Good morning!
I searched all over the place, and can't find anything related to what's happening.
But, since upgrading, I was messing around with the camera, and it's not saving any images I take (or video, or panorama).
Anyone have any ideas? My next step is backing everything up and wiping, but trying to avoid that.
Any help would be muchly appreciated!
I experienced the same problem when I upgraded from 4.01 (yakjuux) to 4.04 (yakju) and then did an ABD mode restore (apps & sd card) using Galaxy Nexus Toolbox 5.6
I reflashed 4.04, restored only the apps and everything is saving properly again. Not sure if its related to the sd-card restore corrupting the camera with old 4.0.1 files or another reason. Any suggestions?
Same problem
I am having the same problem after upgrading from yakjuxw to yakju. I tried restoring my apps and data using Wugs Galaxy Nexus Root Tookit v1.4, but that didn't completely work so I ended up reinstalling all my apps by hand. I am thinking I will have to backup my apps using TitaniumBackup and then restore yakju. Can you elaborate on how to do an "ABD mode restore"? Thanks.
EDIT: I found a simple solution: http://www.galaxynexusforum.com/forum/rescue-squad/5868-cannot-delete-two-folders-sdcard.html
Just rename DCIM to something else, reboot, and the camera app should create a new DCIM folder with fixed permissions when you take a new picture. This fix worked great for me. Now I just have to move the old pictures to the new folder and hope it doesn't screw up my permissions again...

Im doing some backing up for a factory reset since im having some issues with the phone.
So I've pushed a lot of apps to the SD card, so theres info partly on my phone and partly on the sd card for these. Now, when I do the reset and use titanium to restore the apps/data, I imagine that it will remember that its both on the phone and sd card
But then, what I just do a normal apk install of an app I've pushed to sd? Apps fully install on the phone first, and then need user action to push to sd. Is it going to install the full app, or just the part that was on the phone before the reset?
I'm having trouble fully communicating what I'm thinking here, hopefully ya'll get the gist.
Slight tangent...after reading flipz's post about using titanium backup, what I'm getting out of it is that using it should be fine since I'm not changing the ROM I'm using, but the problems I'm having now (when hitting home or backing out of an app, the phone will spontaneously crash htc sense and the home screen will completely redraw as if i had rebooted) could be caused by an app i currently have, and restoring the settings might cause the problem all over again. Hope I'm reading that right.
TIA for any help!
currently ROM: fresh evo 3.1.0.1
current kernel: netarchy toastmod froyoized 3.7.6b
boo im hesitant to attempt without knowing what might happen
Hi all
I have recently started to have a backup problem using the clockwork mod recovery for Defy. I have used the recovery several times before (almost daily lol) and it have worked flawless, both backups and restore. Really great work with the recovery tenfar!
But now, it just keeps hangin at a point backing up a .png file:
"Finland_MTV3.png"
And it always hangs at this file (attached picture), so I can't back up my system anymore.
Just when I have made a pretty perfect running system for me tbh
I have tried to install the clockwork mod again, restart phone, format the sdcard, but nothing of that works.
Because I don't want to lose this setup I have not tried to do a restore, so I don't know if that works.
Yesterday i flashed my stock rom:
JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA028.0R_USAJORDANRTFR_P029_A006_HWp3_Service1FF
And deodexed the rom and enabled JIT with Higgsy's FrozenEclairDefy_V2.zip.
I then backup up my apps with Titanium Backup, restored sms, cleaned some blur widgets, overclocked with settings I used before with no prob, installed my own BlackStaBar theme and so on. Nothing I haven't done before really and the phone works just fine besides this.
Just to point out, I have not been able to do a backup at all with this setup.
Please help me guys!
Well I just solved it, I have no idea why it worked but it worked.
I searched for the file "Finland_MTV3.png" with root explorer and found out that it was associated with an installed app called "Tv.nu" with I always have had installed and backup-ed and restored with Titanium Backup.
First I tried to just delete the file itself to see if it was corrupted, but the recovery just stopped on another .png file associated with the app. Next step was to reinstall the app if all the files were corrupted, but no go.
So I finally deleted the app and it now works!
And if you watch my attached picture on my previous post you can see the word "Kanal" twice, well this didn't appear at all on the backup that succeeded just a minute ago. Strangely I recall seeing it on previous backups I have taken, I have no idea what it means. The backup that now worked also took a lot longer to complete.
Why the app halts the backup I'm clueless about, it have worked on every backup I have taken before.
Hey guys. I just wiped and upgraded from CM10 8/14 build to the 8/31 build. I always hate the arduous process of reinstalling apps (for some reason, the automatic restore of all apps from the Play Store has only happened once, I can never get it to happen consistently)
Anywho, I wiped, flashed the new build and gapps, and then rebooted and signed in. It decided not to auto-restore, so I decided to try and boot into Clockwork and do an Advanced Restore of only /data. Rebooted and I have all my settings and apps back perfectly fine. Is there a downside to doing this? It seems to have worked without an issue but I don't think I've seen people saying they do this regularly.
Also, does anyone know how to get the built in auto restore to work reliably? I have all the settings checked.
Thanks in advance.
I have done it numerous times that way, but as you go along, you will find that is not that reliable, use titatium or mybackup. Those always have better results. Either way is fine.

