As many of you will be aware, Samsung and more specifically for our needs, LG, devices have a strange SystemUI Crash when casting from certain apps (mainly the Google ones).
Why does this occur?
Well it is because LG and Samsung modify their status bar to include volume sliders, even if you disable the sliders the code still exists and this clashes with the way casting apps operate.
So for the fix, I asked my good friend @HomerSp to take a look at this error for me, now he doesn't have an LG G3 and this didn't benefit him at all, but he did it to help me, and for the fun of it, so all thanks should be directed to him.
He has built us an xposed module that stops the crash, as far as my testing has gone it seems to be working fine now.
The APK is attached.
Homer tells me he doesn't have paypal at the moment so don't worry about donating, if you really feel compelled to then please donate to charity, or give it to me and I will ensure that it ends up with either Homersp or a charity.
Are you a samsung user that found this page?
This module might fix your errors too, its worth a try it can't cause any harm as you can simply deactivate it if it doesn't work, or gives you different errors.
I can confirm this works ☺
Thanks

This fix worked for me running g3 ROM on my g2. Even on YouTube
Brilliant! It works on for Google Play Music.
After a few reboots it works for me too. YouTube was very lazy. Now it's okay

Yep, confirmed working for Youtube and Play Music. Kudos to the dev.
Hey guys, I just uploaded the source code to Github in case anyone wants to have a look at how I fixed this bug: https://github.com/HomerSp/XposedCastFix.
EDIT: I also added some information about why this bug occurs, in hopes that either Samsung and LG, or Google (yes, it's as much their problem as it is the manufacturers) fix this problem.
A lot of us are noticing the ATT and Sprint variant of the phone does not come with the brightness or volume slider in notifications. Can you shed some light as to how those of us who don't use cast can add the sliders back?
Any chance to get that working for the Samsung Note 10.1 2014?
Same issues with the installed apk as without it.

Whilst the crash on the Samsung is caused by the same problem (existence of the volume sliders) the exact crash might be different as Samsungs code will differ from LG's.
We would need to see a logcat of the Samsung crash in order to know what needs patching.

As lenny said, I will need a logcat to check what needs fixing. It might be that more methods in AudioManager need patching.

For your information, Xposedcastfix worked smoothly (screen mirroring) on Note 10.1 2014 LTE (P605) after installation (but without audio playing Asphalt7)). It stopped working after first disconnect. System UI has been crashing ever since. Worked with audio on second try after deactivating module/reactivating/reboot, but not on third and fourth tries.
I only have problem with 'Screen mirroring' but not chromecasting you tube etc.
Thanks

Does SystemUI crash or hang (Force Close vs App Not Responding)? @Zod09999 has the same device (a Note 10.1 variant) and SystemUI hangs there. We are working on a fix for that.

Hi guys I found this app was up for beta testing here at XDA developed by elnoxvie, its similar to Smart Stay & works on GB ROMs too. I'm posting it here so that if any there are any compatibility problems with our handset it could be ironed out by the developer.
- Go to the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708012
- Get the latest beta & test it on your R.
- Report on the same thread your observations & problems you faced.
- Beta testers will get a discount.
The app is out of Beta & is available at the Play store. I have done beta testing for the app with my stock GB ROM, it was working fine & Galaxy R has been granted support. But it may not work on some custom ROMs.
Here are links:
1. SmartStay Ex Lite
2. SmartStay Ex Pro
Cheers!
Bro I read you wrote there that it is working for you but it is not for me on NEO ROM 2.1!!
I can only hear Stupid camera clicks and the screen goes off even if i am watching it.
I hope you be the Representative there and Report all the issues faced so that we can get a Nice Working Release !:angel:

You'll have to report yourself cause he may try to understand your problem & ask you submit logs which only you can do.
So I'll request everyone to post your observations after testing it in the original thread as it'll help the developer in making it fully compatible with our device.
Ehhh !! i installed this app, but how do i know whether this is working or not, i can only hear camera clicks !!
I've installed it for some minutes. I think that you need to restart the phone after installing the app, but, first, enable the boot option inside it.
I suppose that those clicks are real photos been taking by the phone, I also hear it... just a bug. The app is trying to analyze the face and it's searching for the eyes.
If you want to try it, set the display timeout to 15s (in phone's settings), turn on your room's light and put the mobile to a reasonable distance from your face, you'll see that it doesn't switch off the screen, after this, just leave it far from you and, if everything is ok, it should go to sleep in some seconds.
The software need to mature a lot, it consumes tons of CPU time and, eventually, it starts to eat all the ram and CPU, leaving your phone in a semi-freezed mode, I was able to restart it but took some time.
Besides that, it did its function, it kept the display on while I was watching at it, and afterwards it put it to sleep.

By sending a log you are sending some sensitive information to this app's developer. I think this is how it's done though I'm not 100% sure:
- First download & install the new v1.4 of the app.
- Now start /open the app, after clicking on 'OK' lock your device once by pressing the lock key.
- Now click on 'Send Logs' in the app. It'll ask you to download & install a log collector app so install it & open it.
- Next Tick 'Debug' and go through the process of running the app when you are facing the front Cam with some distance between you & your front Cam so as to let it try to detect your face. Now let it run once when you do not face the front Cam.
- Next Click on Send logs once again then click on OK.
- It'll then allow you to Email the log to this app's developer.
- If the app works then don't send the logs.
Hope this helps. Cheers !
App is out of Beta & it's available for download at the Play store. Check OP for the links & more info.

It does work in landscape mode AFAIR but it's hard to keep your face in the field of view of the front camera in the landscape mode.
Yep you are right about others except the lagging part but that can vary from person to person.
The app is working, however, the shutter sound is very annoying. Just imagine when you fall asleep and suddenly hear that noise.

There's an option to turn off the shutter sound but it's a temporary fix as it switches the handset into 'Silent' mode for the duration of the shutter sound which affects others functions of the handset as well.

I don't own a note but I'm thinking of getting one, and therefore I know nothing of this issue, but it's nice to see that people are getting hands on to fix little niggles like this.
Would it be at all possible to run the script on a long press of the button on the stylus?

Well, I really like my Note phone so would encourage others Unfortunately, I am not sure about the actual S-Pen SDK since I have only glanced at it long enough to see nothing in it that would seem to do the job my program attempts to "fix". I actually just set things up to run automatically on a periodic basis and then I just do not have to worry about it at all. I am completing work now on a new version of the original program that incorporates this and some additional convenience features. Cheers!
Cool idea for an app but as far as I have seen, the Note 10.1 doesn't have a dominant hand setting.

You may well be right about this. I checked the manual located here and do not see any mention of that specifically. On my N7000 phone with Android 4.0.4, there is an entry under settings called Pen Settings. Under this there are options for Dominant hand and for Hovering pen icon. Seems slightly odd to me that this should not be available on a 10.1 but I really have no idea. RETIEF's reply (above) indicated that my app worked on his device (a GT N8013) so the underpinnings that my app requires seem to be there even if there otherwise it would show an error message. Thanks for the info.

App Now On App Store
I have paid Google and have posted this app on the Play Store. I have also been at work on a new version that will incorporate a more complete UI (easy to be more complete that what is in this version), scheduled operations, and the ability to toggle auto-rotate as well as dominant hand (as some sources claim this helps with issues related to landscape versus portrait mode). Thanks to all for your feedback as this has encouraged me to go further!
Hey thanks for your app, but I think it's not working for me (N8010 JB), ther is a message popup "Pen configuration file not found).

Thanks for your feedback. I have had another person with a Note 10.1 tell me the device lacks a setting for the pen's dominant hand (left/right) that the phones have. Not sure why this is the case. But if it does, the error message you received is exactly what should be displayed.
I cannot recall right now if the original apk, posted in the link referred to top of this thread had that check in it or not. Did you ever try that? And if so, did it appear to run and give a success message? If so, did you notice any improvement in the SPen's accuracy?
Thanks!
Hey, I've tried the apk of the link provided in this thread, same message as with play store version.

