[Q] Help SGS1 - General Questions and Answers

Right, I was using MIUI for a while and got bored, so I reverted back to a official firmware JVT to be exact. But I had a problem, my internet didn't work although wifi was fine. also when taking pictures they store on the phone and i can view them via file manager but they do not show in gallery or even when ive review photos from the camera. AND my music player will not open
So I flashed Darkys ROM 10.2 FE thinking that it was the ROM but i've still got the same problems
Can anyone help?
Please

Nandroid never works for me... what am I doing wrong?

Ok. So ever since I've had this device it's been rooted and as such, i've tried a number of roms. The problem is whenever I start with a rom I really enjoy (currently the stock one... go figure) then i do a nandroid back up.. try a new one.. to find some glaring shortcoming i just have to have (a2dp) and try to restore my nandroid. On my G2 this process was absolutely seamless!
What happens is i restore nandroid... but it doesn't restore my apps... all the space is definitely gone.. like they're in teh file system and cards... but they don't show up in teh launcher and my wallpaper is back to stock... just as if i had a stock device.
Any ideas?

Does this happens with all your nandroids or only one specifically?
Sent From My G2x Running CM7 Nightly 70
So far... none of them have worked. however... they all happen to be backups of the stock rom.. don't think I've ever tried restoring any other rom.

What version of CWM are you using?
Sent From My G2x Running CM7 Nightly 70
Are you initiating the backups thru rom manager or directly from recovery? If you're initiating them from rom manager try booting directly into recovery and then making a backup.
I'm using 3.0.2.7 (the one that rom manager tells me to use). but i always backup while booting directly into CWRM because as we all know... Rom Manager doesn't see the external SD but CWRM does.
I would reflash CWM again.
Do a Nandroid, put it in the sd card and try restoring again.

I think your problem is that you're using rom manager. Try doing it the real way (nvflash).
Rom manager is great on phones in which it doesn't use fakeflash, but I would stay away from the program on phones in which it utilizes fakeflash.

if you have nandroid back your first rom just reflash just wipe /data, /system, /cache on your recovery and restore factory setting before restoring nandroid back up or installing new rom just to make sure there's no residue of the previous rom is left on your phone.
unfortunately i dont have nandroid backup, but i tried to complete restore of ROM, i downloaded original ROM and wipe all caches.. but it didnt help... how can i wipe ALL data? with ROM too? so i wont be able to switch on phone until i flash a new ROM?

Youtube Lag

Hi Everyone,
So recently YouTube updated to version 2.4.4, and apparently, videos launch with considerable lag that locks up the device. I've tried every rom with every kernel and they all behave the same. Maybe Titanium Backup? But it worked before...
1. Anybody else getting this?
2. Any solutions?
Wait I just installed RolleTube (version 2.1.6) and it still lags. Now I'm seriously wondering what's wrong.
something is wrong on a system level. try a fix permissions in cwm

Well, the even weirder thing is that when I just install a ROM, TiBu, and run youtube, there's no lags. Then when I reboot (because of battery or something), the lag reappears. Fix Permissions seems to be locking up in the middle of the process, and I have to hard shutoff to get the device back working. Funny thing is that youtube worked fine like a month ago...

Did that already... Even wiped my internal 16gb. Darkside wipe, fix permission, etc. etc. didn't work - still there.
Also: it seems Go Launcher also has some problems with YouTube's lag... the widget on Go Launcher lags to launch the video on the widget, while twlauncher doesn't have that (as much). Still has crazy device-locking lags though.
EDIT: Oh wow... it seems when I connect my phone to my PC it shows up as a corrupted disk... Windows is asking me if I want to fix the disk. Would that be the problem? And if it is, can I let Windows fix the disk?
I don't think I would let windows do that. It says corrupted or needs formatted?

Ok. Boot into odin and reflash cwm 5.0.2.6. Boot into cwm and format system, then data, the cache and dalvik cache. Repeat 3x. Flash stock through odin. Reboot, twice. Now reflash cwm and then flaah a rom and configure. I don't care what your problem is, that method is a guarantee fix lol

I did this, and I still had lag after restoring TiBu. Lol the look on my face when it happened
But turns out, the TiBu backup of Go Launcher was actually screwing many apps up (including YouTube)... dunno if it was a system issue, but it was the problem. Transitioned to ADW after a full wipe again (without ever launching go launcher) and all was good. Thanks guys.

Don't restore stuff across roms with TiBu. I only use it as a reference of the apps I had. So I always have a clean slate

[Q] Camera not working on HTC sensation

My camera on the sensation doesn't work. Whenever i attempt to open the camera apllication i get a black screen and phone crashes. I am not sure but I believe I am missing the drivers for it as this only happened when i installed a new ROM. I was therfore wondering if someone could point me in the direction of the drivers or an alternative cyanogen ROM. Current version is 10.1-20130806-Albinoman887-pyramid. Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi, my sensation has the same problem. So far I could get is to make a system-format in recovery mode. Before it is good to make a backup though. then installed CM 10.2 albinoman887-pyramid with gapps and camera came back for a while. I still struggle with the cam, i cannot make it sable. I think something overwrites a camera file in dalvik cache, because for me sometimes cleaning only dalvik cache helps to get back camera. maybe it is good to start with this, rather than make a system format first.
best luck...
if anyone knows better solution, please share it with us.
Make a nandroid backup, wipe everything except sd card from 4ext recovery, install a Sense based rom, see if camera problem persist, then wipe everything again and install cm10 rom. If anything goes wrong you still have nandroid backup

Hi, maybe you can help me as well. i went back to original rom 2.3.4, but camera didn't come back. originally, i updated to original 4.0.3 rom and I used this rom for a long time, when camera problem started suddenly. now i can install all kind of rom, camera still won't work stable.
i dont know what happened my sensation cant open camera also
Did you update the firmware? What firmware are you on? And how did you get yur phone s-off?
You have to try another ROM, maybe you flashed a old version of the Rom that has a broken camera.
Try first a Sense-based ROM

[Q] Lock on SIII screen after 1 successful boot to MOAR 7.1

Hi,
I have a rooted VZW S3 and have been running Jelly Beans build 20 for a while now. Wanting to give a 4.3 rom a try I loaded up MOAR 7.1. Wiped everything, I possibly could without wiping my SD card. Flashed the rom, no problems. Booted it up, no problems. Then if I do a reboot, even after it has sat for a while without me doing anything to it, I get stuck on the Samsung SIII screen. I can do a battery pull and go to TWRP then wipe and get back to my Jelly Beans, but I'd like to give MOAR 7.1 a try. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Yeah I have the latest build if twrp and I think I already has the correct Mode from a prior rom. I didn't even check to verify guess I got too excited. I'll check and report back. Thanks.

Well I didn't have the ML1 modem so I wiped everything clean, installed the modem, then the rom. Got the same result.

Here is another user solved the issue, take from the thread:
"What I did was upgrade my recovery with Goo, I removed the SD card, I wiped the internal memory (not sure if this is necessary but what the hell), factory wiped, installed 7.1, once the phone booted up I logged in to gmail, let it sync, didn't install anything else and rebooted just to make sure it reboots fine, and it worked. Then I installed all my apps with TB without data, just the apps. That is what I did. I had the same problem as you for two days and was frustrated but then I read that if you upgrade your recovery it would work fine. I am assuming you are trying to wipe cache and it is telling you that it can't be mounted, that is another problem I was having, so I am assuming that by wiping the internal memory it cleared that problem up. I hope this helps you out. Hopefully someone here can either back up what I am saying or call me crazy and help you out. Good luck."
