What's not working with the camera? I currently don't have the phone as my wife is down south for a couple of weeks. But, I plan on releasing an update later this week with LTE fixed hopefully and maybe camera if something isn't working.

EDIT: Will merge the camera fixes in the kernel later today and have an update hopefully later.

EDIT 2: UPDATE! Check OP

error: cannot connect to camera

it's a known problem in lollipop but may fix according to others d2vzw rom.

many thanks to your work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Beeko:
Cool beans, well I added the changes and made a new build. Please test and report back as I don't have the phone right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackyalice:
unfortunately, camera has stopped.

I clean its cache, does not work.

and the third camera APP like opencamera does not work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackyalice:
I flashed this slim gapps: http://slimdevs.com/Gapps/Lollipop/Slim_mini_gapps.BETA.5.0.x.build.0.x-20150324.zip

now open camera can work with 2 pics.

then it stopped again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Beeko:
Why would you flash Slim Gapps, when I said to use the ones in OP. You shouldn't have any issues if you use PA gapps.

Edit: Sorry for being short earlier. But, just noticed that PA gapps is down and I'll try to find gapps that do work but try not to use Slim because they are based differently than Pac
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Beeko:
Can anyone confirm what works and what doesn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
Hello.

I have been on this ROM since the previous build to the current. I must say ~ Great Job!! :highfive:

You are on the right track. I am using the PA Gapps with this ROM (Dated 03.15.15). Which Kernel is used with this ROM and any other Kernel/s you can recommend?

P.S. ~ Feel free to ask me any question.

P.S.S. ~ Tested the 'Open Camera' App and an error message displayed ~ "FAILED TO OPEN CAMERA. CAMERA MAY BE IN USE BY ANOTHER APPLICATION?"

Tested the Camera that's included with the ROM and an error message displayed ~ "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped."

Restarted/Rebooted the mobile device and tried using both cameras again. See below for results.

Open Camera ~ Same results!! :(

Camera included with Rom ~ Same results!! :(

Thank you,

~ Ghost Protocol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
When this happened on other ROMs a reboot would usually fix it. Usually. There's a camera restart app that you can get from the play store that may or may not help until a fix comes along. You might look into the thread by mastamoon for more details.

If the fix is in the kernel as mentioned I've been using dkp with another lollipop build and open camera works great. Just a suggestion.

Great to see PAC doing their thing here with lollipop too. Many thanks to the PAC devs!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Beeko:
[MENTION=4716707]Ghost Protocol[/MENTION] Thank you for the feedback on what works and what doesn't I'll try and make a new build hopefully on sunday.

[MENTION=3716951]griz.droidx[/MENTION] I'll look into dkp and see what they've done to their kernel, thank you.

Update To Previous Post

Hello Again.

This is an update to my last post. I flashed the "dkp-aosp50-20150315" kernel and "Open Camera" worked fine. I closed it, after taking a picture, and reopened the app again. No error messages or force close messages. :good:

Just letting you and everyone know. :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Beeko:
Sweet, does LTE work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
How would I be able to tell or know, on this Rom, if LTE works? I know I am able to make and receive phone calls.

In reference to the video option using "Open Camera". When switching to the 'Video' option the phone freezes and when going back into the App to load it again... Does not work any more. Until I reboot the mobile device and wait, at least, five to ten seconds before trying to load "Open Camera" again. Then the camera works, but not video.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Beeko:
Well, does it say LTE at the top or 3g? Also, you're using verizon, correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghost Protocol:
I must be missing something in the settings or since I am not seeing 3G or LTE, I may not have any of the two or both? :confused:

P.S. ~ Did you read the additional message added to my last post?

P.S.S. ~ I am on Verizon Wireless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bitemeoftn:
I'll do my best to clear a few things up for anyone thinking about flashing this ROM. I just did a clean flash of the ROM with official GApps (I'll try to edit this post later with a link to them) wiping data, cache, dalvik cache, and system. Once it booted up which took a while since it's an LP ROM I got the setup screen. I tried instantly clicking next and got an error that I didn't have a SIM in the phone so i backed up to the first step again until I saw the signal bar at the top then I clicked next. It went through an "activation" for service and I had LTE!!! I went through the rest of the setup without issue. Once it was done I went into the settings and saw Developer Options had already been enabled. Now I didn't flash the SuperSU zip like it said in the OP for this reason. Once I was in Developer Options I saw that root access had been turned off so I turned it on for Apps and ADB and haven't had a problem. The stock camera is still a no go, but I don't do many pictures so not a huge issue. CM12/12.1 is the only LP ROM I've found that the camera works on. I'll give Open Camera a shot here in a bit and report back on what I find out, but I thought this may help quite a few people out that aren't sure about the ROM.

