CM13 camera - memory issues - Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have a memory (as for RAM) problem with the CM Snap camera.
Every time I run and exit camera, almost every app gets killed, including launcher re-drawal.
Moreover, I'm working on a QrCode scanning app based on zxing, which after the scan should pass result to the app, but the camera uses enough memory to kill the app itself.
The problem doesn't occur on other devices, which all of them run stock OS. Tested on 4.2, 4.4, 5.0 and 6.0, so it's not zxing specific issue.

Yeah I am facing the same issue. And not just CM camera, even Google camera and Moto camera kill all apps in the background for me. I tried using different kernels but that didn't help.
But again I don't really use the camera all that often. I open it like once or twice daily. So it's not that big deal for me. Though I would love to find a solution for this too.

@adityak1303, well, I rarely use the camera, but it is pain in the ass when it comes to debugging the app
Are you on CM13, or already on 14?
Nvm -- forgot that the thread title was about CM13

Yeah, on CM13.
Actually I own 2 moto g devices. One is on CM13 snapshot as my daily driver and other on Lineage OS.

Does this issue occur in Lineage OS?

Is there any good modern ROMs you guys would recommend?

Running Viper ROM and it's only on Android 4.2.2. A lot of apps I can't use because it's not supported, and now the latest Google Play Services has totally broken my phone
Any good ROMs to recommend running a newer version of Android? I need good GPS as I use my phone for navigation a lot
Update to this post: Running jrior's CM 12 from original android dev forum... working pretty well. Performance is a lot faster than Viper 4.2.2 actually. Some apps don't work well at all though, haven't figured out exactly why. Occasionally camera doesn't connect and just shows black too, fixed by a restart. Overall, not bad and gives me the ability to use modern apps on my phone again.

How did you get to stabilize it. For me the rom is restarting every few minutes. Sometimes it restarts when I try to install any apk(either from play store or side load).

innfinte4evr AEX5 Oreo ROM for Moto X Play

Hi, not sure why there is no dedicated thread for this fine ROM, but for whoever wants to try here is some info:
ROM can be downloaded from the developer, innfinte4evr, AFH here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=202478
Gapps that seem to work:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620755279
Installation is rather straight forward:
1. nandroid backup of current rom
2. wipe system/data/cache/dalvik
3. flash ROM
4. ******Reboot to recovery before flashing Gapps******
(otherwise you'll get bootloop...)
5. flash gapps
6. optional: flash magisk14.2, and any other stuff such as pixel launcher etc.
7. reboot
ROM is in early stage, maybe stuff as NFC is not working, but I have been using it daily and it works fluid, no random reboots, no freeze of death and so on
Customization is only partial (not so rich as in AEX4.6/Nougat) but some things are there. Substratum seems to work (tried only with one theme from xda labs)
As a whole, seems to work fine. Battery consumption feels the same as with nougat ROM.
External sdcard I could not change to work as internal, but I decided it is actually better as is.
Finally, not sure why the dev- who is making a great job- is not opening an official thread, but it looks like he is updating this ROM quite frequently, and as far as I know is the only Oreo ROM thst is passable for daily use, for most users..
Thank you?
which oreo rom i must download with working camera app and sim ?

Ohhh, but here VoLTE, Camera, Flashlight everything is working fine, even open gapps pico support without bootloop.
It's stable enough for daily driver
So... can we use it as a daily driver if we want? Moto X Play is the only driver I have but I'd like to beta test if the bugs/drains aren't excessive...
both cameras are working? GPS? are there any drains (always talking about excessive ones)?

I use GPS every day, works good.
Front Camera works- never bothered to check video, neither the front "selfie" camera.
Battery drain during idle (deep sleep) is minimal- but it depends much on which apps you've installed, and how much you move the device (breaks doze) etc.
SOT also depends much on you, gaming, screen brightness etc.
no volte in my country, can't comment on that.
But if you have a nandroid ready, you can try. Worst case you revert to it..m

No problem for VoLTE, I can't use it neither.
Well so the last thing I need to know is if the "selfie" camera works? I make videocalls and I need it

Both cameras work for photos, but if I try video recording it cannot stop (the stop recording button is not responsive). Didn't try some.other camera app (just the one bundled in gapps), though.

maybe you can try with Footej Camera, it's some of a guaranty
Volte works but I wouldn't recommend it if you have it as your primary number as 1) it breaks frequently 2)there is no notification so you wouldn't know whether it is working or not. ( i end up calling Jio 199 to check periodically).
Barring that sometimes when you are listening to music and get a call after ending the call your music will sound funny ( a toggle of the play/pause seems to solve this problem. ). Other than that it is pretty solid. Using it as a daily driver and I feel it is much smoother than the nougat roms.
It is an Alpha for a reason so you know TWRP Backup of your nougat system is mandatory. I was also wondering what would happen if i flashed the 7.1.1 stock modem but i don't want an expensive paperweight.
I'm using this rom and I can recommend this rom ( of course This is my first day with this rom)
Quick question: Is camera, both front and back, and gps working on this rom?

hey guys, is anyone having problems with WhatsApp on AeX 5.0?
Been using it for a couple of hours, the ROM works really smooth, and a tad bit better than the nougat ROMs. Can't comment about stability yet, will update after using for a few days. The lack of extensions is disappointing, but tbh, it's to be expected considering this is just an Alpha build. Still, would have loved to see the use of DUI here.

