Root [ROM] MTDEV-CM9 build 20130120 [BETA]

I just want to confirm that this ROM (or any ICS or higher ROM right?) does NOT have video recording correct?
I really want to get my friend's phone I maintain on something newer than GB, but no video recording is a deal breaker for him :(

That's right. There is an app that can kinda do it but not. It's either in this thread or the DEV thread for the camera.

It should have video recording. I have since moved on to a newer phone, but even the older CM9 builds I used to run on my Triumph had full video and photo capabilities.

I just remember changing it to the front camera screwed stuff up, but that might of been fixed in the many months of development since I have last updated it.

Just checked my Triumph. It is running the build from April 15, 2013 :eek:. The back camera works 100%. Video DOES NOT work, as it crashes when pressed. Lastly, the front camera does not work. Sorry about the confusion.

CM7 gets my vote, for now.

Yeah, CM7 is more stable, has more of the phone's features working and uses less memory. It's what I ran on my personal phone and is what I left on my wife's phone.

CM9 is nice, but the camera trouble kinda killed it for me. I'm still trying to find time to work on it, but that's hard to come by.

I felt like I had a whole new phone with the CM9 builds. The whole experience was much smoother and snappier.

Stability wise, I never had any major issue with it running as my daily driver.

Unfortunately, if you MUST have the video capabilities, your only choice is CM7. I never really missed the video functionality, and was easy trade off for ICS goodness.

welp as of today I've officially recycled my triumph and am now a Galaxy s2 owner so I bid my farewell to you guys and to the triumph family. I hope one day, someday you guys can figure it out and make the triumph actually live up to its name

Thanks for everything.

It's sad to see you go. I guess it's like when people move on in life.

Tried this, thanks for all your work. Two more things to perhaps add to Known Issues? At least issues for me...

1) Wireless access point doesn't work - Specifically it appears to work but actually disconnects cell data, I didn't even bother trying to associate once I saw it wasn't going to work even if I could
2) CM Encyrption - Doesn't work either, appears to go through the motions of letting it happen then will just sit at the encryption screen forever never doing anything.

cheers

The wireless does work. just gotta wait for data to kick back on. shouldnt take more than a min.

I had no protector and even took off the hidden, thick protector that came stock. I'm not dissing the device and have no intention of starting an argument; but the MT had outdated touchscreen technology even at the time of its release. Not at all a bad device but definitely a step down.

The MT saved me about $1100 over the two years I had them. And that was coming from a fairly cheap service, MetroPCS. It gave me my first Android device, started me into programming (working on moving from an automotive technician), and saved me money. I was very happy to have it.
