Hi, I recently upgraded to Indie Rom's OMEGA v19 rom. Everything was running fine until I tried to play music on my phone using poweramp. It would not play, so I thought that there was something wring with my music files but that was not the case. I also tried using twitch to watch some streams, and youtube to watch some random videos, but nothing would play. I would only get a black screen.
I did some research and it told me that it was Xposed, but I updated it but it still doesn't work. Is there anything else that i can do ? thanks in advance
UPDATE 1: I have tried reinstalling the rom with a full wipe without XPOSED and I still cant play any media on youtube, or poweramp.
UPDATE 2: installed another rom and kernel and I still cannot play any media. The Alarm also doesnt work. It does not play any sound.
Does the bootloader/modem have anything to do with this problem?
I have tried reinstalling the rom with a full wipe without XPOSED and I still cant play any media on youtube, or poweramp. :crying:

It looks like you're posting in the wrong forum. This is the forum for the S4 ACTIVE (i9295) which is a very different phone than the regular S4 (i9205). Try posting in the appropriate forum or even the thread for the ROM you are using and you should get a response.
Sir, this is not the S4 active branch as it clearly states on top of my screen that im in;
Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506 > Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Cannot play ANY media files after updating 4.3
But have you tried removing Xposed? To see if that fixed your problem?

I initially posted this in the wrong section (S4 Active) and it was just recently moved to this subforum, which is the correct one.
I have tried reinstalling the ROM without Xposed and no, it did not fix my problem.

What do you mean by installing another kernel? will it work if I install another ROM?
EDIT: I just tried installing another rom (the google rom found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474) and I still cannot play any media files (music on poweramp, streams on twitch, videos on youtube)
Also, I dont know if this is relevant to the problem, but I installed:
Bootloader -> BL_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5
Modems -> CP_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5
before in an attempt to install OMEGA's 4.4.2 rom but it didn't work, so I had to flash a 4.3 rom first.
Well then, my bad
That ROM uses the same kernel, try the alucard kernel.

Any progress here? I'm facing the same issue.
It's pretty strange, i guess im not a noob at flashing Roms and stuff. A few days ago i flashed Echo v 12 (TW, 4.3 Base). It was working like a charm (clean flashed, with Philz CWM). But since yesterday, i'm not able to play any videos (Youtube, Stock Video Player - Samsung, Stock Video Player - Google). I can download MX Player, which will work fine for me - but it wont fix the issue (Youtube still not working).
All the files i tried to play on the Stock Video Players, are Files that have been running without an Issue two days ago (same Rom, same Kernel).
What i allready tried:
- clearing cache and data of: Video Player (Samsung and Google), Media Storage, Gallery, Youtube (also uninstall Update), Browser (Samsung), Browser (Chrome).
- delete Google-Account
- turn off the device, remove Battery for 30 Seconds
- Boot into Recovery, Wipe Cache and Dalvik > Reboot
Still not working.
-Restore an older Nandroid > clear Cache and Dalvik > reboot > not working
Full Wipe (Factory Reset) > cleared Data and Cache of the above mentioned Apps > still not working
Full Wipe > Wipe to clean flash a new Rom > reflash Echoe v 12. > still not working.
I have no more Ideas what's wrong with my Device, next Step would be flashing Stock-Rom > reflash Echoe.
About the Error: When I'm trying to play any Video on Youtube, Stock Google Video Player, Stock Samsung Video Player i get the Message "Sorry cant play that Video". File-Type is Device-default for most Videos (i recorded them with my S4...).
Also, when i try to record a Video now on the default Samsung Camera app it says something like "Record failed" and stops, Pictures work just fine.
Please Guys help,
i have no more Ideas left and i allready tried that much.
---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------
Cant find the Edit-Button
Anyway, i fixed it. Here's what i did:
Odin-Flash Stock Rom (XXUBFM8) in my case, that means - flash Bootloader, CSC, PDA, Modem, ...
Boot > Video working
Odin-Flash latest Philz Touch
Install Echoe v12 (in Aroma, dont choose Youtube (it wont be installed as System App this way)
Boot
Odin Flash latest Modem, or Modem of best choice
Boot > Video still working.
I hope i solved it forever, that was a really annoying Error

Looking for some help. My P-1000N has stopped playing MP3's, MP4's and has lost all playback capabilities in the Youtube App. I can still watch Flash videos in browser (Youtube, etc).
The GT is rooted via Z4, no other firmware modifications. Just did a factory format via Samsung code and the problem persists, any ideas would be appreciated.

