Camcorder error

[asadullahibnrob]

On a fresh repo sync (meaning deleted the system folder and all else) the camcorder does not work correctly. The camcorder will show a preview until you push the record button and then will force close or give you the option to force close or wait. When you try to go back into it the error cannot connect to device flashes on the screen.

I found something similar and will try to fix. I did repo sync three times as well as retry to build all with the same error

here's some logcat

I found a fix what you've got to do is to use an older camera .apk yep that's not a solution I'll run a git diff. I hope that I'm not missing something and am gonna feel stupid later on. Not working

[tvall43]

any solutions to this yet besides copying the camera.apk from somewhere else? im having the same issue

[thekraven]

yes, use bobzhome's camera gingerbread branch. Or do this, jsut the Camerasettings.java and videcamera.java . thekraven/android_packages_apps_Camera@7a6afd1

It's mentioned in the building IHO thread.
