Talk, Gallery, and Camera are NOT WORKING

When I try to open Talk, it says "Unfortunately, Talk has stopped."
When I open Gallery, it's fine. When I hit the camera button from within the gallery, it says "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped."
When I try to open the Camera through the Camera shortcut, it says "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped."
I think this happened after I flashed NexusHD 4.1, Talk stopped working right after I flashed it (I didn't care because I don't use it), I didn't notice the camera/gallery problem until today (a day or two later). I flashed 4.3 today hoping it would fix i t, it didn't.
Then I tried flashing CM10 Nightly, no luck. Then tried flashing an odexed rooted stock jb rom, still have the same problem. I have tried installig a different camera app, didn't work. I'm now on a factory image.
I did recently open up the phone to fix the power button, I'm not sure if I didn't reconnect something properly to cause the camera to stop working, but this shouldn't cause Talk to stop working right?
If anyone can help me out here that would be great!
Edit: The apps crash on startup.

What I noticed is that there is no Camera app under "All App", I've never checked if this was there when the camera did work but right now there isn't one.

2 stupid questions.. did you flash the gapps add-on? if you did, did you flash the right one?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but camera and gallery app shouldn't matter with the gapps, should it?

I always use the gapps on the ROM thread. And it still has problems even on stock ROMs so it is definitely not gApps. I have tried a rooted OTA ROM and I'm now on a rooted factory image, still not working.

If you can't find any solution and if you're willing to start everything over, do a SuperWipe.
Flash SuperWipe.zip erases EVERYTHING. That includes sdcard folder. This means that you can start over just by flashing this and then flashing ROM of your choice.
Hope that helps

Anybody use Talk? Does it try to use the camera on first start up? I don't have a picture on Google I believe. If Talk is trying to access the camera then maybe I did screw up when I opened it up.

Do you have a link?

Already done these things. And doesn't wipe data/system/ cache/dalvik, and then flash stock ROM kinda cover that?

Yes gallery and camera is in fact part of gapps I believe. Additionally Google merged the two gallery and camera into a single gallery2.apk. so you definitely need to flash gapps.

I don't follow. According on your first post you have flashed a custom rom. A "rooted odexed Rom" is not stock. Flash the official factory images to return to stock.

Well I'm on a rooted factory image now, I'm pretty sure the only thing different about it is that it is rooted, and I think deodexed. if you can link me to a untouched factory image that would be great. at this point I doubt itwould make a difference but there's not much else I can do besides opening the phone, which I can't do for another 4 days at least.

Yes it does go on Samsung screen.

And is the LED coming on at all?

This is a classic case of just not having a system to boot to. If I'm not mistaken the LED is not on and it most likely freezes at the galaxy s3 screen. Thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017470 will fix it

Mine did the same thing recently, but I did get a blue LED and a black screen after the Samsung logo. Either way, the fix you linked to should do it. It did for me.

The blue light and black screen usually means an incompatible kernel. Seen most with people using the toolkit to root jellybean.(flashes an insecure ICS kernel on jb rom)

I wiped the cache,delvik etc. Only did it once and did not restore any data. Is it possible for you to guide me on a step by step? Thanks.

If you don't format system, you installed CM10 over CM10.1. So too many system files was corrupted.
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2. Format System
3. Flash CM
4. Flash gapps
5. Reboot
BTW, there is not need to format/erase/reset it several times.

There is a need because 1 wipe won't necessarily clean everything completely or correctly. I've seen settings stick through a single wipe dozens of times. Just the other day I saw this guy post about how he wiped an ICS rom before flashing a JB and some lockscreen settings stuck.
I mean if you're ok with booting up and having errors and eventually still having to wipe again, then yes, its not necessary.

[Q] Anything other than a TW and my camera just wont work, Help?

Hi there!
I have had an s3 for a few days now and love it!.
Any TW rom and my camera works just fantastic.
Any cm10/aokp/miui/etc rom and I just cant use the camera no matter what app I use to try it, whether it be the built in app or camera360/etc.
Driving me nuts and would love someone to help me. Anyway research I have done hasnt told me what I'm doing wrong.
I wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system before each rom. I have tried different kernels but nothing has helped.
Any gurus out there have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

Your install process would be and please link the files you are flashing... I'll try and help you. I've seen a few people mention this the past couple days.

