Camera can't connect

I've been an omnirom users for the good 6 month, and everything worked as expected with few glitches here and there however after version was bumped to 4.4.4 camera has been very unstable and keep crashing with "camera can't connect" and only reboot works this has been most inconvenientl... Tried to reflash, wipe, do the clean install tried different kernels... Same thing... Today phone rebooted automatically and got stuck on "Android is starting apps" without any success, tried to dirty reflash didn't help, had to do the Clean one...

Anyone else experiencing similar issues, any fix available?

Thanks to developers for the fantastic job they doing!

In what kind of way is your question related to the topic?!
[General Omni Discussion] Jammol:
Only way to be fully safe is to unplug from the system. No tech at all and call it good.
[General Omni Discussion] Hoodahottie:
HI guys,

I tried Omnirom a few months ago and I want to share my thoughts. The ROM was very bland and glitchy in places. Ominrom Privacy guard was not as good as CM's. Omnirom had this thing called omniswitch which is an ugly gray bar with widgets on it. It horribly clashed with android UI and wasn't very useful. I read about CardDAV being implemented in Omni, but that's the only good news. I can't think of any other appealing feature.

Overall, I'm quite disappointed with Omnirom. It had so much promise, but the developers failed to communicate it clearly. The website is ugly mishmash with huge pictures, but little information. Even now, there is no statement on the website about the purpose of Omnirom or why we should consider it.

This is how it looks to me: CM is miles ahead of Omnirom, and it doesn't look like Omni will ever catch up. Omni doesn't have quality control or clear direction. I remember promises about open source ROM installers and many other things that didn't materialise.

Can some of the devs put up a page on the website telling us the major features they added these months? I don't want to seem ungrateful because you coders are working out of love with no pay, but I want to give good feedback. I think they should dispense with nightlies and go to tested monthlies like CM. Can I suggest that you guys start borrowing CM's code? Go ahead and borrow themes, privacy guard and all the things good from CM. This is time no time for pride, all this code is open source so good ahead and take it.

1) Steal good code and practices.

2) Decide what Omnirom is going to do and do it. (I think you should try build the most private and secure ROM)

3) Don't waste time on Omniswitch and distractions like that.

4) Get some good web developers because your current website needs to be shot and replaced with a new one. Also, shoot the current web developer.

5) Communicate what you want on the website. Be clear. What's your mission statement? Why does Omnirom exist? What does Omnirom add to stock android? Don't put up one blog post every two months.

I'm not much of a coder, but I'm willing to help if I think you guys are serious.
[General Omni Discussion] Hoodahottie:
And what happened the Focal app? It hasn't been updated since last December. Is it obsolete?
[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
xplodwild wants to rewrite it at this point. Since L is going to have major changes to the camera API, at this point we're waiting to see what it actually delivers before spending excessive effort on the camera. Unfortunately, also paying the bills takes priority and he's had a paying contract taking up a large portion of his free time.

Truth be told, we all need a vacation at this point. I'm seeing evidence of burnout from a lot of members of the team, I know I'm burned out. So who knows - but I think there's going to be a lot of "taking it easy" and doing research and/or basic things (hardware bringup) until the next development sprint (L) starts.

When we first were getting things off of the ground, we had a small team supporting only a small handful of devices. Once we went public, much of the focus wound up going towards team-building and improving organizational aspects of things. (We still have a LOT of work we need to do as far as maintainer communications.) Some devices aren't getting the attention they need due to the maintainers for them having too many devices, some (like I9300) simply don't have any maintainers at all any more. We've had a few too many fly-by-night maintainers that got a device merged and then disappeared almost immediately, so we're trying to figure out ways to prevent that from happening again. Among other things, with L we're going to have to make some difficult decisions about dropping a number of devices as they've taken too many resources and just aren't showing the best of what we have to offer. (Nearly every Exynos4 device is in this category... I personally want to just kill the entire family and not ever worry about it any more, but there are unfortunately still quite a lot of users of those devices.)
[General Omni Discussion] Hoodahottie:
I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I criticized your work above, but only so that you can improve. Before we continue, I want to thank you for your dedication to an unpaid project like Omnirom.

What's the future for Omnirom? Does it have one or is the team too burnt out?

I want to make Omni into the best and most private and secure ROM. How can people like me help?
[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
Well much of the KK cycle has been learning and team-building. We've made a lot of mistakes we're trying to find solutions to.

For L, I've been talking about giving a few more people (like Humberto) +2 so the review load can be spread out a bit.

Plus, usually a fresh pile of source code is energizing. Even back when we were all in CM - You could see the pace of things slow down near the end of an Android cycle. People would take breaks to make sure they were ready when the insanity started. (I'm going to be going out of town for a week and a half soon, for example.)

Omni - The Open ROM

I like the wiki title, it implies a lot of the points you've mentioned.

