[Q] Swiss cheese ee03 Camera

Has anybody with this rom flashed had any troubles with the camera fc'ing when trying to take a picture? For the longest time now whenever i try to take a picture it would fc and tell me the process com.sec.android.app.camera has stopped unexpectedly. Could someone with a working camera send me their apk from the /system/app folder to test if that would fix my issue?

go under the camera settings and under the wrench icon tab their is an option on page 2 i think to update camera firmware... select it... then select check firmware then select update... then run the samsung apps store app then it should say if their is an update to the camera. if shut down phone and turn back on and rerun the samsung app store...

i tried that already, downloaded the samsung app and re-ran it, says error service unavailable (error code 4002) when it searches for the firmwarer update edit: tried fixing permissions under cwm and would no-ciq play any role in not being able to get the update?

i would go into clock works mod and then reset the phone and do under advanced i think and clear delvik cache. I would also not use a program like Titanium Backup as you could be restoreing files that are causing the issue. The only restore i do is with my backup and text messages only. I then let the market place update all programs then after that is done I then install from the market my programs... I also recommend that you delete everything on the sd card other then your music and dcmia folder (camera saved pics).... then reset the device.... and then after reflashing then rom then do the no icq then do the fm radio gtalk thing then turn it off and use odin to flash the modem...

i used the ee03 tar to flash the rom to my phone so everything was already done including the modem. i tried clearing the cache and fixing permissions with no luck. ill give resetting the phone a try and see how well that will work for me. also before doing that, do you think you could send me a copy of your camera apk from the system app folder to see if that would work for me?

what you suggested isnt working :-\. i did factory reset, cache and dalvik 3x and and tried doing the firmware update and still no luck. i also formatted the sd card and removed all the extra stuff off of it

[Q] snapchat won't receive or record videos

Since upgrading to 4.3, snapchat has not been able to load videos. it just keeps refreshing at "tap to load" i also noticed that when attempting to record video, the screen freezes until you lift your finger, then snapchat treats it like a picture.. so i cannot record or send videos either.
anyone else encounter this? fyi, i also installed the moto x camera and am using the banks gapps with photosphere add on. this problem is persistent in two different jss 4.3 aosp roms. i tried clearing app data, uninstalling, reinstall, no change.

titanium backup snapchat
im going to bump this issue because i have some thoughts on what might be the issue..
titanium restore.. there was an incompatibility with 4.3 when 4.3 was released. of course i had flashed 4.3 prior to titanium app update and used it to restore snapchat. this is when the no video problem started.
my hypothesis is this.. snapchat needs to store your videos locally on the phone before viewing, then deletes it after viewing. do you think that when titanium restored the app, it restored it with incorrect internal storage mapping? if snapchat can't access internal storage, that would explain why it cant load or record videos.
now, ive uninstalled and reinstalled snapchat before with no luck.. might that be because snapchat leaves bits and pieces of itself in the phone therefore never really has a fresh install?
if this is the case, how can i go about hunting down every last bit of snapchat?

I'm able to view videos fine, but I'm having the same problem recording videos. One thing I've noticed, if I flash a new rom [complete wipe] I can record videos fine for a few hours, but after that it starts acting up again [recording, but then only saving the first frame and sending only a picture.]
Also, I should note I'm on a Galaxy S3, noticed this issue on Cyanogenmod [4.2+] and ParanoidAndroid [4.2+], haven't tried stock. I'll reply here if I figure it out, let me know if you have any results too!

I did find a solution. I uninstalled Snapchat then went into twrp recovery and deleted the folder associated with it located at data/media/android/data/*snapchat*
Reboot and reinstall Snapchat. That folder will be recreated... Correctly.. With what I believe to be the right permissions.
If you want to try something else first try the app "fix permissions" and run it on Snapchat. Maybe that will fix the permissions of the folder.
Lastly there is a zip you can flash that fixes all permissions on your internal storage to proactively fix this issue for any other app. Search for fix internal storage permissions. The thread should come up.

Thanks. I boot to TWRP 2.6.x, File Manager, use chmod on snapchat folder and subfolders, reboot and the video record works. This was on Supernexus 4.3 on T-Mobile Galaxy S2 T989.

I'm a little slow, what is chmod? I tried finding the snapchat folder to delete after unistall, but could not. I'm flashing a new rom now coincidentally so I'm hoping snapchat will just work after that... otherwise I might try this fix permissions app. I would really like to be able to send video snaps. Seems like it should be an easy enough thing....