Beta or stable one?
Btw it force closes itself just after restore the backup (or doesn't try doing it neither). I tried uninstalling, reinstalling but nothing, it's unusable. I didn't test the stable one yet because I requested too many sms/calls and I have to wait 40mins before test it again...

I was using the stable one, seemed to be working fine. Maybe an issue with the restoring process?
Also, while I never faced an issue with WhatsApp, my Snapchat seems to crash a lot. Though just clearing it from the recents menu and starting it again seems to work as a temporary fix.

MIUI Global 10.3.3 RAM Management?

I'm not going to rant a lot here, but it's getting very annoying to the point I think I need to go here in the forum for a solution.
I'm using a 32/3GB Global version, on MIUI 10.3.3 Global with Android 9.
My phone's RAM management is utter dud it feels like a 500MB RAM phone. When I open an app, say a game, and then go home and open another app, goodbye game. Or Chrome and Music. Music plays in the background for some time but then just stops. Feels like it's thinking of Music as an unnecessary app and decided to close it. These issues did not happen with my last update before this.
My RAM usage usually hovers at 1.7/3GB.
TL;DR, Xiaomi probably trying to implement a RAM management system that is far too effective it's not efficient. Basically bye-bye multitasking. Is there anything I could do to change this?
Wonder why no one replied? Am I the only one with this problem?

I think the management of RAM on the stock is very bad, in fact Xiaomi had to adapt it for the S2 as it has a 32 bit rom on a 64 bit Soc. I advise you to unlock the bootloader, install the Twrp and flashi the Lineage 16, and that's better.
Yeah, this is an known bug. I suggest you unlock bootloader and install the latest MIUI by Xiaomi.eu (currently, we are in 10.3.4), cause this problem was solved in there.

Xiaomi eu ROM works fine in 3/32 ? Because i read some people with bugs in this version, no in 4/64.
The 10.3.4 was removed after hours from download site of ota Xiaomi (because lot of bug) and actually say that is beta when i try to install it manually.
So the only way is go to eu ROM. Really, lot of bug global stock version to version.
Well, today i updated to 10.3.5 global (official web site) and look solved.
Attached screenshot of a lot of apps opens and no closed, and battery intelligent of Google is enabled.
Before update, whiteout any app in task list 1.5 free, now 1.6 or 1.7 sometimes.
Additional changelog:
Camera, faster shot and video 1080 60fps
Mode digital bienestar mode.
Dark mode.
Boot faster and unlock first time faster.

I've been having the same problem. After I updated to Global Stable MIUI 10.3.3.0 (PEFMIXM) I started having these issues where background apps just won't stay running. Tabs on Chrome keep reloading if I switch between them.
Can you confirm if the above solution by @nix.sasl works? @jalovitrue

A tip more, if you have the launcher setting in 4x5 do notting but if you have in 5x5, back to 4x5 and look that the device allow more apps in background.

Hi, have you solved the problem? I suffer the same bugs in miui 11.
in miui 10 the phone worked perfectly for me.
I'm sorry for bad English.

System is lagging, poor performance

I have a problem with system lags and poor performance. On the past few months in every single release of MIUI (no differnece between china beta, global or xiaomi.eu) I have a really annoying problem with lags. Device is lagging in various situation. On the desktop switching page or pulling down notification shade, browsing via Chrome, switching apps, using Twitter or Slack. I try various things but none of them help me. I wiped my device and even on a fresh system without additional apps I have lags.
In any benchmark apps I have a normal, average results for my device.
Now I'm on MIUI 11 and the problem persists, but I read that 11 have a little issue with animation.
The problem disappears when I switch to another AOSP ROM like for example Pixel Experience. Then I have a buttery experience.
Have someone any idea what is the problem? I have two MIX3 and on both the user experience isn't good.
I can assure you that my model (perseus) on Global Stable rom (Pie/miui 10.3.3.3) is buttery smooth in every contest. Not sure about what causes lags on yours...how many free ram is avaible when you open recent apps?
I have usually ~2,5-3,5 GB of free RAM, it depends of how many apps I have actually in the background. But I think that isn't a RAM problem. Probably something with kernel configuration? I'm guessing right now, I have no idea, why device equipped in Snapdragon 845 can't be smooth during scrolling pages on desktop or during scrolling web pages in Chrome browser. When i'm on AOSP ROM everything is OK, so this device has enough power to be smooth in every actions.