Distraction? Omni switch is a neat switcher with great functionality only a swipe away.

Hope you guys get back on track! I believe there is a need for an open cutom ROM.
[General Omni Discussion] Hoodahottie:
Entropy, I hope the Omni team learns from its mistakes and builds a great L release.

I'm sorry, but IMHO when I last used Omniswitch, it was an ugly grey bar that looked bolted on and wasn't very useful.

All ROMs are "open" because Android is open source. Omni is more open than CM, but the quality and support is worse.

The wiki title is the only part that hints about the nature of Omnirom. Omni removed the Google Analytics class from AOSP that tracks user data. It implemented CardDAV functionality to bypass Google. More than any other ROM, it's taking steps to be less dependent on Google. I just don't understand why Omnirom doesn't advertise these features.

I know they disagree with Cyanogen and broke away but Omnirom doesn't have millions in funding. I think OMNI should base itself on CM, not AOSP and build on the millions of dollars of additional functionality that CM is developing.

It would be easier to build Omnirom on CM and strip out the stuff they don't agree with than building on AOSP and trying to be better than CM without CM's financial backing.

CM has enough money to support dozens of devices but Omni simply can't compete there.

But given the acrimony, I wonder if the Omnirom team is too proud to work with CM. Or maybe that relationship is too damaged.

At least, Omni should borrow lots and lots of CM's bugfixes and features. Omni is far behind CM on features and quality.
[General Omni Discussion] jumoog:
Sure Omni just care about security ..

but why you add stuff like this -> https://github.com/omnirom/android_frameworks_base/commit/2bf69d96802a4b1f2f135a6bde097c0243c5ec20

Now every app with android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE have system rights

//Edit:

sure maybe the user need to confirm the App but we all know how easy it is to fake apps

[General Omni Discussion] Abhimanyu9600:
Haa
[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
Sorry, we're not kangers. And we have a specific policy of not pulling in stuff from CM that we don't fully understand, because they do have quality issues and Cyngn employees have a bad habit of not documenting anything. See Bluetooth - for every Bluetooth issue they've fixed, they've caused a regression with other configurations. Pulser can probably give you a 5-page rant on CM and Bluetooth. :) So yes, we'll cherry-pick patches from CM if the patch is understood and we know what it's doing - if we just blindly track their repositories we're just "along for the ride" with crap like their frankendisplay mess.

Because it's very difficult (if not impossible) to support NoGapps without this. (Read the commit message)

Although I'll talk to Pulser if there's some way to bump up the ProtectionLevel of this to system, since a GMS replacement is usually installed in /system.

Everything is a tradeoff...

Anyway to get Small Apps running with this rom?

Also, I welcome you to open arms to our beloved Togari!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KLLSWITCH:
i dont think there is a way to get small apps running on an AOSP rom.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wooki:
Hello,

i've just freshly installed your rom! Looks nice but there's one "bug":

When turning off PIE i don't get any softkeys at the bottom of the device!

Even adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to the build.prob didn't help! :(

Also i've got one question:

Is it possible to switch internal / external storage?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
Check out foldermount mate
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wooki:
I'm using Foldermount but it's so much work!

I switched the storage on my old Galaxy S2 and it used the small internal memory for clockwork/titanium backups and roms/kernels which was enough.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
I just disable the checks and map the android/data and android/obb folders which takes care of 90% of all app data. :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] T33H00:
The best rom so far. No wifi issued. Very stable, good battery after one day used.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] KLLSWITCH:
glad everyone is enjoying it i wish i could run it but i dont have the phone lol anyway i will be keeping this thread updated as i hope to get this phone soon.:good:

you may want to check and see if nav buttons are turned on in hybrid settings.

stuck on boot loop

im stuck on boot loop is it cos of the firmware in was on .290

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] coilbio:
What process did you guys go about in flashing pacman 4.4?

Do you just flash the cm11boot Image then boot into recover, etc.. etc..?

I'm on the most recent pacman 4.3 btw.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] serberto:
I flashed 4.3 back. I used procedure from Pacman forum: Full wipe/and flash. I did not flash cm11boot however.

I noticed that Camera app does not work and there is no Packman Rom settings at all (eg. PA).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] coilbio:
Thats weird. Aphex13 says it works up above.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
Not specifically. "Everything seems" =/= "Everything is"

But the Camera is working for me.

Hybrid Settings won't be there because the PA team haven't released it for their ROMs yet, and they won't until their Base ROM is out of Beta.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
I have restored back to Carbon for now, as there are a few things about this instance of PAC that I'm not comfortable with, but could someone still running this report on battery life, as from my brief look around the ROM, it might have been released on XDA a little while ago under a different name, as the PAC pellets have the same entries as a ROM which I won't name As I Cannot Prove plagiarism as this time.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Aphex13:
I was on Carbon. I dirty flashed the rom from recovery. Then I flashed PA GApps. Some of my system settings didn't carry over from Carbon. So I just went through them all, and everything is working well. The camera hung the first time I opened it, but it's working fine after a reboot.

