I realized after using the cam-flash.zip provided earlier in this thread that my camera was working but only at 3MP. I grabbed the same lib files for the camera as well as the camera.apk from the OMGB release by r2DoesInc and modified the update.zip to flash those files instead. I now have my camera working at 8MP and my camcorder (almost) works. It displays fine but when I start recording it just freezes on one frame.
All credit for that fix belongs to the team behind OMGB.
I'm pretty sure I was the first to put the evo libs in our rom to get the camera working