Thanks makiiiii! Let me ask if you experience any issues with the S-Pen in your tablet? If so, what are they. Perhaps there is some change I can make to bypass this issue and still help tablet users (since the tablets seem different than the phones). Thanks!
I'm getting not the same issue, but after some time the spen is just slowing down (drawn line way behind the spen), and when i'm writing, parts of letters/numbers are not recognized. This became more ugly since update to JB. (For me it looks like backgroud processes are producing spen inaccuracy, but maybe I'm wrong).
Thanks for your help!

Hello and thanks again for your test and feedback on this. I have another user of a Note II who is experiencing hangs when trying to run my app. He too is on a Note II and as I have only a N7000 with ICS I am having trouble helping out. Can you confirm:
(a) Is your firmware stock other than being rooted? If so, what is your firmware number? If not, what is your setup (which ROM, kernel, su program)?
(b) Have you tried the app as downloaded from the Play Store and did that work?
Thanks

Hello and thanks for this response. Can I confirm that:
(a) You ran this on a Note 10.1 tablet?
(b) It gave a success message after tapping the app's icon?
(c) Does your tablet's settings include a dominant hand setting (left/right)? Other users say their tablets do not which indeed would cause my app to give an error message (but not crash).
(d) What is the model number and firmware number of your tablet?
Thanks for your help with this.
Reset Spen Pro Now Available
A low priced version of this app is now available on the Play Market. It offers additional convenience and other features including scheduled background operation and suppression of success messages. If the free version works on your device, I hope you will consider the Pro version. Thanks!

It should be good, you can double check it is working correctly by going to Google Maps for example, Tinder sometimes has problems finding people in some places (maybe server related) or you may have changed your location too often, so give Tinder some time and it should work (if there are actually any people in that place).
Thanks!

Hey, really trying to reproduce this but it works fine for me on old or the newest Tinder version on Android 4.4.4

Maybe give Tinder some time to get your new location? If you check Google Maps and see your location has changed then the app works correctly and Tinder may just be slow sometimes.

Hi, so I actually gave to Tinder some time and it worked with the 4.4.4 version, update released on December 2015 (pretty old) and it worked.
You say that even more recent versions work for you? I really tried them all, sometimes they worded but too many no, till going back to this 4.4.4.

So I played around with the newest Tinder version and it did seem to be stuck on finding people and it didn't update to my new location, but then I tried to log out and log back in and it worked then. Not quite sure what happens, maybe it just needs more time, either way - logging out and logging back in seems to be the quickest way to make it update your location and show you people.

That's right, but it seems the older versions work without the log out and log in thing right away.

This tool is useful for apps like Tinder where you can change your location and explore new places.
You will need to enable mock locations on your phone from Developer options for the app to work. To enable Developer options go to Settings - About and tap Build number 7 times.

I like Cyanogenmod, but the big issue I have with it is it's 'incompatibility' with Google Camera; it crashes every time I open it.
On stock ROM (RUU) the camera works just fine. The main difference I notice just before it crashes is that it uses the new look as seen on the Pixel/Nexus phones.
The other issue is not being able to restore from a backup when setting it up.

Thanks. I didn't get a chance to post back yet, but I tried the paid version of Snap-HDR that I've owned for some time and it works okay after disabling the stock camera app. It works, so far as I can tell, but it had force-closed on me a couple of times. I might try wiping and reinstalling with a slim set of Gapps without the camera app. Then install Snap-HDR as the primary. It is MUCH better than anything CM or Google have introduced to date.
Will post back the results.

