Hello everybody,
I've just installed a new ROM on my Razr XT910 (Way Away 1.0.5) and I'm having this problem with the media gallery everytime I take a picture and click on the miniature to open it.
The error message says: "Media gallery not installed"
Anyone knows how to solve it?
Thanks in advance.
You could always install a camera app from the Play Store and use it instead. (Make sure the app has the option to save pictures on your SD)
Also, let the developer of your ROM know of this issue so he/she can prevent future users of having it.

Thanks for your help Zack, I've already ask for help with the dev, but he just didn't answer.
Can you recomend a good (I mean the best) camera app to use on my Razr?
Thanks again.
I'm not sure about the system you're using, but Motorola camera applications are related to Motorola gallery applications. If you are using Droid RAZR M camera (MotCamera.apk, with an icon like this), you must have Droid RAZR M gallery (MotGallery2.apk) in order to access pictures from camera miniatures, otherwise you will have the error you said. If you are using Droid RAZR camera (BlurCamera.apk, with an icon like this), you must have Droid RAZR gallery (MotGallery.apk).

Well, I'm using the second one (Blur), so I'm gonna search for this MotGallery right now!
Thank you!
--edit--
I quit! I couldn't find the damn app for the gallery so instead I've just downloaded a third party app for the camera (Camera MX) and it's working fine right now.
Btw, this camera is really nice and quite better than stock... I'm using it as default. Thanks again for your help
You're welcome. The new camera and gallery applications are way better than the older ones and I haven't found a single bug since I first tried them, months ago, so I don't have the old files (BlurCamera.apk and MotGallery.apk) anymore, but I have the new ones (MotCamera.apk and MotGallery2.apk). You can easily replace them, just rename the old *.apk files to *.bak (if you want to back up them), push the new *.apk files to /system/app/, set permissions (-rw-r--r--) and reboot. You will then have both updated stock camera and gallery applications installed and working perfectly.
Camera is not really much different, but it's faster. Gallery is really better, completely different and awesome. And now you can access pictures with stock gallery from within camera miniatures.

Well... I'm a quite stubborn person so even with the other app working flawlessly, I did a deep search to find a way of getting my stock camera working, and that's what you said there is exactly what I did here. I've renamed the stock one to BlurCamera.apk.bak (just in case) and put the new files to the system directory with the needed permissions, and after the rebbot my gallery was working like a charm.
Thanks for the files anyway, even not using them I'm quite sure someone in the future may find it usefull when a problem like mine appear. And reading your post, people should get everything working with no issue!
Hail brother!
So I now have a Samusng S2 LTE, and sold the Nexus 4, what an upgrade ! yah (removable batteries needed on sailing trips, an a tough to break phone, USB OTG and can bring files i need on SD cards..
Anyways so I rooted and installed CW10 - and it seems that they have now jumped the shark in a mainstream attempt so the most important feature is gone, set permissions...
Coming from a blackberry I can hardly imagine why some stupid app I have to delete has permission to use my phone for things that are none of their junk, like my SMS and phone calls, even my phone number, MY LOCATION...
Can't wait for this new Firefox OS ! should clear the spying on us problems up I hope... but in the meantime, what to do ? I want to tell an app what permissions it has, most have no permission for anything unless i need them to do that function, but right now it is open season on my privacy.
ANy tips ?
Tip number one....
Post your question in the correct forum and you may get an answer.

I use LBE Privacy Guard, look for it in the Play Store. Quick note, it only works on ICS, its not compatible with JB.
Ya, I sadly installed and got all set up with cw 10 on JB only to find out they decided to remove all the permissions stuff to please google... why does google want you not to choose to block certain apps permissions... it's creepy.
I don't think Firefox is gaining much ground for our device. Ubuntu touch is gaining a lot of ground imo. I personally use permissions free

pardon me, but i'm pissed. I started fiddling with this thing yesterday with no luck now i've just spent the past 5 hours with this crap...i upgraded from the s3 and have no fkn idea why they've made some features so fkn difficult....excuse my language.
here's my problem, before changing phones i used mybackup to backup sms, mms, call logs, contacts and apps. Well after searching i see the reware directory needs to be put in the legacy/emulated folder....i did that but mybackup still can't see it. No problem, i'll do everything with good old Kies...but i can't find kies on the S5, market or samsung store. i've tried every fkn thing...i plugged in my old phone and downloaded easy back up and some other crap that's for rooted phones only. i can't find the easybackup directory. i downloaded some wifi transfer apps and the free ones have transfer limits...
can someone please help me before i throw this fkn phone and break it? thanks and btw my s5 and s3 aren't rooted.

