Something is wrong with my G1 camera

At first, whenever I started an application that uses the camera, it force closed. Now, it reboots the phone! I just switched over to the newest stable cyanogen's rom, and the problem remains the same. I wiped before installing. I tried formatting my sd card, but nothing. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Tried it, camera still force closes. What is dalvik cache? Would re-installing the camera application solve the problem, and if so, how do I do it?

grab the camera.apk out of your rom and use this in the recovery console with the .apk on the root of your sdcard
Code:
mount system
mount sdcard
cp /sdcard/Camera.apk /system/app/Camera.apk
(or use mv is cp doesn't work)
reboot
thats how you reintsall system apps
here is the Camera.apk from 4.1.11.1 just remove the .zip extension

I did as you said, and downloaded the file you attached, opened the recovery menu, hit alt-x, and typed in the code. It seems like it un-installed my camera, as both the Camera and Camcorder applications are missing from my application menu. Can I install the Camera.apk using Astro?

you should be able to if you are missing the camera.apk now.

Tried installing with Astro and got message "Camera could not be installed on this phone."

open up terminal emulator and type this
Code:

then look in the output and see if there is a Camera.apk in it.

Well the Camera.apk you posted is 421kb, but the Camera.apk from my rom was 590kb. Tried installing the Camera.apk from my rom with Astro, and it installed succesfully, but when I started the application, force close!

if you have the app log collector or have adb then either get a log with the app or run adb logcat dso you can get a log of it f/c'ing then post it in the thread and say that you have tried reinstallling the app and it is still f/c'ing sorry i don't know what else to do then.

Hmm, hope it isn't a hardware issue. I have the app "Log Collector," but how do I use it?

Make the camera force close. Run the app and select email. Then email yourself a copy and post it

I ran the camera app, and it force closed. I then ran the log collector, and emailed me a copy to my gmail account. I checked my mail, and it was there. But when I opened the message, it was blank. Did I do something wrong?

I installed this program "Bar Control", which makes shortcuts to applications in your notification bar, and when you start the program, it shows a list of applications that you can make a shortcut to. The thing that interested me is that it lists my camera application 4 times. Maybe, just maybe I have 4 camera applications installed, an maybe that is why my camera does not work. So how do I un-install a system app?

If you want to know how many camera.apk's are in /system/app then do in the terminal emulator
ls /system/app
Then scroll through the results to see how many camrea.apk's it lists.
To delete a system app do this in the recovery console
mount system
rm /system/app/appname.apk

Why don't you just use snapphoto its a really good app that I use as a substitute to my camera app. Try it although it you check what's been using your battery it'll say snapphoto as a lot when I turned it off. Can't seem how to fix.

I can't all of the apps that try to access the camera in any way force close.
I typed in "/system/app" in the terminal emulator, but it says "permission denied." Even if I type in "su" before, it says the same thing. What did I do wrong?
by the way, I am now running JacxRom.

what do you mean you typed in /system/app in terminal? what command were you trying to use. also if no camera app works then it could be something wrong with you camera itself.

Unresolved as far as i know

I've seen some people posting some of the problems I've been experiencing, and as of yet, with out any satisfactory solution.
This is what I do from Amon Ra's Recovery 1.2.3:
1. perform Nandroid Backup
2. backup apps on Ext to Fat32
3. Wipe my 2nd Ext...install another ROM
4. Restore apps from Fat32 back to Ext
Now all my apps will be present in the App Tray.
Some are available for use while some are not. The ones that are not will have a "whitish" icon with a "cog" on it, where the icon for the app used to be. From what I understand, this has to do with paid and non-paid apps. That's cool. Just re-install.
But the problem is, when I attempt to install "some of the whitish" apps, a notification on the screen says it's already installed. When I attempt to "uninstall some of the other whitish" apps, both the install and uninstall boxes are grayed out.
The other thing is this....when I go into settings>applications>manage applications...the same apps I want to uninstall aren't on the list to choose from. I have an uninstaller app and some are on there and some aren't. The ones that are on the list I don't have a problem uninstalling and re-installing.
An example is an app called "Cardar". It's on my home screen but doesn't show up on the manage application list or under the uninstall app. I have a few apps like that that I can't find. Pocket DJ Full is another.
One other issue I'm having is when I receive a call I'll get an option to force close the program the dialer utilizes. If I hit the green button to answer the call, I can accept the call, have my convo, then press the end button or press "force close". to hang up. My email is doing the same thing when I try to enter my account info. The messaging program that comes stock is doing the same thing.
Any ideas? Any solutions? Any and everything that has worked for all of you is welcome as a suggestion/solution to my problems.
Thanks in advance. I appreciate the assistance.

