Oh my goodness, a new thread, I hate doing this but I haven't had any luck...
So here's the deal, my Streak's camera only shows greyscale on the screen while I am taking pictures or shooting video....
Once taken, the color is there in the photo or pic in the gallery or whatever app I open to view the photo or watch the video.
Honestly I have no idea when this could've started because since the Streak's camera is not the best in the world, I don't use it much, but I do occasionally use it to recognize a business or scan a document to send it to someone or something else to that effect.
What I have done lately to the phone is flashed the 354 baseband and dsp1 files to the phone. So logically I tried to flash to where I was before that, the 351 files, and had no luck with that, so I went back to the 354 files.
I have tried to look for some setting that I may have left in black and white or greyscale but haven't found anything that I may have done to cause this, doesn't mean it's not my fault, but I could definitely do with some ideas.
Thanks guys for any suggestions.
Worst case scenario I'd do a fresh flash of StreakDroid....oops, forgot to mention I was running StreakDroid 1.9
I would try to get the camera.apk file from 1.9.0 (unzip the zip, then system, then app, then camera.apk (I think)) and try installing that after uninstalling your camera app. If that doesn't work then it's a little far out to fix. You can always try a factory reset and reflash if that doesn't work.

Well I tried got rid of the camera apk with Root Explorer but then it wouldn't let me reinstall it.
Well then I try to adb push the app but then got uid errors so I said the heck with it and did a fresh flash of StreakDroid

Did this fix the problem?
I just noticed this for the first time, myself. I did a factory reset/re-flash of 1.9.0 a few days ago, and I suspect that's when this started.

Yeah, I dunno what I may have done to prompt the behavior, I'm sure I made some adjustment or installed something that affected it.
So I just started from scratch and flashed StreakDroid anew....
Each time I flash I do somethin in the order of things different and each time it gets smoother and smoother

I ran into this problem as well as another person. They discovered that it was LBE. Once I uninstalled LBE, the color issues were fine.
Did you have LBE installed?

Well I don't have the problem now that I flashed StreakDroid again but I sure wanna know what LBE is... forgive me for being dense but for the life of me I can't make out what that stands for sgood
Not sure what it stands for but its an app I found on xda and does permissions based blocking of apps. Kind of like iptables
Some people were having the same issue at streak.modaco.com and some found LBE Privacy Guard to be the issue and one person said Chainfire3D may be an issue.
In the SimpleStreak rom thread some users were attributing this to having stagefright installed. I do not use stagefright and have no idea what it is, just passing on the observation.

Yep that's the one and removing it fixed my issues.
vThanks
Thankyou,
I found that a reboot fixed the problem but i also have chainfire 3D installed so I was wondering if that caused the problem as I dont use the camera very often
Hey, i have a similar issue and dont have either of those apps installed. I can across the thread below first and posted my question here:
[Q] camera and video playback in black and white.
I am a noob. Both threads appear to discuss the same issue. Should i post to this thread?
just started getting this when i got to my market, press menu, my apps. anyone have this problem or know how to fix. i have tried clear cache, clear data, reinstall rom, everything i can think of. thanks for the help guys.
It might be Juice Defender blocking it.
i will give that a try, been using juice defender for awhile and this just started.
That started happening to me a few weeks ago. I was on Unnamed for a long while before it happened. Now it's happening on each rom I flash after a day or two. Not sure why, haven't really looked into it yet because it doesn't really annoy me. Yet. Just confirming that you are not the only one.
I also have tried different rims. Tried unnamed, icscrewed, and currently running turkbey v32 hellraised with DD 010212. All was good then it just started. Atleast I know its not just me.
Searching (not just i777 forums and XDA) will show you that this may be an Android/Google problem. Several possibilities:
1. you restored from Titanium backup - this breaks my market links every time.
2. you've flashed enough ROMs that your Google account is overloaded - it apparently doesn't "unlink" phone from apps from install version and after a certain point, it won't associate your phone to your apps any more. I suspect this is part of why restoring from TiBu breaks the links. And TiBu's "restore market links" does not seem to help. This has been reported to Google (not by me - more than a year's worth of people at this point) and they apparently don't care.
3. Just the general "market links disappeared" bug. It happens to people on stock, too.
You can create a new Gmail account and relink all the apps to that, but I don't like that as a solution. If anyone else knows more, please chime in!
thanks alacrify, hoping it can get resolved. without app showing i dont know when there are any updates.

