[Q] Fring issues when flashing any other Rom/Kernal other than stock

I'm having issues with Fring force closing every time it try's to bring up the front facing camera in video calls. Now I know this thread usually wouldn't belong in Android Development, but it only happens when I'm not using the Stock Rom or Kernal. I've tried the Baked Snack ROM, Tha Boss Rom, & Andromeda Galaxy Rom and they are all exhibiting the same problem. Also, I've tried using the Kernals that come with each rom, and also the MixUP kernal and its the same thing. I'm not sure if its because of some conflict that occurs, or what. Is anyone having this problem?

I've had the same problem. Flashing back to stock did fix it.

have you guys tried clearing the data? just a thought.

I have the same issue, i have to flash to stock then flash a rom, if i flash more than one rom it force closes, then after flash to stock and nand droid backup sometime it will work and other times it wont, just seems to be hit or miss for me goodluck on getting it figured out

Good to know it's not just me. Thanks for the responses. It's my girls phone so I'll see which she prefers (Rooted/Rom'd/Kernaled or Fring). She'll probably choose Rooted though because of the better battery life. I'll keep an eye out for a fix.

Same with me in BOSS ROM v0.2

Yeah I think it's an issue with all the roms as of right now. Hopefully one of the Devs will take notice of this issue and work out a fix for us. Thanks in advance guys.

Add me to the list...using Andromeda and it gives me the FC everytime...going back to stock fixes it.
Thought I was the only one too...

Yep fring definitely doesn't work with custom roms, I have tried every possible combo and nothing helps. Stock looks like the only option so far

Clear Droid Q&A

As some of you have come from the captivate know what I did there with Rom Q&A threads. I am doing the same here. In an effort to clean up the site. All Rom related question shall from now on be posted in the proper Q&A or will be deleted on sight.
So was it strange that I was never told this thread even existed and had no idea until just now? For anyone still having problems, a few troubleshooting techniques:
-When installing, are you sure you cleared cache and dalvik? If coming from a major release to a major release, did you do a full wipe instead?
-Are you using the proper radio, as posted in the first post of the thread?
-Are you using any task managers or antivirus apps?

i just flashed 1.2.11 to my phone which i decided to finally root after about 4 months, and i love it. I installed barnacle due to the stock hotspot debacle and when i go to use it it tells me that NAT is not connected. now here at work, where i am testing it, i dont have great connection but i can get 3g to work here. what does it mean when NAT does not connect?

Sorry, no answer here on the hotspot issue. Have you PMd Mister ClearD? He is very responsive and has been working hard on this whole hotspot issue... he'd likely be very interested in your problem.

I too am running 1.2.11, and am delighted with it. However, I am wondering if there is any way to get more volume out of the speaker for ringtones and alarms. I have them maxed out on the phone's adjustments, but it's still awfully quiet.

Michael look for an app called volume+ made by meltus I believe in the market. It works with gingerbread but not froyo. There is a few other fixes for the volume limit but I can't link them currently because I am on my phone. Do a search for it and it should come up. If someone doesn't post it up.

Thanks, got it and it does help!

i sent him a PM. if he gives an answer that works i will post it and let everyone know.

Hello,
Last night I flashed the latest ClearDroid ROM 1.1.51, but when I check under the software information menu, it says the Android version is 2.2.1
The flash seems to work because it says it's running Cleardroid.
Shouldn't it be running the Gingerbread (2.3) update or am I mistaken?
Also, the data connection seems to screw up, and only works when it wants. Sometimes ROM Manager will disappear from the apps menu.
I did a full wipe before flashing and it still won't work.
I also just flashed CoreDroid and it did update to 2.3 , but I want my stock HTC theme back!
Thanks!