The most recent I tried to flash was Illusion v1.1.18 - (d2tmo, d2att & d2vzw) - 1|18|13 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037028
I downloaded Illusion-v1.1.18-d2tmo.zip and gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip.
I went into recovery which is twrp and the most recent version. I installed it with the goo.im app.
When in recovery I did:
1) Factory Wipe
2) Wipe Cache
3) Wipe Dalvik
4) Wipe System
I would then click Install and select the rom file, and after it succesfully flashed I would then flash the gapps file. All were successful.
I would then reboot and the rom would boot up fine. I setup my google account and all that then for the heck of it I would reboot.
I then would try the camera app and it would complain that it couldnt connect to the camera basically. I went into the play store and tried a free version of camera 360, puddle camera, etc and all would not work.
I went back into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik again, hopped on one foot, faced east, and clicked my heels together. Upon reboot the camera does not work.
I have wiped all that and tried to install [Kernel][JB] Leankernel: Minimalistic Kernel for D2TMO/D2ATT (AOSP) v2.3 [1/17/13] which flashed fine. Upon reboot I could change voltages to undervolt, mess with governors but cameras still do not work.
I have a backup of two TW roms (one stock) and both of the those roms work beautifully with whatever camera I try, including the built in/stock camera.
I hoped I didn't leave out something. If there is something I missed than I'm an idiot because it seems like I am really missing something.
Thanks for your help.

I don't see any reason your steps lead to that, the exact steps I take every time to flash. I'm researching but in the mean time, go to app manager and wipe cache and data from gallery... Are you using the same Gapps over and over on each try? Might wanna try a different set.

I did that earlier with no luck.
I just force stopped on gallery, wiped cache/data, rebooted, and I tried the camera only to get the same message.
Thank you for that tip but I will continue my research also.
Just because I looked at about phone.
Model of phone is SGH-T999 (just in case someone thinks I'm in the wrong forum"
Baseband version is T999UVDLJA
Kernel is of course 3.0.59-leanKernel
AOKP Version is Illusion v1.1.18 d2tmo
Build number is aokp-d2tmo-userdebug 4.2.1 (I truncated the rest)

I have downloaded this gapps twice for the last rom http://goo.im/devs/itsmikeramsay/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip.
For the miui rom there was a gapps that was specific to miui and had miui in the name. The miui rom's camera didnt work.
I'll look for a different gapps if that might be the problem but since I have tried a couple roms and a few different gapps I feel that might not be the issue.
I still will give it another try though. Just have to find another gapps to try.

try these just in case they're corrupted. http://d-h.st/dtk these are the ones I use

It had JB on it when I got it almost 2 days ago. I tried to do an OTA when I got it but it said I was up to date.
Let me do a restore to stock and see what version it is.

It was new, out of the box. I watched the guy unrap it. It is one of the newer grey metal color looking ones. It was not rooted. I did that. Should I do an Odin to bring the device back to complete stock and start from scratch?
Will take a while since I have no idea where to start with all that

Thats the best suggestion I have. Maybe someone else will step in with an idea.

Intro w/Problems CM10.1.0

Hello.
So I'm really new to all this Android custom ROMs and OS stuff. Loved the noobie video. Back when Sprint did their OTA of Gingerbread I was one of the lucky ones with the messed up GPS. I rooted. A friend recommended the CM10 custom ROM. So me knowing not much about it and he has more time to read/ do stuff with his phone, I did it. Didn't LOVE it, but it was nice.
Last night I get a OTA and in a middle of the night wake up for water daze just let the phone do its update. Now I'm @ CM 10.1.0 and I have lost ALL of my contacts, Text messages still show up but NONE have names. My google emails and the Play store do not work. I get a "clock has stopped working" screen every now and again, I'm also not getting ANY push notifications from any other apps.
I have not seen these issues listed yet.
If this is a known issue and I'm just not searching the right key words, please please point me in the right direction. I need this phone to work right.
I'm lost and I know no one local with an Epic.
I'm not sure what I need to list as far as version numbers or kernel numbers. If they are needed, let me know and I'll provide.
Thanks in advance.