Maybe during some OTAs or Rom changes something messed up, it looks like that. Because after a clean flash you're telling me that everything runs fine on Aosp. Did you try flashing MIUI 10.3.3.3 from scratch instead MIUI 11 Beta?
On every single release of MIUI I have problem. No difference between China global or xiaomi.eu. I've tried that version and the problem persists. Even if I install after wipe. Only on AOSP ROMs everything is smooth.

That's quite strange... Will research about that :/
Sounds like the OP has a rogue app doing some crypto mining for free.
Are you sure? I don't think so. I completely wiped my device some times. I've tried install MIUI with official tool via fastboot. I think it's not possible what you suggested.

What is the best ROM for nvidia shield k1 2020

I recently installed a Custom Rom and the truth is that it is giving me more problems than solutions.
I would like to know which is the best custom Rom to install it and that I can use the tablet 100%.
What do you recommend?
Preferably android marshmallow or higher
Which custom rom did you install?
Hi
At the moment i testing out following Roms:
Stock 5.4 (debloated by myself)
This is the latest Rom from Nvidia which has all of the oem apps and features this Tablet offers. But on the downside it has slowdowns and freezes. In my case i debloated the Rom by myself where i deleted apps and the systemapps like twitch,squid,fallout and ota or feedback for example. With this the device is barely useable with some slowdowns and freezes but way better than before.
LineageOS 14.1 by Saint2k
This is a stable,fast and secure Rom. Secure because it get almost every month a security update like on a new device and is the perfect Rom if you use it as a normal Tablet and play Games from the Playstore. On the downside Nvidia Games doesnt work and the Old Controller is just useable with the USB Cable + OTG Adapter. Also the Console Mode is buggy and some say it has a bad Batterydrain at idle what i cant comfirm yet.
AOSPExtended 5.8
This Rom is based on Android 8.1 with working Hardware Acceleration. But it has the same issues with Nvidia Games and the Controller and Consolemode. This is the more stable Version of the AOSPExtended Roms.
AOSPExtended 6.7
This Rom is based on Android 9 and the Nvidia Games App works but only when the App Signature is deaktivated with LuckyPatcher. For the GAPPS you also should use the OpenGapps Nano Pack instead of the older MindtheGapp. This is the less stable Version i also had 1-2 Restarts and 3DMarks had some Graphicissues. But apart from this it is a interesting ROM where i hope the Developer still is working on
One thing to the DRM Issues:
Every Rom also the Stock One is affected from this. Its because our Devices has Disconnected from the Widevine Service run by Google without a warning or a reason.
That means no Copyright Protected Medias like from Netflix are able to use atm.
I hope this was helpful for you and dont hesitate to ask if you have more questions.
i am also curious about this! looking for the best ROM for my k1

If you flash Magisks it has a few different modules that fix DRM so Netflix and other streaming apps work correctly. I just learned about them the other day when I was checking out some options in Magisks Manager.
As far as the best custom ROM goes I am going to have to go with ASOP 6.8. The reason being is it is the only ROM that will let my PS4 controller connect wirelessly. Also, it is the only ROM that screen casting is working for me on. However, it does not work when I use cast by swiping down on the screen and selecting it. I have to download a 3rd party app to get it to work. I found one the other day that worked perfect for allowing me to watch Cinema apk movies on my TV. I ended up factory resetting my tablet though and now I cannot remember what app it was.

Cool that means you be able to watch Netflix, Amazon, ... In Full HD ?
Because i also tried out the liboemcrypto disabler on my rootet oem tablet and i was able to start at least the netflix app but it wasn't going above 540p i would say because the Widevine CDM Securitylevel is now L3 before it was L1 with only Current HDCP Level stated as "Disconnected"
But i try out the second modul with DRM in name when the Tablet is done with charging

I tried the 5.8 aex 5.8 and it worked very well, until playing a google play game I realized that the tablet was locked and I closed the apps. Apart from that the screen mirroring does not work, it freezes the image.
Now I have installed the 14.1 , it works very well, the same game freezes, but it takes a lot longer. And this standby spends little battery, but on consumes that gives taste. And with this screen mirroring does not work with a smart tv, like stock.