I use AppBrain to keep an eye on things - it runs about a day late, but if you didn't have it at all, how would you know?
i will have to give that a try. guess no fix until google does something by the sounds then.
tried a bunch of things found in other threads on the site and nothing seems to work. anyone else have any suggestions
Hi everyone,
I have tried to search for a solution to my problem but I haven't been very successful. If anyone knows of links to possible resolutions to my problem, please reply with them.
I have an issue with the chrome browser starting with a completely black screen. At first I thought it was only my last phone (RAZR HD), but the problem is also present on my Verizon Note 3. If it were just an issue on a single phone, I'd probably ask in specific phone forums, but it's happened on two different phones now.
I'm presuming that the problem might be caused by an app I'm using, but the problem is intermittent so I can't tell if the issue subsides when I uninstall certain apps.
Any help or insight in this issue is appreciated.
Thanks
I have the same issue. Seems in my case its ANY 4.3 rom. It started after an update to Chrome around the fifteenth or so of November. It'll work but if I change tabs or switch apps it will turn black when resuming. Older versions of Chrome don't have the problem. I've gone back to a 4.2.2 root box rom with no problems.

The latest update to chrome doesn't render the pages immediately.
This would most likely be to open chrome faster.
However, users are reporting that they don't get past a black screen.
This is common.
Go complain to google devs though, not here. (The bug tracker they have)
Right on. Will do. Not so much complaining as just sharing with the OP. Thanks for letting us know its very common. My searches have not returned much information at all. Including Google searches and searches here and on XDA.
Thanks again!

I see. My RAZR HD was still on 4.1.2 and this was an issue there too. Thanks for the information.
Side note: I'm glad I wasn't the only person having difficulty searching on this subject.
sorry for the huge bump but if anyone was wondering my dpi was 350 and this issue stated when my Rom was changed to a 350 DPI. I used xposed and App Settings to change the DPI of chrome to 480 and no more black screens
EDIT(2 hours later):Nope it just came back.
Sorry if this thread already exists.
You have no idea how happy I am this ROM exists!! But I cannot get SMS working. I get FC's on every SMS app I try including Hangouts. Anybody else getting this and/or have a remedy? Thanks
I was about to post the same error here, I have an Amaze with Videotron, S-Off, Super CID, HBOOT-1.93.2222 (JuopunutBear), TWRP as a recovery.
I tried everything, I tried different Gapps, I also tried without installing Gapps, I tried sms apps from the Play Store and Hangouts too. The only thing I haven't tried is formatting my internal SD card. (it was a clean install, all formatted and cache cleared). I also tried switching to ART but I had the same problems.
Everytime I try to just open the sms apps, the app crashes. I managed to see the error once and it was something about SQL but it might be a misinterpretation from my part.
Calls, 4G and WiFi were all working perfectly too.
After some research on Google, I tried installing busybox, xposed framework and uninstalling Voice+, but nothing works. The basic messaging app just closes without any kind of message and other apps show that it stopped working.
(I tried the Evervolv rom 4.4 and SMS were working on that one, maybe it's a setting with my network type as I am on Videotron in Canada and it is using AWS, maybe a setting under *#*#4636*#*# ??)
I want to contribute and sen some log of that error, how can I do that? I am familiar with roms, kernels, etc but not that much with logs... I tried many roms before and never got that specific problem...
Thanks to anyone who can help with this issue!
It's not just you SMS simply doesn't work on this rom and I was surprised to see that no one else pointed this out in the original thread. The default Messaging app closes immediately when you try and open it. Other SMS apps also crash either immediately upon opening them, or when you try to send a message (hangouts & SMS Pro for example). This is the only thing keeping me from using this amazing rom as my DD.
I have the same exact problem with SMS- will try the evervolv 4.4 though was really looking forward to CM11
Edit: also didnt have any other problems with the rom except for the black boxes and the camera
Let's hope there is a way to fix it!
I would post the question in the official thread but I do not have enough posts to do so unfortunately
Heck I couldn't even try SMS due to the black box issue, that's why I didn't mention it in the original thread.
For those with the black box issue--are you using the correct gapps?
In olden days there were some issues with some google things not working, and people uninstalling the ones that came in gapps and downloading them fresh from the play store.
Have you gone into recovery and fixed permissions?
Again, in days of yore, this might straighten some things out.
Is it possible that black-boxing has something to do with CPU frequency, and is it possible to tweak up the speed through developer options and lose the boxes?
I haven't tried this rom yet, as I'm currently sticking with the stable(r) cm10.
Good luck.
anybody get the SMS working on this ROM so far?

The black box issue has nothing to do with GPU or CPU speeds. There are discussions on the dev threads. The issue affects other legacy devices on various KK based source builds, not just Amaze and CM. The consensus is this seems to be related to the default browser which has changed in KK. This would also explain why it effects other gapps too.

