[Completed] Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus Snapchat black camera crash? - XDA Assist

Hello XDA forum!
Now, I know and some of you guys might've realised that I have already made a thread about it here, but it got closed before I got a chance to reply (10 posts restriction, cheers XDA admins ).
So, I've decided to re-post it again, so I could give an update what else I've tried. Quoting from here.
Hello XDA forum.
So, recently I've decided to hop back into Snapchat (as changing schools meant new friends that used Snapchat as often as Facebook), but the problem starts when I try to log back into my old account.
Firstly, it could not log me in ("Can't log in" message), so after doing a basic Google search I've found that removing Xposed and then logging into Snapchat worked for people. Needless to say, I've done that(which took about 30+ minutes to optimize apps post uninstall and reinstall), but after opening the app, all I've saw is a GUI of Snapchat(aka the buttons), camera screen was black, and after a second, the app force closed without notification(aka without "Unfortunately, XYZ has stopped" prompt or that sort of thing).
Here's the specs of device:
Device: Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus(GT-I9105P), s2vep
ROM: Unofficial CM 12.1 20160115 build, the one I've got redirected from CM wiki to
Xposed build: v80 SDK v22 build
Here's what I've tried so far:
-Reinstalling the app over 9000 times;
-Clearing the app's data/cache;
-Method mentioned in the story above;
-Bashing my head into a wall until it started to hurt;
-Praying Snapchat devs to stop using "no go for root" policy;
-Creating a new account without Xposed.
Any help on this regard would be really appreciated. I'm totally desperate on options and Casper is NOT a good alternative to me, I want the original app.
Thank you.

Also, Vatsal replied to use Xposed Uninstaller zip to flash it. And yes, I've tried that method, without any luck though. Even if I uninstalled Xposed and then installed Snapchat, it would still show the black cam crash. Installing Xposed back and adding Snapprefs made no difference whatsoever.
What I've also noticed that in login screen, the front camera worked flawlessly, which is weird and doesn't make any sense.
More help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Sincerely,
MrRubikon.

Hello,
In the thread linked above, I didn't mean to uninstall Xposed apk. I meant to flash the uninstaller zip with a custom recovery.
If you still have this issue, you may post your query here Ask any Q Noobfriendly with all relevant details, the experts there maybe able to assist you.

Yes, Vatsal that's what i meant after all - using custom recovery to flash xposed uninstaller(god for bid, no need to uninstall apk). Neverthless, method was fruitless.
But thanks for pointing out into another thread, i'll take a look into it.
Thanks.

[Q] Android M and Xposed.

I have the preview build that I put on using the .zip, I then rooted the phone. But there are things I want to change of course. So I was wondering does Xposed work on M? If so what do I need to do to get it on there?
Dude.. Xposed isn't even working 100% on lollipop. Either help the project or be patient and wait like most of us around here.
Goddamn spoonfeeding has to stop, opening a thread for this wasn't necessary, since there is a general thread for Xposed right here on XDA. You would have found your answer there.

Little bit harsh, but I have to agree.
Android M is TOO early to be worked on, it's just a preview. Once again, I want to put my point that this release SHOULD NOT be a daily driver.
Xposed, in other hand is still in a beta / alpha state. You do not want to expect it to work on M while on Lollipop it barely works (I mean, Xposed developers are using temporary fixes to work around some issues)
Please, in all regards, be patient ! I'm sure it won't be long until M becomes a fully mature system images and we can all develop for it.
Let's try not to get too worked up about things guys. There is little information about M on the Xposed thread, and the user would, sadly, had he written such a question there, be attacked by angry members writing "Don't ask for ETAs!"
The truth is that while there hasn't been any work to port Xposed to M, the zip from 5.1.1 COULD work. So far, no one's tried it. There haven't been any changes that could totally prevent Xposed from working. That being said, due to Xposed's hack-filled nature, there is little to no chance of the phone even booting after the zip is installed, let alone after modules are installed.
Im actually shocked there hasnt been a few mods made for m yet. I mean we have custom kernels. Id agree xposed wont happen for awhile but a few simple mods would be appreciated.
You can try long press on the settings icon in the notifications area (it is an hiden option like developer hiden option) so you will have some options to modify the ui.
Cleaned the thread. Let's not be rude to each other.
It's fine if you want to talk about Xposed, M and the N5 but keep it constructive.
Please keep in mind that Marshmallow isn't even officially released and Xposed (though very functional) is still in development and even alpha on 5.1.1 so constructive discussion would actually be limited.
Let's not just speculate about it.
Thanks!

[Completed] MIUI Music Not Installing

Hi! So I'm using a Samsung galaxy a3 running android 5.0.2 non rooted. I was trying to install the apps MIUI music anf Amazon underground. Whenever I tried to install Amazon underground, I got the message "app not installed" with only the option *done" after about 5 seconds, and the same with MIUI music. So I uninstalled a few apps that I thought may be using the problem, and I was able to install Amazon, and reinstall them after. But when it came to MIUI music, it still wouldn't work. I've heard of a problem on lollipop not allowing 2 apps with the same permissions to exist on your device, so could this be it? I do have other music apps such as Spotify, deezer(both patched versions) and TinyTunes. I would greatly appreciate any help here.

