In the stock Camera app, it tries to load, and then I get the message "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped". I've rebooted, and deleted data/cache from the Settings -> App menu.
I tried in Camera Zoom FX and the app will load, but I get no picture. It is just a blank screen.
I looked at the adb debug log, and I see a message along the lines of, "Media server has stopped."
I have tried using AOKP rom with Franco Kernel and stock rom, stock kernel (4.0.2).
Are there any other options for me to get the camera to work? It seems like most people on here were able to fix there problem by rebooting, but that is not the case with me.
what rom? ive no problem with bixies 4.1.1 aosp rom and trinity kernel.
I tries AOSP for 4.0, not 4.1, and it still doesn't work. I'm guessing its a hardware issue. Can I replace just the physical camera? Is there a way I can test just the camera? I don't believe its the rom I'm using.
Any one want to buy a nexus with no camera?
Would posting the debug log help? or is this a lost cause.

I know the camera isn't broken because the camera works on any rom that isn't cyanogen based. I made sure i wiped all data and cache and system before installing cyanogenmod 10 or 10.1 and I got the correct gapps too, but every time i try to load any camera app, it errors and shuts down. the integrated camera app says "cannot connect to camera" and then closes right away after opening it. How is this fixable? what am I doing wrong?
Hi guys,
I'm working off of AOSP 4.2.2 on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I can't get the camera working.
Every time I open the camera app I've gotten the 'Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped.' popup.
After trying different remedies on I've googled, like wiping cache/data for the gallery app, doing a wipe/factory reset in clockworkmod and reflashing, and flashing the corresponding gapps for the galaxy nexus 4.2.2... I am still not able to use the camera.
Is there a more clear solution? Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks!
hello , if your camera doesn't work you may try to install another camera. or you can to flash another rom.
I cannot post in the development forum yet, but I have a bug to report for the CM 10.1 ROM. If I use Snapchat, the front facing camera does not function correctly, and the Gallery application says it is not functioning correctly. After I choose to force close the Gallery, any time I try to use to the stock Camera application, it displays the 'Can't connect to Camera' error message, almost as if the Camera fix breaks. I've factory reset the ROM, wiped cache, and dalvik cache, and have even flashed it multiple times, and I can replicate the issue every single time.

I've already reported the issue to @madmack and pulled a log of the error for him. In order to restore the functionality of your camera, restart the phone. You won't be able to do SnapChat selfies, but at least you can use your camera normally.
I have tried many different variants of 4.3, such as CM nightlies, PA, but without fail the camera either force closes on trying to take a picture with either camera. Same goes if the gallery is disabled and a 3rd party app is used.
I have found some mention of this in the CM nightlies thread, and that said wiping the cache from recovery would solve the issue but it has not. I've tried clearing the app data from settings/apps and the recovery method mentioned, but the camera inevitably mucks up. This is what's keeping me from using a 4.3-based ROM.
Is it just me has issues with the front camera (mainly, sometimes back camera) on 4.3? I'm currently on CM 10.1.3 stable, but I could re-flash a 4.3 ROM if logcats are required.
I have a known camera issue in which I cannot solve.
My camera does not work. Any app that tries to get to the camera fails.
I know that is not an hardware issue because on stock ROM the camera works.
Crash report:
java.lang.RuntimeException: startPreview failed

NOTES ַ& UPDATES
- I updated my firmware to NE4 so I cant install CM11
- I noticed that on CWM recovery its asks to ROOT my phone if I dont have one. This ROOT makes to phone to not detect the camera even on stock ROM.
- I used S3Rx_UCUFNE4_AROMA_11-9-14 to install the stock ROM. The camera wont work until I removed the KNOX app.
- I have tried to install ROM cm-10.2.1-d2att_for_NE4 and its the same problem
- Installing different kernels make my phone stuck on bootloop.
- The camera worked for one time only on CM10 after enabling " temp unroot" and than remove it in superuser app. But after this its not working.
Here is that things that I have tried:
- I checked to camera with no SD card so that gallery is empty.
- I updated my firmware from UCUFNE4 to UCUFNE4.
- I have installed different camera apps.

IDEAS
I think that the problem is with the kernel or something with the ROOT.
Any room expect the stock one have broken camera.
I WILL GIVE BIG DONATION TO THE ONE WHO WILL SOLVE THIS ISSUE
There is a corrupt image or video file in your gallery that is preventing the camera from connecting. Look in your gallery for any recent files that just show a black square for their thumbnail and then delete them.
After that, clear data for your camera app and maybe even restart your phone just to be safe. It should work.

Have you tried to revert all OS updates and flash original stock with odin and then root and install cm11 ?

I tried various of the recommended fixes , nothing worked for me, but installing the nexus camera from the google play somehow fixed the problem and my camera works again
