2.0 Camera / Photos fix (Need Feedback)

Author: BigBoss  //  Category: General, Jailbreak

So does your camera/photos app just crash on 2.0? I had one of my iPhones doing this and twiddled around with some things and now it’s fixed.  However, before I call this a “real fix” I would like to get some feedback for others that have the same issue. So, if your camera or photos just crash please try these steps and let me know. They were tested on 2.0 firmware.

  1. SSH into your phone.
  2. Navigate to your photos folder: /var/mobile/Media/DCIM
  3. Here you will have a series of folders: 100APPLE, 101APPLE, 999APPLE etc.
  4. Enter the 100APPLE folder. Here you may see nothing (no photos) or you may see some jpg and thm files. The jpg files are the pictures and the thm files are the thumbnails that show up with the pictures.
  5. Look for any thm files that do not have matching jpg files and delete them.
  6. Test camera and see if it works.

I would like some feedback as to whether or not this solved the problem for anyone with the above issue. If so, I will integrate the fix into BossPrefs.

    Hey,

    I have an issue with the original camera app not saving or deleting pictures. When i take one, its a blank thumbnail. The pictures that i took before it started doing that, cannot be deleted. With Snapture, i could take a picture and it will save into the camera roll app, but i cannot delete it if i tried.

    What would be recommended to be done? Fix Directory Permission on BossPrefs, SSHing into, deleting DCIM folder? Any info. would be highly appreciated.
