I'm pretty sure its because the builds we have for the Crescent are based on the original Blades libs and that device doesn't support a front camera or flash so they won't work on our phones.
I'm not too sure though.

As far as I remember, it does but the cameras are a different model and the libraries couldn't be made to work with ours.

The skate doesn't have front camera
Your front camera (and flash - same for skate) doesn't work because the proprietary liboemcamera.so library doesn't seem to be compatible with 4.0+, and causes memory errors. We use the blade's liboemcamera.so because it doesn't cause memory errors. C3C0 has tries multiple times to try and fix this but,unfortunately, hasn't been successful.
Current Phone:
Xperia T
Previous Phones:
Orange Monte Carlo
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic (Nokia C6-00 CFW)
Sony Ericsson v640i
Nokia 3120
Various other Nokia phones.

Different APIs and what not in 4.0+ so understandable, but what about for CM7 atleast? Even video gets recorded at 352x288 max, for now..
I can't say for definite but I don't think that's related to liboemcamera.so, but more likely camera HAL.

As far as I know, the Blade's liboemcamera.so, which all three zte msm7x27 devices use, is at the Gingerbread api level. They started on FroYo so their 'new' lib might've been for Gingerbread.

Im not sure which lib is being used on CM7 - Dazzozo might have used the Blade or Skate one.

So its possible to be used with CM7, but a lib for a device without a front camera was used instead? Would be great to try CM7 if it was working!

I was a fan of ZTE but now I'm not anymore. ZTE was a great manufacturer back in 2010/2011, it created a great period that we called "V880 era" in China. But now things have changed, ZTE becomes much lazier and doesn't care about its clients, compared to others phone manufacturers
Anyway, my next phone will be Huawei. Byebye ZTE.

Samsung seems to be the only safe bet or maybe Sony, LG too now. All of whom have now made official Google phones.

Samsung are quite a pain actually, and Sony haven't made a Nexus device yet.
Sony is probably the best vendor besides the Nexus partnerships.
