Help with camera please

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and also new to android phones so please bear with me. I hope I'm asking in the right place if not feel free to move or point me to the correct thread.

I have managed to root and install janjan Google 4.3 rom which is working perfectly. The problem I have is down to myself deleting one of the two gallery's that came with the rom, this also deleted the camera and I'm left with a lesser quality camera now. I've tried reinstalling rom but only one camera is available to me which seems to be poorer version of the one I accidently deleted.

Please ask for any info, Any help is appreciated

Cheers

Hi

I'm a noob for all this, completely. :D so if anyone can help me out that would be great. I have a few questions

i got a S4 i9500 and I want to to use the omega ROM, but I'm not sure how to do it.

1. Copy modem UBUBMH1 and Omega v14.1 files to your device. (So just copy and paste in anywhere in S4?)

2. Boot to recovery and flash modem, reboot device and check if modem UBUBMH1 flashed correctly. (This is where I lost, how to boot to recovery and flash modem. And reboot device?, what is that means by flash?)

3. Boot to recovery again and flash Omega v14.1 (again , lost.......)

Sorry for being a completely noob, if anyone can help me, I would be very thankful:o

Hello,

I seem to have made a horrible mistake on my GS4 i9500.

While going through some settings on crash rom, I happened to change the lcd density to something else (i dont know what i changed it to but I clicked the button and the phone went into reboot)

After the phone reboot, the phone doesnt seem to work normally, giving me all kinds of errors all the time and the screen goes blank and I am even unable to access the settings again to change them back. I understand I changed the settings to some value my phone does not support.

Now I wanna know how can I go back to the default dpi settings and use my phone normally one again? Some kind of a flashable zip file would be a life saver because doing anything while the phone is up is impossible as of now. If no flashable file, then any other method that can help me get my phone back to working normally? BTW, I have already tried factory reset but that didnt change anything.

Did u tried re flashing the Rom again without wiping mostly it will work
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
I'm not using arrow but had a quick look and it seems arrow is using the DPI settings Xposed module.

Have a look on your internal sd to see if there is a file called Xposed-Disabler-recovery.zip, if you flash that xposed will be removed and you DPI settings restored.

After that install Xposed again or flash your Rom again without wipe.

I have I337

The main problem i am facing is related to INSERT SIM.. which happens any time. It is really irritating and i guess it is because of the simcard not because of the software..

I'am new at ROOT so I decided to ask some questions first before rooting my S4.

1. Is CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip is working with Baltic I9505XXUDMH8 firmware where SELinux is Enforcing.

2. Will TA remove flash count?

3. What is the best way to unroot my phone? (if i need to take it to warranty) SuperSU? With the "Temporary unroot" feature or smth else?

4. If something goes wrong and Odin fails to flash will I be able to fix my S4 with Samsung Kies?

5. When the OTA of 4.3 update comes will I be able to upgrade to it? Will I lose ROOT?

6. Witch Odin to use when rooting? Odin3 v3.07 or Odin3-v1.85

Bricked, i think?

Hello xda,

I had ParanoidAndroid on my phone, but it didn't have kies/usb cable support, so i switched to Omega v12 using the recovery(TWRP). I did a full wipe of everything (system,data,cache,dalvik,preload).

After setting Omega up, it was extremely laggy (think it flashed wrong or something...doesn't matter), so i wanted to give a shot to the leaked android 4.3 for samsung.

First issue comes now, the PC didn't recognize my phone (usb device not recognized). Tried on several PCs w/ kies installed.

As a backup plan I downloaded the ROM using my phone's browser. Installed Mobile Odin and I tried to flash it.

Here comes the second issue, after it rebooted, it entered Download Mode...but there was no sign of installing the ROM. After few minutes of staring at it, I took out the battery and tried to boot the phone......the phone was stuck at the "Samsung S4 GT-I9505" screen... recovery won't boot too.

So I went in Download Mode, prepared stock roms on PC, but the PC-Phone connection was not working...(usb device not recognized)...now i'm stuck and I have no idea what to do.

XDA please help me! :(

OK.

Download the ROM again.

Try using the "Clean for a new ROM" option in the recovery wipe section.

And try re-installing the ROM.

Keep doing the same thing .Sometimes it just takes a few goes to work.

If that does not work,you could try a different version of PhilZ's.

Is there a recommended recovery in the ROM thread ?

One of which is the S Planner. Both phones have S Planner. However, on the S4, I was unable to add any events to my shared calendars. For example, my google account is main_acc@gmail.com - I can add events to this, but there's no option to select my shared calendar. I can do this on my S2.

It's just a matter of opinion, I will try a dual boot kernel later, as I really miss the TW Camera, which I think was way better than AOSP. Again it's up to you to decide, go on, download a ROM, make a backup, test. Liked? Good. Didn't? Restore backup or try another ROM :).
