Snapchat/Instagram on 4.4 KitKat - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hey everyone! I am currently on BeanStalk, and it's a very stable ROM and I'm loving it. But I use social media apps like Instagram and Snapchat alot, and the camera seems to crash or often not work at all when using it with those apps.
I was just wondering, does this happen with your KitKat ROM that you're running? At this point I'm unfortunately willing to flash another 4.4 ROM that works well with those apps...

[Q] Which Rom I Should Use?

Its personal taste. I use CM7 stable which is (as the name suggests) stable. It depends if you want AOSP on sense
almost all CM are buggy in their own way! use android 2.2 roms from CM

Just so you know - FM and Video Recording do not work in CM6.
cm 7.0.3 seems fine for me and everything works
I'm finding CM7 buggy in the long run also. Have this regular problem where opening messages leaves me with a blank screen which sometimes appears if I rub the screen up and down.

[Q] Why camera is not working after flashing a rom

Hello, i need a little explanation of why the camera app is not working after flashing a rom like CM 10.1 to my dinc.. Even if i installed another camera app from the play store it wont work. Even the vedio camera is not working. Even the gallery is not working. But in my stock Sense rom it worked fine. Is there a way where i can use the Camera app of the stock Sense rom and use it in my new CM 10.1 rom.. WIl it work ?
Most 10+ Roms have notes that cameras may not work and to use Camera ICS

yeah its because people dont know htcs camera drivers because they wont release them so like he said Cyanogenmod 10 and up you want to use a different camera or stick to stock if the camera is essential, you can try a sense rom.
Another vote for ICS Camera. I was running Tiny's CM10.1 and ICS camera worked.
Good luck.

No, the stock sense camera won't work on anything other than sense. Video camera has been mostly broken on all ROMs ICS and newer, due to driver issues mentioned above. The camera should work on the most recent versions of CM10.1, 10.2, etc., though camera preview may be glitchy especially when rotating. If video recording is important, you're going to have to stick with a sense-based ROM or CM7.2 or older.

snapchat problems at custom roms (except gin2kitkat)

hey guys. I have problems with snapchat. I dont know why,but at stock ROM's and ONLY gin2kitkat it works very good but when i flash an custom rom (i think all of possible here) it make's this app buggy. Sometimes video doesnt work,sometimes camera wont get focus,sometimes it just crashing around.
What the hell make's it buggy? maybe its something in kernel?

All ROMs - both official builds from Google and Custom ROMS from our talented developers here on XDA - have bugs. Just a fact of digital life!
If you want the most stable build available, you're probably best served by Google's official releases. Scroll down for the different GNex versions/links.
If you want Lollipop, check out the Android Development board. Plenty of great developers and ROMs to chose from there. I have a 5.1 ROM linked in my signature below, as well.

thanks for the answer. i will try this 5.1 rom. Some roms have little bugs, and others like lollipop roms make the device not good for daily driver, like the camera not saving pictures, green lines on video etc. i will try some roms and leave the most stable on his device, but i think i will flash 4.1.2 in the end.

I've tested out many of the newest ROM'S and I'm still not impressed with the overall functionality of them when compared to the 4.1.2 PA ROM I've been running for over 2.5 yrs now.

Man this device was a pain for me today. after wiping to install 4.1.2 the device disconnected. and the usb connector i think is faulty. i had to flash every bit of rom in fastboot and a lot of errors. so i installed 4.0 rom because system.img was smaller and took a lot of time to copy the 300mb file and finally the device booted. i ota to 4.1.1 and i think i will ota manually to 4.1.2 because on device already appeared 4.2.2 ota. do you think is worth update all the way to 4.3? the device is smooth and i like the camera app better than 4.2 rom with that awful lag to rotate. do you think is better have an updated device or keep it in 4.1.2?
AOSP Lollipop 5.1- a wee better than stock is the best lollipop I could find yet. It is near-stock Android, and the overall performance is very good comparing it to the age of this device. The only bad thing I can say about this device isbthat the battery is draining faster(it might be an issue with my phone). If you are brave enough(such brave, much wow), you can try to overclock to 1.5 and the performance will improve by a lot

Latest ROM with working/stable camera? - SM-P600

Hi Everyone,
Been looking at some of the latest custom ROM's for the SM-P600 and it's been difficult to find one with a working and stable camera. Do you have any suggestions on a ROM that's hopefully newer then kit kat and has a camera that doesn't crash after taking multiple pictures with flash and needs to be rebooted every time. Noticed it's a very common problem with the CM based ROMS.
Thanks!

I find 5.1.1 based Samsung roms better than CM ones (more features, better battery and of course camera) but it may be just me.
Unfortunately we don't have many around so just install the latest official one for your region, root and delete the bloat and you'll be fine. They're kind of slow roms compared to CM (but not by much) but IMO it's worth it given how many more features they offer...
