Hi,
I am using CM 9 (14th April nightly build). I flashed Siyah's kernel 3.1rc4. Everything seems to work fine with it. But then I flashed the Speedmod kernel (K3-9).
Now when my phone boots, I don't see any boot animation and as soon as the lockscreen appears I get lots of "has stopped working popups" for various services (phone, acore etc etc) and the phone is basically un-usable.
I tried flashing CM 9 again, so that I get Codeworx's kernel. I flashed Speedmod over it but still the same problem
Anyone here facing/faced a similar issue ?
Thanks!
why are you migrating yourself from no problems to problems,
forget the Kernel which is giving treble thats it...or you really want to know the reason ask in the speedmode kernel thread....

Oh that is sad ! Speedmod was the best kernel that I had on GB. That is why I wanted to try out the ICS version.

Because I haven't found a sweet spot yet. That is why I am experimenting with different kernels.

Will post in the speedmod thread. Just wanted to know if this was a generic problem with all kernels or just speedmod specific.
It says very clearly in the Speedmod thread that it works only on Samsung based firmwares. CM9, AOKP, etc... are not Samsung based firmwares, so not too surprisingly it doesn't work.

Hi. I wont introduce myself as there is no need for that, i'll just say that i have no how to PROPERLY install a ROM and Kernel on an Android. I know how to do it in Symbian S60V5, but that was ages ago.
I have a Galaxy Player 5.0 International, YPG70-EB confused
I already rooted it, but i dont like the TouchWiz 3.0 at all. I installed a custom TW 4.5, its much better but it crashes often. So i got rid of it.
Anyways, what is a Kernel? Do i need to put a custom Kernel? If yes, before the ROM or after the ROM? Do you install the both via ZIP file in
Android System Recovery (3e) ?
I'm sorry for being a total noob, i already tried this once and i hard bricked my Player. Cost me 20 euros to fix it.
Firmware version: 2.3.5
Kernel version: 2.6.35-G70XXKPF-CL562492 ([email protected] #2)
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXKPF (KPF, not KPH )
flash rj's kernel first through odin then flash a rom

Did that. Quite dissapointed that in the kernel thread, OP didnt say that Camera doesnt work.
I know that in CM9 camera isnt working, but before flashing ROM, i was in GB and it didnt work.
Camera is working.
try flashing again.

Link for custom ROMs
Go to this link. You can find all the custom ROMs as well as stock ones for the Samsung Galaxy Player. Note that the stock based ROMs are simply modified versions of stock firmware, most have alternate launchers installed. The non-stock based ROMs usually have some problems, so if you want a fully working ROM with cool tweaks, use a stock-based one.

I always use AOKP roms on my devices and since I have the i9300 I start to get "Can't connect to the camera" occasionally when I open the camera app. I have to restart the device to use the camera (or the torch) again.
I suppose it was a rom related problem, but while upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 (so new camera app) I saw the problem remain identical and I start investigate.
The problem is on the camera firmware, that is not placed on the filesystem, so it didn't changes between flashes.
EDIT: the problem is not completely solved, but is seems less frequent than before...
The only way to change it seems to flash a samsung stock rom (or a based one) and follow this steps:
dial *#34971539# in stock dialer
check your camera vendor using "Phone/CAM FW Ver Check" (the first two letter of "Cam FW Ver")
if you have a ZD* firmware download this file: View attachment ZDFF03.zip (thanks to GrayJack)
if you don't have a ZD* firmware you have to try yourself downloading from here or here (please report your results and I will update this post)
unzip the file SlimISP.bin in the root of your internal memory
dial *#34971539# again
upgrade yur camera fw using "Phone to CAM FW Write (Rear)"
restore your favorite rom
optional: press thanks/donate button :good:
Here's my tests on ZD camera + 4.2.1 AOKP

Hi,
i'm having the same issue, and I made a topic about it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37325700#post37325700
Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? I followed your instructions, but the FW write button stays disabled?
you have a ZH* firmware? which file you try to use?
the one attached in my post is for ZD* cameras and in the GrayJack/4PDA threads there is no trace of this vendor.
maybe there's a compatibilty check that keep the flash butto disabled and maybe you have a new hardware that didn't have an older firmware to flash?
It Works!
Heya, just wanted to let you know that this FW really fixed the camera issues on my S3.
I was running ZDFE02 and after updating to ZDFF03 all problems were gone.
Running CM10.1 now with Camera 4.2 and Photo Sphere.
Thank you for your great work!

