Thoughts on ARHD 7.0.3 Problems with video recording

I understand a lot of members are having problems with their Sense Camera App FCing on them after trying to take 720p videos and most everyone installs a new ROM after using the Clean Utility posted by mike in the first page. Sure it wipes the phone squeeky clean but what about the SD card? Do you guys use the same SD Card time after time with every rom you install? from 6.3.1 to 6.3.2 all the way to 7.0.3 or maybe installing someone else's rom altogether? Maybe not entirely formatting the SD card, but deleting the folders made by a previous rom installation ("Android" folder, "4ext" folder, ".data" folder etc) could resolve some issues since a brand spanking new and fresh installation will recreate those folders again on your card but will less likely merge with pre-existing and sometimes incompatible data therein. My 7.0.3 installation went flawlessly and I can shoot 720p video without the program force closing and everything is just as responsive as ever. My steps for installing a new rom are as follows and may vary for everyone:

-Copy all necessary files/mods/tweaks/rom, etc into your SD card and do a backup of your current rom.

-Boot into Recovery, select the Wipe Format option and do a Factory Reset, then Cache wipe and Dalvik Wipe and I even do a battery wipe all without rebooting.

-Use the USB Storage Toggle option and hook the phone to my comp where I delete all folders I know will be recreated by the new rom installation. Once that's done, disable USB Storage and disconnect the phone from the computer.

-Go to the Install from SD Card option and run the Super Wipe zip. It will reboot you back into recovery once finished.

-Going to the Install from SD Card option again, install your new rom (in this case, ARHD 7.0.3). I know the rom asks what kernels to install and if you want the OC Daemon to install as well. I choose the RCmix kernel and choose yes to OC Daemon.

-Once the rom is installed, reboot your phone and give it some time to setup. Sometimes it takes a while before you see the lockscreen. Don't be hasty. I usually wait another minute or two after seeing the lockscreen before using the phone to make sure some HTC widgets/apps/modules are fully loaded and operational.

-Complete the Setup wizard (I don't go into settings or anything else upon first boot) and once you're comfortable with everything you've entered, reboot the phone (give it an extra minute to load) and now launch the Camera app to see if it is still force closes when taking videos at 720p.

If everything works adequately, I reboot back into recovery and do a backup of my setup at this point. Once done, I then proceed to install any mods I want but only 1 per reboot, to pinpoint any conflicts.

This is just my method of installing a new rom. It's probably redundant or dated a bit lol but I'm comfortable doing it that way. So far I've had no problems installing any of the roms from mike's ARHD series except a few ones such as the tinny audio but mike's always good with giving us a prompt solution.

I hope this post is of some help to someone out there lol

Keep up the amazing work mike.

Take care guys :)
