EDIT: Haven't seen that you already fixed that
Thank you for finding this out!

Oh my, so probably I was root when I copied things to sparse/. (I remember that earlier I set the owner of all sub folders and files to user, but, as I did the copy in a different command line window to the one I used for the build, probably I didn't realize I was root in there.

Yes, I fixed it, but it was an accidental fix because I was not aware of the permission problem. However this explains a lot. (e.g. why the new images behaved that way.)

Maybe something similar is the reason why the camera is broken in the latest build.

Once I get home I'll double check the permission of everything in the sparse/

Thanks for the heads up!!
