[Q] Google dialer & Gallery - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
I am on Omega rom and it's pretty nice. But, like every Samsung based rom, there are some things that bother me, the main thing is the lag when opening the dialer and the gallery. It can take sometimes up to 3 seconds for these apps to open when they haven't be launched in a while. Since the CM10 based rom still have some bugs which are crucial to me (no wifi & bluetooth tethering), I am sticking with the Samsung based roms.
My questions are:
1. Is there a way to flash the original AOSP dialer and gallery?
if there isn't,
2. Is there a way to prevent the dialer & gallery from closing?
Thanks a lot, I really hope someone can offer some good advice here.

i dont know the answers to your 2 questions.. but bluetooth tethering does work on CM10 based roms. wifi tethering is broken but wifi itself works just fine.

Yeah, I just saw that BT tethering is finally working, but wifi tethering is still broken... and I use that pretty often...

CM10 on Atrix 4G

Sorry to put this in General but I haven't met the requirements to post elsewhere and hopefully someone will see this .
I've been keeping up with the Atrix 4G CM10 Mod and have to say great work so far. The latest version fixes most of the issues I've seen in the past including the Camera and random reboots.
Few things it doesn't fix that may be either app developer issues, issues with the mod itself, or something I'm not thinking of; Netflix doesn't work , Triple Town (and some other games) don't work (I think this is due to hardware accel, but they work on my Flipside so I'm not sure that matters much).
Anyways just wanted to say thanks, and great work. Can't wait for the next update.

Just tried it but I'm going back to Turl's CM9 which I've been using for a month now. CM10 isn't quite as refined as CM9 atm, CM10 doesn't allow for transitions also the crt animation isn't functioning along with GPS(which also isn't working in CM9 for me), on the bright side Google now worked good on CM10 and is pretty cool.
Camcorder is working? Do Chrome tabs work?

Video is not working in the native camera app but you can apparently download a camera app in the maket to take video. Chrome tabs still crash the app. Neither of these will probably be able to be fixed until we get official drivers from ICS update.

Seems to depend on who you are, the Camera and Camcorder work fine for me under CM10 with the native camera application. Though it does crap out from time to time. I've had better luck with Pudding Camera being stable.
As for tabs, don't know, will have to look to see if they are working when I get home.

Whitout acceleration, ICS or JB is useless =/ (no video cam, no 720p video playback)
Whaiting for the official one ^^ (It will be crapy but our deves will mod it)
I know, my english is terrible!
I have jokersax CM10 and my issues so far are:
-When the camera takes a picture with the flash on, the image is overlayed with a heavy green tint, also happened in CM9
-Cant see internal SD storage in Win7.
-Video worked at first (with delay) but now crashes with some gallery error.
-Can't get GPS to work but I'll try GPS test outside in a few minutes
-The animations are smooth but sometimes do this weird little jump back at last couple of frames, doesn't really bother me.
My battery life seems better than the CM9's I tried and the phone has been using deep sleep with CM10. That said, both 9 and 10 use noticeably more battery than CM7.
I also had issues with GPS on CM 9/10. I tried all the common fixes. Even going back to a blur-based ROM didn't fix it. Finally flashed my radio to 36P and now the GPS locks in seconds.
Jokersax CM10 JB 0.2 !!
Hi Guys,
I being a noob, installed Jokersax's CM10 JB 0.2 version yesterday. Had some nervous moments :fingers-crossed: when I soft bricked my phone. But finally recovered from that and could install JB. The following are my observations;
Working:
1) Camera
2) GPS
3) Google Now works. Awesome !! Very quick and to the point.
4) Music play back on phone speaker
5) DLNA works. Tested with Skifta and iMediashare
Not working: (Driver issues and app issues)
1) Chrome not working properly. When I zoom in, it crashes
2) Camcorder - recorded a short video snippet. But the file vanished from the gallery. Not able to find it or it did not record at all !!
3) Finger print
4) Stuttering slightly when moving from one desktop to another
5) No Webtop
6) XDA developer app
Will update this post when I do further tests
Thanks again to CM10 developers, Jokersax and to all those who have helped in getting this ROM to this level.
Why post this here? These issues are already well-known and documented.

