[Q] Camera Crashing on Custom Roms

Hello,
I don't have permission for posting in dev section so I'm asking my question here (yes,I did go through the forum n google to find a solution)
From the time I've started using custom roms,my camera app is not working properly. It crashes after 3-4 shots n my phone reboots. My phone freezes on the preview screen for a few seconds n then restarts. At first I thought its a rom issue but I've faced this same problem on reflex s,rcmix 2,leedroid 2.5 and SGBS and this problem never existed in the original rom.
What could be causing this? I'm using s off desire with 1gb ext partition (created using clockwork recovery screen)..
appreciate the help
thanks

Did you do full wipe before install ROM ?
If not, please do so.
If yes, I don't know the answer.
You can try install default ROM and start all over again though.

hello
thanks for the reply,I always do a full wipe when installing a custom rom..but don't know why this issue...
I'm scared to try the stock rom as I don't know what my original country was as I bought my phone from the local market without any warranty...!

someone...??

thats disappointing

try the sense 2.1 camera - it should work. To be honest I never had this problem when trying those sense-based ROMs, so no other idea.

Try flashing a newer/different radio

thanks for the replies..I didn't know the radio could have anything to do with the camera...will update n test for 2days n rite back
I'm using sgbs rite now with sense 2.1 camera...before this I had rcmixs,reflex s,Lee droids...all had similar issue,some more than the other..
BTW off topic does anyone know how I can get only sense 3 weather on sense 2.1? And which is a good sense 3 rom with stock android lock screen working...as sense 3 lock screen n caller screen is kinda annoying!
thanks

Buggy after Firmware flash

So, ive gotten a lot of junk on my phone recently so i decided to reflash the .62 Firmware. Now, after some days of use, every STOCK app has grown buggy. Gallery not loading pics, browser has infinite loading time, and widgets doesnt work properly.
I run Doomkernel v11 if it makes a difference.
When i reboot though, everything is fixed for a day or so. After that day; the problem returns.
What should i do ? Reflash Firmware ? Get a new kernel ?
Any help is very appreciated ;-)

Get a new custom ROM that is based on stock .62 firmware like what I'm using (JokaWild ROM >>> link is on my signature). When I flashed .62 I noticed those bugs and lags quickly so I flashed custom ROM to fix those things. And now, I'm very happy overclocked at 1.4ghz max and min of 576mhz and is not a battery drainer! ftw!

If your theory was to be true, then how can it be that the stock ROM that followed with the firmware was buggy too ? (using SE Tweaked now)

GT-S5660M ROMs?

Are there any Galaxy Gio GT-S5660M (Canadian) ROMs currently in development? Arpeggiomod is a nice rom, but I hate Gingerbread. To add, ny stock ROM is faster than Arpeggiomod. I know I probably can't do any better, but I still have a good 2 years left of my phone contract and I want my Gio to be fast, fluid and responsive. I have tried ROMs for other models of the Gio, but they either don't work or they don't appeal to me. Getting to the point, I was wondering if anyone would be up to the challenge and develop a ROM specifically for GT-S5660M. Can someone help me start and learn to develop a ROM? It'd be really appreciated.

any rom that is not flashed by ODIN but in recovery can be used, the only thing is that it isnt called a s5660m model anymore, but every hardware works.

Please, only say "every hardware works" when you ACTUALLY HAVE an GT-S5660M.
OR at least understand what the thread-opener wants to say, before just throwing vague and meaningless stuff around.
The thread-opener (and for the novices in general) can withdraw nothing useful from your post that concretely will help him flashing his S5660M without causing some major problems to GT S5660M (for example the radio).

maybe you should consider not replying useless posts.
I think, regarding your posts, I have a bit more experience than you.
''any rom that is not flashed by ODIN but in recovery can be used.''

Click to collapse
and there's nothing wrong about this sentence, as its just the truth.
Radio is different, indeed, but the radio does not get overwritten within the .zip file that is flashed via custom recovery. only in odin-flashable .tar.md5 files theres a file called 'Amss" wich is the actual radio file, and is different between S5660 and S5660M models.
however, these files are only for odin, and can not be flashed in recovery.
so, my point is just right.
as long as you don't flash roms with ODIN, nothing can happen, as it does not overwrite the radio files, as I already said before. roms via recovery don't flash anything that is different with the S5660 or S5660M.
maybe you are the novice-wich-doesn't-understand here. you are the one throwing vague and meaningless stuff around. you should consider aquiring some more knowledge before talking like that.

Hey there, I have a 5660m (5 of them!) and have flashed many a rom. Arpegio was great for its time, I believe darkshado created it (Guessing, its been a while). However, there are soooo many great roms out for this device now. As previously stated, and 100% agreed with, if you have recovery installed, you can use the 5660 roms too. A year ago, when I got mine, there was a modem differential. However that has been explained in the above posts. I can think of several that I prefer but am hesitant to state any one. I started with cy4noobs, then moved to McClaw's ICS (I hope I'm giving proper cedit to dev's), MIUI is a unique interface, there are so many. I'm pretty sure there is a list of roms that will work......gimme a sec.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535320. I've been through almost everyone of these (i'm a flasher, in the legal sense :laugh. Some may seem outdated but still work well, make sure you look through the dates, and the logs to make sure you have the functionality you wish to achieve. Happy flashing!:victory:

You mentioned that most ROMs work - I've tried Maclaw's AOSP ICS and each version or update (Beta 1, Beta 2, Beta 3 and RC1) fails to work. By work I mean that it flashes properly and boot properly but it freezes on the lock screen for a moment then a screen saying 'Encryption Failed' appears and asks me to factory reset the phone with a button below. The button clicks but doesn't do anything and when I manually factory reset via recovery, the same screen appears after boot!

