[Q] No apps after updating to jellybam, suggestions? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I recently upgraded to jellybam and noticed it was missing almost everything that I
needed to function with on a day to day basis and this is okay, except for some things.
I already looked allover XDA about this and noticed there really is not much on the topic
so I feel help is needed at this point.
What I am wondering the most is where is the video player...?
Also, the camera layout on jellybean sucks, is there anyway to change this?
Any help is appreciated!! Thank you

Well i guess the rom comes with lesser apps than a rom would from the factory. As for a video player i have super video and i'm sure theres a few other good ones. About the camera layout, i don't think you can change that.
Edit: And i am also running jellybam.

Did you update to a custom rom, or did you update through kies. Either way, when you updated you could have restored your phone through google and all your apps shoudl have re-downloaded onto your phone. if thats not the case, open up your play store, hit the menu button, and tap on my apps. after that you'll see a list of all the apps you've downloaded and you can re-download them.
as far as the camera on jellybean not being great, you could always flash a different camera onto your phone if you are rooted. 4.2 camera is super nice.
and i just started using MX player and its pretty nice. Free and has a lot of codecs.

In a lot of Roms you have to reflash "gapps" search XDA for latest version. It is all the Google apps.

The jellybam rom comes with gapps i think he's talking about some samsung native apps.

If you updated to a stock firmware you should get the GAPPS automatically now if you install a 3rd party ROM like AOKP or CyanogenMod you have to install GAPPS manually just Google it you can find lots of information on it online

[Q] Camera gone....help?

So i got my S3, and rooted it. Once rooted and ROM were applied, i noticed my camera was gone. The app disappeared. everytime i tried downloading a different app from google play, once i opened the app, a message appeared saying "Camera Not Found" the only way my camera would work and let me take picture is if i used instagram. and id rather not, since i cant white balance and focus how i like. But anyway, HELP PLEASE? Sorry im new to this site, if im doing something wrong im sorry.
What ROM did you flash?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Firstly, what ROM are you using? It may not have the camera working.
Secondly, the normal Android camera application (not the same as the stock TouchWiz one for the S III, which may be absent in your ROM anyway if it's not TW-based) is part of Gallery, a Google app mainly available from the gapps package where custom ROMs are concerned; if this isn't baked into your ROM, you'd need to install it separately.

You beat me to it! I just saw on twitter! lol
I left my good ole Nitro at home when I got the N4 for Christmas. I'm curious for reports on the performance and stability of this rom. CM10 never really got to where it needed to be imho.
any word on the stability of the 10.1 nightly?
OMG! Just checked, thank you very much, Ricardo Queirera.
yyyyeeeaaaaahhhhh !!!!! at last !! testing this out when i get home ! will report back later ! its like XMAX all over again :good::laugh:
I installed it, seems pretty smooth. So far, it's great. I'll be hammering it throughout the day and see what I can break.
i havne't used CM's new method of updating from inside about phone, is it working well or should i stick with booting into CWM and do it the old way. If it is working well, what is the proper procedure for updating through about phone menu on CM 10 -- > 10.1
@KronicSkillz,
At the very least, I believe it'd be prudent to wipe /system and flash the newest 4.2 gapps (if you had the 4.1 gapps installed before). To be honest, though, it might be best just to back up all your app data in TiBu and do a factory reset to make sure there's no weird bugs. I've never tried upgrading from CM10 straight to CM10.1, so I couldn't tell you if you'd experience any issues. You should also have the most recent version of CWM installed because there was a point in time where it didn't play well with 4.2 (at least on the Nexus). I'm not sure if the TWRP that was kanged for the Nitro ever got up to 4.2 support or not.
Once you've gotten on CM10.1, though, the nightly updates through cmupdater are nice, but Cyandelta (available on Play Store) is better imho because it only downloads about a 10mb delta and merges it with the previous nightly's install zip instead of downloading the whole 140mb zip every day.
Is it just me or are we missing the developer options in the settings? Otherwise... This has been running 100% smoothly for the past 2 hours for me!

to enable developper options in 10.1, go to about phone and tap the build version till it says developper options enabled, As for the proper way to install, wipe data, wipe cache, dalvik and system ... flash 10.1 and enjoy

Edit, sorry, this comment said the same thing the post just above said
gotta say this babys pretty fast considering its the 1st nighlty build, love the drawer and homescreens transition options, very smooth. Its still missing some cool features tho (will come in next builds, well hope so..) like the lockscreen widgets and the photosphere feature for the camera that lets you take 360 degree pictures ... gotta say the keyboard is a little laggy in my case, i used to have the 4.2 keyboard on my 4.1 rom and it would run way smoother, oh well its the 1st build after all!
EDIT: Just found out the lockscreen widget are there, just figured out that you need to swipe to your left or your right on the edge of the screen on the lockscreen, awesome ! (feel a little nub i didnt find that out before)
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda app-developers app
I don't know about lockscreen widgets, but I know for a fact that photosphere isn't part of AOSP. Therefore, there's no way to really run it on a non-nexus. It's the same with picasa sync in gallery. As far as I know, lockscreen widgets are part of AOSP and there shouldn't be any issues, but I don't have my Nitro to confirm.

