all you need to do, is get the permission XML for from face camera device rom (used the one from VIVO), and push it system, via recovery.
adb reboot recovery; adb shell mount -a; adb push android.hardware.camera.front.xml /system/etc/permissions/; adb shell fix_permissions; adb reboot
done
....
PROFIT
PS: this is NOT a flashable zip. but anyone wants to make one, be my guest
thanks to Kali- for the tips
Pushed the xml to the permisions folder with no problems. Ran fix_permissions and rebooted, doesn't appear to have done anything. I can verify that the xml is in the correct folder but google + just doesnt want to do hangouts.
Nexus One running CM7
Any ideas?
EDIT: I was wrong, I thought I would be able to start a hangout but once I found an existing one I was able to join no problem. THANKS!
Qestion
Will it happen if you copy the "android.hardware.camera.front.xml" in folder "/ system / etc / permissions /" by Root Explorer, and then restart the phone?

Yes, you'll either need to manually change the permissions in root explorer to match all the other files in there, or run fix permissions as per the guide

Thanks, I try it, but doesn't work
This is how I got mine to work
There were some permissions issues and my phone can't adb anymore for some reason (seems common with the Captivate), so I did the following from Terminal Emulator:
su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2
# chmod 777 /system
# cp /mnt/sdcard/Downloads/android.hardware.camera.front.xml /system/etc/permissions/.
# chmod 644 /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.camera.front.xml
[Restart into recovery mode]
[Advanced]
[Fix Permissions]
And it worked! You just can't create your own Hangouts from the phone. You can join others though using your back-facing camera!
Thanks OP!

Why does xda developers require we create user names? If there's anyone who knows this, please let me know as I'm curious.
I haven't created a non-email username since the days of AOL. Now I have to make a dumb-sounding faux name like "hotmama2385" all over again? I really wish I could use my e-mail address as my persona. If I can't, at least I'd like to know out of curiosity why the design decision was made to exclude that possibility. of course as a protection from spambots I'd want some of my e-mail address hidden behind a CAPTCHA.
I know some people are privacy focused and/or want to be able to troll anonymously. So why not allow a username which can take whatever form we chose - AOL-esque IDs or an e-mail address - as most login services allow?
As an aside, I have the same question for Twitter, which is the reason I haven't signed up for it. I pushed off signing up for XDA by a couple of years until I absolutely had to because of this, and rarely log in because I can't remember that stupid username. (I just started to a little more because of LastPass.)
Nice work... I'll try this one...
hello,
how to fix permission?
with a terminal
I'm not sure what command that is specifically from a terminal, but you can type adb reboot recovery and then fix permissions via menu option once in recovery.
yep, but the problem I haven t a recovery mode. I want to say no menu.
I have an HTC evo 4g with CM 7.2RC1.
I implemented this fix, and rebooted, but still, when trying to do a video call, it stays on "video initializing" and never seems to finish. I have the latest skype from market.
What to do?
just maybe
So I installed the sdk tools, and opened cmd, and then cd to where adb is. I then copy and pasted the entire string "adb reboot recovery; adb shell mount -a; adb push android.hardware.camera.front.xml /system/etc/permissions/; adb shell fix_permissions; adb reboot" and pasted that into cmd is that all I do. I tried dong just "adb reboot recover" and waiting till it entered recovery, but then I couldn't do anything. after I pasted the entire string, my phone rebooted, and took a sec then started back up normally it seemed. So I think I did it correctly.
Perfect!!! Thanks, works like a charm on my Nexus One
great on arc s for hangouts
It's working great on arc s to create hangouts, but it still does not enable video chat in google talk.
I really don't understand why front camera is a pre-requisite for it. I shall be able to see at least the other's video if he has a front cam, even if they don't see me. Any way to workaround this issue of googletalk? (either to trick it to use front cam or just to display an empty frame, but receive other end's video).
I tried the same to see if it would work for Talk on my Defy, but no success
I am trying to root a motorola i886. Its a really wierd nextel iDEN PTT phone that is running (i believe) android 2.0 or 2.1 but has no touchscreen...
Basically I have been able to get a root shell (#) from 'adb shell' by pushing some program called psneuter to the phone and running it. Once I had this I could install apps via adb ok, but it seems like whenever I try to run any apps that require root they error saying they do not have root access.
As far as I can tell pretty much every rooting guide for every other phone has you putting 'su' and sometimes 'busybox' into /system/bin and 'Superuser.apk' into /system/app. I did both of these but still got the same errors about apps not having root. I tried a few different versions of these files I found from different sites to no avail. Running su on a terminal emulator on the phone itself would get the error "operation not allowed" or something like that. Then I found some other guide where you just copy 'sh' to 'su' and chmod su to 4755. When I did that I could get to a # prompt on the phone's terminal emulator app by typing 'su' but still got root errors for apps that need root.
I though maybe someone here would know something that I missed. As far as I can tell, I have applied the correct permissions to all these files or have at least tried every combination I can think of to no avail (shouldn't chmod 777 just make everything work?)
Also, does the phone usually come with a stock version of busybox on it? Do you need a specific version of these files for your device or version of android?
When an app on the phone tries to get root access is it just basically trying to run 'su' internally or something like that?
Also forgot to mention I have tried all the one-click-root apps and they do not work for this stupid phone. (well the super one click one was how I figured out how to get the adb shell root but the regular root button doesn't work...)
I can't help with your specific questions, but there is some info about rooting the i1, another iDEN with Android. Although it looks like the i1 is actually Android, and not the Motorola-altered, not-really-Android, proprietary software that the i886 has.