Since it sounds like you are having so many problems I would wipe the card and repartition it, wipe phone, and reflash the rom. It might be a ***** going back in and reinstalling your apps but at least you would know it's done properly.

Exactly what I was trying to avoid. Was trying to see if I could get replies to deal with the individual issues and I'd correct them one by one.

Quick question... if I do a factory reset will that wipe out my Amon Ra Recovery? As far as apps I have backed up to the Fat32. I know the Fat32 is on the SDcard but stranger things have happened when we dibble and dabble in this thing we call modding.

No it won't wipe out your recovery.

NO you will not loose your recovery.... As far as I've been seeing the Ra recovery is not fully wiping the ext ,been noticing a lot of people with the same issue ... re-partition your sd-card or just manually clear your ext from console by >
mount /system/sd
rm -rf /system/sd/*
this will clear all your apps off your ext... The trick is when you first sign in after a wipe wait for the sync , after open your market app go to downloads and all your apps will be there , they will say FREE (purchased apps are always there ) ,,, once you don't back out of that screen you have all your downloaded apps in one place for reinstall... its a pain I know ,but its the only way to really get a clean install ,as I don't like any of the backup apps .....
Hope this helps.,.,.,

how come no one ever suggested a fix_permissions for this, on ra's image it is the fix uid mismatches. sorry when i hear fc i automaticlly think try fixing permissions

hahaha I just saw your location grid. That ain't reverand like

again, you guys are thinking of priets, reverends are allowed to do whatever they want, we can get booty, lapdances and hookers

hey preme, you know where i am and i gotta say

Appreciate the help. The thing with the market (staying on that page to retain apps) I've known about. And I think that's the only way to really retain all your apps at this point in the game.
Did the fix permissions thing too. No dice.

my first post...long time lurker though.
try clearing your dalvik-cache too. from what I've read the 16GB cards don't take too well to partitioning, so that may be an issue as well (I've got one as well, partitioned and it lags a lot, considering just going back to a single partition). You could also trying to fsck your ext2 partition.

[Q] Need help with One Click Root

I posted this as a reply to the original thread but haven't received a reply so wanted to start my own thread to see if someone could help me. Thanks.

Hey all,
I actually found out about this method on another forum but it linked to this thread.
I did the steps outlined, installed titanium, superuser, busybox and it appears I have root access for some folders and some apps, but not all.
I have a sprint hero, FW 2.1.1, SW 2.27.651.6. Not sure I want to install a custom ROM just yet, but my motive for rooting is to get rid of the stock sprint junk. I've tried to remove them from settings, applications, manage, but there is no uninstall. I also tried from astro, but permissions won't let me delete the apk files. Is there another way to remove these apps?
I'm new to android/linux, so don't really understand all the adk stuff, which is why when researching I picked the easy copy zip and run version.
Also, when I tried to do OTA updates, it says it's installling, reboots, but goes into the recovery program, and I don't know which option I should choose. If I go with the reboot, phone loads like normal, but doesn't show the update.
Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

If you want to uninstall the bloatware use titanium backup's uninstall option. You'll know if you're rooted if/when you get the Superuser Request popup asking you to accept or deny super user permissions for whatever app you're trying to run.

Sounds like you need to change permissions on the system/app folder. Here is how it is done...
Type in these commands in Terminal Emulator if you don't get ADB. Be sure you're rooted first
$ su
$ mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

Removing apps via Recovery

All,
Since 6.0, Google has made a change to the N6 to not allow any modifications to the system partition. This is a bit frustrating as there is only 16MB left on system partition. There are some apps I would like to remove from my phone (G+, various language apks, google newstand, google play games) in order to increase the system partition. I have tried Titanium Backup without any success.
Has anyone else tried removing apps via recovery?

Flash or boot TWRP, then mount system and wreak havoc. Happy massacre.

istperson, can you expand on that a bit please? I've always used TiBU to freeze bloatware (Games, Pinyin, Korean Input, blah, blah, blah), but if I could usefully just delete them that would be a bonus.
Do you mean just go into TWRP and delete them? Is there any reason that this wouldn't work in, for example, Root Explorer or Solid Explorer? Why recovery in particular? Because you're outside the OS?

