You can only disable gps on the stock Camera app. If you have SGS camerahack or any Rom hacked camera package your SOL.

[Q] bootLoader

Hy
I have a problem. I really like the 2.2 ROM's but I also need the camera.
Is there a bootloader or something like it.
So I can install and use the 2.2 ROM and whene I need the camera, I can switch to the 1.6
Thanks

[Q] GPS locks quickly, but then doesn't update

I know, there are a million GPS related threads. I thought maybe some of you could help my understand how it can "find" my location so quickly, but updates it so slow afterwards?
what do you mean by updating? are you referring to the map not updating?

Yeah for example, when I am on the highway, as soon as I launch the app it will pinpoint where I am pretty accurately, but doesn't really update as I continue to drive down the road.
I just thought, if it could lock on so quickly on first try why can't it continue to update at that rate?
Clue i see is the rom you have installed as its the usual suspect .
Or you do not have a mobile data connection on and the maps can not download as you drive along .

Do you believe Darky's ROM effects this, or just any third party ROM?
What ROM do you suggest?

I suggest that you try the stock rom first to make sure that it's a ROM issue (and not hardware issue or your inability to control the navigation app).
If all works fine on the stock rom, try different roms until you find one that works.
Good luck
What modem are you using? Modem matters much more then ROM (unless Darky does stupid sh!t to mess it up which wouldn't surprise me).

I guess this would be a good idea, I will try it. Right now I'm on Darky's 9.3XWJS5 and baseband is i9000XXJPY.
I'm on Bell Mobility Canada if that matters

and Second time from "*2767*3855#" ...

After sometime i feel the real Lag ... I see my Colleague has a Galaxy S2 and if Scroll his Contacts / music Player / Videos ... its damn fast ...
I feel like going back to the Firmware i had while i got the Phone...

"After sometime the lag comes back..."
Sounds like its an app or combination of apps you download/install.

I`am not fond of updates and always try to flash the whole rom. Download the rom for your country/region from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3. Install Odin 1.85. Do a data wipe/factory reset in recovery mode and cache wipe. Go in downloadmode and connect to Odin and flash the unzipped rom you downloaded. Usually that is much better.
Good luck

I don't know guys why you are facing this problem, I have same ROM n i dont have any issue. It is not necessary but i always like to update my ROM with clean installation.
I mean before update i like to hard reset my device, another thing i never update my device with Kies/OTA. b'coz it erases Root.
So here is best way to get update.
First downgrade to older ROM
N7000XXKL3 ------ 2.3.6 2011 December-------- N7000ODDKL1
you will find it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Read post #2 of above thread regarding Installation guide.
Now if you are interested then You can get Root + CWM (use my guide)
Now after root, you can have Data backup, you can use Titanium backup / Mybackup Pro
Hard reset device.
Now you can update latest ROM (use same tread as above for ROM)
with using CWM/Mobile Odin
You can restore your data, which you have backed up earlier
( You should not restore system part, as it may inject old junk)
Now you will have clean update ROM on your device.
Thanks a lot brother ketan ...
Well , going by the Good ole saying "First Impression is the best Impression"...
I felt the initial firmware is much better .. hence i used your Step by step Procedure to flash old firmware and here i am .. back to Level 1...
Now I feel my Phone is super Fast ... and I really have to think 100 times from now before i plan to do a Firmware update... I fine with the DEC 2011 Firmware Version.
Thanks to all the Folks who Participated in this thread...
Its worth a share of knowledge.
Have a Blast folks ......
Thanks a Ton again .
Sai
But experience of new rom also not less charming!
And now u have old rom handy, (n of course experience to downgrade) so after some time your finger gets itchy to feel new ROM
But really it's wonderful.

[Q] Troubleshooting with my galaxy s3 mini

hello all,
I'm really new and novice to the Android hacking. in fact, this is the second time I tampers an android phone.
I have a Galaxy S3 Mini I just bought 2 weeks ago,from a guy who have used it for a while. the guy who sold it to me warned me that the wifi and camera does not work because of the root he had done. so i thought i will find the solution by reinstalling an official rom
Now I changed the firmware to an official firmware which was launched december from marocan operator, everything is ok, the Installation was succssessfull, but every time I get an error: kernel panic upload firmware.
My system information are:
GT 8190
android 4.1.2
base band/ I8190XXAMG4
KERNEL 3.0.31 -1332988
it wil really be nice if someone could find me a solution because i've searched all over internet but didn't found solution.
maybe a golden kernel may resolve the problem? but can't find any link.
thanks
All you need is, here & here. Have fun learning new stuff. BTW, welcome to s3 mini.
Upload panic mode

i've just finished the installation of the i8190XXXAMJ3 with the latest kernel. the phone seems to run smoother than before but after some tests, the message panic kernel upload mode still appears.
i ve also noticed that sometimes the screen lags, maybe the hardware hypothese is valid?
and the apn and wifi still don t work.
any idea ?

sorry, this isnt a solution :/
how much do you cost the fix of the purple camera?
& i dont thing you need a camera driver, the driver are supposed installed with the RUU, so, should be another reason.

it was free, i just paid for shipping there, but it took a month while they waited on parts. supposedly wasnt just my camera but they fixed whatever else for free too. they mightve discovered the simlock was gone, even though i relocked my bootloader, reset the tampered/relocked flags, and set s-on. the lady on the phone told me they would charge me if my phone was rooted
was it under warranty??
do you know the price for it to get fixed? I m experiencing the same problem
