As I've wrote earlier, I don't wanna go for Siyah.

I would like to know what causes this and why this issue is present in 'stable' release, and it's a very major bug.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] m4psycho:
Pretty sure you asked for solutions and not what causes this and why it's present in a stable release.

In any case, lots of people have had no problem with the camera with the stock fresh install. I'm tempted to believe it might be a running app that's causing it but what do I know. Also, the only "known" solution, at least that I recall from this thread, is installing Siyah kernel. Of course you would've known that too if you searched through the thread.....just saying.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] p33t-r:
Ok, just read my 1st post. I've searched the thread and already knew about Siyah being the solution. Wanted any other solution to this, because I wanna go for Temasek's kernel instead of Siyah. Since there are no other solutions, I might drop this Rom for now. Shame, but can't live without camera working.

Anyway, thanks for help and don't find me offensive or sth, I just asked for some unusual help. And I always search through the thread before posting anything.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] m4psycho:
You talking about the post that fantasmanegro replied to? Beacuse if that's the case he answered your question directly: a solution for the problem was to install Siyah lol.

I'm currently using Temasek's kernel directly flashed after stock, and I don't have a problem, or haven't had an issue like that. There is the odd time where the gallery might FC because i'm trying to exit after it froze a bit, and then I can't connect to camera but then a reboot fixes this. I don't know why you refuse to use Siyah, which would potentially fix your biggest "issue" with this ROM, but the choice is most definitely yours.

Do you also have an up to date recovery? Like Philz touch? (this is to fix continually added "/0" directories but might affect this camera problem too?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mark26:
bit of a long shot,but you could try flashing siyah then test camera.then flash temasek. i've had a report that this issue is fixed when going from siyah to yank but don't think yank fixes it on its own. can't test myself because i can't replicate this fc.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] twinsen.net:
I remember, when I first installed Slim Bean on i9300 it was build 3, camera didn't work. Installed Siyah kernel, and just after some days they released build 4 which I flashed and camera started working without any problem. I know that there IS some problem but for now no one from devs wrote about the root causes and so on. Maybe repeat my steps: flash Siyah for a while, then build 5 stable again and try. Maybe something from Siyah is left after flash what is needed for camera to work? I don't know.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mark26:
this is what i was getting at.remnants of siyah seem to fix the issue.your the second user to have sort of confirmed this.

edit: i'm probably the only person on this thread that wants my camera to fc,so i can figure out what the problem is. :p
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fantasmanegro:
to drop or keep the rom, that is your decision...

this is the first time i install an AOSP rom, and i wanted to try because it looks so amazing and fast... first thing i read was camera fc... as you, i cant live without camera... but that is not a reason to get mad...

we need to read a lot trying to find solutions... or asking withtout an answer... the solution for the camera bug was as i said before to install siyah kernel... and that's what i did...

other alternative is to install other camera apk... Snap Camera or AOSP Camera (4.2 camera based).

by the way... the camera included in this rom is working fine with stock kernel...

:good:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] twinsen.net:
I had this problem when I was moving from latest SGS3 stock rom to SlimBean. To reproduce the FC, maybe flashing stock ROM will help to regenerate it? I was on XXELLA (XEO, Poland) stock, then I rooted it with SGS3 toolbox, flashed TWRP recovery 2.2.0, then 3 x wipe and then flash SB build 3.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] p33t-r:
Thanks for all replies. Didn't want to shake the topic this hard :P

Anyway, I'm back on LiquidSmooth now, but really want to make Slim work here, so when I have time, I will definitely try flashing Rom - Siyah - Rom - then Temasek. Should work. But for today I'm sick of it (i did like 12 factory resets / flashes / restores) :P
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] brinsleyparagao:
No picasa?

Hello,,,

This version no have picasa gallery ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kufikugel:
yes install clean :p that you have fc on dev options shows that you did not a clean install from cm to slim ;)

lol good that Liquid is more or less based on SlimBean ;)

As you know guys we cannot reproduce the camera problems in our team.....so the only help for us it to logcat that for us...provide logs here in thread and then we can work on this.

cheers
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fantasmanegro:
what about battery drain?... and sometimes the device gets hot... any clue?...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mark26:
to be honest,i'm not sure i will upgrade to s4. from other users reports,i don't think the improvements over the s3 are significant enough for me to take the plunge.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] p33t-r:
After I reinstall Slim in couple of days I will surely provide a log if I manage to reproduce it again. Now testing Lq.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mark26:
don't flash rom inbetween siyah+temeseck when you do try slim again+please do provide a logcat first before changing kernels if the fc rears its ugly head again.:)

bug reboot phone if placed on multimedia dock gs3

thank you for this great rom.

However, a bug.

there is a special multimedia dock GS3 with output 4 HDMI and USB output.

hdmi can be connected directly to a television or computer screen.

