[s7][exynos][g930f] camera, youtube, snapchat etc. Not working - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use a Galaxy S7 flat(about 2/3 years old). It is running Stock OS 8.0 Oreo and it is ROOTED with Magisk latest version.
Just yesterday this weird problem started where whenever I open the Camera app or any camera using app (ex. Instagram Stories) it either freezes or doesn't load. Not only this but YouTube doesn't load and it started at the same time as the other problem. I tried everything you can do (uninstall, cache, reboot , data).
eventually I decided to format my phone COMPLETELY so I formated it using TWRP and rooted it again. I started installing my usual apps and at first everything was working so I just kept restoring things. Now the problem started AGAIN out of nowhere. Exactly the same.
What I've used root for is basically removing bloatware and using Titanium Backup, Lucky Patcher, Buildprop (to use Samsung Health). On Magisk I also installed a Cloudflare DNS and IOS emoji module.
I also installed Youtube Vanced but I don't think it caused the problem because I just installed it and didn't have it before formating. Also I should mention that I can use YouTube on Chrome. Any help would be appreciated since I literaly can't use my phone regularly.
Thank you.

If you use L***P*** you must expect problems but also that nobody is willing to support.

YouTube crashing on startup

Since some time (~3 months) the YouTube app is crashing just after launching it
and embedded YouTube videos in apps don't work too.
Wiping app data/cache does nothing only if I reinstall YouTube.
However this only works for some hours and then it's crashing again.
I'm on 5.1.1. EXistenZ 4.2.5. and already tried reflashing the rom to solve it.
I don't have xposed modules for YouTube enabled.
It would be nice if someone could help me
Try the latest version of ExistenZ, using it with no issues.

Fix snapchat on custom rom

I have lineage os android 7.1.1 on my galaxy core prime ve(sm-g361h) and installed snapchat and cant login plz what can i do .
Are you rooted? If so, that's what's stopping you.
A root error will tell you that your login failed. If it doesn't say it failed, then something else is the problem. I suggest using Magisk for root since you can hide superuser from being detected.

Is it a connection problem? What error is snapchat giving?
If it's connection, make sure you have internet access allowed for snapchat or something (do you have a firewall?)
From my memory of trying to login to snapchat and the whole root issue was it failed at the verifying device phase. You could also download a safetynet checker app from Google Play to see if you're passing safetynet to help ensure everything is playing nicely.
you could always login on another device then restore it onto your main device.
You will have to use a rom that doesnt have root by default. You then have log in and then flash the root. Mind you that you won't be able to log in on any other device without refreshing from scratch.

well that sucks, because my rom comes default with root. i knew it was about root and once all apps was done downloading i unrooted with supersu and snapchat still didn't work. i hope there will be a way around this.
Not sure if anyone is still having issues with the snapchat log in, but i was able to make it work by using this method.
For some reason, I had no issues logging in with my old Galaxy S4, which is rooted.
So
1. I used Titanium Backup and made a backup of the Snapchat app and settings.
2. copied them to an sd card.
3. inserted the sd card into my current Note 4 unlocked, rooted, running LineageOS 14.1.
4. restored the Snapchat backup on the Note 4.
5. Opened the app and was already logged in and have since updated the app and still all is good.
I have not logged out, so I don't know if that will prevent me from logging back in. I keep a copy of that backup on my sd card just incase.
Hope this might work for others that may still be trying.
Thank you
You're amazing

Just for anyone who may still need this: Use magisk or another application which can hide root from certain apps, and if you have exposed installed (or EdExposed) just go to settings and you will find a toggle to bypass SafetyNet restrictions
Then you should be able to use snap like normal...

Google maps bug or root issue?

Hi guys, I recently rooted my phone, installed Xposed with only 2 modules, greenify and root cloak, I also have titanium backup and adaway for root apps, I've uninstalled everything that requires root.
Now ever since rooting my phone, I'm not able to book Uber or any cab using Google maps, I had no issues whatsoever on non rooted ROM, so just wondering if this is being caused by root somehow or it's Google maps issue. I'm still running stock oxygen os with mm.
Attaching a screenshot to help you understand what it looks like when trying to book a cab, the two tabs at the bottom won't go away. Deleting app data temporarily resolves this but it comes back in no time.