EDIT: After trying Open Camera I still get a cannot connect to camera error. Also tried stock and Camera 51 with the same results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
I have had 2 reboots.. both seemed like the phone was starting to bog down.. then just rebooted.. I know this last time I had just clicked on the Facebook App.. i'm not sure if that was the same situation as the first one.

Anyone else experience reboots?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Beeko:
Sorry I haven't built anything for this phone in a while. But I built one today and if you wanna test it that'd be awesome. Check the OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
has the video record issue been fixed? thays what made me leave PACrom the last time.

thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Beeko:
I haven't tested it yet since I don't have the phone right now, my wife should be home soon and I can report back then since it's her phone.

REF: What is the difference between this ROM & the other Pac-Rom?

Good Evening,

What is the difference between this Pac-Rom and the other Pac-Rom, for the Verizon Wireless S3 mobile device? Also, I did notice ~ "REQUIRES: NE1 baseband, UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, and the latest TWRP." Would I need to flash the NE1 baseband prior to flashing this Rom? The baseband is the firmware, right? :confused:

[Android Stick & Console Computers General] cmwyke:
I've searched and searched and followed all kinds of guides and I'm just getting nowhere it seems. I've bought this specific android stick. I'm attempting to just gain root access. I don't need to flash a new rom or anything, I just want root access.

Here's what I've done and the results I've gotten:

Followed directions on this thread

I plug the usb into the OTG micro usb port while holding the Fn switch.

I can get device manager to recognize a device, install driver. It shows as Rockusb Device in device manager.

Running the included file TPSparkyRoot.bat, get device not connected error.

That's as far as I can get. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightmoist:
Hi there, xdadevelopers, this is my first post here and I need some help if possible.

Here's my case:

I've been using Chromecast at home since Google release, always using my unlocked LG G2 to control it and without any issue...

But one month ago I began to suffer constant disconnections between my cellphone and both of my two Chromecasts. I can connect correctly with them, and I can use any compatible app to cast videos, movies or whatelse I want, but after ten or twenty seconds more or less my LG G2 "silently" losses Chromecast connection: I mean, there are no errors shown or no video/movie issues because it continues running, and if I want to stop or pause it I must re-connect my phone with Chromecast again.

As I said, I use two Chromcasts at home and this issue happens with both of them. I have also tried to use my wife's phone to control the devices (and it's not a LG G2) and I didn't notice disconnections, so it seems to be my LG G2 the main problem.

By the way, the android version installed is 4.4.2 (the last available here until Lollipop comes out), and i'm using LG's stock rom.

Is there anyone here with my same problem?

Thanks a lot!

ok I bought a good razr m off ebay

i did the following

root,

boot loader unlock

cm12

I think I like it better than my droid mini (which I can't root)

screen is great, no scratches at all. but after the battery hits 25% it drops like a stone

and ti "recharges form 0 to 25% in minutes.

so I think part of the battery is hosed up

i am sure I can replace the battery.

is there a good cheap solution
[Droid RAZR M General] rmlineback:
I was able to find an OEM battery on eBay for about 16 dollars with free shipping. It took me all of 20 minutes to swap it out. There are good tutorial videos on YouTube.
[Droid RAZR M General] dcooterfrog:
i have also see that. by oem do you mean mad by the original manufacturer , or oe as in a new Motorola battery.

I am fine either way but i have seen reports on amazon of non new moto batteries. i would rather have a decent non moto battery than a used moto battery.

thats why I ask.

I am not worried about replacing it.

It is the original Motorola battery.

When you buy a new phone for your child. You want it must be a cool phone, but you also don't want your child uses WiFi function.

I have seen many people wondering here and there to Disable the WiFi permanently in their device. So i thought to make a thread regarding this.

I have seen many posts asking to remove or rename the WiFi Modules to Disable the WiFi but when i tried that unfortunately it failed to delete the Module.

So i moved on for another step and found easy steps to Disable WiFi permanently :)

Tested & worked in HTC M8 (4.4.2) & Nexus 5 (5.1)

This is a simple trick played in Build.prop which can disable the WiFi of your device for ever.

All you need is :

Rooted Device

ES File Explorer

RB Text Editor

First of all i recommend you to make a system backup with TWRP

here we go :

1. Open ES File Explorer and get Root access

2. Go to system folder and open Build.prop using RB Text Editor (i recommend you to backup original file)

3. Remove the below mentioned lines in Build.prop

[COLOR="red"]wifi.interface=
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=[/COLOR]

4. save it and reboot!!

You can notice that WiFi buttons are no longer in use :D

Warning!

Im not responsible for any damage caused. Always Make Backup

Is there any Way to Disable Mobile Network Internet also ? Like 2G Edge , 3G ,4G etc.,

There is manual option to Disable Data Usage.

