Issues with stock camera and gallery after rooting - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I rooted my LG G3 D855 with towelroot and changed the dpi to 540 (also have xposed, KK gravity box, greenify and others running). It was then when I noticed that I started having issues with the stock gallery force closing on me each time i open it. i want to be able to use the stock gallery app as I have saved all my photos to my SD Card and 3rd party apps are not able to delete items in the sd card due to the kit kat update.
next is the camera. i am unable to touch and focus in the default camera app. i like the stock camera as it takes photos really quickly using the laser auto focus.
any one with ideas on how to solve it, or anyone else with the same issues?

This is because you changed the DPI. Change it back to stock and your issues will go away. The apps crashing has nothing to do with root, it has to do with what you did after you rooted.

guess i have to be very precise. i changed it back to the original dpi, still does not solve my issues.
cleared data and cache of both apps, still remains. finally i decided to check my xposed modules and found that "Swipeback" was causing the issue.
for anyone running rooted and using xposed + swipeback, this will affect your stock camera + gallery apps.

I am having the same issue. Seems to be related to the Auto Hide Softkeys, either that or the G3 Tweakbox.
Any input?

you need to disable each module one at a time to narrow down the module that is causing the issue. i am thinking it might be the auto hide softkeys. hope you manage to work it out!

[Q] Stock android app switcher

Hello,
I am looking for a way to get the stock android app switcher.
The LG one is just garbage and laggy at launch....
I tried to freeze the multitasking framework app in titanium but no luck.
ANyone has a solution? maybe a stock apk or something ?

The LG one causes me problems too. I sometimes have to go in and out a couple times to display the full list of apps that I have open..
Anyway, zoom out (pinch to zoom) and you can get the stock feel.
Alternatively there are a bunch of App Switcher alternatives in the store.

Phones clock based things won't update?

Hello, I am having a rather odd problem. It seems like anything that uses time on my phone, won't update.
Whenever I check my lock screen (Pattern), the lock screen clock shows the last time I unlocked my phone, and only updates to this time I unlocked. (7:10 when it is really 8 for example. Then next time 8;01 when it really is 8:30 and so on.)
Also, it seems my widgets using time also do no update. My clock still says 7:00. (HD widgets)
Any ideas why this may happen? Multiple searches on Google did not help. Thank you in advance.
Edit; I also did reboot many times, and I have tried force stopping my alarm clock/ lock screen and widgets. Doesn't help.

Have you tried clearing caches from recovery?
What ROM are you using?
Do you have any Xposed mods installed?

I am on stock with unicon xposed module, kitkat toast back port, and advanced power menu.
I figure it out though, after wiping the cache and dalvik cache it fixed itself. I just wanna know what caused it. That is extremely weird.

That is kind of weird. I would to try to reproduce it because I too am on stock, but I am unfmamiliar with Unicon and Kit Kat toast, are those on the xda thread and not the repo?
Also, since you are also on stock: any idea how to enable emoji support in the stock messaging app? hangouts sucks, it keeps giving me flak and not downloading MMS messages.

Kitkat Toast message is in the downloads section of the closed module.
Unicon is on the play store, but it use to be a free module called "Icon Themer".
On the emoji thing; Honestly, all I did was download the Change APN app from the play store and entered the APN people were using on the ART ROM port. For some reason that one let's you use any messaging app on stock. Weird, I know but it works. Actually everything works on that APN. (I used the original one, not the others ones that said "if this one doesn't work, try this APN")
After using the APN edit, I personally use 8Sms as my texting app. It is the same as the old cm10/10.2 texting app with emoji support. Pretty awesome. Much faster than hangouts (on stock).
This APN

Sorry, one more set of pictures.
Here is the app. It also has quick reply and turn on screen when getting a message. Pretty cool.
Here is it in action working with the APN.

[Q] [Camera] what app you are using for taking photographs?

Hello guys,
I showed up with a question for you geeks, in your opinion whats is the best alternative of Pixelmaster camera?
What app(s) you are using for taking and adding live effects in photographs?
Regards
VSCO is pretty good, but I usually just use the pixelmaster camera for quick pics.

A better camera
pixelmaster.tried camera 51,google camera but obviously asus know how to optimize it better than anybody else.besides phone is by asus.they know the hardware,they have to create a better software.camera is a shame right now
My Pixelmaster Camera app is crashing immediately and gives two error messages. The first one is "another app is using the camera.." and the second is "Camera failed to launch. please reboot and try again". Rebooting didn't help. I have tried other apps for camera like camera360 but didn't work. What could be the problem? My device is Zenfone2 64G.

