Camera does not work

After install, the camera does not work.

1. Either the phone restarts

2. Camera process stops

3. Gallery does not play video
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
What app are you using? Use the stock camera app or Focal, and record in 720p, not 1080p to see if gallery plays that video.

Check this for issues: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49264199. I know it's the OpenSEMC thread but the issues are mostly shared for all of our Android 4.4.2 ROMs.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] VII.7:
I'm at a loss. I've flashed the ROM via twrp and it boots and works perfectly. However, if I reboot, I get stuck. Happened with OpenSEMC but eventually it booted. I've waited more than 30mins and nothing. Does this hint at something I'm doing wrong? Or just a bug with some versions of the xperia S lt26i? I did a factory reset (data, dalvik, cache) before installing. Could it be related to the GAPPS I'm using? I'm really out of ideas here...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xDroidZz:
Stuck at boot logo or Stuck at Black screen? Those two problems are common in PA. I suggest you to use Mr.Shutdown :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:

After first 15 minutes waiting, soft shutdown phone with power + vol+

Then power on it and wait another 15 minutes until you see boot logo

Alright another test for the camera. Check and see if the build date is right this time.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xDroidZz:
i cant test right now deedwar :( im going to school tright now and i need my battery lol. Waiting for responses of other testers then.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] VII.7:
Thank you, that apparently worked! :good:

At least this fixed the slow camera for me..many thanks. :D

[MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION] will this be available in tomorrow's official build?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
Yeah if i can get someone else to confirm it works then i will push the changes.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
My internet is crap today. Can anyone please confirm? I see a lot of downloads on AFH
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andreacorti:
push it! it works
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] karasev1:
it's working dude, you can push it :good:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
It is done. Turns out it was the camera blobs i changed that was doing it. So im afriad you will have to put up with whatever quality it used to be if it was actually that much of an improvement or not it is too much of an issue to leave it with the pause.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xDroidZz:
Great job deedwar :good: . and thanks for the testers :D just came from school.

The quality Video/Picture is good already, no need to change stuffs ! :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deepsal:
I cant see today's official build on the website, but I figure it should be up soon I guess l the major flaws have been fixed now right?

I do have some questions however

Do I have to install the screenshot fix zip in the official builds after installing

And do I have to install a different kernel or is the kernel included in the rom,?

Currently on 4.1.2 official firmware

And also I can't thank you enough deedwar thanks a lot <3
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
Tomorrow is usually when the weekly is released.

You will always have to flash the fix as the patch i need to fix it has to be pushed manually and there systems are automated and out of my control.

The kernel is always included in the ROM zip itself just flash it and then the screenshot fix then your Gapps and your ready to go.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] S4RSZ:
Quick question, could you update the link to the official version in the first post? Now it is redirecting to : http://91.hostingsharedbox.com:3000/aospal/roms/nozomi/ which is a dead end. It should be http://aospal.hostingsharedbox.com/aospal/roms/nozomi if I'm correct. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Will check the image quality in tomorrow's official build.

Going to keep the previous kernel in case I need better images. Other than the kernel, what files do I need to replace in the ROM itself [MENTION=1171001]deedwar[/MENTION]? I remember you mentioned system/lib/libcald_pal.so

And I'm still curious about how the build with 1.24 kernel worked without any issues ? Since it captured much better images I assume it had .96 blobs but there wasn't any startup delay
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xDroidZz:
Yep, i would suggest you to edit your Thread deedwar :D so that new people can see the right download link so that also they wont ask and ask again and again. :good:

And to put this Picture instead of 3+
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
It wasnt the kernel that was the issue it was the 1 blob file i changed from .211 to .96. If you need to keep the file and replace it the file "system/lib/libcald_pal.so" if you keep that one from the last official then replace that in the next official it should be the same quality but with lag.

Because i didnt do a clean build it must have kept the old files and it was a placebo effect.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Yea perhaps it was ?

