GCam ports automatically closes on Pixel Experience Android 10 - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

Guys, I've been searching around the new about this problem but it seems that I'm the only one who experienced this one. I have installed different ports from different developers but all of them have the same results. After giving permissions, the app closes automatically. How I do fix this? Can anyone help me?
Update: I just found out that all cameras, even Facebook's and Messenger's, won't work. Even the stock camera app.

try clearing cache & Dalvik cache and then dirty flashing the PE10 again.

it's a kernel issue, at least it was for me. I was trying sphinx 3.1 on xiaomi.eu 11.0.4.0 android Q but all camera's fc'd (after giving permissions). Reverting back to stock kernel (to be more precise i reflashed whole rom) fixed it for me

[Q]Upside down camera on some apps

Hi all,
Some camera applications like google goggles is now showing images upside down. I am using the rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446774.
Anyone having this same problem? Is there a solution for this?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry still a newbie, can't post on development thread.
Regards.
Yes, this is some sorta bug with these devices.
Btw, with Google talk, on the receiving end the image appears right side up, even though it is upside down for you.
I have just noticed this problem. It seems to be affecting some camera apps but not all. Not much clue on the cause of the problem. e.g. Camera Zoom FX, Angel Camera and the default camera seems to work but Vignette doesn't.
yes also mytubo and google+ hangouts.. i wish someone can fix this and also the compass

The rom you are using is essentially stock plus a custom kernel. Let me backtrack and see if this is due to the use of the custom kernel. If yes, it is probably a driver problem and we can report to the kernel thread.
It also sometimes appear with Skype on my device, with the back camera (yp-GB70 with GB.KRKPH). I thought it had something to do with rotation of the screen?
Just retry stock rom (XXKPF), the image is also upside down in some apps. Anybody else have similar problem on stock rom? If it happens only in some apps, I suspect that it is much likely that it is a problem of the app.
When I google about this kind of problem, I can see many apps often have up-side down image on their bug list (fixed or not fixed) for different kinds of devices.

Hey, just messing with google+, and I can't find anywhere to start a hangout! Help?
Ah, nvm, I see you need to be over 18 to use hangout.
(Why did I ever tell google my real age?? Epic facepalm!)
I had the same problem. But with the latest update via kies, the problem disappears. Even with a custom rom. For example, I 'm using rj's kernel, and with the latest stock rom, the upside down camera problem is gone.

[Q] Facebook upload

Hello all,
My girlfriend is having issues with her Galaxy Ace regarding Facebook uploading and Sharing. whenever she tries to share anything to facebook, it stays on 0% for around 10 minutes and gives error that it can't be uploaded, the same goes for any app that tries to upload to facebook. I have installed various roms and kernels and the problem still exists. Her account is working as I tried it on my phone and it uploads without any problems so it's not facebook that's causing it. Also I have logged into my account on her Ace and it still has the same error though so i'm quite confused
I have installed and removed various apps and it all gives pretty much the same upload problem, wonder if anyone had the same problem before and can help me with this?
her current rom is Xperiatized V7 and her kernel is [CF-Root-S5830 3.7] B84
many thanks in advanced
Mostly an app problem

