Video camera
Been using Liquidsmooth for the past couple of days and I've been getting decent battery life and 95% of the apps I've tried have worked great. I'm seriously considering this for my daily driver. The only thing is the camera. Open camera or other camera apps on play can take pictures, but they can't take video. The apps throw error messages like "this mode isn't supported" when changing bit rate or frame rate or resolution. Basically it seems the app is unable to get any information about the physical video camera from the OS.

Try Vivavideo. Video works with that app. Also get a full catlog of the issue. Use Catlog app to get the log.

I seem to be having camera and WiFi issues. For camera, I can't use apps like Google translate. I get an error "camera has stopped' and it FC's. As for WiFi, it has trouble turning on and off. I usually have to restart my phone, otherwise it says " turning on/off WiFi" forever.
You have to use Open Camera to take pictures, sorry video doesn't work some say vivavideo works. As for wifi don't turn it off and when connecting to a new network hold the wifi notifications toggle and wait for it to connect.

Noticing some things that are causing battery drain. When I look at the Battery usage the apps or services with the highest usage are things like Google Play Store or Browser and Bluetooth. Turning off bluetooth stopped that. I had to Force Stop the Browser and Google Play Store. They both had 'Mobile radio active' times above 2h 30m even though I only had maybe 20 minutes of screen time. I did download an app that took about 30 seconds though. Something about the apps are keeping the mobile radio services going.

I found this alleviated all of my signal problems as well as speed up my data tremendously.
I used this on kitkat but it seems to have much more noticeable effects on lollipop.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bam.android.androidtweaker.two
I have to link it because it doesn't show up in play store searches for some reason.
Attempting to use the phone while connected to my car bluetooth doesn't use the bluetooth connection for sound or mic. The bluetooth is connected and it says Phone and Media audio are both available. The phone becomes unresponsive and eventually asks if I want to wait or stop.
I have TW4.4 NE1 on my phone. Does that prevent me from upgrading to 5.X?
I know once you go 4.3/4.4 you can't go back....wondering if the same goes for going forward.

Awesome, thanks for the info.
Do I still need to use Safestrap or can I flash it just like any other ROM?
-I hate question and answer threads, but I understand and appreciate their purpose. To that end. I must ask. Is 01-29-15 the latest build. If not where could I find those. I've looked so far on android file host and drdevs and g+ liquid.
I'm running 01-29-15 and I don't think people are getting my messages. SMS. Calls go out fine. I use selectel so it could be something with that. I hope I backed up everything I needed. and did a nvbackup.
Sorry if this has been asked, even sorrier if it's been repeatedly asked, but I do search both liquid threads and the other sites to be fair..
EDIT:
SMS works for me. Sorry about that but couldn't get anyone to reply back quick enough. I have settings turned on to get delivery receipts and to use a "dark" theme, Nether are working. Is this an issue.. And Please don't think I'm *****ing. I know this is early still in the ballgame and we're lucky honestly to have something this nice up and running. And to have a couple choices
Now on to the question of where to find the latest builds.
Thanks again

Yes 1-29 is the newest. LiquidSmooth is being rebased from CM 12 to Slim-caf so that Layers will work 100%, so I cannot build until that is done☺. Sorry for any inconvenience. New builds hopefully Monday.

You are absolutely correct. If running safestrap your bootloader is locked down. If you attempt to run anything other than touchwiz BL roms you will brick the phone

