No worries about the emoji, it was just something I had noticed. The basic smokies still work.
As to the camera... I grabbed your update (milestone 6.1) this morning, wiped everything twice and flashed your ROM. Seemed really.Kathy when it first booted (more than normal) And never got a data signal. Tapped the 4 corners and went into the app drawer to open phone info and it was set to gsm. Switches it to the proper setting and data came back up. Opened the app drawer again and noticed that there were about 6 programs there that instead of.the theme icons they were the little Android guy with a diamond on his chest. When trying to open them (camera was one) I got errors, app cannot load, or some.such message. I went back to recovery and wiped everything again and Redlands ROM, same issues.
IM back on your .214 ROM now....
I also am having the same problems with my camera and gallery. I also flashed the 6.1 version this morning and it still did not work so I am back on the .214 build as well. I was told to try and unmount and mount your SD card under settings>storage but that did not work for me. I have this issue on all of the other AOKP M6 builds as well.
