Hello everyone, im new to the forum. I rooted my phone about a month ago. I am not using a custom rom or anything and my camera stopped working properly about 2 weeks ago. Everytime I open the camera app, it does not give a clear picture. everything is in purple and blue. Has anyone ever had this problem?
Thanks for any help

So I take it your a on stock rom with root access? Try flashing another rom, or restore a backup?
Yea I am on a stock rom. I did restore it the first time that happened and it worked for 2 weeks, but it happened again.
Are you changing any settings? You may want to try sprint lovers rom, its pretty much the exact stock rom you're on now. I'm not too familiar witht he camera just stopping on ya.

I've had this problem FAR too long. I'm running a custom ROM but whether i revert to a stock ROM or not, the problem does not go away. Whenever I try to load my camera, the screen just stays black. There is no camera icon for when the app is loading it's just black.
I've had my phone for over a year and i think taking it to sprint is out of the question. I could load a stock ROM to bring it in i just think it's been too long.
I'm using Deck's ICS right now and am aware that the camera doesn't work for the version i am on. I'm flashing to the stock ROM now so that those doubts can be set to rest.
Has anyone experienced this problem and how did they fix it?

So i did a full wipe 3 times and put back a stock ROM and it DOES work. The reason i posted was because the problem was becoming progressively worse and the last few ties i put stock on it didn't work. but now perhaps with the three wipes it did! We'll see how long this lasts...
Hi guys,
Here are the symptoms
My Galaxy Nexus（GSM) was rooted with wutfresh 1.4, and flashed with AOKP 4.0.4, everything went OK, except for the camera. it will take pictures, but nothing was saved in Gallery. when I try to record video, the app just quit on its own. ppl suggest re-flashing it. so I flashed it with 4.1 Jelly Bean. funny thing is problem persist. so i guess something went wrong with rooting it?
I'm totally new to this rooting thing. so please help
someone help plz
Try deleting Gallery.apk in /system/app and reinstalling a fresh one maybe (don't forget to change permissions)?
Howdy folks, first post
I have 2 Samsung Galaxy S3 I747Ms from Bell running stock 4.1.2, and have recently rooted both.
On the first one, everything is running fine, despite the horribly cracked screen.
On my better-condition phone, every time I try to use the front-facing camera, it hangs for 10-15 second then displays the "Camera Failed" popup.
It did not do this before rooting, I have flashed back to bell's stock 4.1.2 FW several times, all of which fixed the camera.
It only fails when it's rooted, so no hardware suggestions pls.
Anything I can do, such as copying system files from the good S3 to the other?
Thanks in advance for any help you may provide
I don't see how rooting breaks the camera?

If it's only a root and not a custom rom flash, then there's no reason your camera would stop working. I'm thinking hardware defect.

It turned out to be software somehow. Fixed it, but Still baffled.
Hello all, I was wondering if anyone else have been having problems with lolipop. Iv been rooting phones and doing roms for a few years now.
But some probelms iv had is that when i miss a call system ui crashes. And if i get a voicemail it wont tell me. Also google maps wont work when i open it it just crashes instantly, and vine crashes very frequently. Everything else works fine. I tried going back stock and the problems still ocur no matter what rom or kernel im on.
Im currently running lolipop with alliance rom. Thanks for the help!
Check your rom thread. No problems like that at all on the stock rooted lollipop rom on my phone.
