[NOUGAT][CAMERA] Camera location tags not saved - I need quick feedback only [SOLVED] - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi,
I'm on stock debloated Nougat ROM and I'm facing this simple problem: samsung camera app (v6.5.50) does not save geo-location tags into photo. If I use another camera app like Open Camera geo-location data are saved correctly. Obviously all location settings are enabled in system and app.
I would like to know if this issue is present in the stock ROM (not debloated) with stock camera app too, otherwise it is a problem of my debloated ROM and I will try to fix it by myself.
If someone could give me this simple feedback I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks!

Solved! I restore /system/app/SLocation app removed by debloater script and now location tags works again!

[Q] default app not in app list, how do i clear it?

hi, wonder if anyone can help, i hope i dont have to wipe and flash again.
I recently flashed Wicked rom v7 on SSGS4 (SGH-M919), and when flashing I chose to include the google camera app.
I am also using the AOSP lock screen so when I swipe left from the lock screen it goes straight to camera. I was trying different camera apps and setting the default camera that launches from the lock screen, and for all the other cameras I was able to go to app manager and clear the defaults. However, the google camera does not show up in my app manager, so after I set it to the default camera I cannot clear that default, now I am stuck with the google camera as my default.
I tried downloading that app "Default app manager" but it also does not see the google camera app. Tried turning off the AOSP lock screen (from the wicked rom manager) and turning back on, and the google camera is still set as default. also tried searching forums and google but cannot seem to find anything.
Any idea where this default setting is actually stored, like is there a file somewhere either in the app folder or a system folder that stores this setting, that I am able to manually clear?
thanks
OK after much messing around I figured it out, the Camera app is called photosphere.apk because they named it after its new feature. can't figure out how to delete this thread so I'll just post the answer.
using Root Browser for android, I had to go into /system/app, and make a backup copy and then delete Photosphere.apk - that is the app that contains the 4.3 Camera and gallery (and its icon is the gallery icon). then restart the phone, set a new default camera app, then copy photosphere.apk back into the /system/app folder and restart.

[Q] Moto G Assist, Camera & Gallery for AOSP/CM

Hey guys,
I searched the web and haven't found much. What's really keeping me from going to a custom rom - be it GPE/AOSP (like Paranoid Android) or CM-Based - are those 3 features (Moto Assist, Camera, Gallery - even Radio FM). Sadly I only found negative evidence.
Are there any apks of those apps out there that work 100% on AOSP/CM-based roms? Or alternatives that have the same simplicity of design and functions?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Alternatives :
1. Assist - Quiet hours in various roms or profiles option.
2. Camera - In my opinion, the AOSP camera is much better than the stock camera application. The only thing missing is slow motion recording.
3. Gallery - There are many gallery applications available on the play store.
4. FM Radio - All of the roms I have flashed till now had a FM Radio app. And it also allows you to play the audio via the external speaker.

Thanks for answering mate, much appreciated.
1. Main feature I use from Assist is that the phone goes quiet during an calendar appointment and auto replies to favorite calls (family). Can't find a similar app that just does that and/or doesn't have a bulky, ugly interface.
2. agreed, but Google Camera doesn't support panorama nor slow motion + HDR on the Moto G
3. tried a few. Again I like the simple, unbulky Moto Gallery with sidebar and autohide status bar feature.
Did no one ever try to port those 3 apps? :/ I can't be the only one wondering/asking this.

1. No that feature is not there in AOSP ROMs.
2. I'm taking about the AOSP camera and not the Google camera. In the AOSP camera we have panaroma and HDR. The only thing missing is the slow motion capture.
3. If you want simplicity then the AOSP gallery is good. The only thing not available is the sidebar.

I don't remember if it does the auto-SMS, but Llama (FOSS, on the Play Store) can certainly use the calendar plus a whole bunch of other conditions to silence the phone, change "profiles" (enabling things like different ringtones at home and work, or silencing/changing some notification with the LlamaTones ringtone selector) and generally trigger actions.

Exactly same situation here. I'm torn between staying stock and going CM but loosing these three apps.
Moto camera and gallery apps are absolutely the best around. AOSP gallery is outdated and downright ugly. Also, there is no gallery app that performs nearly as smooth as moto gallery.
It shouldn't be THAT hard to port these apks, right?

hello ,
nice work
just a question does the mute button work?
are you using the stock camera app of letv?
Nice work. How is the battery life compared to eui?

The mute button doesn't work and I think it will never, because nobody except of letv knows exactly how they implemented this and even if it would be quite hard to port because there is just no such button designated in pure android.
The rom uses a different camera app than stock, I don't even know from which device or rom it's ported but it supports most of the stuff the stock rom supports(or even more?). The stock camera app is not installable on aosp (yet).