Not that I'm aware of.
Media Issues
The ROM is pretty good for the most part.
I just have this problem where Play Music gives this error, "Cannot play the music track you requested"
I clear my media storage and try to rescan my SD card but none of the apps work. They all crash.
Is there anyway to fix this?

as the OP says and i quote that only non working things are
1. camera exposure
2. tethering
but as the thread goes ahead we read more prolems/bugs
May i ask what is the current status for bugs/not working and other issues and what has been fixed and any other stuff we should flash over the ROM like driver, may it be upoaded to the OP for ease as its reall hard to search for those things on mobile app. thank you and good luck.
Anyone else have issue disabling their microphone while in a call? I tried with both the speaker phone and regular handset mode, the "no mic" icon enables but my caller can still hear me. The Hold button seems to work fine though.
FYI, it took a while for the battery to figure itself out. I wiped the battery stats before flashing everything and the first few days I got a lot of jumping battery levels. I let it charge all the way down as much as I could then rebooted and did a full charge and rebooted again and then full charge again. That seemed to reset the battery level to the correct state.
I also , enabled Device/GPS only for the location detection other wise the google services at 50% or more battery.
I'm running the 2014-02-16 build, with the updated video drivers.
Camera is not working
I have also installed this pacman rom 4.4.2. all is well instead of camera.
Any updates for the camera isssue??

Since PAC uses the CM device tree for its source any issues with CM will also be evident in PAC. Until the CM devs are able to resolve the camera exposure issue it will exist in both ROMs.

Think about your question for a minute. Have you seen any recent posts in the CM dev thread indicating an update which solves this issue? If you had just taken a moment to look at the dev thread instead of posting this you would have answered your own question. It's not like the CM-11 thread is incredibly long, it's only 28 pages total. This post is just laziness on your part and an unnecessary waste of bandwidth.
is there any alternate app in the market, i tried couple of apps but nothing useful

If I were to compile AOSP, which variant would you suggest for me to build?

I've been using the Themer beta since the actual limited beta release. For the past 2 weeks I've been running into an issue, and was wondering if anyone else has had the problem. Just to start off, I'm running a Samsung Note 2, rooted on official firmware. Lately whenever I add a theme to export from the themer friendly themes from mycolorscreen.com and load it up, it would crash my phone and causes a weird boot loop. It would restart my phone and go through all the boot screens, 10-15 seconds in to loading up themer it restarts again and goes through the same cycle. The only way for me to get out of this is to quickly go into settings and reset the homescreen to another launcher. Every theme from the actual themer app runs fine, and all of my personally made themes load fine as well. I have deleted the themer app and reinstalled it and I'm still running into the same issue. I've been sending all the crash reports. The last 2 themes I downloaded were RND UX and Flards 2 from mycolorscreen.com. They would load up for about 20 seconds and then my phone would crash and go through the boot loop.
Anyone have any solutions or insight into this problem? I consider myself pretty tech savy, and I'm comfortable getting my hands dirty using Zooper and UCCW, so I know
would sundryo
my themer also crashes since 4.4.2
but i don't have bootloops..

Hi there,
Unfortunately because your device is rooted, there's not much we can do on our side, as we test Themer on non-rooted devices. Sorry about that.
So you think it might be the root access that is causing the issues? That's unfortunate, I need the root access so I can use my external SD to do the heavy lifting for my storage (stupid Samsung using almost 5gb of my 16gb for their shovelware apps...) Any chance themer will be optimized for rooted devices next, since a lot of people with androids like to load alternative ROMs. I'm willing to be a guinea pig. I guess I'm already a guinea pig now since I'm using the beta. But in the mean time it's back to lighting launcher for me.

Are you sure your resolution matches the Themer .zip file? We've now implemented a new sorting feature whereby you can filter the themes according to your phone's resolution. Any theme that doesn't meet your resolution won't work, and might be causing this issue, else the uploader might have made an error.

Amazing yes I did check. Most of the themes I have been exporting have been the same resolution on my phone. One of the themes (ultra-minimal 3, sorry I can't post links since I have posted a lot yet.) the author said it was designed on a Note 2, that one just recently crashed my phone and caused a bootloop. I do a lot of theme changing, especially when I working on my own theme. Could it be that. Maybe I'm just bogging the system down. When I'm working on my theme, I save, export back, work on it, save, repeat... alot. (Unless that problem has been fixed) I'm paranoid I would lose my progress.
btw, thanks for your replies.

It might also be an internal bug within Themer. Try this:
-Uninstall Themer
-Delete the /MyColorscreen folder make sure your backup any of your work if you have any in this folder
-Delete the /android/data/com.mycolorscreen.themer folder.
-Reinstall Themer.
Then try again and see if the problem resolves itself, if not let us know.

It's been 2 days since I did what you told me, and no crashing, and no bootloops. It could also be a coincidence, but there was an update for themer yesterday. Either way, it looks like I'm finally in the clear. Thank you very much.
Are you?
Is the resolution of the theme is meeting your device resolution.

That's great to hear kaleonfire! If it happens again to you (or someone you know) then that method usually is the best, but updating also doesn't hurt.
