[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
Philz is an outdated recovery. Install the latest TWRP. You will likely need to either decide to stick with Lollypop or clean flash every single time you flash back and forth. Each subsequent upgrade to android requires a clean flash.. That includes wiping system, data, and cache. Your backups can only be restored from TWRP to TWRP or CWM to CWM.. I've never tried to restore from one android version to the next, but recommend you simply use Titanium Backup to restore apps (without data to avoid issues) or let Google do the auto restore backup on first boot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
I have restored back to kit Kat fine from this Rom with no problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Thanks for the input!

I used TWRP until like 12/1 build of cm12, then it became completely flaky - rebooting spontaneously in recovery wiping or doing anything. I moved from 2.7.1.0 to 2.8.1.0 but same thing. (I take it you're using TWRP?) By the way, I can't get ADB to work on either TWRP 2.8.x build. Also, Philz will backup and restore both TWRP and CWM.

I've had no problems ever going back and forth restoring nandroids between 4.3 and 4.4.x, but this 5.0 is a different animal I guess. I've tried wiping system, data and cache but no go. Still trying to find a way....

Hi,

maybe this is the wrong Thread/Forum, but I get no Solution anywhere else.

I hav a Xoom MZ601 Everest.

With the Xoom Stock Rom on my Motorola Xoom MZ601 (and also on my Stock S3) I can use various USBToSerial Adapters.

With CM and AssefMod V5 they are not recognized.

Tested with PhysicaloidLibrary, usb-serial-for-android, FTDI Java D2XX Drivers.

Maybe this is a similar Problem:

I own a elecom dvb-t-receiver 12123, which worked well on Xoom stock rom (and also on my Stock S3), but not on cm 10.1, AssefMod V5, maybe others.

It doesn't recognize the Stick.

I asked this also in CM Forum, but no replies (topic/76604-elecom-dvb-t-receiver-12123-not-recognized)

Anyone any Idea what is missing there and why it runs with Stock Rom ?

How to fix ? Fix possible ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overblaze:
Hi,

I bought a S2 a month ago. The phone is rooted and I currently have a CM Rom (the official one for the i9100 - 10.1.3.i9100 - Android 4.2.2).

The camera always worked fine but after a while the front camera ceased working.

I can the front camera with no problem whatsoever but as soon as I try to use the front camera it does work, the app freezes and says: "The gallexy has stopped bla bla bla..."

I went and searched the web, lots of guys get this fixed by clearing the data/cache or whatever, but nothing has been working for me...

I tried a different ROM, making a totally clean install - but still nothing - I also have already tried a bunch of updates im the original CM Rom (RC, Stable and nightly) and I never get the camera to work nor does it work a single time...

Can you guys help me?

Thanks.

What a really old thread... but yeah, the apk provided there can be installed but when I open it forces close saying the app is crashed.

I've now went to 4.3.1 (latest version of CM) and updated the Gaaaps to the correct version... the problem is still there.

I see this problem on lots of different threads and lots of this people just seem to accept that they have no front camera anymore, lol...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overblaze:
...also been looking for a way to install Samsung Apps on my S2 but it seems to be impossible on a non-stock ROM.

Going all the way back to STOCK and them trying to do something about the camera firmware (trough Samsung Apps) and then going to CM again is something which I'm reticent to do, mostly because I don't even know if this is really a firmware problem...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overblaze:
Back to Stock...

So... I went all the way back to STOCK... I now can input the codes discussed on that thread

Cam FW Ver: SBEF02

Phone FW Ver: TBEC28

It looks like this module has a really bad reputation, still it bothers me... Most people on that post complain about pink dots, lag, shuttering etc... I'm only lacking on a front camera... The focus on the front camera was slow sometimes, yes. But most of the times I had no problem making a movie or taking a picture...

I had a front camera and now I dont...

WTF!?

Any insights and/or advise?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overblaze:
BTW I tested *#0*# (a so called LCD TEST appears) and went I try Front cam it says: "camera failed"...

I picked this phone over the front camera... I'm seriously mad.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedzkiiii:
When you go back to stock firmware did you wipe data after flashing using odin?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overblaze:
Yeah I did. I had access to the front camera on all roms: since stock and then into Cyanogen... When I upgraded to the latest version I also had no problem using the front cam but one day it just went dead.

I've already changed ROM/Kernel a bunch of times so I can pretty much rule out software (?)

I'm really not in the mood to go to Samsung and have all the trouble of losing my phone for a month (in the best case scenario) and having to unroot it and re-stock it again...