Well not sure, but the previous kernel installed with Xperiatized given the same problem? was experimenting to see if it was the kernel that was giving the problem with uploading but the problem still exists lol any help on choosing the best rom or kernel even to fix this weird problem?
This is not an kernel or rom problem. Mostly seems an app or data packet size problem.
TeamCooper Developer
TheMyth Developer
really? is there a way to solve it as I don't seem to see anyone with the same issue as my girlfriend? it's a combiniation of apps like the official facebook for android, friendcaster, Instagram is experiencing this and it's been a full wipe and clear before Rom updates even when removing the app to redownload, clear cache, clear data and uninstall before reinstalling a fresh download from Play Store/Market and still the same thing, thanks for you help in this as i've been losing my whits trying to figure this out lol
also, this has been only tested uploading over wifi at the moment as 3g has been giving the same problems as this at the moment
Anyone can help me with this weird problem? i've checked everything on the phone, factory resets everything and still gives that error =[
-Try on wifi, use another ace as wifi router.
-try on different telco ?
-Do you use firewall app like droidwall ?
-maybe tweak script installed, remove it bcause some of them alter tcp/ip parameter.
-Try upload using, whatever browser on your phones. If succes then app problem, if same then rom problem.
-reflash stock rom, if your problem still there, then its time to reconsider to sent to samsung service or buy the new ones whatever brands.
Hi,
I've tried on my wifi router and few others, on my HTC incredible, I can upload no problem using my wifi connection but on my girlfriend's Ace, it either sits at 0% or jumps to 20% and doesn't move till it times out, these are small images only like 450k that i've tried uploading even tried bigger and still the same thing, tried to upload using the the default browser but facebook times out or redirects me to the android app page on google play.
there's no firewall, antivirus or anything like that on it and I haven't installed any tweak apps nor alter any settings other than ringtones and accounts and that's it really
i'm going to flash another rom at the moment to see if it improves the problem or remains the same, a stock rom you say? which one shall I use or where to get it?
many thanks for your help diditdr! =D
update. flash back to a stock ROM and it's working well but the upload problem exists by the gallery share, facebook app and even through the internet browser as well, it's like the phone is unable to upload anything at all? maybe blocked by facebook? not sure! wonder if anyone has input on this at all?
I have the same issue with facebook photos uploading. using Cm fat
you have the same problem as me wiceqq, you can't upload to facebook at all and in your notification area the facebook bit is in bold font and doesn't shift? no matter what app you use to upload it's the same thing?
wonder if anyone there can help us with this problem? it's not very common as I can't find anything about it on the web, anyone an help us?
I do have the same problem... Im just getting that error on 1.8.x version, it works fine on 1.7.x.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488937
really? can't upload through the internet browser either as it times out? would the app be causing that too by any chance?
Bump, does anyone know how to fix this problem at all? I've installed an older facebook app to see if that was the problem but it wasn't. It's still doing the same thing as I've described above in my earlier posts. can anyone help?

Have you tried any previous ROMS to see if the problem doesn't lie somewhere else?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764938&highlight=camera
So those two guys said that there cameras were working fine. So you can try those to ICS Roms. If not I suggest going back to stock.

[Q] Q&A CM11

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.

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

Camera and flash/flashlight (torch) not working and NOTHING changes this

So I'm really tearing my hair out over this.
A short while ago, Gcam stopped working, and the flashlight or torch option stopped working. Other people have reported this issue, with various fixes suggested. One was to flash the latest vendor firmware, which I did. Didn't work. Another one was to flash a Gcam fix by PixeL from the BSG Gcam port thread. Didn't work. I thought maybe it was an issue with Pixel Experience, so I flashed LOS. Now the camera worked, but only in certain modes and the flashlight/torch icon was still grayed out. Third party flashlight/torch apps still said it couldn't access the flashlight. I've even now tried a full, complete wipe of *everything* including internal storage and installed the latest MIUI beta and vendor from scratch. Nothing. Flashlight grayed out and camera only works in certain modes (if I go to slow-motion, for instance, it crashes and loses access to the camera).
This is so frustrating. Please, anyone, help. There are other people who have had this same issue, but all of them were able to find a way to fix it through flashing those fixes or whatever else. It's not working for me and it's making my experience with the phone really frustrating.
I Have been Facing Same Issue Since The Last Global Stable update
It Happens every once in a While But some reboots fixes the problem but since yesterday I Am not able to use the primary 12mp camera . I did reboot my device many time to get it working but nothing works now..... Did You Get Your Camera Working ?? Neither slow motion mode working nor portrait.... Slow motion mode instantly crashes the camera app and portrait mode gives the error of can't connect to camera.... If your Camera is working now please suggest the way to fix it it's really frustrating

For once download the fastboot rom of miui and flash it. FASTBOOT ROM. Can be both stable or beta but must be fastboot. Do not use twrp etc to flash.
USE MIFLASH TO FLASH THE FASTBOOT ROM.
Just use fastboot rom. If it still doesn't work, then it's probably a hardware issue.

I have similar problem with my Pixel Experience Plus ROM Android 11 on Zenfone Max Pro M2 X01BDA. The flashlight button is greyed out and says "camera in use"
No camera app came with the ROM so I installed GCam specified for X01BDA but anytime I open the app it says camera in use by another app
This problem is common with other ROMS I installed too ; Evolution X, Lineage OS 18.1

Actually it's not a software related issue ....in my case i got the camera sensor replaced by the service center under warranty which fixed my problem since then it's working fine... it's a hardware related issue ...so if you're camera switched to secondary camera and crashes on slow motion and portrait mode and also greyed out flash then none of the flashing tricks will work.