Wow, I can't believe someone found this thread and replied after so long. Thanks, but in the meantime I actually figured out how to root it fully and get root apps to work. I think i just tried different su's and superuser.apk's that I found on the internet until one worked...
Now, if you have figured out how to change the nextel push-to-talk chirp/beep sounds then let me know how you did that. I actually found the .wav files for the PTT sounds in some .apk in /system (phone.apk I think?) but for some reason changing them had no effect on the sound the phone makes when using the push-to-talk feature...
Its been 10 years but do you still have the firmware for this device? I need to flash it, it doesnt finish booting up
I don't have a full ROM .zip file for this phone, only some update .zips. But the first link result for a google search for "motorola admiral stock rom" worked for me for downloading a file.
Wrong phone, sorry.
Sorry but i don't understand. Isn't the Motorola admiral a different device? Does that zip work for the i886? If so, how do I flash it, because the i886 doenst have a recovery mode.
Oh, oops sorry, I was confusing this phone with another one. I looked and I don't have and firmware files for this, sorry.
OK, thanks for replying
Hi,
i was trying to change the /system permissions using adb shell... commands shown in the attached screenshot
my main purpose was to install CWM for which we need to push modified recovery into /system/bin which requires rw permissions....
to do that i used the command chmod 6 /system from root and then tried to mv recovery file from sd root to /system/bin but that failed
when i checked the /system attributes using stat -c %A /system it returned "d------rw-"
after that i tried to mount the system from shell command but failed... then the phone got hanged and when i removed the USB cable it rebooted straight into recovery...
since the ive tried to check directory listing with adb ls /system command but it returns nothing... adb ls /data also shows only 3 files... i had taken a backup of /system using adb pull but i dont knw how much that'll help...
i did not take any backups before that... was trying to install CWM so that i could take rom backup....
im not able to boot the phone normally...
i would like to know if i can go back to original state?? if not is ther any other solution like flashing a new ROM or something...??
i would like to extract contacts nd messages if possible...
System config:
- Samsung Galaxy S 4G... everything stock
- Rooted!!
thanks in advance...

'chmod 6 /system' did what you asked it to do. chmod, on a basic level, uses three (3) sets of permissions: global, group, and user. What you effectively did was set the user permissions to rw but blanked out everything else (like chmod 006).
If you can get into the shell, do this:
chmod 755 /system
That should put it back the way it was (7 = rwx for global, 5=rx for group, 5=rx for user)
See if that helps. Report back and let me know.
Real quick; I had my permissions backward. Although you still want 755 it should've read like this:
rwx for user
rx for group
rx for global
I had them backward.