My Fellow android enthusiasts
Firstly, I would like to apologize in advance, as I have already asked this question in the 4.2 GAPPS section. re-posting it here since it is device specific (or may be). I am less than 2 hours into the forum so please excuse teething mistakes
I am stuck and need your help. I am running a rooted (of course!) VZW GS3 16 GB. I am on AOKP JB-milestone 1 ROM, Kernel 3.0.48. Android version 4.1.2.
Now I love the new camera and gallery. I have grabbed and flashed multiple versions of the same (android police, droidlife, the whole GAPPS 4.2 package... and multiple more).
In every version I have tried, I have had the same issue.. everything works (video, panaroma, stills during video, photoshpere viewer, gallery effects etc..) however, the most BASIC function, the one of taking still pictures DOES NOT WORK!!!.
The moment I take a still picture, the camera and the gallery crash, and I have to reboot to get them working (as previously) again. I have tried and tried and tried, multiple versions, complete rebuild, everything, no effect. I am at my wit's end, and seek the asistance of your prodigious intellectual faculties to help me put of this jam...
On a side note, I have not yet figured out a way of changing the storage location to external memory card in this new camera.. cant find the setting...
Please help me out friends..

Its a known bug on at least AOSP roms on the galaxy S3 that taking regular pictures without first touching the screen to focus causes the camera to flash. Also i believe using the camera flash causes issues as well. You just need to touch to focus first.

You're welcome just glad i could help you out!
I'm having the exact same problem on the GSIII for AT&T, just to clarify after some guess and check. You have to hit the shutter button immediately after tapping the screen to focus. If you wait till after it achieves focus to hit the shutter button, it'll still lock up. You might want to have a standby camera app in case you want other people to take a photo for you and don't want to explain the bug in your camera app.
Thanks for posting the problem in such detail. Google took me straight here. And cheers for answering so quickly!

THANKS matt6800 - that solution works. Kinda sux though! So is there any fix yet?
Another wrinkle to this:
EDIT: not a new wrinkle! Discovered that my photos were in fact saved at the beginning of my gallery, not lost
adamt19 said:
Another wrinkle to this:
If you take a bunch of pictures using the workaround (touching the screen first) and then forget to do so on the next picture, the gallery app (camera) will freeze AND if you reboot (to regain access to the camera) you will lose all the pictures you took since the last restart.
This burned me badly with a bunch of vacation photos, which I seem to have lost forever due to an incomplete understanding of the consequences of this bug.
So hopefully this prevents others from realizing it before its too late.
Its more than a force-close!

That's a ***** of a bug. I had no clue it was that bad, I stayed away from it when I found out if I forgot to touch the screen I would have to reboot cause I knew I would inevitably forget to touch it. I wish there was a fix for this. It'd be nice to use the new camera.

tried holding until the focus turned green, then let go, and it still crashed
for those who really want the 4.2 camera, and are VZW, try these two TW ROMs (i know, they are not AOSP, but at the moment, these are the only two with working, unglitchy 4.2 cameras):
rally rom, has working 4.2 camera and other 4.2 gapps. This is a stripped down (432MBs) ROM, quick, and smooth.

SYNERGY ROM: this one also has both cameras and galleries, so you can pick and choose which one works the best for your situation:

Hi,
I have a zoostorm 3305 that I want to get an external 3g dongle working on. After googling I believe i need to root it first, but I'm new to rooting, and not sure what software/drivers i need and where to get them. I would love some help if you have any on offer.
Cheers
Andychat..
how good are these ?
speed in general
Speed of keyboard popping up when in chrome ?
viewing angles (I totally hate poor viewing angles)
updates
I am more than happy with the speed. Keyboard delay pop-up can sometimes be slow.(its usually when emails are being synced). I improved the touchscreen response by using an app to recalibrate it. I think its hindered by the supplied screen protector.
The only thing I can't do is mobile 3g internet. I think I need to root.
I'm. Awaiting I bit of help from the guru's on this forum.

I did have the Gemini JoyTab 9.7 Duo
I RMA'd it cause as soon as you tilted it slightly right the whole right side washed out
it was so bad that even flat direct ahead you could see the start of the right side polarize wash out with what must be only a few degrees off centre
fine all 3 others ways, I though mine my have been faulty till I went in to a staples and checked their display model, exact same issue.

