[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldDogEyes:
Stuck and seriously annoyed... hope that someone can help... My default ringtone keeps reverting to "unknown ringtone" every few days. I recognize it -- I downloaded it from Zedge a while back but have since removed all non-stock ringtones from my phone in an effort to make this behavior stop. It is continuing and it's driving me crazy.

How do I get rid of that rogue ringtone once and for all?

Stock and NOT rooted... bootloader locked.

Thanks!

Progress

9/9/2013: As far as I can tell, the issues with the camera can't be resolved in the kernel or by using device specific code.

I think that most of the errors we are getting are stopping at proprietary blobs and aren't making it to the kernel driver.

Seems like the only entry points are the camera app Gallery2 ( which would only fix issues for that app and not third party Camera apps) or in the android framework ( com.android.hardware.Camera ).

9/9/2013: Corrected the preview orientation in Gallery2

9/9/2013: Updated to Slim-4.3.beta.5.2 and forked the repositories I'm working with.... reapplying changes...

9/10/2013: Changes reapplied and published. Narrowed down the initial issue with Gallery2 force closing. Its is the flash. Gallery tries to set flash-mode=auto which cases crash.

9/10/2013: Flash (Torch) has been fixed

9/11/2013: I had some thoughts on correcting the rotation problem. Might be able to use getDisplayOrientation; insert an offset. Today I'm going to try and correct the image sizes for the rear camera... Note to self: move preview rotation fix to framework so it fixes 3rd party camera's too..

9/11/2013: Hack to correct picture size values

9/11/2013: I think I got a handle on the rotation problem!!!

9/12/2013: Rotation problem solved! Turns out it was in the kernel all along!

9/13/2013: After doing some thinking last night, I went back to jb 4.1.2 and checked out the dmesg while snapping a photo on the rear cam. I compared that to me memory of the dmesg in 4.3. There are so many things that aren't happening on 4.3 compared to 4.1.2. I don't think the camera driver has changed at all so perhaps there is a high level abstraction, that uses that orchestrates the cam driver, that has changed... I'm going to pull the dmesg's from both and and compare. Will post in development notes.

9/14/2013: Rear cam is being a bear... Going to work on getting proper conversions for flash and focus so those wont be a problem while diagnosing the rear cam...

9/15/2013: I spent most of day yesterday inserting debug code into the camera driver... Trying to learn how the rear camera operates... Today, I'm going to try and trace down msm_poll_config. This even seems generic but is called from the blobs after the camera snap code. It never seems to get the results it's looking for so...

9/20/2013: Light Sensor fixed!

I posted the changes in ktemp's Exhilarate thread here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45409092&postcount=2511

The plan is to fork the necessary repos, I'll try and get that done today...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] car vs driver:
Yeah, saw that ... wasn't sure if you had anything else. We're going to probably have a bit of an issue with the blobs I'm afraid.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Meticulus:
I did make a little progress last night in correcting the preview window orientation in both camera's which I'll post once I get the repo's setup.

So far the front camera will take pictures at VGA and QVGA resolutions, The rear camera will record video at 1280x720 and the front at 640x480

there all just rotated 90 degrees....

I don't think there is an device specific code that we can modify to correct the camera issues. Most errors are thrown from camera.msm8660.so or liboemcamera.so before they get to the kernel driver. I think we'll have to correct them in userspace...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] afme89:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] InkSlinger420:
Yo meticulous,is this one giant leap towards stock camera??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Meticulus:
I'm not sure what you mean by "giant leap" but here is the state of things:

Front camera takes images you just have to bump the quality down to VGA. (images are rotated 90 degrees)

Both cams record video (rotated 90 degrees)

Rear cam wont snap photo

torch/flash works.

Panorama works.

Preview windows rotated properly.

???

I'm working from slimbean but if your building other rom's you might be able to sub-in my repos to get this working in other roms...

I'm still not sure how to approach the rotation problem but, workin' on it.:laugh:

However, its initial price is indeed abusive anyway.

I would suggest waiting a couple of months till prices settle a little.

And if you still think price remains abusive, set you eyes on a Note 2 which is going to be 30/40% cheaper in comparison and it's a GREAT phone ( I have it)

You gonna have 2 choices:

1) Note 3 State-of-the-art phone but quite expensive

or

2) Note 2 an excellent phone nevertheless and way cheaper

I dont know about the Note 2 being way cheaper. I remember paying full price last year ($650) and its currently $704 on AT&T's site. I guess its success caused a price increase.

Cheapest UK price I've seen is from Handtec, where I got my Note 2 from when that was released. It's currently 586 then a fiver postage, I'm literally on the site now about to place the order, but reluctant to until I know which variant is gonna see the most community activity, 3G or LTE.

As the the ones listed on, Expansys, Handtec, Clove etc are all LTE, looks like my decision had been made for me but would still love to know what version is gonna sell more.

It took months for them to figure out a way around the OTA for the DNA:

I would say if you can afford the Note 3 and you want it, get it. The only reason I'm not getting one is I can't afford it. Well, I could it's just that my parent's are going through hard times right now and any extra income goes toward them.

It's a real bummer too. It's hard times for everyone right now I guess.

It's just getting on my phone and doing what I love takes my mind off of all of this BS. It suck's I'm no longer going to be able to write and talk about them. The Note 2 forums have gone pretty much dead. I just found the Note 3 area and it blew me away. The phone isn't even out yet.

Things should be better in a year or so though. I guess I'm going to have to skip this year, it's going to be hard I'm sure at least a few of you know what I'm taking about. It's nice to have at least one thing you love during these hard times. Ehh, I'm already getting depressed.
