I have flashed the following ROM on my Galaxy S3 i9300 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-archidroid-v2-4-6-power-hands-t2354859
The "Can't connect to the camera" error of cyanogenmod persists.
Earlier I was using Cyanogenmod 11 and faced the same issue but there was a quick fix available - Restart_camera.apk
That ofcourse was meant for KitKat and doesn't work for 5.1.1.
I have to reboot my device several times to use the camera.
Is there any fix for this?
Thanks and Regards

Hi, I had the same problem with my i9300
- in my case Snapchat created the problem
- everytime it crashed I got the "Can't connect to camera" notification and had to reboot my phone (that was a problem I also solved with the Restart_camera.apk under CM 11)
(I'm currently running crDroid http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-crdroid-lollipop-t2994209/page46 but I think it might be the same cause)
Solution: (took me a few weeks to find it )
- found out that it messed up a Linux process in the background (it was the "mediaserver" - process)
- created a new Task with Tasker > 'Run Shell' > Command: "pkill -9 /system/bin/mediaserver" > checked 'use root' > finish
- everytime you run the Task the "mediaserver" process gets killed and is restarted by the system
- Camera is released and working fine again without a reboot
Another way if you want to try my Solution without buying Tasker:
- Download OS Monitor (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eolwral.osmonitor&hl=de)
- wait until your Camera crashes next time
Open OS Monitor:
- Settings > check Root > check Expert-Mode
- Back to the Process-List > (all processes - also native Linux processes should be displayed now) > long click on "/system/bin/mediaserver" > "Kill/Reset Process"
Open the Camera:
- it should work now
Hope I could help you!
Best Regards
Find "Mediaserverkill app" on the play store. It's free. Set it to kill Mediaserver on screen unlock, you'll never fave the 'Can;t connect to camera' problem again, thanks.
Hit Thanks if I helped.

Yes, it was the mediaserver. Resetting the process works great. Thanks a ton. :good:
FIX
Ok, here is the fix.
When you're flashing your custom rom, and then flashing Gapps, just download aroma Gapps for any android version you're using and select to flash Google Camera. Then reboot and stock Cyanogenmod camera will be replaced with the Google Camera.
PS: BE SURE YOU ARE DOWNLOADING GAPPS FROM OFFICIAL WEBSITE

Hey all, I recently installed WanamLite V7.5 XXLP2 4.0.3 Final rom and it seems to be working fine, great actually but there is one huge problem. Whenever I enter the market, there is a "Server error" message and I cannot even see any apps on the market.
I tried using the method Wanam has given on the website, to remove the gmail account, reboot and add the account again. However, it does not seem to be working and I still get the message. I also tried to clear application data for Market in Settings>Apps but it does not fix the problem.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

YOU CAN TRY FOLLOWING THINGS
1) Change The Language of your phone to Any language. Come out of Settings.
Open Market. Check whether the Terms and Conditions is coming... Or Server Error Comes.. Go Back to Settings and Change it to Desired Language and Again Open Market. (Works Well if used English Language)
2) Go To Settings -> Apps -> Clear Data -> Force kill the application. Go Back and Again Start Market.
3) If 2nd thing doesn't work alone. Do the second Step again and Make sure that you open market only in WIFI.
Hope one of the method works for you ...
the first method works.
thanks a lot
Is there anyway I can get those links? When I click them it say's they're expire or something...

Probably because Cyanogen has shut down Cyanogen os
I have the same problem. No idea how to fix this.

Hello,
This will not get you an account but if the app doesn't let you in, this is a workaround to use it without logging in:
Go into the settings > Lock screen > Lock Screen Mods > 'the little setting icon next to the Static wallpaper'
and you should be in the themes app now.

