Does anyone know how to set google camera (or any other third-party camera app) as the default camera to open when using the lockscreen camera shortcut?
I have another phone app (True Caller/Dialer...Which btw are completely awesome phone replacement apps). And when I use the lockscreen phone shortcut, it gives me the "select default dialog box" to choose which phone app I want to default to. The camera shortcut doesn't give me a "select default app" dialog box.
No matter what I do, it always defaults to the stock Touchwiz camera.
I have a SCH-I545 w/OC1 stock deodex (muniz's). I've tried everything I KNOW to do. Wiping data, caches, uninstall, reinstall, changing permissions...etc,etc,etc...
SOS! HELP! PLEASE! THANK YOU!
Have you tried clearing the cameras defaults? Or just uninstalling it all together?

Kind of afraid to uninstall the stock camera. Using advanced tools from play store to start google camera at boot may b the trick. Gonna reboot and c. But yeah I've tried all the normal clearing protocols with data/cache etc.
Hello there,
I went through 3 similar threads and NO solution at all How come ???
If you found a solution, please post it...
P. S.: I can disable the stock camera, but I can't uninstall it.

Unknown sources is checked. When I get the black screen that has 2 grey buttons at the bottom, install and cancel, nothing happens when I press the install button. Oh, and I am installing vcast because I need it to update to 2.3.4.
Try a factory reset?

I suppose that could work. How would I backup and restore my data (I'm rooted)?
Titanium backup is a good choice. You have the option to backup all apps and system data, although I rarely back up system data because it could be what is causing the problem. Your contacts should be linked to your gmail acct but you can use any number of market apps to backup contacts, SMS messages, and call logs.

Have you tried to install more than one non-market app? The .apk itself may just be bad and not your phone. If a different app works you could try an alternate download of the VCast .apk. Id give that a shot before doing a factory reset.
Which VCast app are you trying to install? Theres a few VCast apps that shows up in the Market for me.

System data is preserved in a factory reset, right? And I would backup to the sd card, remove it, and do a factory reset later, correct?
i had this problem before...two suggestions: 1) if you have screen filter app, disable it before installing the app 2) juicedefender app may be interfering with non-market app downloads, try configuring the settings or disable/unistall the app
1) did the trick for me...i hope this helped!

I'm sorry for rebumping this older thread, but to the OP did you uninstall these apps? I usually freeze them. If you did and want quick resolve just back up your data with Titanium as others have stated and then SBF. SBFing will bring you back to 100% brand new out of the box status. You can find info here in the General section if you uncertain on how to SBF... don't be afraid it's easy

I simply cannot express my gratitude enough! For months I'd had the same problem and had tried everything or, so I thought. After some serious googling I came across your suggestion and it surprisingly worked; disabling Screen Filter did the trick. At last I can finally enjoy installing downloaded apps at my leisure! Thank you so much for the suggestion!!
For the life of me, I cannot figure out what is causing com.google.process.gapps to stop. I have narrowed it down to it being triggered when it syncs internet data through Accounts and Sync.

I also had to clear data in the browser as that would FC gapps every time I used it.

Ok i found out how he did it. You will have to go into the browser settings and clear cache, cookies, passwords etc. Then u have to go to settings - application manager and click on All. Then scroll down to google services framework. Click on it and then clear data. I rebooted afterwords for good measure. I was able to sync internet sucessfully without a force close. But i think this issue is being caused by some random setting that we are setting. If anyone finds out the source of this issue, please post.

The phones don't ship with google processes failing so what are you guys doing to the phone? If you have rooted the phone and tinkered with roms you have to flash the rom then flash the most updated gapps package for your phone or you will get force closes.
Also, you can fix force closing of google processes by booting into CWR and clearing dalvik cache as this forces ICS to rebuild symlinks and other databases for your apks....

My current rom and config is shown in my signature. I am thinking that it starts force closing when i start making changes to default settings in settings menus relating to browser/internet because if I uncheck sync internet from accounts and sync, it will not crash anymore. But when I recheck it, it crashes upon sync. But again, i am not sure which exact setting is causing it. That's all I am doing. I will try clearing dalvik cache and see if it persists. Also, another issue is that i am using TiBackup and freezing google movies and books. When I reboot the phone, they magically re-appear.

It did this error for me right out of the box once I synced my gmail account. Maybe it's something held over from some other phone that I've had?

ok... The plot thickens. lol did you restore ANY google apps using Titanium backup? if you did thats a big no no. Factory reset will probably set you right up. You can also reset dalvik cache as well.