Sorry nh777 and all. In the excitement of having JB, did not analyse the thread.
I'm very pleased with CM10 Epinter. The small bugs and video camera not bother me so much as to not use more CM10. Bring on the libs official logo.
Amazing rom and theming questions
I have installed CM10 on my Motorola Atrix from Emerson Pinter and found that it works amazingly. Some minor issues involving the camera, gps, and sometimes frame lags, but other than that, it seems to be a pretty stable build. Battery is amazing compared to most other roms. I get a 25 hour battery! Thanks EPinter! I just have one question and hope someone can help me, even though it doesn't exactly pertain to this topic. You know when you are at the lockscreen, you tap the lock and you can slide it to wither camera or unlock? Well, I was wondering if I could change the little dots in the background, maybe change the color or something along those lines. Does anyone have any information on that?
Thanks,
Luca

Wouldn't a different theme do that?
Sorry for reviving an old thread (I thought it would be better than not using the search function) but where can I get the latest version of cm10? I mostly need a functioning camera again which this jokersax ROM doesn't seem to have working.
I understand that Motorola has pretty much killed off any hope of a fully functional jb but I only want a working camera.

Framework-res.apk & Camera Issues
No. I have tried so many themes and none of them have made a difference. I forget where, but I read an article that the image was in framework-res.apk. Any help? On a side note, my camera on JellyBean has been REALLY bad. Is that a result of unofficial drivers? If anyone has a fix for any of these issues, please please please contact me!
Thanks.

Sorry, my bad, I only just realized the theming engine cannot theme the lockscreen. It's a known limitation of the engine.
You could always decompile your framework-res, find and change the relevant file, and then compile it back...
Audio over bluetooth (Epinter CM10 20121011)
Hi guys,
I wanted to post this in the dev thread but was not able to do so as I do not have the required minimum 10 posts.
I am using Epinter's CM10 Oct 11th version. I am having a small issue with it.
I am not getting audio over bluetooth. Does anyone else facing the same problem?
I tried to un-pair and re-pair, reboot etc. But nothing worked.
It would be great if any one can solve the issue.
Thanks,
Trying to get to 10 posts so sorry if already mentioned...
On Jokersax latest CM10 build and have a camera issue as well, no preview of what I am taking, it seems to take a picture as I can see thumbnail afterwards, but cannot view the thumbnail or change location for default directory... Only bug I found so far, less than 12 hours testing...

[Q] JellyBam 4.0.0 A few questions

Hey xda,
this is my first post. yaiks :fingers-crossed:
i got a few questions regarding the JellyBam ROM. I'm using Version 4.0.0 on my S3 International (previous T-Mobile Germany, but now unbranded).
Since now i've tried a lot of different ROM's looking if they suit my needs/wants. For now i stick with JellyBam
However there are a few things were i need some information on:
1. I'd like to have the "stock" camera app and gallery, cause i dont really like the aosp camera app.
It has just not the look i want and at the moment it's lacking a lot of options as well.
Ofc i know that there are some Camera Mods that bring the "old" camera back, but i dont seem to get them working. I've tried like four.
If i'm correct, it's actually the Note 2 Camera, right? So could someone tell me which camera mod actually should work with JellyBam ROM?
Don't need links, just the mod name. This way i can be sure that it has to work and its me who is doing it wrong
2. I also want the stock music player back, cause Apollo is, in my eyes, just bs. I didn't went from iPhone to Samsung to have the same stupid music handling. No folder view.....i mean, really?
Copy some music to your sd, switch to player and select the one you want to hear, that's how it should be done.
But with Apollo you only get the option Album, Artist, Title and Playlist. I don't want to make a playlist, when i can put different tracks in one folder.
And most of us probably have a lot of music, where the id tags are not correct...
So is there a mod for the stock player? That would be really nice!
3. Is there a mod for DLNA? Since i dont seem to find it now, with the AOSP ROM. This was pretty handy with my samsung TV
4. I'm using MPE for communication with my pc. However, i only can look through my S3 via MPE. But in the explorer it wont show up. Everytime i connect the phone it says "missing hardware id".
De-/Reinstalling drivers, etc. didnt work. It's not really a problem. But i just dont like work-arounds.
I also need to have the USB-Debugging turned on all the time, otherwise MPE wouldnt connect as well. Does someone has any ideas on that problem?
Thanks in advance. I hope you gents/ladies can help me out.
Cheers,
goop.Q
//bump
Anyone?
you can't have any samsung apps, like camera and player, on non-samsung roms like CM, which JellyBam is based on.
Why are you using an outdated version?

Well i'm aware of that all you say.
But as far as i know you are wrong at the same time. there are mods that bring some of those stock apps back to the ROM, sammy-based or not.
And that should go for the camera as well.
For the version thing:
JellyBam 5.x.x is based on AOSP 4.2.x
Version 4.x.x is based on 4.1. and is much more stable at the moment.
Just because there comes a leak every third day or so doesnt mean, i have to get all the updates.
especially when the FW is working fine. why should i want to tweak on my phone forever?
not the camera, and not the player. it won't work on non-Sammy ROMs unless it specifically says that it's been ported
Ok thanks. Will loook for that.

