what i dont understand,is that file a phone file or a rom file? i was under the impression that after changing the file it would be bussiness as usual but it seems everytime i change roms {sense gingerbread)i have to apply the fix again. however aosp roms work perfectly. so i guess the phone is infected with the file not the rom or no? And why is it not happening to everybody? This issue crazy as it sounds showed up right after i formated the
system upon restore of gingeritisv1.3
Where did this happen?when when i installed the gingerbread leak? does that write a bad file to the phone somehow? If anyone can shed some light id really appreciate it
Thanks again

It has nothing to do with your Gingeritis install. I have the same ROM and had this issue. It was just coincidental.

Apparently that file had "expired" on August 31, 2011 and basically, everyone with that version of libOlaEngine.so, their camera stopped working on September 1st.

So....basically, what Phaded said.

thanks buts its still not a complete answer
if that was the case everyone would have stoped at the same time

For everyone who had that particular version of that particular file in their ROM at 00:00:00 on 01 September 2011, their camera DID stop working at the same time.

what im trying to understand is apparently the rom writes a file to phone and the fix does not work when switching roms

It's NOT going to work when switching ROM's because you are writing over the fix that you just made by flashing the ROM. It's just like updating your anti-virus software, then wiping and reinstalling the entire system and then wondering why your anti-virus definitions aren't up to date. The bug is in the software, not the hardware.

I think that you might be confusing ROM and PHONE here. The PHONE is the hardware (microchips, circuit boards, screen, antennas, etc.) and ROM is the software (Operating System, kernel, theme, libs, etc.). The libOlaEngine.so file is overwritten everytime that you change the ROM because it is software.

Understand that this is a temporary fix just to hold you over until the dev's update that particular file in their ROM, repackage it, and release it to the world. But for right now, if you want Gingeritis on your phone WITH a working GTalk and camera, flash the ROM first then do the fix.

Then just flash the camera fix instead.

You let that one go a lot easier than I would have.