well i know for a fact photosphere works on some device even under cm10 with 4.2 camera flashed by changing a parameter in the build.so so the rom thinks you re using a nexus and the option shows up. That being said, im confident we ll eventually be able to use this feature. :fingerscrossed:

i have verified with a cyanogenmod team member that it is recommended to boot into CWM manually to install new 10.x rom installs. They said once 10.1 is installed then it's safe to use the CM updater in phone for nightlies but the first 10.0x > 10.1 should be done manually.
That's an excellent news!! Unlike d*m* s*h*t LG, CM never leave us behind. Hopefully 10.1 will come with a stable kernel, instead of that crappy one as with 10
I noticed no option for Photosphere...will it flash over and work if we flash another 4.2.1 camera/gallery? Anyone try this yet? I've been running from a clean install without hitches for a few hours so I'm kinda hesitant and figured I'd see if anyone tried before I do. If not, I'll probably do a backup and give it a shot and see in the morning.
hmm, on your phones guys, camera works? on my doesn't opening, i'm using another from play store...

Google Keep crashing

Has anyone tried the new Google Keep app? Mine just FCs on launch.
Sent from my SPH-L900
Yeah works perfectly for me try to un installed and reinstall
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I am not on your phone platform, but found this thread searching for others with Google Keep problems. I installed Keep last night, fired it up and it crashed. Tried again,, crashed. Rebooted the phone and when it came back it was like it had lost a bunch of 'data files' . By that I meant the phone acted as though it was factory reset, yet all apps were there. 90% of them would not run and those that did acted like they were just installed and had none of my settings. Restored data only via Titanium Backup and had to reinstall a couple apps. I may wait awhile and see if it was just me that had this kind of failure.
It works fine for me.
It's not all that exciting, but it's functional.
same here, used to work with stock 4.0.4 but since I have installed (from scratch) Alliancerom 4.1.2 on my S2, it keeps crashing on launch...
any idea ?
Are you guys having issues while running a custom ROM? I had issues with Keep on NoWizAOSP until the developer tweaked something and then it started working.
I had problems with NoWiz. Other ROMs worked fine w/Keep. I'm going to grab the latest NoWiz and see if it's working now.

Using jellybomb Rom v15 and Google keep works fine for me. Not sure it will replace evernote but time may tell.

The latest NoWizMod (v1.4.6) has fixed the issue for me. It's a handy little cloud note app. I'm expecting Google to add a lot more features as time goes on.

Not on SGN II, but same behavior. Crashes on launch, every single time. Installed, re-installed, rebooted, et al. It's not liking the Holics rom I'm running it seems... That is strange... and would make it the first ever app to dislike this rom. Thoughts anyone ?

if it can help, in my case it was caused by a customised Google Play (official Google Play but with a dark theme) bundled in Rom Alliance.
I had to uninstall it and reinstall the standard Google Play and it worked.
hope it will help.
Thanks for the hint. I don't have a themed or homebrewed version of Play, so no luck there. I can find random reports here and there of people experiencing this, on various phones with various - but always cooked - roms. So my guess is that Keep calls on something possibly not included in some of the roms out there... Speaking out my **s of course, as I have in fact no idea
Guess I'll have to wait a few days/weeks and see what the deal is.

I figured out the problem. You have to edit your build.prop file located in the system folder. You have to be rooted to do this.
Look for the line that says ro.build.type=user and change it to ro.build.type=userdebug
Then make sure to reboot the device.
Now it should work. I was having the same problem. ?

Evo 4g w/CM 7 and FFC apps

Hi, new here, not new to flashing ROMs though. I've always been able to figure out my problems out on my own or through intensive searching. Today is not the case, hence joining the forum. One of the main reason's I activated this phone recently was to voice chat with Google Hangouts and I was already paying the extra $10 a month for sprint's data usage on my previous "dumb" phone. Everything worked fine on the stock rom, I just wanted more out of the phone.
I have a Sprint HTC Evo 4g. It has hboot 2.18 so I unlocked it through htcdev. Rooted it with s-on and installed Cyanogenmod. I want to retain all the phone's capabilities so I went with the stable 7.2 after learning the drivers for 4g and the FFC aren't supported after gingerbread. All the cameras work as they should in the stock loaded camera app. I update Google talk to hangouts and when I try to use video chat, I get "Camera error." I attempted to use Tango, and the front facing camera doesn't start up either. Audio works fine for both apps. My next steps included trying CM 7.2 nightly and CM7.1; I got the same error. Through further research I found a gapps package with Google Talk with video. Updated this to hangouts, got the same error. Uninstalled the updates and tried the video chat; it worked to my surprise however, I cannot video chat with anyone who has updated to hangouts only with the original Talk app.
I've searched and searched and found references to the problem with no solution. One source even mentioned the newer apps are not compatible with some older roms, but this didn't make sense to me since everything worked on the stock 2.3.5 rom. I found one instance of a solution but the source for the fix is no longer in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22735475&postcount=989
Any advice? Any way to log when the front camera fails? I really want to stick with a stable rom, preferably CM.
Just tried the Thundershock rom and I get the same error... I'm wondering if I should just chalk it up to the apps not supporting older roms. OR, I'm flat out missing something....

