Hi everybody,
FIrst of all my phone is rooted and it has Cyanogenmod 11 -2014-0906-Nightly. About 3 weeks back I installed the S4 google play edition Camera on my SGH-M919. It seemed to work fine but I uninstalled it and went back to the one that comes with Cyanogenmod (I think it's the google one). Since then all of my sensors are not working anymore, proximity, accelerometer, magnetic, etc... (all the ones that show on CPU-Z, none have any data). I've tried factory resetting, I've tried snapshots of Cyanogenmod, I've even tried Slimkat. Nothing seems to work. They only thing I haven't tried yet is to put the original ROM back. I really don't like the Samsung ROM.
Right now, the only way I can get in Landscape mode is to use a camera app that I have called Camera Zoom FX, it goes in Landscape and then everything else is in landscape, but then I can't auto-rotate though. The default camera app won't change to landscape mode though. I've tried installing the app "galaxy2.apk", this is the one when you install another camera it says to rename the file to galaxy2.apk.bak. When I try to install it, it goes throught the whole procedure and then it says the app wasn't installed. I've tried to install it through TWRP, but I can't seem to see it in TWRP as I do in ES File Explorer.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
Ron
Have you tried a factory reset? And for the camera app, you need to push it to /system/app or system/priv-app and set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot

I did do a factory reset has mentioned. And I did push the file in the app folder and I did change the write permissions and even changed the whole folder to RW instead of RO. I've tried a lot of things. Except as mentioned, put back the original ROM. I think somewhere there is a file that needs to go back to default that doesn't change when you do a factory reset (I've done every wipe you can do with TWRP).I think it's software related because not every single sensor would go on the phone. I never dropped it and never had water damage. I did have somebody change the cracked screen though a few months back. But everything was working after it was done.
I'm just hoping that somebody can help me before I install the original ROM. I'm afraid that if I put the original ROM that my phone won't be unlocked anymore.
It won't relock

That's good to know. If I don't find something this week. I'll do that this weekend. Thanks for the help.
I have this problem too, only noticed when my screen should turn off when I'm on a call and its up to my ear. Then I checked and nothing works....frustrating when you loose your ixfinity remote and your ir blaster doesn't work.

I've restored my back up of the stock 4.3 touchwiz and still doesn't work.
This is the GPE ROM that started this.

Here's the deal, my contact's images are still on my phone in the contacts list and when making calls. But, they are gone from my text messages. I have wiped cache/dalvik, fixed permissions, cleared data from the app, reflashed my rom. Any body hae any other ideas of what might synch the images back up?
what rom are you using?
and have you tried removing/re adding or changing the contact picture and see if it shows up?

I'm on MikG3.11
I haven't done that, most pics are synched from FB and a few are from my gallery but, none are working, its so weird. If I bring up a contact and check our message history from there, everything is right but, if I access the messages from the app drawer or desktop shortcut, no images.
????
try what i suggested, if that dont work i suggest a rom reflash or trying to contact MikG

That should get them working again.

I can confirm that this worked with me on ICS.
Just dont know how to:
1. I can select them all
2. But when I press permissions by long press on the list it just changed the permissions for only the file which was just under my finger. Not to all of them.
So I had to do them one by one...
If anybody can instruct me how to change the permission for the whole selections I would be grateful.
I'm trying to set my phone back to stock for an ATT warranty exchange. I had previously rooted with Casual. I used a unrooting app, then used a couple apps to verify I didn't have root. Most apps didn't find root, but one found busybox. I looked for it, and low and behold it's there in system/bin, and protected of course, so I can't delete it. How do I delete it? TIA!
Busybox app on the playstore allows u to install and unistall...

Thanks, I had tried that, but because I'm partly unrooted, I can't even get past the busybox alert screen telling me I'm (obviously) not properly rooted.
Here's the screenshot:

Can't you just flash a stock rom?

How do I do that? I am decent with technology, but have to have clear directions.
Thanks so much! You are all awesome.
Check to see what your phone says about the flash counter, in download mode. Also check if it says it's modified . I have done a warranty exchange a few times with no problems. I always went on download mode, I don't think they are going to use that specific app at the warranty place. After going threw the warranty so many times for black blobs. I'm almost curious if they just check to see if it boots stock with no issues. And gets thrown in a bin that says '' fixed''. Because I've gotten the same phone twice lol.
Anyway, Goodluck, and don't worry about it so much. It will be fine
Thanks for the help! I got it sent back and it was showing not modified when I got it back to stock.
Hello i've some problem with my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2.
Last week i updated my phone on Android 4.3 version.
Unfortunelly i had a wifi bug and I couldn't connect to internet, so I decided to downgrade it to 4.1.2. I've flashed my stock ROM with the newest one. (thanks to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380 )
Afterward, i would rooting my phone and install custom binary CWM by this thread, option 2.
However i can't modifiy system files. I consequently would verify my status root by Titanium Backup. And that's really strange because it is already rooted.