When connecting the phone with this rom gs3 the docking, the phone freezes the display 10 seconds, then restarts.

Is this bug or a rom with the script provided is not complete?

This bug exists for all roms version 4.2.2.

while the normal operation of the lower rom.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] p33t-r:
Flashing Temasek's straight after Siyah is not a good idea. Tried it yesterday with Liquid and I had some issues with governors and cpu behaviour. The splash screen before bootanimations stays on Siyah as well.

Temasek pointed sth about changing kernels and strongly recommended to flash new kernel on stock linux kernel. That's why I wanted to go Siyah-stock-Temasek (hoping that siyah fixes the issue and it will remain in place).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mark26:
right.got you.didn't know.never used temasek.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fantasmanegro:
Before change from non stock kernel to other non stock kernel is recommended to "remove" or clean the scripts of current kernel to avoid the issues you mentioned
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] p33t-r:
That's what I think is done by flashing stock kernel. Any other options to make "this magic thing that will fix the camera" remain and still be able to do the proper "clean" install of another non-stock kernel?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Just dropping by to give a few details on this kernel discussion ;)

Why Temasek suggests going stock before flashing his kernel is because he only replaces the kernel with his in the existing boot image (which is very clean but not usual on S3). All other kernels I know, including mine, come with a full boot image, so no need to go stock first because of this if you're going to other kernels than Temasek's. It won't hurt, but going to other kernels, that extra setp will just make you lose time ;)

Also most kernels configure themselves with some script / app etc. Each needs to cleaned off of your system before going to a different kernel, for this the kernel dev. should provide a cleaning zip to remove his leftovers (I do so, why should I make leaving my kernel complicated ?).

In doubt, you would have to dirty reflash the ROM, that should remove whatever might interfere with another kernel.

As for this thing that would be fixed by Siyah ... I never had an issue with the camera on Slimbean, 0 times I mean, and I never flashed Siyah and I use the camera quite often, so I don't quite get what there is to fix ??

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] supreethms:
AFAIK, i never had problems with the camera too. I guess camera problems were solved (T2Focus with flashlight) was solved in build 4. I am not quite sure. :eek:

Never had it on stock slim kernel and Yank's kernel.

Even some people complained about camera FC when opened from lock screen. Swear to god, i didn't have that too. But the ones who complained had made a dirty flash i guess. Not quite sure about that. ;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jinosong:
Hey man, good to see you here. Regarding the force close with the camera, try installing the Huawei camera which is better anyways. It works a lot better in low light too.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] p33t-r:
Thanks a lot for this explanation. I'm still thinking what could cause this system crash. I have to remind you, that the same thing happens when I try to launch Antutu Benchmark. Phone reboots itself instantly. Why is that and why, or what from Siyah kernel fixes the issue?

Do you think it will solve the issue with Antutu-related system crash too? If it's only for camera then my problem isn't 100% solved.

Anyway, I will try to reproduce the problem maybe tommorrow, I will do nandroid backup, then clean Slim flash. Sorry for noobish question, but where (or how) do I get the log to report here? Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] supreethms:
But there is problem with 1080p recording with Huawei camera, right? :eek:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] davtse:
In the initial phase of the devil kernel testing we had the same issue with antutu rebooting phone and camera crashing the system. It was due to the drivers used or something. You can find out more from the thread.Try flashing official cm10.1 before flashing slimrom build 5 then flash temaseks kernel? I've used the combination multiple times with no issues.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fantasmanegro:
+1, same here... change DPI to 320 and follow all steps in guide...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jinosong:
Correct.

You´re right and samsungs sw is pretty bad :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Antutu crashes the system ?? Well I don't bench as I find it not worth the time it takes to run, but then again, if that get's you a random reboot, that would point to an issue under load !? Ran it, didn't reboot, went through...

Have you tried to nandroid, full wipe, jnstall fresh, run Antutu (on a clean system with stock kernel) ?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mark26:
your input is most welcome mate.i have zero issues with camera myself,but those that do cure by flashing siyah.did notice from a couple of users that siyah seems to leave remnants when flashing another kernel after that keeps the camera fix.i'm no expert,just a tester trying to understand why this problem exists.;)

edit: i agree about benchmarks.best benchmark is to use your phone :p
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] p33t-r:
I already tried running camera and Antutu on full clean install (even with and without gapps). Same issue.

About the Antutu - it doesn't crash when starting the benchmark. The crash is when the app itself is opening (on antutu splash saying 'initializing').
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] scuba156:
Do you have a log of either of these crashes?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] p33t-r:
I will reproduce the issue today or tomorrow when I have access to my computer and I will post the logcat.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Gabeloooooo:
Info was greatly appreciated! Let's pretend someone has installed a lot of kernels over time and hasn't always had a cleanup script to run, is full wipe enough to make everything right before re-flashing slim?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jinosong:
Generally, do AOSP/CM10.1 roms offer the same gaming capabilities as stock roms?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] frwan:
I flashed 5.5 weekly as a second rom for my s3 & as a single rom for s2.

