[Q] Vine/Snapchat and 4.4.4 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried searching the forums and I can't seem to find a definitive answer.
Are there any 4.4.4 ROMS (any base CM/AOSP/AOKP etc.) that Vine and Snapchat work on? I'm fed up with the Samsung stock but don't want to lose functionality by switching...

I'll take that as a no then.

@gordon/all Same prob Here. Do u know a version which runs with snapchat?
The error code tells (translated),error sending failure... Tap again...
THX im running the nightly frok 2014.06.26

Some people seem to say if you set the quality on Snapchat to lower you get more recording time. But Vine seems to just bring up an error message saying "your device is not supported" or something.

I believe they still have the problem. I decided to end up using a stock Google Play Edition ROM. of course this dosent have any customisations but if you really want to customise it you can use Xposed Framework (+ GravityBox) etc.

SpeedROM wifi mms problems

I know that you guys are going to tell me to search through the thread. I'm actually not a noob I just lurk a lot.
I flashed SpeedROM 4.0 and now I am unable to send mms messages (redundant) while I'm connected to my WiFi. I searched all over that thread to find a fix and all I came up with was to install Android 4 ICS Messaging SMS over the Play Store. tried it. it came up with an error "Duplicate Provider Authority" Any help?
I also found out that there's no notification of messages on the lock screen nor does it chime/vibrate/notify when you receive a message from an unknown number

It's a general problem with the amaze on ICS, it's widespread, so don't expect a fix anytime soon.
It never happened on the stock ics with sense 3.6. If I knew how to do all of this stuff I would help. My best guess is that the answer is in the stock ics ROM. I have my stock backup if anyone needs it for study

Do a battery pull... That will drop all the power out of the phones radios and force them to reset. Thus fixing mms hopefully

I tried that already. I actually know all of the basic trouble shooting steps. my last two theories are either the coding for the room is just wrong or I need to flash the kernal which I have nO clue how to do

You do realise I'm on stock ICS right? If you read the wifi thread that's in this very sub forum, you'd see it's not just me that has the issue, many members here as well, go over to tmo's forum and check the ICS bug list thread, you'll see a damn long list of others there as well.

my guess is on the kernel needing to be flashed/reflashed for the mms/wifi thing. as to the other issues, no clue. have you tried running stock ics yet?
Yeah I had stock ics for a while before I switched. I don't know how to flash the kernal though. Honestly if I knew how, I'd just put stock ics mms.apk in the.zip but I tried that already and it canceled the install. Don't know how to do that either

Just reflashed the kernel, same problems still exists. I'm confused now as to what to do.

"Duplicate Provider Authority" means that you are trying to install something that the phone already has system flags dedicated for(this explanation could be a little better).. Speedrom already has the MMS app, use a root tool, titanium backup - something to remove mms.apk from the system/app folder, then you will be able to install the one in the market -- not that that is a sure fire fix.. but one thing at a time. Try that, that is the only reason you couldn't install.

New MagicJack app works!

For those MagicJack users who have thus far been frustrated, there is a new app (Talk Free) which allows us to use our MJ accounts to make calls with our TPs. Play store has it.
Quality dependent on good wifi signal, as always. Audio receive and speech from early experience, very good. However, lots of echo experienced on the other end's transmit.
Also note, when the app is in opened on the device, mic will not work with other apps. App must be forced closed, as no exit exists for app presently. It's still beta, albeit a good start.
Neat to be able to make calls from the TP. Running ICS nightly fwiw.

The app does not come up for me in the playstore. I'll try googling it later.
Edit : I think that this is for the iPads, not for android.
Edit 2 : I get your device is not compatible error when searched for MagicJack in playstore.

That's what I'm running and the app works fine. Have you tried clearing the cache and do you have the latest gapps version?
I had been running the 903 nightly. I upgraded to 916. App still works here.
Can't imagine what causes the problem on your end.