Id like to try CM. As much ive read, 7.2 should be the choice. But there are so many CM 7.2 based roms. Can anyone give some advice. At the moment im on Enhanced263 rom, that is much better than stock.

JellyBread looked and worked nice. But then batch restored my apps with Titanium. Somewhere it freezed. I let it be. But after my first reboot, JellyBread freezed on bootscreen. Then i reinstalled it. Rebooted several times, to be sure. And again after i restored some apps, it didnt boot.

[Q] Any other solution other than reverting back to 4.1.2 for lag issue ?

I am fed up with the lag issue in this GRAND duos. tried all these methods
(1) reverting back to amf7
(2) flashing bna4
(3) flashing ubmk3
(4) disbaled stock gallery app
(5) disabled as many as possible official apps....
All the solutions proved to be just temporary. After 24 hours to 4 days it starts lagging again. Now I am sick of flashing firmwares.
My phone is under warranty up to 19 April. If I go to service center and ask for replacement of motherboard/phone, will they replace just on the complain "my this phone hangs a lot. I have googled and found that many users have flashed other firmwares yet phones lag. These users say that this problem has no solution but replacement of motherboard?" (I cannot tell them that I have flashed other firmwares myself).
If any user with same problem has flashed custom ROM, please share your experience.

Bro, though I've never flashed a custom rom on my grand , but my Grand is rooted and I've flashed a lot of mods on it , but my Grand never lags . It is very fast and buttery smooth . I want to ask you that wether you directly started flashing custom roms on your galaxy grand or in the beginning you just rooted and flashed some mods like me ?

@MohdGhufran
From what date is your last stock ROM?
I'm having the same problem. But I've used the CM11 on another occasion and did not face any problem. Then I went back to Stock and updated the same last week.
The phone was very bad (lag). So I returned to the CM11, but the lag continues.
I'll try an earlier stock and after the CM11.
I'll post the result here.
(Sorry for my English by Google)

@Mohdgufran - I agree... I m running umbmk1 ... after 3 to 4 days with out restart the phone starts to lag...
The only solution temporarily is to clear the ram in task manager...
Stay wid 4.2.2 and use a ram cleaner (it sucks a bit battery but its the only possible non technical solution)

Its the stock rom that is cursed..:/

I think u need a reverse gear.. First back to 4.1 version then flash with 4.2 November month version then use cm 11 custom rom.. Its fast.. Gud battery back up.. No lag.. And all with dual sim.. I hope this will work for u..

Try greenify and the cleaner both are small apps (around 1 mb) and it will speed up your phone .....

I have not flashed any custom ROM on this phone. Neither have I rooted it. This lag issue started since my bro got an OTA update. So, as per solutions/guidance available on xda, I just flashed official firmwares (which proved to be just temporary solutions)

it is not like that stock ROMs are not good. It is just a problem with Galaxy Grand Duos. I had rooted my Galaxy R and Galaxy S Advance and had flashed Custom ROMs. All the custom ROMs had some limitations / missing features (like USB PC connection, wifi tethering, USB tethering, etc). This is why I do not want to flash any custom ROM on Galaxy Grand.

Yes I had tried this. Went back to 4.1 and the upgraded to 4.2. This too proved to be a temporary solution.
I don't want to flash custom ROM but now it seems like I will have to flash the same.

I solved my problem by not installing facebook and twitter as well as also installed battery saver pro which kills apps running in background for every five minutes..

[Q] Paranoid Android 4.5 beta 3 unfixable lingering calling bug

Hello everyone,
I'm posting on here because I can't find any solution to my dilemma which I am sure that other people in the AOSPA legacy community have also experienced. I have been using Paranoid Android on my T989 since the 4.4.3 update and I have regularly updated my roms since then. Somehow ever since I updated my phone to 4.5 beta 3, something prevents me from being able to hear or be heard during regular phone calls around an hour after I restart my phone.
I have tried everything to try to make my phone back to normal, I have updated my versions of AOSPA, I have downgraded to stable versions, I have gone to a debloated stock rom (which worked perfectly fine but who likes touchwiz android 4.1.2?) and back to AOSPA, I tried the latest Carbon nightly rom and the problem persisted, I have wiped my internal memory, cache, davlik, etc. multiple times. I am at a total loss as to what I should do to fix this issue. I'm currently running it on 4.6 beta 1 and I still have the issue.
I really love my GS2 and I don't want to part with it or have it running stock. Please help me.
I really appreciate it,
Chris

I've had the same issue , I was running the latest liquid smooth rom . I just flashed back to stock using Odin and all is fine on the stock rom . I just rooted again and am hesitant to install another kitkat rom for fear of this calling issue ........ Anyone else with this problem ?

I am also getting this problem on Slim 7.8....must be an audio-caf issue....Can someone go back to an old KK rom (one from earlier months) and see if they experience the same issue? Preferably cyanogenmod

I flashed to stock rom via oden and spent the weekend with the phone and all was good , I flashed to the latest cm-11 with no addons , stock cm-11 kernal and after an hour or so I lost call audio again . We must have done something to the phone in a previous rom cause not many people are having this issue . Now I have flashed about 75 different roms with no issue , I hope someone finds the problem cause I'm not to keen on the stock rom !

I've seen posted that snapchat was the cause of the no call audio problem we are having , I flashed the latest liquid smooth rom last night , download all my apps that I usually do except snapchat and I've had no issues with the calling bug . All is working great .
