[Q] Camera not working properly after root

Hello everyone, im new to the forum. I rooted my phone about a month ago. I am not using a custom rom or anything and my camera stopped working properly about 2 weeks ago. Everytime I open the camera app, it does not give a clear picture. everything is in purple and blue. Has anyone ever had this problem?
Thanks for any help

So I take it your a on stock rom with root access? Try flashing another rom, or restore a backup?
Yea I am on a stock rom. I did restore it the first time that happened and it worked for 2 weeks, but it happened again.
Are you changing any settings? You may want to try sprint lovers rom, its pretty much the exact stock rom you're on now. I'm not too familiar witht he camera just stopping on ya.

[Q] Camera doesn't work. Any Ideas?

I've had this problem FAR too long. I'm running a custom ROM but whether i revert to a stock ROM or not, the problem does not go away. Whenever I try to load my camera, the screen just stays black. There is no camera icon for when the app is loading it's just black.
I've had my phone for over a year and i think taking it to sprint is out of the question. I could load a stock ROM to bring it in i just think it's been too long.
I'm using Deck's ICS right now and am aware that the camera doesn't work for the version i am on. I'm flashing to the stock ROM now so that those doubts can be set to rest.
Has anyone experienced this problem and how did they fix it?

So i did a full wipe 3 times and put back a stock ROM and it DOES work. The reason i posted was because the problem was becoming progressively worse and the last few ties i put stock on it didn't work. but now perhaps with the three wipes it did! We'll see how long this lasts...

[Q] Camera stopped with cm update

Hi,
last week i updated my cyanogenmmod to 20140526 and had some bigger Problems with the Dialer. I was not able to call someone. Every time the idcallerui crashed.
Because of this i tried some different roms like Paranodid or older cm roms. Now i dont have this Problem with the dialer but now my camera doesnt work any more. If i try to open the camera it stopps. Before i installed a new rom i always did a full wipe in the recovery mode.
I tried different gapps from paranoid, cm, mini or stock but nothng fixes my camera.
I dont want to send it back to samsung to get this fixed because i have to wait to long for my phone.
What did i do wrong? False Gapps for galaxy nexus?
What combination of rom and gapps can u recommend?
i now have flashed my device back to complete stock rom. But the problem still exists. when i try to open the camera app it stoppes.
i tried a app called facecam and there i get the error :"Failed to connect to camera service"
Should i send it to Samsung? I still have 3 Weeks Waranty
how can i see if it is definitly stock and samsung cant see that i had root and a diferent rom?

2 things!
1* You front facing camera needs to be replaced
2* Send it to Samsung like it is they do not care if the phone is locked, rooted, or a custom rom.
Trust me I've done it myself!

[Q] One problem or another

I am trying to find a fully functional rom. I have tried numerous roms and run into 2 or 3 of the same problems. What I need is working ? . Working Wifi. Working Camera. And working GPS. Most of the roms have given me a problem with the camera. For instance, I take a picture in a dark place and when the flash goes off I get a black screen and there is no display I am forced to pull battery as the phone will not reboot after. I have not had wifi or bluetooth problems in a long time so I can not comment on that. I recently tried Liquid Smooth's 4.4 rom and the camera works, however GPS will not work unless connected to WIFI which does me no good if it won't navigate. Has anyone found a rom out there that is fully functional? I do not have service on my device, which is d2spr by the way, so mobile data and 4g are not needed. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
If you want fully functional with no additional stuff except what you want, just use stock odex, latest firmware is NJ2, If stock untouched is giving you problems then you may have a messed up internal memory or something.
Wicked S5
Phone is Completely Screwed
So i flashed a MK5 Modem on my L710t due to the fact that my wifi and data were not working ... I though it would fix this ... before that on some roms, the wifi would work, but the data didn't ... and vice versa with other roms ... Carbon and LiquidSmooth to be specific. I can't seem to fix it .. so i tried Unrooting back to all stock everything ... and no matter what tar file i use i get a FAIL in Odin ... i tried three tar files and even tried the 1-click.exe. got an EPIC FAIL ... i tried flashing a stock MK5 deodexed rom because i had flashed a MK5 modem and the damned rom wouldn't boot ... I really just want to revert to a stock Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III with 4.4.2 and an N8 Modem or whatever modem it came out of the box with ... CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME ...
please and thanks
Thanks. It was a pain in the butt to get it installed as I had to update to ND8 but I think this is is quite functional and what I was hoping for will see in a few days how the system reacts but so far the camera works and i am bout to test gps. So thank you for recommending the Wicked S5.

Annoying camera and wifi problems with p8000

I got this phone a few days ago and it would be good if it didn’t have 3 annoying problems which are disconnects from wifi (plus it won't reconnect), camera won't open (it says the gallery has stopped working) and google now searches come up blank, the only way to fix these is to reboot the phone and I have to do this 3 times a day, is this a rom problem or a problem with the phone itself? I have the default rom which came rooted

Hi, you should try to flash a new rom (stock rom, or custom rom like eragon). Serveral users have reported similar problems and have solved with a new rom.
If you don't want to install a new rom, you could try first to wipe data (Factory reset)
Regarding to these problems i think you are using the original Stock ROM first version from the 25072015.
This version had a lot of bugs, like the camera problem,... I think you must update the ROM before you can be happy with the P8000.
There is a new Stock ROM published on the 09.09.21015 or some custom ROMs to update your Phone.