Facebook messenger crashing - help troubleshoot

Hey there guys. My Facebook messenger crashing and I'd love to find a solution as to why and how to resolve the problem.
Curreny system: I'm currently on a rotted and S9+, stock Rom.
Tried solutions: (here goes)
1. Reset app by clearing app data and cache
2. Clearing dalvik/cache
3. Magisk hider
4. Hide apps in Xprivacylua
5. Reset phone
6. Delete all other apps than messenger.
7. Disabling Facebook/reset Facebook
8. Contacted Facebook with no result as they just advised to reset phone.
I hope someone in the aether wants to help troubleshoot or have suggestion I can try out to update the process.
Update 1: messenger Lite works...
Update 2: after. Approximately 2 weeks I have reinstalled messenger again and the problem seems to have vanished in between updates.
Update 3:
*************** SOLUTION ***************
Figured I have had problems with minminguard breaking other apps and tried whitelisting messenger and it worked!

It works yes, but I miss a lot of the features from the original version :/
delete it forever!
I have the same problem. I have magisk and Xposed. I can't figUre out what's happening. It crashes even when I'm just typing. So annoying.
I downloaded the newest beta on apkmirror and it solved it
I have the same problem with messenger and samsung's own telephone app. I installed older messenger app and it works without crashing ( disabled auto update). So now telephone app is a bigger problem for me.
Samsung s9+ Stock ROM, Magisk, Xposed

Same issue! And yes, I downloaded an older version of the messenger app. I only got the phone app crashed message twice I think though.

Today messenger forced me to update theirs app and there is no crashing now on newest version 193.0.0.21.98.
I will try other phone apps if crashing wont stop. Samsung cloud stop it by updating and solving the issue.
Is there any chance to get back the new update? I know I am off-topic but I kinda like it.
I have a friend using S8 and he has it.

Oooh alright, I'll try to update my messenger. Thanks for the info.
Wow hey guys, didn't get notified of updates. I don't know why I didn't think of trying an older apk, but I will check it out and report!
Nope, no luck. It worked for a while but went back to not working. Next step is to freeze all user apps with titanium backup and figure out what is crashing it.
Yes! The problem is that Minminguard (Xposed) breaks some apps with its ad blocking.

Can't log in with my main account in Youtube Vanced (Android 7.1, Moto E 2gen)

The first time I've downloaded vanced, never had any problems UNTIL I've changed my account's password. Then I had to reinstall both apps, and worked right away.
But... like a week or two later, my account suddenly dissapeared from vanced, and when I try to log in it says:
"Could'nt Sign in -There was a problem communicating with google servers"
I tried everything, like everything. I can't log in to my main account.
I always download the apps from vanced.app.
I tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling both vanced an microg several times. (I always install first microg)
Disabling/force stopping chorme.
Last step + also reinstalling both apps.
Logging out of my main account.
Logging in with secondary account will work just fine.
I've tried restarting the phone through some of the methods i've listed.
I'm using LineageOS 7.1 on a Moto E 2gen. Non-rooted phone and non-root vanced.

IMHO this is the only reliable source for Youtube Vanced.

This issue may be caused by Corrupted Cache: Temporary/cache files are saved on your device to make the apps work faster. These files may get corrupted and, therefore, cause to misbehave.
Therefore a possible solution - as 1st thing of all things - is to clear the cache of all those misbehaving apps.

Okay I'll check that post out.
But, if clearing all the cache of all apps by the option in Storage would do the job, then, that's not working for me, I've already done that a couple of times. Also manually cleared chrome and even if it makes any sense the vanced and microg even if I was reinstalling them several times.
I really want to know a solution, for the sake of not having to format everytime or something like that.
Oh also, my phone isn't rooted. I'm using vanced non-root.
I've followed the steps that also says are outdated, nothing.
So I've just factory resetted and well, it worked. Gosh. Okay, let's hope it just doesn't happens again.