Here is an easy step by step tutorial:
1. Download this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut
2. Open it, you should be in the activities tab (if not navigate to it)
3. In the text field "Input keyword to filter" type "Theme Chooser"
4. Expand the hopefully one search result and click on the first one
5. Check if it works by clicking on try then click create to add it to your homescreen
I also included a screenshot in my post.
Hope it helps.
P. S. : This is a forum specifically for the Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus.
Hi everyone,
I have a rooted Doogee X3 running on Android 6.0 and I have an issue with the Google Play Services which are constantly crashing. I know I am not the only one, as I read a lot of posts on the topic, but I haven't still succeeded to fix the issue. What worked at the beginning was : 1. Stop the app, 2. empty cache, 3. disable the app -> factory reset for the app, 4. reboot phone, 5. enable the app, 6. reboot phone, 7. update the app, 8. reboot phone. The first time the issue appeared was after an update from Google beginning of November (the 2nd, if I recall correctly). With this, I didn't have the issue during a short month, was quite happy, but it came back yesterday, and this process didn't solve it.
Why update the app, as it seems the issue shows up after an update ? Because if I don't do it, a lot of other apps is not working either...
Current version is 11.7.46 (434-175121617).
Thank you very much for your help !
Hi,
is there a pissibility to install TouchWiz launcher on Lineage 14.1 SGS2 ?
I ask, because i have many problems and missing features on LA 14.1, and i think this might be a problem of the Trebuchet launcher.
1. Missing Samsung Driving Mode
2. USB-PC connection is always at "charging" (doesn't stay at MTP)
3. GPS doesn't show the status, if it is on or off, or searching for a singnal (it only shows up when requested by an app)
4. Menue Button shows launcher settings instead of System settings
5. Changing / swiping home sites stops at the first and the last site. (no endless search-change in one direction possible)
6. there is no "nerby" connection possible. DNLA, Chromecast, NAS, and BT doesn't appear in the OS native media players. (like it was in OS 4.12)
7. The OS integrated screensharing doesn't work. It just connects for a second to the chromecast device and then it closes.
8. Email attachements (e.g. WAV) doesn't open. Error message: "no app installed to open" And there is no choice to choose an app manually. But i have many apps installed that can play WAVE.
I think this is related to the Trebuchet launcher?
Is there another launcher possible that fixed all these issues?
Tasker command Problems (E-Robot):
9. Can't unlock display via Tasker
10. Some events doesn't work, e.g. "App started / App opened / App get in focus / App closed" etc.
Other:
11. When i try to overwrite some app-setting files in root directory, the app says "no such file", or "permission denied". But the file has the same permissions as the orig file before.
(in one of 50 trials the files where accepted without an error message, but i don't kow why, or what i done right)
12. When I insert the SD card from the phone to the PC, the Win-PC says the SD card is locked. But it isn't! So I must do error-check and correction every time, or sometimes new-format the SD card.
13. Is it possible somehow to change/rename the automatic code names of the internal storage and external Sd card? "4B95-09FD" and "410E-190C" is so ugly, and i can never remind which is what. Why are the developers doing such ugly ****???
14. Since i have installed and deinstalled the "iPlay Music" app (3 Days ago) the playstore always opens itself one time each hour and prompts me to install the player. How can i stopp the playstore to bother me with this installation prompt?
15. When the screen is waked up (e.g. by a call, or message) it keeps awake and does not lock again, sometimes.
16. The soft key bottons in display-off mode are always shining or blinking. Why??
Are there any solutions to any of these issues?
Maybe a Nougat Rom with touchwiz?
My old 4.12 stock rom was really more easy to handle. I miss it :crying:

Samsung S2 i9100
Lineage 14.1 (rooted, buisybox and Xposed installed)
I've got a Nokia 7.1, which in System-About Phone says it is a 7.1, TA-1096. But when I sideload a stock ROM (to move from Oreo to Pie) it says 'E: package is for product CTL_Sprout but expected B2N', and refuses to install it. My understanding is CTL-Sprout is the 7.1, and B2N is the 7 Plus.
It also:
- fails to find that any OTA updates are available despite being on 8.1;
- won't take a B2N ROM by sideload (says 'E:failed to verify whole file signature', 'E:signature verification failed' and 'E:error 21'); and
- interacts fine with ADB when booted or in recovery, but isn't recognised by the fastboot devices command when in 'download mode'., so I haven't been able to flash TWRP.
It all seems strange to me, but I'm not very experienced. I originally put the phone aside when I found there was not going to be a bootloader unlock, and am keen to now get it to Q and try to root it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Hi oujdamp. It doesn't look promising I'm sorry … I started a similar thread on the Nokia forums and got some useful (but disappointing) information. The link is here: https://community.phones.nokia.com/discussion/59020/my-7-1-thinks-its-a-7-plus-and-so-wont-update
Hi.
I just contact nokia care about my case . And he ask me to floww thes steps
1. Go to Settings > Apps and notifications > App info > Google Play services > Storage > Clear data and Clear cache
2. Settings > Security and location > Location Off
3. Please remove the phone SIM card.
4. After that, please check for the update availability via Wi-Fi network: Settings > System > System update > Check for update
5. Soft reset: Press and hold at the same time Power key and Volume Up for Only 10 sec, until short phone vibration and Powered by Android message. Your phone will restart, without deleting your data.
VPN Steps:
After trying the above steps if the issue still remains, you can try to use VPN:
Turn Location off: Go to Settings > Security and location > Location > Tap to switch it Off.
Download a VPN from Play Store.(Any VPN application)
Clear Cache and data of Google Play services: Settings > Applications > Google Play Services > cache and data
Deactivate Google Play Services. Navigate to Settings > Apps and notifications > See all apps > Google Play Services > Disable
(In case you cannot Disable it Please go to "settings" - "Security" - "Device Administrators" - Turn OFF "Find my device" try the steps 2 again).
Then go to "Settings" - "Location" Turn it OFF. Soft reset the device.
Now open the VPN app that you have downloaded and run it.
Check for the Update.
Go to "Settings" - "Apps"- Look for Google Play Services and Enable it.
But i cant finish thoses steps . Once i disable google services tbe update option disapear