First a question: Are you afraid of rooting/tripping knox?
Answers: 1) Root will help with this. Get titanium backup PRO, but it requires root. I have been using it for I don't know how long.
2) Root will help with this. The S3 can be rooted and then returned to stock for your backing up needs. Once you root the S5 for your restoring needs, knox flag will trip and stay with you.
3) Calm down! Read the above answers again and think about it. He He good luck
I use My Backup Pro and if I'm not mistaken only the pro version will restore from one phone to a different phone. I'd also suggest using the cloud option. I backed up my S4 and restored to my S5 in minutes using the cloud and did not attempt it on a memory chip. It's also possible that KitKat security changes might make reading the data from the chip a problem. I am also not rooted yet.

Good idea to try the cloud, I never tried that.
KitKat only messed up the WRITE to SD card permissions, there's an app that restores it though on the play store. READING from the SD card to restore your backups and other things is not a problem even without the fix.

Super Backup from the play store is great for backing up and restoring all your messages, contacts, and call log. It saves them as tiny XML files, and even gives you the option to e-mail it to yourself. Then you can restore it just as easily in the app on the new phone. You can browse for the file, so you don't have to worry about where it's saved. Just e-mail it to your gmail and download it right back on the new phone.
I used this method for myself (I have the stupid AT&T variant that is going back soon, no root, no hope, no nothing) and friends and family with no root.
As for the apps, I just let Play Store reinstall it it whether it's after a full wipe and install of a ROM or moving to a new phone.. But if you have certain apps that can't be obtained from Play Store, and since you obviously don't have Titanium Backup having no root, Super Backup can also backup the apps, then browse to the backup folder for the APK files it saves and move it over manually. Use a file explorer to open the apk and install.

thanks for the advice, but i'm not rooting right now. this is my 7th Android phone, i rooted the first 5, but i didn't root the s3 and have no plans of rooting this unless there's some incredible features that i really desire. i use to root back in the day to get the features that now come stock. Most of the things i dreamed of having on my phone now come stock, so i now don't see much need to root. Besides i have nightmares about the last 2 devices i rooted....gps no longer worked, phones started rebooting by themselves more often (every android i had did that but after rooting it seemed to happen more often)....i got tired of doing camera fixes, gps fixes, bluetooth not working.......i don't know, maybe the game has changed in 2014 and roms are more stable. I was deep into that starting with my g1, then my Nexus (the very first Nexus, i paid like $500 for it). I respect the developers and those who root their devices, i just don't see much personal need for it with these megaphones on the market in 2014.
What would rooting my S5 this early give me? Its currently fast enough, smooth, i love the camera, everything works like a charm(gps, bluetooth, etc...), my battery is CURRENTLY lasting all day with heavy use (i'm no fool, i know that wont last forever, especially coming from the another samsung phone). With all the widgets and things i have, i don't have a desire to root, maybe months from now, i'll get bored with the phone and see some good features....but rooting now.....you care to share your favorite features that a rooted S5 is currently bringing?
thx

do you know the name of the app that restores it? also, Strychtnine, i have mybackuppro, but saved the backup to sdcard...i no longer have another phone so i can't backup mybackuppro online. i used easy backup and saved to google drive, thankfully I was able to restore my sms, mms and call logs....unfortunately many of my contacts didnt restore, i never had that issue with mybackup, its always been my preferred and most trusted backup app dating back to the G1.
A couple other questions while I have a few of you in this thread.
Where is Kies? is it no longer available....i used it heavily with the S3, i don't see it on the s5, playstore, or samsung store. Is there another free app that will allow me to view files on my computer and make changes like Kies? Wifi Transfer is cool but it has a very small transfer limit (i think it was like 10mb or something). I'm not into Google Drive, i use it for hosting music but its a pain to me....first 100mb takes around an hr to upload, then i have to download it on my phone, which takes another few minutes. I honestly prefer the good ole days of plugging the usb to the computer and boom! By the way, has that feature returned with the s5? i plugged usb to computer but it says can't find software. I searched online for s5 drivers and can't find a thing. Any suggestions? i took several pics that i want to send to computer, i don't feel like using google drive, with gmail, i'd have to attach all the files then download them.....i wish i could just connect phone to computer (usb or wireless) and copy/paste files. thanks