NFS Most wanted not authorised on this device

Hey guys. I just bought this game from the play store (yes I really bought it. No illegal crap) and it tells me this game is not authorized on my device. I am running omega 5.0.
Anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
That is DRM at work for you! I got the same message after buying it. Ended up using a patched APK, still waiting to hear back on the official version.
Edit Note: I'm on stock rom, rooted, perseus kernel, US Cellular version.
Are you connected over the internet when you are opening the app?
Damn DRM... I tried turning off internet and Data usage. Same problem.
So why do i even bother buying an app if i have to go and download a pirated version to get it to work anyway.
Thats just plain dumb
I don't know mate...i am running over stock rom with root...it asked for the internet connection for the first time......and then its working fine after that
Ok i fixed it by going to the Android Revolution HD 4.0 Rom. Weird...
Sorry for digging up the topic, I did not want to create a new one cus this is being referenced on other sites. So just in case someone stumbles here like I did, I've found a solution for this, don't matter what rom you are using.
If your device is rooted, you can install lucky patcher, select NfS MW, "patches menu", "remove licence verification", "auto modes", and choose "auto mode" and "other patches (extreme)". This will make the game work (assuming your copy is legal) and you can procced to download the game data (or play, case you already has the data)!
Hope this helps anyone trying to play this old but still nice game.
You can use Magisk hide, it works for me

Call Recording

Anyone know if the S4 can record both sides of a call? On my incredible 2 with the cyanogen mod kernel I could do it with CallRecorder from the play store? Can the stock kernel do it? Our is there a mod for it? Thanks

yes, but it will be very faint. If you have something to boost the volume, you can still hear it. I use speaker cause it's louder, but I was on the phone and someone had said they can talk if they was on speaker. I took them off then went back and could still here the conversation.

Same question. Verizon S4 sch-i545, rooted, stock ROM. I had to keep my s3 on ICS to keep call recording going, desperately seeking a solution for my s4.
Speakerphone recording is not really a viable option for me (certainly it's not desirable).
On my s3 (ICS) I used KillerMobile's paid Total Recall app, and it worked beautifully and effortlessly. On s4 (Jellybean) no combination of settings with Total Recall work with non-speakerphone recording. In fact methods A, B, C, and D don't work at all - and method D generates such large logfiles that I have to kill the app, and delete the log (it was 7gb at one point!).
Update: Total Recall is working with Cyanogenmod 10.1 (10.1-20130614-NIGHTLY-jfltevzw to be exact) on my rooted S4. No other custom ROMs that I tried worked, however.
Tried: Jelly Beans, Synergy, and Hyperdrive. Have *not* tried Paranoid Android yet. With Cyanogenmod working with it, I think I'll just leave it the hell alone for a bit..
Hi Lazarus, make sure you have the latest TR build installed, we fixed this Logfile issue recently (it's only an issue with Strategy D on S4's).
Have you tried the app with the release version of CM10.1 vs the nightly you reference?
Thanks for the feedback and don't hesitate to contact us directly.

Hi there Total Recall Users,
Before reverting to older ROMS try this first:
I got this working and this is my interpretation of the recording problem:
I also use CM 10.1's latest nightly and struggled to get it working. I noticed that Total Recorder does not prompt for Super User Access when the program i.e. wants to install Strategy D and fails.
I think this is a CM 10.1 error. I installed SuperSU (there's a free version on Gplay). Run this and select install from the settings menu. It will prompt you to reboot immediately after the program closes. Reboot and be QUICK to click Grant Access to SuperSU (else it will get blocked) and it replaces the CM 10.1 SU features.
When running Total Recall again, and selecting Strategy D for Galaxy III SuperSU pops up requesting SU status, grant it, and installs OK.
Recording operational....
I cannot confirm if this is a CM bug
Good luck.
Total Recorder only works with speaker phone on S4 running CleanRom 1.5.
Also, the directory picker function is buggy.

[Q] Internet browser not prompting for video player - Kitkat 4.4.2

Hello everyone,
I'm coming from a Galaxy S2 running ICS. When I would click to play a video from the default internet browser, I would get prompted for the video player. I'm assuming that it has something to do with flash compatibility? In any case, I really liked this behavior since I could choose MX player (stream) or Internet (download). This was very handy and I would love to be able to have that functionality on my new device.
I'm now using a Galaxy S4 running KitKat 4.4.2 and it seems that all videos play inline and I can't choose any other apps. Is there a way to get that functionality back?
Thanks for any insight you may have!
Nope. Android killed all flash plug-ins and apps are now made to play videos inline. Not to mention the option to download was breaking alot of rules.

Say it aint so!! Should this have been working in ICS? I'm wondering because if it's been disabled since before ICS, maybe I can still find a way around this...?

You might be able to get around this by using outdated apks from before they started using the inbuilt browsers but be warned that if you download the videos google has the right to term you account. Other then that there is nothing you can do. Flash has been dead for a long time now.