[Q] Want to switch to a custom rom but there are some peoblems

Greetings everybody,
As the title suggests, I want to switch to using a custom rom as my daily driver,
First I like the stock android look better than touchwiz's, and having the ability to tweak my phone to my liking is tempting.
But there are a few things holding me back from doing that, I've tried using AOKP 4.2.2 ROM a few days ago but went back to the factory setup immediately after for a few reasons:
1- Camera's auto-focus has gotten slow and faulty, and the quality of the images worsened.
2- I couldn't sync facebook with my contacts (profile pictures show on contacts).
3- Many apps that came built in with samsung's touchwiz were removed and I had to download similar ones from the play store (music player, fm radio, file browser etc... I also found that setting up my ringtone is a bit fiddly.
If somebody could help me find a way to address some of these problems that's be very much appreciated.
Thanks in a advance!

Quality of images can't be solved, but auto focus is solved in the recent nightlies
Use haxsync or uber sync for fb contacts
The samsung apps need the framework (touchwiz) and will not work on AOSP

Use touchwiz based roms , you ll have the exact same stock look and feel and better performance , the apps you wanted will be present in them and they will mostly be stable , so you wont have any problems , plus you ll have root so you can do all the tweaking you wanted and are interested in
Go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220154 - look at roms under samsung base Enjoy! Welcome to Rooting , Youre never going back !
I had the same thing but I just kept flashing roms to see wich I like best. Seems sotmax seems ok for now im just waitin for a 4.2 rom wich does not drain my battery while I setup my phone and apps. (I found out if I read properly it might be kernel related and that there is no official good kernel for the 4.2 android.)

[Q] lock screen notifications and camera on 4.1?

i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for this scenario:
i recently switched over from an iphone 5 - i'm running the latest MeanBean and pretty happy with everything for the most part.
two things i miss from the iphone:
- access to a "quick camera" from the lock screen (even if i dock the camera app, i have to unlock my phone before the app will open)
- gmail and handcent SMS notifications on the lock screen
i know it's possible to just drag the notification panel down from the lock screen, but it's slightly less elegant. i'd like to be able to turn my screen on, glance at any new texts or e-mails, and turn it back off. to clarify, the only reason i'm using handcent is because i need group messaging (MMS) functionality, which android 4.1 doesn't properly support. i know the Sense productivity lockscreen supports the native SMS app.
the frustrating part is that android 4.2 gives me the lockscreen widgets i'm looking for (and the group messaging too!), but none of the 4.2 ROMs out there have a camera app that measures up to the Sense one. it's literally the only reason i'm using a Sense ROM.
any suggestions?
gonna try rephrasing my question to see if anyone has any advice:
1) what's your favorite Android 4.2 ROM with working Bluetooth?
2) my dad started complaining about the font size on the iphone 5, so i have a feeling he's going to want this phone back. what's a good daily driver for a non-power user? i was thinking MeanBean

Currently I'm running CM10.1 "cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-jewel-M2", and it works fine with Bluetooth.
It does, however, have issues with GPS and MHL/Hdmi. I was able to get the GPS working correctly after discovering this workaround. I haven't yet been able to fix MHL/Hdmi support, though.

They're not stable yet. ie. you can expect random reboots for no apparent reason at all. On the other hand I can confirm that almost everything is working on all roms. I am on CM12 and am loving its neat UI.
Yup just as jnx_r said expect random stuff to occur because the roms aren't quite there yet. At least 95% functionality with a side of randomness. The UI is something to behold and is really fluid. While I ran it, I had little lag and no random reboots, except when I forgot to charge the phone and let the battery almost die; that sent the phone into a crazy bootloop. But, don't be afraid to try it out on your own, just make sure you read and understand before flashing. And ALWAYS make a nandroid. You should always have an escape plan to fall back on in case crap hits the fan.
What about stuff like camera, Facebook video upload and Snapchat video recording? I've been on Cm11 for many months and always have issues with the camera, facebook video uploads hanging and snapchat video recording not working.

Cant answer about facebook upload or snapchat because i dont use them sorry, but as for the camera, on archi's cm12 rom the stock one doesnt work without a fix so its recommended to use google camera but even then when i used it after 2 days that stopped working for me.

I got the camera can't connect error too. But restarting the phone fixed the issue. Anyways, the main thing is that is not that frequent ie. completely usable.

All questions need to go into the Q&A area and not the general area.
I will get a mod to move it for you this time but next time post in the right area or ask a mod to move it for you.
