Develop Bugs

Anyone having AOKP camera issues?

I'm experiencing an issue with all recent versions (34 on) where stock camera doesn't work. All I get is a gray screen. I've tried clearing data to no avail. I've also installed camera fx which gets the camera working, but the orientation is broken. Don't understand this bug, but it has transcended 2 different Epic's.

You should have asked this in AOKP thread, instead of making this one

I had that problem. You need to use a new kernel. There is a shadow kernel or samurai available that will fix it.
It's been my experience that the camera generally doesn't work on CM or CM based roms. It escapes me why the kernel developers manage to get the camera working but the cm team doesn't.

I ended up flashing a nandroid of previous working version then flashed milestone 5.2 and the new gapps and the camera works! I didn't clear anything just flashed right over it. I've noticed the camera has been flakey on the CM9 builds, like the flash and focus which are know bugs. I haven't read anyone with this issues I was experiencing. I've been lurking these forums since November of 2010 when I got my Epic, and have been really successful rooting and roming because of it. However I just started to post in the forums so I apologize for posting here. Thanks for all the help.

Flaky is right. Even when the camera "works" on CM9 builds it doesn't work properly. Saying it is sluggish is too kind. Focus is a problem. And try using the camera after taking a video- (hint, it hardly works at all.)

Honestly the camera is the only issue the keeps the CM9 builds from being daily drivers. Otherwise I love the them. A lot of people complain about battery life, but honestly I think having the roms running them is worth it. I even bought a 3500mA battery off amazon for 8 bucks to circumvent the extra battery drain, which also happens to be the best 8 bucks I've spent in a long time. Once the Devs get the camera bugs ironed out I won't see a need to go back to the gingerbread builds.

Broken camera is a Hallmark of CM.
I really loved ICS otherwise, and managed to overlooked the ridiculous battery drain, which I believe has a little to do with shotty sprint service over the past two weeks. Constant loss of signal.
A 3500mah, really? I should have done some better research. I just bought a pair of 1800's off eBay for $10. Kinda disappointed to hear that there is a 3500 that works. And for $8.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Yup 8 bucks shipped with Prime membership! Sprint has been upgrading the towers in my area for 8 weeks now and from what I've been told that won't be done until the end of June. The service is so bad now that it's unbearable. Dropped calls, crippling data speeds, sms not going out and or being received. I've complained to Sprint and have been told that the my account will receive a credit once the LTE rollout is complete. I'm not going to hold my breath, but if they don't I might start shopping around for a new carrier as my contract will be up.

Cyanogen Mod question

I flashed, CM9 to my sisters epic 4G and now I like CM so I want it for my ET4G but I want to know how it compares to Goodness ICS ROMs.????

read the cm9 thread in the dev section, does everything you use on your phone work? it'll probably work as a daily then... if so are there posts from people saying its caused their phone to explode, molest their pets, go on strike, become sentient??? no? ok, then flash it, its cyanogenmod dude, it doesn't differ that much from device to device, that's kind of the point of it...

CM9 is good for daily use
I used CM9 for my daily use since alpha 3 launched. It will definitely work for your daily use. I never had any serious issues. It runs greats, my battery life with the proper settings was great. I know i used to have trouble with chrome but I think that's a thing of the past.I ended up using opera, so I never checked to see if chrome worked again or not. However, chrome is working fine on the AOKP milestone 6 Rom, so I would assume it works.
Only other thing I would say is like the other guys said, try a bunch of different Roms till you find what you like. All the devs have done a great job and as long as you have the skills to flash between different Roms I would highly recommend giving any Rom that you think looks interesting a spin for a day or so until you find your favorites.

FF18 very .... uhh?

Am I the only one whom finds mostly all FF18 builds unresponsive at times? The touch keys don't work randomly... on the latest ota and the leak? Is this kernel related? I hope so.... I find myself constantly trying to find the right one buy no luck... this is perhaps a useless thread but I feel as if this ICS for phone is not even worth it at times

Why is it that all of these types of things are always categorized as ICS issues when the majority of us dont suffer from often if at all...?
Just make a checklist of consistent variables....

I've had this on both stock and AOSP. I know my way around rooms and completely wipe before every flash even. its been happening to me since the early FF** kernel based builds. Frankly I think Samsung could have worked longer on this but something tells me it was rushed at the end.

Was mostly just flippin $#!t
Ive just been lucky I guess.. Ive got a big lib folder I carry around with me...
Any little problem Ive gotten has been easily remedied, and Ive never once had the weird problems that some get no matter what.
Maybe because mine was assembled in the states? Idk...
I do know that Placebo, placebo you want.. Worst case the flash doesnt take and you have to flash a backuo...
Most likely youll say, "this is a stock kernel?!"

