I have the t mobile one (SGH-T999) and i wiped everything and installed the latest cm10.1, but it seems that any rom based off of CM also kills my camera but any other rom allows it to work. CM makes it so any camera app crashes even before i see anything out of the camera lens. what should i do?
same issue here. Stable CM10, camera throws "can't connect to camera" error. Latest CM10.1 nightly, same issue. Latest Jellybam, same issue.
Wicked has functional camera, but I'd like to stay as close to basic AOSP/AOKP/CM as possible.
Anyone found a solution? Anyone not having this issue?
I suppose wiping camera/gallery was the first thing you tried.
Yeah, sure was. So far I have...
Cleared gallery cache/data from "manage apps"
Wiped data, cache, dalvik cache from CWM touch recovery 6.0.2.3
fix permissions from CWM touch recovery 6.0.2.3
installed every CM10/AOKP based rom I can find twice, wiping data/cache each time
tried other camera apps (none work, all have similar errors regarding inability to connect to camera)
It doesn't seem like this is a common issue. I'd be very convinced my hardware is simply broken, except that the camera works in the stock samsung rom, wicked, and pretty much everything build on touchwiz/samsung.
possibly a kernel issue?
have a look at this thread. i've been having camera problems with all versions of CyanogenMod that i've tried on my Galaxy S III and this latest possible fix is giving me hope. i'm restoring back to stock via ODIN right now and am going to pull the stock version of SlimISP_ZH.bin from /data and attempt to drop it into my CM10 image to see what might work.
Dont use the one that says it has photosphere working. Cause it doesnt work. You need to use a 4.1 gallery2.apk file.

Today I read a little guide from youmobile, about installing the new camera in android 4.2. (cant post link since im new)
I did everything except I forgot to backup first. Now everytime i start up the phone, open camera or open gallery it comes "Gallery has crashed".
Anyone knows what I might have done wrong? I used ROM Manager -> Boot into clockwordmod recovery -> flash zip -> and i chose the zip.
The camera is working trough apps like Snapchat, but not trough the stock app.
I could also use the stock 4.1.2 gallery and camera .apk so I atleast can get back my camera.
I am running on 4.1.2 takju nexus, with Air Kernel 3.0.46.
Please help.

try this zip. it's fixed so that everything should work.

if you still get crashes, you may want to reflash your Rom (without wiping).
also try fixing permissions, either in clockwork or rom manager

Thanks. I'm new tho, so what do you mean by fixing permissions. Could you give me step by step?
Go into recovery(CWM) and select the fix permissions option (might be under advanced)
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
Installing the .zip file already fixes permissions. Have you tried renaming the apk to Gallerygoogle2.apk in your preferred file manager?
second post, the link works perfectly.
Thanks!
I just updated to 4.2 and I keep getting a Camera error - Can't connect to the camera. Any idea how I can resolve this?
How did you update to 4.2? Go in settings, apps, all apps, camera, clear data. Reboot.

I downloaded the ota file and updated via teamwin recovery. The weird thing is that camera is not listed in all apps. If I restart my phone then the camera will work for a while, but then it'll start giving me the same error again.
Gallery then. If it still doesn't work, go in recovery and wipe data/factory reset.

Boot in CWM recovery and try reflashing this zip...
Try to boot up in CWM recovery and flash the camera zip and maybe the fresh install will fix it for you.
Here is the link for the 4.2 Camera.zip http://www34.zippyshare.com/v/63944821/file.html
I tried to do a factory reset, but when I stored my apps and data using Titanium Backup, the error kept popping up.
I also tried to flash the 4.2 Camera.zip. That totally messed up the camera and gallery. Keeps force closing.
Anything else I can try?
Turns out it was an app causing the problem. I have this app called iseeyou which keeps the screen on when you are looking at it. I guess it uses the front camera to sense your face and it some how makes it so you can't access the camera. It was working fine with 4.1.2, but I guess it's not compatible with 4.2.
This is why if you want to find the cause for X issue that you're not sure whether it's the rom or apps or hardware, you don't restore loads of apps at the same time.

Hello!
I'm having issues with all non-sense roms and the camera... The camera works ok some of the time but very often the screen turns into a colour-filled glitchey mess and locks up. If I close the camera app and try to reopen it says can't connect to camera. The only to fix it is to restart phone. This happens LOADS. I'm currently using the latest 4.2 ICJ but this has been happening since CM10 and ICJ 4.1. Using the boot.img supplied with each ROM in each instance. I have tried using the super wipe script, wiping cache and user data in CWM recovery (latest touch). I am doing this:
In fastboot:
Erase cache
Flash boot
Erase cache
In recovery:
Install rom
Install gapps
I've done this with numerous differnt kernels/ roms in different orders but nothing seems to work... Please help!
I have searched and can find nothing on this so any help is appreciated. I am not a complete noob but I am certainly not an expert (have been flashing for a couple of years...)
Thanks to anyone that has also had this and managed to fix it!!!
Thanks,
Rich
I only ever encountered this problem on one CM10 ROM. I believe it was TripNDroid's. No disrespect at all to his work, but I couldn't figure out how to fix it, so I tried a few other CM10 ROM's and haven't come across that problem since.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful...

Please let me know what you find out on this. I have tried wiping the cache and data for the camera and rebooting. as well as a fresh install, wipe cache partitions and still no luck. I really like stock 4.3 with root but it looks like I'm back to 4.2.2 unless anyone knows a way. I'll keep you posted as well if I find anything brother!
Help!
I'm on CM11 (latest nightlies) and there's a lot of bug here
so I wondered If I can flash CM10.1.3 (stable) via TWRP Recovery while i'm on CM11 is possible?
(Flash CM10.1 over CM11)
Thanks in advance

Possible Yes, advisable No.
You're likely to come across loads of app crashes or other problems if you flash CM10 over CM11. It's best to backup apps with Titanium backup Pro, and your SMS etc with SMS Backup. Makes sure contacts are synced to google as well.
If you're having problems with nightlies flash the SNAPSHOT version, That is the most stable out of CM11.
Which issues are you having, I am on CM11 and not had any real issues?

What If I wipe my data and reinstall all the apps?
P.s. I'm having the Camera issue, often showed up " Can't connect to the camera" Which didn't happen on Touchwiz Rom

Yes, that will be fine. What I was referring to that is not advisable is a non-clean flash (keeping data).
I have had the Camera issue on various nightlies and needed reboot. There is a app in store that enables you to fix camera when you get this error which is better then rebooting device.
As far as I remember I didnt have the camera issue on CM11 Snapshot.

Thanks! But what android version of CM10.1 is ?
I heard that it's 4.2.2
is it okay to flash while i'm on 4.4.2? (No IMEI lost issue or hard brick?)
Thanks again

The no IMEI/brick etc are caused (afaik) by n00bs flashing wrong device rom or corrupt archives or flashing is interrupted etc.
Just wipe device and flash new rom in recovery, You should be fine.
