[Q] CM11 - No keyboard / camera - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I hope this wasn't asked before, but I couldn't find anything.
I am currently using CM11 (latest build) with minimal gapps installed and face two problems:
A few months ago, when it was released in the play store, I decided to install the Google keyboard. This app somehow replaced the AOSP keyboard on my phone. I wasn't to impressed with it and decided to uninstall it, leaving me without any keyboard at all! This hasn't changed since, no matter how often I upgraded the CM11 and gapps build. It's no big deal for me, because I use another keyboard app, but I find this behavior rather strange.
I seem to have a similar problem with the camera app. When the Google camera app was released recently, I tried installing it - this time it didn't work, it told me that the app was already installed. After that I found out that I suddenly had no camera on my phone at all! How is this possible?
Can someone tell me where these apps have gone and how to recover them?
Thanks in advance.

[HELP] Camera not installed on KitKat!!!

Hello,
I'm having a major problem when loading the camera on the main user. It simply crashes...
Let me just explain better the problem and the background situation.
My wife has a N7 2013 that I offered her on her birthday. She is the main user. I also use her nexus so I'm the secondary user.
When I try to launch camera on her user, it simply crashes... Needless to say that I already clean app's data and so on...
When kitkat was released, I grab some of the the apk of several applications that were leaked, hangouts, keyboard, camera/gallery, etc... and upgrade those apps over my user account... I tried them all and all run fine on my user... as I knew that if I installed an app over my user account, that app instantanely is updated (if installed) on the main user account. So I never tested all those apps upgrades...
After that, Kitkat came to N7 and I sideloaded it. A few days ago it updated to the last version via OTA.
Yesterday I was testing something over my wife's user and by accidentally I found out the Camera just wont work!!! It crashes immediately when launched. Going to the Application Manager, on the all app tab, I discovered that the camera app was there but was marked as "Not Installed" down the bottom list.
I tried several things, cleared app settings, installed again from taking the apk from /system/app, nothing...
Also gallery was crashing but I think after I installed the apk from /system/app and worked again.
The other apps (that came with kitkat) work fine and are installed
Is there a way, without factory reset Nexus, to get back Camera on my wife user ?? Any adb command??

CM 11 - Problem Installing Application And Notification Lag

Hi. I'm using CM 11 on my Nexus 4 for three weeks now. It's great but I have a problem with an application called AutoMapa (it's Polish navigation system). This app worked well on original KitKat 4.4.2, but after changing the rom I couldn't install it. It showed me "android application cannot be installed" message. I thought it was AutoMapa's fault, but a few days ago, the developer released a new version 1.7.0 where all nexus 4 bugs are fixed, but the app still cannot be installed. When I installed CM 11 I've changed Dalvik to ART, but after a few hours I switched back and never changed again.
I've downloaded this app directly from the developer's site: http://w3.automapa.pl/?PEI=53169&lng=PL&cid=254269&file=261203
But if you are not familiar with the Polish language, here's that app on zippyshare: http://www28.zippyshare.com/v/73256817/file.html
It's 7 days trial, on developer's site you can download it for free, on google play that trial costs around 1€.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Also, I noticed a small lag with e-mail notifications. When Nexus's screen is turned off, it notifies me about a new e-mail after a few minutes. Is that fixable?

Did you managed to make this Automapa working on CM11. Yesterday I flashed the CM11 and GPS is working for other apps but not this. I also tried Navigon same result.
Thanks in advance

Stock Messaging App Crashes

I recently bought a Galaxy S4 I9505 to replace my S3 that is near destroyed.
So everything goes well until much recently when I updated it to the latest firmware i can get 4.4.2 I9505XXUGNJ5
The Messaging app crashes when I open the settings to edit some stuff.
It did not happen with the previous firmware and I dont know why.
I tried a couple solutions like clear data and cahce but no results.
Anyone please kindly help me by giving some solutions.
Better yet you guys can give me the apk file for the stock messaging app from the system dump that does not crash when opening the settings.
Thanks.
Or you can use a different messaging app.
I use hello at the moment. It's very simple and clean. Not much customization.
Or, another favorite of mine, YAATA. It's currently still in beta. But it works with no problems and has lots of customization. Also offers chatheads options (like facebook messenger)

Ok google issue?

Hi,
I have recently installed Kybui Rom running 5.1.1 lollipop on my note 4 N10F variant. Everything works great except google now. There isn't any options for ok google anywhere only ok google in app. Its not like they're greyed out either they're completely missing from the app completely. I've tried disabling S-voice, downgrading the google app but nothing gets it working at all.
I seem to be the only person having this issue which is even more frustrating though have read about it happening on S6 devices but can't seem to find a solution. Does anyone know how I can get this back? I know I can use nova launcher and there's open mic+ to do it but nova only works on homescreen and open mic is dodgy when veiwing videos last time I used that app so just want it working natively again.

Nubia Z17 Mini S problems and doubts

Hello everyone,
I just got a Z17 Mini S with GApps installed and after some days using it, i'm having some problems:
- Battery drain really fast
- Google Play worked during some days (not very good but it worked) but now it doesn't install apps anymore. They are always "pending installation".
- Some apps also depending on Google Services (Google Keep, My Maps) do not work well. Basically they don't synchronize my existing data.
I would like to ask here if anyone has been able to solve these problems and how. There are some comments in Z17 Mini threads but I don't know if they apply also to the Mini S.
About the ROMs, I would like to know if those for Mini run also in Mini S model, since I've seen some internacional ones (likes the European ones in the Germany website) released by Nubia but they are always for model NX569J which is standard Z17 Mini model, not the Z17 Mini S model which is NX589J.
I have:
Version: NX589_CNCommon_V210
Model: NX589J
Thank you very much for your help.
I have similar problems with mine (also purchased with GApps installed). For battery life, I massively extended it by switching off WiFi (but I have good coverage and lots of data on my plan, so might not be as good for you).
I also noticed that when I check the permissions for the play services app, it shows none.
I think the root cause is definitely gapps and the modifications made to get gapps installed as I can't even remove the google account to reset play services cache.
Very annoying as its otherwise a great phone... I can't find a great deal of info about rooting it and there aren't any stable ROMs that I can find for it. Though remember it was only released in Sept/Nov last year.
The z17 mini ones (nx569j) definitely won't work (properly) as the devices have different hardware.
Worth adding your voice to the mokee ROM device requests (they've got a lot of the other nubia phones supported so chances are good for this). If I could work out how I'd build a device tree for this, but my skills are not strong enough (happy for someone to explain to me though!!)
I have the same problem too. Hope to find a rom which solves this soon. If you know any workaround, please tell! Thank

I've just bought Z17 mini S too.
- My battery is quite well, it ok for normal use.
- About download on Google play, Sometimes I meet this & I solve it by restart my phone, turn on airplalne mode, clear google play app, cancel pending installation. After that, I try to download again & it works. You can try this.
I found 1 rom cook for nx589j in chinese web & post it. However, i'm being on business, so i cant try this soon
I see there is no resolution for this yet. I have Nubia Z17 Lite, which is very similar to Z17 Mini and problems with Gapps stuck on downloading get solved when I uninstall SwiftKey app - for some reason it is blocking Gapps. With SwiftKey, Play Store gets stuck on preparing to download files, account data are not synchronized etc. I had similar problem also with Google Contacts app. So uninstall those if you have them. Use Gboard instead of SwiftKey.
i have a Z11MINIS and have same question.
the battery is really useless so i replaced it and buy a new one(not the offical type)
my z11minis Google Service is not complete ,so i run a google pack img to make this work.
