[GUIDE][FIX]Gcam force close after flashing a pie based rom - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Guides, News, & Discussio

Hello everyone. I have seen in many threads that many guys out there are facing gcam force close issue after flashing a pie rom. Here's a fix! Delete the following files. Make a backup (just in case because who knows )
1) delete:
/system/framework/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.jar
2) if (1) doesn't work, then try deleting: /system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.camera.experimental2016.xml
3) reboot.
Do not delete the files containing "....experimental2017" because they do not seem to cause the force close.
Please Press thanks if it worked

[SOLVED] CameraRunner.exe not found (Problem caused by osKitchen alpha)

I've been trying to build my own ROM using osKitchen. Everything has worked and I've been able to upgrade a stock ROM to build 23569. The only problems I've had are with the panel and camera software. The panel and camera buttons on my phone don't work. Pressing either of them will give me an error that the program that should be launched can't be found. CameraRunner.exe is in the Windows folder. I am able to launch it but none of the icons for the UI and menus appear. I am still able to take pictures.
PanelManager.exe is different. When I run that I'm presented with a black screen. I am unable to do anything to close it. It hijacks the Today screen. Other than that the phone will still work normally.
I assumed that these problems were caused by changes I made to the ROM but that doesn't appear to be the case. I imported my stock ROM into osKitchen and built it without changing anything. The resulting ROM had the same issues.
I searched the forums but could not find a solution to this problem. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
For CameraRunner.exe, did you include the Xperia camera package?
For the Panels, you probably excluded one or more packages needed for this to run proper.
try this camera package

I initially thought that might be the case but I tried building the ROM with all original packages included and without any modifications and it still has this issue.

The package didn't help. Pressing the camera button gives me an error and the icons are still missing if I run CameraRunner.exe manually.
I was using OSKitchen too, having troubles(Not sure how to get it to the next rom or w/e) anyway to get camera to work, I used the X2 Camera Update as a package Use the Package Converter option up the top > choose cab > choose the camera > tick it > build ROM > Install ROM > Camera should work
Also my panel manager didnt work through OSKitchen either.
I figured out the problem. The alpha version of osKitchen doesn't copy the PROVXML files into the ROM, which means that the files for the camera and panel software won't be moved to their correct locations. The old version, 1.30v3, doesn't have this problem. The camera and panels work in the ROMs I've built using that version.
glad you could work it our
can you pls change thread title, like add [SOLVED] and rephrase to better describe the content?
thx a lot, appreciate your help
I added [SOLVED] to the title of the thread but I don't understand what you want me to rephrase.
hey, I meant it like this: you don't have problems with the file in one of the custom roms available here (with the need to just reinstall it) but while trying to cook your own and the problem was kitchen (oskitchen, alpha) related, so it would be nice to have that in the thread title to clarify the content and that it's dev related, nothing more, just a suggestion
thx and best

Miracle V4 sounds recorder problem.

I have flashed Miracle v4 for my phone.
Following the tutorial, i was able to get stuff like camera and calculator works.
But was unable to get sound recorder to work, it force closes everytime i press 'start recording'.
Any help ? Thanks in advance.
There now is a fix for it. Read the first few posts in the original Miracle V4 thread you should find the solution there!!
Thanks.
I read thru the first few posts again.
If you are talking about the tutorial which is this :
TUTORIAL 5: Recover System Apps than have been removed from V3
-- Place your desired app or apps on your sd-card
-- Use Root Explorer and copy them
-- Go to system\app and press the Mount R/W button on right top
-- Paste the app or apps you have selected
-- Long press what have you just pasted and set permissions to rw-r--r-- for each app
-- Reboot phone
Yes, i followed this. Was able to recover apps like camera. But sounds recording doesn't work.
If i misses out something, can you help me with pointing me to the particular fix for it ? I've done searching, and no people seems to be asking about sound recorder.
Thanks

