Nope..
And when I press the on/off button to lock and unlock, the screen does turn off and back on but I dont have to swipe to unlock or anything.. just the same black screen.. ;/

EDIT: It just happened again right after I posted this message I pulled down the status bar and then it froze, and the pulled down status bar was the only thing to see untill I rebooted..(again)

Stock rom because of the audio bug in CM.
No mods, just a couple of xposed modules but Ive been using these forever and never had any problems because or them.
I now remember when this problem exactly started; I downloaded and installed The Walking Dead season 1 and this is when it first happened when I started the game my phone froze.. I rebooted and tried again for like 3 times before the game finally started.
But I dont believe a game could cause something like this?

Its very strange
Maybe the game got in conflict with a module?

Can you read logcats?

Android "writes" down every little detail what it makes in a text file which is called logcat and probably you can see there what causes this force close

So where can I find this log? So I can take a look.

I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48392009&postcount=1

and am wondering if there's a post somewhere with a comprehensive list of saferoot compatible devices. (Or if I should post after doing the research. Just trying to get my 10 posts in as productively as possible...)
Thats for 4.3 devices try this one instead:

Camera flash issue

Hi,

I'm using a Galaxy Express I8730 running the firmware originally provided (Android 4.1.2 by SFR). I notice that when I try to take pictures in a dark room, the flash does not properly light up the surrounding when i focus on an object or area of the room.

However, the brightness of the flash increases once I press the camera icon. Shouldn't focusing on an object produce a flash level which is of the same intensity as the one used when capturing the image?

I'd appreciate some help on this issue.

Thank you

Go to SamMobile and make an account, then go to Firmware and you can search for your Odin-flashable ROM there. Usually it's linked to hotfile but now it seems they're using direct download so I can't post the link.

You can also look here, I see it in the list:
samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I8730

You have to copy-paste the link in browser, I'm new here and I'm not yet allowed to post outside links here.

No need for an account.
@toxious651 recommends you use the terafile.co link, to download, scroll to the bottom under "Free" and click a link that says "Regular", close the popup, enter the captcha when the countdown is done and click "Create Download Link". I can confirm it works like a charm.

Cheers :cowboy:
