Have AT&T GS3 I747 that took a swim. Was able to rescue it, but lost the camera. Tried most everything I could find searching here and elswhere, and finally decided to replace the camera hardware (rear facing, front facing works fine).
Got the new camera installed, and still get the camera failed notice when starting up the TW camera app.
Wondering if it may be driver related. I am running deTmobilized 1.3 ROM, and it behaves the same as the stock UCDLK3 for this error.
Is there perhaps another component that might be causing this, or a way to update to newer camera drivers?
Everything else on the phone works perfectly, but it sure would be great to get the rear facing camera back up and running.
Things I have tried:
Force closure and wipe camera app cache.
Alternate camera apps.
Reinstall old camera.
Anybody think they can provide some guidance?
Thanks.

Have you tried flashing a different ROM or installing different camera hardware?

I have tried 3 different ROMS (stock UCDLK3, rooted UCDLK3, and deTmobilized 1.3.
I have also tried all these with both the original back facing camera hardware, and the new camera hardware.
With the original camera hardware, I can get a camera firmware check to complete with *#34971539#. With the new camera hardware, the factory test fails with attempting to run the camera firmware check key sequence. Here is the screenshot foom the camera firmware check that does run to completion.

Have you tried a custom like cyanogenmod? I am just curious since those camera drivers are different than touchwiz.

Just tried the nightly of CM, and no luck with camera working. Gallery would not start. Looking more and more like a board level hardware problem. I have a copy of the GT-I9300 service manual which has a troubleshooting flowchart for the 8M camera. If I can rig a test jig and get a scope, maybe I can try that. It requires checking voltages at 6 points on the MB, and also a frequency check at one point.

No need to apologize, guess that is what I deserve for dropping the darn phone into the toilet! The good news is it finally got me off the stock ROM and into better things! Now, to hope I can score a replacement phone without having to cut off an appendage to obtain it.

Hi,
I've created a flashable zip based on the files extracted by dmmarck (it's all his doing! I'm just packaging it). Just flash from CWM or TWRP.
Everything should work: regular pics, photosphere, gallery and editor. On my device, it all coexists nicely with my existing camera and gallery.
Edit: just noticed that garner had updated his own thread with more things working. It seems his archive contains fewer files, which is great if you want to save space. If it's not working for you, though, try this version.
Thanks cyansmoker!
For me garner's zip didnt work. Yours did!
Trying this out now! Thanks!

Anyone having heat issues with the new cam?
I've heard claims that, yes, it can run your phone pretty hot.
Not sure what it's doing.
Works perfect!

I just noticed that JB 4.2 camera does not have some features what ICS/JB camera has...
Is there any way to get JB 4.1.2 camera for an second camera without another gallery app? ICS camera ("+" version from play store) does not have good features what JB 4.1.2 camera has! :/

Thanks a lot, I was trying to download the zip from another thread but it just keep disconnecting and restarting. this is working perfectly.:thumbup:
Currently using dark paranoid 2.25.1 tablet mode and this camera app working much better and faster than the stock 4.1.2 camera. Loved that photosphere shots.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
the ONLY problem I am having with the photosphere is that it seems to snap pictures when the blue dot isnt directly center of the target. Its close to but not directly center which leads to most of my pictures being "off" from one another.. I wonder if theres a way to slow down the speed or pause it for a second so the blue dot lines up correctly

In my case, I found out that actually slowing down while panning with my phone made things better. I guess my phone was having a hard time figuring out what I was aiming it at.
i've tried to slow it down also (this isnt the panorama selection but the photosphere), but once the blue dot to line up the next shot gets close to the target recticle center where it should be(might be a better word), it snaps the next picture before even getting in the center if that makes sense
I get force close when opening both camera and gallery app. Hmm.. not sure what's wrong though.
I have a cwm backup, but is there other way to restore old camera back? maybe someone has the original apk for camera and gallery?
if not I'll just do a full restore.

I've tried the other zip and this one. neither seems to work for me. i only see the normal camera and gallery apps. i am using BAMF current rom. I do see a gallery2.apk, gallery4, and googlegallery. any idea what's going on? is there a way to create a shortcut to the new ones?
nvm, fixed it, renamed other apks, changed perm and rebooted...

I believe that as long as you delete /system/app/GalleryGoogle.apk and reboot your phone, you should have access to your old camera.
Of course it is different from ROM to ROM...

rename the gallery2.apk to gallery.bak, then try to install. I dont see a gallery4 on mine (current Bamf), just a GALAXY4, which is a lwp and googlegallery is what the new one is (I think).
Will it work in Galaxy s3?

my camera stopped working this morning. No apps added, nothing changed in rom (just another day).
to troubleshoot, I did flash a new rom with full wipe (hoping it was just software) and no joy.
How can I test to see if the hardware is shot or if it's just a software thing?
Any logs I can look at?
any help is appreciated, thanks!

I had to get a new phone because my camera quit. I think I may have dropped it and jarred something. Maybe try an app that uses the camera but not as a camera. A mirror app for FFC, or a text and walk app that uses the camera to show you what you can't see in front of you while texting.
Chances are though, broken camera. If its not ROM related a backup should fix it.

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?
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

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.

Hello all,
First post, sorry its a question..
The back camera on M8 is making strange pictures, if any at all (see attachment).
Front camera is working fine.
Got my M8 for 1 year now, never had problems with the camera.
mm-qcamera-daemon is running high on batt usage.
Stock camera app will most of the time open and then close again, sometimes i can make strange pictures like above.
I don't have an other camera app running
It's rooted and i'm running
InsertCoin version 3.0.8
Android 4.4.2
HTC sense v6.0
HTC SDK API 6.17
I do know there are a lot of updates from the above versions. But its running so wel all these time that i don't need a upgrade (still up to 5 days on a full batt :good
I did clear the cache from the camera app, I don't have lastpass installed.
Does anyone seen a picture like this (except from a good/bad trip)? And how did they fix it.
All input is appreciated.
Thanks, Peter.
One of two things is going on. Either the camera module has gone bad OR you dont have the correct software to run the camera or that software has gone corrupt.
I see your running a custom rom so my suggestion would be go back to complete stock and re-test. If it fails its a hardware issue.

Thanks for your answer.
Do you have any clue if the same software is used for the front and back camera? Front is working perfect so that would mean a hardware issue.
I will start with returning to stock, quickest way to see if it's hardware related.
The camera modules are different. Back has ultra pixel and front is a megapixel.
Since its easier to change software it makes sense to go back to complete stock for testing. Then if it still fails its probably hardware.
