Cyanogenmod help

I've looked through the forums for hours now and according to the noob video made by xda. I'm asking for help. I have an at&t Samsung galaxy s3 with the CyanogenMod installed (as the title implies) and to be honest its not worth the hastle. I'm having problems left and right. First off, the camera app that comes with the phone is missing. Or if theres a custom one. Its not included. I'm aware that I can find and install an external apk but I'll get to the problem with that in a bit. I followed very detailed instructions on installing the cyanogenmod and gapps and everything was fine (stable version) but the notifications suggested I update the mod so I did. Now I have the camera but my play store will not work. It opens for a split second then closes. Also, the file manager is gone. So I downloaded multiple file managers and it seems after first use that they can no longer open anything. I can't even access the files. I checked the superuser allowed and disallowed apps and everything seems fine. Now with the apk problem. Almost any apk I download will not install on my phone. Sorry for the erratic problems just jumbled everywhere in this post but I'm using my phone to write this so its a bit difficult to organize. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated. A link to a post already like this (which I couldn't find) or a link to a tutorial maybe or troubleshooting these problems. I will delete this post as soon as I find a solution so I don't use up space on the forums with a somewhat personal problem. Thanks in advance!

Go in application settings and delete your play store's data/cache. That should fix it.
Without it, it's kinda hard to install apps unless you sideload. If you do sideload, you need to allow it in your settings (security I believe).

if you're using the stable version of CM
you might have to go to Date & Time setting
and fix the date on there in order to make play store works
and everything you say about camera, it is weird indeed because not only CM, every rom out there should include a camera app
if that problem still exists for you, you might want to clean/wipe everything, from cache to system and then flash the rom again

Thank you guys. I tried wiping the cache and it still didn't work. I don't mind side loading which is what I've been doing but its not ideal. I can only search for the exact app(s) I want rather than exploring via play store. Also, you guys didn't mention the problem with the file managers not working after first try. If you have any feedback it'd be great. I would like to keep the cyanogenmod but its just not worth the time and effort (opinion). If I can't fix the problem or find a solution I'll just go back to my phones stock UI because even though I think flashing ROMs is awesome. It really isn't worth frustrating myself with something that's an option and not a necessity. Thanks in advance for feedback.

Have you tried a factory reset?

the file manager part is really weird.
if you clean install, especially the stable version, everything should works just fine
however, it sounds like bad install though
how about this this
Download Titanium Backup and wipe data + cache for file manager only and see if it works
if not, try the longer way
download stock att rom(4.1.1)
go to recovery, wipe everything
go to download mode
flash stock rom with odin
restart to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache
root the phone
Re-Download CM10 stable
go to recovery, wipe everything, including System
flash cm10
reboot and see if everything works

Yeah I've tried a factory reset. It only deleted my user data not really resetting the phone. Thank you pcchano (sorry if I got name wrong) I'll try and erase everything and reinstall from scratch but its not my first time using custom ROMs so I'm sure I did it right but I'll give it a go. Also, someone told me that I need to completely wipe any data associated with Google wallet before I root or else play store will not work. Has anyone tried out this theory or know anything about it? It doesn't make sense to me seeing as wallet is saved server side beside the basic user data stored on the phone. But please let me know. You guys are all very helpful thanks for the feedback.

Also, I've never had to wipe dalvik before? Could that be my problem? I also noticed that when I updated cm the info panel said 'experimental' even though I chose the stable version to start with? Could some of these problems be associated with cm rather than blaming it on my phone? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

i have like 2 s3 using CM10 stable version and no problem with it (other than the play store wouldn't connect due to the date in setting wasn't correct) while I myself am using CM10.1 and other than the bugs that come with CM10.1 or google source code, it is a functional rom
so i would rather say, it is your phone
and you should always wipe dalvik cache along with cache partition before flashing new rom.

OK pcshano thanks very much. I'll just erase everything and start from scratch. Thanks everyone who helped me. This forum and you people are awesome. I'll delete this post as soon as I reinstall the ROM to make sure it worked. Thanks again!

The stable cm is of the 10 variety. The experimental builds are 10.1 if I'm not mistaken. In which case you should only need to flash the appropriate gapps package to get the play store functioning and camera as well. The file manager issue I don't know beyond the external sd card being a bit sketchy on 4.2 builds. Are you using an external sd card? Start with a fresh flash of 10.1 if you want to go with that, flash a 4.2 gapps zip and see what happens from there.

[Q] Android System sign in error

Hi all,
While I was using my One X this evening, an error popped up on the notification bar (pictured below). Selecting it came up with a vague login box. I couldn't work out what it was for, the username (which I've obscured for privacy reasons) was a series of numbers. Going through to app info comes up with Android System as the process.
Anyone know what the problem is or what it could be in relation too?
Thanks

try a factory reset ...if you are not rooted go into settings and somewhere there should be a place with the option to put the phone to stock ...if you use a custom rom try reflashing it or flash another or so

Wifi Issues on ParanoidAndroid 4.5-beta1

This Paranoid Android 4.5 BETA1 for T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 seems to be stable build except it has few bugs related to WiFi.
After upgrading from Paranoid Android 4.45 to 4.5, WiFi stops working and it deleted saved WiFi Access Points. Any changes you make in WiFi Settings seems to be giving error " FAILED TO SAVE NETWORK CHANGES".
This WiFi bug is still exists even if you revert it back to 4.45.
Waiting for another fix update.
Since I have not posted much...here in xda ... I can not reply to their original development thread.

Are you using an app such as Chromecast or AllCast? It's known to cause WiFi issues on all KitKat Roms for the Hercules.