Just download the latest version. It has a the video recording fix, BLN fix and 30volume step
Recording sound for me works perfectly, no FCs.
no it's not about that, it's something to do with video recording as well. There is a fix there I managed to sort the problem out myself. Alternatively you could redownload v4, the dev has now updated the original rom with the fix's added.
My video recording is working after changing the "true false" code stuff (not sure what it is called)
However the sound recording doesnt work.
I guess i will just do a reflash.
But an extra question, if i do a reflash, do I have to re backup all my apps and data ? Or i can just reflash without going to factory reset, dalvik wiping etc ?
Thanks
You can just flash over the top but you might have to reinstall some of you stock apps ie sms, music, gallery ect..
Thanks guys. I reflashed and it is working now.
My sound recorder works but in 3gp format. Is there a way to make it mp3 or whatever format?

Hey guys,
Recently a new bug has appeared on 4.4 roms, after updating the google services it gets force close on high accuary (with only gps its working fine). Anybody has an idea how to solve the problem?

Hello my friend. I faced up this annoying problem. the problem solved after i followed these suggestions fromTPD-21(post 414 ) . because i found it complicated to make it on a already Installed rom i made a clean installation and i followed the instructions from the step 3. Works on any kit kat rom for our phone and is permanent solution.
With the last Google Play Services update (8.3), the issue is solved
EDIT
After a few weeks, the problem was back again. I solved it (permanently, I hope) by taking the following steps:
1. Download modified libjavacore.so from here and put it on your external SD
2. Make a nandroid backup (just in case)
3. Open any root file explorer, go to "system/lib" and make a backup copy of the original libjavacore.so
4. Copy the NEW libjavacore.so in "system" (not in "lib" yet) and change permissions in -rw-r-r- (same as the old file)
5. Copy (don't cut/paste!) the NEW libjavacore.so with modified permissions in "system/lib" and overwrite the old one
6. Reboot
7. Delete the modified libjavacore.so still present in system
This worked for me. I'm on CarbonROM 4.4.4 with CWM with the last Play Services update (8.3.01)

[TUTORIAL] Manually port T-Mobile Alliance ROM 5.0.1 to Verizon Dev Edition (12/8/15)