I would prefer to do this via a zip/script. I just need to figure out how to do that.

Okay.

Is this on stock ROM only? If I flash cm13 will I have this problem? Or is this 6.0 in general. I'm sorry I'm flashing a friends phone on a few days and am attempting to learn this device fast.

Can't you uninstall directly from TiBu?

Well, there's an "uninstall" button that I've never tried... - thanks for the reminder.
I was just wondering about the technical side. If the OS is active, as it is if I use the TiBU method, does it do everything that istperson's TWRP suggestion would do outside the OS?
Maybe I'll have a go at TiBU to see if it actually does free up space.

I routinely remove docs, sheets, and slides when I install an update which opens up ~200mb for things and they're all conveniently located close to eachother alphabetically in /system/app/Editordocs, editorsheets, editorslides. Just go into the file manager in TWRP after mounting /system and click into the folders hit select and then delete for all 3. Tada easy. language keyboards like pinyinIME, JapaneseInput, HindiIME are located in the same location along with Newsstand, G+ is called PlusOne, PlayGames etc.
As for zip/script to do it idk what to tell you, not my forte.
TiBup pretty much does/did the exact same thing as above not sure if it only removed the apk's or whether it just took out the whole folder. I do know it would never put the apps back the way they were and they almost never worked if you tried restoring them.

In Marshmallow you need a permissive kernel to remount system as rw when Android is running, and everything goes in the direction to disable this. And I think this is a good thing, because with all the news of malware form Google Play, that you can acquire in an official way, imagine what they can do with permissive kernels.
So it's the best if we accept, that we can only modify system by flashing it from fastboot, or by mounting it in custom recovery.

If you could please elaborate, in which way did this manifest exactly?

Strange, that. After reading your post, istperson (thank you) I thought I'd go in and destroy my N10 by running amok in TWRP. I did press "Mount" and got a screen which offered me very little, certainly not a list of directories. It looked pretty much like a display (i.e. non-update) screen with nothing interactive except "Return". In the end I just went into Advanced/File Manager and created havoc in there, deleting useless keyboards, Docs, Sheets, etc., so far with no apparent ill effect.

So if I boot into TWRP and press mount then I get a list of available volumes:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After ticking 'system', in file manager then it appears in the folder list, and entering it, there are the apps:

Ah, I think I see... I guess you mean that if I don't tick "system" then when I go into File Manager the system partition isn't available?
I was thinking more along the lines of "Tick system, it will immediately display the system partition", whereas what you mean is "Tick system, return, go to File Manager, edit system" - right? That's actually what I did, so thanks for that pointer.

Remove pre-installed Netflix

Why OnePlus? Why?
Anyway, if you want to remove the pre-installed Netflix crap, here's the app locations :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Obviously you'll need root access as the items are in the system folder.
Just use a root browser (I used root explorer) to change the permissions to 777 (full access for all) to all of those entries, remember to enable it for sub-folder and items on the folders too, then you should be able to delete them.
Stop it OnePlus, naughty.

I jist disable it in App detail and it basically no longer "exists". Its what I do to all stock apps. It is nice OnePlus allows disabling of all nonessential apps. Unlike Samsung or LG.

flash from h2os (china version, a lot of junk app) to oxygen 9.5.4 EU, no netflix integrated.

I've been using this for a long time. It's always worked well for me
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en_US
Always comes in handy when flashing new roms

Same here, been using System app remover on my last few devices. It also back's the removed apps to Internal storage...

Still better. Use 'Debloater' module from Magisk repository. (requires BusyBox installed).
Works like a charm.

I use SD Maid Pro to delete apps entirely

Agree that debloater from magisk is good. You can delete in multiples and scan throughout your phone.

Sorry to revive an old post but I am using Debloater with busybox installed. When I uninstall Netflix it finishes as expected but doesn't actually uninstall. It even shows under "restore uninstalled apps".

Try booting to TWRP, mount system, open Advanced tab, use file manager within TWRP, navigate to /system/product/app/, delete the netflix-stub and Netflix-activation packages, then unmount system through TWRP, finally reboot system.

I tried to do this same process for deleting Gmail and it didn't work. Gmail was still there when I booted up. Just an FYI. I can't seem to delete Gmail from system apps. Everyone has theories but no one can seem to delete it. I'm rooted by the way.

You've navigated to this directory within twrp, deleted the Gmail2 folder, and the Gmail app is still in your app tray? If so, maybe you can uninstall as you would a regular user app at that point.