Is there any permanent Solution ?
[Android General] milkandbananas:
Yes you can disable data permanently....

From my experience you have three options: 1. go into settings and disable your data that way, 2. download an app that allows for easy data on/off switching or 3. which I'm going to do myself when I buy a new (used ebay) phone in the next couple weeks for someone: contact my prepaid carrier and ask them to "disable the data". They can do this at the carrier-level. This will prevent a child for example from re-enabling the data just by clicking a button on their phone. I just verified with my carrier today that they can in fact do this. Good luck!

[Android General] RaoulV:
This did not work for my phone, as those program lines are not present in my build.prop folder, but I found a solution for my Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo (6.0.1) that I know many others are looking for, it will probably work for all the galaxy models or at least some of them. Here it is:

1. Root your phone using "oneclickroot.com", they will do everything for you, including installing TWRP and SuperSU. Be sure to pay attention to how to access TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project)... for me it was by holding down the volume up, home, and power keys simultaneously and then releasing the power key on seeing red letters. It might vary phone to phone.

2. Make a system backup with TWRP after rooting by accessing TWRP and simply clicking "backup" and then swipe. In the event that you need to restore just access TWRP and click and swipe "restore".

3. Use a file managing app like "Root Browser" by JRummy from google play to go into these file folders: "system/etc/wifi"

4. In the Wifi folder delete the first four files:

bcmdhd_apsta.bin

bcmdhd_ibss.bin

bcmd_mfg.bin

bcmd_sta.bin

4. Now reboot your phone by simply turning it off and back on again.

5. All done, your phone's wifi will no longer work.

6. If for whatever reason you don't want to be able to get it back ever again, just go delete your system backup in TWRP and you won't be able to get it back.

If you don't see these files in your phone after rooting, don't be discouraged. I figured it out with a little experimentation and I knew absolutely nothing about programming or androids... I still don't. Just make a system backup with TWRP and experiment by deleting different files that have "Wifi" in their name. Only delete one at a time or a small group of files at a time, and restart the phone every time as programming changes will not take effect until you do. Every time you brick (disable) the phone, just use TWRP to restore your OS (Operating System) using your TWRP backup. It only takes about 2 minutes to restore every time. I bricked my phone about 4 times in the process of figuring this out. Very simple and easy.

Also, your carrier will usually be willing to apply a "data block" to your account if you call them. For $2/month Koodo will apply a data block that makes it impossible to access data.

If I did this to disable wi-fi on my child's phone, could they simply undo it by doing a factory reset of the phone?
[Android General] oldguy51:
Disable Wifi on Moto G6 / Pie

I recently had to do the same thing with my child's phone. She was just too good at circumventing the usual child protections and getting on the internet to surf adult material and chat with random stalkers halfway around the planet.

She has a Moto G6 with Android 9.0 PIE.

1. Rooted it

2. Loaded a file manager and after much trial and error found that wifi could be disabled with name changes on:

/vendor/lib/modules/wlan.ko -> wlan.bak

/vendor/lib/modules/pronto_wlan.ko -> pronto_wlan.back

Then, reboot the phone.

The user can attempt to start wifi, but it fails. No boot issues.

Yes, they could. That's why I also used Google Family Link to set up a minor child account for her and made it the main account for the phone after I changed the file names above, but before rebooting. GLF prevents a factor reset from within the phone or changing the user. She could try to boot into recovery and perform a factory flash, but then it's going to want the same google account as before....and she doesn't have the password. Fastboot is locked as well. The only issue you might have is that google somehow thinks all 14 yr-olds should be independent enough to remove supervision, but I guess you could do the same thing that the kids do to get around age limits - change the birth date.

I also shut off data at the wireless provider.

Now, she's got a smart phone that calls and texts, but can't get on the internet or play store. Also, without the internet, no updates that will wipe out these changes.

[Android General] oldguy51:
How to find Driver Files to disable the Wifi

There were a couple of bumps on this thread regarding driver files for wifi and how people weren't able to find these files on their phone.

The answer is that if you don't see the driver files mentioned in the thread above, it's because they're called something else, if they exist at all.

For the Moto 6, I spent a fair amount time doing trial and error renaming of system files until something worked. It took me some time and research to determine that for PIE, the .ko files represented some sort of driver files. Then, I went searching for .ko files with wifi in them, and then finally, I located the two files mentioned in the thread above. For your phone, they may be in a completely different directory, or named something different.

I knew that I had figured it out when I booted the phone, and was unable to get the wifi to work or even detect any signal.

Maybe there's a parameter file on your phone that controls the wifi settings, or maybe you rename driver files like I did.

I've done this a couple of times now on my kid's phones, and for each phone, the driver files were different. The last phone I did, I went ahead and posted to this forum so maybe someone else can get some benefit.

Best of luck!
