[Q] Camera Freezing Problem

I haven't seen this issue in a thread that has been discussed before and I would like to know if it only affects me or others as well. Most of the time my camera works just fine but sometimes when I take a shot the focus square window will stay on the screen with the picture and everything will freeze up until I turn the screen on and off and then to use the camera I have to restart my phone completely. I have tried other FTFs and factory resets but nothing seems to cure it up. Seems on the 757 it did not do this but started with the 108. Also happened on the v2 russian firmware for the 108.
I haven't tried any custom roms other than Slimkat and on that ROM it worked fine but wasn't anywhere near factory firmware. Everything worked on that ROM other than the 2 stage focus and shoot button. If anyone knows how I can fix this issue I will try anything because alot of the time I miss once in a lifetime shots because of this.
Thanks,
Scott

Install this APK, I have downloaded it from another thread here on XDA.
This will add an icon in your launcher that will fix the freezing camera app, however you have to manually start after a reboot or a ram clean.
Enjoy.

Cannot save screenshot, try again

has anyone else run into this? i've found threads from various other phones on this, but none of the fixes ive tried have worked - delete /sdcard/pictures folder, clear data for quickmemo+, nada
as soon as i take a screenshot, the notification "saving screnshot" is stuck in my panel and cannot be swiped away. the screenshot actually saves, but a toast message comes up saying "Cannot save screenshot, try again".
SOLVED: DO NOT DISABLE CLIPTRAY

I'm having the same problem.
I've gone and unfroze everything and that didn't work so I factory reset this thing and still no luck.
edit: Extreme you rooted? I am rooted but I originally could take screenshots.

true that. ill give it a whirl tonight

I have this issue too. It's definately a systemui issue as Force closing System UI clears the notification.
It started happening to me after root, so guessing it's something to do with the system ui in that image.

Ah didn't notice which variant you were on. Though it's still an issue with system UI somewhere though. Tried everything can find, centering folders, unfreezing apps, etc.

well, reroot/flashing the rooted systemimg did work. ive gone back and disabled all bloat again, and screenshotting still works. no idea what changed
edit: andddd i broke it again. it was working fine, did a whole bunch of restarts after blocking a few apps taking screenshots along the way. eventually screenshotting broke again. unfroze a few apps that i froze in Titanium and screenshotting is still broken. i am so confused

did you disable cliptray? i did a similarish test but i used solid explorer to remove the permissions from cliptray and my screenshot ability died!

holy ****, good call. i did disable cliptray. i guess screenshot on this stupid ROM writes the screenshot directly to the cliptray, so when its disabled, it cant write it to the cliptray, and thus the persistent saving notification..

There is a nice app which should be used with option B, this preserves screenshot funtionallity.

Screen rotation not working.

Tried the slap fix. Checked cpu z and my sensors look normal but I'm not sure really what they should look like. Tried turning rotation off then rebooting then turning back on. I have xposed, I saw another forum where someone said they disabled something in xposed to fix it but they didn't say what. Any help is greatly appreciated. I've done the dev conversion and rooted.

Have you uninstalled any apps (especially using Titanium Backup)?
Trying to uninstall Facebook or Instagram using Titanium Backup broke screen rotation for me. Manually deleting the app folders in /system/app/ was fine, though.

I did uninstall both of them with tb. And like the smart person I am I made no backup. Help?
Edit: Would installing from the app store fix it?
Edit:Edit: I tried, it didn't work. What can I do?

Is there a place I can download the apks from the stock image? I have the stock incremented one installed from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...nt/firmware-safe-upgrade-to-lollipop-t3313224
Would that even fix this issue?

It's not so much the apps themselves that's the issue, apparently TB deletes some system libraries that affect screen rotation.
The easiest/safest thing to do would be to reflash one of the safe upgrade options and re-root the phone. Deleting most apps with TB seems to be safe, but manually delete Facebook & Instagram.

Glad to hear the cause of this issue has been narrowed down to the uninstall of Insta and Facebook from system apps. Do you know if it's still safe to disable these apps by using something like Root App Disabler?

This worked for me. Dont flash , just copy the file in the zip to where it needs to go and reboot. It should be fine. Ofcourse make a backup in case.

I have disabled Facebook and Instagram using Titanium Backup and later manually deleted the apps from /system without affecting screen rotation.
The only issue appears to be using Titanium Backup to uninstall them.

I, too, have this problem with Jasmine v7.0. I have deinstalled facebook via TB and now screen rotation no longer works. I tried the libgnustl_shared.so fix but that does not seem to work for me as screen rotation is still broken. If anyone has another idea I am willing to give it a try. Otherwise I think I may re-flash Jasmine and manually remove facebook.

I would try a dirty flash of the exact version of the ROM you're using. It should reinstall the missing programs without messing much else up.

If you can't find anything else that works, wiping and re-flashing with Jasmine 7.0 definitely does. I flashed + deleted facebook quite a few times before I realized it was causing the screen rotation bug. It's tedious, but it will get rid of the problem.

