[Q] Nexus 5 Flashlight not working on stock except Paranoid Android - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Stock, buddy.

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.

Sounds like you did something wrong when flashing rooms.. Re flash stock ROM again

camera flash kills phone

I have wiped reinstalled rom, touch to focus, nothing works. as soon as I use flash my phone goes black resulting in a battery pull. running blackbean 6, would really like tofind a fix since I love this Rom. also is there any way to pull the camera from synergies r73 to use with this rom? I love the volume as shutter option and haven't found any mods that work on this rom for the same feature.
thanks!

so is there any fix for flash rendering a phone reboot? I tried several other jb roms that were 4.1 and 4.2 based and same problem. if I use a camera app it works fine, but lacks the quality in picture.
If this isn't fixed by flashing a new ROM then believe it or not you need a new battery. This was a common problem on the DROID charge.

If I stay stock rom it works fine, or if i use any rom later than 4.1. I never had any issues on synergy until the jb leak, then just assumed it was a glitch somewhere, but i have found after testing it does it on any rom that runs 4.1 or higher unless im running stock. I think i might have found a fix tho, i pulled the camera from stock rom and placed it in my sys/app fixed permissions and works fine. I tried this with the 4.2 camera but it crashed my phone to. So i guess im stuck with stock for now?

4.3 PAC-man ROM feedback~!!!

cus i can not post in the "development " so I'd like to feedback here and hope someone can feedback for me
1st, It's strange, if you set ur language to english the rom's system ui will be fine , but if you set it as chinese or others, it will be system ui FC
2nd, is it possible to add an option to show the carrier label in the status bar ? some one may keen on it ~

can you work on increasing the battery life of the 4.3 pac im running the new 1.0 kernel jbx but still the roms using up a lot of battery
underclocking and tweaking the governors seem to help a little but i think the kexec drawing a lot of power.
btw gr8 work on the rom integration of cm pa and aokp
saw ur github nice wrk.........:good:

i second tht opinion but pa seems to have less battery consumption and with the gapps included into the rom it seems to be quite stable.
but if you want to tweak around with your cpu cm should do the trick.

Me too. But i found that 4.3 pacman has less battery drain. The cm 4.3 is a real toaster. the devices heats up for no reason sometimes. Ravi bhai kabhi milo to sahi. Personally dhanyavad karna chahenge aapko currently on pacman 4.3 . Also curious what MIUI v6 might bring....!!

Maybe a bad download and/or a bad flash.(?) I haven't had any of the issues you're reporting, and haven't seen others reporting the same so it is likely something on your end. Just redownload and reflash and see if that helps.:thumbup:

Hi, the pac rom is very stable and fast, i use the nightly 23.
But, i have a bug to repport wen usb headset is connected, and recive or do a call if you don't hang before the other person hangs the phone is blocked and restart a little secs after.
Second with the lastes builds 26, 25 or 24 the wifi is not working. I test restarting, with wifical.sh, a fresh install (4.0.4 or 4.1.2) motorola roms flashed with rsd, i tried to install the 23 over 26 rom and wifi didin't start.

[ROMs][10/28/2013][D801 T-Mo]Unofficial - CM - Paranoid Android - AOKP - Vanir

Just something I slapped together to see if I can get it working on the D800 and what features I want to incorporate into my multi-flavor CM base build I am working on. I did not take the time to compile these ROMs. Other users have compiled them and I just ported them to work on the D800. Just sharing these versions for now until official ROMs come.

If you want to report bugs than I suggest you find the ROM thread in the G2 Original or Android Development forums and post the bugs there since the creators will see it.
Will gladly root and flash this right now, anything to help development for us forsaken T-Mobile users lol. Thanks for this.

Isn't that the gapps for 4.2.2? CM10.2 is 4.3 so you need gapps-jb-20130813 if I'm not mistaken. I'm about to flash the rom and gapps right now and report what I have.

Doing the same as this individual and will see what comes out of it.
So far so good. Was getting random FC on android.process.media while Play Store was downloading all my apps which caused Play Store to crash, but that seemed to have stopped once the Play Store itself updated to the latest version that came out recently (the one where the menu pulls out from the left side rather than via a button).
Now everything seems to be working just fine. No FCing, keyboard works. Gonna report back after a few hours once I take it through its paces for my personal use. Thank you soooo so much, I couldn't stand the stock LG ROM.
EDIT:
No default ringtones or notification sounds if that counts as a bug lol
Also just got a FC from android.process.media again on the home screen randomly.

