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.

Hello guys, I just recently rooted my android phone and I installed a custom rom (Nebula 1.0.7) However whenever I use any video messaging app (Yahoo, Qik, and Fring) I notice that my camera is always sideways and I appear the same way towards the other guy. My front camera would always appear to be sideways even if I were to rotate my phone.
I never had this problem before, is there any way to 'mirror' my camera so that it would look upright?
Any help would be very appreciated
Same thing here. I don't think there is a fix for this until we get the official froyo.
Thats quite a shame, I wonder why they can't seem to fix it.
No matter ,its hardly a issue
Yeah I know. It does suck. First time I updated to froyo and saw that I was like wtf? Lol.

I had the same issue running stock DK28. Sometimes it would rotate correctly, others not. I'm sure it will get fixed soon enough!

Its Screen Rotation Lag.....I believe? I have been trying to fix that for a month or so myself to no avail. Its just a matter of time and a fix will become available. (Froyo/NebulaROM7Sisters-Ext4CWM3)
I think I found the Fix, Download spare parts from the Market. Open it, in the section marked transitions....set that to fast. I just tried it and cleared up all lag for me.

I use oovoo and it works very well. I know it's a hassle downloading yet another video chat program but it's quite a bit smaller than Yahoo! video and actually works better.

Android 4.1.2 works very well. I installed latest cyongenmod 10 alpha 2 on my samsung wonder device. Some issues;
taking pictures constantly shifting panorama of the screen and green striped screen and having.
freezes the camera is required in some programs and still having trouble with the green screen.
google maps plug-ins, but they did not set my link. tried to establish a "not compatible with your country" I got an error like this.
fm radio feature would be nice to have but not absolutely necessary.
the camera did not have any problems with the previous version of cm10. How can I solve problems, especially with the camera?

CM10 works REALLY well considering it's only at alpha 2 release....as future releases appear, the bugs will gradually disappear. On CM9, the camera bugs weren't fixed til alpha 7 or later (but they WERE fixed). If camera is that important for your needs, I'd advise that you go back to CM9 and wait until CM10 is more "mature". As far as radio is concerned, AFAIK there is no support for it in either CM9 or CM10 ROMs..... no matter who designed/produced them. There is a thread somewhere here on XDA about an app called SPIRIT FM that some people have had success with....

I have almost the same issue, but my problem started only about two weeks ago, just like that, it worked without problems for more than a month before that - I use vijendrahs' JB rom 3.1, and after an update of Instagram, the app started freezing, and I've tried reinstalling, tried installing older versions, tried changing the CPU governor, wiped, nothing helped. :/
I tried disabling gpu h/w overlay in the developers option menu it helped, bt for some reason it automatically revert back to the enable state after I uploaded a single picture :s wired! ..have to try re flashing the rom... U could give it a try this way by disabling the h/w overlay..

Unfortunately didn't help, but thanks for the idea. I'll wait if it sorts itself out, if not, then I'll just use Instagram to look at photos, for the time being
same exact problem here !
I tried 2, maybe 3 different (JB)Roms, same problem
and I guess we should not contact(or blame) Instagram for this, right? ...they'll freak out anyways when you tell them that you're using JB on this phone
is it allowed to bump? ..... oh wait

I am not on your phone platform, but found this thread searching for others with Google Keep problems. I installed Keep last night, fired it up and it crashed. Tried again,, crashed. Rebooted the phone and when it came back it was like it had lost a bunch of 'data files' . By that I meant the phone acted as though it was factory reset, yet all apps were there. 90% of them would not run and those that did acted like they were just installed and had none of my settings. Restored data only via Titanium Backup and had to reinstall a couple apps. I may wait awhile and see if it was just me that had this kind of failure.
It works fine for me.
It's not all that exciting, but it's functional.
same here, used to work with stock 4.0.4 but since I have installed (from scratch) Alliancerom 4.1.2 on my S2, it keeps crashing on launch...
any idea ?
Are you guys having issues while running a custom ROM? I had issues with Keep on NoWizAOSP until the developer tweaked something and then it started working.
I had problems with NoWiz. Other ROMs worked fine w/Keep. I'm going to grab the latest NoWiz and see if it's working now.

Not on SGN II, but same behavior. Crashes on launch, every single time. Installed, re-installed, rebooted, et al. It's not liking the Holics rom I'm running it seems... That is strange... and would make it the first ever app to dislike this rom. Thoughts anyone ?

if it can help, in my case it was caused by a customised Google Play (official Google Play but with a dark theme) bundled in Rom Alliance.
I had to uninstall it and reinstall the standard Google Play and it worked.
hope it will help.
Thanks for the hint. I don't have a themed or homebrewed version of Play, so no luck there. I can find random reports here and there of people experiencing this, on various phones with various - but always cooked - roms. So my guess is that Keep calls on something possibly not included in some of the roms out there... Speaking out my **s of course, as I have in fact no idea
Guess I'll have to wait a few days/weeks and see what the deal is.

I figured out the problem. You have to edit your build.prop file located in the system folder. You have to be rooted to do this.
Look for the line that says ro.build.type=user and change it to ro.build.type=userdebug
Then make sure to reboot the device.
Now it should work. I was having the same problem. ?
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

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?