Seems like facebook deletion via TB is not the only way to break screen rotation. I did a test and deleted several apps via TB (but left facebook installed) and I cannot pinpoint exactly which one broke rotation I can confirm that screen rotation did stop working. Therefore it seems that the best route altogether would be to delete apps manually instead of using TB to do so.

I'm running Jasmine V7, MM. Can you please tell me what ROM your fix worked for. I tried downloading, copy pasting "libgnustl_shared.so" to correct folder (mine was missing). Then, battery out/ reboot -didn't work. Other Note: I don't think I can dirty flash my ROM in the traditional sense as Jasmine V7 was only released in backup form. I would have wipe and to do fresh install. (This would suck as it mine is heavily modified) -THX!

Question Realme GT ME - AOD not work

After updating Realme GT ME software to Android 12, AOD does not work even though it is turned on in settings. Maybe someone can help solve this problem.

Problem solved. I did a complete phone reset. Everything works beautifully on the new UI 3.0

Hi,
did you restored with Google Backup after the reset?
I read in the web and in this forum, that the problem is common, and some people experienced it also after a full wipe restoring from the Google Backup, so you need to reinstall manually all the APPS and data.
Then I found a post that talk about the problem after a system restore, from Android 12 to Android 12, made only to clean the system. AOD worked before the restore, after no AOD.
It seems that's a problem also for OPPO ROM (seen also here in XDA Forum), know from December 2021.
Because I have 2 GT ME in my family, and some of my friens with this problem, I wrote also to Realme Support, Bug Report and some Telegram Groups, in this moment there isn't a sure way to solve, only the Full Wipe without Google Backup restore...
The only alternative way it's an APK file, but I don't know the source of this file, and if it's "safe" to make a try

We have two GT Master Edition phones and both of us have the issue. I did a factory reset and it was fixed, however as you've already said ír was broken again after Google sync. I will check those links. I wonder how could an APK fix something like this.

Hello I just downloaded it and installed it. Then I think about security. So I removed. But after removing apk Aod started working nicely.

I'm worried about this, because was originally posted from one user with only 1 message in XDA, and the certificate belong to "oplus.com", I don't know
If I right understood, it ask permission to create new user on Android

Well because this is for oppo phones originally I think, something about colourOS. Anyway, it didn't do anything else and I removed it afterwards. What really bothers me though is the fact that it can be fixed in a fraction of a second by a 3rd party apk made by nobody. Why is there no official fix for this? Know since November...

Yes, but if it's from Oppo, I think that the certificate should be different.
Anyway I'm curious about the source of the APK...
About what you wrote, if the problem could be resolver with a simple APK installation, it's ridicolous that Realme/Oppo it's facing the problem from several month, and they don't released any simple patch...
From VirusTotal scan, I think that it simply create a user, so could be a simple linux permission problem or similar, on a process, a file or an executable

Searching for a solution, I found this link about the problem of the AOD not working after the update to android 12
https://www.reddit.com/r/Realme/comments/u4wgew
in my case it worked, it consists in installing an app from the play store (therefore theoretically safe), when I solved the problem, I uninstalled it.

Thank you!
Worked also for me, and the other GT ME in my family!
Then I uninstalled the app and reboot the phone, all works fine.
A little detail : in the settings of this app the AOD, in my case, was already set to ON with the toggle, I simply moved it to OFF and to ON again and BOOM! It started working, with also the edge lighting!
Thank you again

This app worked charms for me! Had to just disable the AOD through the app, and re-enable it there, and now it works perfectly.
Thanks a lot!

I solved it with the simple "Reset system information only" from the Reset phone menu. it's less painful than factory data reset

WhatsApp not working!

Well, I do not know when or how but Whatsapp app is broken on my device! Just not starting anymore, I only get some force crash screen of about 1 second and that's it...
I have a Note 8T with latest EEA software 12.5.4.0 MIUI 12.5, rooted with Magisk, custom recovery (OrangeFox)
Funny story but enabling dual apps for Whatsapp, basically another user, I managed to start and use the app, as a secondary app because the base app is still dead!
Now, my question is:
How do I get Whatsapp to function normally again???
Things I tried:
1. clean cache and data - no fix
2. uninstall/ install app - no fix
3. enable miui optimizations - no fix
4. fix/ repair data partition in OrangeFox recovery - no fix
Is there anything else I could try in order to fix this issue? It might be somehow related with the user part of the data partition? But why only this app is affected then?
I'm just baffled by this turn... don't know what to do anymore...

i said uninstall/!REBOOT!/install
when you reboot, the package manager will delete the app leftover
the app crash because there is some data left from a previous version
try deleting "com.whatsapp" folder from
/data/data/
and from
/user_de/0/
also whatsapp folder on internal storage

Holly mackerel!!!
You know how many times I rebooted this device???
But, now, it worked without deleting anything except the dropbox content you mentioned earlier!
It just went smooth, install, setup, restore backup and all without a glitch!
THX A BUNCH!!!

Anyway, I would really love to know how was this possible in the first place as I did nothing specially regarding this app... and found myself in this situation of not being able to use it anymore... why only this app? Was something some update maybe that broke something?
