Camera crashes on Jelly Bean

I've had Jellybean for a while now, but recently I've had a bunch of issues come up. Just tonight, my camera app has started crashing whenever I try to take a picture. I have tried clearing app data and resetting the device. Is anyone else having this issue? Is anyone having as many issues with this update as me?
I am completely stock and unrooted.

my camera will take pictures but if you try to switch to the 'front' cam it goes black and eventually says 'warning, camera failed'

Did you flash the 4.2 camera app?

i was running strongsteves odexed blue, i just odin'd back to the stock unrooted jellybean and camera still fails, back to the store, good thing its only been a week...

I am on complete stock, and my camera will just give me a black screen and then show the home screen when I try to take a picture. I haven't called Sprint yet, but it really annoys me that there are so many bugs with this update!!

stock and unrooted limits you in what you can do.
I say root the bad boy, and flash a custom rom. Then you can really take the phone for a ride.

Camera Problems?
If your running stock and unrooted either go to the sprint store and get yourself a new phone (it will be refurbished), or do what the last guy said, root the SOB and flash the 4.2 camera, its badass, check this one out.

[Q] Any Suggestions Please???

Hey guys how are you all today? My name is jeff and yes im a newb here lol...i kinda need some help.....i have a rooted S3 running CM 10.1 nightlys, gapps from goo.im and a zip of the 4.2 camera....Now, first off, I would like to say I love CM and i think they do an amazing job....but lately ive been having so many problems. When i boot up i immediately get a force close from Youtube, my camera and gallery crash often, in my app drawer i have 2 cameras and 2 gallerys but when i go to manage apps to disable the stock 4.1 camera so i can only see the 4.2 cam....neither of them show up in app manager. Appolo gets a force close once and a while..my phone freezes up etc...Basically, im just starting to have alot of problems and it is now to the point where i feel like going back to stock rom would ease the headaches...Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a somthing i can do to make this all run smoother? I would just like to have 4.2.2 WITH Photosphere AND all the google apps. Im thinkng that the version of the camera im running is outdated and maybe there is a better one i can flash?? Or is there a ROM out there that is stable that i might like? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you all in advance and have a great day!!

Paranoid Android, when used with the PA gapps, has photosphere and is pretty stable.

It also sounds like you need to do a full wipe and try again. Lots of issues that shouldn't be issues for the latest releases of anything let alone cm10.1

I know right....i havent had this many problems with CM in the past. But i just did a full wipe, both wipes as well as the dalvik and it was after that i began to have the problems? Ill give it another try! Thanks again!

[Q] Stretched Image When Taking Photos

Hello all,
I recently flashed liquid smooth rom android 4.2.2 on my galaxy s3 i747. I love the rom but for some reason the camera shows a stretched image when taking a photo, but when I go and view the photo taken it looks normal. Why is this happening? The same thing seemed to have when I was on cyanogenmod 10.1. I really don't think its the phones camera but maybe the gapps? Never had this problem on stock touchwiz. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks

It may be a problem with the AOSP camera or your kernel. Lowering the picture's resolution is a temporary fix. If not, try switching between front and back cameras, exit the camera, and reopen camera. Hope i helped!

Thanks for the reply! I have tried that before and still doesn't work. Are you saying I should flash a different kernel? If so which one should I flash?

[Q] Pictures don't show- SEARCHED AND SEARCHED

Hello to all,
Im new to the forums and rooting, so I am still learning, please bear with me.
I have SEARCHED this for days and days, and still have no answer. Please don't flame, if you know where to find the answer please direct me to a link
With that said:
My dad has a SGH- T989 (Tmobile Galaxy S2).
His issues:
1) phone didn't receive calls all the time
2) when factory camera app opens all images were fuzzy or staticy
3) images of static when taken didn't save.... random icon app shows up in gallery
4) If you used Skype - camera was fine
SO I knew it couldn't be the camera itself.... so i decided to root the phone and update firmware/software and see what happens
I used CWM, then Jedi Mind tricks V6
phone seems fixed, camera screen seems fixed (no more fuzzy), but..... when you take a pic the image is a generic icon still. See pic I took with my GS4 attached.
any idea whats going on?
I have read that 4.2.x may have this issue.... should I try a different ROM?
Thanks for any direction

Try a ROM that is 4.1.x. I had a similar problem where a lot of my pictures didn't show up, so I switched to a different ROM and it seemed to have worked. I'm on Infamous right now, and it works fine. Or you can try JediJelly, which is similar to JMT, but is updated and works rather well.

[Q] Photosphere Camera black screen

After using CyanogenMod versions 9 through 10.2 I made the decision to switch to SlimRom and I am now running SlimKat 4.4.2 Build 4.1. During my entire time with CM, I had an easy time working with ported photosphere enabled camera apk's. However, upon the move to SlimRom, more specifically, the update to KitKat, the photosphere mode of the camera apk I had been using for several months was not working. Although I could take pictures with every other mode of the camera, whenever I switched to photosphere mode, the viewing screen would turn black, with all the rest of the UI working as normal. When I go to move it around, I can still see the dots for lining up the first photo, but it won't even let me take photos with this blacked out screen. I've attached a photo of the app in photosphere mode for better clarification, and I'd really appreciate if someone could help me out here.
Thanks in advance!

I have Slimkat as well. I do know the included Camera does not have Photosphere. If you are using a different app then please post a link so I can give it a whirl and post my findings.

I have pm'ed you the links. My status as a new user prevents me from posting outside links

Yup got it. I will take a look and post back. Have you ever tried the Google Edition Camera ?
EDIT - I tried the Camera app from
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/a...e/NewCameraApp[2].apk
It worked pretty well for me. I am on Slim-d2lte-4.4.2.build.4.4-WEEKLY-3771and KT747 Kernel.

Weird...that was the one that started me on my search for new photosphere apks...
I tried installing the GE one and saw your edit, tried that one again, without luck on either of them so I tried another full wipe, updated to that latest weekly and after a few reboots and system app changes, the GE one appears to work for me. No black screen, the images stitch well and I can view them afterwards, seems like its back to my expectations. Thank you very much.

Glad its working for you. Please see the note on Slim Rom's home page. Google has release a new Camera app. That's working wonders for me.

I will also try that.

I'm running into this exact same issue on the 2014-04-23-d2lte LiquidSmooth nightly using the new Google Camera. I clean flashed that and installed PA GApps Full + Keyboard. I wasn't running into this issue on PacMan Rom though, so I'm not sure what the issue is.
