At the link I think they have the same problem. I take the lib "camera.msm8960.so" but in the omni rom there is not such a file. It is called "camera.qcom.so". When you copy it, the camera doesn´t work any more. Also rename it doesn´t work.

Can someone help?

Well, if you tried to flash the stock rom and it still don't works, maybe you have to send it to maintenance, cause is a hardware problem.

This CNET article is on Snowden but near the end it it has this paragraph which seems to describe how people are now rooting their Note 3s. Please read and be cautious!

From http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57615600-38/strike-a-deal-with-snowden/:

Miller also speaks to NSA Information Assurance Director Debora Plunkett, who reveals the discovery by one of her 3,000 analysts of a secret computer weapon that could destroy any computer it infected. She would not name its origin, but "60 Minutes" has learned it was engineered in China. The NSA allowed Plunkett to talk about it for the first time in detail. She says it was called the Bios Plot, for the foundational component, the Bios, that all computers have that performs basic functions like turning on the operating system and activating the hardware. The attack on the Bios would have been disguised as a request for a software update. If the user clicked on it, the virus would turn their computer into "a brick," says Plunkett.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] !crazy:
Frank, Note 3 doesn't have a BIOS. Besides such things are around as long as Internet. Evil Chinese, yeah.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Frank Westlake:
I think they are using "BIOS" generically, on Android the boot loader may be the equivalent (which is locked on VZW). You are distracting the point. The point is that with some root methods you are giving complete access to some code which you are not being allowed to examine. When you do such things this "BIOS Plot" is the sort of thing you get. You can get the things described in the BIOS Plot with only root access, you don't need the boot loader.

They've been around much longer than the Internet.

Frank
[Galaxy Note 3 General] !crazy:
Bootloader has nothing to do with BIOS. What you are saying is that the application one installs has the power to be executed as a program, and do nasty things? Also root is sometimes little overrated. The truth is, most of data we actually care about are not on system partitions which require root access at all.

What you are telling is right in general, but my point is, that is nothing new.One installs software, which is a black box, and which can theoretically do anything. Everyone is aware of it. Everyone with a brain. The guy I know, who is not aware, never took his car to service in his life, and he is driving cars for 15 years now. He cares about tits, buts, and shiny colorful things, and is not going to read such news anyway : ). I am using him only as an example, to say, people who care already know, except a very few young fellows, and to the others, it really doesn't matter.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Frank Westlake:
No, I was referring to what is described in the paragraph I quoted from the article "She says it was called the Bios Plot, for the foundational component, the Bios, that all computers have that performs basic functions like turning on the operating system and activating the hardware." With that description she is using "BIOS" as a general term for something which does as she describes.

An application is a program; a program is an application. The term "program" has evolved to "application". Application data is stored where only the application and root can get to it.

No, it's very old. What does age have to do with my warning?

Not everyone. Most people think everything is safe until someone warns them otherwise. You seem to be suggesting that I shouldn't warn them.

Apparently you ARE trying to keep people from being warned.

Frank
[Galaxy Note 3 General] !crazy:
All computers do not have bios, and bootloader have nothing to do with BIOS.

That 'News' is more about mentioning nasty Chinese, who develop bad software which destroy 'our' computers, and spy on us.

There are much nastier things, like backdoors implemented in Mainboards, like those found on Dell Mainboards, or backdoors left in software of well known companies, which also pretends to takes care of our privacy etc.

Those who download cracked software, and closed source of unknown personalities, deserve what happens.

Your warning is so general that you could type something like 'people take care, there are viruses, and software bad guys/girls wrote, and these can be hidden in software you download.'.

Ok you warned us. Thanks.

And now I saw this.

"Application data is stored where only the application and root can get to it. "

You really don't know what you are talking about...

But never mind.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Frank Westlake:
Nearly every computer has a basic input and output layer, even if they don't formally package it as a Basic Input and Output System. Android has basic input and output; it is required to read and write to the storage media. But basic input and output is really irrelevant to the "BIOS Plot". It is not the a specific chip or a specific program that is being used and it is not necessarily related to input and output, it is the low level trusted layer that effects what is used by the operating system and it is the interface between the operating system and the hardware. That layer is what they are loosely referring to as a BIOS.

They're all the same -- trusted low-level layers.

That's saying that someone rooting a phone deserves what happens if it goes bad. Root de la Vega, Kingo, and Vroot use cracked software, and Kingo and Vroot are closed source of unknown personalities. You are saying that people who use them deserve all the bad things. Root de la Vega is a known and trusted procedure by a known and trusted person. Kingo and Vroot are unknown procedures by unknown people, so you are saying that anyone who uses Kingo or Vroot deserves a virus, or whatever, and you are suggesting that I shouldn't warn then not to use such things.

