Hi i rooted my new samsung galaxy s 4 mini (gt-i9195).
I followed this guide:
[URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980"GUIDE[/URL]
Anyway, root and everyting else seemse to work quite webb actually. But the camtera (cant see nothing at all, black with buttons)
i get: warning
camera does not work.
Then it restarts its self.
but hey, it seems to be working agin , i took a pause in writing this. Anyway, any having the same problem?
Is it possible to get back to original, kernel and have root?
EDIT
Yeah, the camera is dead

Are you sure you haven't removed/frozen any system APK's or libraries pertaining to the camera? I've rooted using the same method and have no issues with camera, or anything for that matter.

=)
I have no idé , but it works fine all the time now.
Restarted my phone and i think that was the trick for me!
Are u happy with your phone? i think it got everything i need!

Oh, bigger problem. Needs help
Now, its even stranger! My locksreen always hangs (takes long time to come in to app grid)..
Nothing happens when swap with finger.
Also, when my app for airplay (wich use root) stop working.
Restarted phone, clear cache, same problem.
wipe phone, and done. Choose country etc, very laggy and slow. May it be kernel problem or somtethingt?
edit
Same thing after wiped my phone, when swipe finger over locksreen its almost never works, slow and strange!
Any idea? i bought it yesterday and today its all messed up plz help
After a while a pop up comes wich says "PRocess system does not respond. do you want to shut it down. -wait or ok- is my choises i get"
Translated rough from swedish.
sorry for my bad english

Gtablet help!

Been spending a lot of time searching for a fix to this. I'm sure its been covered before but I can't find anything specific to my problem.
android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Force Close.
This is on the viewsonic gtablet, Tnt root I believe it was called. Worked fine for a week or so and then all of the sudden I can't do ANYTHING without this force close coming up. When I say I can't do anything I don't mean I get this annoying message I have to x out of, I mean I can't do a god damn thing. Can't open settings, can't open the internet, can't open my contacts to delete them as I heard that might be the problem and I don't need them on my tablet as I them on my droid X. Just about the only app that I can get to work is Kindle.
Any ideas? If somebody can just tell me how to do a factory reset by pushing X Y and Z buttons that would be great, i'm about to throw this thing out the window.
Power and Volume + will do a recovery key reboot... Otherwise, check out the gtablet forums

Sounds like it is time to put a different rom on there. I would suggest vegan tab rom get his latest . Vegan tab ginger edition. http://vegantab.gojimi.com/
You will have to install it through clockwork mod , which you should have if you already put a different rom on it. Follow his instructions. I have tried just about all of the roms that I could find . This one works . Good luck . If you hit a bump message back.
I just found this rom and it works great . Very smooth and everything I tried so far works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119888

In this thread issues are being discussed as well. First thing you can do to reduce the number of problems is to master reset your phone. Please make sure you back up your data including the files on SD card. It took me two resets to make things stable but as you mentioned there are abnormality with the phone. We are hoping there will be an update soon.
On that note, you might want to discharge your battery to improve it as well. Recharged it from switched off and from wall socket. Good Luck.

Yes I did the factory wipe in boot menu like 2 or 3 times and had to clear cache in boot menu to get the camera working. It seems pretty stable at the moment because I did another wipe yesterday and unroot before hand ato fix it. And I havnt rooted yet bacause I want to compare hw it runs because it seems pretty ok at the moment so I might root again later to see if it starts happening again.
And thanks for the tip about the battery
Update....i rooted again but this time with gingerbreak and when I installed setvsel I enabled jit and jis made the phone alot faster! What is jit? What does,it do?

[PROBLEM] Random freezes/crashes on Desire

Hey,
I know theres a lot of threads about htc/android phones freezing and crashing/rebooting but none of them really described my exact situation. And since it's getting worse and worse and driving me crazy, I wanted to ask for help.
As the title suggests my HTC Desire keeps freezing and crashing (sometimes rebooting, too).
It all probably started shortly before I first rooted my device, following the great sticky noob-tutorial. First problem was, that sometimes my phone wouldn't wake up from standby, especially after I a missed call (rooting didn't solve that problem).
Some time later, now rooted and with a custom ROM, I noticed, that sometimes when I wanted to use my phone, it showed the PIN-screen, which obviously means, that it rebooted quietly (don't remember if this also happened before rooting).
A few days ago it started to completely freeze, when connected to the charger. Orange LED showed it was charging but no reaction to pressing any buttons or disconnect the charger.
Since yesterday it also crashes randomly in standby mode (can't wake it up) or e.g. when watching a video (just freezes the device, no reaction to button-pressing, screen stays on etc.)
now I am running the stability test with the charger connected - no problem for 1h10min til now...
The ROM I am running is the latest cool sense (problems also existed before the latest update)
No modification of CPU (I used to use SetCPU but since I thought that would cause the problems I uninstalled it -> no improvement)
What could be the problem here? (And how can I solve it, of course?)
Anything else than a full wipe, which could help? (that would be my last option...)
Thanks for helping...
it just happened again -.-
I was just backing up some apps with titanium backup and in the middle of scrolling through the list - freeze!
dunno what to do...
is this hardware or software related?...
Hello.
It would be pretty easy if it is a soft problem. This kind of problems are usually dealt with by installing another ROM and see if the problems persist. So if you want to try and eliminate the last option, go and install another ROM, it can be a Stock ROOT-ed ROM, Sense or anything.
The fact that you mentioned your phone was crashing even before rooting got me thinking it is a motherboard fault. I've read some threads in which people had the same problems, and in the end they all got to the same conclusion: motherboard fault. The only resolve with this is to get it to guarantee.
So first of all try installing another ROM and if the problems persist, you will need to install a RUU and see if this one eliminates your problem. If not then I don't know if there is anything else you could do, besides getting it to the guarantee.
I wait for your progress.
Hi,
thanks for your reply.
The funny thing is, that I didnt have those problems with this ROM in the beginning. Everything was fine, that's why I was using it the whole time. But as I said before, it became worse by and by... thats why I thought it could be an app or so...
that would be a recent list of apps: appbrain.com/user/marioiram/
Cannot even sync my newest list, because after freezing while watching a video, it froze again shortly after reboot... still getting worse
Try reinstalling the ROM or installing another ROM.
hm.. just when I was thinking about following your advice, my desire stopped freezing xD
no crash, no freeze oder reboot since my last post.
I even tried to force it by watching videos, playing games, connect to the charger etc.
everything is fine... strange.
Will see for how long
Well this is good news. Just keep in mind what you can do if the rebooting comes back. Hope it doesn't
Well, it did xD
Now even shortly after reboot. I'll try ROM changes as soon as I get home but there's something I noticed: it often freezes when it's supposed to display a whatsapp notification and sometimes it seems there's a problem with the sdcard (just bought a new one because my old one went nuts). Sometimes the notification 'sdcard was removed unexpectedly' (translated from German) is appearing, but after waiting a few minutes everything is fine again...
Well I'll try some stuff when there's time...