Re: [SOLVED] "Can't connect to the camera" on CM/AOKP roms
When you say that with the FW trick the camera works perfect, does it include touch to focus with flash enabled?

hi there,
first a big thx for you @c3k for finding the time to investigate the issue for all the no SAMMY roms which the cam is most likely the only disadvantage over the SAMMY firmware !
i've flashed stock rom dialed the no. and got an earlier cam+phone firmware GDFE02 on both cam+phone FW, i've applied the update at the thread you linked to and now i'm running both phone and cam FW with: ZDFF03.
i've restored my jellybam nand but unfortunately the issue persists "as usual".
i tried to clear data and dalvik cache+fix the permissions and clear the gallery(aka camera app) data as well.
after rebooting i'm still getting the problem.
i guess it the fix doesn't work at every phone for some reason(i have the i9300 off course).
if anyone have any suggestions i'd love to hear
cheers
i try to dial *#34971539# in stock dialer but my GS3 return nothing.

I think samsung may have changed the S3 camera in lastest hw versions, and maybe it has no more an upgradable firmware.
If this is correct the only way is work on the aosp source to have a better comunication with this new hardware, but I don't know how hard it is, if is possible and how many i9300 camera vendor / version exists,,,
When and where you buy your device? (is it i9300, right?)

Can someone help to fix the camera on my galaxy s3?
Same problem here
I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem.
This camera issue happens on every ROM I flash with the exception of the Stock ROMs.
I am now re-flashing my AOKP 4.2.1 ROM that I had running a little while ago. It seems the problem is with every ROM but the stock ones, which is a shame considering I'm not the biggest touchwiz fan and I love AOKP.
So does anyone know of any fix? the error only happens when I take a picture. I really dont know what to do. I am open to any suggestions.
Thanks, as always.

jeez, I'm really sorry! I would help you if I could but I'm not sure how much i could do!
have you tried any camera apps?
or try this!!!!
search "4.2 camera" on google and find the androidpolice one, download and flash!
Works perfectly for me, plus you get photosphere!
I just can't get the camera working on 4.2 :crying::crying::crying::crying:
hope it helps!!
Hi,
I dont think I ever posted here, but I'm mostly active on the CM forum, but I did not get any response on the problem I'm having now.
I used to have the Samsung Galaxy S i9000, with CM flashed on it.
I now got the Samsung Galaxy SIII, and I immediately rooted it. I then installed CM9, but my camera wouldn't work. It opens, waits for 2-3 seconds and then gives me the "can't connect to camera" error, and closes.
I then tried flashing some other roms like AOKP, Liquid, EnergyHD, ... even with 4.2.1 based Nexus200 rom, the camera won't work.
Appearantly I'm not the only one having this issue.I searched the forum and found to links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37072484#post37072484
- When trying this method, I found the fw version of my camera:
Cam FW ver: ZHFJ02
Phone FW ver: ZHFJ02
- When I try to follow the instructions from the link above, I get stuck on the FW write step, because the button to do this is disabled. I also found that messing with this fw is not a good idea, cuz there's no way to undo this, also not with flashing another rom or doing a restore.
So then I found this link, and I contacted member Deviant Ollam for some help, big ups for his help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36897862&postcount=3
So this is what I have done so far:
- chmod 777 on the /data folder, and I copied all the SlimISP files I could find, and also chmod 777 these files.
But still the camera would not work.
The only way the camera works is with the Stock ROM...
Anyone got an idea of what I'm doing wrong?
Are you trying to use the Samsung camera or the one that comes with CM?
Samsung cameras won't work on CM as they don't have the correct framework. Did you try the camera before flashing CM at all? Have you tried any other camera apps to see if they work?

Hi Mike,
So I first flashed to android 4.2.1 so that I could use the latest camera MOD. But no cigar. I even deleted the original Gallery.apk with Titanium, then I flashed the MOD, still the same result. Just don't understand why..

I just tried that ROM, also with the MOD you suggested. Still not working... very strange.
I think it has something to do with the FW version of the camera..
When dialing the *#34971539# number on a stock rom, it tells me my camera has the ZH* firmware.
I don't find much about this version on forums and google...

I'm having the same issue. I tried CM10, CM10.1 and AOKP. Eventually gave up and restored to stock.
Also, I realize this probably sounds dumb, but when I dial *#34971539# on my stock rom, I get the VZW recording saying the number cannot be dialed. What am I doing wrong?