Application data stored in the directory given it is as I stated. You are probably thinking of "shared storage", which is open to everyone. An application's private directory can only be accessed by the application and by root.

Frank
[Galaxy Note 3 General] !crazy:
I haven't referred to shared storage, but basic ability of applications to access our personal files, documents, our work, etc. Usually these are important to us, and not system files. So no need for special privileges. Though on phones there is an additional issue, because privileged app can make calls and send messages.

Regarding basic IO etc, what are you talking about? The point is malicious software is an application, and can be installed like every other software. All talk about bios is unnecessary. Some OSs do communicate directly with hardware, and do not use BIOS concept at all. But that really doesn't matter in this context.

You can warn people it's a nice thing to do, but this is too general to me, like I said. Everyone needs to take care about sources they use, and should be aware that nothing is 100% secure. That's it. No need to reference a story about how bad Chinese are using 'BIOS plot' to attack good, innocent American users.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Frank Westlake:
You keep saying that Android does not use a BIOS so I keep responding to that.

That might be your point but it is not true. Malicious software can be installed at any layer of the system, but at the lower layers it is harder to detect and remove. Talk about BIOS is not unnecessary because it is analogous of the lower layers where it is more harmful. An application which roots a device has the ability to install malicious software at any layer of the system, provided it hasn't been locked out of those layers. We think that the boot loader on Verizon's Galaxy Note 3 is locked yet we keep trying to find a way into it, and someone may have already done that without us knowing about it. But the next level is just as dangerous. SafeStrap installs itself at that level and does so with root level access. Wanam Xposed works at the next level up which is also just as dangerous; it modifies the Android framework. Those applications are not dangerous but the level they work at is, and any application which roots a device is able to install malicious software at those levels.

Applications which root devices should be examined publicly and approved by people capable of understanding the code. Some root enabling applications are closed-source so the public cannot examine the code to determine if those applications are safe to use. Why are those applications closed-source? To keep the code hidden from the public is irresponsible. What benefit do they have in keeping it hidden? Do they charge for the use of their applications? Their greatest benefit would be that they can at any time modify the code to be malicious.

Then the OS is also the BIOS.

A real life example is helpful.

MAGNETIC / ACCELERATION / ORIENTATION SENSORS CALIBRATION

Finally on CM10.1 build all sensors are working, but the changes done on magnetic/acceleration/orientation require a new double calibration.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE:

1) Standard horizontal calibration through the CM advanced menu, by placing the phone over a flat and horizontal surface and pressing Calibrate touch button

2) Magnetic field calibration by following an 8 shape to be done as shown in this video: HOW TO CALIBRATE ELECTRONIC COMPASS

The calibration movement is a combined one over all axes, and will result in a residual magnetism removal (reset).

This calibration seems like a stupid game, but really this is the right way to recalibrate with a slow movement following the video shape; it is not important the direction to be used, just do once or more times until you get the calibration.

To know if the calibration has been done, you must know where is approximately the North and look with an app if the needle is pointing there; if yes, try rotating the phone of 90, 180, 270 and finally back to 360 degrees and look if the needle is pointing everytime to North during the rotation... If this easy test give positive results, your phone is calibrated!

Note1: After this procedure, the orientation and magnetic field sensors will give the correct values with all apps.

Note2: Our phone is known to have a native shift of some degrees respect to the North, but this is a hardware limitation due probably to the orientation of the chip welded on the board...

Note3: This procedure can be used also after a new flash of a compatible custom kernel in case of orientation not correct...

Enjoy!!

Hi, i've got a modded Galaxy S3 with last CWM and last cyanogenmod night build at the moment. I've a recurring problem with the phone freezing when using certain apps or downloading something or receiving some notifications. This problems seems not related to the version of CM because started with the original android and kept up for a lot of time and different nightly/stable versions of CM. It could be an hardware problem but i'm not convinced since it's too random.

What i would like to do now it's to wipe everything i can and format everything i can and then reinstall everything piece by piece (CWM, CM, gapps) trying fix this.

How can i do that?

Hi, i searched before posting both on Google and on XDA and i'm very well aware that the question as been asked... well "multiple times" is a bit of an euphemism. The problem is that i could not find a unique answer!

For example regarding what you wrote, in my CWM 6.0.4.4. i've got no option for formatting partitions, just "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition". Also the term "wipe" is quite ambiguous. The problem could very well be in some filesystem error, so i want at least to format every partition i could without bricking the phone and maybe zero every bit i can.

Since there’s a fair amount of posts that note this, particularly with this charger, I figured I’d start a poll. If you have a TYLT Vu, have you run into the overheating issue/does your Nexus get uncomfortably hot while charging?

How to you define overheating? I have two TYLT and the N5 tends to get warmer by a few °C compared to other Qi chargers. However, it depends very much on the actual battery status (SOC, temperature) prior to starting a charge.