Bump.
Still no luck with CM7. I tried Digital Karma V9 and the camera works in Hangouts, but Hangouts fails to load (force close error) after I do anything else on the phone after a fresh reboot.... CaptainThrowback's rooted stock rom works perfectly, but the rom is lacking in customization. I'm guessing I could mod it to my taste but I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to this whole ordeal. Only in a perfect world, I can have everything, huh?
For now, I have opted to go with CM 7.2 until I can play different ROMs some more. I may not have any time this weekend like the past weekend so I just need a basic functioning phone for the time being...

Bump.
Running Classic rom with some success as long as I don't reboot the phone. Otherwise I get the same error as in DigitalKarma. Simple fix is to uninstall and reinstall the Hangouts update. Not a Sense fan though...
Still un-answered...
Well, I've went with Skype (modified by theoso) on CM7.2 since it seem to be the only ROM to really cater to me. ADW launcher, absolutely stripped down, etc. Skype works as a compromise to ROM choice and Hangouts. I'd say I'm happy to have something rather than nothing. Especially for a phone whose forum support is a thing of the past.

This is just an early alpha, a test to see if the frameworks will run correctly.
The nav-keys are there in-case HW keys are not functional so feedback can still be given and they can be disabled by removing:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
in build.prop, this text entry turns the on-screen softkeys on and removing it will disable them
Edit: the next version-up will be far more 'complete' this was just built today on a CM10.1 base that was just built today :x
No more updates?

I was able to setup Google in Browser with my GMail account, but......
And when I try to start playstore after installing the apk,, it starts then goes back to the icon. I think because it needs the Google account info first.
I do have all the other recommendations in FAQ working, including root, etc.

Go to this page. Create an account to allow download of the Google apps installer. Make sure you enable all of the settings including ok to adding Google framework. After doing all of this you will see a slew of Google downloads including the playstore app. My mistake was locating an apk file and installing standalone. That will not work. I uninstalled that APK and used the link I show. Then it works

I am an old time MIUI user back in my Nexus One days when I left IPhone for my first Android. Coolest MIUI stuff is the ultimate amount of themes out there. It does take a lot of extra effort in customizing the way you like a setup, but I find MIUI so refreshing compared to the typical stuff available. I actually find this really responsive including consistent 32Mps download speeds speedtest.net in my home here in Las Vegas. To bad more developers here aren't into working with MIUI. Even though it's still using 4.2.x, everything I need works, including Samsung WatchOn that was posted here on another ROM as a standalone recovery installation with a Kit Kat 4.4.x ROM.
Have you tried the full latest MIUI download for the I9505. Been trying to download that for the last three days. REALLY slow site
Miss the days when there were those English packs that pretty much weeded a lot of the Chinese stuff out, but I can live with that too :good:
Edit: Just saw your join date here same as me...Jan 2010 and you also had the Nexus One. Probably ran into some time or another back in those olden days if I did a search here......

OK, a new update is coming tomorrow.
Now that I understand this phone a bit more I can do a more stable version with the next revision.
I'm going to also include the software camera that comes with Xiaomi phones as well, I'll need feedback on it so I'm going to put it in another flashable zip independent of the download link for MIUI.
Also 4.2.2 is cool and all that but I've been prepping a 4.4 base for MIUI v6 as well and working on a solution for OTA update as well.

I am totally sold on going back to MIUI. I forgot how much custom stuff was possible. So include me. More than happy to test stuff too before posting if you want help. Spent three days trying to download from the MIUI world site the slighter later, but bloated version which I assume would have been compatible. I9505. But failed at installing in recovery. I have one app that refuses to work correctly with 4.3 or 4.4 updates, but works perfectly under 4.2, but I can live with updates to newer. I basically have to delete cache files everytime before starting the app. Annoying, but do-able.
PS...what local folder are themes that are downloaded stored in. I couldn't get a .mtz file to install when I manually went on the MIUI world site. Using the THEME app on the phone works. Just have to get past the Chinese texts to figure out how to individually apply separate items such as lock screens etc.
EDIT: The prior MIUI theme installers allowed to pick and choose what aspects of a theme you wanted to install. Could not see how to do this currently, unless I'm missing something.
Keep up the good work...thanks!!!
