[Q] [AOSP ROMs] KitKat camera crashing on startup

I had been running CM 10.2 for a while. Last night did a factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik and installed latest CM11 snapshot (M12). Stock camera app was crashing upon startup ("Unfortunately, camera has stopped."). Tried using 2 other camera apps (Google camera and open camera) and neither worked as well. Then tried flashing SlimKat and had the same problem. Already tried reflashing, rebooting, etc. multiple times. Anyone know why this is happening or have a fix?
I am using ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.5.1, if that matters.
Also, already tried the CMFix thing from the play store, if anyone is planning on suggesting that, and it didn't work.
Also, I had unsuccesfully tried using the fix posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/17-fixed-camera-app-lib-cm-aosp-roms-t2505973 not realizing it was meant for the international version. Has that ****ed me over? I have since done a clean reflash of CM11
Update: Downgraded to CM 10.2. Camera does not even work here now! Gives the error, "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped working". Please help

[Q] No data connection

Hi guys,
I have a problem with some roms and don't have a clue what's the cause. Maybe someone on here is able to help.
So I went from PA 5.0 alpha to the latest stable Cataclysm release (5.0.x -> 5.1). Factory Wipe and everything. Everything was running fine except that no mobile data was available. Only data, I could call and send SMS as usual.
I thought it may be a bad flash and did everything again, but that didn't solve the problem. So I tried switching to another rom and had the same issue with Euphoria and Chroma.. My data connection only worked with OmniRom (which I didn't like for some other reasons, so now I'm back to PA and Android 5.0....).
Does anyone have an idea what's causing this issue?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem. I have searched and searched but been unable to find any way to access Recents. Long pressing the home key does nothing. I also tried the Recently app but could not figure out how to get it to activate.

pretty awesome !
after flashing "Slim-skyrocket-5.1.1.alpha.0.3-UNOFFICIAL-20150607-0208" I keep asking myself "why my battery is not draining" It's like -0.5%/hr during deep sleep.

Not sure. Maybe stock video player doesn't support that video format.
Try MX player and tell me which video format is not working? Oh boy ! ?

SlimLP - Skyrocket
Hey everyone. I am currently 20150607-0208 version. I am thinking of switching to the latest version with the F2FS support. I need guidance on how to install this specific rom. Just need to confirm few things. So i wipe date and cache to F2FS and i wipe dalvik cache and system in the normal way we usually do? Then I flash rom and gapps? Thats it?

Format /data and /cache to F2FS. Then wipe /system and /dalvik (yes, clean flash). Make sure you make a nandroid backup first. This will also preserve your current file system type for data and cache for when you restore, if needed.
You might want to wait until my next build is posted to try it. There will be a bunch of things fixed as well as new features.

Help needed. Strange problem
Hey. I really need help here. I have been using SlimLP for quite sometime now. No issues no nothing. I was using the latest rom with the F2FS support. I was using it and suddenly it flashed, vibrated and kept on vibrating. I did not pay much attention. Took the battery out, reinserted it and it worked fine. I was already thinking of trying Paranoid so i had already put the respective rom and gapps in the phone.
So i changed the rom and clean flashed Paranoid. It worked fine for a few days but i started experiencing the same problem again. I use the phone, it flashes, vibrates and then keeps on vibrating. I try pressing power button so it shows samsung logo, starts to boot as i can see the paranoid icon, but breaks in between and the same thing happens. But sometimes its able to boot properly. I use the phone for a while and same thing happens.
I clean flashed this rom again. Same issue. Clean flashed the previous Slim rom. same issue. Restored backup from slim rom. same issue. Restored backup of my stock jellybean. Same issue! Please help!
My phone is currently sitting idle and i am not experiencing any issue. As soon as i use it, after a minute or two i face this problem. Please help.

Help with google
Thank you very much for the hard work and do appreciate it all.
Am coming from a different rom which is also 5.1 and am using latest philz touch recovery. I cleared everything including dalvik cache and
flashed both rom and gapps and the phone boots up successfully. Am actually enjoying the rom but my problem is i can't setup google account on the rom. It force closes during the account setup process.

