Camera crashes every time I try to open it

In the stock Camera app, it tries to load, and then I get the message "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped". I've rebooted, and deleted data/cache from the Settings -> App menu.
I tried in Camera Zoom FX and the app will load, but I get no picture. It is just a blank screen.
I looked at the adb debug log, and I see a message along the lines of, "Media server has stopped."
I have tried using AOKP rom with Franco Kernel and stock rom, stock kernel (4.0.2).
Are there any other options for me to get the camera to work? It seems like most people on here were able to fix there problem by rebooting, but that is not the case with me.

what rom? ive no problem with bixies 4.1.1 aosp rom and trinity kernel.

I tries AOSP for 4.0, not 4.1, and it still doesn't work. I'm guessing its a hardware issue. Can I replace just the physical camera? Is there a way I can test just the camera? I don't believe its the rom I'm using.
Any one want to buy a nexus with no camera?

Would posting the debug log help? or is this a lost cause.

[Q] Camera stopped working

After the update to 4.2 the video function of my camera stopped working. And the pictures i take have a touch of green and thery are blurred/cloudy.
I tried to flash it back to 4.1.2 and to 4.0.4 (with the official factory image) but still the camera didn`t work.

Still the same problems,
Could you help me please to fix my Camera app.
Thank you,

Camera app not Working after 4.3 update and Rooting

Hello!
I recently updated to 4.3 and rooted the device using Odin, however the default camera app is no longer responding - it gives me the following error message: "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped working".
Things I've done to try and fix it:
1- cleaned cache and data but that didn't solve the problem.
2- also reset the device to factory through settings but it didn't work either
3- re-install camera.apk (wouldn't install using Titanium)
4- install new stock camera from 4.3 rom (installed but got the same message)
5- manually replaced the files for the camera (system/app/SamsungCamera.apk and SamsungCamera.odex) AND Gallery (SecGallery2013.apk and SecGallery2013.apk) with new ones
Issue still persists...
Any ideas? Pls help.
Thanks!

if you're using xpose mod and wanam update to the latest wanam.

Thanks but it didn't work.
I got it solved today thou in an unexpected way by actually using the Back up feature within ROM Manager - the phone went into back up mode (like recovery mode where you see the little android robot and command lines), waited until the back up process was finished then rebooted without choosing the option to "fix possible root loss" warning. After that camera was finally back again.
Then I recalled that the last time I've done this back up through Rom Manager there was some sort of problem during the process which interrupted it so I realize now that somehow it affected the camera (have no idea how they relate thou) - but the fact is that as soon as it successfully finished the back up the issue was automatically fixed. Weird, stupid and very rare, I know... At least is fixed!

Not to thread jack, but do you have the apk for the stock camera app from 4.3? Thanks in advance

I've had exactly this same problem. Do I have to run a backup to fix it?

[Q] Really weird problem with Redmi 1s - MIUI Camera Vanished - SOLVED

I've got a Redmi 1s with stock ROM. (v36.0) 4.3 JLS36C with root. Everything was working fine and I was taking some pictures. All of a sudden Camera shortcut got deleted from the Launcher. I checked the presence of Camera.apk and .odex file at /system/app and is still present there. Tried the following steps, but could not get the Camera launcher back online.
Details:
Rooted stock (version 36.0) CWM installed
Steps tried so far:
Cleared Cache
Cleared Dalvik Cache
Checked the permissions and ownership of the camera.apk.
Tried copying the camera.apk to the sdcard folder and tried installing. It prompted with a warning that the installed app will replace a system app, and on clicking install, the installation failed with an error message "installation failed"
Nothing worked.
Links2SD is installed and none of the apps are frozen.
Tried activity launcher to see if there any camera activity that can be launched, but again in vain.
Please help to get the camera back. I really like the MIUI Camera app. (For the time being, I'm using Camera ICS, Instagram and Fast Burst camera to capture some of the moments with my little one! )
Thanks in advance!
Solved it.
The app was listed in the apps, went and uninstalled all the updates, restored the factory version of the app, cleared the data and cache and voila! the app appeared on screen! Thanks for reading and the suggestions! :good:

back up ur data and hard reset ur phone and see.
if that does'nt work...reflash the latest miui rom for ur region....i should work thereafter .

Facebook messenger freezing on front camera

Hi,
I have recently flashed a new ROM onto my SMT700 which was mostly successful however I am having a problem where the camera freezes as soon as the call starts. I am also unable to take live photos using the app. No other app is having this problem. I have tried using older versions of the messenger app and that seems to have fixed the issue with live photos however the video call problem is still there. I have tried reflashing the ROM and even downgrading to a 6.0 ROM (current is a 7.0) but nothing has fixed this issue. I cannot go back to stock since my backup is broken (I cannot see any partition options in twrp when attempting to restore) so I am currently stuck with this problem. I am also unable to download the stock firmware as every browser I have keeps failing to download it from ant site (SamMobile etc). Any help would be appreciated
