This has been bothering me lately. When I open my Instagram (using xperia ray latest Gingerbread stock ROM), and go to "Photo Maps", a dialog box appears saying "Photo Maps requires that the Google Maps Android API is installed on your device
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Google Maps and Instagram, I restarted my device too. But it doesnt solve the problem.
I tried checking /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar , I thought I lost this file but the file is there..
This is a rare problem and I only found 2 search results on Google about this problem, and both were found on XDA forum. One had his problem solved by placing this .jar file there. The other one tried placing the .jar file but no luck.
It's bothering me. Because I think it will affect other application that uses google maps. But I'm not sure. And I don't want to reinstall the whole ROM because I have partitioned my SD card, put many stuff in it, I dont want to start it all over just because of this small problem.
Thank you very much in advanced.
I am having the same problem, but it has caused me to realize that I cannot download most things that have a main function that utilises the gmaps API... I'm running a CM9 fork, though, so I expect that to be the cause. Furthermore, I tried to replace the files and gapps installation through recovery, it yields no changes. I see no new files, which is odd imo... Placing the JAR through a file manager and rebooting doesn't change anything for me either. Would love a followup because I too have seen the threads Fun is talking about but I have also seen at least a dozen on here that have gone unanswered
yes. Someone has to got to have the solution. So bump.
bump... i guess? I havent been able to fix this. Althoug a simple flash will fix this, I'm curious that we can fix this.
Still having this issue myself.
Running CM10.1 on my Galaxy SII (i9100P), although its not just with my current ROM that I'm having the issue. Tried refladhing ROMs and GAPPS but no joy. Countless data/cache wipes have done notjing to fix it. Also tried the.jar solution but did nothing.
Really annoys me that I can't find a solution.
No one any ideas on what this could be?
Hi guys,
First of all, thanks for the great community, good to be here
I've just got my mediapad at a bargain as 2nd hand and installed 'CleanICE 1.5 Rom (ICS 4.0.3). It has a really great response and installed with such little effort on my part so cheers h25p. I considered a couple other ROMS too, particularly the one posted by 'after_silence', http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856571 CM10 but it is said to have issues with HDMI out (which is an important feature to me) so I haven't tried that one yet.
What I'm trying to do now is boot in to Recovery (so I can install GoogleNow as per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843457) but can't seem to figure it out for this ROM.
Has anyone had success doing so with ICS? Or better yet, anyone with experience of the 'glitchy HDMI' on the CM10 Jellybean ROM (is it really bad or is it workable most of the time)?
Cheers guys!
[edit]
used auto recovery installer and got CWM on the device now (after_silence provides link to it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856571)
i thought installing that would wipe everything else so to other newbies, don't be concerned. it's just installing the recovery manager and nothing else is affected
after that i went and installed the 'GoogleNowforICSInstaller_v1.1.zip' (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843457) from sd card in CWM but sadly when it boots up there is still no google now. any ideas on where to proceed from here?
Maybe our recoveries doesn't support aroma installer. Try to flash twrp instead of cwm or put manually lib and apk/apks from zip to your system folder (same as it is located in zip), set perrmisions to apk and reboot.

thank you for your suggestion, it has got me one step closer (well I suppose anyway). perhaps from here it is just something to do with the gnow port just not being compatible with my rom? after I install it manually and recheck all the permissions via my file manager, whenever i go to google search it simply says "unfortunately, google search has stopped."
Try to find another moded version. I tried it on stock fw (ICS) few mounths ago and it worked.