Interesting... you may have some google app settings that are interfereing with ICS from other gingerbread or ICS roms... try factory resetting and then uncheck anything that says restore apps or account settings when setting up your phone and that should eliminate the issue. Report back as I am really curious
No i did not restore gapps with tb. When i do a restore, i do restore missing apps. Being that gapps are preinstalled, it would not restore using this option. I wiped dalvik cache as advised above. Then made changes to browser default settings and it hasnt fc yet.

Bump. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Update: Wiping dalvik cache appears to have permanently solved the problem. However, it still remains a mystery as to what actually caused this.
I disabled "sync internet" in my Google and Samsung accounts and the gapps problem is gone. I don't even know what sync Internet does but my guess is that was the problem.

As i stated in one of my first posts...that i figured out that sync internet triggers the crash. What sync internet does is it syncs favorites and browser settings. I use chrome on my pc, browser on tablet and browser on my phone and sync my favorites across all three.

I'm in the process of recovering after updating to the latest ROM/firmware using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149095
Everything seems to be working smoothly so far, except I'm having trouble de-bloating. Being a n00b, I remember being able to uninstall just about any app I wished to delete after finishing the dirty work of rooting and such directly in the operating system (drag the shortcut to the uninstall label at the top of the screen). I cannot remember how exactly I got to that point...I've tried running a script I found to auto de-bloat while in the bootloader, no luck.
Also, my apps do not seem to be auto downloading again as they had after I went through the rooting process a month ago. Having the phone re-install apps, and even properly replace their shortcuts was quite nice ...any ideas on that one as well?
Thanks in advance.
Settings -> Apps -> All, tap an app, choose disable.
I do remember you could just drag a shortcut right from the app drawer to the "info" and then disable. But it doesn't work now, maybe after update...

Thanks for the reply! I've disabled many of the apps, too bad they're not truly uninstalled though. I do know before the update, I was able to uninstall most Verizon apps using the app drawer (all but voicemail which was still protected for good reasons). But now, I can't seem to do that anymore. Ill try installing bloatware remover v3, still can't remember what exactly allowed me to directly uninstall the apps. Maybe its just the update that's causing this.
EDIT: Nevermind! Got it. It was the Bloatware Remover v3 that allowed me to do this. Thanks for the feedback though!
Maybe the apps aren't auto recovering due to this being a new version of the rom. Apps are treating my phone as if it's new, even though I'm connected to my Google account.

I'm experiencing two small issues with my HTC One. I'll say up front that it is stock and running the latest OTA from T-Mobile. I'm holding off on rooting as long as possible.I can say that after owning so many phones I haven't ran into issues this simple that I haven't been able to fix.
Issue #1: Homescreen
Whenever I download an app from the Play Store, it automatically adds an icon to the homescreen. Whether I'm using the stock launcher, Nova or Action Launcher. Of course I've already unchecked the box in the Play Store settings, that usually stops the icons from showing up. Unfortunately that doesn't work. I've cleared the cache and app settings for the play store and unchecked the auto add widgets box again, and still I'm getting icons.
This isn't a big issue, just a minor annoyance.
Issue #2: Gmail notifications
After updating to the newest gmail from the app store, my gmail notifications have stopped. I've tried unchecking then checking the notifications box and nothing changes. I've tried clearing app data and cache and nothing. I've tried uninstalling and using the old version and my notifications work again. But once I update to the new one again, they stop. Has anyone experienced this?

For number one there is a setting in the Play store. Deselect Auto-add widgets from the play store settings.

Hmm, I don't have them on my home screens after install. I'll have to think about it. I recall that this setting is what stopped it for me.
Shot in the dark, but if you're using Nova Launcher it also has the same setting that can be toggled. Threw me off for a bit.

Issue 1: If you're running nova launcher their is a new option in settings that installs apps on homepage. Just toggle that off.
Issue 2 : Go ..settings> accounts & sync > Google.... And make sure gmail is checkered. Also make sure you have background data enabled. Also make sure you are not in power saver mode.

Still can't quite figure out the GMail issue.
Ignore this... App is still there, just not displaying in launcher. If Icon in their launcher is deleted, you can still access it through the gallery by swiping right for the camera.
I accidently deleted the Omate Camera app last night, but can't track it down. (Mea culpa:my ROM backup MIA as well)
Tried looking through Dees Troy's Bluetooth ROM for the apk, but didn't recognize it by name. App isn't in the Omate store, yet seemed to be proprietary Omate when I was using it.
Any help locating a copy to re-install would be appreciated (or even the name of the APK). Rather fond of my setup now and would rather not mess with it by reflashing.
If you think you got app and only icon is gone just go to setting in app manegmer find the luncher and tap on clear data bottom. This will rest your luncher and bring your all app again.
But if you have uninstalled the app by root access the easiest way is flashing new ROM.I hope this help you.
