[Q] CDMoncrieff 4.2.2 ROM vs "SGA" and "shumash" ROMs?

I do not have enough posts to ask this question in CDMoncrieff's 4.2.2 ROM thread so I will ask it here. What is the difference between CDMoncrieff's latest 4.2.2 ROM, SGA, and shumash 4.2.2. ROM? Are they all built on the same thing with slight tweaks?

What you should understand is that the Touchpad is heavily dependent on pre-built drivers and libraries. Therefore, many of the different ROMs end up being a reinterpretation of the UI only. In short they're built from pretty much the same device source with a few differences here and there; pick the UI you like best.
shumash builds PAC, with which you have all the PA settings, CM settings, and AOKP settings. It's very customizable.
-SGA- built SlimROM which is AOSP based and has a different variety of custom appearance features and settings.

FWIW, I installed CDMoncrieff's AOSP build yesterday (was on SickleROM before this). I am really happy with it. Have not found any issues so far at all. Schizoid listed some conflicts between settings, etc. So, CDMoncrieff's seemed cleaner to me.
The only thing I have not resolved till now is how to have TP not go to sleep while on touchstone. I can launch clock in night mode, but I want it to stay on the homescreen instead.
I have never had this problem with any of the previous ROMs till now. It is not a show-stopper however.
Unfortunately, I cannot post this in the dev forum because I don't have enough posts
I am keeping that as a daily driver until I hit a show-stopper bug.

Well, I hit the first snag. I cannot get the camera to work.
There was no camera included by default. I restored one from TiBu, and that did not work. Installed one from the play store (UCam) and that did not work either. CDMoncrieff's post mentions some problem related to camera preview rotation, but I can't get it to work in any mode.

In your app drawer, go to HP ToucPad Settings. Then click on the camera tab and make sure it indicates "front camera with mirrored preview(android default)”

It was already set to that. I switched it to webOS, and reverted it to Android. Rebooted. Still no luck.
Camera says "Camera has stopped"
UCam says cannot connect to the camera.

Googling reveals the setCameraMode API was deprecated at some point (early JB). So, maybe this build need a newer stock camera?

I think I figured it out. Somehow there were multiple cameras installed on my system.
Uninstalling the older one fixed it. Now, I know what the "rotated preview" problem means

Next issue: the maps don't seem to work. I have tried Google maps as well maps within other apps like zillow.

GIF question/problem??

Just wondering if anybody is having the same issue as myself. Everytime I send a gif through the stock messaging app it plays extremely fast. When I play them through the gallery they play normal, but it's only when I send one. Anybody might know the reason why.
Thanks.

Anybody??

I'm having the same issue idk y. I bought my note 8 two weeks ago and was able to make and send GIFs without a problem. Now when I make them they are at normal speed but when I send them it's faster and ruins the point of me sending it in the first place.

Never figured it out. I switched to Android Messages till there is a possible solution. All the 3rd party messaging services work fine.

That sucks that we have to use 3rd party messengers. I wonder if anyone else is having this issue. Also does the right side of you phone have light bleed?

Yeah I have this same issue, GIFs play really fast in the stock messenger. I don't really care, I rarely send GIFs anyway.
Here's a thought, it might play really fast for us, but ask the receiver & see if it plays fast for them. I suspect that it doesn't for them so it's not as much as a problem but who knows.

They play fast for the receiver as well. Obviously a issue with Samsung messaging service. I don't send many gifs, but it is annoying that they do not work properly.

That sucks, oh well. Thanks for confirming.

Mines play fast as well to the people I send them to. I like making GIFS so this is very upsetting to me. Don't even get me started on the light bleed, other than those two major issues I love my note 8.

I sent my brother a gif & live message gif yesterday, he said it seems to play normal for him. The gif I sent plays way to fast on my phone (in the native messager) to make out what's going on but he was able to tell what happened in the gif. He's got a LG on Verizon though & I'm on Tmobile, not sure if carrier would have anything to do with it.
Next time he comes over I'll test again & have a look for myself on his phone to confirm.

I too have the issue I see it as way to fast while some receive it fine and others don't! I guess maybe I need to experiment to see who and why!

It is very strange. It has to have something to do with the way it is sent through the native messaging app. When I make a gif it plays normal in the gallery, but when it is sent through the Samsung messaging app it plays at a ridiculous speed. What carrier do y'all have? I'm on Verizon.

The Samsung messenger compresses the hell out of it too. You can easily notice the huge difference in quality when viewing the original from the gallery & the sent copy in the messenger. Receiving ends receives the compressed copy also. So perhaps the compression might have to do with it.

Using stock Messenger...sent to another N8 and also a V20. They all look the same. The same speed as the sending phone. FYI tho, the Live Message I sent was under 1MB...so that may have something to do with it. Like if you send one that is over 1MB, that may be the reason it looks all chopped up.

I don't know if any others have noticed this but my issue doesn't seem to be the Samsung stock messaging app playing the gifs too fast, but rather when attaching a gif using the Google gboard using the stock messaging app, the gifs are too fast. When I attach a gif using the stock Samsung keyboard, that now supports gif, the animation speed is correct. But use the Google gboard and hyperspeed animation! Just as a side note when I use the Google gboard with any other messaging app this issue is not replicated as all gifs animation speeds are correct it just seems to be the combination of Google gboard and the stock messaging app. Any others experiencing this?

Still playing them too fast here and dropping frames...ruining the gif. This is after Oreo update (N950FD, UAE).