Do a factory-reset and the folder will be back.
Go to the recovery. volume-up+powerbutton. In the recovery clear cache and clear data/factory-reset. The tab will restart and you have a fresh phone/tablet

I was reading around and found this reply on another thread.
I did a factory Format/Reset and noticed that the problem was not fixed, looked around with Root Explorer to check if the GPS fix I had done back in January was still there and alas there it was, even with the date unchanged, so does that mean that the "factory reset" only changes your /data and not your /system?
Would the only fix be flashing a new firmware through ODIN or Heimdall?
Again thank you for any insight on this matter.
Yes the only way to fix this is to flash a new rom with odin. The factory reset did not erase the gps fix because it is now count as the original rom. Factory reset only erase the settings and installed applications.
P.S : Be careful. Do not flash a rom with encrypted bootloader, in case you want to downgrade etc...
Thanks for your reply.
So I found this .pit file that it's supposed to work with my tab.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918722
But I can't find anywhere:
PDA: P1000NUBJJ5
PHONE: P1000NUBJJ3
CSC P1000NUNAJJ4
Ok so the question basically is can I flash the .pit file in the download through Odin and recover my system?
Just for the heck of it I tried taking a video with the camera and it didn't work, app didn't crash but it was not recording, it's as if I deleted media codecs or something similar.
Well, hope you can help guys/gals
Hi all,
Been having some fairly major issues with this tablet recently. Sorry for the back story, but I'm unsure whether it's related or not...
I primarily use the tablet to watch videos on while I'm commuting from an external USB stick. Always used to be 100% fine, running AOKP ROM for around a year. In the last month or so, I would watch a video and it would work for a couple of minutes, then the video would freeze and the audio soon after. To fix it I'd have to close MX Player, and unplug/plug back in the USB stick. Then it would happen again.
I therefore copied files onto the internal storage, and didn't have problems with this (a 4GB video file would copy with no issues). Then watch from internal storage with no issues.
I decided to try a different ROM and see if it helped the USB OTG issues. This is where the real problems started. I changed to a different Android 4.4 ROM (Purity I think?), and had Google Play Store crashing soon after starting, if I tried to download an app. After the initial crash, I would continually get 'Google Play Store has stopped working' messages. Rebooting etc made no difference. I would also get the same issue if I tried downloading an APK through the built in browser (it crashes).
I have since tried about 5 different ROMs (Android 4.2, 4.4 and 5.0 based) flashed through TWRP 2.8.4.0, with different Gapps, each time performing full or partial wipes/factor resets.
I have also tried restoring to stock settings through NTK, flashing factory images of 4.2, 4.4 and 5.0 builds through the 'restore stock and unroot' option (whatever it is called). I have also re-locked and unlocked the bootloader again.
Basically, I don't know what else I can do. Every time I get into a new ROM, I complete the initial setup, I can't go into Google Play store without the app force closing. I can't think of what would be causing this if it's the same between a lot of different ROMs, with the same issue.
Does anyone have any ideas..?
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you're using correct gapps versions? They're specific gapps packages for 4.2, 4.4 AND 5.0.
If you're sure of the above, then yes, I suggest you capture `adb logcat` output when Play Store is crashing. Then share the log with us.
Basically some of the components of play store are located in the system partition and most of custom roms don't come with gapps packages you need therefore to flash them after installing a new rom. PA provides very nice and up to date solution. PA gapps on Google.
Sent from my Xiaomi MI2s
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I had flashed correct Gapps packages for each ROM when required, but was still having the issue.
Somehow, after many hours spread over the last week, last night I seem to have fixed it.
I had suspected that it was an issue with a corrupt partition, (or permissions, or something!) on the internal storage, as it was only when I tried to download something that the browser crashed, and Play Store would generally only start crashing after a first time browsing with it. Also sometimes from within Recovery I wouldn't be able to wipe data properly (it would complete almost instantly, sometimes not removing a previous ROM...). Sometimes it did seem to work properly though.
I can't pin down exactly what I did that fixed it though. I tried 2 things at once: I manually wiped each of /system, /cache, etc through fastboot in the bootloader, and I also (from adb in recovery) manually did mkdir /data and mkdir /data/media
I'm not sure which of these worked, but I flashed a ROM and Gapps (AOKP again), and I haven't had any crashing so far...
I'm afraid to flash any other ROMs as it seems to be working now, so I think I'll leave it!
Probably should have looked at the adb logcat output, but didn't think of that while I was still having the issue.
Thanks
Hello. i am using Official Lollipop from Poland. And i do have a problem regarding Music Lockscreen. The album art is gone stretched. I dont know why but it bothers me a lot. The only solution i found is to restore it to factory settings. Can you help me guys? It wasnt like this before. I think one of my apps we're triggering this. Perhaps the SD Maid?
Try clean cache from the settings search for on every apps that could be relative with the music app so if this doesnt work reboot in recovery and wipe cache partition if this doesnt work try an other programm from play store and if you have the same problem reflash stock rom using odin !!!

