Camera Problems Safestrap/GE Rom/ML2 - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I recently flashed GoldernEye Rom 22 and everything is great, except the camera. I for the life of me cannot get any camera to work or any patches to work. anytime i open a Camera APK they stop working. or only the front camera works.
Setup
s4 Active ATT
ML2 Baseband
Safestrap 3.71
Golden Eye Rom (GE-i337-NAA-21-Safestrap with the following Zips
*jflteatt-active-ML2-modules+key_fix
*GE-SLiM-F4ST-ADV
*Volume_Boosting_Sound_Moderate
Did I flash the wrong Rom? do the camera patches not work with the ML2 Baseband? Im loosing sleep over this stuff!
any help is greatly appreciated. The Rom is fast, great on battery, and very minimalist once all the Bloatware is removed. Best Rom i have flashed thus far except for my camera problem.

Gonna bump this, since I am having the same problem. Flashed HyperDrive via safestrap, and no working camera. Tried flashing a ML2 patch, but no dice. Anyone have any information on this?

@spegelius is working on fixing the camera for the i9295. You might want to check with him and see if he'll put together a flashable zip for you to try. The camera patches that exist now are based on @LeJay camera fix for 4.2.2/CM 10. It seems like the existing camera patches should work, but Samsung may have changed some things between 4.2.2 and 4.3. Hopefully you can get a hold of @spegelius, he's your best bet.

I am on the SGH-i537, but if I read everything correctly so far, the hardware is not different...correct? If so, I'd be willing to test out any zips the devs need testing. What is needed? Libs from the stock or more?

Droid Bionic camera fix

Whenever there is a camera fix for kexec, ics, cm9 anything like that. Will someone please contact me & tell me how to fix it?! It will complete my life!! Thanks in advance.
I wasn't aware there was any issues with the camera for the ICS leaks. However if you're using a certain rom and having camera issues I would suggest you find the support site where you downloaded the rom rom and asking there. You're not really giving any specific roms you're having issues with so there is no much way of helping us help you. As far as Kexec the only roms I'm aware that's currently using that is the JB roms which are in alpha stages and if I do recall...they state that camera is not working. Was the camera working before you decided to jump onto a rom or leak or w/e?
Any rom I flash through kexec has camera, screenshot & freezing & crashing issues. The camera is completely thrashed on cm9 & cm10. They won't even open. There was a lot of issues when I went from 232 to 2233.

2233 is a older build then 232. move to 232 and dont go past untill the OTA. everthing works on the stock ROM. cameras are broken in kexec build of CM10. im not sure about the kexec build of CM9. non kexec builds of CM9 have a working camera. hope that helps you
Thank you!!

[Q] Can't Find Camera Error 4.3

Okay so I just flashed my phone to the stock GE 4.3 RUU, as per the guide in the original android dev forum. So far everything is amazing, apart from the camera.
Every time I try to load it, it says it can't find camera and then gallery bugs out on me and both camera and gallery crash.
Can anyone help me out, maybe provide me with a 4.2.2 camera apk to see fi that might help?

Okay looks like there was a bug in the RUU, I believe it is patched now but the way I got round it was the flash the 4.2.2 stock and then upgrade through OTA to 4.3

Camera not working in 4.1.2

I have to use 4.1.2 becuase of GSM. (I cannot use 4.3/4.4 because it will connect to T-Mobile HSPA but not send/recieve data.) Camera will work on 4.3 and 4.4 easily. But, on 4.1.2 using stock deodexed, it won't start the camera. The camera just force closes. I am on the first firmware, too.

Yeah, I have even tried that.
If you sent your phone in for repairs or got it new post the camera fix then the camera module isn't backward compatable with some roms like miui u will not get access to the back camera

Hmm that shouldn't be happening. Kind of strange. A possible solution however, is to flash the latest firmware, but I'm not sure how that would react to the old Android version. So if you want to be adventurous, try that out. If not though, go to Sprint/HTC and get it fixed from them.
After using SVN checkout on that Sense 5 and 4.2.2 ROM, and installing it camera worked. But only the front facing one, and it had the pink tint (I fixed it by changing settings though). I tried replacing libs from newer ROMs and made it worse. So, I'm getting close.

I have the same issue that you did. I cannot upgrade my android version cause of GSM and my camera isn't working would you be kind enough to explain how you were able to fix it, I would really appreciate it, thank you

Q&A for [ROM][OFFICIAL][KitKat 4.4.4][jactivelte] PAC-man 4.4.4.RC-1
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
I just wanted to say thank you,
im a typical leecher or lurker of xda.
Kept my SGS2 always up2date due to this awesome community work.
After i got my S4A i always had problems with costum roms with network / processing / non-booting / bootlooping or whatever....
This ROM is just perfect. Everything runs smooth so far. No unexpected errors. Just like i love it.
Download, Wipe, Install, WORKS!
Thanks for your work!

Not sure what to advice on problems report for nightly not yet built. (Nov. 14th) 14.11 is next week
Generally speaking don't jump into advice to Odin flash latest modem.bin and specific NOT NON-HLOS.bin to fix anything. It can create more issues.
When switch between different AOSP /CM based roms (your forum history tell you have been in PAC world lately) a thorough clean-up is best advice. CWM format data, dalvik, cache and /system before CWM flash latest cm-11-20141103 and latest gapps. Or I can confirm CM11 - 1029 with Location mode =device only lock fast on Glonass and US sat.
I have never flashed any modem or NON-HLOS.bin separately to fix whatever.
Sorry, actually i am on cm-11-20141104... So i will try clean my System an re-flash it. Ty

Wifi issues
Hi guys,
i'v got a problem regarding wifi activation/connection. I flashed the latest RC of the pac man ROM, which is btw awesome, and after a couple of days i'm not able to activate my wifi again. It happend over night and after I tried to reactivate it, it just shows me the status that "wifi will be activated" but nothing happens. Is this a well-known issue? Are there any fixes for this?
Thanx in advance for reply!!!