I sent you a PM via YouTube (Sorry), couldn't post on here for some reason but sorted now.
I have never rooted Android (very new to it) and can't find anything solid about rooting Zoostorm Playtab 10" Tablet. I really don't want to brick it.
I was wondering if you may be able to help me as it sounds like you have rooted the Playtab successfully?
Do you have any links to or name of the guide / firmware you used for the root?
Has the root improved the overall performance of you Zoostorm Playtab as mine can often freeze or delay mid use with the stock firmware?
Cheers mate.

I'm new to Tablets so not sure how useful this can be because i havn't used many others but...
speed in general is quite good however it seemed to run faster when it was new and "fresh" but now having since installed more apps, it seems to temporarily freeze mid-use e.g. going through settings tabs, launching apps etc. I often get a "not responding" message and choice to wait or quit. Waiting seems to work but as this is happening more and more, it's a concern and hence why i'm looking to root.
There is sometimes a 1 or 2 sec delay with keyboard popping up (not sure in Chrome, i'm talking general use). Its not a problem for me.
Viewing angles are reasonable to me but you can see it wash out when looking from the sides but I tend to look at it straight on anyway.
To be honest you get what you pay for (currently £114-£120 on Amazon UK / eBuyer) and it's not bad at all, especially if I can figure this freeze issue.
Hope this helps.

Not sure if you sorted it but these tablets are pretty unbrickable as are most RK3066 based tablets, I've done more wipes & reflashes on this tablet than I care to remember.
You can try to flash the original ROM from here - http://downloads.zoostorm.com/drivers/android/PlayTab/
I did manage to flash a build of CyanogenMod 10 based on another RK3066 tablet on this tablet but it wasn't really what you would call stable, it had screen rotation bugs, random reboots plus Wifi wasn't working at all & as I'm not a developer I soon reverted back to stock, for the most part the tablet runs pretty well with it's stock ROM, 3G works well with the PPP Widget app etc.
It was either this one - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/39750-romgenerickmod-jb41cwmzip-for-pipo-u1max-m11/

I'm really digging mine too. Most times when opening Dolphin browser or other browsers it will hang for 5-8 secs sometimes. You guys get that? only think that pees me off really.
If we could get it a tad snappier, would be great too!
How do I get flash on this thing?
I've also got the freezing issue occasionally, not sure what causes that.
My main issue at the moment is I can't use "OpenVPN for Android". It claims it can't access /dev/tun so it doesn't work (ticking the box to fix this in CM doesn't work as it's not rooted). Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Freezing is caused by software trying to access root imho. Avoid software that needs root access.
I recently ran into a thread here:
reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1tilcf/any_word_on_screen_capturerecording_apps_or_any
and unfortunately for me, I'm running 4.3 and adb shell didn't seem to recognize screenrecord command. I check the Play Store and all the apps seem to be useless since 4.1 (some updated only to 4.2 maybe) and newer phones since Galaxy S3, Note 2, etc.
So I was wondering if there is any news. Cheers!

Hello there, regarding to your question, there really isnt a "good" capture or recording app for android yet. Most on the google play store are poor and scams. I suggest you do more research. There maybe one.

So you don't know if anyone's developing a decent recording software? I just tried a bit of SCR screen recorder but after one recording, my phone just crashes and it seems that I'm not alone in this looking at the reviews of screen recording apps. I didn't have such a problem when I was using 4.0... What changed?

Probably your phone crashed because of overload or poor ram management (screen recorders use a lot of ram) BTW what do you exactly mean by your phone crashed, did the application crash or the entire phone?

The entire phone, but my phone has problems. I've had a history of bad flashes (GS3 currently running Slim Bean with Cyanogen kernel). However, I've tried with Nexus 7 2013 as well and it's not working too pretty on that either (stock). As mentioned previously, if you look at the reviews in the screen recording apps, they will complain about the apps not working too well on 4.3 and 4.4. Slim Bean is 4.3 at the moment and I just can't wait to use 4.4's ADB screen capture. That would really solve a lot of things and really, no need for apps.

