[Xoom Android Development] wayne710:
Continuing camera connection problems w/alogcat examples.

Connecting my Canon 5d Mkii to my Xoom with the OTA 3.1 upgrade as well as when rooted with WiFi_RootTool_3.1.zip results in Gallery automatically opening and loading the camera's jpegs, a great feature for viewing images. I then upgraded to Tiamat ROM 1.1 from the unrooted OTA 3.1 upgrade and noted that this feature was no longer working. I followed that upgrade path by installing ROM 1.1 on top of the WiFi_RootTool_3.1.zip (after a factory reset, once from internal Android and once from CWM 3.2.0.0). With these upgrade paths, Gallery still did not open, nor could the camera be mounted or seen with Root Explorer. Finally, I went back to stock 3.01 and then went to 3.1 with brd's HMJ37_HC3.1_Both_Models_BRDizzled.zip and then to ROM 1.1, and again, after connecting the camera after each step, Gallery would not open. I am currently able to connect and use usb drives, both fat 32 as well as NTFS, and an image card reader without any issues with ROM 1.1. (I did experience this same camera connection problem with ROM 1.0 on different WiFi Xoom.)

The following is the portion of the log from alogcat when successfuly connecting and disconnecting the camera when rooted with WiFi_RootTool_3.1.zip:

The following is the alogcat with ROM 1.1 and is representative of any of the Tiamat combinations I tested. I don't believe it shows that there is any recognition of the camera being connected.

I had one response to an earlier post in this thread that indicated the camera function was working fine. There have been no other responses so I don't know if I am the only one experiencing this issue or if there are others. In any case, this function is very important to me for when traveling, and I don't want to leave this great, feature-packed ROM for this one issue.

Any help resolving this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks!