No, I'm not using any one of them... The WiFi issues start appearing after I've upgraded to Paranoid Android 4.5 from 4.45. But even if i downgrade to 4.45 the wifi issues remains there.
I think I only have one option to clean format and install it again. But I do not want to loose all of my custom settings.

Did you make a backup before you flashed the update? I did have this problem 3 months ago with an update and a clean flash fixed it and it was stable. I have found that rather than dirty flashing updates I do a full backup in TWRP, full wipe, flash ROM, gapps, addons, and kernel, wipe cache and Dalvik, reboot, let sit 10 mins to settle, reboot recovery, wipe cache and Dalvik, restore just data, wipe cache and Dalvik again and reboot. I've even dine this switching to other Roms but it won't work with all.

Guess what... I think i have solved my issues with just un-checking one of the option in settings. LOL
I realized that I made some changes right after installing the update which I totally forgot about it. So I went back to those settings:fingers-crossed: and checked which one was causing this problem. And WAHLLAA It was definitely one with Cast Screen settings causing the WiFi problems.
HERE ARE MY SOLVED STEPS:
Goto >> Settings
Then >> Display
then >> Cast Screen
then go to the Option of Cast Screen on top right.
SIMPLY uncheck the option [Enable wireless display].
Then REBOOT is required.
You should have working wifi without any changes to the wifi settings.
DON'T FORGET THE """"THANKS BUTTON"""":highfive:

also my google keyboard swype stoped working and i had to install a new keyboard swift does ok just wondering if i can get the google one to work again
thanks

@mkdroid - I edited this thread's title as well due to your direct copy of the Development thread's title - this is not a good practice as it can be very confusing both to those actually looking at the forum and those searching through both XDA & Google/etc.
Please refrain from copying development thread titles for your threads and leave the [ROM] and other tags for the appropriate places. You should use the [Q] tag if you want to use one at all in the Q&A section.
Thanks.

Bug Report: [ROM][WIP][PORT] CyanogenMod 11 M8 4.4.4 [BETA]

Hi there,
First off I would like to thank AngSanley for his work on the 4.4.4 CM 11 ROM, absolutely excellent development and keep up the good work. Hopefully I thought I would make a bug report here since i still can't post in the X development section:
1. Phone.apk problems:
a. Operator and Caller names coincide with each other (Issue was mentioned before in the thread however still looking forward to hearing from @AngSanley for a reply)
b. Repeated Missing Calls crash the com.android.phone process and the only solution is to call the missing call to get the phone app running again. To emulate that leave the call until it ends twice and see what happens
2. System Processes
In Jelly Bean and Ice Cream Sandwich you were able to disable system stock apps such as Browser, email, messages and it was possible to install the playstore apps as a replacement. I was wondering if it's still possible to enable that in the current ROM or it's not a bug as of the new releases.
Note: This also includes Trebuchet since I'm not currently using it.
3. Reboots in some cases disables the home button action in UDNB and prevents the lockscreen process from running properly which requires me to reinstall the ROM and Gapps while clearing cache and Delvik or by force stop and enabling lockscreen (which gets me to problem 2 sometimes).
Thank you again for the ROM and looking forward to hearing about upcoming updates with the ROM.

For the first issue, the problem is known. I mentioned it but it's difficult to fix.
For the third issue though, I found a solution. I disabled UDNB and installed Soft Buttons app. If the buttons crash, I disable them from the app and immediately enable them again. I reboot and... that's all!
(as for the second, I use some stock apps, so I can't tell you for sure)

Hopefully it gets addressed because it makes the phone literally unusable. The current list by AngSanley doesn't show it so I hope it's addressed to him.

No problem it's fine. The imitation of it can be made if you even disable messages for example. It shows immediately that the phone loses functionality especially in the lockscreen process.
I'm really looking forward to hearing from @AngSanley on these. Especially on the phone process issue .

Unfortunately I won't be able to do that since I just bricked my phone while formatting to the original stock version lol. I'm currently stuck on Nokia Emergency Connectivity and will be sending it to the Nokia care center next month haha. I'll be doing a fresh install when I get it back.
PS: I'm guessing no solutions for this problem outside the warranty am I right?

LineAge OS Developer Mode Missing

Hello Everyone,
Some weeks back I installed latest version of LineAge OS : 14.1-20170209-UNOFFICIAL-onyx on my one plus X phone. So after playing around with it found that there were lots of issues so I decided to uninstall it and tried it by tapping 7 times on the build number and guys nothing comes up. I am not able to activate Developer Mode on my phone. Need your help ASAP !!!
Build Number : onyx-userdebug 7.1.1 NMF26V feaeeb615e test-keys. So guys need your inputs because it contains lots of bugs. No notification feature etc. So please I don't have any idea what should I do so please post your suggestions.

Guys any inputs ?? Pls help me

One more thing guys... Below are the things which are not working on my phone
Tapping 7 times !!! Developer options not showing up
No Notifications at all... I can hear the sounds but no success to show notifications
Google Store updates & Installation suddenly stopped...
Reset Everything Option Not working...
Guys seriously suggest me some solution....

Just launch setup wizard... Problem will solved

Which setup wizard ur talking about ?>

•search for setup wizard and launch it.
Problem solved.

It didn't work for me. When trying to open Setup Wizard, it says App isn't installed.

For me, the Setup Wizard also didn't work. I used TWRP to wipe Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache and then re-installed the ROM. That is pretty much a factory reset (didn't lose any photo's and other files), but it worked.

One plus one - lineage OS devolper options location.
if you are googling this in 2019 then it is a bit more hidden in Lineage OS. After tapping the build number 7 times. select system (It's above about phone) > Tap Advanced and it's the second last option. It took me a while figure this out.
If you come from stock rom it normally is in the main menu of settings. Personally it was a bad design choice to put it there instead of the default location.