Maybe if your phone still has problems, you may want to flash the stock rom and start from there. (Often, the stock rom is the stablest) One more thing, is recording on your phone very important to you?

I recently ran into a thread here:
reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1tilcf/any_word_on_screen_capturerecording_apps_or_any
and unfortunately for me, I'm running 4.3 and adb shell didn't seem to recognize screenrecord command. I check the Play Store and all the apps seem to be useless since 4.1 (some updated only to 4.2 maybe) and newer phones since Galaxy S3, Note 2, etc.
So I was wondering if there is any news. Cheers!

I'm not sure if it works on 4.3, so my suggestion might be entirely useless, but a friend of mine uses SCR Screen Recorder for his tutorials. The device we use runs 4.1.2, so like you said, it might not work. Figured I'd throw my .02 in.

I just gave up on custom ROMs and decided to just stick with the stock ROM instead. I'm just going to get rid of the TouchWiz UI. Neither Hyperdrive nor GPE 5.0 worked unfortunately. The GPE ended up with boot loops. Hyperdrive booted, but wifi + phone radio didn't work.
Recording on my phone is okay now, but I'm still looking for a good method for future reference. Well, recording was for my Galaxy S3 and I was trying to make S3 tutorials so it's far too late now. My problem with the ROM is S4, which is also somewhat dated, so recording isn't really necessary for it either. Thanks for asking.

lost root
I flashed the rom last night but had to go back to cm11 backup due to having lost root completely. Any idea?
Hadn't read about anyone having that issue this is the first time I encountered this issue any assistance would help.
Same here, I lost root also when I flashed this rom.

Try downloading SU from play store
You did not lose root. Go into developer settings>Root Access. Select Apps and ADB. You have root
Oh nice. Didn't realize. Had slim on an much older Samsung and didn't have to do that I will give it a try tonight. Thank you very much!

Bugs for Slimcat
I would just like to submit some bugs ive found from my first day of using Slimkat:
-NFC is broken, Google Wallet crashes and the NFC setting doesnt do anything in the Settings
-Google Chrome wont sync data
So far so good otherwise, Thank you so much for your development! This has made my switch to android from jailbroken ios that much better
Google wallet worked fine for me ... Ingot a green screen with a menu while playing CSR...... Had to go back to a backup

Google wallet crashing for me, as well. I also noticed that I have to reboot the phone, while it's charging, in order for charging to work. If I reboot while it's unplugged, afterwards, the phone won't charge. Finally, I've seen that any custom sounds I set are wiped out after a reboot. Thanks for all the great work.

Same, google wallet crashes on each startup.
Google Wallet
Just a heads up, i found a fix to Google Wallet. If you uninstall the updates, the app works fine and NFC works. Theres an issue with new versions
Slimkat rom for att d850
Hello developer I would like to address some issues with this rom which I love since lg g2 first the sound in Google play does not work even though I installed the last build you upload.. In Pandora the sound is really low. I would say half of the sound of the stock rom which is pretty loud and nice.. I checked the Bluetooth with my hbs-900 and yes it does not work... The last thing I would like to address or maybe ask is why when we do recent there is no a button to clear all apps at once... Thank
Camera Options
Love the ROM so far. Haven't had any issues (wish the Knock Code was present) but I haven't tried bluetooth yet - I do use it quite a bit so I hope it works.
Regards to the camera though... is there a way to get the LG G3 camera app? I'm not a fan of the Google Camera (or w.e is installed); it doesn't seem to focus as quickly and I am not sure if it has the same functions that I am used to.
Any info. or tips on this would work. I don't necessarily NEED to bail on this app but I would prefer something that really utilizes the camera to it;s fullest potential.
Otherwise, thank you for your great work!