The rom is very good and had a lot of customization.

For the moment i don't have any issue (fingers crossed).

Thanks a lot you did a good job. ;0)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Yep, full wipe is more than enough. Mostly a dirty ROM reflash will clean up the installation, might just need to uninstall the helper app as well (like Stweaks).

Hi

I just installed the rom and I'm pretty happy but for a few things that maybe I just don't know how to set up!

1. In stock 4.1.2 contacts I could swipe right to call or left to message.

2. gallery was far nicer in 4.1.2

apart from these small issues all seems great, I flashed paranoid first but didn't seem as smooth as this rom!

Thanks devs for a good job well done
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mloc33:
1) Is a Samsung thing, as far as I know.

2) Who uses gallery, use Quickpic.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] mgeniusm:
one more thing

in 4.1. 2 I had a shortcut to make folders, now I have a problem dragging icons onto icons to make the folder! sometimes it lets me no problem and others I find myself chasing icons like some sort of game, very frustrating! Is there a limit to how many folders can be on a screen?

Important ..

hi everyone .. i've few questions .. :confused: :confused:

1- when i try to add new contact , it shows me a message "your new contact will be synchronized with (my hotmail account) "

How To Disable that ? .. i DON'T want to synchronize my contacts !

2- i can't find (motions) Tab .. and i can't take screenshots .

3- how can i enable (power saving mode) ? .. can't find it in settings !

4- NFC turns itself on after i restart my phone , is this normal ? :cyclops: i've never used it before .

5- How to clean the ram/memory ? "but without using apps .. there was an (clean memory) option in recent apps .

Thanks in advance :cool:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Malle_eppie:
Don't know all the answers but;

1. Go to Settings>Accounts>your android account; and de-select "contacts" (Sync has to be enabled to select or de-select).

2a. That is a Samsung thing.

2b. You can enable screenshot in your "Power Menu options"... Settings>interface>Power Menu and enable Screenshot.

3. This also is a Samsung thing.

5. Why would you do that??

;)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Theshawty:
I am so very sorry, Mr. Mark, however can I make up for it? :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] kaynpayn:
Indeed, it's a samsung thing but you can get same functionality if you download exDialer from playstore. It's free Apparently they have a trial for 7 days now. Full app costs 2.99€. Still is the best dialer i've ever seen - really fluid.

This is launcher and not really rom related but I've quickly made 6 folders on my screen, so it lets you do that at least (which is more than i ever needed, but tbh i don't really use folders at all).

The trick is to quickly drag on icon over the other. If you do it slowly, the target icon will just slip away. And you can notice this same icon stays shaking slightly - if it's shaking you'll need to return it to it's inicial position if you want to create a folder, else it will just slip away.

TL,DR: Just drag icons quickly to create a folder with no trouble.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JDogg1329:
Thanks for the reply, I do have Maps greenified but it just stays in pending, unless I'm doing something wrong. What could it be doing waking the phone that many times? I'm assuming it's for detecting my location but that seems pretty excessive
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sachilleas:
Try to turn off : Settings- Google - Location settings.

Also, restart your phone and see if maps are greenified or not.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bong0x00:
its pending.. select maps then press the pause button on the bottom of the screen
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JDogg1329:
I'll restart my phone and see what happens. I did turn off location settings for a day or two and didn't notice any increase in battery life, it was pretty much the same and I'd rather keep it on.

EDIT: On restart it says "Maps- Service was started 1:04 ago: GoogleLocationService

I can do that but shouldn't it do that automatically? I thought that was the point of the app?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sachilleas:
It does that automatically for me, but as soon as I run maps app it take some time to Greenify it again..
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JDogg1329:
Hmmmmmm that seems to be the problem. I'll keep an eye on the wakeups.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] bong0x00:
you said its pending right? so maybe the apps is running at that point so its not hibernated. So you can manually press the pause button and see after sometime if it goes back to pending
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JDogg1329:
That makes sense but it doesn't seem to be greenifying the app when the screen goes off.

So since slimbean implemented the feature where you can turn off the shutter sound in the interface, rather than renaming/deleting the camera shutter sound file, I've been using it. However, when I updated to the weekly build, turning off the shutter sound through the interface option doesn't work, and on top of that I can't seem to rename the file with ES file explorer, even though it has root rights. I went back to the official build 5, and the shutter sound option works again, but again I can't seem to manually change/delete the shutter sound file even though I have the superuser rights. Can anyone provide some insight on this? Did slimbean change the permissions so we can't write/change the system data with build 5? or am I missing something?