Thanks, also posted a logcat dump for one of the Gnow developers and they said there was a lot of location / graphics card errors and also suggested to try another ROM. Ended up flashing JB 4.1.1 AOKP for mediapad 30.1 Final (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876676) and enjoying GoogleNow which comes built in with it.
So far I'm really surprised at how much better it is - initially thought my battery was failing ( purchased my device 2nd hand) but the drain is really low now with this ROM. Seems a bit faster over all too. Didn't test out the HDMI function yet but hope that's not as bad as it sounds. Keeping my eyes open on the development of the 4.2.2 nightlys thread and will probably head over to that once HDMI and bluetooth is working a bit better there
The AOKP build works great except for the constant disappearing keyboard that is about to make me kick puppies. I saw the note to install the wingray google apps to avoid the disappearing keyboard that is synonymous with the recommend gapps to use, but my dumb ass forgot and installed the recommenced apps and I surely do have the constant disappearing keyboard issue. I have flashed the "gapps-jb-20130129-P75xx" zip but still have the issue. Do I have to wipe everything and start over? Does flashing the new gapps zip not overwrite the "gapps-4.2.2-jb-3.4.2013-signed" I originally installed? It seems not to, but wanted confirmation before wiping everything again.
You should wipe everything and start over. IMHO.
Full wipe and used the "gapps-jb-20130129-P75xx". Disappearing keyboard will no longer boil my blood.
For reference, never use the "gapps-4.2.2-jb-3.4.2013-signed".
Glad I stumbled onto this thread. Exactly the problem, keyboard, (well one of them anyway) I am having.
Well for me I can't find anything to fix the disappearing keyboard issue. I tried using the suggestions above. No help. After finding more and more posts in the same subject on different boards it seemed only the Wingray gapps is the one that works properly. Just tried that one and it doesn't seem to fix the issue either. Tried several of the newer nightly ROMs too.
One suggestion was to download the Go keyboard. That didn't help either.
Dang how hard can this be? I have flashed and wiped cache so many times lately. lol
The problem why is exactly explained in nakedninja's 4.2.2 thread, you should read before you install anything

Unfortunately that thread content has not helped in my case. I found that thread early on and have tried to follow the directions. So either I'm missing something or not doing something correctly it appears.
Someone in another forum suggested I try the free Jellibean keyboard.
I had this issue too with AOKP 4.2.2. I have not reflashed another new gapps yet, as I found re-installing a third-party keyboard which I liked from previous use solved the problem.

Well whatever I did I finally fixed it. I ended up simply formatting the internal SD card. Poof, everything gone. Had to restore from backup default ROM. Once the stock firmware was up and running I followed the procedures again. Wiped, cleared cache multiple times and when it was all done installing there is no more keyboard issue as of now.
I loaded the 4/08/2013 nightly ROM and Wingray gapps(which I've already tried multiple times). So all is well in Tablet land again.
Would post in the pac-man thread, but have less than 10 posts.
Recently flashed the latest version of pac-man from pio (6/11). Did a clean flash. When i went to install titanium backup, I got an error that the device isn't rooted. Looks like there is no superuser app installed.
Is this an issue where pio accidentally failed to include superuser? Is it something i can download and sideload?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!

Its integrated into the ROM now, I couldn't forget it if I wanted to. This happens on occasion, you can either flash it yourself as suggested or flash the ROM again, either should get it going.

Thanks! Worked great. i flashed it myself, but I see from the main thread that I should delete the app before flashing the next update.
Didn't mean to impugn your awesome dev skills by saying "forget." was actually meant in jest, but i see that didn't come across in the OP.
Thanks again for a fantastic rom!!!

I didn't take offense to it, just stating its built in now, where it used to be an app by itself, which could be forgotten lol

Pio- I'd post into the Pac Man thread but I'm still not at 10 posts yet. I downloaded and flashed your ROM maybe 20 hours ago, and I don't have SU either. Was it updated between then and now? My time zones are off...
Also, I'm getting some app FCs, specifically Google Play Music>My Library. I did a clean install and I'm using crpalmer's kernel. I've seen people talking about this specific bug as far back as 5/8 in the CM thread, but no one's posted about it recently. Do you know if this was fixed/is it CM/is it crpalmer's kernel? Music is probably one of my most essential apps...
BTW great work this ROM is awesome

The issue you mention aren't app FC, they simply close, vanish, no FC message, you have a different issue that requires more information before I'll hazard a guess. If you read anything in the PAC thread you'll see what I want in a post saying there's an issue.

Well, this is what I came up with as far as bug reporting in your posts:
Q. I want to report an issue, can I just post it in your thread without reading or doing any basic troubleshooting, googling, reading or wiping?
A. Well you CAN, you may be ignored or flamed for it. Please read above, and please read the Bugs and Change Log lists before reporting anything. Please flash a clean download, flash a clean wipe, and don't restore stuff from TiBu, thats basic troubleshooting, check if the issue persists, if it does, then feel free to post about it.
I always read the bugs and change logs, that's one of my criteria for picking a ROM. I downloaded your PAC-Man ROM last night, put it on my SD card, along with inverted and regular Gapps. I wiped data, cache, and dalvik. Then I flashed your ROM, then the inverted Gapps and rebooted. Decided I didn't like the inverted, booted back into recovery, wiped data, cache, dalvik again. Flashed regular, most recent Gapps. Rebooted again. Thought about it, and then decided to try crpalmer's kernel. AGAIN, wiped data, cache, and dalvik before flashing. Everything seemed fine, I began installing apps from the play store (I don't use anything to back up apps, no TiBu or anything) and went to bed. It wasn't until this morning when I was setting up my BT in the car and opened Play Music for the first time. I can play music, I can search, I can go to radio, etc. It only crashes/closes/disappears if I go to My Library. I don't have SU either which I noticed at work today, which is what lead me to post here in the first place.
That's as descriptive as I can be. I hope it helps