Great Rom
I ran this for a few days before I jumped over the CM. Its a great ROM and is smooth. Keep up the good work.
Battery Life and LTE
Anyone else having issues with their battery life? I'm running ART but noticed my battery drained way quicker than usual (I was at about 12% by the end of work) when normally I'm at +60%.
Also, I noticed that in a few calls my signal would drop to H+ instead of LTE. I only noticed this in the same area where I made a couple of calls but I would assume this would be related to my battery issue if not.
Last thing I noticed: I would have to turn on the screen after the call (via back-button) to hang up - as in the screen would not automatically turn back on when I removed it from my ear. Only happened a couple of times but was frustrating.
Love the build and thank you for your work.
That always happens. Stock ROM too

Bluebooth
I am so glad Liquid Smooth has a LP ROM for the D850! I have tried a couple of other LP ROMs and Bluetooth always seems to be broken. I was wondering if anyone can confirm that Bluetooth is working, specifically with Android Wear. If no one has tested it I might flash this later today and test it.
Update - installed ROM and it looks like Bluetooth is a no go right now!
Update 2 - Uninstalled Android Wear and reset the GWatch and now they are syncing. Seems to have been an issue with Android Wear, seeing both the phone and GWatch would pair with other devices.

No need to apologize....im just frustrated because i have no idea why its caused or how to prevent it. Especially sine i love lollipop so much and the signals the only thing from making the switch permanently...thats all.

Np, doesn't bother me
If I was a user I would want to know why and as a dev I gave a straight answer
For right now I'm having to use terminal emulator to connect to data on boot "su" "killall rild"
This is sort of strange... Both on this ROM and CM I occasionally see a star on my status bar just to the left of the WiFi signal indicator. Anyone know what that is?

Between reboots yes, I've seen testers rarely drop a call
Call drops haven't happened to me yet but its been reported, I personally talk on the phone usually a few hours a week

I think star means you silenced notifications, Google lollipop star
Or something similar since its a lollipop thing
did anyone else have trouble with getting data to work? I wish I could test this rom some more but I kinda jumped the gun on this one considering I should be studying

This basically
Phone Call voice drops..
Anyone have a solution for this yet. About 15-30 Seconds into the call the call drops both parties voices and you can not here each other..... Thanks for any help. Also looked in Q&A no mention.
skype on LS v4.0
Anyone having trouble with Skype calling.. it drops after a few mins and when receiving a call it only rings once.. Is it skype or is it lollipop or the Rom?
But besides that its running awesome.. going to use it as my DD..
Great Job.. can't wait to see the tweaks you guys add to the Rom..
I changed the dpi rebooted and all was fine. I rebooted again and bootlooped. FWIW, had this problem with early builds of CM, but that was fixed a few updates ago.

Thank you, I'll test this rom at more when I'm done with finals
So by all means flame away if that's what gets you to sleep at night..
I just want to share my issues
I'm still a user.. not lookin' to switch.. just sharin' the problems I have
A lot of times when I'm on a call & the screen shuts off.. I have to press power to get it to come back on.. even double tap doesn't work
I've tried disabling "Prevent Accidental Wake" & that hasn't seemed to solve it
I see the settings option about disabling Immersive Mode Messages.. buuut no option to enable Immersive Mode
No custom Power Menu Granted that may not be a feature anyway..
I noticed in the OP System App Remover was mentioned.. I'm not finding that.. :-/
If I had to guess I would say the double tap to wake / sleep working reliably is a stock rom thing.. currently in the works for AOSP roms yeah ? Double to wake works pretty consistently.. buuut the Double to sleep only works as the CM status bar tap setting rather than anywhere
What else what else..
Oh so I've got Skype installed.. & every time I try to make a call despite hitting Always.. I'm still asked if I want to use Phone or Skype
I'm not *****in'.. I'm not upset.. this is a forum.. forums exist for the purpose of discussion.. so I am sharing my experience & grievances using this as a daily driver..
Oh oh oh uhh.. also.. I can't seem to get the phone into silent mode now.. only vibrate for the quietest
