Take some picture and try to edit it from camera app. Gallery opens on second and then closes.

Yeap i have the same problem. just replace gallery app with this one : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3unaNNj7pBNaGx2ckVVNFVBbGc/view?pli=1 (system/app, permissions 0644 (rw-r--r--) ) do not forget backup old gallery.

solved by slavka1988 from 4pda

Newer roms

Hi.
I want to comment on two ROMs I've tried.
Please not I don't use Data Connection, just Wifi.

SlimCat 2.1:

It's really nice, and light, I think it's close to AOSP.
All the apps I use work just fine: Gravitybox, Adaway, Youtube Adaway, Amplify, Print Spool, etc.
Although, I have a few issues:
Speaker too high (I have to use a DSM manager to lower volume all the time)
WiFi signal is low (there are a few fixes out there, that increase signal a little)
1 or 2 weekly reboot (maybe issues with my SD).

Alice Project 9.1.2:

It has a nice "L" interface, and a lot of customization features.
All hardware features work, GPS, Wifi, BT.
I few issues I have:
Google Cloud Print doesn't work. Gravity box seems to cause issues with systemui.
Battery duration is not that good, I have to disable "Ok Google" setting to extend battery life (I always do it anyway).

I think I'm going back to SlimCat now.
Regards.

What's Alice Project 9.0 Revolution like? As well, is English an option in it, or is it all in Russian?

I have upgraded from the stock 4.2.2 and I thought I'd never get my original phone back but the mobile upgrade to seems to work no matter what. Try that

This is a question for anyone else who may be using the TCL950 ROM - is any one ride getting an "incorrect charger being used" message on start up? And if so how can I fix?

It took forever to get it working, however, you need an older version of the Xposed Framework. Install Xposed 2.3.1 and Gravitybox will work properly. When running Xposed though, DO NOT update the Xposed binary or it will break! Once you get playing with it though and do some build.prop editing, it can look like a totally different device.
What version of GB works with 2.3.1?

It won't even let me download it. Gives error 1000
Make sure you're using the proper version. GB KK will only work on KitKat, as well as GB JB only works on Jelly Bean. If it doesn't work, go to the official threads for them and download it from there directly, then sideload it onto your device or install it from the SD card if you downloaded it using your device's browser.

Side load means installing from computer via USB cable?

That, or copy the APK to your device and install it from a file explorer.
Trying now.

Now when I go to check GB in XP it has a red message that says "this module requires a newer xposed bridge"

Should I dl the latest XP and replace the bridge file?

2.3.1 should work, it's what I'm running. Downloading the newer Xposed will have GB bootloop your device. Try finding other versions of 2.3.1 online, or check the Xposed Repository for it. It should work. You're on 4.2.2 right?