Hey I am T-mobile Rep in utah, i just had a customer that had this issues. What i had him do is go into the app settings and uninstall all updates, and then re-install the updates. Its seemed to have worked.

The Google keyboard looks to be the issue on my galaxy s8. When choosing a gif through the Samsung keyboard (which you can now do) it works fine (using the stock messaging app). As soon as I try the same thing with the Google keyboard gifs speed up. I just wish the Samsung keyboard had a gif search feature like the gboard has

Which app?

Huawei P20 Pro Google Photos crashing issue

Preordered my p20 pro and was very excited. It's been an amazing phone. However, my default photo gallery has always been google photos, I have so many photos stored in the cloud through Google Photos. But the app on my p20 pro seems to not work, it constantly crashes. I've tried everything to fix it to my knowledge but nothing is working. After about 10 seconds it just crashes. I thought it was initially struggling when it said "getting photos" so I removed my google account, but the app still crashed!
Really frustrating, open to any suggestions and please let me know if you have the same issues, hopefully I'm not alone.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Mine works and loads, but swiping between photos is quite jittery...even though it was silky smooth on my old phone! Really disappointing software optimisation for a new phone

Mine won't even do as much as yours! So frustrating! Hopefully a future update will fix

Working fine here

All good for me too, finding it strange that some people are having issues that others don't have. It's smooth and fast loading for me just like Google maps, another app people are having trouble with.

I'm having trouble with Google maps

1.07 solves the maps issue. My photos working great.

It's pretty frustrating that we don't know when these updates will actually be live to every user...I haven't had any updates and am thinking of returning in my returns window just incase nothing comes through... Pretty frustrating!

I have no issue with Google Photos. It sync between my pixel 2 and p20 pro nicely. App performance is good with no crash as well.
I only had maps issue on .106 but .107 fixed it.

It's like that with pretty muchevery phone bar pixel and OnePlus. Always dependant on the network/carrier for them to get a move on and release the updates.
I'm still on the first firmware with Three but then again I don't really care so much as I am having none of the issues with Maps or Google Photos etc.
I had a sync issue with Chrome but I fixed it with a factory reset.

I'm still stuck on 102

Try turning off the smart resolution option and see if that resolved crashing or freezing issues. Then refresh the resolution by switching back and forth once to the one you want ... This fixed Google maps for me

For me it doesn't crash but switching between photos is always a little laggy. If I go to the playstore and uninstall the google photos updates the lag is gone. So for me it is working fine with an older version but not with the current one. A friend of mine has the exact same issue. We were both on .106 (dual sim) and now on .107.

Thanks for this! It's been bugging me seeing that lag
Hope they get their act together though

Still not working for me! Any other fixes for Google photos... Is there a way to get this reported properly?

Its look like its not the good cpu witch is used that why.. i dont find any fix. (i dont use this software...)

I get that it says to connect my charger to sync my photos. And when I do it still doesn't sync.
The thing is that the option for choosing sync when charging or not charging is gone from the app. And I want it to always sync, not only when charging!

How do I uninstall updates via Google Play? Having this problem too.

Facebook App appears twice on One UI launcher on Note 9

Hello,
I've noticed that ever since the last official OneUI updare for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 I get two options for opening facebook links that point to the same app. Is this safe or is my phone hacked/insecure? Android security patch level is July 2019.
Cheers!

humm maybe something having to do with dual messenger or something?
i dont use facebook but check that menu none the less.

Hi man, that was a good suggestion, I had no idea what Dual Messenger is, but after some digging I know now that it's used to access different accounts for some apps that would normally use just one login. Unfortunately it's off for both facebook and (facebook) messenger. So there might be something else, also the name of the app itself is the same.

maybe 1 old preloaded Facebook from stock and another from an other source(sideload or from an store like aptoide). just go to system /apps and delete/disable/uninstall it). if you see 2 then theres ure issue. uninstall both and get a fresh copy off of playstore. then check if it is still there 2x in ure choices when u open a link. if yes then i suspect you might have some other app maybe faking it? idunno...

i have the same issues. as we know that facebook came pre installed in our phone, so my guess is that one is the pre installed version and one is the version that got updated in playstore. this issue needs to be addressed by the samsung. hopefully in next update.

Updating "Feature for Facebook"

Everyone is getting that bug after 10.4 update. The only solution is to wait for the next update which is in development right now and may release Oct 2nd or 3rd week. Xiaomi released a beta ROM for devices and pulled it back. A stable one is on the way. Just wait.

damnnn...haha, i though its my own fault for messing apps, etc......turns out every one got the same issue. i have tried uninstall and install again. same problem still exists. im still curious whats causing all of this

if you don't have Facebook, you will get similar notifications but for other apps, like Netflix for example. And if you uninstall that too, it will be for Chrome...
No fix that i know of.

I also thought that i was the only one who is getting this message. I too uninstalled play store and Facebook and reinstalled them but still getting same error. Seems like OS bug after update to 10.4 as this wasn't the case for previous OS version.
Guess we will have to wait for another OS update

This is one of plenty of bugs in the 10.4 update which includes frequent restarts, overheating issues, fingerprint scanner slow etc. Hopefully the update will come this month and rectify all issues. Till then no option but to bear with the bugs.

I tried your way but still can not solve the problem.
I am using redmi k20 pro with eu xiaomi rom 9.11.7
From the beginning, i think using beta Facebook can solve the problem but 1 or 2 days later the issue is back and still happen.
Maybe you are lucky.

Unistal Facebook , clear cache / data in Facebook services (system app) , clear cache / data in Play Store . Then reboot phone and instal FB from play store .