From what I can see, you lost everything in an OTA from CM10 to CM10.1 and everything went bizarre, is that right? Then just download a clean CM10.1 package and THOROUGH WIPE (cache, data, system) and flash.
But keep in mind that this will clear out all your SMS, contacts, etc.
Sent from HTC Incredible S @ PACman v21

all of my apps were still there. But when I try to use Gmail or the Google Play store I get the "clock has stopped" pop up.
- No Contacts (no way to get to them either)
- No sync/ updating
- "clock has stopped" message
- No notifications from apps (Instagram, Facebook)
I DO get my NON gemail mail though.
I have the SMS backup/restore and all my contacts in saved to Google so wiping anything I'm okay with. But how do I get a "clean" version 10.1.0?
I'd assume I use the "stable' version over the nightly one?
I see a lot of people going back to 10 but I don't know how to do that.

http://get.cm/?device=epicmtd is where you get the CM10 & 10.1 zips. Recent CM10.1 nightlies are reported to have problems so stable build and M2 are recommended. Also, Bluetooth is wonky on all 4.2.x (in this case, CM10.1) ROMs so CM10 is the choice if you want it. Full wipe and flash. Reboot and good to go. Though I don't know whether restoring an SMS/contact backup works or not... Try for yourself!
Sent from HTC Incredible S @ PACman v21

Okay, well it looks like I just put it back to CM10. But there is NO Gmail Icon or Google Play Store Icon. I cannot remember how I did the SMS restore w/out the app. So I am back with a reflashed phone and NO info.

I heard @qbking77 has some awesome tutorial videos that guides you through installing CWM recovery and else. My steps here are:
1) Odin stock FC19 (or FC09)
2) Odin CWM 5.0.2.7 tar
3) Reboot to recovery via 3-key combination, wipe data and SYSTEM (!) and flash what you want
For details maybe check stickies and videos, I never followed these though

[Q] Why does a battery pull kill my stock rooted 4.1.2 SGH-T989 UVMC6 ???? [SOLVED]

If you are running stock rooted 4.1.2 UVMC6 on a SGH-t989, pull out your battery while the phone is on. Now, can you get past the 4G screen? If you can, is everything now FC on you?
This is frustrating. It seems all runs SO PERFECTLY. Until I pull my battery on the stock rooted 4.1.2. Then my phone will not boot or will not boot properly.
Anyone else have this?
*edit* Jamison's Infamous CACHE wipe fixed it. I ran the cache wipe script under TWRP. The phone rebooted itself. I waited a few minutes and it worked!!!
Get the script here!

I'll try this next time. I'm tired of restoring my phone just to have it randomly die. A few days later.
This time I restored with the stock rooted deodexed rom and not ODIN. Maybe it'll keep working...
Funny thing though. The ODIN stock for SGH-t989 works GREAT (minus one wierd FC ridden boot that fixed itself) on my wife's SGH-i727 Skyrocket. WiFi calling and all.

Why are do doing a battery pull? You can't power off normally? If the phone is freezing just hold the power button in for about ten seconds, and it will do a reboot no matter what it's frozen on. Then when it reboots you can do a normal reboot or power off.

Been having the same issues, sometimes it fixes it self. ill have to try the superwipe next time i have an issue.

Just hold the power button and wait for it to restart, it should work fine

Thats where it runs into problems. I get to the 4G screen and 99% on the loading bar. Then it just stays there no matter what. Battery pull. Power button reset. Nothing. Oh well. I installed the stock rooted rom and now do frequent nand backups. Haven't had a problem so far... I've tucked the cache wipe script on my sd card just in case...

It takes time to boot sometimes. I've waited around 10 - 15 minutes for it to get past the loading screen. I don't know if it's device related or update related but either way just give it some time your next go

this happens to me too using jedi mind trick X3 rom and the new jedi mind t X4 rom. stock wifi calling.

I fought through this problem too. Tried multiple recoverys and ROMs.
Superwipe/cachewiped using twrp - boots perfectly...

I had the issue today. I ran the cache wipe and it fixed it! I'll edit my op for people searching this.
