[Question] Barometer and Compass Aren't Working - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
I'm a new member of XDA Forums, I can't send my message to the related topic, so I want to open a thread here.
I flashed a new ROM, SlimBean, yesterday. I really like that ROM but I have a big problem. Compass is not working and barometer, too. There is a litte application in the Play Store, I can install it when I was using a 4.1.x ROM. I tried to install it again but Store said it is incompetible. Then, I tried another barometer applications but I can't install because of incompatiblity. Also, I can install compass applications but they aren't working. I opened them but there was nothing.
Is it normal in 4.2.x ROMs ? I don't know anything about it. If it is not normal, can someone help me please ?
Thanks.

Im running latest v4.2 slimbean aswell. Ive just tried Smart Compass and SysPressure (uses barometer) and they both work as they should. Maybe you should try wiping and reinstalling the rom.

[Q] [LUPUS Kernel] [Ice Cream Speed] GPS not working

Hello XDA Developers,
i recently flashed a new kernel and installed a new rom on my xperia play as i wasn't happy with the performance of cm9.
Also i hoped to fix my problem that my compass is going haywire in Google Maps.
The speed of the rom is really great, but unfortunally the problem stayed.
Before you mention it, yes of course i have used Google to find answers to this topic. But nothing seems to work for me.
There are a ton of GPS apps that try to address this problem, but none did for me. No app was able to find any GPS signal even after several minutes of waiting.
Is there anything i can flash to eleminate this problem? Is there some specific prozedure to fix this with the help of the gps fix apps in the store? Do i have to wander around outdoors for 10 minutes to make it work or something like that?
Any help on this topic is appreciated.
Best Regards

I have no idea why gps wouldn't work, but you could try by flashing stock firmware with flashtool and see is it working.
If it's not working even on stock firmware, maybe it's hardware fault.
Make backup before you flash stock, so you could restore it later

[Q] 4.4.X Camera and App function issues

I've recently tried out a few 4.4.X roms as daily drivers and found that with various apps the camera doesn't function, for example, launching vine will say " this function is not supported by your device"
and when trying any barcode scanners I cannot get anything to scan.
has anyone else had any experience with this and fixing it?
I'm currently on the Hellfire rom for 4.4 as it has the best stock camera but even it doesn't work. I believe this to be a 4.4 issue only.
Anyone made any progress on this or have information regarding it?
Thanks

I finally just gave up, Did multiple wipes, cleared cache, restarts, everything, clean flashes every time. No dice.
Went back to 4.3 PACMAN for the time being. 4.4 is nice, but not worth severing the app/camera relations.

[Q] Chrome crashes

I recently flashed PA 4.4 RC1 and the latest gapps package (06.08). As far as I know, I haven't done anything that could've touched chrome in any way. But now chrome crashes everytime I tap on a suggestion in the addresbar dropdown list. This is very annoying.
I tried reflashing gapps, didn't work. I tried uninstalling chrom with titanium backup, but chrom didn'T even uninstall properly. I tried disabling all xposed modules I have installed but that didn't help either.
Does anyona have or had a similar issue? I ran out of ideas on how to troubleshoot this. Wiping and reflashing PA would be the very last option that I would rather not do becuase it takes a rather long time. Any help would be much appreciated.
ps.: I have a nexus 5

both my D2lte and my Toro are having the same issues. it seems it revolves around editing the address bar not actually following links. i manually uninstalled from system using root browser(normal un install doesnt work) and tried re installing .. nada. i can confirm that you are not alone.

Hi Pirateghost
I'm new to ParanoidAndroid, could you link that Bug Tracker please?
I've looked but can't seem to find it.
Wouldn't want to be spamming bugs that have already been recognised. :angel:

[Q] Google play services incompatible with certain apps after installing a rom

First of all, I am aware there's a solution post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51022557#post51022557 but since the Galaxy Fame is kind of unique I wish for a more accurate solution if possible
I installed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582851 and everything worked fine, except when I tried to use snapchat I got that error of Google Play Services incompatibility. Now, it says that rom is intended for developers and what not but every page I visited asking what was the best rom linked me to it so I tried it; I'm saying this because to be honest I barely know that my phone has to be rooted and I kind of know what CWM does, besides that I have no idea how custom roms work and thus I am asking for your help here on this matter
P.S: I'm not bashing on the creator of that rom.
Try with corsifame 2,cause corsifame 2 use lastest based official firmeare

Camera app replacement
Hey guys, thanks for the Carbon Rom - looks real good, is nice & fast.
I have one question.
I've installed Google Camera and I liked it better than default CM one. I tried to freeze CM camera so that Google Camera would be default everywhere, but pressing hardware camera button doesn't work (there is only a one-time vibro, camera doesn't launch, when CM is defrost it launches, obviously).
Is there any way I can set Google Camera to launch via hardware button? I'd like to delete CM camera to keep everything neat & tidy.
Thank you guys in advance!
Problem with Carbon rom
Hi, I'm new at this and I had a problem when I installed your rom on my Xperia S. I managed to root it and install CWM perfectly... But when I flashed your rom, without any problems, and tried to reboot, the phone never rebooted. I just stays with the screen off and when I press the power on button for a while it only vibrates and that's it. I used to have the official Xperia 4.1.2 rom. HELP!!!!
If unlocked bootloader, maybe you should flash tft.
You can have a look at the main thread someone has the same problem....

I think this problem is known.
Which earphones are you using?
I think newer ones are not supported because of missing drivers but i am not sure.
HDMI
Is it hard to make hdmi support? I use 4.1 only for hdmi. There are another 4.4 roms with hdmi, but carbon is best.

Yes it is hard to support hdmi since, afaik, there was no proper support built for it in the sources used by carbon.
build fails on OMX codec
Hi all!
Has anyone tried to build the ROM from sources?.. well I have and it fails while building the obj for OMXCodec --> OMXCodec.cpp:4569 --> frameworks/av/media/libstagefright/OMXCodec.cpp:4569:11: error: 'OMX_AUDIO_PARAM_FLACTYPE' has no member named 'nBitsPerSample'
If anyone met the same problem and fixed it, please share the fix/work-around.
So far i've edited OMX_Audio.h and inserted an OMX_U32 nBitsPerSample var in the OMX_AUDIO_PARAM_FLACTYPE struct.
It compiles on, but i'm not sure this is Ok.
Thanks!

Yeah well I tried to build it too yesterday evening, but I'm not getting any error nor the output zip file! Where did You find the error?
Mmmm... I don't really remember.
I was building the project just like in the 'how to' (I mean literally, step-by-step), and it just crashed at that point.
However, it turns out that there is another external module that is not supported and should not even be in the sources. Let me know if you encounter the same problems.
I have been using this rom for about a month now, good so fare.
But since a couple of days I'm starting to have some bugs (like the music lagging and even stopping when I'm doing other things on my phone) and some lags from time to time. Sometimes it's really smooth, but most of the time it's very slow and not confortable to use.
Any ideas how I could speed it up and make it smoother ? I already overcloked it
