I am not sure whether this thread is off topic or not. But this problem is really boring and I wish somebody can look into it and find a permanent solution.
My tab is international version, no matter I flash the DXKM2 stock firmware or Roto's JME-V4 with CF-Root, I always encounter the camera failed error. But it do works before I install any 3rd software.
So far I doubt it's due to some system application removal, because I have another Galaxy S with exactly same 3rd party software installed without this problem. I only deleted some unnecessary built-in apps in system folder. Here is the list I deleted apps:
IMEs (I use TouchPal for Chinese input)
Samsung widgets (I like very clear homepage)
Ebooks (I use ibook)
Live wallpapers (to reduce power consumption)
Email (I use K-9 mail)
Samsung Unified Inbox
SNS (Chinese can't use facebook)
It's very weired that I didn't install anything since last time to take picture. Seems like the pad idles certain time then the camera has problem itself.
Anybody encountered same problem like me and even found the root causes? Please help.
Update:
OK, I found the root cause by deleting files one by one. Found that the Email.apk and Email.odex can't be deleted. Once I copy back those two files from backup, and restart, the camera functions well now.

Ive never touched the email apk... I froze it once but defroze it. I dont think I messed with the email.odex
I rooted with super one click and flashed KhasMek Voodoo Plus v3 kernel. Anyone have any idea how to fix it? thanks!
how was this fixed?
im not sure but I cant tell how was it solved
In all the cases above, the camera start failing at some point after an install of 3rd party software.
and I believe in their case, the camera works on stock rom.
Is yours really broken on gb stock safe (in your other posts you mention so). Pure state after Odin.
Don't start restoring apps.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Every time I try to use the keyboard it force closes the running app.
For example I open gmail, I click on reply and it force closes. (because it automatically wants to pop up the keyboard) same goes for chatting in Trillian and every other app that uses the keyboard.
By default I use Swiftkey X Tablet, I turned that off and it still forced closed, I uninstalled every keyboard (except the default Samsung one) with no luck or whatsoever.
I tried googling but I couldn't find anything related, is there a quick fix or am I bound to flash a new ROM on it?
I am using stock ROM on the GT-P3110 with the android version 4.0.3.
Cheers.
Ditched stock for CM9, everything works again.
I still wonder where the problem was though.
The keyboard closing everything problem happened to me when the clipboard became corrupt. I have a post elsewhere on this board that describes how I fixed it. Search is down or I'd find it and link to it. The basic idea is to nuke the contents of /data/clipboard. You lose your "pinned" clipboard items but you can then get things to quit closing.
I am thinking about going to CM9 but wonder if you lose anything other than the dumb Sammy apps? For example, the IR blaster (which I don't really use anyway) or anything like that.
Update: Ok Google knows all: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655619
Brilliant, if it happens again I will use that. Still an annoying bug.
Also would you need root to nuke the contents of that directory?
I have the European version of the Tab 2 7" so I don't have an IR blaster, but I suppose you could just extract the .apk (it could be included in the ROM I have no idea.)
Everything feels a lot smoother on CM9 to be honest.
Thanks for your help!
I don't know, but I bet you need root. Then again, the clipboard must be writable so maybe not. I had thought I would not root this device right away but 5 minutes after I booted it, I realized I needed root for Titanium Backup and that was that.
I recall copying a 5k line javascript. Odd bug. Though I suppose going into Recovery mode and then wipe data would also do the trick if you indeed do need root access.
Hey Guys,
I need your help.
I flashed a lot of roms in the last time, and since 3 roms my media is not showing up in the stock apps. In Titanium Backup is at the bottom "media" but it is strikethrough
I tested nearly everything:
-Factory reset (same after that)
-Terminal Commands (nothing changed)
-Clear cache
Im now on Cloudy G2 3.3.
Can you help me guys?
Nobody?
Clean flash?
Yes i also peformed a CSE flash back to stock but nothing changed
What for media is? In mine is exactly the same and i don't care about it. System is working fine then why worry this?
The Problem is, that i cant use some apps who are handling with my media files (Photoshop etc.)
Same situation with media showing a strike-through in tibu. But all the apps are working just fine (photoshop, pixlr, poweramp etc.). Uninstall and then fresh install apps. I don't think it has anything to do with the strike through thing, it's something else that's not compatible with those apps. Did you freeze or uninstall any of the system apps?
No i didnt.
And Poweramp etc is going fine for now but Google play music, Google photos etc. not
I am not using those apps, sorry. Try using alternative apps I don't know what else to suggest. Workaround seems like a less of a hassle than trying to fix the thing. Plus, alternatives are way better than Google Apps imo. For example, QuickPic instead of Google photos, it has cloud support to Picasa, drive etc.
For those who are looking for a good emulator for their PC and genymotion/andy doesn't quite cut it for you, check out Amiduos from http://amiduos.com/ I am working on some tutorials on how to root/debloat/xposed the emulator, I have them posted up on my blog: http://talesfromtheandroid.blogspot.com/2015/09/amiduos.html I am almost finished with the 2.0 part, but it is not hard to manually root.
Happy rooting!
Amazing! Great job, and thanks a lot for this. I was using bluestacks, but ya, that's a piece of crap compared to this. Amiduos is a lot faster. Everything went well following the instructions on your blog for the 2.0 version. I only have one problem, and I know that it's because snapchat is the most piece of crap app ever created in the existence of mankind. Seriously, I have never seen a more problematic app across so many devices. Anyway, ya, it crashes on Amiduos 2.0 .. It seems like it does the exact same thing as what happens on my old-school Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi (GT-P7510). You can install it and open it to the login/signup screen just fine, but once you login and it attempts to go the main snapchat UI (where it shows the camera open), it crashes to home screen. I can understand it happening on the Tab 10.1 because it's such an old tablet with old architecture, and I've actually confirmed that it is just the Tab's capabilities itself because I've confirmed with a few other users with the exact same Tab that they have the same issue with snapchat, but you would think it would work fine with Amiduos. This doesn't happen on bluestacks, but my issues with bluestacks were a whole other deal. First off, it's slow compared to Amiduos, but aside from that, I was able to root and get Xposed installed on the latest version. Snapchat actually opens and runs fine on it, but when attempting to use snapprefs (xposed module), it basically doesn't work. It's strange because it was actually working on the first try on the 0.8.11.3116 version of Bluestacks, but snapchat had an issue where if I logged out and then tried logging back in, it gave me some BS login error, and I had to essentially just create a new account. I ended up screwing a few things up in my attempt to solve the issue by clearing data and cache on a number of apps including the xposed framework, and ya, I basically had to reinstall bluestacks, root, install xposed, etc. At that point it wasn't working anymore lol. Snapchat will just crash when attempting to share a photo into snapprefs (that's how you get a photo from gallery into the snapchat editing UI), or it would just show a black screen in the snapchat UI. I'm not sure if I want to try genymotion/andy for my snapchat/snapprefs needs. I might just have to use my old-school jailbroken iPhone 4 to run a tweak that basically does the same thing as snapprefs. The only reason I liked snapprefs better (when it was working on bluestacks) is because it didn't affect the quality of videos that I shared from gallery to send through snapchat. Phantom for snapchat (jailbroken iPhone tweak) seems to do that. Would you happen to know what the issue might be, and how to get snapchat working on Amiduos?
AmiDuos 2.0 Root Solved !