Very nice lol
The most recent PAC has a broken super user, flashing a super user zip will work or you can use the previous build where the integrated super user works. There was a link posted in the main PAC thread as well as here in this thread I think.
Google music library does seem to be problematic, though it may be halo related, Google music has had issues on alot of the AOSP type ROMs from streaming to vanishing to now having library issues, it seems to occur more on local files vs cloud, though.
Does this occur on the stock kernel also? I know you mentioned flashing crpalmers kernel, just wondering.

Well I know very little about Halo, but I can say that I was able to stream just fine over 4g if I played the music without going through the My Library tab (search, Listen Now, etc.). I didn't have any local files at all since it was just after a wipe.
I did another clean install of your ROM last night, flashed the Gapps from goo.im, and DID NOT flash crpalmer's kernel. Same issue

I assume you mean Play Music. All my apps are up to date, though. I'm on my lunch break now I'll try wiping the app's data and cache, see if that works, and if not I'll uninstall it, reinstall and see if there's any difference.
UPDATE: Neither of the above attempts solved it. Also Play Music > Radio causes the same kind of close. Now I can't remember if it did it before or not. I also noticed that there was a "blacklist Halo notifications" option, I tried that as well to no effect.
OK so for the developers, the apps just closing like that, was a few commits to cm10.1 source, particularly bionic and dalvik, some optimisations regarding krait CPU stuff got applied to all phone types which caused the issue,
Superuser pac-man source fixed that issue a day or 2 ago in vendor-pac and settings

Yeah this is all known, for whatever reason the changes made weren't merged like I thought they would be so the issue persisted and I just haven't had time build another one, the workaround for now is sufficient.

Hi, a few days ago my phone camera fault, I get a notice saying "error connecting to camera", so I did a logcat to see what happened but I honestly don't know how to read it and thus can not understand where is the reason for the problem so that's why I put this here so that any experienced user help me and tell me what is the problem... Here is the log http://pastebin.com/print.php?i=rXU9DwAc
Thanks for your time guys!
PS: the front camera and flashlight also don't work, I try flashing another rom but didn't work (CyanogenMod 10.1)
Well at face value, e.g. taking the error literally.. a bug caused a java error keeping the camera app from loading properly. Specifically an empty string value that throws an exception.
Now you have to place that in a context. If it was a one time error.. don't worry about it. If it is repeatable, it could be a bug, conflict, corrupted install, et cetera. A logcat is just a detailed log of what the OS and drivers were doing to provide clues for troubleshooting. Do a search for the CM build you have and see if anyone else is having issues. If so, that suggests a bug. Otherwise you can try disabling other apps that may be conflicting.
You implied that this is a recent problem.. so corruption or a conflict seem more likely. Did this happen after a recent flash or installing a new app? If you flashed a new CM build, did you wipe the cache? If not, I'd suggest that you If not, consider reflashing your ROM, ensuring that you wipe the cache data to see if that resolves the issue. It seems odd if you had a stable configuration and reflashing doesn't resolve the issue.. at least temporarily. Look for a pattern or missed step, like not wiping the cache.

Well none of those, I was on a stock rom (I flash a few tweaks for improve the net speed and things like that) and suddenly the camera error starts so I flash a cm rom for try to solve the problem but seems to not work ( I make all the wipes correctly)

The essence of troubleshooting is looking for patterns.. which point us towards the ultimate cause of a problem. If I had a java error, the first thing I would try is simply rebooting the phone. If it continued, I would suspect a conflict (if I had recently installed an app or changed some settings). So.. try reversing those tweaks and see if that clears that error. Less common would be corruption.. and you might test that by flashing back to the same stock ROM if it was working fine before you saw the issue.
Flashing to a different CM ROM wouldn't be a first step. It might work. But you don't gain much knowledge if it doesn't as a new ROM introduces a host of new variables as well. If the cause of the issue is unclear, you want to confront the most obvious suspects first and try to change only one variable at a time. In your place, i'd go back to the stock ROM.. confirm that the camera works properly again. Then restore your tweaks one by one watching to see when the problem recurs.
Good luck