The version 1.1.51 is still on froyo build but has the new ril for gingerbread. On the first page of the Dev post he has a link to the matching radio. Give it a flash and see if it helps with your data connection. If you want gingerbread his version 1.2.xx is the gingerbread Rom (still in beta), it has the fix for messaging but he is still working on tethering. It's still the stock look to the dot
On the app side I don't know what could be going on there, sorry I couldn't help on that point, (since I'm not having that particular error)

im personally running 1.2.12 RC2 which is his latest Beta, along with the suggested radio. i dont have any problems with network and it looks and behaves great while keeping that stock look. honestly i love this ROM. if you have any major questions just send ClearD a PM and he will get back to you. probably my favorite dev because he is so thorough and responsive to his followers.

to post my own answer ClearD told me that 1.2.12 has a working tether program. he is still working on making the stock tether work but for now the one he has included in the rom works great so no need for barnacle

Thanks Pytheous and Hiyabuz! I'll give the latest beta a shot because last night I flashed the rooted AT&T stock rom and my battery life improved but I'm still having data problems. Now I'm not sure if it's my cell company or the ROM that's causing the problems.
I'm afraid of flashing the radio and losing my signal completely!

This ROM, from what i can tell, is basically a stock ROM with all of the bloatware crap taken out, and a few cool gadgets added here and there. I love the ROM and the way it feels, but what i love the most is the responsiveness of the Dev for the ROM. If i have an issue i just send him a PM and he either sends me an answer or gets to work on it right away.
as for the radio i flashed the reccomended one on his original dev post and i actually get better signal in most places.

I also have another question of my own. i wanted to test out the GPS last night and it seemed a little more sluggish than stock. i could be immagining things but i was wondering if anyone else was having this problem also.

ok thanks buz. i just wanted to check
i only used it for about 3 min so it wasnt a very good judge of use

For example yesterday I retried mine first reconnect of gps after upping to new radio took 5 mins without vase and was sluggish. With case it took almost 10, today with case on first lock took 14secs with an 8 sat lock inside and using my case. its been awesome since he put in the gps fix. B4 it could take up to 30 mins for first lock without my case and it was only like 4 sats.

Noob here, I flashed the ClearDroid 1.2.12 rom a couple of days ago and love it. The only thing i want to change is the secure box in the messages menu. I would like to hide it or remove it, is it possible? Any help is appreciated, I did search I swear I did.

Will the Tiny audio fix work with this rom?

Issues with using latest gingerbread build.
Hello CleardDroid team;
I am a big fan your ROM, it works great on my phone. I have some serious issues using this ROM;
1) I am unable to compose message, when i try to compose message it force closes. I have tried alot to fix the issue but unable to resolve it. I have cleared its data, restarted it, fix the permissions using ROM manager, but failed to fix the issue.
2) Hotspot is not working, but I guess you are working on it.

[Q] WiFi flaky with Sky-Jelly-Bean ROM from seanzscreams

I am posting it for first time but have tried many ROMs since GB ROMs on my skyrocket. I am not yet allowed to post this question on dev's ROM page. Recently I flashed Sky-Jelly-Bean ROM from Sean T11 beta. While the WiFi worked fine before flashing the 11.2 update, it became flaky after I flashed the update. Every 10 minutes or so it would switch to cell network and back to WiFi. This seriously impacts any downloads or streaming. Same happened with T10 base as well. I didn't notice it on T7.1 though.
I noticed this issue at home and at work. I had full WiFi signal when I had it. But still it switches to cell network about every 10 mins.
I did wipe cache and dalvik 5X before flashing the update. Fixed permissions too. Using TWRP open recovery for flashing the ROMs. Is anyone else noticing the same issue? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Sean for another wonderful ROM. I have been flashing all your ROMs and updates since GB ROMs on my skyrocket. None of them failed to impress me.

wait continues...
I have to wait for 9 more posts to start posting the questions directly in dev's ROM pages.

It's a beta. He stated if you want a flawless Rom go back to 7.1

Yeah, I took the risk with the beta. But I had the same issues with T10 as well. I wanted to know if anyone is facing similar issues or is it only me. Are you on T11? Do you see any similar issues?

I went and fixed permissions for few times and now the frequency of the problem has reduced, but not completely. I guess I have to live with that for now. Hoping future updates or ROMs from sean might fix it.
Thanks all for responding.

Dose anyone know where I can get a different boot animation for the sky jelly bean? To like the nexus one or the original jelly bean animation?

Try a different radio or reflash the current one.

I had that issue on UCLF6 and tried UCLI3. But both had the same issue.
As I mentioned before, it got much better after fixing permissions for few times. I can live with it until 4.2 updates come.

