[Q] PLEASE Help!!!!

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 anymore, 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!!

First thing I'd do is make a nandroid backup, then factory reset. If it fixes it then some data you had was causing the issue.
Next thing to try is copy the cameradata folder from a stock rom to yours. Reboot and test.
If that doesnt help i would then Odin flash stock/root66 firmware and factory reset. Then test the camera. If its still not working it may be hardware. If it works, you can be certain its software/firmware related. No sense in more troubleshooting if you determine its hardware related.
If it works on stock but not after a clean rom flash, the rom is likely the problem. Search its thread for similar issues.
Good luck!

Thank you so much for the reply I will try this! If the factory reset does not work do you where I would able to find the camera data folder for Stock S3 Rom?

Unzip any stock based rom such as StockMod and its in the system folder.

Help?!

The reset didn't work...I', trying to fix this camera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
This camera keeps freezing and then I have to end the task. After I end the task and try to go back to camera I get an "Camera error: Can't connect to camera." The lens blur and photo sphere and panorama are not working. Also, the camera is not taking the full screen when in rear facing camera but when I change to front facing the size becomes even smaller. Any idea how I can fix these problems? I am getting frustrated

I figured it out...it was a ROM problem. I flashed liquid smooth 4.4.2 and it worked perfectly.

It is a possibility, you can try and see. I flashed a completely different ROM.

Major Camera Problems

I have a stock Zenfone2. I updated to the latest firmware a couple days ago. Snapchat began being choppy and laggy when switching between front and rear camera. Then this morning, My front view (selfie) camera has stopped working. It just shows black. Any ideas how to fix it? Any suggestions would be great?

Edit: now both cameras have stopped working. Wtf

So if i attempt to switch from rear camera to front facing one. It freezes and shuts down the app. Then when I reopen either camera or Snapchat, it won't work. After a couple powers down, the rear camera starts working again.
Everything was working fine before last Asus update. Is there any way to rollback the update? Should I attempt a hard reset? Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated.

download the firmware for your device Z00A or Z008 and flash it through adb.

Should update upload same firmware or the previous firmware? I have the ZE551ML, so it would be the Z00AD firmware, correct? Have only done the OTR updates so far.

have you clear your cache. if you did try to factory reset it. i know it takes a long time to set everything again but it fixed my issue

Camera error, can't connect to the camera

So after flashing MHC19J via Clean Core, I can no longer connect to use the camera. What's even weirder, is that I downgraded back to my previous ROM, and now the camera has the same issue. I have no idea how to fix this. I have uninstalled the camera app via system remover app and reinstalled it. Issue is still there. Tried clearing data and cache, still not working.
Any suggestions? I have never had this before.

I have the same problem, could you find any solution?

I have to same issue too... help?

Guys try to flash full stock rom using sdk and then write if problem still is
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA-Developers mobile app

I'm having yhe same problem, and it's acting strange, I wass on stock N when camera didn't started, rooted installed custom rom, and it didn't start neither.
Reverted to stock MM, and didn't start, upgraded to stock N again and worked just fine, after rooted and installed custom rom again it worked perfectly, and moments later didn't started, Rebooted two times and worked, later it didn't started again.
Tried to change vendor, rebooted in safe mode, nothing worked, any clue what might be the problem?
SOLVED: flashed the vendor again after installeg rom and camera started working,
Thanks!

Hi, after a while, the problem reappeared.
Again i've flashed the vendor.img and camera worked just fine for a while.
If i reboot to safe mode camera works fine but one time the camera didn't start even in safe mode.
So i can't find a proper path for this problem.
I've recorded 2 logcats, - at the first one camera worked fine
- the second one camera didn't start