The front camera module is a really cheap part and my next step would be to open the damned phone and just retry to reassemble the module it self...

From there I'll order a new one (if I find that my current one is properly assembled and just malfunctioning)...

Am I going too fast? Is there any way to completely rule out a software issue?

Thanks :D

PS. I need to point out that the camera didn't stopped working "after a ROM change"... It actually stopped working DURING a rom (CM official nightly).

[Moto X Themes and Apps] TalB123:
Doesn't seem to work alongside Active Display.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] :
What do you mean? It doesn't open the app directly but sliding cover away seems easy enough...

I just made a video of what I see. Does yours react the same way?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYiAFK7rcBM
[Moto X Themes and Apps] TalB123:
Yeah, mine looks the same. My point is that when I use Active Display to unlock my phone, I'd like it to unlock completely, not open my lockscreen. Cover is simply doubling my effort to unlock my phone, with the only added benefit being that mini-launcher which I may or may not end up using. But unlocking my phone sans Cover opens my launcher anyway, so where's the added benefit? Plus, opening a notified app through Active Display (id est, dragging your finger up to a notification) just puts Cover in the way.

tl;dr - Cover provides Active Display users little to no benefit, and kinda just gets in the way, so what's the point?

I, along with (as of writing this) 30-ish other Play Store reviewers, will be waiting for the app to support Active Display before using it.

[Nexus 5 General] Ady1976:
Ok guy's I wanted to start a poll regarding the camera quality since 4.4.2.

I love my nexus 5 but I found the camera when it was stock 4.4 was impressive even in low light with the flash, However because so many people were complaining about the speed of it taking shots (it didn't bother me as long as it took nice photo's) Now google have responded with 4.4.2 and speeded the camera shot process however the image quality has reduced by some margin even in well lit area's,

So basically this is a poll to gauge who wants to take better quality photo's or faster photo's

Personally I couldn't care less how long it took as long they were good quality photo's...
[Nexus 5 General] g01851:
Makes me glad I got the phone about the same time 4.4.2 came out :)
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Requesting new poll option: Use a different camera app and be able to do both. No need to be limited by the automatic settings.
[Nexus 5 General] Ady1976:
The trouble is as far as I know there is no 3rd party app that uses HDR+ mode.
[Nexus 5 General] hello00:
u can't tell the difference if u use HDR Camera+ and Snap Camera HDR
[Nexus 5 General] Ady1976:
Does that app have Jpeg compression settings level similar to Camera JB+ ?
[Nexus 5 General] hello00:
im not sure..maybe if u get the paid version for both of them
[Nexus 5 General] Ady1976:
Thanks I shall have a look at that and compare some daylight and night shots.
[Nexus 5 General] Sirgatory:
I for one am not updating to 4.4.1, or 4.4.2. I have no complaints with the release software. Who gives a **** about how good the stock photos are. If you care even marginally about image quality then you should know how to properly edit a photo. Simple as that. I love this phone.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
Day shots are as good as before, night shots are worse, more noise and it's just not impressive anymore. I'd take the slower shutter for night shots anytime, and keep the new behavior for daylight shots.
[Nexus 5 General] R3ap67:
At least for me, low light camera shots look extremely better in HDR+ with the 4.4.2 update over the 4.4 release, but I can't tell a difference on day shots
[Nexus 5 General] Ady1976:
That's exactly my point, I was extremely happy with stock 4.4, Camera was fine and video's were great so I'm gauging who prefers quality over speed of shots.

Question ? When your in the market for a compact camera what is end users primary concern ? How good the images are ? Or how fast it take shots ? Exactly point proved and judging from the results of the poll so far looks like I'm not alone either.
[Nexus 5 General] nX3NTY:
Agreed, they boosted the ISO because they increase the shutter speed in low light thus images turns up pretty noisy. What's the point of having OIS when it can't use it? It's better to have slower shutter and low ISO to make the image sharper and less noise in dark environment, just make the OIS more aggressive, come on Google don't fail me now
[Nexus 5 General] Neurotica:
I came from the HTC One and iPhone 5s. I dumped both for the N5 that I purchased used that was already updated to 4.4.2.

The noise level is way too high. Day or night. Focus issues are still present. What's worst is that I can never get a clean, clear shot. I don't even want to transfer the images taken from the N5 to the computer because I know it will be a lot worse than what I see on my phone.