I ask because I'm always on the hunt for my perfect ROM and I have yet to find it.
My perfect ROM would contain only what was needed to boot the phone, connect to the network and connect to wifi, and it would contain a good phone app as well. Nothing else, the bare minimum.
I don't need an SMS app, I use PulseSMS and I like it a lot.
I don't need an email app, I use Nine Mail.
I don't need a music player or an equalizer, I don't listen to music on my phone.
I don't need a browser, I use Chrome.
Everything else I do need, Contacts, Calendar, Camera, Clock etc etc, can be installed from the Play Store.
Yes, I know all about the ways to uninstall apps. The problem is if the ROM I am using upgrades, all of the apps I uninstalled come back so I have to uninstall them again.
Yes, I know how to disable apps I don't want. Several reasons why that doesn't satisfy me.
First, some ROMs include apps that can't be disabled. So if the SMS app can't be disabled and I install Pulse, now I've got two SMS apps on my phone which is a waste of space.
Second, even if the unwanted apps can be disabled, they are still there. Still taking up space that can be used by things I do want.
Yes, I know I can build my own custom ROM. I've tried it and I don't understand the process well enough to debug the myriad of problems I always run into.
Yes, I have a bare minimum approach to things like this. But consider how small the download would be for a ROM like this.
So far, Slim ROM comes the closest to what I want, but even that includes some apps I'd prefer not be included. Also, I'm not sure how active Slim is these days. There hasn't been a lot of activity over the last few months.
So, that's my perfect ROM. Active and minimal.
How about you?
What type of platform/base are you looking for? In terms of bare mobility versus stock? I can take most ROMs strip them down to the point of being functional is easy. The hard part is keeping up with kernel and platform changes.
You might want to try Velocity Rom... it's almost as bare minimum as possible although you get a messaging app(you can't avoid that since all roms out here will definitely have a messaging app and it's fine). On top of this you get all the customizations. Though I'm not currently on it, but you will like it's bareness:silly:
Just Google for Velocity rom.
Cheers!

The base doesn't matter much, as long as it works. Maybe aosp, if such a thing is possible.
For the platform, the latest and greatest, of course.

Yes, I tried Velocity. It looks good but the SMS app can't be disabled. At least in the one I tried. At least with Slim it can be.