I have a Galaxy s4 Kitkat4.4.2 rooted with dr.phone removed all the bloat ware with TitaniumBackup Pro.I tried to flash to 6.0.0 using odin3_v3.12.5 which failed, see screensots for the errors. I tried other andriod versions including the factory one for this phone all from: androidmtk.com/download-samsung-stock-rom. I have not been able to flash any roms with odin not even custom roms. Any help on this is appreciated! After that I had a problem with samsung keyboad and had to do a factory reset to correct this. Afer which all the bloat ware I removed was no longer there after the factory reset. How did this change of unistalling apps go to the recovery rom? I want to be able to integrate all my additional apps into the rom. Used Titanium pro to convert a few programs from user to system aps such as esFile exsplorer and airdriod, also to integrate updates into the rom. I still need to learn some things about TitaniumBackup and how I use it to make a recovery rom built into the device.Also looking for a video player free of ads that allows you to make playlists, and continuously play videos, and be ableto run in the bkrd w/o stopping play while doing tasks such as texting. These are the issues that need the most attention for now.
There is no Android 6.0 for the s4 and you cannot flash custom ROMs with Odin.

i actually have a s3 mini with the same kitkat os that is on the s4 and have been using that for trial and error stuff. after i posted that i did a factory reset and learned that with titanium bkup i made a few up system apps and made an update.zip which has the removed bloatware and the couple apps i made system apps. airdriod did not retain its log in info which is something i want so if someone stole my phone and did a factory reset i would still have access to it and be able to locate it. i had vlc and 321 player installed but both of these do not continuously play videos. i did find xplayer though that plays continuously, runs in bkrd, just as i was searching for.

hello, i have a new problem found few days ago and been trying to fix it but to no avail.
here is how it started.
i tried to install an app called fsecure vpn network from google play. then the phone when into a bootloop. then i did a clean wipe (reset, wipe cache and dalvik from recovery) but somehow my files were not gone. that is some kinda miracle i have no idea how it happened.
since then my phone have issue whenever i installed mihome:
-. google play services, trebuchet, package installer, and some other has stopped.
-. cannot open apps list in settings when mihome is present. the settings just stopped and crashed.
-. if i try to open the mihome, the phone goes reboot.
-. even uninstalling mihome from application list is not working, the package installer stopped. have to uninstall from google play.
-. i tried to make a bluetooth printer app, but when i put the app-debug.apk into my phone. file manager would crash whenever it tried to read the file. even by just scrolling down. example: file manager work fine if the file is not copied inside (meaning we can scroll around and not crash). but once the file is copied in then the file manager will work if we dont scroll down to find the file, but when we scrolled down to find the file then the app crash.
things i've tried:
-. clean wipe then reflashing rom and gapps.
-. manually update google play store, download google package installer and reinstall it.
-. tried to download google play services apk but was unable to install it.
-. tried the idea of clearing cache of google play service but still no luck (force stop was disabled anyway so i cant try that)
i have no idea how this all happen just because i tried to install that fsecure app. its not even fully installed yet. it was just starting to install after download then this hell happened.
im desperate for some help as i've tried for 3 days in fixing it but to no luck. any helps would be very appreciated.
thanks and regards,

Hello,
Did you try to reinstall Stock ROM ?
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-grand2/SM-G7102/
It happened to me that sometimes, apps or rom just run into a bug and maybe it corrupt the firmware but after a Stock ROM flash (via Odin) + custom recovery (via Odin) to wipe Cache + Data, everything was fix.
Hai, could u possible post me a tutorial on how to do those thing via odin? Coz i usually only do it via cwm. Thanks

Did you try to flash a recovery only ?
Maybe your firmware/system is not corrupted and then you could just reflash a clean rom ?
In Odin, Select AP and load your recovery.tar
I am having the very same issue. The difference is that it's happening with Spotify, Xposed and Relay for Reddit. So yeah it's been much worse for me. I will try to flash stock rom + reinstall another recovery and see if it fixes. By the way, I got a couple of questions:
1 - Does the country that I select when downloading the stock ROM matters?
2 - Which Recovery can you guys recommend? There's a bunch here but not sure if all them are worthy
Okay so I flashed an Indian stock ROM (I'm not indian nor live in the country), then I wiped all data, so I could boot. This is the default procedure to revert back to a Stock ROM.
After that, I noticed the Wifi wasn't working, probably due to the Stock rom I've downloaded. Anyway, I installed a custom Recovery (even an updated version of what I used before, then I reinstalled Ressurection Remix, and tried again.
....It didn't work. Relay for Reddit crashes everything, Spotify puts my phone into a bootloot. Same with Xposed. I have no idea what to do anymore. Someone, please help. I really can't afford to buy another phone right now and I really need those apps. Expecially Spotify.

Okay, so I guess there won't be any need for that. I've redownloaded the stock ROM, but this time, I checked my phone Serial Number so I could download the right stock ROM for my phone. Now everything seems to be working again. Spotify and Relay installed without any issue. I will now try to reflash recovery and then another ROM and see if the problem persists.
For those who don't know how to check your Serial number, it's right above your android version, at the "About phone" section on Settings.
I still need advice on which Recovery I should use.
Anyway, thank you guys. I probably would't be able to solve this without your help.
UPDATE: I've installed TWRP 3.1.0.0, and also rooted the phone using it. Still on stock ROM. Everything seems to be still working without problems. I think I'll stick with it for now. Maybe later I'll try to lash a Custom ROM and see if it still works.

Hi,
I'm glad you fixed you're problem. Sticking on Stock ROM is the best thing you can do if you need your phone as every functionnality is checked and working.
I personnaly use TWRP as recovery, its good you got usb, root and everything you need to backup/restore your phone + reset your phone.
