There is no useful information in the log when this happens, at least I didn't notice any. It just says that frames have to be skipped because the workload is too high. I guess I could check the Android-x86 code again to see if there is any fix for this. > * I have had a recent SMS issue where longer SMS's (more than one 140 > character limit) are not sent.

I didn't notice the "can't access camera" error anymore, except when I switched between CyanogenMod and Replicant during debugging and didn't do a factory reset. I'm currently finishing a fix for the next version that is a workaround to the situation where the camera app seems to become unresponsive and doesn't take a picture. If you press the "take a picture" button again in this "freezed" state, it will reset the connection to the camera and take the picture. I tried a second time to debug the actual issue in the smdk4412 camera code but I failed again to figure out at which point something goes wrong. The camera processes just stay in an endless loop and never finish. But at least there will be a workaround now which should also work if the issue appears on other devices. > Other than that it works fine as a daily phone. This is nice to hear!