[HELP] Screen freeze/stuck with lines and sometimes reboot itself

Hi,Guys...
Two days ago I was interested on a thread in Reddit, since it cant be accessed freely in my country so I choose to try it with VPN.
Then I installed alot of VPN apps and I just realized everything was turning ON at the same time and my phone start to laggy then freeze/stuck. Can't do a thing like moving screen or pressing button which force me to restart the phone.
After the phone reboot I uninstalled all of the VPN that I've been downloaded.
Then I look on my screen which is full of dulls cuz of use, so I wiped it with soft cloth (i like shiny screen), since the Ambient Display in ON, the screen was moved along with the wipe process which make the notification tile move up and down and the switch like Wifi,Mobile Data, DnD, etc get pressed randomly many times, then the phone freeze/stuck again.
I rebooted it, and when I'm about to use it like 5-10 seconds it freeze again but this time it had adjacent lines and have color like rainbow (i dont know what it called), and this is the beginning of the problem. It keep happening even now.
I can't use my phone for few minutes. Keep freezing/stuck sometimes it have lines sometimes dont.
Even if after I restart the phone and let it boot to homescreen, sometimes it would restart it by itself.
Is there anyone who ever face this kind of problem? I'm hoping this is not related to the hardware since until now this phone is not officialy released in my country so I dont know where I can bring this phone to get serviced.
Please for anyone who can tell me what to do to help bring my daily phone to be normal again.
Thanks in advanced. And sorry if my english is not that good.
bump. I have the same issue.

Z1 Compact hangs in random moments

Hi
My Z1 Compact started to hang while opening apps or while using them. Sometimes it doesn't reset and then some things are not responding and whole interface disappear and comes up again.
I tried to record it with the screen recorder and the "show touches" option but the record wasn't saved. The "show touches" option worked during the hang.
Sometimes I can turn it off by clicking power button and power off but it takes some time to "read" my touch. There are no problems with the battery.
Is it a RAM problem? How can I find out what happens before and during the hang? Is there something like Windows event viewer for Android? My ROM was DstrikerZ1 Kai SP007, after the problems started I updated it to SP008, now it is on stock ROM with no root. The bootloader is locked and it was never unlocked.
I thought it would work for another 2 years

Are you saying that the problem was the same through both Dstriker versions, and straight stock? Was there full wipes in between? If so, I would think it's a hw issue, maybe digitizer... If not, best thing to test is a totally different rom with full wipe.
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think digitizer can cause software freezes... If it was faulty I couldn't control the phone but it would respond anyway.
I flashed SP008 with data+system+cache+art cache wipe, then I flashed stock ROM via software repair in PC Companion.

I don't know what hw it would be, but seems like hw to me.
A good app for what you're looking for might be OSMonitor from f-droid - https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=git&fdid=com.eolwral.osmonitor&fdpage=3 There's a 'message' tab, and a drop-down menu you can choose which type of log you want to read.
I don't understand this log ;/ There is a lot of messages.
I consider buying a Z1C with cracked screen and swapping the mobo, but first, I will call a technician.
Hello I have the same issues from today. It looks like a SW issue. I never do updates, except yesterday I did,...
I also saw that lots of people have issues with the latest update of Facebook.
Yes, it was all because of Facebook. I restored custom rom and all mods yesterday and it works fine so far.
Somebody wants us to throw old Z1Cs, but we throw FB app instead. Nice try mr. Zuckerberg.
I don't know why, but i have this problem, i don't think it's hw fault, i have the same issue in all my 3 z1, it's kinda funny, deleting Facebook App 'fixed' my problem
Had same freeze on SP007, so I downgraded to SP005, instead of upgrade to SP008.
SP005 runs much better and doesn't look like Pixel but has the XZ look :angel:
Had this issue all week and now I know it's Facebook! Was having hard / soft reset issues for like a week after this stupid Facebook update... thank god I checked here.