I'm using t-mobile in Germany, and my mobile data is working fine automatically. I didn't have to change any apn settings or anything.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] madsponge26:
did anyone full wipe and install the latest nightly? still the ime/baseband is missing?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ashankanand:
yeah i did that i was on slim rom and i waiting for pac rom and now i have boot loop and when i head back to the nand back up lost baseband
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Aphex13:
Try flashing on top of a working Carbon 4.4 or CM11. It's worked both ways for me without problems. I tried dirty flashing, and with a factory reset from recovery, both went smoothly for me. I'm using a LTE version Ultra.

I've seen other posts about a baseband conflict turning imei numbers to 0000000... Might be worth a search.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] serberto:
I have small issue with 4.3 build thought. Very often I am getting "System IO will stop" message. It happens usually after I install something or close application. Anyone has the same issue?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jamesst20:
Official KitKat Build of March 4 is AMAZING !

Current bugs I have :

Crash when receiving call if device is not on lockscreen

Navigation bar is not transparent in Kitkat Launcher

Navigation Bar is ignored in Sony Xperia Z Ultra port Launcher

Camera is slow to start and freeze for few sec on first launch after boot.

What I miss : Vibration intensity
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Aphex13:
Vibration intensity is under the "device" menu, inside the "more" selection.

I suppose that current build will be bootlooped when installed on 6802 model - anyone can confirm this?

so i installed the new nightly and my imei is gone :(, i've tried going back and going to carbon but it's still gone
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] estuardo4:
I've been dirty flashing the nightlies since three days ago. Everything seems to be working, excepting the crash when you receive a call and the device is not locked up and the call history is always missing, no matter what dialer app I use.

Is there a forum that have more information about PAC ROM 4.4.2? The dialogue here is really scarce.

Thank you.

Tried 14.4.2 PAC 0303, 0308, 0310. and all of them have bootloops.

I hope it fixed soon
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dizzyberkowitz:
If you on 6802, this bug is from CM.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jamesst20:
never heard about this issue, just make sure you are using latest baseband version from 14.2.0.136 (something like it) and then flash pac-man :)

gonna try later.. miss the pacman rom!

Hey, flashed pac man rom, sim card not recognized now. I'd like to go back to 14.2.A.1.136 stock rom. How does one go on about that? Is it ok to use flashtool and flash 14.2.A.1.136 "Generic GM" ROM that I found online back in? /I'm in UK, but couldn't find any other european version than GM - Germany/. I'm on Z Ultra C6833, rooted and unlocked boot loader. Thanks for advice!

How's the battery life on this thing compared to stock?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
try this again (thought it was wrong thread went to another only to realize this was the right one)

just that this is for 3-14 nightly

thanks for the work blownco

great package..some suggestions

1) add screenshot option to put in menu choice for nav buttons

2) add power (reboot options) also in menu choice for nav buttons

3) add transparency to quick settings tiles

Speed Problem; Really Slow

PAC has long been my favorite ROM, and I've used it on my last couple of phones. But I've recently acquired the Z Ultra and I'm sad to see that on the PAC ROM things go less than half the speed of the stock ROM. On Quadrant Standard I usually get around 21,000 on the stock, but only between 8,000 and 9,000 on this ROM. I also notice it in my game playing (BTD5 and Bloons Battles to be specific). Is there something I can do to speed things up?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
themes just got fixed 4/18..

this rom (pacrom not to be confused with paranoid rom) is now having most features versus other variants...

is best imo among all aosp/cm11/etc non-stock roms
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Not everyone wants a ROM packed full of features that they never use, that's why there are ROMs like Carbon/Slim/Liquid. I also feel that there is better integration of the features that they do include than on PAC/PA
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
---del
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mac231us:
to each his own..rom (and imo felt one rom had more features than others, then that is ok..was just trying to point someone to look at pacrom because of his frustration with updates)

so what if one rom has features people 'do not use' (supposedly)..why even gravitate to aosp for that matter as to aosp is mostly about added functionality a.k.a features. I supported carbon (you), liquid etc in whatever way I could including my humble wallet (does not give me a license to promote or complain but saying I have been fair..as a developer of carbon having your own rom, I understand your inclination)

this is the pacrom board, and I chose to talk about pacrom in whatever small way I could (did not come to carbon to talk of pacrom).

the pacman updates have been great (one time the recovery power menu did not work..but now things have been polished up a lot..great work by the developers here)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I'm not a developer of carbon, only build for other users so have no agenda to push it, I have also built slim and liquid from source for myself and others.

When I first came to android I liked all the features in PAC/PA, but find myself wanting wanting the simpler UI of carbon/slim more now and they have all the features I need with the addition of a xposed module or two.
