Damaged camcorder functionality. Need help.

[leemcd56]

I tried using this library update (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935017) by -={antibyte}=- to obtain 720p fullscreen recording on my Moto Defy. Result: Camcorder crashes on startup. Quick switch to CIF mode (had to do this from the Camera app) and it records but switch back to VGA and it crashes.

Stupid me forgot to backup before I did this so I need the default media_profiles.xml found in /system/etc and the default libraries found in /system/lib.

Yes, I am a noob. I switched from iOS to Android just last month.

Actually that topic talks about 720p playback and fullscreen 848x480 recording (so not 720p recording), question:
did you just copy and cut the libs?
or did you flash the .zip from here?

If the .zip was flashed then you actually have a modified blurcamera.apk in your /system/app folder. Replacing blurcamera.apk with the original one should be enough to fix the problem.

If you're on froyo 2.2.1 you can take this one.

I have this problem as well. Have been searching around for an hour for this fix but have not found one yet. I didn't backup either. I want to avoid doing a full restore if possible.

Anyone out there?

Bump! I need a fix. Even standard VGA would be fine. Anyone have a .zip to update via recovery??? I would like to have my camcorder back :-(

I have the same problem.
When I select VGA recording Camcorder crashes at beginning,
only works with CIF.

Android 2.2

EDIT:
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-003
Android 2.2.2,
but this tweak changed it to 2.2.1

but this tweak changed it to 2.2.1

Thats because of the build.prop. What you can do is extract your original ROM nandroid (should be able to find it somewere on the forum) and then take the files out of there.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Now I flashed the phone with RSD Lite and everything is back to normal.

this is becasue the internal camera app doesnt support the high res modes, so just dl a replacement app that does. the updated 720p also seems to break vga mode, I assume somethign to do with the compression mode used? I had exactly the same problem on mine, I never really used the camcorder app anyway so i just didnt bother with the 720p files when i reflashed it recently.

but yeah, download another camcorder app and all is well!
