[CWM] Camera Fixer for cm9, aokp & cm10

Hey guys,
With the recent spring up of roms I thought I would include a camera fixer if you are having problems connecting to the sgs3 camera.
Simply flash the following file in CWM.
Thanks to id10terrordfw for the fix

Nice! Thanks a lot

Camera will still freeze on click to focus after 3 times of auto focusing quickly... When I force close the camera it can be not reconnect to camera until reboot.
This is true after installing this patch as well

Yes, this will happen even with the fix.
Harpo: Doc, it crashes when I do this!

So what exactly does this fix... my camera worked the same way before as it did after the fix... Try to push to focus 3 times and it freezes... camera fc's then i can't connect to it till reboot. this is exact scenario as before the fix...
Just curious...

(Unless on task's AOKP) It allows the camera to even function. CM9 and 10 do not work without this at all. You get the "Can't connect to Camera" error upon opening it. Until a permanent fix is found, this at least lets you use the cameras on the GS3 on AOSP derived ROM's. I believe task650 incorporated this into his later builds.

got it... thanks

Maybe this only works for one of the camera types (I heard there are a few) cuz I'm running cm-10-20120718-UNOFFICIAL-d2att rom, and I still get the cannot connect after installing this in CWM. It seemed to install fine...
Anyone else having this problem?

I tried flashing this on the cm9 rom for my lg optimus net which has same problem of camera not connecting. But it was no use! Any suggedtions on how to fix it??

Every camera fix I've installed on cm10 7/20 has caused me to lose access to all gapps, both via wifi and mobile data.

Turns out this is a cwm issue, not this mod.

I flashed the fix didn't lose anything. I also have cwm from ROM manager

I have updated to the latest release of CM10 (7-20) after confirming that the ROM flash did not have a working camera, and it did not (Could not connect to gallery after first two pics taken) rebooted, cleared data and cached (not that I needed to after a clean flash...but just to rule out any missing variables) got it to work again then started messing with the settings and locked up the camera. Then the next time I opened the camera I got the could not connect error. So I flashed the CWM fix and same issue, after 2-3 pics could not connect error. So I pulled the files and manually placed the in the System>Camera data folder replacing the other files with Root Explorer and set permissions. So far no green screen or problems seen thus far.

edit edit: looks like pressing too much autofocus derped it again aww man .. lol

Jelly Bean Camera App Is Broken

I created a thread for this for SlimBean but I've found the issue is more widespread than that.
I'm on the RootBox 4.0.1 stable for I747 with the kt747 kernel.
The camera app doesn't pause after you take a picture when confirming if you wish to save it.
The preview in most cases is skewed if you rotate it and/or swap cameras.
When I take a picture with Camera JB+ it reboots the phone.
I have cleared everything recommended, reflashed the rom and kernel, and nothing seems to work.
Thanks.

Have you tried a different custom kernel or the stock kernel the ROM comes with?

Yes. The camera Skew issue appears in the stock kernel as well for SlimBean and RootBox.
The no-pause after taking a snap picture appears in every kernel as well.

Have you tried going back to stock to see if its a hardware issue?

If it works at any point, it's not a hardware issue. When you go to recent apps and remove it, it temporarily solves the problem.
It's a known issue with many roms but nobody seems to have taken notice.

Have you posted this in the ROMS q/a thread for a response with the people who also run this ROM?

Leaked 4.3 camera works perfect with our device ibcluding PHOTOSPHERE

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340858
Should work on all 4.0+ aosp ROMs. Just delete/rename gallary2.apk in system/apps then install the apk like normal
I'm posting this because I'm running it right now with zero issues on thddudes beanstalk rom

This isn't actually a leak is it. Its just the camera from the Google edition s4 isn't it?

imho i think that this is very similar to the 4.2.2 camera and dont notice any difference from the s4 or htc one camera
im not sure but im sticking with my normal camera
this seems kinda buggy

But when it uses 25% of your battery overnight there should be something wrong. I tried it myself. Photosphere is not worth the no deep sleep new feature, lol.

I tried this running CM 10.1 and it seemed a little laggy for a while. Also, the quick settings did not match up. i.e. I would try and select one scene mode and it would actually pick another. If it was more stable I would use it. I prefer this new quick settings menu over the radial menu

Works well on stock Rom too. I also have problems with settings not matching up.

Meh... It's ok. I still prefer the MIUI camera, even if I don't have front camera support with it. IMHO, it's better than CameraZoom as well.

I am on AOKP and this only half works. It does do photosphere, but it only does 1 picture then it is fuzzy thereafter and the video is horrible and not usable. Does anyone have a .zip to flash back to stock camera and gallery? blah. i did a backup before but it was a a couple weeks ago and I am just not getting around to trying the camera.

Your best luck is to flash the ROM again without resetting data (no wipe)

This works great. It's how I restored my camera

meh
4.3 camera works fine on LG Optimus G F180k. I now have two Camera apps and two Galleries. The only flaw I encountered so far is the picture size. It only goes 8MP maxed and my camera supports 13MP so I only use it for PhotoSphere. The PhotoSphere works well, so far, haven't tried it outdoors yet. The new gallery app is a step up from the stock I had.
I froze the stock gallery and use the gallery app that came with the 4.3 camera. I didn't freeze or uninstalled the stock camera. I'll probably use'em both.
My theory here, maybe this works well with my phone because it first came out on Nexus 4, which is also a LG device and Optimus G and Nexus 4 almost have the same hardware with just a lil' variations like the camera. (N4 with 8mp while LGOG with 13mp, some models have 8mp too just like the N4)
and another thing, the 4.3 camera creates another directory inside DCIM folder. So the two cameras have two different folders inside DCIM.

Would you mind sharing the miui camera that you are using. I've tried pulling the apk files from miui ROMs but I always get a FC. It would make my miui v5 that much more complete.

Thanks. Have you ever gotten the video camera to shoot in full 720p? Not something I use much of, just wondering.
What I'm really wanting to get my hands on now after seeing some previews, is the new focal camera from CM.

[Q] Instagram Force Close

Hey, I'm having a problem when taking a picture using the front camera. Every time, it will cause a reboot. Anyone else noticing this, or have a fix?
It is doing this with CM10 and Task's AOKP.
Thanks!

I always had issues on instagram on AOKP and a few others I tried on my cappy. I guess I often see people having issues with instagram.

I know, I'm showing everyone that the camera issue was fixed.

Sorry for the noob question, but is this mod built in or do I have to flash it on 10.2?? My camera seems to be working well but wondering if I need this. Also what gapps package did you use? I read some were missing the 13mp option. I used banks core 4.3 and mine has it.
