The problem with the camera I'm having is when I use it my EVO reboots. I'll open the camera app up and get ready to take a pic. As soon as I trigger the shutter it reboots. I did flash RLS1 over RC2 could that be the cause? Myn said it could be flashed over RC2 OK. I think I'll wipe tonight and do a fresh install of RLS1 and see if that fixes the problem. This is a FANTASTIC ROM!!!
I flashed RLS1 over RC2 and my camera works just fine. Try wiping cache and dalvik. If that doesn't work, try reflashing RLS1.

Fresh synergy rc2 install with full wipe. Evo reboots after taking a few pictures. Picture before reboot doesnt save to sdcard

I wiped the cache and dalvik and that seems to have worked. I started the camera and took a pic with no re-booting.

Um.....yea ur supposed too
You should always full wipe, but at minimum dalvik cache and cache.
Even if it is the same updated rom (rc1 to rc2) you should still full wipe if you dont want issues.

I've used Cyanogen Mod for quite a while without issue. Then, last week my camera started force closing. So far as I knowing didn't change any settings or install an app that would mess with it. Haven't updated radios, etc...it just stopped. I've cleared the cache in apps settings, there is space on the card.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
clear cache and dalvik from recovery, and reboot. If that doesnt work, you will probably have to reflash the rom.

Shouldn't lose anything, as you are just clearing cache files. However, it can never hurt to do a backup first, only takes a couple minutes.
Ugh. I did a full wipe and upgraded to 7.1 (was on 7.0.2)...Camera is still FC'ing...again, it works with other apps (Vignette, Goggles) but not the stock camera. It worked just fine until two weeks ago...and then, nothing. No clue why. :/
Well, now it works...I did one more wipe and it just started working. Thanks!
Try fix permissions, worked for me

I've installed ROMs before so I'm not a complete noob, but I'm clearly doing something wrong and would like some help.
I've tried installing 3 different JB ROMs (Kobridge tweaked FL04, Jellyverse0.3, JB Black Bean) and everytime I boot up into the Sprint animation and it hangs every single time at the big 4G. I'm coming from BluKuban which I return to every time after flashing EL29 direct boot through pc Odin.
This is what I've been doing:
Installed EL29 direct boot or EL26 stock
cleared cache, davlik and run Format_All_X2
Installed JB modem
installed ROM
run Format All X2 again
A couple of files might be different depending on the ROM instructions, but that's what I've been doing.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Don't flash format all zip after flashing rom zip.
You are wiping system right after flashing rom so there is no system and thus you don't boot.

Thanks for the suggestion, but format_all_x2.zip just wipes data, cache and dalvik, doesn't it? I use it all the time when reflashing Ruj's BluKuban.

Its not a suggestion. Its your FIX. It wipes system. I hope you are not confusing format all x2 zip with modified_format all zip. The modified zip wipes only the caches.
As such there is NO need to wipe after flashing the ROM..
Are you following the directions on the OP of each ROM?
If not... do it, that is how you fix your problem.

Yes I am, unless I'm misunderstanding something. That list is what seemed to be in common to all three.

Hey guys,
I recently moved to the gs3 and jelly bean so this may be a known solution but for the life of me I can't find it. I've tried liquid 2.1 and 2.2 both with multiple gapps and still have the problem on clean wipes. Phone itself is only a day old.
When I start my camera it lags for a minute showing no picture then crashes, saying gallery has stopped. The funny thing is it actually WORKED before I updated my google apps through play? Worked fine on original rom also. This is driving me nuts as it is literally my only problem and I need my camera, but love this rom.
Thanks!
EDIT: BTW. Gallery starts fine on its own and I've tried the camera32_patched_v2.zip fix I found on another site and no luck(just have two camera icons and both do same thing)

Clear data on the gallery app (settings/ manage applications, or something along those lines) go to all apps and find gallery, clear data on it and try to use the camera again..

Yes and yes. I've tried gapps-jb20121011 and 20130301, both on liquid 2.1 and 2.2. Clean wiped each time. Same thing with camera always. Grey screen when it starts and then shortly after opening it crashes with gallery error.

Did factory reset first from settings(not sure if you should do this from inside a rom but oh well) and then rebooted into recovery. Tried rewiping and reinstalling again... Cleared cache, divak. used liquid 2.2 and jb2012011 which goo.im says is correct, fixed permissions. Got constant com.google errors and couldn't run initial setup had to put 20130301 just to get to setup and have phone back running again. Camera still broke(this time I tried before any updates again and it didn't even work then). What am I doing wrong?

Not sure if this will help, but I suggest: Do factory reset from custom recovery, wipe cache and dalvik. Then, install the latest M Snapshot of CyanogenMod found here. Then flash the latest 4.2.2 GAPPS from here. Reboot into system, try out the camera and check if it works. If it works on CM, do factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik then install Liquid Smooth. Good luck!

