ROMs doesn't fix it.

Any other ideas welcome!

I just encountered the same problem on Schaps current 3.57a ROM on my HTC Hermes. Whatever I try, the camera won't start up. Help would be appreciated...
I am using:

- HTC Hermes (by German Vodafone)
- Apple iPhone 16GB

- SPB Mobile Shell
- MS Exchange Server

www.SCHNEISING.de,

I've also tried schaps 3.57a after my last post and still no good. I wouldn't worry if the camera was just broken in one ROM, but the fact that I can't get it back in any ROM is very worrying

Can you try running the flashlight app in that ROM? (Programs->Accessories) That does nothing either, for me...
