I am currently running CyanogenMod 11 (M3) for t-mobile. I really need help fixing my camera. I was having problems with my camera earlier but now it is constantly force closing. Just recently the camera updated to Google camera and I was hoping the force would not occur any more, but now it's even worse. If any ideas how to fix PLEASE tell me because I have many needs for the camera. This how the problem occurs: I try to take a picture and it will take it then it will freeze and I have to kill the app. Then I try to restart the app but I get an "Camera error: cannot connect to the camera." The problem was really bad after I flashed the ROM so I deleted that camera and flashed a "better" one. I try to use the other features of this updated Google camera but none of them work such as: lens blur, panorama or photo sphere . I would really love having these features working or even taking regular pictures without any force closes. I have to use the camera everyday so please help as soon as possible. Please anyone help me solve this problem!!!! (Current Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999)
Thanks for the help in advance!!!!
Go back to stock..
I tried the new Google camera on C-ROM and had the same problem. Like the previous poster said, go back to CM stock camera.

If you really want to stick with CM 11, maybe try flashing Ktoonsez's kernel. I've been having this camera issue (that's only temporarily fixed if I reboot) for a while, but yesterday I flashed KT747 and it's been working since (knock on wood).

Hello,
I would've posted this onto the dev thread for Paranoid Android, but I can't as I don't have enough posts yet.
I have just put on ParanoidAndroind ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727657) - it's JB version. However, turned out that it does not have a camera app. I have read the posts, and downloaded the camera fix that should've fixed the camera (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727657&page=110), but this does not return the camera app itself. I had an app that I bought ages ago (Paper Camera) from Play Store, and indeed I can use my HOX to take pictures with it.
I am wondering though, is there a stock JB camera apk out there that I can get? And while we're at it, could you suggest a camera app (free preferably) that I can find that has features as close to the original HOX sense camera?
Thanks everyone!

try going to the camera app through lockscreen
This problem was there on CM10 also in early stages as camera was working through lockscreen but there was no camera app in app drawer
You can try Owain's Domination CM10, it has AOKP & Paranoid features too
You can also try CM10 or AOKP jellybean ROM
You can try fx camera:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ymst.android.fxcamera&feature=search_result
and for burst features: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ish.fastburstcameralite&feature=search_result
Just thought I'd share this with y'all, not mine BTW. Few bugs.

Can you describe what bug is present on this focal for our gnex?
Doesn't work for me. Missing a lib file?
Is the usual that affects everyone I think. Like trying to go to panorama crashes the app, video seems to be flaky. The rest seems good for the most part.
I don't think you need any libs, I installed it myself like a normal app. I'm on paranoid android 3.69 (I think) toroplus and fancy kernel.

have you been allowed to share this? you said this wasn't yours... and it still has bugs... maybe the developers don't want to share their unfinished work...
anyway tested it... i could open it with no force close but it didn't work well it could take photos but did 3 shots at a time and run slowly when saving or using functions
wait for the final version
i'm using GNex with CM10.1 28/07 nightly

It's in the git and able to be compiled, it's shareable
Just out of curiosity, are you going to keep this updated with new releases/updates of the app?

This is CyanogenMod's new camera app for CM 10.2 called Focal. It's open source so of course you aloud to share it, you can modify it or incorporate it into your own rom to. Alot of rom's use CM as a base because it's open source. Can't wait for Focal to be stable & bug free, it will be amazing
So far the bugs I've noticed are panorama FCs the app and video is very buggy like others have said. Also, when video is buggy, it makes the gallery very unstable and I've had to FC it to get it working again. Lastly, when I open Focal initially, it opens just fine, but any subsequent opening just shows a black screen unless I FC the app first and that doesn't always work. And it keeps the soft keys in landscape position. It does seem to shoot faster than the stock camera app and even the Moto X's camera app and has more options than both...just need to have all the bugs ironed out and I think it will be a very good app.
Yeah cm rocks if it's completed it will surely replace my stock camera
There is no quick access to the gallery, is there?

force close after installed the app
Wondering how this new app is working for Note 2 users. The camera is very important to me so seriously wanting to get the most out of mine and this new app from the CyanogenMod team promises a lot.
Currently, I am running CM 10.1 and the camera seems to have only one obvious problem. If I close down the camera then open it back up sometimes the screen is completely black and I have to terminate the app and reopen to regain the camera.
And also, I read that this camera had, what is for me the most important functionality of all, spot metering. I don't see it anywhere I the various menus. Has anyone else found it?
Please report back how this camera is doing on your Note 2.
Edit: Focal app is no longer working on my Note 2. FC then will not restart. Stock camera will also not start while Focal is FCing. Stock remains broken after Focal is uninstalled. Running CM 10.1 July 24 2013 Nightly t0ltetmo

When the problem first started I was running CyanogenMod 11 nightly. It ran sporadically and I replaced the battery, which fixed all of the problems I was experiencing except for the camera crash. I tried out SlimRom and then back to CM but it doesn't seem to work on any ROMs. I also tried disabling the built in camera and using the Google camera, and vice versa.
There are two error it gives:
Camera Error!
Cannot connect to camera.
And:
Unfortunately, camera has stopped.
I assume that the first error is given by the application and the second error is given by android itself.
The really weird thing, is that the CamScanner app can access my camera fine without crashing.
I have just been dealing with the issue, because I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. But I would like to use my camera as I am sure anyone could understand.
If anyone could brainstorm up any ideas as to why its crashing, feel free to share.

After updating Cyanogenmod to the latest nightly, the problem persists.
For anyone who has the same problem, I did deep digging on the web and found some flashable zips marketing themselves as camera fixes, but all of then failed.
I did however come up with a work around that I am perfectly comfortable with keeping permanently. I installed the ex-cyanogenmod camera -- Focal.
Focal is on the Google play store and hasn't crashed for me once yet. Why get rid of something that ain't broke, Cyanogenmod?

i think the slimROM thread has a camera-fix-.zip on it , or did. but i see you fixed the issue.:good:
"all i can really do , is stay out of my own way and let the will of heaven be done"
I found at least 4 different ones for the Galaxy S3 but all of them failed. I'll have look into the SlimRom one though because I don't think that was one of the ones I tried.
Hi, did anyone had found a bug creating photospheres pictures with the Streetview app or orther, i have oxygen 3.1.3 and when i tried to create a photosphere the app just take 1 photo and does not allow me to continue taking the other photos, have someone tried it after the firmware update Oxygen 3.2.1?
The bug is still there with 3.2.1.
Have anyone tried in a custom rom?
I can confirm this bug with OOS 3.2.1
Seems to be fixed in 3.2.2 thankfully. Photospheres and panoramas are now quick and reliable. Google cam still doesn't show in the store but apk mirror to the rescue!

This is not working in 3.2.7, if it was ever fixed in 3.2.2. then it is broken again
I contacted support, they don't know how to solve it, don't say if this a known bug which they are planning to fix and just suggest to return the phone
This has been reported by me the day the phone came out. It hasn't been fixed and probably will never be. Haven't tried a custom rom. I think it has something the do with the bad camera drivers. Since snapchat also has issue and any other 3rd party app also is struggling a bit.