Music Bug

When i connect my hand-free to the phone, and then i press home button, when launcher takes me to home

the sound is transferred to external speaker, and when i open any app or even browse far from home screen it go back again to hands-free or ear speakers what ever is connected

Very important notice: this does not happen when i listen to music with any Bluetooth device.

currently i am on latest beta 4.6, and this issue exists from the first version i installed 4.4 RC
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mpulock:
It's a known bug, you could have search the thread. Anyway, It's because of Google Now launcher. Make your default launcher as 'Launcher3'. Hope, it helps. Next time, try to flash Gapps without 'Google Now launcher'. Best of luck. :good::good:

No Problem, man, just carry on using this awesome ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xDroidZz:
Why would you even disable it ? Replacing it with a Nav Bar is crappy as hell. Our screen is tiny for a nav bar and it makes your phone laggy as well.

at last I can post in this thread

I'm using PA since RC1n now in 4.6 Beta1 I've this bug in the official and test build dated 4/9 a message pops up saying goggle play service has stopped , in the app info all buttons are disabled .

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deepanshunamdeo:
help me finding,
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] S4RSZ:
I dont know if it is related to the app, when watching the video in the browser, via m.youtube.com the result is the same.

To be sure i tried it again today on the test build deedwar posted. I started a catlog and screenrecording via adb to show you guys what I mean.

The video is a bit different then what is actually shown on my screen in the beginning, but the problem is that it is just gray, with an image the is chopped in to random pieces. THe strange thing is sometimes it play normally, sometimes it doesn't. You can see this in the movie.

Also when i tried to watch the screenrecording on my device using MX player, the video had wrong colors etc. So I'll try some video test files later.

During the youtube test i had a catlog on which is in the attachment, together with the deviceinfo. Also a link to the screenrecording:Youtube test

And a link to the video I'm testing it with: Big Buck Bunny

installed paranoid for the first time I can confirm the YouTube bug :(

currently running deedwar's test build with fixed camera which he posted on 7th

---------- Post added at 12:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

installed the test build posted on 7th September facing these issues right now

-I can't find android l styled recent apps/new colour changing status bar in paranoid is it because I am using the test build ?

-facing the YouTube video bug described above

-I used sw audio decoder with hw decoder on MX player to get a louder volume but selecting sw audio decoder makes the video laggy

and finally I want to know if ota for xperia s are as good as a clean flash should I flash 4.6 beta 1 with slow camera and expect the ota to fix it and bring new features without creating bugs?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoopvp:
Thanks.. Great work

Hi,

I have been using PA on my Xperia S for last one month. First of all, this is a great effort, Thanks to RaymanFX and Deedwar for all the contributions and hard work, also many thanks to all the testers of this ROM. I will also like to actively test the builds and also would like to contribute to the development.

The Xperia S is with me for last 2 years and the ROM of PA is almost equal to a daily driver. In many cases its a daily driver. I never felt any issue while using the call feature, Wifi, video playback, music playback, chat, SMS, emails, Firefox etc.. But there are some lost pieces of jigsaw...

FM - I don't know the exact reason (Hope we can use some binaries from 6.2.B.1.96 to fix this issue)

HDMI - Its not working for me (I have a Sony LCD so I used to connect the phone to watch videos and movies)

Sony Apps - The Sony Apps like Walkman and Gallery are too good.

Camera - Till last official update the camera was not up to the mark, but the last one fixed the image quality, but was slow. Hope the next release will not kill the image quality

Apart from the above, hats off for Bluetooth, NFC, Wifi, the overall functionality of device, the display, awesome battery life... Thanks

Hope we can address these issues by working together.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xDroidZz:
NFC? does it work for you?

Ported Sony apps works but didnt tried it yet.

im on 4.2.2 right now since it does look the same as 4.4.(dont know the difference between those two, hope someone could clarify it for me lol)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoopvp:
Yep... NFC is working for me... I was able to send file to a nexus device. But I miss HDMI, good camera and FM (in the past I used it - very rarely).

Can some one tell me how I can create a custom ROM? Is it possible to use the binaries from 6.2.B.1.96 for creation of a Kitkat based ROM?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] patrol-cz:
Hi!

I'm new to this ROM. For now, most of the things I've tried are working, so many thanks to the developers!