Re-flashed the rom successfully, as the first time around it did not ask me Language or Google account info and Google Play services kept crashing endlessly. Maybe I just needed to flash it again, or maybe the Gapps package I got didn't agree with my setup (now using Slim_zero_gapps.BETA.5.1.build.0.x-20150820 and it seems to work ok). Thanks for the upload! I have been looking for a good custom rom to run my i727 until I upgrade to a newer phone. The BEST rom I had before was SlimKat Official for Skyrocket, but it's a bit outdated don't you think? It's very nice to see a new interface; really brings a freshness and new appreciation for my old hardware. Thank you.
Also, I am kind of curious about how to view currently opened apps. I used to hold the home button to do this so I could cycle through and kill them if needed.
-Edit- August 26, 2015 2:18 P.M. CST I really love how smooth this rom is at times, but other times it gets laggy and crashes apps after a couple moments for no reason. I did use a custom PIT file to re-partition my i727 so may be other variables as well. Has anyone else had apps crash on them?

no audio through headphone jack
i have done a clean flash and install of the new build of slimlp (nospamdan) having issues with audio coming from headphone jack when jack is removed all sound disappears music wise

[Q] Update issues with CyanogenMod

My phone is currently running off of cm-12-20150324-NIGHTLY-m8.zip and gapps-lp-20150222-singed.zip
I recently downloaded the latest nightlies (from 0603 and 0604), and I'm having some issues. Either the phone app keeps crashing or google play keeps crashing or settings keeps crashing.
I've tried factory resets, and I can get it to the point where one of the latest nightlies is working, but when I subsequently install, gapps-5.1-2015-06-02-15-19.zip, then after I reboot, my phone app starts crashing again.
The only thing that seems to fix this is to do a factory reset and revert to the older versions of both CyanogenMod and gapps. So now, I turn to the community that is wiser and more experienced than I and ask ... why?

There have been reports that some of the latest gapps are causing play services to force close. I would recommend using a different gapps. Maybe give banks gapps a go and see if that helps. Also, some nightlies might not be as stable as previous ones. I know some were having issues with june 2 gapps.

Still having issues. I've tried newer nightlies and two other gapps packages, including Banks. All with the same results. I even wiped the cache, dalvik, system and data partitions. Same behavior.

Looks like I finally got this fixed.

Glad to see you're working on the ovation version as well. I've upgraded from your 14.1 version to this one but I've been getting an error on the slimkat boot. I've used the twrp 3.1.1, factory reset, fresh install. The error was about data mounting. In the 14.1 I had both data and cache under the f2f system. When I installed back your 14.1 version, everything was back to normal, no errors. Do I need to format data and cache to ext4 for this slimkat version to work?

What build are you using?

I used this one Slim-ovation-4.4.4.build.9.14-UNOFFICIAL-20180108-1016.zip and this one lineage-14.1-20171216-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip as well as open_gapps-arm-4.4-pico-20180110.zip.
I saw you've put a 01-10 build today, I will try it and report back.

I tried the 01-10 build and it didn't work for me either. But this time I took a photo of the error. Hopefully this will help.
update:
went straight back to twrp and format data and cache to ext4 and it worked. I didn't do a factory reset or reinstall, just changed the formats and reboot.
Looks good so far, thank you for all the hard work #secretwolf98

Your welcome.

Google play seem to gives me problems, either crushes, or exists often. Also the nook button doesn't seem to work. Otherwise this new interface is beautiful and this rom looks very promising.

The biggest issue is with Chromium, it crashes with this strange error:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Couldn't load chromium_android_linker from loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[DexPathList[[zip file "/system/app/Chromium.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/vendor/lib, /system/lib]]]: findLibrary returned null
The graphics seem unstable with hardware overlays, you can really see it when opening/closing Downloads and DSP Manager.

Recovery Version
I haven't done much with my HD+ since loading up CM a while back (I'm on 4.4.4 I think). Wanted to give this ROM a try since the CM one likes to reboot every day or two when it get's thinking too hard.
Question is, can I flash this with my current recovery? I'm using CWM 6.0.4.6 right now. Not sure if I needed to switch to TWRP and if so what version?
Other then wiping Data / Cache and installing the zip, anything else off hand I need to know?
Thanks all!

Yup got brave and gave it a try once I got a backup done. Installed just fine but didn't seem to like the gapps package I installed too much. Going to play around with it a bit now that I feel slightly more confident I won't brick the thing. Thanks!

Gapps
Which gapps do I use with this ROM? All that I've tried crash. I've used Open gapps and I dug up a zip from Slimroms.
Aside from the inability to use google play services, this rom is looking great.

I'm having the same problem.
open GAPPS - play store partially loads then FCs
PA - fails to install "incompatible gapps already installed" even though there isn't any.
slim gapps from the old site - can't sign in, play services FCs
Also, why isn't there a browser built in?
EDIT: It seems CWM doesn't completely clear my previous attempts when wiping. Is there a recovery that'll do an actual full wipe? Latest TWRP is broken for older android versions.
