Nomming, as this makes the feature unusable.

Comment 2

[David Flanagan [:djf]]

The reason this isn't working for you is that bug 989290 will not be fully enabled in nightly builds into bug 1000448 has been fixed.

In the meanwhile you can enable the fix like this:

$ GAIA_MEMORY_PROFILE=low make profile # update config.js files for camera and gallery
$ APP=camera make install-gaia         # push the camera to the phone
$ APP=gallery make install-gaia        # push the gallery to the phone

note to self:  follow up with these steps if I don't see a fix in next build

Comment 5

[John Hammink]

what I'm seeing is that on gecko/gaia builds only

GAIA_MEMORY_PROFILE=low is not set.  When I flash only gecko/gaia I am getting,  a camera preview freeze when trying to add a picture (from camera) to contacts.

Gaia      8895b180ed636069473703d0e7b73086989601ce
Gecko     https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-b2g28_v1_3t/rev/7caf4b5abfce
BuildID   20140428014001

However, when I do a full flash, the problem goes away.  

This suggest that full builds use the camera.json file from the spreadtrum tree, but gecko/gaia builds still need GAIA_MEMORY_PROFILE=low set.  As djf suggested, let's reopen this.