I was worried about something like that. My guess is that your best bet is to see if you can get into download mode and flash a new ROM. Were you on Froyo or GB before? If you were on Froyo & you're trying to get to GB you'll need to insure you flash a ROM with the right boot loaders first, like chadster's KG4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183413).
Let me know if I can be of help.
I was worried that I would have to flash a new ROM. Not that i mind doing it but ive not backed up anything!! I'd atleast like to see my contacts somewhere... let me know if that's possible...
So there's no other way to come out of this deadlock??
Im on Froyo... If its possible to roll back to stock Froyo it'll be great... If not i'll go for GB... Ive nothing against GB but i'd like to be sure everything works the way it was b4...
Its great to know you have and understanding of my problem... thanks mate...

If your contacts were set to sync with Google or your carrier, then they will sync back to your phone after you flash. Given you were on Froyo, you can grab one of the Froyo ROMs from the bible (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554). Those will likely be rooted, deodexed, or something along those lines. If you want pure stock, you can grab that from samfirmware.com. You'll have to register to navigate to the firmware, though. I'd post a link but it wouldn't work right. Just go to the 'mobile' link and look for the SGH-T959V stuff. Either way, KD1 was the latest Froyo out there from Samsung.
Yup... I'll check on samfirmware.com..
sad abt contacts cuz dint sync the latest ones with google...
anyway i'll try the other method...
thanks..
Sorry man. Best of luck to you. Let me know if you get it fixed.
hi stephen_w,
I downloaded the T959VUVKD1 firmware from samfirmware.com....
I used odin to flash it...
after switchin on the phone in download mode... i flashed the firmware by browsing the file in PDA and leaving PIT, BOOTLOADER, Phone and CSC blank...
the process started and after cache.fs... below it was message:Complete(Write) operation failed.... it stopped nd showed fail in red...
i held the power key for a long time but then it started to show a phone linked to the computer with a yellow exclamation sign...
what does this mean?? im not able to boot into either recovery or download mode now...
please help...
ODIN will still see it when it looks that way, so don't fret! I had similar issues before but mine was a faulty download. Try using this one. It's not 100% stock as it's been deodexed, but it should work:
http://www.multiupload.com/7L5YDG8X8V
Ya im downloading tat one... Odin is detecting nd working... so i guess re-flashing should do the trick...
Jus to confirm I should leave fields other than PDA blank rite?
Yes, PDA only & let ODIN decide what should be checked.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Up and running jus like b4...
Thanks bro...
No worries; glad you're working again!
I've recently started having problems after changing ROMs a couple of times.
I tried installing a new Rom (CM12.1) but it is still happening and I've installed a new GAPPS each time too so I guess the problem runs deeper than that.
The ROM runs fine for a bit but then all of a sudden I get a force close which constantly keeps coming up no matter how many times I press 'Ok'.
I've had a few different processes stop but the last two that spring to mind are 'process.android.phone', 'Swiftkey' and 'Google Play'.
I have to reboot but then end up stuck at the splash screen at boot. I then have to Power+Vol Down to go into recovery and then reboot system from there. It then runs through the App optimisation screen brfore restarting.
I've never touched kernels since I've been changing ROMs so whether thats the issue.
Any help with this would be great as otherwise this is the best Rom Ive used.
Thanks in advance
A logcat showing traces of these force closes would help

I didnt do one on account of me not having a clue what the hell one was
Luckily my friend Google does know what the hell one was.
I've attached a couple of log files created around the time of the unpleasantries which hopefully might shed some light.
This one attached might be better, this was taken after I sorted out my Root Access again so might have more info.

Looks like a resources issue. Are you running any custom CM10 theme? What happens if you install such a theme providing an icon pack?