My phone is running for 12h now and it still shows me 18h left. In my first impression I'd say it's better than eui but it's definetly at least as good.
Hey guys,
Unfortunately I found a bug. Something is causing a "PhoneWindowManager.mBroadcastWakeLock" which completely prevents the phone from going into deep sleep .
EDIT:I found the reason. This bug happens if you use the volume rocker(VOL+/VOL-) but ONLY when the screen is turned off. I also have good news, I know which file I have to edit. It will take some time to get used to the java source code because it contains thousands of lines. A temporarily fix would be to only allow to adjust volume when the screen is on.
To avoid that it drains your battery so much, please regularly check WakeLockDetector. If you reboot the phone the wakelock is gone.
Same happens in the AOSP rom posted in the main LeTV thread - yet to install yours

I know, I was wondering about this wakelock before but I could not find the reason or if it is even related to the rom It also happens in the mdsteam rom for Note 2. I know how to fix it now but I don't have time anymore to compile and pack everything together. I think it's ready on Wednesday if everything goes well...
I like AOSP rom very much. It goes ok for me!
Congrats on the great development!
For me, slow-mo video and the "mute" switch were two important things when buying the phone, so I won't install your ROM right now.
I'm a bit confused by your original post - you talk about a stock camera app, but later you say it is not the original one by letv. So is it the original one with support for all the camera features or not? cheers
Any ideas for rooting?
Root is simply! You go into recovery. Then, you flash update-su.zip beta 2.49 over recovery.

Sorry for confusing but I meant stock aosp camera app not eui It does support all features of the eui app afaik, also Slo-Mo. I think i had the same one on my THL 5000...
It has following modes:

Slow Motion Video
Picture in Picture
Live Photo Mode
Panorama Mode
Multi-Angle View
Gerrit, how's the GPS on this ROM? The same as the spanish AOSP or EUI?
Different is a little! Camera goes well! I flashed this rom two days and i am pleasant with it!
Can anyone comment how is the wifi signal strenght?
Thank you guys for the praise
Version 1.0.3final is now ready. It fixes the wakelock bug and I've tested it over one day now and it seems to run pretty well, no more wakelocks at all, also no crashes. I decided to only make an ultralight Edition from now on, so everybody can combine the addons as he likes.
I will provide gps and wifi test shortly.

Great job!
Some notes:
/recovery-from-boot.p.bak - do we need it?
LED is white when charging, red is better
I wonder if IrDa port and remote control app work
tap on "Menu" shows APP_SWITCH instead MENU (/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl)
adb devices doesn't list the device even with USB debugging enabled. Actually, the same was in EUI, but I hoped it will work
can you extend the reboot menu?
PicoTts always is forced close! Phone numer of sms is divided into 2 parts, sent and received.

1. I don't think so, but is has only about 700kb, so I didn't really cared about it so far
2. Actually the LED is changing the color while loading regarding to the battery level
3. No it doesn't I will add this to the main post
4. I don't know what you exactly mean. Pressing the circle button shortly will enter the menu and long will enter recent apps. What I want to add is that a long press will enter the Google App. The generic file you posted is just about adding linux key codes to different names. The actual event which happens when you press a button usually is written down in java code.
5. I know. I also have trouble with adb and the letv. I think we have to blame mediatek.
6. Yes I will.

I fixed the picotts issue already, it will come in the next version
Regarding the sms app I can only repeat what I wrote in the other thread about he dialer app. I don't make these apps, they come from aosp/google, if there is something wrong blame them. The main idea behind my rom is to provide a most lightweight and pure android experience as possible. For example one guy uses nova, the other hola and some use apex. The same goes for sms or dialer. I don't want to load this rom full of unecessary stuff you'll never use, feel free to install what ever you like. I don't have this issue btw. The way how you saved your contacts(e.g. with or without country code) might be the problem. The Messenger is the most recent version from google -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging&hl=de

Xstrestolite odex - Geotag on stock camera not working

Hi - I installed Xstrestolite Odexed 2.0 version onto my GS6, but since then the stock camera app would not take the location information/Geotag of a photo taken regardless if the location option is on or off. Other camera apps such as Google Photo and Procapture, however, would.
Part of the ROM package includes the stock Samsung apps that can be selectively installed back. I'm assuming the location functionality is related to one of these stock apps. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction on how to resolve this?
Oh, I just noticed this too. It's too important of a feature to give up. Please come back here if you come up with a solution. I don't really want to touch the arom pack installer again since it easily screws up my s health app. I tried to restore a backup of the original camera app without success.

Question Alternative camera app?

I'm still on stock ROM, rooted. The default camera app is missing some features I used regularly on my old phone.
Are there any recommended alternatives? I have Open Camera installed and it seems to work fine and has more features. Any better apps?
Also, can anyone tell me how to change the default camera app for things like the lock screen camera launcher? I can't find a default setting for it.