As already pointed out in response to your previous posts in the XDA Assist area, the best approach is for you to ask your question with all relevant details in the Samsung Galaxy Alpha Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-alpha/help. That's a good place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you. XDA Assist cannot provide direct technical support, and other members cannot reply to your post on here, sorry. Please be patient and give the experts in the Q&A thread plenty of time to respond.
Good luck!

Strange "zygote" process root permissions request

Hello guys,
Yesterday this strange and unknown process "zygote" started asking me root permissions. Obviously I have not given them to it but I'm worried about because googling it I read that it could be linked with Triada malware, that exploits Zygote, this fundamental part of Android.
Anyone knows what the hell is it? Thank you.

A real zygote will never ask for root, as it has it anyway. You got yourself a virus...

I found the problem, it was WhatsApp Extension, a Xposed module. Just deactivated and removed it.

Gamekiller also has that
Just happened here: "zygote" requesting for root permissions. Have Xposed installed and barely one single module running (Xtoast) as of now. I've been using Xposed in several devices, ranging from GB to MM and I can't remember zygote asking for root permissions before. This one (Acer S57) is KK 4.4.4, though it's not pure Android and I must say that I actually have a red warning from Xposed installer (attachment), so yes, I've installed under my own "risk". After some research on the subject, I've found some people suggest it could be either a SuperSu (v2.82) bug, or some sort of malware... After checking via Apps2SD emulator (attachment) there's only one zygote process, so I'm almost concluding that most likely, this has everything to do with Xposed being installed on Acer's custom ROM. Whatever; meanwhile I decided to follow suggestions about not granting permissions to zygote since as a "general rule", this is not supposed to happen. I'll keep an eye on this and place this question on the proper Xposed thread, because I'm pretty sure this ain't no malware but something related to Xposed...

I am fairly certain that no app will ask your root permissions. That's just ridiculous and also keep in mind, that applications are developed for locked phones, which means they naturally won't have access to root. There is no reason for them to be asking root permissions.
I also had this zygote pop-up in 2 of my devices and it appeared in both devices after i Installed hebf optimiser..can anyone confirm if it's a virus? I gave it root access to see what it does
warez, piracy, or enabling of them will not be discussed on XDA.
Many of us make our living off software, no matter your beliefs on it, piracy takes from our tables. Earning a living at 99cents at a time is HARD.
Don't be a thief, pay for the work that others do for you.
Came here for answers,i have the same question. This process just popped up, haven't installed anything recently but Google maps did an update so that might be a clue.

I considered appropriate to share "WhatsApp Extensions" developer quote to rovo89's answer on this matter:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...pp-extensions-add-extra-t3452784/post73993216
BTW, a few minutes earlier, I just denied zygote root permission request, this time on Moto G4 Plus... and I DON'T have "WhatsApp Extensions", but a nice amount of other Xposed modules installed. Must watch which one fails to do it's job, I guess... or just do what @rovo89 says.

Heyho,
just came across this thread and read about a similar issue earlier. So, just to leave another hint why zygote is maybe asking for root permissions.
Here is a nice explained article

I got the last LineageOS for MicroG build from here.

Persist img messed up

I've got a bit of a problem. After installing a rom and deciding to go back to stock, I've run into the issue that I cannot for the life of god get my fingerprint registered. My phone says it fails to register, and I've factory reset it every way possible. I'm pretty positive that it's something to do with the persist img, but when I used the solution the one guy posted for it, it of course didn't work. Why doesn't the msm tool fix it? Doesn't it reset everything? What should I do?

Hello @Qualex11 and I'd like to also welcome you to XDA. I hope you like your visits and stays on this website and that you always receive valuable support in case of any problems.
First, please be aware that we don't delete threads after XDA has been indexed by search engines as this would provide HTTP 404 errors and in turn a poor user experience. We rather close a thread on request of a thread owner like you!
However, in this case I like the thread to remain open unless you definitely want to have it closed but with a serious request to you. XDA is about sharing - not only development but also knowledge and experiences. How about if you share here what you did that solved your issue? I'm convinced there're other XDA members around who have either already experienced the same problem and are eagerly waited for a solution or there're might be others who will be very happy in future if they directly find a fix for their issue.
I honestly invite you to present your solution here - and we're all be very grateful! If you don't want just feel free to shoot me a PM or to report via the report function, and your thread will be closed.
Stay safe and stay healthy!
Regards

I actually fixed the problem with a tutorial about it on youtube. I had just messed up a step previously, but I repeated it and it worked. Just do a quick search "oneplus 8 persist fix" on youtube, and it should be the first one
