[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] ic3cub3:
Hello Guys,

yesterday i decided to root my phone due to battery issues (lasts one day).

Rooted the phone,flashed 4,3 rom and i discovered that camera does not work:

"Camera Failed" message

Tried different 4.3 roms and other kernels nothing works,same error message.

Also enter diagnostics menu and same error there for camera testing.

Tried to format,remove,cleared cache for Gallery And Camera,same fault.

also installed 3rd parti cameramx ,same error.

Front camera works fine.

i'm out of ideas, can anyone assist?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] sham79:
when flashing custom ROM make sure you flash the stock kernel first, take a few photos and then flash a custom kernel like Agni. Should sort your problem.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] ic3cub3:
well since i am not stock anymore i think i have to go back to stock,and then change Rom?

Anyone has other suggestions?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Hbohd:
Just flash stock KERNEL for your 4.3, reboot and take a photo with it. Then flash custom kernel and it will work !
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
You can also try this ROM (TGP v14.03 based on Samsung Stock Android 4.3), it worked like a charm for me without doing things like "flash stock kernel, take photos, flash custom kernel, etc."
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] ic3cub3:
Done,

same fault.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
Weird, perhaps it depends on the GS3 model....Or maybe our pre-install procedure is different (system wipe, data and cache wipes, etc.)...

So, you just have to do what Hbohd said previously. Is it working for you ?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] ic3cub3:
Yes i will try.

Also i will try installing stock rom
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] ic3cub3:
installed stock rom,all works fine..

Now.

How should i proceed so i can use customer rom with working camera?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
As Hbohd said :

1- Install your favorite 4.3 custom ROM with STOCK KERNEL

2- Take a few photos with it.

3- Then flash ONLY CUSTOM KERNEL and camera will work with your custom ROM + Custom kernel
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] ic3cub3:
How can i do that?when i flash a customer rom flashes hi`s own kernel.

I have selected a Rom which had Stock Kernel with Aroma installer but same fault.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] woodman:
Did you already read this thread ?

Try to read it and test it. It will be clearer than my explanations.

After that, I'm not sure if I can help you more....

In my case, I already had the same problem as you but using TGP ROM v14.03 with default installation solved my camera issues (as I already wrote in this thread).

Htc phones have fastboot.

When you switch off your device, the phone does not actually shut down. It hibernates. It goes to a low power mode. The kernel is still active.

This is why htc boots quite fast, in less than 6secs.

And That is why alarm works even after it is switched off. In samsung, this is not possible as the phone is completely turned off.

As for youtube, i saw an app pvstar which played videos in background. Other than that i have no idea.

Hi everyone! This is my first thread,but not my first coming here. Just as the tittle say, I don't know weather the ion kernel is necessary for us to port sense 5 with jb on our 3D. I learnt and searched from the internet,but i have no idea about that at all. I really want my 3d with sense4+,sense5 and jeallybean even kitkat working. I really like the awesome sense ui and there are many apk doesn't support ics. Some of the game say that they only support jb+, and i like sense very much,i use YAS4v11 now.So may i ask these question:anyone please can tell me how can i do for ion kernel for our 3d.

i signed.But i don' t know if this sloved. we still need the kernel, the ion kernel? Why many sense 5 romers say that they have ion kernel? i don't know that.

Could you please help me find the answer :)
[HTC EVO 3D] mhnx:
I'm not a developer I just read things on the web, so I can't help. Actually we have a working ion kernel but hybrid (which means ION+PMEM memory allocating). The problem is on the camera drivers. That is the main issue for jb+.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleekmason:
24761 run once, on the V510 out of the box using the sleekai kernel. Nothing else is optimized on my device. I really don't know if the stock kernel would be any different. Maybe. They still ramp up to maximum cycles during the test. Stock default is Performance and CFQ, whereas sleekai default is On-demand and deadline. I do think the deadline is better at handling scheduler requests. I get a smoother scroll action I attribute to the deadline scheduler. Also a way better battery life.

I don't really think benchmarking is a good way of judging the performance of the device within a 5000 point range, but thats just my opinion, and may be wrong. If your cpu heats up too much during the test, your device will slow it down.

As I said in another thread , the secret sauce is this http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/general/4-4-4-4-x-qualcomm-optimized-dalvik-t2546120

I'm guessing the v510 doesn't need these libraries for its high score but we do.