Nope, the i537 has a locked bootloader, so you cannot use any ROM that requires a custom kernel. Start reading about SafeStrap, it's your only choice.
What about the i537?
If this rom doesnt work with it then what does? I really want to run Pac Roms on this phone, because I love how well it runs on my nexus tablet. I just cant find roms for this thing anywhere!

You need to search for SafeStrap compatible ROMs. You'll probably find them in the AT&T S4 forum.
A lot of people have good things to say about Hyperdrive.

Nope, you can use this ROM, you'll just need to put in the T-Mo APN settings in order to connect to the T-Mo network.
help me!
Friends, this powerful this ROM, I love, but I have a problem with the camera. sometimes it tells me that my camera could not connect, anyone have any advice to give solution to my problem. I also want to know if it is possible to flash the camera's native s4 active beforehand grace.
Same problem on camera, i think it's related to porting, some libs not perfect.
Usually i made a fast reboot (not fully) and then works .
For flashing native camera, i think that will not work cause many tw files are missing.

Lollipop link not working. File not found???
5.1 working quite smoothly after 3 days. No camera bugs, speakers ok too. The only issue I´ve found so far is battery drain compared to CM12 which I used until last week.
security lock gesture
i am currently using pacman rom jactivelte kitkat 4 .4 .4 thanks to you guys this for all the roms i try pacman is the best thats why i update for lolipop and flash this also. iwant ton stay with this rom . but the problem is when i will put the scurity there is no choices of gesture lock wich i use on kitkat pacman. asking if there is an update for this

Is there a custom ROM for the P880 WITHOUT a LOT of problems?

I try ROMs and ROMs and ROMs and all are unusable, because the
phone freezes with nameless-5.1.1-20151107-p880-nightly or
reboots when starting apps with euphoria-os-1.1-p880-unofficial-20160208-user or
is extremely slow and is stottering with aosplp-20151122-p880
a..s.o
The apps which lead to a reboot with euphoria work fine with aosp and nameless. Euphoria is fast, faster than nameless, which would be fast enough for me. There are no problems which exist with every ROM.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a ROM for the P880 which works without big problems. At the moment I think about to go back to 4.4 and try beanstalk-4.4.4010-20140904-p880cm
Of course I would be happy to find a ROM with fixed stagefright-bugs, but it looks like to be impossible

Check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66049970&postcount=1195
This is the latest 5.1.1 ROM with security patch level at 2016-04-01. It has all known stagefright bugs fixed so far.
If you wish to report issues on the ROM I shared, then use the thread over there, not here.
MoltenMotherBoard is the last custom ROM that I miss to test. I'm going to try it in the next days.
According to my test, my answer to the thread question is: NO, there's no custom rom working fine for my daily use.
Actually fastest rom was liquid smooth 4.4.4. Our phone hardware outdated. Like the others said this phone is crap
I'm running Euphoria version 1.0-p880-20150130 (Android 5.0.2), it's the best Lollipop based custom ROM for our device in my opinion. Unlike AOSP it has more settings (& features), and it's more stable than later versions of Euphoria. If you want to stick to KitKat, check out the latest CM nightlies.
To be honest, after 2 years of testing custom ROM... today i finally found the best one to keep... STOCK!!!
I've re-discovered the pleasure of see who is calling me at once, not after 20 seconds. I can finally take photos, hear who is calling, open apps without having to wait like 20-30 seconds.
I appreciate the effort of every developer... but at the end, the result is that out of 20-30 custom ROMs for our phone... no one can be used for daily use and being happy with it

having JellyBean running on your device in 2016 is a very very very bad idea.
Here's the issues I found with LG stock JB-4.1.2 ROM v20 euro-open. If you can live with them, then good for you.
- Bluetooth button action broken. Cannot invoke Google Search or Voice Dialer from bluetooth headsets. Fixed in custom ROM such as CM/AOSP KK and LP.
- No update for Google Maps. Version 7 is the final version for v20c. Fixed in CM/AOSP KK/LP.
- No notification from Lock Screen. Fixed in CM/AOSP LP.
- No smart lock to avoid the hassle of entering PINs for known location and known BT device. Fixed in CM/AOSP LP.
- No screen cast. Fixed in AOSP LP.
- No bluetooth tethering. Fixed in AOSP LP.
Actually I'm on stock now (euro 20c), and my version of Maps is 9.25.1.
But yes, you're right...I'm ok because for instance I don't use bluetooth at all.
I still miss to test "AOSP Lollipop 5.1.1 | MoltenMotherBoard"...but my question is: is smooth as the stock? Are these working ? camera, flash, barcode, dialer reader, calls in general..
thanks in advance

When I was still on LG stock JB, Maps somehow got updated. But then the device slowed to crawl and I factory reset it and I didn't get Google Play store to update it again. Glad you have it and it works for you.
Barcode and FM radio are not working. If these 2 are important to you, then you should stick with LG stock.
For UI smoothness, I think Lollipop itself has made tons of improvement that it is at least the same or better than JB. Don't take my words for it, you should try it out yourself and pass on the judgement.
