[Q] Camera not working!!

I just re downloaded the kinged shooter rom because the the camera wasnt working. It still doest work after reinstalling it. I didnt read any bugs with the rom so I installed [ROM] Synergy - [RLS1+GodMode 08/05/2011] - Now With Warm Sprinkles! I tried the camera and still doesnt work. Any suggestions?? Thanks...

What happens? Force close, black screen, won't open?
Does it happen on the stock rom?

sorry...Before I had a rooted stock rom and it worked fine.. Since I flashed a rom it doesnt work. It doesnt come on...black screen..

Are you sure it's the rom? Have you tried a nandroid restore of when it worked to rule out a hardware issue?
Also, are you doing a full wipe when you flash a new rom? If you're not wiping thoroughly or if you're restoring system data with Titanium Backup then it could cause issues.

I dont think its the rom anymore since I put 2 different rooms on there and its doing the same thing. I did do a full wipe and I did back a backup of the stock rom...

If it's happening across all roms even after wiping fully, then it's probably a hardware problem. I guess it's just a coincidence that you flashed the rom & it stopped working.
You'll need to unroot & take it to Sprint for a replacement.

[Q] Error restoring /system!?

Just tried to go back to a fresh backup(30 min old) and I get the message "Error restoring /system!" after a while. Happends on all my backups, with latest Rom manager and latest recovery. I saw a thread somewhere about deleting su-backup, file is not found when trying to with adb so I guess I don't have it. Couldn't find anything else about it, what can I do?

I had a similar problem. I solved it by using ext4 recovery instead of cwm.

You can't just restore the backup? or your phone isn't turning on and stuck on a white screen?

It's just the backup that fails, luckily I still had all ROM files on my SDcard so I flashed Ultimate Ace and now thats what I'm using. Root is back as well, however I still very much need all my apps and settings.
Would you please post a guide on ext4 recovery? I've gotten used to CWM, can you have them both at the same time?

To be honest there both pretty much the same as each other. I just use ext4 because ARHD flashed it when I first installed it. You cant run both together.

Same stupid error with 4EXT

There has to be some solution to this? I seriously can't be the only one with failed restores?

Is it every backup that fails? Or just the one. It could just be a bad backup. As for getting apps etc back, there's an app called "app extractor" (search all one word) which can actually pull your apps and data from a nandroid backup. I believe titanium backup can do this also. Hope this helps.

I just restored everything with TB, forgot it existed. But still, now I'm afraid of changing roms since backups doesn't work. And yes it's all backups, even my original rom backup which has worked before, I'm suspecting the issue came along with cwm 5

All I can suggest is to switch to the latest 4ext recovery. Download the 4ext app from the market and install from that.

I have tried with 4ext as well, it is now the recovery I mainly use because it provided alot more information. But it still gave me the same error, and every time I try I have to wipe and re-flash which means all my settings resets...

Word to the wise. Never restore any system data and settings

I never do, that's why I have to set them all over again, as for system apps I don't think I use any of them except market and gmail.

If someone's still interested: solved the problem with /format system. after that i could easily restore my backup w/o error.

[Q] Issues with rooted T989

My wife has a rooted SSGSII with the stock rom. I have the same phone but have a custom rom. She has alot of weird issues like sometimes freezes when a call comes in, her time in the system bar is often incorrect. She uses Magic Locker and sometimes her time in Magic Locker doesn't match the system time or they may both be off. I wonder if anyone has had this kind of issue. We have replaced the SIM card already. She used Titanium Backup to bring back her apps from her old Droid after rooting. I don't have any of these problems at all but she has crazy issues like this. Any thought about what might be contributing to these issues?

I've never experienced this before, but I have had major issues with titanium backup to the point that I no longer use it. Have you tried reflashing without using titanium?

No. We didn't flash her device. We just used TB to restore some of her apps after she rooted it. TB website said it would be OK to use it with a Stock Rom.

i would assume TB meant it would be okay if it was from the same device... its not best when you're restoring apps from a completely different phone. I you sure its completely stock? i would just go ahead and flash a custom rom.

Thanks for the help. Think I will flash a custom rom and see if that helps the issue.

Often times if you use TB to restore apps and previous app data, this will happen. Couple options. Try restoring just the app without the data, or use ODIN to flash a clean stock, then re-root and start over. A clean can resolve a lot of issues. I ODIN my phone at least once a month regardless.

[Q] Google Now driving me nuts!

Hello peeps!
I would be after some advice to help me figure out what the hell is up with Google Now!
First of all here is my setup... Stock JB (3.14.707.24), Unlocked Bootloader, CWM Recovery. (Tried some custom ROMs but found them a little unstable on my device, although tried plenty of ROMs while on ICS without problems)
Now, Google Now seemed to work fine, until I restored a Nandroid Backup. That, as far as I'm aware, shouldn't have caused a problem as the phone seems to be running as was before I installed a custom ROM. I "long press Home", Google Now opens, I get the commute card but nothing else. I can ask it things, such as weather and other searches that usually return a spoken reply, but nothing! It just brings up regular search results.
I have tried... Clearing data, uninstalling updates, signing out then back in to Google, disabling then re-enabling location services, changing language (using More Locale 2 from Play Store) back and forth between UK and US... Nothing seems to work. I didn't swipe my weather card away, it just ceased to appear. I have searched the web to find out if there was a problem with Googles' servers, but there doesn't appear to be.
Short of reinstalling the official RUU, which I'm not convinced will do the trick, I'm at a total loss for ideas, so I put it to the floor! Can anyone suggest anything that I haven't tried!
Thanks so much in advance!

Did you wipe your system and cache before installing the nandroid backup??
Im not sure whether that will do the trick... But its worth a try.

I'm pretty sure I did... I always make a point of performing a full wipe before installing either a ROM or backup, but perhaps I'll have another go. I might even bite the bullet and try a complete RUU install as I have everything backed up via My Backup Pro anyway. Will see what I can do on my next day off work!
Thanks for the advice.

Also which ROM are you using?

I'm on stock, just unlocked with CWM installed. No SU, no Busybox, no nothing. I doubt the recovery is causing the issue. I had tried ARHD 17.1 and Renovate 11 but both seemed to cause issues so I went back to stock via a Nandroid backup. May have another crack at a custom ROM, if that doesn't satisfy, I'll probably flash the RUU and see if that does the trick.
Fingers crossed! At least I haven't bricked the phone yet!

S Note Problem

Anybody has any idea how to rectify S Note error? Flashed and new rom and it gone wacky. Restore it with previously working rom wont work either. the error still occurs.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Looks like a wiping issue. Did you wipe dalvik/cache/data/factory reset and restored backup?