Bump
Also having this problem. I installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on my GS3, used titanium backup. Ended up reverting to my nandroid backup a few hours later, and now my snapchat cannot record videos, look at videos, OR see "My Story" posts (if i click on them, it does a quick load, but doesn't open)
I read through this thread, but cannot figure out how to delete the SnapChat folder in recovery mode. I tried deleting it in the TWRP file manager, and it SAYS it deleted it, but it is still there. Any help please?

Stock Camera creating directories

Hi there,
since Nougat update the Stock Camera (4.1) is creating empty directories for every taken photo in the camera folder.
is there a way to disable that?
phone is not rooted, everything is stock

I believe it is known bug. It's not suppose to do that. Hopefully next update will fix it.

The camera from 7.1 solved this problem

Fix permissions?

Hello,
After backing up my phone because i bought a 128gb micro sd i decided to install android 7.1, everything was unstable, whatsapp couldn't download pics or videos. I couldnt make screenshots and when i tried a file explorer, everything was empty. I have no access to any of my files, i can only install apps. I don't know how to fix permissions etc. I even tried to downgrade to 7.0, same issue. Tried it with 6.0 too, (DU) same issue. It's really frustating, i need my phone tomorrow already because i have school.
Edit: Going to try to install the stock rom, it was on github, can i install it with TWRP?

Random apps deleting in Lineage os

Guys I know it sounds crazy but sometimes when my phone is in charge and connected to WiFi my apps gets deleted. Now this happens as soon as play store updates some apps. And the crazier part is that my data stays intact. All I need to do is install the apk/download from play store and it's the same as before. The most affected app is Facebook, and then WhatsApp plus and canary (please don't tell because it's modded cuz Facebook and chrome canary aren't modded but same results). Now I'm on Lineage os the latest build with elementalx kernel. And no apps like greenify. I'm on the 43 variant(Indian) with open gapps (mini) and I clean flashed it.
The log I took was just after I realised that my apps had gone(not sure exactly when they were uninstalled but right after I realised) just unzip the file and you should have it.
AND YES THE POST SOUNDS CRAZY SO PLEASE DON'T TELL THAT. -_-

Same thing happened in resurrection remix latest build.

Apps are also crashing in r.r.

If anyone needs more details am willing to help,

It's related to the external-SD camera fix

This is not a ROM related problem, the same happened to me when I used the ExtSD_Fix_rw-signed-v1.9b.zip which you can find in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/stock-motorola-camera-t3596659
I couldn't find out why the script in that zip causes apps to uninstall randomly when you reboot the device, but I corrected using this fix for the external-sd write for the camera: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/fix-motorala-camera-write-to-externalsd-t3498573 instead of that.
Also you have to use the regular moto camera ported which you can find on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/stock-camera-t3540473 but you have to manually delete the com.motorola.*** .jar files on /system/framework/
I made a zip that makes the instalation of the camera and the deletion of the com.motorola.*** .jar files automatically but undfortunately I can't post links that are outside the XDA forums yet. With that you'll only have to apply the fix for the external-sd manually

Your'e welcome!
Also you better try this on a clean install

Hello, I have this strange problem I am using RRN 5.8.5 version on my oneplus 3. And my apps randomly gets deleted from the phone. At random times I try to look for the app and its gone. Like youtube gmaps even google keyboard some times gets deleted??? Can some one explain me whats going on ? One of my theories is that when the app ties updating it gets deleted and does not reinstall.

I have the same issue on LineageOs 14.1 on my moto G4 plus.
So according to your post because I used the moto camera zip file and the sdcard fix, I've formatted system, dalvik cache and cache, reinstalled lineageos, addonsu and Gapps but I still have applications that disapear (F-Droid for example). Note: I haven't reinstalled any moto camera app.
So if you have an idea ?

That's because the sdcard fix is what triggers apps to disapear, try a fresh install (formatting data also) and do not use the fix but DO reinstall moto camera, nothing changed for you because your permissions are not defined in the system partition.
I guarantee nothing but try this moto camera, it worked for me because I made it for me, but it implements the latest apk of the moto camera that is available and gets the writing permissions for the sd and does not make apps to dissapear.
I bought a UHS sd to use it as internal storage and do not worry for external permissions ever again but I remember i got the permissions when the sd was FAT32 formatted, and it happened without doing anything but flashing it.
I can't post links to external sources in XDA so here's the key for download it from MEGA just paste it to the end of mega .co .nz /