It's all moot for me. I'm currently using ART, which scores in between the two when benching, but in reality I don't notice any difference between the three approaches in daily use.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] general_z:
Yeah, tried ART as well but didn't notice any sort of improvement. What i'm mostly after is solving the "thing" that makes UI animations a bit less then 60 FPS. It's more like its 30-60 FPS and one can definitely notice a drop here and there. My old Nexus 7 (2012) is more consistent in that regard and it's UI (stock, unrooted) actually responds faster to touch events which is a bit odd due to its old Tegra 3 processor and non-modded/rooted OS.

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

Ran a bunch of benchmarks. All in all it's way too inconclusive since the difference in average pretty much is in the margin for error (the highest average only differ around 1000 points from the lowest average).

I don't seem to be able to go beyond an average of 24.348 so it's odd to see some of you post scores that is almost 3000 points higher then that.

How did some of you get "good"? ART?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercvtio:
I would say your governor might be the cause : you are using OnDemand, have you tried swithching to Interactive ? In my experience, it would solve most of my stuttering launcher issues.

If you want better scores, you might wanna try Performance, but I wouldn't recommend it for everyday use.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoamigriffiths:
I wrote a long reply last night and lost it so today I will do it again but a bit at a time :P

Ok as already mentioned I also prefer to use interactive and if the kernel allows then it's always interactive /row.

If row is not allowed by the kernel then I use deadline.

I would like to suggest that it's probably not just one thing that needs to be done, but a number of small tweaks that accumulate to achieve a better bench score.

Now some of these tweaks are only for benching whilst others will give you a zippier feeling tablet.

This would be a typical setup for me to bench and I'll point out which I used day to day to speed up my old N7.

First flash the dalvik and Bionic files (obviously not tried on the tegra N7)

After booting up go to developer settings and uncheck the three animation settings, then scroll down and check force gpu rendering. (this mod is good for daily use for a bit more zip, I used this on my N7 2012.

Next go into whatever app you use to adjust cpu.

Adjust the min and the max cpu frequency to 1.728 ghz (you may get reboots with the minimum set at this, so just dial it back slightly or increase the voltage value for 1.728 ghz)*this is most definitely not for day to day use *

Next go to the gpu governer and change the setting from ondemand to performance (I believe this has quite an impact and I reckon that it's a good one to try for day to day use)

It's worth spending a bit of time having a play with sd read ahead value.

I set mine to 2048, more from habit than any testing on the gpad. It is definitely the way to go on my phone but ymmv. This can be used all the time if you see a worthwhile difference.

To a degree I too stop some apps before benching but in the past I noticed if not careful this can be detrimental to antutu.

I use clean master for this as you can go into settings and modify the ignore list.

I think that is just about all that I do. I will update this if I think of something I missed.

All the best rich
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] general_z:
Yes, with interactive i didn't notice better performance. In previous tests interactive actually always scored lower.

Sure - the performance governor can get better scores, but i'm not just after scores and ondemand or interactive should manage to score almost equal to performance when benching (within a 1000 point error of margin at least).
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleekmason:
[MENTION=4906350]whoamigriffiths[/MENTION] is right that it is a number of small tweaks on the system that make the difference. Here's my two cents.

The device comes stock with performance governer as the default. The switch to Ondemand should show no difference in benchmark tests as Ondemand will ramp up under pressure to the highest state possible. Ondemand for our device may provide slightly better battery life as it allows the cpu to operate at levels below the max where performance does not. It may also extend the life of the device, but that probably won't matter to anybody. Using interactive requires more than just switching in on as default. If the device manufactures didn't pre-tweak it for the device it might not perform well. mileage may vary.

As far as the stuttering goes, this is affected more by the scheduler, and by writes to the log/cache/etc taking up time/energy. In our device, Deadline is far better than any of the other schedulers and will smooth things out considerably. You can think of deadline as being just that. It tells the device how much it needs for any given application(s) and wants it now! no messing around! lol.

I would not set your cpu to the maximum frequency for your minimum value. Because of thermal throttling on our device, you will see a negative value for performance as well as battery life. Raising it say, from 384 to 594 might feel slightly snappier, but probably not. Devices that benefit from this are generally phones with a poor processer, with a minimmum default in the 128/256 range. For ours, you are just wasting battery.

The afore mentioned fix for Dalvik and Bionic may well work for the 500 device, but for those on the 510 as whoamigriffiths said in an earlier post, you shouldn't bother as it is already optimized for the device. I tried both and noticed a larger battery drain and poor benchmark results down in the 23000-24000 range. My device averages about 26500 using the sleekai3 kernel with no patches.

Changing the delay time in the developer section for screen functions is a good idea. I think they put it there just to make us feel better.
