Hello every one,
This is my first post here but I was trying to search Google in general and especially xda-developers but didn't find answer.
Ok, so I have new Galaxy S 3 from Polish provider Plus GSM. I rooted it and changed ROM at the beginning. I started with ENERGY HD 2.0 because it looks nice - and it's actually very good ROM imo, well done DakiX.
But one thing - why I can't find radio in it? I know, this might sound strange, but there is no radio. Yesterday I tried to change ROM, this time to MIUI Rayglobe. As you may probably know it has plenty of options before installation and there is one to install radio. I did it and it was working as charm so there is no problem with my device (as I hard some phones in US doesn't have this function at all).
Is it just my, I'm doing something wrong?
Thank you for any help and understanding.
Regards from Poland and best in 2013!,
Bartosz.

That "lol" is because it was obvious and I should know it?
Everything is working great, thank you very much!
So, apparently not everything is OK
Like you said, I directly copied FmRadio.apk to system/app using root explorer. And Radio FM icon appeared in application screen.
I turn turn it on easily - no prob. Please check the attachments.
But after turning it on with a button - after couple of sec it's closing and I got notification "Radio FM application was stopped":
Strange fact - I can still hear noise in headphones, even after this error!
So I tried to reopen radio, but all I get is black screen and same notify after 5 sec.
I know this is weird, but maybe there is "another" RadioFM app? I really don't know what is going on here and why it doesn't want to work.
I'm the only one with such strange issue?

Put the app in the custom rom by opening the rom zip and while its open copy to System / apps then flash the rom .

Sounds like you broke your settings, just pull the settings apk from the original rom zip and push it to your phone then reboot.

Forgive me if I may sound a little dumb here but how do you pull it from the original rom then push to phone?......
I am sure one of the fonts did that. it has happened to me before. To pull somethiong out of rom just unzip it. Settings.apk is in system/app folder.
Awesome fonts. Thanks!!

Very nice. Thanks for this. I was so tired of the same s**t!
one of these fonts seem to crash your phone and give you force closing. IDK which one yet but if i find out i will post. If anyone else knows please let me know

YES PLEASE I redid everything on my phone and its great again but i would love to use a different font but i do not want to use this zip until someone can pin point the problem
the ajax font crashed my settings, i repeat do not install the ajax font, it will crash your phone and constant FC of your display settings, i extracted the original settings .apk from my rom and pushed over and rebooted, that does not work...still FC... not cool...
I pinpointed the one that's causing the force closes. can't remember the exact name because I deleted it right when I discovered which one it was. I do believe it had something like "7con in it. Or something to that extent. Hope this helps everyone that's having this issue.

Uninstall it using Titanium or super manager or whatever you use and it ll be back to normal.
I unistalled them all using Titanium and was able to open up my display settings again.
Edit: post before me beat me to it.
yeah, that doesn't work, i uninstalled all of them hours ago...tried to push the settings apk over using root explorer but root explorer wont allow me to mount the system folder to rw just stays ro, i pushed settings.apk over to the data folder where app is and that did nothing after i replaced settings.apk...should i unistall settings.apk from titanium then reinstall settings.apk from my rom zip? i try to reinstall the settings.apk and it will not allow me to do so..now my launcher is freezing up and force closing on reboots...
Woops same problem. Is it the ajax apk?

can someone help me, i cant get adobe flash to work on virusrom
have you fix permissions in rom manager? fixed flash for me
i tried it and nothing changed
I'm on virusrom and have no problems with flash.
On another note, where is the host file for virus rom? What folder has the file that lists all that ads that are blocked from apps and browsers. I can't seem to find it anywhere.