For the GAPPS you also should use the OpenGapps Nano Pack instead of the older MindtheGapp. This is the less stable Version i also had 1-2 Restarts and 3DMarks had some Graphicissues. But apart from this it is a interesting ROM where i hope the Developer still is working on
One thing to the DRM Issues:
Every Rom also the Stock One is affected from this. Its because our Devices has Disconnected from the Widevine Service run by Google without a warning or a reason.
That means no Copyright Protected Medias like from Netflix are able to use atm.
I hope this was helpful for you and dont hesitate to ask if you have more questions.

What I'm looking for in a rom for my tablet is: to be able to play google play games, something demanding (like when I buy it), also be able to use screen mirroring to watch videos and movies on smart tv. And if it's possible for the battery to last.

Hi
In your case i would give the Unofficial LineageOS4.1 from Saint2k a try. Its fast, reliable, and secure because of the almost monthly security updates. Also Games from the PlayStore shouldn't be a problem. I also have a mirroring option which gave me no issues so far.

I currently have the 14.1 that you tell me installed. But screen mirroring doesn't work for me.
And demanding games, it slows down a bit or even after playing for a while, it closes my game.

Ok i tried the screen mirroring again and you are right it also crashes for me when i start it direct with the button from the dropdown menu. When i use it to cast the youtube app it works fine for me and thats the only thing i use it for atm so thats the reason i didnt notice it.
About the demanding Games i play occasionaly COD Mobile with the Tablet. Its really slow at starting because most of the time the game does updates and loads a lot of annoying ads
It just needs a bit of patience but when you actually in the match itself it runs just fine and it doesnt crash a lot for me.

for example, he played clash royale and the application closed 2 times.
Then the other day playing the game of the 7 deadly sins, it closed after 5 minutes of playing.

I recently upgraded from a 2 year old 14.1, to the latest. I found on the androidfilehost for the-saint2k sometimes had the latest on the right side, under recent files. I checked now and its updated to the latest
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=297059
I found the kernel from BitObession
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sh.../tweaked-kernel-nvidia-shield-tablet-t3069776
K12-002 works fine and fixed my battery drain during sleep
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=282989
I dont use screen mirroring, but i do use HDMI out for use at school and that works fine. Nvidia console is still included in this builds, and I'm glad its standard.
Now I've noticed Kernel Aduitor is no longer available in the appstore, and is over 2 years old. Is there a better kernel auditor app for changing the governors? My tablet is a e-book reader currently, I could happily downclock it to get more out of the battery.
I hope you find your solution. I wouldnt expect too much more development for this (in before lineageos16.0 becomes the bees knees for this device).

Ok sounds for me the Games running out of memory and the ROM cant handle it. You could try to change the Low Memory Killer Settings. For this you need Root Access and with the Kernel Manager App from the PlayStore you can easily change those Settings it even have some Presets as shown on the Screenshots.
It also have Settings like KMS which reduce the Memory Usage too and you can set the Read Ahead Buffer Size.
I think it may need some tinkering with those settings to find the perfect ones.

I agree with Scavenger87, I've also tested Saint2k 14.1 & 15.1, AEX 5.8 & 6.7. By far the most usable is Saint2k 14.1 the second time I've loaded it up (so far).
AEX 5.8 has outstanding deep sleep battery life but the random reboots to the OS or TWRP in the middle of doing something eventually had me loading up Saint2k 14.1, which was stable but ate battery at idle despite running the BitOb K12-002 kernel.
So I tried Saint2k 15.1 but had a lot of problems launching apps and also RR, then wiped & flashed AEX 6.7 which seemed to have even more problems with app launching. Both were quite laggy compared to LOS14.1 and AEX5.8 when the apps finally started to run.
Today I reflashed Saint2k 14.1 with BitOb K12-002 kernel and so far the device feels like is should - clean and snappy. It just finished being fully charged so I'll get an idea of sleep battery consumption over the next few days.

I would like to make an installation as clean as possible of 14.1.
What do I have to clean when I reinstall the rom from twrp?
And if I have to do a separate installation to make it work better, when should I do it? Thank you
For a complete wipe down you should go to TWRP -> WIPE -> Advanced Wipe and Wipe Everything apart of the Micro SD card for obvious reasons
Then install the newest build of the 14.1 by The-Saint2k which you can found here : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682953905
The Filename says its from the 6 October 2020 which wasnt revealed by The-Saint2k in the Forum and i wasnt able to test it out myself but i never had any new Problems with his ROMs.
I dont get the second question what do you mean with seperate installation ?

Some zip file that improves performance, or the operation of the tablet or rom.
Ok i don't have any expirience with such improvement files but i guess as early as possible maybe like the gapps direct after the rom.
Which files are you mean ? And did you try to test the Games without those packs ?
I mean because you facing instability issues..

My installation was only of the rom and gapps.
But there are times that they recommend you install some more package from twrp to improve the functioning of the tablet. As for example the one from aex 5.8 there is one to use fast loading (or so I understood).