ill wipe properly and such and try this once the stock roms downloaded on mine
i also have propper gapps so well have a detailed report
im also gonna take a look at the att source and see if i can hack up the device tree so we can start our own builds but i dont wanna be a supporting dev. no time :\ tmobile consumes my life enough as is
Working for me no fc so far but I have no gapps it would bit flash with twrp
Downloaded and flashed (using latest gapps) and the camera / gallery is having force closes. Every time that the camera is opened, I get "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped" however, when I open gallery, it works properly.
* Data connects properly
* Texts seem to come through just fine
* Google Now always says that there is a network error and to try again. EDIT: seems to have resolved itself.
* Gmail / Email seems to be working
* Browser is as fast as ever
* APN's seem to be set correctly on both epc.tmobile.com and fast.t-mobile.com (LTE)
So far, excellent start!
EDIT: I can't seem to download anything from the Play store. I can browse the play store just fine, but can't download?? Probably just my phone, but thought I'd mention it.

Thanks! I was going to buy a second device since I can not tie up my main phone flashing and what not. I am short a couple of hunderd so I will put it towards the new device fund. I use AT&T but can get a T-Mobile edition and just sim unlock it. I was going to get the T-Mobile version and unlock it but my friend had an upgrade he did not use and owed me a favor so I got the AT&T version instead.
Everything works in mine minus keyboard fc back key not mapped and random freezing that require a hard reset

Fast custom ROM with android 4.2.2

I am looking for a custom ROM for my Samsung Galaxy S II Plus (GT-I9105P) which is faster than the stock ROM.
I installed Liquidsmooth 3.0 and tested the speed and its working perfectly now. Its based on Android version 4.4.3. But the camera app is actually really bad; the pictures are always blurry. I guess something is wrong with the focus, because it works fine with the original 4.2.2 Samsung Camera App. I found out that I can't restore the app because Liquidsmooth (Andoid 4.4.3) doesn't support Touchwiz Apps.
Even the apps from the PlayStore are not as good as the old SamsungCamera App.
So here's my question: Is there a fast custom ROM (preferred a popular like LiquidSmooth) which is baised on 4.2.2? Or are there others who have also problems with blurry pictures in 4.4.3 and have a fix?
CWM 10.1.3 has a lot of bugs, like no vibration, so I don't want this ROM. LiquidSmooth 2.3 is baised on Andoird 4.2.2 but there is no Download Link for the SGS II Plus / doesn't supported? Or does the Phone model even matter?
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!!

Try lollipop rom... In my opinion has much better camera than kitkat. The only iconvenience is that still don't have the option to sd and don't have pause on camcorder yet

But isn't cwm a Rom created for more personalizing and not for increasing speed? I am worried that it's still slow or is it the speed compared to liquidsmooth?
Lollipop ROM runs on ART runtime, it's much more effective than Dalvik-based.
So far 2 weeks of use no lag at all, back when I was using Paranoid Android 4.6 or CM11 M12, there were some lag sometimes.
Battery life is more awesome than before. In previous ROMs, I don't use GPS and ended up like 30% battery by the end of the day.
With Lollipop, I use GPS 24/7 and ended up 30% battery by the end of the day too.

So the rom is great and the battery lasts so much longer but there are still some bugs. Its so great having the latest Android version on this "old" phone! But does any of you also have the problem that after every reboot, some of the app icons are missing/deleted?

I am looking for a custom ROM for my Samsung Galaxy S II Plus (GT-I9105P) which is faster than the stock ROM.
I installed Liquidsmooth 3.0 and tested the speed and its working perfectly now. Its based on Android version 4.4.3. But the camera app is actually really bad; the pictures are always blurry. I guess something is wrong with the focus, because it works fine with the original 4.2.2 Samsung Camera App. I found out that I can't restore the app because Liquidsmooth (Andoid 4.4.3) doesn't support Touchwiz Apps.
Even the apps from the PlayStore are not as good as the old SamsungCamera App.
So here's my question: Is there a fast custom ROM (preferred a popular like LiquidSmooth) which is baised on 4.2.2? Or are there others who have also problems with blurry pictures in 4.4.3 and have a fix?
CWM 10.1.3 has a lot of bugs, like no vibration, so I don't want this ROM. LiquidSmooth 2.3 is baised on Andoird 4.2.2 but there is no Download Link for the SGS II Plus / doesn't supported? Or does the Phone model even matter?
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!!

There is liquid smooth 3.2 (4.4.4) fyi,. you could try the new google camera from the play store. There are other kitkat roms that are also excellent(sprit,axxion,PAC,PA) should you think Lolipop is too buggy, but you cannot installed touchwiz apps on a custom rom, regardless of android version.

Okay thanks a lot for your answer. I decided to update to Cm12 with Android 5. It's pretty good so far and the developers bring new updates very quickly.