** Got Verizon Note 4 Dev Edition to work with Alliance T-Mobile ROM!! Data, calling, sms, mms work ! I smell a daily driver! I am not a developer, but this manual port taught me a lot. This was a personal project of trial and error, and research that turned into a stable ROM. Thought I'd share how I did it. I do not take credit for this ROM or kernel**
DISCLAIMER: Your warranty is now void. Please be careful make a nandroid of your current Verizon ROM. I am not responsible if you break your phone or lose data on your device! Read this whole OP!
**This is using the BETA version of Alliance ROM for T-Mobile Note 4. Download the Alliance BETA and read the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-0-1-allianceromn910t-18-themes-huge-t3085560 to get an idea of the features of this ROM. Give lacoursiere18 and hsbadr a thanks and donate to them for making this great ROM and kernel.
Follow these steps one after the other and don't stop**
1. Make sure you are on a OAF Lollipop ROM without xposed installed. I think I used Rick's OAF Lollipop ROM originally. Download the most recent multisystem kernel. I am on BOG modem so I'm pretty sure any Lollipop modem will work with this.
2. On your Verizon Lollipop ROM make copies on your SD card of:
- system/buildprop.xml & cscversion.txt
- system/etc/apns-config.xml
- system/etc/permissions/verizon_net_sip_library.xml & vzwapnlib.xml
- system/lib/libril.so & libsec-ril.so
- system/apps/VzwActivationAgent, vzwapnpermission & **SecSetupWizard2013**
- system/framework/VZWAPNLib.apk
- system/privapp/VZWAPNService & secmms_candy folders
- system/csc folder
4. Reboot into recovery and make a TWRP backup of everything except SD card.
5. While in recovery dirty flash Alliance ROM BETA on top of your lollipop ROM OAF (Wipe everything EXCEPT data, internal storage, and SD). Then flash the most recent multisystem kernel.
6. Once booted up and apps are optimized wait until the screen turns off by itself. Download root browser and delete system/privapp/diagmonagent.apk and system/lib/libdiagmonagent.so because at startup it was sending some kind of diagnostics and thought it was messing with the data drop. Ever since these changes and a reboot data has been stable!
Reboot
7. Using root browser, swap those copied files in the appropriate file location. Change them to the correct permissions (the folders get 0755 and the files 0644, compare with other files and folders that are in place already. Make sure you change the permissions on all folders copied over and their contents. If a permission is incorrect or you leave a file out there can be issues and a restore might be needed.). Let apps optimize. **Longest Step**
Reboot
8. Edit feature.xml in the system/csc folder and add:
<CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>true
</CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>
Above the two bottom tags:
</FeatureSet>
</SamsungMobileFeature>
This enables auto download mms when data is toggled off !
Reboot
9. Perform a factory reset within the settings. Let phone relax for like 10 mins after it boots. Go through the setup wizard and then reboot.
Reboot into recovery
10. Make an backup in TWRP and you have your own custom ROM
I'm pretty sure this ROM is not compatible with xposed but it is very customizable, smooth, and it comes with a lot of features built in.
**READ ME**
Bugs:
- Silent mode is only available using the toggle. Volume down only goes to vibrate.
**
- Battery section in settings is missing
- No way to remove battery percentage in status bar
(Workaround: Download "Battery Usage Shortcut" from the Playstore to access the battery section and to remove battery percentage)
**
- No way to uninstall 3mint battery mod without messing the systemui up **(see update at the bottom)**
- Now that the mobile network settings are correct the advanced calling option is avaliable but it force closes and messes up your data connection. A reflash of everything will be needed so don't click on it! (I have a feeling a Verizon app is missing)
- My volume titles are not correct (Ringtone, media, notifications, and system.) when I press the volume buttons. (**Workaround download Noyze Volume Panel for free from the developer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-noyze-volume-panel-replacement-t2875501
Give Tombarr a thanks for developing such a slick and customizable app**)
11/18/15:
- Just started using voicemail for the first time in 6 years. Good thing because today I experienced a glitch that it would not let me hang up the phone after listening to voicemails for some reason, but it didn't do that when I was clearing voicemails. (Hangs up automatically after a certain amount of time) Maybe it happens to new voicemails. Also I'm assuming since the verizon voice mail app isn't installed I get a weird unreadable verizon text when I get a new voicemail.
- One hand mode is not in the settings. Not sure why
Any suggestions or thoughts about these current bugs would be helpful.
I cannot guarantee all Alliance settings will work (stay away from performance), but most does work and it's awesome!
This manual port is now stable and buttery smooth! All basic phone functions work. Let me know if you come across any bugs or issues not related to Alliance settings. I will try to help fix it.
Thanks Stedrocklp for taking the time to try and get this working. Jal3223 thanks for sharing that key porting info!!! Wouldn't be possible without your help! Thanks hsbadr for developing Multisystem kernel ! Thanks lacoursiere18 for creating this ROM !
UPDATE:
To update Alliance settings to the most recent version and remove 3mintbattery mod download the newest T-Mobile Alliance ROM v1.1
1. Use ES File Explorer and click on the Alliance ROM you just downloaded to open the archive.
2.
- Extract system/privapp/SystemUI/SYSTEMUI.apk
- In the system/app folder extract AllianceControl folder (towards the top) and all the loose apps without folders at the bottom to a folder on your sd card.
3. Make a system and data backup in TWRP just in case things go wrong. Reboot system
4. Swap all those files and folders in their appropriate file locations and change the folder permissions to 755 and files to 644. Take this step slow and make sure the old files are renamed to .old or overwritten. If a permission is incorrect or you leave a file out there can be issues and a restore might be needed.
5. In system/app folder delete the old loose Alliancecontrol.apk, and delete 3mintbattery.apk
6. Reboot and enjoy!
This is the final release of this ROM so we are all up to date ! :good:
Wondering if this will work for sprint or any rom