Did you recently installed an app that have access to your camera? If you did install an app then use Auto Start Manager to block such app to start at your background if it doesn't work then try to uninstall that app.
If you did not installed any app that may use your camera then go for wipe cache memory from recovery mode and then try to access the camera.
If Camera is still not working then as a last hope Hard reset your phone from Recovery mode and then ADB Sideload the latest rom for your from here and then check your camera.
If still your camera is not working then there might be some hardware issue to be addressed by you nearer Asus Service Station.
It might also be that you uninstalled some default app that the camera needs.
Thank you guys. Yes I installed many apps including Clashot, Foap and Snapwire that are photo community apps, but I have multiple photo and camera apps on other devices with no conflict!! I disable all apps at boot. I uninstalled then reinstalled the original camera app. I installed camera360 but no chance. I uninstalled some google apps I don't need. I'm not sure if installing/uninstalling these app caused or the last system upgrade 5 days ago. I'm willing to try any solution since no Asus service station is available now in Syria. Thank you
I just did a factory reset .. Still can't use the camera!!

Thank you but I guess the problem came with the latest rom. (*_*)

LG G3 freshly rooted just for the Xcam features

Got this phone just recently as a replacement deal from Virgin/Bell (in Canada), LG-D852 running on stock 5.0.1 fresh rooted.
Couple days ago SU and TitaniumBackup, cleaned some vendor’s (Bell, Virgin) garbage also I like the XCam LG features and wanted to install no matter what.
So I finished the cleanup with TitaniumBackup then ran into a problem the XCam won’t save the image files to SD….
Spent some time reading on the net and came across the NextUp SDfix
Also bought the XCam Settings and grab the QuickPic for the album, ES FileExplorer to brows all the way to the root….
Finally somehow managed the rear facing camera clicks (sound) and saves the picture (and I can watch it in QuickPic), but the front facing camera clicks (sound) only and can’t find any track of pictures.
Q:
What is a XCam default install location, maybe the front camera saves somewhere else then the rear, or is it a not finished project?
Do you know for any other known issues with this XCam, I spent a decent time with my basic level of understanding to get to this stage and this app still not fully cooperating with me, I may go back to stock camera if this not moving further.
I have the vs985 with xcam installed. Under settings (gear wheel on main screen in xcam) you can choose storage location, mine is set to sd card. My front facing camera saves pictures to :
/storage/external_SD/DCIM/Camera/
Hope this helps

THX, this what you saying is a default.
I believe something to do with android.
Something to do with interaction between OS and XCam

The XCam was working fine then I installed 2-3-4 other apps (preparing my entertainment for a several weeks road trip), only then the XCam started behaving different.
I have now uninstalled this program (w/TitaniumBackup) and installed a fresh copy and the same but new copy of XCam is all working fine. But, this is important, it is now a latest installed app.
I don't want to troubleshoot in the last moment but I believe some of the apps altering the system variables in some way that the XCam looses an important link and certain features start miss-behaving.
I am not a programmer by any means only a tinkering leads me to this standpoint. I may be wrong but the OS is too much modular so some apps connecting one way some the other and some the third....this android OS shall be a single engine with predefined open ports where-only the apps can connect to....

camera apps cant seem to open camera smt705

samsung galaxy tab s 8.4 smt705
rooted with twrp
selamba rom
when i open a camera app i get an error message and the app force closes. i ve tried all the clear cache reboot fixes and itll work for awhile, then it stops working again. wondering if the changelog might give someone an idea.
edit- cant post screenshot for some reason. now i understand why a lot of posts dont have screenshots and you cant figure out what the **** theyre talking about.
This sometimes happens with ROMS. All you need to do is download some random camera apps from the Google Play Store. One of them will eventually work!

yeah, thats what ive been doing. open camera 1.34 seems to be working fine. it did get an error message when i first downloaded it, but i had just uninstalled camera fv. after reboot its been opening the camera just fine. i liked the samsung camera but i dont like gallery, so ive got both of those froze. camera/cinema fv light would not work with this selamba rom.
camera and gallery work with each other. if you frozen one, the other one definitely will give a problem. its how samsung wrote the code. its in the framework. camera will search for gallery that it was mean to work with.