Well, ultramanoid has a hiaeuhl, not the u.s. variant
This thread is a starter for the GCAM devs to hopefully provide us a working GCAM for the essential phone based on the new update. As of right now, you need to be on P at a minimum.
YOU NEED TO HAVE LOGCATS FOR HELP How to LOGCAT 101
You can also use a ondevice logcat tool, like matlog. I clear matlog, start it, directly create my problem, go back to matlog, stop it, then sort by "CAM" in this case, so i can see all camera related errors, then save it.
The idea is this.... all of the major gcam devs have the OP6 or something that isn't the essential phone. If we politely tag them, and have a logcat in hand, perhaps we can get support quicker for our device.
OP6 GCAM Thread
THIS IS FOR READING PURPOSES ONLY, DO NOT SPAM THEIR THREAD WITH REQUESTS, THERE WILL BE FM ACTION IN DOING SO
here is the link for @Arnova8G2 first beta
BETA 1
Hopefully, this will help get the ball rolling. Once i get home from work, i will have logcats for slo-mo, and no-hdr later.
If anybody else wants to help, again, please be descriptive with your problem, and provide a good logcat
@Arnova8G2 and @cstark27 (even though I know your moving on)
Here are logs:
1. Slomo crash. Slomo worked on test3, as long as we patch media profile, it works in general
2. No ability to take picture with hdr off
3. Taking a picture with zoom
I know these are already issues by in large. Maybe my logs will help.
Thank you for your help
Luckily for us. We have a pretty versatile phone at this point.
Tolyan009 just released his first build. It works out of the box. Here is the link.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-tolyan009/#apk524
al-ro from 4pda has some good stuff too, Where tolyans right now is pretty basic but effective, al-ro has ported some of the bsg mods over.

The only things I find right now as "bugs" I guess is there is no lens button in more tab. Might be a us problem, but I'm not quite sure how to figure out if it's there or not.
Added newest al-ro build to 3rd post.
I'm curious if you have seen/looked at this before - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/themes/magisk-google-camera-telephoto-lens-t3767531 It's a mod for the Xiomi Mi A1 to be able to use the 2nd rear camera (telephoto) with Google Camera. I haven't tried it yet, kind of afraid to bootloop since it appears specific to the A1 phone. But was curious if what they've done can help get the monochrome camera working on Gcam and other apps in a similar way.
I know you (I think?) had discussed the challenges and limitations of this when asking Essential for support in an AMA in July/August in which Essential basically said "no." But wasn't sure if anything done with the A1 is different than what you've tried.

I spoke to cstark about this with the Nokia 8 ages ago and the basic idea was that if the secondary camera doesn't show up in camera identifier in the Camera2test app then there's literally no way to make this work.

Thats what ive come across as well. Im just curious though.... How is it hidden from apps like this. I know in build.prop there is a aux cam white list for apps. but ive tried adding all the package names...nothing. What are we missing, how does klik camera turn it on....

It does indeed. Great work @Arnova8G2 !
Finally good slow-mo recordings *with* sound available.
Photobooth still mysteriously crashes when first shot is processing.

I still can't get any of these apps to quick launch from a locked ascreen with the power button shortcut. I'm just getting an error message about permissions. Is anyone else getting this or is it something I have installed that's causing the problem?
I logcatted it. Doesn't tell me much of anything unfortunately. Like what permission it wants perhaps.

Happens on my device too. It actually didn't back when using some of the first Arnova8G2's 6.1.x builds (sorry I can't remember which exact versions).
There is a *partial* solution to launching it from lockscreen - wether it is actually locked or not - by simply having the app in memory.. But that's obviously far from ideal.
Was gonna try to gather some (hopefully) helpful logs but.. :

It's really weird.
Using SystemUI Tuner, I can also confirm the very same thing happens when swiping the corresponding lockscreen shortcut.
(OT : By the way, don't know why they were originally removed since adding back phone & camera shortcuts does make the bottom messages corresponding to the targetted function : "swipe right to make a call" & "swipe left to open camera".. something like that anyways)

I can confirm that Photobooth crashes on my PH-1 too. Can anyone provide a logcat to Arnova8G2?
Thank you for this! Much better than the stock essential phone app. Makes my essential that much better.
Is there a source link to al-ro gcam ports??
