Hey guys... I seem to be having a weird issue after flashing slimkat for a day flashing back to my wicked nandroid from yesterday.
For starters, my Google camera automatically crashes if I try to use the video recorder...
When trying to take a screenshot I get the message "Screenshot could not be saved, USB storage may be in use"
I tried to wipe data on the camera, and wipe cache and davlik in twrp.
Same issue..
Anyone help out? Thanks a bunch
Edit : it now appears that even the regular photos taken from the Google camera do not save either, they snap, but that's it. No saving.

Hey everybody, I'm on a JB rom right now (Jellybelly 3.3), and whenever I try to open the camera, it says flashes a message that gallery has stopped working. I noticed the problem a couple days ago, but I'm not sure how long I've had the problem because I rarely use the camera. When the phone boots up, it flashes the same message.
I've used several roms over the past few weeks, and my usual method of flashing is to wipe data and cache before installing the rom. Since I noticed the problem, I tried wiping data, cache, then system, installing the rom and gapps, then fixing permissions. After that didn't work, I tried using superwipe before flashing a rom. Apparently I've had this problem for a while, as my nandroid backup has the same problem.
Does anybody have any idea as to what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
Did you by any chance freeze/delete the gallery app after you installed the rom? The gallery app is tied to the camera in jellybean, i froze my gallery app(use quickpic instead) and noticed the camera was missing.

No, it doesn't function directly after installing a rom.
My camera for my Galaxy Nexus has been broke for the last several weeks.
When opened, a black screen opens before shortly thereafter giving the message "gallery is unresponsive" and force closes.
I restored to AOKP build 3, updated the ROM to build 4 and flashed that (after corresponding factory reset, wipe data/cache/dalvik).
Now the camera opens, shows the "take picture" etc buttons but still has a black screen and force closes.
I assume while flashing different ROMs I had restored using Titanium backup a system setting/app that caused this problem.
I understand this question has been asked, but I have to find a solution to my problem (I have done battery pull etc.)
Any help will be appreciated.
I should mention that I have had a couple messages over the previous couple weeks where it says "SIM card invalid" and phone restarts.
I have not had this message is several days.
have you tried a different ROM?
use RootBox 4.2.2
ive been using it no problems and amazing battery life, not to mention the smoothness and pure awesomeness of the ROM

Yes. Originally this problem happened shortly after flashing codename. With this ROM, a black screen would show and then "gallery is unresponsive."
I reverted to AOKP and flashed updated version. Now camera app opens, shows the take picture etc. buttons on bottom but where the actual picture should be stays black and gallery goes unresponsive.
Have also tried deleting camera apk and re-flashing a downloading camera zip file. Same problem.

Cleared data and cache for the app. Same issue.
Very frustrating issue.
Fast boot flash back to stock. If camera is still acting up then its more than likely hardware issues

do you get any messages after boy saying something like: com.xxx.xxx has unexpectedly stopped. this has happened to me to. you have to format your sd card. try that
remember to backup all your important file from the sd card to your computer EXCEPT the DCIM (where a'll your pictures and stuff are. anything related to the gallery don't backup)
Why not try a complete wipe.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
In that order
then fastboot back to stock as mentioned by namtombout.
If that doesn't work it is indeed a hardware issue.

I don't think I've got any of these messages..
I will attempt the complete wipe per instructions in this thread (simply working up to the time that I actually will go through with it). I'm thinking I must have restored some system settings/camera settings from titanium backup during one of my recent ROM changes.
My battery life has been awfully poor lately as well....wondering if the restore of some system setting screwed with that as well...
Hopefully the complete wipe will get things back in order.

after you complete the wipe, DO NOT use titanium backup to restore your apps (even user apps). try fresh ones from the play store and see if that helps. if not im afraid you will have to go back to stock and then root again, flash a new ROM again, and then download your apps from the play store.
this problem has happened to me with my old phone (Samsung Captivate) but the formatting of the SD card fixed that for a while, when it started again i did the steps above and the phone worked better than ever.
i installed this rom last night, working great for me, only one thing camera not working. After taking one picture it just freezes, nothing can be done after that, the only solution is to restart and after restart i can only take one picture and again it freezes. Is there any fix for it plz help...
One thing more i have switched the run-time from dalvik to Art and after that titanium backup not working, i try to re-install the latest version straight from Google play, but unable to install - error

hello, am a total noob myself but stumbled across a fix for camera not working after a cm 11 nightly flash. i reinstalled camera app and data from my titanium zip and camera worked fine afterwards. perhaps you could reinstall from your nandroid backup (if you have one), just an idea.

You my try this: go to recovery then wipe dalvik cache and format cache. But don't expect much from CM based camera... it's borked. My personal recommendation is SnapCamera, it's not free but I am tired with stock camera issues.

I already tried that option dear, not working after restoring data from titanium bkup and after switching to Art, titanium also not working, will try Snap Camera and other backup apps. Thanks for suggestions
While cleaning junk files on my Sprint Gnex root 4.3 stock Build JWR67B.L700GJ04, I accidently deleted a file called gallery.3d, or something like that. Shortly after whenever i tried to take a picture with Instagram, or anyother camera app even the stock camera app, it would crash and say the the gallery has closed. I can still view all of my pictures perfectly fine in the stock gallery app, but i am unable to take any pictures due to the app craching everytime i attempt to open it to take a picture. I've tried clearing the cache and data from the gallery app and rebooting but that does not work. the first time i simply rebooted it seemed to fix the error but it was only temporary. If someone could please help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
Try clear cache and dalvik in recovery if you have one

I reinstalled the app by reflashing my GApps. After reboot i opened the camera app, and it seemed to work at first but then it never fully opened the camera to where I could see an image, froze and closed and gave me the same message "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped". Not sure what to do from here.

maybe that camera + gallery. apk not compatible wt rom. try others or update.
wipe data partition not erase any data in internal storage. so, your internal data saved. the apk's setup gone. good to try

No, would won't
Yesterday, I opened up the camera app and tried to record only to find it with the error, Warning: Recording Failed, then the app shuts down.
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and I have used pimp my rom to edit camera quality, but I believe my camera was working after that. I hadn't backed up original pimo my rom settings before config so nothing can be done there.
I have tried the following things:
Cleared cache and data, reboot
Cleared cache and data, wiped cache partition
Installed other camera apps (They showed similar errors)
Factory reset
Plain reboot
Edit camera settings (resolution lowered, quality lowered)
The only thing left to do would be update to the latest firmware, but my rooted tablet doesn't allow it, so I would need to do it manually.
Is there a way to fix this problem? I have looked for answers to not prevail.

lets see here... you rooted your phone, then pimped it out to peeps to make money when they need a camera?
The hardware is not gonna get any better by tweaking something in android. 720p is as best as you will get.
I bet your SD card is corrupt try refomating to allow camera to save to SD.

Nope, didn't work.
Formatted SD card
Tried with every single setting on the camera.
Nothing works.
I'll try taking out the battery and sd card and putting em back in like I saw on a similar thread, but it's proabably not gonna work.