I feel what your saying about the past devices and the problems that Custom Roms can create. Root however is different. I use root to run apps that require root i.e., Titanium backup, Greenify, GSAM battery, etc...
Kitkat 4.4.2 and probably Android going forward is some what weird if you think about it. It brought great features like being able to turn off apps (bloat) that you don't use in manage apps, and allows moving apps to the sd card...But on the same note they crippled the SD card write permissions for what reason? Oxymoron? So again here you need root to be able to edit the permissions file or use that SDfix https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix from the playstore. Note the first thing In the description is ROOT REQUIRED.
I also like Xposed and modules which allows me to customize certain things without needing a custom rom. Note that Xposed is causing some people problems with lag, S health, and Private mode not working.
I have two S5's both with root. On one S health works but Private mode doesn't. NO noticed lag.
The other one however, has extreme lag and freezing, and both S health and Private modes broken don't know why the difference. I don't use S health nor Private mode so no problem there but the lag was terrible so had to uninstall Xposed on the second one. Root alone doesn't break anything.

Kies 3 is available I don't see it on the phone which is good it connects right up once you plug up with computer. http://www.samsung.com/sg/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP . Make sure you select the install for the NEWER phones Note 3 and newer I think it says.

I just plugged it in and windows 7 installed the drivers right away...Maybe once you install Kies above it will install the drivers for you... The S5 actually come with USB 3.0. If you have USB 3.0 on your computer the transfer speeds will be insanely faster than previous phones. Why use Kies just use windows explorer for transfers, Kies just becomes a middle man!
Hi people!
I need someone who has the aforementioned files to gently hand me, because I was messing up with root uninstalling apps with a app named root uninstaller, and I had the unfortunate luck of the app being bugged and instead of clicking on the app I wanted to uninstall, it choosed the next app (which was the Contacts app) and voila, I accidentally clicked on the uninstall button, no going back. Now I can't dial anyone or add contacts.. Because I simply don't have any valid Contacts apk. Any suggestion to solve this irritating problem is welcome! I want to stray away as much as possible from ROM Flash/Reflash or factory reset so don't suggest me that unless there is really no option.
Thanks in the advance,

I haven't mentioned my device cuz i don't think it is worth it.. It is very far from being a known device, being restricted to Portugal very mainly.. It is a meo smart a12, and the technical name is ZTE Blade C2 V809(chinese manufacter, unless I flash a custom recovery, the recovery mode is in chinese, which complicates the things by a pretty big amount shall I need it..) I think that the contact apps around in the Play Store interface in one way or another with the Android Contacts app.. So I don't think it's worth giving a shot, but if you know any apps, let me know too..

Congrats!
Thank you, it took me a while to figure out what i was doing. I am super excited i finally was able to get a stable release.
After playing around a bit i noticed the autocomplete bar just above the keyboard with suggested words when typing is gone. I havent tried a third party keyboard to see if this is something to do with the samsung keyboard failing or if i removed something that prevents this from working correctly...
Haven't noticed any other bugs just yet.

I have to ask what might end up being a naive question: Why is the public offered these "Developer Edition" phones? For me, it would be in hopes that enthusiast ROMs get developed for that device. But, if the retail end is never updated and never unlocked, then what good would a Developer Edition phone be, except to the singular owner? Maybe that's all it is intended to be? Just curious. I guess the name is the misnomer. Rather than Developer Edition, just call it Unlocked... It would be a cool thing if Verizon/Samsung would offer to turn our retail phones into the Developer Edition phones for a fee.
It has the do with Verizon. They can't market it as a retail unlocked device amd since it will only work with verizon they can't really say its the "global" or "international" version. I believe if they marketed the device as "Verizon unlocked device" they would have to also offer it at a subsidized prive or "upgrade" and it would be regulated by verizon. We have seen what Verizon does to phones, I would really like if they never touched the devices.
Thay said the developer edition is to encourage developers to buy the device and make not just roms but apps as well. It would.be more so marketed towards someone who is not using this device as their daily driver but want to grab one just to tinker and make neat things specific to the device or use it to test things they've already built for compatibility so theey can update their apps to rin on this device as well.
Conaumers have never used anything with android on it strictly as planned though. If that was the case we would jave.none of this amazing developmemt, thats what I love about the android OS its so flexible.
Anyhow back on track, did you test the rom? What did you think? Should I include anything else or remove something else?