One small bug maybe - the notification LED custom colors seem to not work - they can be set up (e.g. for charging), but when the device is then charged, the original colors are used.

Does it work for anybody ?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
PA hasn't released the sources for new recents menu, so it's only available in official builds. (This has been mentioned before)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
To learn the best place to start is here. As for the binaries from .96 what do you think we use now, and why do you think we have problems it is because we are using OLD binaries with a NEW version. You get all kinds of errors with video because of it and that is where most of the issues seem to be.

If you want HDMI and normal Camera and FM use Apology11's rom here. That has what you want but it is minimal as you can get. Completely different source and different kernel. I have tried getting it to work with CM and PA and every other CM based rom there is but i cant get it to build with everything working and if that isnt the case why even bother using it at all.

If you want to learn how to create a custom ROM i suggest you do a bit of research it is a bit of a steep learning curve but once you get to the top it is all down hill from there. The kernel development is the hard bit.

So, premised I'm still running 31 August build.. And that I never ever enabled or used NFC this month..

I have a damn annoying bug. It keeps wakelocking and sucking battery.

And until I reboot I can't even toggle it, it just keeps being grey

And ironically, while I was taking the logcat, I noticed youtube (on browser) gives me a black screen too
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deedwar:
I cant see anything that would make it do what it is doing. I do see alot of connection requests for your mobile network are you just getting one bar.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
So.. I found nfc becomes bugged when I quit airplane mode..

I hope something may be interesting in this logcat taken during that

In particular

W/Settings(875): Setting airplane_mode_on has moved from android.provider.Settings.System to android.provider.Settings.Global, returning read-only value.

But anyway I guess it's just time to update. Stupid lazyness

Besides, would you also accept feedback from abcdjdj's carbon rom? It should be always based on you kernel and I had like to use sometjing which is not pa after 2 months :pok.. It seems there's no official build with fixed camera
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
I tried it. Nothing wrong with NFC here
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] frantisekz:
I've encountered NFC issue too. Will have to verify it, but it encountered after following steps:

Enable airplane mode (NFC was disabled)

Disable airplane mode (NFC has been enabled and i wasn't able to turn it off)

Phone began to overheat even if display was locked.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anoopvp:
I am happy to know that there are more ROMs for Xperia S. Also thank you very much for showing the link to learn how to complie a ROM. I will give it a try in near future. For my daily driver I use Camera a lot and also the HDMI... FM is not necessary. Can we get HDMI working on PA ROM? I hope camera will be fine from now on...!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xDroidZz:
HDMI wont get fixed in this rom. Go with Apology's rom for working FM and HDMI. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
Well, never say never. They already said s5830 wouldn't ever get kk

They said htc pico wouldn't ever been able to make new roms to fit in 230MB of system partition. They did.

So keep going and carry on.

The only thing we are lacking is manpower
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xDroidZz:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PunchUp:
Clean flash?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
No.

I know I should, but man, if this happened once, nothing stops the bug from happening again.

Besides, there's that strange libpn544_fw.so which seems missing
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] frantisekz:
I am using latest official build. Will test it this night (I turn the airplane mode on since I use vibration-only alarm) a post the results here.

And guys, there is a small chance that we'll have this nice feature in PA:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] luptatorul:
I don't believe that feature would be useful, considering the fact that the Xperia S's screen isn't big enough. My opinion is that it would be better to focus on solving all the bugs and releasing a bugless and stable version of the rom instead of adding more features... Personal opinion :D. I like this rom, unfortunately i went back to the stock version due to it's bugs. All the best!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xDroidZz:
But But..... this rom doesnt have major bugs anymore. i even use Kitkat ROMs going to school (Carbon/PA which im always switching between those two lol) and it works really great.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mirhl:
There are no major bugs.. May be..

Anyway that's not all. Deedwar had to downgrade caf to 2.5 to have what you can see today..

But we are still 0.2 releases behind the newer improvements. And we need them for the future.

I would even dream for no messy hacks involved in the venture (i.e. clean code) but that would be too much probably

In definitive: we are still damn far away from what you could consider

awesome