I purchased Camera Awesome. Didn't do anything to help with the issue. Does anyone else have any suggestions as to a better app to use? Or a mod for a previous version?
[Nexus 5 General] muEcke*:
I prefer faster shots. With 4.4 I almost went nuts... especially in dark areas it was almost impossible to focus. So for me I accept the 5% worse quality and get 100% faster shots.
[Nexus 5 General] XxNitr0xX:
Very impressed with day shots, have yet to try a night shot, but I did notice the screen was much darker.
[Nexus 5 General] gefilus:
Pictures is good, but in update i lost so good video quality, now camcorder is so dark, cant see the thing when there dark environment. And i dont know why
[Nexus 5 General] rr5678:
Whatever they did to the camera they need to revert it. All photos shouldn't look like they were taken with an ISO of 800.

EDIT: It's worse than I thought. A relatively bright photo = ISO 1336.
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
I prefer the quicker photo's. I don't need a camera to take pictures of my dinner or a flower. Anyone who has kids is definitley enjoying the update.

If you look through the picture thread here the majority of the pics are people's food. I don't really need to keep a picture journal of what I eat. lol
[Nexus 5 General] BoneXDA:
Doesn't matter if it has since jpeg compression is driver controlled on Android and apps with "quality control" merely recompress what's coming from the ISP.
[Nexus 5 General] rr5678:
Well let me tell you, I'm not taking photos of my food. And it sucks that what could be a nice shot is ruined by an overagressive ISO algorithm
[Nexus 5 General] MarkFromLondon:
I can't complain about the quality of my camera. Maybe I'm easily pleased but it's at least as good as my Canon Ixus compact.
[Nexus 5 General] Cinner:
Instead of undoing the changes Google made to the camera, would it not be best to simply give us control over the ISO, like most other Android smartphones do?

Me, I'm happy with the faster shutter on 4.4.2, because I mostly take pictures of moving subjects which now come out less blurry.
[Nexus 5 General] Ady1976:
I've tried it and it's no good, Flash timing is not right with this app and kit kat.
[Nexus 5 General] Ady1976:
I don't take pictures of my food either and judging by the poll so far your in the minority. My issue with the latest update is excessive noise in the images that were far better with 4.4.

Fact is this camera is capable so why is Google crippling it just because of some speed junkies ?
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
There is a difference between a speed junkie and not being able to capture any picture with something that has the ability to move before the 3 seconds was up that it took to take a picture.

I felt like I was using a camera phone from years ago with the lag the camera had. You think this pole represents the majority of people? I really hope Google sold more then 120 devices.

[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
I take photos as part of my job. A real photographer will tell you the person taking the picture has more of an impact on the photo than the camera does.

A good photographer can take great photos with just about anything. I have had zero complaints with our devices camera since the 4.2.2 update.
[Nexus 5 General] jdk2:
I was thinking about this earlier. I can't take pictures. Seems like every other one turns out looking like crap. Then there's the one that looks like it ought to be in a magazine. No rhyme or reason except the nut behind the lens :o
[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
It has a lot to do with how you as the photographer setup your shot. Angle and lighting is everything, and small adjustments can really have a big impact on your photos.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
angle and lighting, the proper lighting for the type of shot you want, a little creativity in how the shot is setup, and using the lighting thats around even if its not good by setting up the whole shot according to the lighting available..

ive been posting photos for a long time. from the original g1 to every nexus thats come out. some of these cameras were terrible, but ive managed to capture many great shots with them. you cant expect the camera to do all the work for you and capture a great shot. you need to adjust settings accordinly most importantly, and capture the object yourself, just using the camera as a tool. i never use autofocus. while it does focus, generally on everything, id rather what i focus on to be sharp. so i touch to focus everything. even flying birds by either following their flight with the cam then focusing snd snapping, or by focusing where i expect them to be before they are there. i can go on, but im heading into the grocery store.. :)
[Nexus 5 General] espeanage:
There should be an option for both. I can't take higher quality pics of constantly moving pets, so the speed helps, however, I do want higher quality pics when taking still shots of landscapes.
[Nexus 5 General] Jirv311:
Pretty sure I have yet to benefit from OIS. I still have bad autofocus issues and end up missing "the moments that matter" quite often either waiting for focus or because focus doesn't work at all. Honestly my S3 camera produced better images and was worlds faster.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
OIS mainly helps with videos rather than still photos, and I've noticed that it makes a very noticeable difference when I'm taking a video. It really does prevent a lot of the shakiness that you get with phone cameras. As far as photo quality, I get much better photos with my N5 than my wife does with her S3. YMMV, I guess.
[Nexus 5 General] usernotfound:

Dark video recording in low light conditions and too bright photos in the day, at least if they aren't going to fix it they could put a bright to dark option (sorry IDK how i'ts called)
