i have flashed the last ROM (11/10) and the camara bug is present in red lens too. I can't film a video and when the camera app crash, i need to reboot the phone to get the camaera app working again and at least take pictures :(
Go back to 11/04
Reverting these two commits in frameworks/av solves this problem:
Code:
248986c0c0dcbebf60baf06bd957be79f144ed30 ('av: Various fixes and cleanups')
1d37d70fd08b3d4412e38a44d52e161e6d767b61 ('stagefright: Query PCM output format and fix bugs')
This can be narrowed down even more but for now it'll do.

Hi! I certainly can not say the exact solution, I have no knowledge. But if it helps, in my case MB525, green lens, and nightly nov12, I replaced the library libstagefright.so and now I can record video, but if for example I pause while recording at the end of the video, the application breaks.
Greetings and thank you very much.

Hi,frient at first thanks for your quick responge!
thanks for the site given,but i think the size of gapps is exactly the same with gapps-kk-20141030-minimal-edition-gps034-240dpi-signed that is used by me for cm-11-20140923-NIGHTLY-mb526 buildbot rom and i have
the sign:not enought space in system partition trying to dnld hosts using the adaway app, may be we need a smaller gapps zip near to 20mb except if you have no problem with this app or you didnt istalled on your devices.
i am going to try just for experience in newlife build roms and i will inform you.
Thanking for our communication,
Best, regards

Did you take the library from the 09-02-nightly like recommended in the buglist?

12/11 Rom don't boot at all in my device (mb525 - red) ... i can't get a log because the adb say that my device is "unauthorized"
if the adb say that your device is "unauthorized look what is hapening on your phone and give the ability to be recognized by pc and try again type adb devices, must be recognized mow. Then type adb shell,enter,type su to see what is hapening.
mb525 green lens.

not working

Installed from scratch.
Flashed with RSDLite, rooted, used those terminal commands, installed resize and then the ROM.

My phone it's on a bootloop, that guy at the center and the spinning thing forever. :(

Maybe it was my SBF?
I've used
JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B15RETBRLA019.0R_JORLAFRORETBRLA_P008_A008_M001_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf

EDIT: Doing it again using DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231.sbf...
Just did exactly like quarx say in his website, not lucky :(
MB525 red lens

I have no idea of what i did LOL.
But now the phone is COMPLETELY bricked, the battery is full but nothing happens when I try to turn it on nor plug in the cable

Just flash new zip, eventually you can wipe dalvic cache. You can also try CMUpdater in Setting -> About Phone, but on some nightlies it doesn't work. If you have build older than 1 October follow instructions in first post.

back to gingerbread!!

After a few weeks with some nightlies October and November ... I decided to go back to gingerbread ... and not going very well, too slow ... I think our defy already passed away, just wait a lollipop 5.0, and see how it behaves ... :mad:

I think September kitkat versions were the best ...

1. Update phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515036
This is only neccessary, if your current ROM is older than 2014-10-02.
If you have already a nightly younger than 2014-10-02 installed, you can just install a newer ROM zip via TWRP recovery.

2. Call Recording doesn't work, because CM team did this:
Source: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...8a390fa455cc17ea635e49c/res/values/config.xml
Code:
<bool name="call_recording_enabled">[B]false[/B]</bool>
2.1. Why did they decide this way?
Because of this http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/18879-call-recorder/#entry167827
One possible solution is http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.pyler.enablecmcallrec
based on this http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer

SMS and calling problems

I often have no signal, I can call people, and people can call me, but no sound is transmitted. I can recieve SMS messages, but I cant sent them out, and overall I can't seem to find reception
What can I do to fix this?
Using the 12/11 nightly on Defy+

RIGHT

After a few weeks with some nightlies October and November ... I decided to go back to gingerbread ... and not going very well, too slow ... I think our defy already passed away, just wait a lollipop 5.0, and see how it behaves ... :mad:

You are allways right Casper,i agree with you but i think the best cm11 is 23/9/14 and newlife( 4/11/14 all works good+video rec)except some not often reboots and litle bit slower than ics(miui v4 an also a not bugged rom like gb 7.2 wich is much faster).I am trying cm11 roms just for experience waiting for platform 5 to see its behavior.My opinion is to have a stable release first
and then go to platform 5.