So i'd like to know how to resolve my problem, i how to modify system files?
(PS: sorry for my bad English!)
PS2: That's the same thing if i connect it on SSH/FTP protocols, unable to modify too.
I have T889 version and I just updated today with 4.3 with no problem.
I would say the best thing is just start from scratch and reinstall your app.
I don't even use TB anymore, I used to but I just happen to run into problem a lot.
I decided to just reinstall apps everytime I flash rom.

So, do you advise me to re-install the 4.1.2 version and re-root again?
update: I've re-installed and re-rooting my stock rom and nothing has changed. Can you help me please?

Try using the Odin again and when you full wipe don't even do anything just update to the original 4.3 via Tmobile.
After that install CWM or TWRP, Like I said I never had any issues installing Rom back and forth.
Just don't skip a step and never rush things.

I didin't understood that happened to me,
After several minutes and after downloading an alternative file explorer, SU granted to me to modify system files.
I've read about a million of these threads and researched elsewhere, but am coming back to the experts here.
The issue is that the camera won't work. It says, "unfortunately, gallery has stopped." We did clearing data. We did factory resets. I replaced both front and back cameras. I flashed the factory image.
After flashing the factory image, the phone boots up with "unfortunately gallery has stopped." I tried installing an old MIUI camera that supposedly only uses the back camera. It stops. Barcode Scanner stops. Trying to start a front facing hangouts session....stops. Downloaded some selfie camera app...stops.
Going to take it apart again and check connections. Any other ideas? Maybe the replacement parts from ifixit.com were bad? Or something else...
Thanks.
Ohh...
Previously it wouldn't charge. Changed the battery with an after market (non NFC) and USB FLEX cable. That all works good now...
Boot into recovery and wipe system, cache, data, internal, dalvik cache...and then flash factory image. You maybe didn't wiped all before flashing factory img..
Thanks...will gibe it a try. While I was at it, I also saw that recovery had repair option for some partitions.
Flashing now...
"Unfortunately Gallery has stopped...." right after the setup wizard started.

Both old cameras (top) and new (bottom) look good.
Contacts look good...buy will clean anyway.
A little corrosive damage on the chip cover.
Right next to the back camera contact is a gold surface with some black dots. Are the dots normal, or has something been worn away?
Now were getting somewhere!
Those black spots were some kind of mold/corrosion. Cleaned contacts and installed the old cameras and factory reset.
The camera actually opens now...but to a blackish/greyish screen. Different message now that gallery isn't responding.
Gonna wipe all, flash all...and see what happens.
If that doesn't work, install the new cameras.
...cameras work the same since putting the new ones back in. It opens, but locks up with a black/grey screen. Was going to flash all.bat, but the usb is no dorked. It will charge, but it's not recognized by PC. Took apart and checked again. Same problem.
Maybe I messed something up with a bit of rubbing alcohol trying to clean things up?
This has nothing to do with your camera. Its just the factory image you flashed. Try flashing another image.
sent from my nex7
Could you provide a logcat and the output for the following command in adb?
cat /sys/kernel/debug/remoteproc/omap-rproc.1/trace1
I am having a similar issue wherein both the cameras wouldn't work. It's a broken device that I have bought for development.
Yo guys, I've got a situation here.
So I was using the tablet of my mum, and when I tried to install a navigation app for her, it said that I don't have enough space left. Well I checked and found that:

can any of you guys tell why the heck gallery takes up 8,37 gb?! my mum never ever does any photos with this tablet...
Not sure exactly why it's that big but did you look into the "App info" screen & try to clear data?
I've kinda experienced this on another device but nowhere near that much was being used, turned out it was a temp thumbnail cache file, it just grew bigger & bigger, over 1GB at one time, still have to keep clearing/deleting it every so often.

provided you have root and custom recovery AND your rom is de-odexed
pull the gallery.apk from system and store it on your sdcard, then delete the original.
then go jnto dcim/.thumbnails and clear it. then goto app settings and clear data.
then reboot to recovery and wipe caches. then reboot. then drop gallery apk back into
system, the reset permissions on gallery.apk to 644 then reboot.
now recheck.

K the problem is that this tablet is not mine, it's from my mum, and she doesn't want to root /unlock it because it still got warrenty
with root, i wouldn't be a great problem for me to reset that
I have faced this problem multiple times, this is how i resolved it.
There are two .thumbnails folders
1.) Sdcard
2.) dcim\.thumbnails
Enable hidden files in My Files or ex explorer settings and delete these directories
And using es explorer create a file .thumbnails where the directory used to be
This will ensure that the .thumbnails directory is never created as there is already a file with the same name there.
The dcim/.thumnails is for the gallery
The sdcard/.thumbnails is for the video player
Note: in kitkat use Mx player as the stock video player seems to crash if you create a file at sdcard/.thumbnails