Thanks for the response. I hadn't really consider the making of apps as a reason.. LOL.
I don't have the Developer Edition yet, just the retail, so I have't run the ROM. I am seriously considering selling my retail to get the DE so that I can get onto Android 5.x. Every phone that I have ever owned was rootable (and I have had a lot of phones), but this is the first one that has no root in sight and no update in sight, so, I am considering the Note Edge DE or the Note 4 DE. (Honestly, I am hedging toward the Note 4 DE. I had the Note 4 just before this Note Edge and prefer the 4 a bit more). Anyway, that is why I am lurking in here, trying to get info on the DE.
The note 4 has more support for sure. And it is hard to find a decent note edge case. O couldn't see myself ever going back to abphone without an edge though. (not the silly s6 edges either, I need a real edge.) In any case no matter what phone you choose I am sure you'll enjoy it. These note series phones are my favorites so far. Could onot be better if they had included a physical keyboard like the droids had back in the day. Physical keyboards are boss. good luck with whichever device you pick, if that happens to be the edge let me know what you think.

Could you pm me the links to all the needed files to do the extraction of the boot and every thing needed to make a stock tar from my phone? Also the links to the kitchen and such?
Thanks in advance.
I wasn't able to make a stock tar flashable in odin.
However to get a system tar which isn't flashable but can be opened in 7zip and extracted to give you all your syatem files you just need to open the terminal emulator, type su then hit enter so you can elevate your session to root. Then type tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar then you'll get system.tar on the root of your internal storage.
Then to get the boot image you need to dl some files from http://www.androidforims.com/threads/without-pc-unpack-edit-repack-boot-img.811999/ and follow his tutorial for the extract part. But our file system is a bit different so the command is different.
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/data/local/tmp/boot.img
Then use root explorer to find the file in data/local/tmp folder.
The kitchen I used to make my custom was archi. Get it @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597220

Cool deal, thank you. Going to get it going asap, but I just found out my dad has bone cancer so it will probably get back burner'ed for a while.
Any idea how to make a flashable?
Other than making a rom like I did I wouldn't know how to make anything flashable. I'm really new to this, this is the first time I've done anything like this. You could ask around the other developer's threads or send one a pm. But I'm sure the best we can do is a rom flashable in twrp or cwm.

Android 4.4.4 I am looking into what it would take to get a lolipop rom on our devices, and also I am looking into a full aosp build to completely remove touchwiz. For now I am happy getting the tw launchers out of here and all the junk apps. Look for more of.my.stuff in the future I am far from done with this rom or this device.

Thank you, it took me a while to figure out what i was doing. I am super excited i finally was able to get a stable release.
After playing around a bit i noticed the autocomplete bar just above the keyboard with suggested words when typing is gone. I havent tried a third party keyboard to see if this is something to do with the samsung keyboard failing or if i removed something that prevents this from working correctly...
Haven't noticed any other bugs just yet.

To fix the no auto complete on keyboard open your keyboard hit settings and download your language again and that should fix it.

Awesome. that's probably it I must have deleted that in the rom. I'm using a different keyboard though and the bar is there. I was just thinking for someone else using the rom and wants to use the swype feature on stock it may be a problem. Ill look into what I may have deleted that would have erased the dictionary.

2. As always make a full backup of your device, just in case.
3. Wipe then Wipe again the standard Wipe in TWRP should be good.
4. Install this .zip
5. Wipe cahe and dalvik
6. Reboot

That's odd. Should be able to install. Try using the method in the other thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3103782
I can only think of a few reasons TWRP would fail to install. Check the usual stuff like cables and md5 checksums, then try to see if you deleted aboot somehow.
If you lost that then you will need one of the more experienced folks here at XDA to help recover that, if even possible. The only methods I have available to offer you though would require you first have either TWRP or CWM installed.
Hope you get this resolved though. Let me know if you get through it.

Boy it'd be nice if Verizon just gave us a one-time option to convert our Note Edges to Developer Editions. Otherwise, I don't see there being much of a future for the phone.