Titanium Backup is your friend! Its way more easier and you can transfer that folder from iPhone to phone. It makes life easier for us flashaholics.
Yes, I know there are other threads out there from people having this same message. But I read through several of them, and they have having different issues.
The facts:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus, running ParanoidAndroid 2.99 beta6 (JB 4.2.1)
I had forgotten to re-flash the gapps after updating to the beta6, so I just tried flashing the newest gapps using GooManager (comes with PA I believe...)
Anyway, that was a bad idea apparently. Using GooManager. Now, whenever I boot up, I get that error in the title, and when I hit OK, I get the constant message "Setup Wizard has stopped working." I can't access my home screen, it's just black, and I've tried doing a factory reset, then reinstalling the ROM and gapps using TeamWin Recovery (what I normally use).
I am currently in the process of wiping my phone COMPLETELY, and then installing the system and such, hopefully fixing it. Just makes me sad that I didn't have a very recent backup =(
Assuming that doesn't work, does anyone have tips for me? Or an idea of what I SHOULD have done FIRST, after the problem occurred?

Sound like drama I would go with your initial plan and start over again with a clean wipe. But before doing that have you tried fixing permissions to see if that helps?
could you tell us which gapps you are flashing? also do you use Titanium Backup to restore all your apps?
I wasn't really able to use my phone, when it was "broken". Couldn't access anything on the home screen (as there seemed to be no home screen at all) and the "Setup Wizard" pop-up just kept coming. So, I did not try fixing permissions.
Ummm... I was/am using the most recent gapps from goo.im I believe. I was linked to the gapps download from the PA thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619582). 4.2-2012 11 27
Anyway, it all works now. It took a few tries. I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to flash stock ROMs (tried stock 4.2, but it got stuck on the Google boot screen [not animation] every time, so I settled on 4.0.4) and later flash TWRP so I could flash PA 2.99beta6 again. I did it properly this time, and all works well.
Sorry to bother the forums with this thread.
Oh! And I have NOT been using Titanium Backup. I tried using it, before I upgraded to PA 2.99 (required a format to go from the previous version), but it wouldn't back up anything properly. I eventually settled on using the GNex Toolkit (which also failed for me, but it was a fault on my part).
So to get my apps back, I've been doing it manually by going to the play store and going one-by-one to get the apps that were synced to my account. Really sucks losing all of my data =/
go to /system/app folder using root browser, and look for apks with incorrect permissions. All apk inside that folder should have 644 permission (owner read write, group read, and other read)
Or you could alternatively fix permissions from recovery or using other apps
i had this on stock 4.0.4 when i first got my phone.. flashed 4.1 and it fixed the issue
OP - I use mybackup pro from the app store to backup all my data/apps and videos etc. Simply backup then go into your phones system folder go into rerware folder and find your backup folder and drag it to your pc. Simply update your phone then just drop mybackup pros apk file to your phone again ..install..then drag your backup folder back into its rerware folder...if it doesnt have a rerware folder..do a little backup of your phone in stock and then you should see that rerware folder...anyway thats just the way i do it..works blissfully for me everytime!
My camera for my Galaxy Nexus has been broke for the last several weeks.
When opened, a black screen opens before shortly thereafter giving the message "gallery is unresponsive" and force closes.
I restored to AOKP build 3, updated the ROM to build 4 and flashed that (after corresponding factory reset, wipe data/cache/dalvik).
Now the camera opens, shows the "take picture" etc buttons but still has a black screen and force closes.
I assume while flashing different ROMs I had restored using Titanium backup a system setting/app that caused this problem.
I understand this question has been asked, but I have to find a solution to my problem (I have done battery pull etc.)
Any help will be appreciated.
I should mention that I have had a couple messages over the previous couple weeks where it says "SIM card invalid" and phone restarts.
I have not had this message is several days.
have you tried a different ROM?
use RootBox 4.2.2
ive been using it no problems and amazing battery life, not to mention the smoothness and pure awesomeness of the ROM

Yes. Originally this problem happened shortly after flashing codename. With this ROM, a black screen would show and then "gallery is unresponsive."
I reverted to AOKP and flashed updated version. Now camera app opens, shows the take picture etc. buttons on bottom but where the actual picture should be stays black and gallery goes unresponsive.
Have also tried deleting camera apk and re-flashing a downloading camera zip file. Same problem.

Cleared data and cache for the app. Same issue.
Very frustrating issue.
Fast boot flash back to stock. If camera is still acting up then its more than likely hardware issues

do you get any messages after boy saying something like: com.xxx.xxx has unexpectedly stopped. this has happened to me to. you have to format your sd card. try that
remember to backup all your important file from the sd card to your computer EXCEPT the DCIM (where a'll your pictures and stuff are. anything related to the gallery don't backup)
Why not try a complete wipe.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
In that order
then fastboot back to stock as mentioned by namtombout.
If that doesn't work it is indeed a hardware issue.

I don't think I've got any of these messages..
I will attempt the complete wipe per instructions in this thread (simply working up to the time that I actually will go through with it). I'm thinking I must have restored some system settings/camera settings from titanium backup during one of my recent ROM changes.
My battery life has been awfully poor lately as well....wondering if the restore of some system setting screwed with that as well...
Hopefully the complete wipe will get things back in order.

after you complete the wipe, DO NOT use titanium backup to restore your apps (even user apps). try fresh ones from the play store and see if that helps. if not im afraid you will have to go back to stock and then root again, flash a new ROM again, and then download your apps from the play store.
this problem has happened to me with my old phone (Samsung Captivate) but the formatting of the SD card fixed that for a while, when it started again i did the steps above and the phone worked better than ever.