Hi, thanks for your reply. I havent been near any other custom themes. I've had this problem over a couple of Roms too.
I've tried to generate a catlog to get some error messages around the time its happening but I keep getting constant force close boxes which stop me doing anything (for a couple of different processes). The only way to stop them is to reboot but then the logs stop and reset when it boots so I cant get the info.
I've had to reboot about three times today and each time it has had to optimize the apps for some reason.
I've tried to get a catlog through ADB but I cant run the Android SDK as I need to install the JDK which keeps giving me 'Error 1500' on the install (even though I am most definately not already trying to install it).
Thanks for your help so far though and taking the time to read through the previous log.
Every solution I try just seems to create more problems
I've managed to attach a text file of all the error files its had since it started up (they are all in the space of about 10mins)
I'm not seeing any force closes in there. In your previous log, I saw these lines:
Code:
07-15 18:24:07.919 W/ResourceType(2356): No package identifier when getting value for resource number 0x00000000
07-15 18:24:07.919 W/PackageManager(2356): Failure retrieving resources for [insert any package here basically]: Resource ID #0x0
which led me to identify resources (i.e. icons, drawables, etc) as your culprit.
What we need to do with that information, I wouldn't know. Ask the rom dev, I suppose?

Well I'm assuming their force closes. I get a white box popping up that says 'unfortunately XXXXX has closed' and when I click 'ok' the box goes away but either comes straight back or another similar one pops up. Its Trebuchet quite a lot.
I can't do anything then, if I try to get to LogCat that closes too and I can't really do anything until I reboot.
Its happened over 3 different Roms so dont think theres much the Rom compiler (is that what they're called, lol) can do.
I'm am probably going to have to see if I can get a Log through ADB, if I can remember how to use it, when I have time.
Cheers
I've managed to connect the tablet through ADB and managed to get some errors taken at the time I started getting all the 'Unfortunately XXXXX has closed [ok]' boxes kept coming up.
All the error messages attached came up in the space of a few seconds.
Ahh, now this is interesting. The main cause of your problem is that your filesystem is remounted read-only, which Play Store Services doesn't like.
As to why this is going on I can only guess, but it's possible that it's due to filesystem corruption. Can you try running fsck from recovery?

Hi,
Thanks for looking through them errors.
To be honest I haven't heard of fsck. Is it something I can pick up fairly simply or am I more likely to do more damage? I've done a few searches and it looks a bit difficult and couldn't really find any threads that sounded similar to what I might need.
Thanks again
Update : I've gone into recovery and found files in /system/bin called fsck.exfat and fsck.f2fs is it a case of running a command through terminal command in recovery from this directory?
Fsck is the linux file system checker. The binary is named e2fsck. I think the command should be:
Code:
e2fsck -pv /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/DATAFS
This will try to automatically fix any errors (be sure to note whether there are any). If it complains about unexpected inconsistencies, you'll need to remove the 'p' argument to prevent it from trying to do any automatic fixing.
Note: the whole point of this command is to check and, if needed, modify low-level filesystem structures, so there is a risk of data loss on your DATAFS (i.e. /data) partition.
Be sure to note if there are any errors. If there are, we need to investigate where those are coming from. If not, something else is causing your fs to remount readonly (because THAT is ultimately what is triggering your system to flip out).
(Apologies for the delay, it's been a busy week)

Hi,
No worries mate, I wasn't sure if what I said didn't make sense thats why there were no replies
The problem seems to be a lot better now but I've still had it a couple of times over the last two days.
I've tried to run the command above but with no joy. I'm still only learning the basics of ADB so still having some trouble.
I wasn't sure exactly where to run the commands from through the SDK so just went to the Terminal Command in Recovery and after navigating to the system/bin folder tried that command but it came up with the following:
/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/DATAFS is in use
esfsck: cannot continue, aborting
I apologise if some of what I am doing seems nonsense but I am trying to pick up what I can by myself from various sketchy threads to avoid being a 'tell me what to do cos I can't be bothered looking myself' person. I dont know if this is doing more harm then good
Thanks again in advance for your help.
You cannot check a filesystem while it is in use. Solution: boot to recovery (sorry, I should have specified), then make sure your data partition is not mounted (in CWM it isn't by default, which is good). Then it should be able to run.
(so: boot tablet to recovery, on computer run 'adb shell', in adb shell copy/paste the actual fsck command)