I'm pretty sure it would but you need to figure out the sprint specific apps to make the system happy. And flash your sprint kernel after you dirty flash. The dirty flash skips the setup which makes it possible to boot correctly.
Would you mind sharing the Rick's ROM that you used? I looked at his thread, but the download links are no longer available. Thank you in advance for your help!

Damn thats not good. I do not think I am allowed to share the ROM, as it's not mine. But I do not know how to share it anyways. I would just odin back to 4.4.4. and go through the upgrade process to OAF. Or you can try to de-xpose MoRom after a clean flash. I think there are two things you need to remove one being the xposed installer and the other I don't know the exact name but use root browser, search for xposed in the system folder, delete it, and reboot. No sure if it will messed anything up but I don't think it will. Then dirty flash the alliance beta and continue from there. Let me know how it goes!

Thank you for your response. I ODIN'd back to OAF and went through the steps in your tutorial. My phone booted up and I then proceeded to replace the files/folders and set permissions. I thought I was careful, but once I tried to reboot, the phone would not come back up.
Is there a way to make the changes (file permissions and replacing them in the ROM) on a PC?
Is there a way to share your edited files so that we could simply paste them into the ROM?
Just thought I would ask. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Damn thats a bummer. Even if I shared the files you would still need to change the permissions. I think it is possible unzip a verizon ROM and unzip Alliance rom and replace the files and then zip it back up on the computer and then dirty flash that but everytime I zip it back up it never flashes. It seems that when I zip it back up it adds an extra folder that makes it unflashable but haven't taken the time to figure out how to make it work. Try starting over and getting the ROM to boot then make a nandroid of that so you have something to restore. This is what I did when I was trying to get everything working. Next time try not adding the camera files and .jar file and add them after a reboot. Let me know how it goes.
Added the setup as one of the files to copy over so a factory reset can be performed to make sure you're starting with a fresh system. This is the first day I did this and I had to pull the battery twice due to freezes after I factory reset. I didn't let the phone sit and let it settle. I would recommend you let it sit and relax for like 10 mins. I have not had any lock ups since this morning. Lemmi know how it goes!
After the factory reset the ROM is flying. As for the battery I cannot say yet but I know I did not have the best battery life on this ROM before. It did get me through the day so I was happy about that. I calibrated the battery but that is about it. If any devs knows any battery optimizations that can be made to the system without xposed please share!
I heard from a user that Xposed works on this ROM. I personally do not use it though. As for battery life I've noticed better results after I disabled automatic check for updates in the settings. Settings > About device > Software Updates and uncheck auto check for updates. This ROM for some reason does not have the audio issues that I experienced on MoROMs ROM. I am happy about that. Now that we finally have the 5.1.1. update I am going to try and port a ROM that looks good. If anybody wants to give this a stab with me that would be great to test multiple ROMs from different carriers and see which one gives us the best results. Thanks
Got something amazing in the works!
Nandroid backup
Can someone send me a nandroid backup of this I'm worried about messing up my phone up
Is there a way to install this rom in the same manner as the kyobi note 5 port? I'm running that now, but would like to try this one out. I've tried a few times but just can't seem to get this one up and running.
Thanks in advance and have a blessed day!

It's not that simple. A data fix would need to be made and that is out of the scope of my knowledge. But when I have some free time, possibly this weekend, I can attempt to come up with something for you to try.

I don't recommend dirty flashing from Kyubi. You should try clean flashing MoRom then copying those files from the system. Then dirty flash Alliance, then multisystem kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...opment/kernel-multiystem-kernel-v1-0-t3105603
And just follow the OP instructions.