Update... I've been busy and have not had time to redo the phone again today, and I'm already 4 /0 folders deep(wtf 4.2?).
Here is the thing.. the camera started working out of the blue. I had the phone up for about 4-5 hours and randomly opened camera(which i keep doing) and it finally worked! I was able to take pics. Then my battery died... and now the camera is borked again after restarting. This is driving me insane. Any idea what is going on?

What I recommend doing is having phone charged to at least 70%, using Titanium Backup to restore your apps, and follow these instructions to the dot. This is what I did while using TWRP 2.5.
1) redownload LS v2.2 and gapps 20130301
2) backup all apps to TB
3) boot into TWRP
4) select 'Wipe' then 'Advanced Wipe'
5) wipe dalvik cache, system, data, cache
6) flash ROM then gapps
7) go back to 'Advanced Wipe' and wipe cache and dalvik cache again ONLY
8) reboot and run through setup wizard
9) immediately go into Play Store and cancel all installing apps.
10) install TB and restore user apps from there
11) reboot
now test out the camera

Didn't work same issue
Tried some of the fixes from that thread too and nothing...
My question now is, I've seen someone saying turning on geotagging fixed the issue. I always turned it off when camera starts the first time, is there some way to turn it back on without redoing rom? Installing that other cam didn't even give me the option again and can't find it in settings.
Still can't get this camera working. Have not even been able to get it to work at all for 2 days now. Someone has to have an idea?
Solution - switch roms. You aren't stuck with roms. Try the aokp port. It's good. So is cm.

Hello,
I'm sorry if this is a repost of any sort . I am currently running a 4.1.2 rom and as it turns out any 4.1.2 rom that I run will have a functioning camera for my phone. However whenever I try to flash any 4.2 .2 rom on my phone the camera ceases to run correctly. I'm flashing the rom with clockworkmod touch and I have also tried flashing a camera fix I found on xda. I have even tried using third party camera apps, but those don't work either. Can anyone try to point me in the right direction or even try to help me troubleshoot this thing??
Thanks in advance

i'll begin with the question of what did you wipe before you flashed 4.2.2 and what ROM/release have you tried flashing?
Flash to factory stock and if ur camera still doesn't work it must logically be a hardware issue. Please guys correct me if I'm wrong

I had just updated cwm to the latest touch version about a month ago. After that I was still on stock TW 4.1.1. Then, I tried flashing a 4.2.2 jellybam v7.6 and the camera stopped working so I flashed back to stock and the camera worked fine. I then tried flashing to the latest realease of CM 10.1 nightly
about 3 weeks ago but the camera didnt work so I flashed to 4.1.2 CSROM v1.4 then 1.5 and the camera worked fine. So I then tried CM10.0 4.1.2 and the camera still worked so last night I flashed to the latest CM nightly and the camera stopped working. Any thoughts?

I did and it still works. So it can't be a hardware issue. It has to do with how my phone flashes the software because I haven't seen anyone else having the same issues with the ROMS that I have been flashing.

if the camera stopped working simply from updating your current ROM to the latest release than a wipe and reflash could possibly have ironed out this issue. this is assuming you dirty flashed the update. we all do that, but in the event things dont funtion properly afterwards, a wipe is required.

Well before I flashed any rom I always wiped all user data, I wiped the cache and dalvik cache and in some cases I even formatted the system in advanced settings. In every case the camera never worked.

i would back everything up. you have a working nandroid to fall back on?
then i would fully wipe the device and start over. you seem to be having problems with 4.2.2, not specifically aosp. it appears aosp and touchwiz 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 are working for you. correct? when transitioning android versions, its basically required to wipe everything in order to avoid issues. make sure you have the latest gapps for 4.2.2. that may be your problem right there.
in the event you choose to wipe and reflash a 4.2.2 rom,
- backup your files
- have a nandroid, the rom you want and gapps on a micro sd card.
- boot into recovery
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik
- format /system
- format /data + media
- flash rom from external sd card
- flash gapps from external sd card
- reboot and let your phone sit a few minutes then reboot again. check it out.
you wont get any ROM support from devs on your issues until you come from a complete wipe. a hassle to set everything up again but it will likely be your fix. if not, we can go a different direction.
Alright I'll try this now. I will keep you updated

EDIT: The problem described in the post#11 has always been the case
i would do 1 of 2 things: flash this 4.2 camera zip in recovery and see if that camera and gallery work or flash a different 4.2.2 ROM like tasks. this will help determine if its just cm10.1 thats giving you grief.
if you download and flash the 4.2 camera, just wipe cache, dalvik and flash the zip. in the event you get a freeze up when taking a picture with auto-focus, you have to set the scene to "Action" mode.

Alright so I ended moving the gallery, then flashing the new camera app in CWM then wiped the cache and dalvik. No luck, so I tried restarting my phone, fixing permissions, and nothing worked. I then full wiped my phone and flashed Vanilla Rootbox, tested camera and it didnt work. It still said "Camera Error- Can't connect to camera" . . I flashed the camera zip provided followed by a cache and dalvik wipe but I got the same message. Following the above steps I did the exact same thing with AOKP and the exact same thing happened.
Is it possible that my phone just can't support 4.2.2?