OK try this. Use root explorer or titanium backup and delete adobe flash. Then try downloading it again from the market.

well, just to let u know when i tried that route it got a bit tricky...make the app folder full R/W and then go to Titanium Backup and delete it, u will need to reboot so the R/W takes effect and then download Flash Player off the market, should install no problem
Edit: The reason u R/W is because when u delete it and try to reinstall it seems to always be unsuccessful on the install...this method fixed it for me
a couple other q's
1) My font color in the notification pulldown is black, with the dark colored pulldown it's really hard to see (especially if i'm outside) .... can I change that text color to white, or a brighter color? ....or did I do something wrong?
2) My keyboard is still the standard keyboard and not the black and blue keyboard from the screenshot ... I really want that keyboard! ....what did I miss??
3) I really like that twitter widget that is in the screenshot on VR page....but I don't have that....how do I get it???
....I probably have more q's, but I can't think of them right now....I couldn't post this in the VR page because I'm a new member and xda won't allow it yet :/
anyone out there??
unfortunately I can't post this to the actual VR forum since I'm a new member with under 10 posts...
...so I'll get my reply, or 10 posts, either way ... it's all good!
thought of another issue...don't think it's the rom because I was having the same issue with tesla coil....my bluetooth headphones disconnect all the time .... never had this problem before tbolt; dx stayed connected, so I don't know what it is about the bolt that would make that happen...
Thought of another issue, ..this thread is dead...
the good news is ...i'm almost at 10 posts
looks like I can't delete these posts...
I am sorry, I know this is annoying...I would just like to be able to post in the other threads...
number 10 .
didn't work ...so now I guess i have another question ....why can't I post in the VR thread!!!???!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi all,
Just moved to the S2 from a horrible Moto Razr experience, very glad and loving the community here
I'm on stock ICS and Chainfire Root and am unable to install APK's downloaded from outside the Market:
Launching the .apk file opens the permissions dialogue, but once I'm there clicking on the "Install" button just doesn't do anything. No errors, nothing.
Been looking everywhere for an answer, tried moving the apk out of the SD to internal storage, to different folder, ticked/unticked/ticket "unknown sources", unmounted/mounted again, redownloaded the APK and nothing.
Hi.. DId you try to reboot the phone? i was facing the same issue where any app i tried to install just didnt get installed. The install button was not greyed out however it acted as though it was.
I rebooted the phone and poof! the issue was gone! havent faced it again yet...
Try it and let me know!
Cheers!

Hi buddy and thanks. Tried that many times and still no go.
Might reflash ICS/Root, but would rather avoid having to do that if a simpler solution exists

May be you need to push in system/app and not install?

I had the same problem when i rooted my phone and didnt flash any custom ROM. I just installed MIUI, and poof, issue gone. You may want to flash a different ROM, or try just factory resetting your phone ?
turn off screen filter
if you're having screen filter, turn it off and see whether this helps
happened to me too, after turning it off everything worked fine

I was trying to disable the shutter and focus sound settings of my camera when I messed it up.
Device: Samsung galaxy s2
Android Version: 4.1.2
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-Jeboo_Kernel_v1.2a+..........
Service provider: Optus Australia
Okay! I hope that the above detail is sufficient now let me tell you what I did wrong.
I was successful in getting rid of the shutter sound and I was reading around to find a solution for disabling the focus sound too. Followed this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058850) to disable the camera focus sound and probably I have lost my camera.
1. I first copied the SamsungCamera.apk file to a my internal SD card folder (Using ES Fileexplorer).
2. I unzipped the newly copied folder using the same ES fileexplorer.
3. Entered the folder name raw and deleted the focus.ogg sound files.
4. Zipped it back together using the ES fileexplorer and named it as SamsungCamera.apk
5. Again back to system\app and deleted the factory SamsungCamera.apk file
6. Copied the edited SamsungCamera.apk to the system\app folder.
7. Tried to install the app -Unsuccesful
8. Camera is not working anymore:crying:
Please help!

That's easy -- just restore the original SamsungCamera.apk file, which you backed up before making any changes to it. You did back it up, right?

Yeah, I was expecting that... Here is the file I saved at some point from the stock 4.1.2:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2594409/SamsungCamera_Stock_4.1.2.apk
When you copy it to the /system/app folder (rename it to SamsungCamera.apk), make sure you set the right permissions (-rw-r--r--), and don't try installing it -- just reboot the phone.

Any idea how I can get rid of the focus beep? I got into trouble just trying to get rid of the annoying beeps.
The process what I followed to get rid of focus beep makes sense, but after I pack it together and replace it in the app folder it is not working!

Glad it's working!

Hi, do you think you could please help me.I am having a bit of trouble installing this mod. I saved the zip to my sd, then i put my phone in recovery mode. Then i pressed "apply update from external storage" and chose the zip. This dosn't install it i just get an error. What am i doing wrong?
Edit: Don't worry i figured out what I did wrong i didn't have cwm recovery installed
Will this work for SII LTE SGH-I727R also?
I've been without a camera on my Rogers Samsung Galaxy SII LTE SGH-I727R for months now. It was working fine for a long time and one day just stopped working. I never dropped it and I always had it in a protective shell. Whenever I start the Camera app (or any app that uses the 8mp back camera) it just hangs up and then gives me a 'Unfortunately, Camera has stopped' error and crashes. The front camera still works in applications like Skype. Device is running Android 4.1.2
So far I've tried:
* 'Clear data' and 'Force stop' the Camera (v1.5) app in Applications. The cache is always 0.00 so I can't clear it.
* Software factory reset (several times, sometimes entering setup data, other times leaving it blank, sometimes connecting to wifi and trying to get an update etc)
* Recovery mode and Hardware factory reset
All produce the same error so I was wondering if I should try this camera rom? Will it work for the SGH-I727R?
Was also thinking about flashing it with Cyanogenmod 10.2, mostly to play with CM but also to see if that for some reason fixes it.

I don't get what you mean by almost normal.
What I mean is that it didn't work flawlessly, it froze from time to time, but most of the time it worked good.
Hi all
A couple a weeks ago i've downloaded a rom ported from Note3 to W200s @ needrom.com [W200S_N3.zip].
It seemed to be a nice one, until i tested the Torch app. As i opened the app and on the flashlight, turned the back of the phone to me, i watched clearly the flashlight dimmed before my eyes.
At first i didn't care much about it, just thought that when i flashed my twrp backup it would all back to normal...
But no... The flashlight is dimmed since then, despite all my attemps....
Here you so, some of my fails
- Flashed StockROM - Still dimmed
- Flashed all the W200S ROMs available - Still dimmed
- Edit the scatter-file to include hidden partitions
misc.img, pro_info, seccfg, expdb, protect_f, protect_s
Got a hold at another w200s, backup those partitions and flashed them all... Still dimmed
Right now, i'm running out of ideas...
But, before i send my phone to replace the flashlight LED, i'm creating this thread as my last hope...
I know there's other users out there that happend this, i saw their reports on the site...
However, the user who posted the ROM, deleted it. So the issue was silenced....
Plz, lets gather here and try to find a fix for this issue... if there is one...
Thanks
Admins:
I apologize if the thread isn't on the right place...
If possible, move it to the thread to its right spot, thanks
same problem
Hello
I have the same problem with the same ROM(W200S_N3.zip).
I have done the same things
-Flashed StockROM - Still dimmed
-Flashed all the W200S ROM's available - Still dimmed
I have contacted with the site from which I have purchased the mobile but they only replied that I should try another programm for the flash. The only thing that I need is to find the specs of the flash ion order to find the same one and replace it.

after reading your post i've made some research and came up up with this:
Kevin TeslaCoil @ said:
stackoverflow.com
HTC has an alternative API that supports this, however it's only on HTC Sense devices, and as of Gingerbread they've changed the permissions so it's only for their Flashlight app, not third party ones (unless you use root).
But on 2.2 HTC devices you can use it by writing a string to /sys/devices/platform/flashlight.0/leds/flashlight/brightness. This controls if the LED is on and how bright it is. For maximum brightness write "128\n", half brightness write "64\n". Easy to test from adb shell:
echo "128" > /sys/devices/platform/flashlight.0/leds/flashlight/brightness
And finally turn it off by writing "0\n" there.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So it seems to be possible to change the brightness of the flashled.
Of course this info is for a competely diferent device with yet another android version...
But i'm pretty that we should have a similar folder and file on our phones that can allow this... maybe where the flashlight app itself changed the settings...
I need your help to find out this file...
I'm using a root file explorer and still didn't find anything similar...
Lets try this one last time before throw our phones against some wall...

I have the same issue but mine doesn't work at all.
There's a /sys/class/flashlightdrv/kd_camera_flashlight and a /sys/devices/platform/kd_camera_flashlight.0 (which might actually be the same directory) but it doesn't have a brightness entry. I'm going to return my W200S for one where the flash works