Fixed for ya.
Agree 100% though.

Sorry to say this but I'm running my super nova rom and haven't had any problems what so ever. Nothing looked what you're describing at all. Any chance the phone is having a hardware factory issue since so many others have experienced the same thing?

No its definitely an ICS issue on certain devices. As it doesn't happen on Gingerbread roms based at all. Ive noticed certain users complain about the issue, maybe its different hardware models? Ill wait a bit to see what the developers cook up.... I'll give your super Nova ROM a try.. once all that fails I'll go get a device exchange LOL

Who said anything about insurance? I'm very good friends with the store manager. He always performs a device exchange as long as it hasnt had water damage. And no, I'm pretty sure the issues I'm having are real as pressing the power button and having the unlock screen process done but captive buttons not work for 5 seconds or more, isn't a bad flash. Even on shubs one click to FF18.
Btw check list done.... settings are always left stock. Phone seems okay unless I can surgicly open it to check on internals lol... ! Yes I'm okay myself.other than my messed up fist from a drunk fist fight.

I've had the same issue with most ICS E4GT roms, and doubt it is anything user related. Don't pay attention to the trolls. I've fully wiped my phone and it made no difference. Hopefully someone can figure it out. It's pretty annoying having to turn the screen on a off twice to get the capacitive buttons working.

The only thing I notice is a bit of lag. I didn't have this issue before but it isn't so horrendous that I wanna destroy it. Ill be switching to a rom after I find one with absolutely no bugs. Oh an can I flash ICS to ICS now?

You can if you use the latest agat kernel built from source but remember not all developers have built in the new safe kernel! So you would always have to odin the kernel if it isnt baked with the ROM.
For reference, here is the link to source built kernel.

Ok heres my input. I believe that its a combination of software and hardware. Remember response time of soft buttons depends on how stable the rom is and also whats running at the time they where pressed. Ok say like you have a few apps it the background running and you turn off your screen. Once the screen come on the buttons may take a second to come on because the screen has more of a priorty than the soft button. Its all in how you look at it. And with apps running it slows that process down greatly because a combination of the proccesor and ram being used. Remember not notice but our soft buttons have a back light and they are press sensitive. So with them working together plus all the other stuff i explained timing would be off. But think about it. Lol is it really a depressing ordeal lol. I actually witness it and continue on without even thinking about it. Sorry for rambling lol

[Q] What are we waiting on?

What are we waiting on in order to get JB and AOSP?
I'm asking out of pure curiosity. I looked in various threads to try and find the answer. I don't think I get it. Anyways. Thanks for any info!

Seems to me that the devs for lgog want to release a "good" rom (everything working). So that is what we are waiting on.

There is already JB for LGOG but there are reports that people can't send messages.

There's a jb ROM from Houston that Everything works except making calls

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

Until someone has posted a working rom in our Sprint Development page I would strongly recommend not flashing anything cloned from another OG version. Xbox is working tirelessly under very stressful conditions(St. Louis) to give us a CM version of JB. The biggest hindrance is that are phone is different from the other OG. Actually, all the OG are different from each other from one aspect to another. We all share the same CPU. So booting isn't an issue. But, after that it really is difficult to get each thing to work. The Sprint version uses its own CDMA which is not the same as what they use in Korea. At&t has its own camera, the Japanese version is waterproof(seriously), the Canadian version wishes it was an American.
If you flash any of these roms(unless triple confirmed it is safe) you can really jack stuff up. You need to not only back up your phone but I would back up your partitions.
My strongest recommendation if you are merely a hobby flasher is to wait. I know it has been a tough long road but the finish line is in sight. We will have source for our phone(LS970) in a month. We will have the OTA in a month. If you flash anything Korean be prepared to face the consequences if things don't go well.
So, what are we waiting on? The simple and most honest answer is LG. Send them an email, blast them on twitter, blast Sprint to have them blast LG, call the development department, email multiple sources, write a letter to the Android sites online. Maybe they could write a story about it. If you put their feet to the fire they will have to say something. But, be kind and sane in your approach. The problem of getting our phone updated is not because of lack of development. We have some great guys.

im running Task650 AOKP 4.2.2 on my S3 and for the past few months pandora radio will not let me type in new stations any ideas why this happens? i have uninstalled the app and reinstalled many times but still no luck. i also have 4g here in alaska but with this rom i only connect to 3g if you have any ideas that will help please let me know

Might be a app issue, I can't add new stations either. And I was in a different ROM. I add from computer and there there, kinda crappy... Lol

Unless you provide a logcat, there's nothing Task can do about it and has to assume it's a problem with the app. He doesn't provide support for 3rd party app (nor should he).