You might want to post this directly under Sean's SkyJelly bean thread if you are using his ROMs.
Btw, someone in that thread mentioned that the ROM stopped working after flashing a new boot animation. You might want to search around a bit before playing with flashing boot animations.

Formated cache, system, data, etc 5x and then flashed just the base 5.0 rom, Nothing. Flashed back to Sky ICS just fine. Flashed to other JB based roms fine, but this one just won't flash. Kinda sad really.

[Q] Rear Camera Not Working -Any ideas?

Hello there, i am having some interesting issues with my att xl.
Stock ICS ROM rear camera works perfect.
Any custom JB sense rom, rear camera doesn't work.
Liquidsmooth cm 10.1 JB rom rear camera works perfect.
stock JB 3.18 att rom, rear camera doesn't work.
Before anyone gets all froggy, yes i read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911847&page=3 and it doesn't really pertain to my situation as I am able to get my camera working on different roms.
It seems as though it may be a driver issue, so i tried copying the camera libs from the working cm 10.1 rom into the appropriate folders on both the custom and stock sense jb roms but i just get stuck at boot screen and have to reflash.
Any help will....help... maybe i didnt grab all the files or something.
Thanks ahead of time.

Anyone with any ideas what so ever? Ill try anything at this point.

try to check the md5 of the download jb files and the ones mentioned in the OP and do not try using cm 10.1 libs on sense roms its different , else did u try wiping cache of ur camera and see .. just try some other sense JB Rom and see if u get the same error !

S-on? Did you remember to flash boot.img for every ROM?

What recovery are you using? A couple of us have had a problem where our dialer would fc if we flashed a sense rom using TWRP after using CWM.

I have tried both cwm and twrp. And have also tried flashing the boot.img.
I think what I will have to try next is reflashing back to ics then starting over...this sucks, it must be a different camera on my particular device...it is a refurbished unit they gave me. Thanks for all the ideas so far, and any more are welcomed.

Ok, I completely re-ruu 'ed... If that makes any sense, to the newest cingular evita rom.. . And... Same exact problem, front camera works, rear doesn't. So my question now is, can I get the camera libs from an ics rom and throw them into the jb rom ? It looks like that will have to be my next venture. This blows

[Q] Nexus 5 Flashlight not working on stock except Paranoid Android

Hi experienced developers.
So, directly coming to the point... I have a hammerhead aka Nexus 5 16GB.
The phone works superb. No issue is reported till now. But one thing is eating my brain and I am damn frustated about it, is that the flashlight of the phone won't turn up or work on any firmware or stock rom. I tried every other rom, L Developer Preview, MIUI, Re flashed KTU84Q from Google's website and what not. I tried everything but the Flash won't work. Some apps in play store for Flashlights say error message that LED is not found. I have attached Screenshot of the same. So, in short no way could turn the flashlight except for one day when I tried Paranoid Android on my Nexus 5. I opened the app (fingers crossed) and kaboom.... FLASHLIGHT TURNED ON!!! I was hell surprised as to none of my attempts did turn on that light.. Not even Pure Stock Google firmware couldn't do so. But the default Flashlight app on PA do turn on the flashlight. I tried the Flashlight.apk file of PA on stock rom and it says "Unfortunately Stopped"
I am damn frustated and confused as to what shall I do. I can't use PA as my daily driver.
I need Stock Rom+Xposed with L Developer Preview on multi boot. Please help me developers.

Kernel isn't exactly stock, but close enough.
Paranoid Android's Flashlight app won't work on stock ROMs since it uses sysfs rather than camera functionality to turn on the flash.
Try taking the .apk out of a CyanogenMod 11 Nightly and see if that works.

Yeah... Sorry. I was first on stock kernel only. But then I installed MultiRom and flashed the custom kernel required by MultiRom. But guess what.... Flashlight won't turn on in either kernel. I tried Flashlight.apk from CyanogenMod 11 but no use.
Yeah.. I would like to tell you.... My camera doesn't work. The Camera app doesn't show on phone. I am able to open secondary camera from Lockscreen shortcut but the phone has no app for camera. I think it's camera is broken. If you can help... I'll be really really thankful to you.
