hello ppl
i have a htc sensation xe
hboot 1.29.
S-on
***UNLOCKED***
I've installed both of the roms Viper s 3.x.x and Revelations 1.0.x
all of the versions available tried all of them
but nothing fixes the camera
what happens is when i launch the camera app it shows black screen with the icons
and then crashes
when i launch the mirror app it works but the focus is bad
it shows blurry like an extreme close focus
Help Please
:(

Did you flash the latest version of the kernel? On S-On you need to flash the kernel manually (or use Smartflash on 4EXT).
get the kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356371

why you gave him that link?:confused:
this thread is only for development porpuses
there is no link for download
the kernel it is included only in these 2 roms

OP redownload the rom.zip
check md5 sums and then flash it

I have a similar problem :( When I launch my camera app, the screen goes blank and after some time the phone reboot itself. However, when I launch the mirror app, the front camera comes on but its extremely blurry and everything appears in blue colour. Tried 3rd party app (camera) but that didn't work

I rooted my phone using this tutorial here on xda

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

In this tutorial it tells you to back up before rooting your device in case anything goes wrong - and I did. BUT once I realised my camera isn't working I decided to to a restore using Clockwork Recovery v5.0.0.8 . Everything went smooth, all the apps are back - but camera still not working :(

Edited: I only rooted the phone nothing else - no custom rom etc. So i don't think it has anything to do with the roms? But don't take my word for it. I am a super mega noob and new to all these things xD