For some reason I cannot get my PC to pickup the tablet in a command window when in TWRP so I was unable to run through ADB. 'ADB Devices just did not show anything.
In the end I did it all on my tablet in TWRP through the 'Command Terminal'. I navigated to the necessary folder (the one with fsck.exfat and fsck.f2fs in - /system/bin) through the Command Terminal and after typing the command in I got the following:
/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/DATAFS clean, 9086/791520 files, 694414/3160055 blocks
Is that good?
It means that your emmc is fine and that there's a different reason why you're getting force closes. Can you post a dmesg next time it happens?

Hi, yea sure. I could use a bit of guidance with exactly how to do that though. I take it that is something I would have to run through ADB from my PC before I reset my tablet? Step by step instructions would be appreciated a lot (as has your extensive help already, creep creep ).
Boot to normal android. Wait until you start getting force closes. Stick your tab into your computer, run 'adb shell', then run 'dmesg'. If it says permission denied, run 'su' first and then run 'dmesg' again. Post the output.

Right, first thing this morning I had some errors, so I've managed to paste the results of a dmesg into the log file attached.

Hmmmm, now this is interesting. It looks like random services are failing to load - they are immediately exiting after being restarted. This is basically the same problem as with your apps force closing - something at the lower layers is causing everything to crash immediately upon launch.
Yet you're able to run basic programs (e.g. adb, dmesg) just fine, meaning that it's not likely to be a hardware issue.
What happens if in adb shell you run su and then 'stop' followed by 'start'? What should happen: when you run 'stop', the whole system freezes, and when you run 'start', you see your boot logo and android starts booting up again. Is this indeed what happens in this case, or do you get a bootloop? If so, post another logcat when you're stuck in the loop; you can get out of it by simply entering 'reboot' in your still-open adb shell.
Hi folks,
I removed Radio3 from /system/app because I was having an issue with my headphone jack and therefore the app wasn't useful (this is the stock FM Radio app that uses my phone's internal tuner).
Now, mysteriously, my headphone jack seems to be working again and so I wanted to put the Radio app back. Well, I've run into problems.
I have the original flashable firmware that I was using, so I mounted system.ext4 on my computer at /mnt/ and went to app/Radio3. Here, I found Radio3.apk and nothing more.
So, I've tried this three ways, one way is that I adb shell and then su. Then
Code:
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# mkdir /system/app/Radio3
Then I chmod and chgrp Radio3 so that it looks just like all of the other dirs in /system/app
Then I copy Radio3.apk into that dir and chmod and chgrp it as well. Reboot the phone and that's fine, but the app isn't installed, I don't see the icon in the app drawer. If I go to the apk in FileManager, I can click on it and the installer opens up, I say, sure install it and it says "App not installed" (what a helpful error message!?).
Okay, so I try another way, while still root, I say "pm install Radio3.apk", in this case, I get [INVALID URI].
Okay, so I try another way, this time I say exit and now, on my machine, I simply try to use adb to install the apk, "adb install -r Radio3.apk", in this case:
Code:
[email protected]:/mnt/app/Radio3$ adb install -r Radio3.apk

pkg: /data/local/tmp/Radio3.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]
Does anyone have any advice on how to get my Radio app working again without reflashing /system? I don't want to reflash /system because I've removed a lot of bloatware and I don't want to have to redo that.
Thanks for any tips or tricks!
In case it helps, I've attached the Radio3.apk to this thread. EDIT: I couldn't figure out how to add a file to the thread, but I'll happily post it somewhere if someone wants to look at it. In any case, it's just the stock Radio3.apk from Sony for their Z3Compact firmware.
Problem solved.
I think I didn't have all of the perms and grps set correctly. I triple checked everything in /system/app/Radio3 and rebooted and I saw (app 1 of 1 optimizing upon reboot). Well, now I find the icon so I can say this issue is solved.
Unfortunately, trying to run the app force closed But that's a separate issue so I'm closing the thread.
Cheers,
